[Kernel] 308 Kernel for ICS

Here is something I have been working on and thought I would share.
It is a 3.08 kernel based on DZOs source and modified with some governer settings the way I like them, a bit of tuning of the voltages and cpu freqs, and a lot of cherry picks from different sources.
Sources:
Mine:
https://github.com/PaulMilbank/kernel_huawei.git
Build off the master branch with the u8800_defconfig if you want to compile yourself.
Where I borrowed from:
https://github.com/Blefish/android_kernel_huawei_u8800: Quite a few cherry picks from the ICS_Chocolate source.
https://github.com/virtuous/htc7x30-3.0.git: Mostly KGSL fixes from here.
https://github.com/ezeteze/u8800-kernel: Gave me an idea about how much to undervolt by.
https://github.com/dzo/kernel_huawei: Pulled some old fixes from the .35 ICS source
https://github.com/TomGiordano/kernel_huawei: Pulled some changes from the .35 ICS Source
Mostly these have been cherry picks that I integrated into my kernel and some tuning by me.
Also thanks to fjsferreira for his guide on compiling DZO source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577876
Everything that worked on DZOs kernel should work here and it should also fix a few annoying bugs.
Notes:
First Kernel:
The battery life is largely improved. I easily get 24 hours use and could probably get up to 2 days if I turned wifi off and turned mobile data off when I was not using it.
I have not seen the random text corruption on this kernel. I did see it a few times on the original aurora kernel.
It seems at least as smooth as the original Aurora kernel, maybe a bit smoother.
It should leak slightly less memory and handle kernel events better.
It is not magic though, you may still have the odd reboot and not everything is perfect. It should be at least as good as the original and hopefully a lot better.
Not so much distortion over back speaker.
Added SIO cpu scheduler.
07/10/2012 update kernel#22:
Swap and Zram enabled, need to test.
1.8ghz is back
368mhz minimum clock.
13/10/2012 update kernel #54
Some CAF and Huawei pro wifi code for testing.
Changed readahead (may need to wipe cache, dalvic cache for this, seems to cause some apps to force close without those wipes.)
Couple more KGSL tweaks
Couple of Bluetooth tweaks.
14/10/2012 update kernel #55
Revert most wifi changes, I am still getting wifi sticking on, will likely have another revert here too.
Reduce readahead some more, please wipe cache, dalvic cache and fix permissions when flashing after this change.
fix a line of code I forgot to add
Revert a franco change.
Boost lowmwmory killer values to hold a bit more ram free and kill appps/background processes a little earlier.
SuperStock Kernel
Test kernel for those with issues. Just latest DZO config, latest DZO source fresh from his github, no CAF or Franco changes
Undervolt from 308 Kernel
368mhz minimum, might need to set this to 245 to match DZO kernel
lowmemorykiller updated
swap and zram enabled.
Hopefully this should show where issues are occurring in my other kernel.
If you get a reboot, do the following from a terminal or over adb:
Code:
su
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 > /sdcard/crash.txt
Then post the crash file (if it has anything in it) here.
Get it Here:
07/10/2012 Kernel #22: http://www.mediafire.com/?o5niwi1jb73j2jn
13/10/2012 update #54: http://www.mediafire.com/?ih5iy936irt326i
14/10/2012 update #55: http://www.mediafire.com/?u29faeh4v1l0sfw
SuperStock Kernel: http://www.mediafire.com/?67o0y9kc2956fy1
Works in Aurora and Miui, I tried it in AOKP, but it did not boot so something went wrong there, not sure what yet.
Will update here and on GitHub too as I make more changes.
Cheers

Please can u explain the changes in more detail? and where is download link?

Sorry, posted instead of hitting the preview button. Everything up now.

Is it possible to provide only the Kernel update?

Can we undervolt even more?
Actually just noticed... since u modified only the kernel, why you post the whole ROM?

firstly, thank you so much!
I just want to request a tuning in camera, cause camera on aurora 4.1a is a little bit slow (it's delay like 0.3s and blurry as hell:crying

Thanks to you, the screen tearing problem that I had on DZO's 4.1 ICS is gone.

Is this just on my kernel or the original Aurora too? have you tried tap to focus or holding the button down until the square goes green to show it is focussed? Should not be blurry if it is focussed correctly.

Anykernel updater posted.

can you try to compile JB source from code Aurora with this kernel. it might get quite stable now.

Thanks Paul your kernel + init.d tweaks = super silky smooth ui great work mate

Glad it is helping people. What init.d tweaks did you use?
Also I won't be compiling roms from source. I don't have the hardware to do it. Kernels are about my limit.

I get random touches in the right edge of the screen with this kernel. Synaptics digitizer.

Not sure about this, have not changed anything with the synaptics driver. If it worked in DZOs kernel, it should work here.

so if u want to use on aurore i only need to download the file on the first page and your kernel is already there?

Can I use this kernel on Elora ROM?

I was waiting for any kernel!!
Already testing and tearing screen problem gone, WiFi is super fast! You have done really great job!

So far yes.
I'm pretty sure he is waiting for an official Lineage build to act as a base for his Lineage kernel.

With LOS from what I have experienced on my oneplus 5T it depends on the revision... I am running AICP based some on LOS and with firmware 5.1. The simpler kernels seemed to be better performers overall. Alot of old kernel stuff we used to do in low ram slow processor days doesnt make as much of a difference that I could see. Overclocking , meh underclocking I read setting the big cluster or gold cluster to 1958 max helps. not sure I noticed alot of difference. No reason to mess with voltage,
All the ones I tried NONE affected audio volume at all even though most have options for it.
Flash kernel works fine seemed to boot fast, no reboots issues. Same version has worked on the last months of changes , has noop,deadline, cfq,bfq, and maple)
Franken worked fine also, I/O has noop, deadline,cfq,bfq,
EX Flar2's worked also (though the version the app gets you dont see on his download page) has a few more features (i.e. more choices in governors , I/O options)
Madys and singularity booted but had different issues. one had stuttering on the sound the other alot of pauses. Alot of options. Long boot time also compared to above mentioned ones.
Blu_spark didnt boot on my latest nightly. And I used his custom R11 version (newest I saw on his download page on XDA) Really want to try it out but didnt boot. Will play more with that and try again later.
---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------
Also, EX kernel manager, KA-Mod reborn, and kernel manager for Franco Kernel all worked on all of them,
KA-Mod lets you rename your device in the app (that you can do elsewhere in the rom also, ) so your phone shows up on bluetooth with a unique custom name.
Franco Kernel Manager has per app profiles, light color shift for night etc, and ALOT of tweaks and even a page to suggest other apps to improve batter life. I paid for Franco and that is what I am sticking with. If you run Franco's kernel it will update and flash it for you
EX kernel manager also will update and flash their kernel.

[Discussion] Favourite Kernel and Why ?

We have another post for ROM. Why do we not have another post for Kernel ?
As we can see, we have more than 5 kernels that are from XDA developer or someone else. But which one is really good for your ROM and which one still keep updating ?
I have been using OP5T for 2 months. Have used so many kernels but i still got stuck in those and do not know which is more stable. I am planning to use the kernel from Blu_Spark. Is that good ?
Post your favourite kernel and tell everybody why you use that. It will help newbie to pick what they want.

I am using Flash kernel at the moment but I have already tried Blu, franko, arter, ElementalX etc, but honestly for me it's difficult to see any difference since this phone have already a great battery life and great speed. On my previous phone (S8) the custom kernel gives a big advantage since the phone have tons of bloat and and isn't running stock like Android.

I have tried Blu and Franco for now and both have been very good. I really think kernel performance depends on the combo with the ROM as well as your device. I'm on Liquid Remix with Franco currently but I may give Resurrection Remix a try with Flash. If I had more time, I'd flash every ROM with every kernel to get a feel for all the possibilities LOL. :good:

For me Franco and flash kernel are the Best.... Now with ob3 with Franco kernel
Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A5010 mediante Tapatalk

Did the Franco improve battery or performance? Someone Tried the Boeffla?

At the moment, both Flash Kernel and RenderKernel are great options in my opinion. I have tried most of the other kernels on xda and if you are looking specifically for smoothness/speed, these are the two you should test first. I do not run battery cycles; everyones daily use scenario really differs too much.
Flash Kernel currently has some kernel features I need (Kcal support & wakelock blocker) while RenderKernel does not have these features quite yet. While it lacks in some features, RenderKernel is undoubtedly the smoothest kernel for 5T right now.
I am on a 5T with OOS 5.0.3.

I like Franco but recently some custom ROMs have WIFI cannot turn on problem after I flash Franco kernel.

I haven't really played around with Kernel choices much.
I use and appreciate the professionalism of ElementalX kernel.
With it's options to adjust for extreme brightness, it quickly became a favorite a couple years ago and I've just stuck with it since.
Now most devs are adding high brightness to their kernels.
I guess I can start checking other kernels out.
I do like that ElementalX stays very stockish, reliable.
I can pretty much flash it and feel confident nothing weird will pop up over the next few days.

ElementalX, Franco, and flash were all my go-to kernels back in the 6p days (just a few months ago, lol), so it's hard to pick, especially since they all ended up on the 5t. Right now I'm on exkernel though I am partial to flash. Battery life is amazing on all 3, but the overclock on ex just adds that extra bit of smoothness that I've never experienced before. Call it placebo but I just love this kernel (exkernel).

any more input?
im curious to know if fsync affects battery performance at all, can someone also test this out if you are on a kernel that enables disabling the fsync feature

Tried it but didn't notice any difference.
Technically it should improve performance when using the phone, but it won't be noticeable.

Custom kernel has nothing to do with google play services. You need custom recovery to flash a kernel, but most kernels for op5t are "flash & forget" which mean there is no reason to change the setting of the kernel.

maybe not Google play services specifically, but with my latest phone (zuk z2), kernel was directly related to deep sleep
stock OOS/kernel has a serious issue with Google PS in terms of deep sleep. Besides that, I dont feel any need to flash a custom kernel. SOT is incredible already, and performance is really fluid.

If you are OK then there is no need to flash a kernel. If an app is crap (like Google services or facebook) the kernel can't do miracles and its not kernels job to control wakelocks of user apps
