I've seen the papermoon kernel apparently allowing for screen overclocking. I am using MengT R1 and do not plan on replacing it due to its amazing performance and SoT. So I'm wondering if a flashable mod or such could be created, maybe even by the developer of papermoon or any other kernel which supports overclocked refresh rates, to allow for others that use other kernels to utilise this. Replies would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

guys/gals,
have a question for those running custom kernels. would you mind sharing your kernel versions, setcpu settings, and benchmarks? some of us are interested to see the data. maybe the first person posting response could format their info so as people reply, they post their data in a similar structure so it is quick/easy to read/follow/compare.
thanks to anyone who responds.
You may get better battery life by letting the kernel dictate the speed the device runs at. The main function of setCPU should be to overclock the high end, not the low end.
This is just my opinion after not using setCPU, but it is a good assumption because the kernel already has these options built in.
Hey guys,
I wanted to get everyone's feedback and experiences between the 3 kernels. I realize that every device behaves differently, but was curious about which ones people have tried, if they found any cool things about specific ones they really liked Or if you wanted to share your experience about the latest build.
Thanks!
Trinity and franco are about the same, but trinity>franco.
KTmanta is in a totally different league, it offers total customization and imo is the best kernel just because of that.
Franco and Trinity are all about performance where ktmanta is about battery optimizations and customizations.
I haven't used Franco or trinity in a while, I know they score higher in benchmarks if that means anything at all.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I think everyone knows my preference, but they are all good kernels. Unfortunately this tablet is not on Franco's priority list and does not see much development. I dont believe it has a 4.3 compatible version yet and the last release has a serious bug that causes SoD for most people.
I like Trinity and KManta for different reasons (those stated above). If I need to squeeze out battery life, I go with KManta and tweak the settings accordingly. But for my day-to-day use, I like Trinity for its smoothness. Just my two cents
Awesome input guys! Real useful information.
How would you guys describe KTManta when just using the stock values? When you guys say "customization", do you guys mean the voltage settings and stuff like that? I've been flashing for years, but have never really understood how that worked. Which is funny, because I am an experienced PC overclocker. People say the concept is very similar. If KTManta's customization options were removed, would it be then comparable to Trinity? Or would it still be better without all the options?
Would you guys say Trinity still has decent battery life? Compared to KTManta at stock values?
Which one does Chrome work the best with?
Thanks!
Stock for stock Trinity is better because Morfic hardcodes overclock and undervolt values into the kernel and sets up all that stuff as his stock settings for the kernel. KTManta allows you to do those things and WAY more, but does not set them up as stock values because Ktoonsez prefers to keep the default settings for his kernel closer to the default settings of the stock AOSP kernel. So while Trinity may have -50mv undervolt to everything and a GPU overclock of 620MHz (I think that is the speed?), KTManta allows you to go +/- 200 mv to any frequency step for CPU or GPU that you feel like and also allows OC to 2.1GHz on CPU and 720MHz on the GPU if you want to, as well as RAM OC if you want to, and control of the scaling of every part of the chipset, again if you *want* to. But it doesnt set any custom stuff as default since everyone's device is unique and people want to do different things with it. That is why we have pre-made settings available from various users so that you can load custom values to try out without having to go through a bunch of experimentation yourself.
What's YOUR Set-Up?
Hello everyone, like most people here on XDA, I enjoy switching between ROMs and Kernels while keeping an eye out for a daily driver that I like best. If you have any other ROM/Kernel combinations that you enjoy and think others might also enjoy, please feel free to share them here and explain why it's awesome!
:laugh: :good:
This thread is for the Nexus 6P only
Currently I'm running:
Device: Nexus 6P - 32 GB - Aluminum (If you're curious )
ROM: Chroma (11/22) latest with SElinux Enforcing
Kernel: ElementalX (0.08) latest [SElinux Enforcing option ticked.]
Small Cluster - 1555 MHz (stock)
Large Cluster - 2054 MHz (Max)
Govenor - ElementalX
Min. CPU Frequency - 600 MHz
Max. CPU Frequency - 1824 MHz
GPU: Max = 600 MHz / Min = 180 MHz / Governor = msm-adreno-tz <------------- Anyone recommend a different governor? One for performance and the other interactive?
Color Setting Recommendations? (ElementalX App Only)
I/O Scheduler - FiOPS <----------------------- Anyone recommend a different I/O? BatterySaver/Performance/Interactive?
I'm also curious about the color fixes that Kernels purport to solve (washed out blacks? other issues?) and how to apply these fixes if someone can point me in the right direction or provide their own instructions and values for the color options (Everywhere I look just says tune to your liking but I need somewhere to start, and frankly, I don't know where to start)
I'm really enjoying this ROM/Kernel combo but I am having Battery Drain to the likes I've never seen before, which is probably my fault.
I'll attach logs from BetteryBatteryStats as well as the Battery Stats from Stock 6 or so hours after the posting of this thread (for accuracy).
Any 'Standard' or 'Conventional' logs needed to convey insightful information? for BBS or for anything else? Let me know.
Please let me know if you need any other information and perhaps how I can retrieve it for you (kinda noobish, but not extremely bad lol)
I'm certain it's a user issue but I don't know how to find and correct the issues myself, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running Chroma ROM for some of the simple customizations and its speed (I don't care about Layers [probably cuz I don't know how to use them]).
I'm running ElementalX simply for the Overclock/Underclock CPU options and the advanced color control (once I learn how to use it) but I don't care about any of the gestures, sweep2sleep,
NTFS r/w and exFAT support (no clue what this is), and Option to disable fsync (don't know what this is/does)
Lastly, what I'm looking for out of a ROM/Kernel combo is great battery life and great performance, with some fun features but definitely minimal. So if feel your setup matches these wants, and you don't mind sharing it here with me, as well as others who may be looking for a similar setup, please do so!
I, as well as most others on this forum, would also be happy to help troubleshoot any problems you may be experiencing with your ROM/Kernel combo to the best of our abilities but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fix your phone and the responsibility of the device lies with you, the user.
Stock rooted rocks for the first 3 months until development picks up, kernel developers make enough changes and rom developers fully implement most features into their roms.
Enjoying Stock Rooted smoothness... for now!
No need to create multiple threads on exact same thing.

Hello, i'm thinking of flashing a custom kernel to my MXP, but I don't really know which kernel should I choose cause I don't know which is better.
There are 2 kernels that which very popular around here are Squid and Ultra kernel.
I'm trying to flash a kernel which support for great gaming performance and extend the battery life a little bit, and giving less heat up my beloved phone. I've heard there's a kernel that can overclock past 1.6GHz, so I want to try (To be honest I've never overclock a modern generation phone's CPU before so I don't want to in over my head, plus I don't want to overclock it because I don't really want to because I've been out of the game for so long since I did it with my Sony X8).
I'm opening this thread hoping you guys (the Pros) can teach me, show me or recommend me about this.
Thank you
So as far as I know there are two kernels available for marshmallow. Squid's and Ultra. Squid was the first around here and has kept updating and improving. That is the one that you can overclock, as a matter of fact is overclocked as soon as you flash it. Most people use Kernel Adiutor to tweak it. Ultra kernel on the other hand expands on Squid's but it hasn't been updated in a while and some of the governors available on Ultra create crashes and bootloops. In reality the only way to go is stock (as in the one that comes with whatever ROM you flash) or squid's. Some people might disagree with me but I would suggest making your own opinion by reading through the threads. Most questions, issues and concerns are addressed within. Otherwise, good luck.
Hi, this is a friendly request for the senior devs on this forum. I am actually a noob when it comes to kernel compilation. So I wanted to ask if anyone here has already compiled or is willing to compile the latest stock kernel (from 3.6.1) with no other features except kcal controls. Because me and other OP2 users feel that battery life is best on stock kernel but the washed out display is absolutely disgusting. Also if it's not possible just us know, thanks in advance!

Did you try boeffla's kernel? gives much better battery life than stock for me (1/3 longer, in any scenario i tested it).
If you still want to have stock kernel here are the kcal commits. just set up Virtualbox Ubuntu, set up build environment , download official op kernel source (the 6.0.0 version!) and cherry-pick the commits (google it).
If the effort is not worth it, use boeffla's or stock without Kcal.
I can try to help you if you're stuck, but mind that i'm just starting with compiling stuff myself.

Yeah man I have tried boeffla. Performance is okay but battery isn't as good as stock imho. Maybe my settings affected it. Can you tell me which version of boeffla you use and what settings so maybe I can replicate your results. Thanks man.

Sure, i use boeffla 2.4-beta5, interactive battery extreme governor (u can tweak max frequency on little to 1200mhz), set little cores (i use 2, you can set it to 3-4 for more performance) set big cores to min0, max0 (if you need power to play games etc. set to min0 max 1-2) GPU underclocked to 27mhz, boost disabled, governor adreno (or powersave, might gives lags)
Further i installed xposed, greenify, amplify (there is a free version, but u have to compile it by yourself--> easiest with android studio).
And i followed this thread to maximize my battery life.
Tried several rom and kernel combinations, with this setup i get a sot of 5-6h with 48h of not charging or 7-8h in less than 24h. But on Lineage 13 its even better... (trying to compile a custom oxygenos, debloated, without playstore, F2FS capable right now but not able to activate F2FS)
If you're interested in the ext4 image, tell me (its untested though).

Damn dude these settings sound a bit extreme doesn't your phone lag like hell lol. And oh hey that sounds really interesting! Is it based off 3.6.1? And what kernel have you implemented it with. Right now I'm testing HalogenOS (loving it so far) but when I feel like switching again I would love to try your build. Link me!

I don't even have microlags (with other kernels and this settings it lags like hell, idk why boeffla doesn't)
However, app opening speed and switching between apps is a bit slower than usual).
Idk what the official source's base is (i guess 3.5.8) as i could'nt boot it up yet. Kernel is original kernel (with F2FS activated by me), i'll change this when it boots with f2fs.
I'll send you the link when i have time
