Hello and welcome! So I started this because I hated having to have a different app to change some of the kernel settings and having init.d scripts for each kernel was a hassle to me, plus some users were having trouble with so many options available so I created this for all those who like to flash & test different kernels like me. I would like to dedicate this project of mine to my friend @ak for all the help and patience he has, he truly is a great dev and we owe him for some of the best kernels available for the Nexus 4.
So how this works is on every boot the script verifies all the tunables it finds specific for the kernel you have at the moment and generates the necessary files so it can be read & displayed on Synapse. Don't feel bad if you don't see all the listed options, it's just your kernel doesn't have those available.
In time I will be adding more scripts so we can have most, if not ALL tunables I can cram into. Hope you like it!

F.A.Q.
No UCI support detected? Check the following:
a) Does your ROM support init.d scripts?, IF it doesn't try this,
b) Check in /system/xbin if the uci file exists. IF it doesn't exists you can try reflashing the .zip or run the following in terminal emulator:
su
ln -s /data/N4UKM/uci /system/xbin/uci
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
c) Check the permissions of /system/xbin/uci AND /data/N4UKM/uci, it should be 755 or 777. IF it isn't you can try reflashing the .zip or run the following in terminal emulator:
su
chmod 755 /system/xbin/uci
chmod 755 /data/N4UKM/uci
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
d) Check the config.json file in /data/N4UKM/, if the file is blank you can try generating the file again with the following in terminal emulator:
su
uci reset
uci
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE WORKED FOR YOU send me a screenshot of your terminal emulator running the following command to determine your issue:
su
uci reset

Some steps to fix most common issues when coming from another kernel and UKM is still installed: (thanks to gorillap)
Step 1 - go to settings>Apps>Synapse - force close - Clear data - ReOpen Synapse
If this doesn't work
Step2 - go to settings>Apps>Synapse - force close - Clear data - Uninstall Synapse. Reinstall Synapse in play store
If this doesn't work
Step3 - go to settings>Apps>Synapse - force close - Clear data - Uninstall Synapse. Delete Synapse folder. Reboot to recovery. Reflash kernel, Reflash UKM. Install Synapse
If this doesn't work, request support in thread.
To use UKM on Lollipop just do this: (Thanks to thereal_bigjake)
1) Flash Permissive boot.img (thanks to ramjet73).
2) Install SELinux Mode Changer and set to permissive.
3) Install Synapse and flash UKM v3.5 or higher (you need busybox installed also)
4) Run a terminal after boot and type su, then type \system\etc\init.d\UKM
5) Enter Synapse and profit.
To restore a profile: (Thanks to apb_axel)
1) Save the profile to the /sdcard/Synapse/saved_profiles folder.
2) Open Synapse, go to profiles tab and press the Restart Synapse button (to make to profile appear).
3) Open Synapse, go to profiles tab and select the profile, click the √ and select Restore Selected Profile.
4) At this moment Synapse will close automatically so give it a few seconds and it will open automatically again.
5) When it opens, click the X button on top, not the √.
6) Done.
Restrictions on config files: (thanks to apb_axel)
1) You can't import settings that don't exist on your current kernel (this is fairly obvious so no explanation needed).
2) Some settings that are not imported/exported for privacy concerns are: buildprop net.hostname, buildprop service.adb.tcp.port.
3) You can't import/export the SELinux status, either Enforcing or Permissive (I've read that some people had issues when restoring profiles that were based on a KitKat ROM and when it was restored on a Lollipop ROM it broke their root, they had to reinstall everything from scratch so I prefer to avoid this at all costs).
4) You can't import/export the Preferred Network Mode (again some people have complained that restoring a profile where their carries have different settings had their phone stopped working).
5) You can't import/export voltage settings (Not every CPU is build the same, so to avoid device shutdown do to low voltages this is disabled).
6) You can't import/export sound settings (This is more of a personal setting and doesn't affect battery/performance).
7) You can't import/export speaker settings (This is more of a personal setting and doesn't affect battery/performance).
8) You can't import/export gamma settings (This is more of a personal setting and doesn't affect battery/performance).

Good work.
Glad to see that you took full advantage of the capabilities of the app. Also very happy to see that you took advantage of the notifiers for the global voltage slider in exactly the way that I intended them, although that I would have done the behaviour a bit different, but that's a choice of preference.
Let me know on Github on any wishes/comments/feedback.
Ideally in the future I was planning to do a sister-app which does a configuration-injection much like you do, but for global device compatibility, and self-contained. Sadly it's a lot of work and needs to be maintained, hope I can do it by this summer. Goal is to basically annihilate other apps such as Trickster and all other custom kernel configs apps.

Worked!! Thank you so much, its so awsome and first thing i did after, is uninstall trickster... still need to keep fauxclock for color presets but i hope it will come to this app the time passes... Also noticed that synapse boot failed toast massage, so will try restarting few times to see if set on boot works

I'm glad it worked for you. That synapse boot failed happens mainly the first time you boot up, it should go away on another reboot and let it set the auto settings or just apply any settings to dismiss it.

Yeah it happened to me once in my testing, couldn't reproduce it so i though it was a fluke. I'll take another look just in case.
It's not really a problem. At first, I was a bit disappointed, because I thought it didn't work. I'm glad I was mistaken.
Damn geart job man! Cannot wait for volume settings. Then I can get rid of trickstermod and have 1 app instead.

On a side note, on "ROM Description"(First tab) it says PARANOID3, but I use PARANOID4.(PA 4.3 Beta 1) Who cares about this, but I'm just saying.
Hi @apb_axel, thanks for your work
I have a little issue after flashing your script. Core 0 stays at high speed ( 1.5 Ghz ) and doesn't fall to lower frequency ( 162 in my case ), even if hotplug is enabled. I'm using Ondemand with the latest AK kernel.
EDIT : After a while I had this, see the screenshot.

The folks of paranoid android probably didn't update the build.prop file in the ROM, run this in terminal emulator and see what you get:
Code:
su
getprop ro.build.host
hello friends, today i want to share this GENIUS script+app, created by @apb_axel, with everybody in the Z section.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY WORK, ALL CREDIT'S GOES TO @apb_axel
So how this works is on every boot the script verifies all the tunables it finds specific for the kernel you have at the moment and generates the necessary files so it can be read & displayed on Synapse. Don't feel bad if you don't see all the listed options, it's just your kernel doesn't have those available.

This is my guide for my personal kernel settings for Gabriel Kernel. I call them the 'Autobots' configurations. They should also work on other kernels if the settings are there. My settings are based on getting best battery life possible with minimal lag. I have added a couple of performance setups too.
I hope these settings are useful.
See the bottom of this post for build.prop tweaks and my lower autobrightness MOD. Hopefully all of these together help boost your phones battery life!
Apply the AllSpark 'base' settings as well as a name specific config. The base settings are always used but do not include CPU or Governor tweaks, those are in the named settings, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz or Jetfire
See these great guides for Governors and Schedulers credit to gsstudios for the work!
Flashable init.d scripts for profiles/settings
Autobots Download Folder
AllSpark settings (Apply these first)
CPU
Max Freq - 1728mhz
Min Freq - 300mhz
Multicore Power Saving - Disabled (Tries to group processes into less cores if enabled, could save battery but I’m not convinced)
CPU Boost Interval - 0ms (Length of time boost is enabled, Negligible battery effect at low figures)
Sync Threshold - 1036mhz (Boosted to this freq on sync tasks, lower for better battery, but mid range is best)
Input Interval - 0ms (Length of time boost is enabled, Negligible battery effect at low figures)
Input Boost Freq - 1036mhz (Boosted to this freq on input detection, lower for better battery, but mid range is best)
CPU Voltage - Global -65 (lower for battery saving but too low will cause freezing and reboots)
CPU Hotplug - intelliplug (hotplug controls so many things, try different ones to see which is best for you)
Balanced Profile (better battery with conservative profile but will limit amount of cores used whcih can cause lag)
Touch Boost - Disabled
Hysteresis Value - 12 (the greater the value the more lag but also better battery)
Threshold Value - 722 (??)
CPU Max Screen Off Freq - 300mhz (limits the speed of CPU when screen is off, lower for battery, higher for gamers)
Thermal - Intellithermal - All stock values (thermald controls cpu temperatures)
GPU Governor - Simple ondemand
Max Freq - 578mhz

NOTE!
Always remember that everyone's usage is different. Even where you live and the strength of your phone signal, not to mention any other phone settings you might have play a drastic part in how long your phone battery will last.
I use my settings alongside @BuLLeT_93 GPU MOD (Not resolution MOD) Credit to him to for his settings as they helped me with mine. Check out his tweaks in Gabriel thread if you want to try another great config.

I don't think it's good idea to have cpu max on screen off so low... screen off doesn't mean it's idling.
Great settings, thanks very much! I tweaked it a bit, I'm going to test it and I will let you guys know how it goes then I will share my settings.
Thanks for sharing!

It's never been a problem for me though to be fair it depends what your usage is. These are just my settings. I get a full days usage with 6 hours screen on time with Ratchet and 4 hours on average with Bumblebee.

No worries. I'm more then happy to share. Doesn't make sense finding out some good settings and not sharing them with others.
My testings for new Ironhide settings is going well so far. It's so snappy but so far pretty decent battery life. It's based on ondemand. My old favourite.

I need some help with hotplug setting. What exactly do you mean by that:
"CPU Hotplug Either stock zzmove hotplug with both disabled or Intelliplug (both are great)"
On kernel auditor I get an MPDecision toggle and Intelliplug toggle.
And also we have a Gabriel kernel app installed on our devices. What do we have to choose exactly cause I am a bit confused with this setting.

With Gabriel Kernel there is an app installed along side the kernel call Gabriel Control. I you have that app installed then you have the version which uses zzmove hotplug as default hotplug. So if you want zzmove you disable both mp and intelli and if you don't want zzmove hotplug you need to disable it in Gabriel Control app. Hope this makes sense.

In Gabriel's kernel app I get three choices. 1) Disable... 2) 2 cores max 3) 3 cores max. What do I choose to have your setting. If I choose disable, then MPDecision toggles on, in kernel auditor and I toggle it off, and toggle on intelliplug.

I use zzmove hotplug and disable the others but if not then use intelliplug. I don't touch Gabrial Control app and leave zzmove hotplug as it is.
I have updated OP with new Ironhide config. It's still in testing but I thought why not share it as it is right now. It might well change though.
Im using Ratchet settings
for six hours now
5 hours, wifi on, screen off - stayed steady on 100%
great
1 hour of SOT of browsing in chrome - goes down to 90%
fabulous
only downside i noticed that when multiwindowed youtube and chrome
its get pretty hot pretty fast

This could be down to thermal, as I don't need to touch this for myself. Try tweaking that a little. Glad you're finding it's working well so far though
Recently I've been getting some really great battery life, so I thought I'd share my settings. The battery screenshots below are with medium usage, games, 3G(gifs, etc) and AcDisplay on(Proximity + Accelero)
ROM: SlimSaber 5.1.1 - I prefer this ROM because it's small in size, less ram usage, slim based, sabermod toolchain and has essential customizations. However I've got similar battery with CM12.1 snapshot.
Kernel: CM12 Decipher - This is the only kernel I've tried that's really stable with only needed features, + great performance and SOT.
Settings:
1) Use Debloater from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
2) Flash pico GApps/Slim ZeroGapps(No unnecessary services running)
3) Decrease animation scale/duration in Developer Options to 0.5x or 0.75x . This really makes the rom feel much snappier.
4) Use SlimLauncher, it's a really great launcher and a very small size, with low memory imprint. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/themes-apps/launcher-slimlp-launcher-1-0-t3187896
5) Use the back button to quit an app instead of the home button
Kernel Settings:
1)[MUST] Keep minimum freq at 787. Stock ROMS have the same min. freq as lower frequencies use around the same voltage, so you're keeping the cpu on for a longer time at a freq using same voltage. Also with 787 there's no lag whatsoever.!
2) Use zzmove/interactive/yankactive cpu governor. (Recommend zzmove)
3)Use IntelliPlug as the cpu hotplug. Touch Boost: ON. Profile: Balanced/Eco Performance
4) GPU Max Freq 533, governor adrenotz/simple-ondemand
Im on CM 12.1 last nightly with kernel Halogen R4
Settings:
No animations
Slim Launcher
Greenify
Kernel Settings:
CPU -
Min 300 - Max 1190 - IntelliMM Gov
Hotplug -
IntelliPlug - Conservative - Touch Boost Off - Max freq screen off 787
Thermal -
IntelliThermal - Reg freq 80° - Reg core 85°
I/O -
fiops(both) 128
Virtual Memory -
Dirty Ratio 50 - Dirty Background Ratio 40 - Dirty Expire Centisecs 1200 - Dirty Writeback Centisecs 2500 - Min Free Kbytes 3072 - Overcommit Ratio 100 - Swappiness 40 - vfs cache pressure 50}

Kernel Special Features: focused on stability and battery
Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: Último
Stable Release Date: 2020-11-15
Created 2018-06-28
Last Updated 2020-11-14
starting from el octavo a balanced profile is included in the ramdisk by default.
if you want to override it use any app like Ex kernel manager or darkness or you could extract the zip, edit the profile script and zip it again and flash it
you can find some custom profiles in Ken's channel
and as from the beginning, the main focus was never gaming cuz games are a waste of time. if you want to game try and if you don't get the experience you expected to modify the settings, just don't expect me to make any gaming specific changes.
for normal folks, the default profile is as stable and efficient as it could ever get
To apply a profile import it in Darkness Control Profile Manager, also don't forget to set it to apply on boot
Download Darkness Control
Download Old Profiles (Dont use old profiles with new releases )
Balanced: Good for daily casual usage
Electron: same as balanced but with electron governor which I find more stable
Power saving electron: underclocked and balanced electron for a more battery saving approach
Changelog:
Último 13/11/2020:
• Supports Android 11
• Upstream to latest Linux kernel tag
• Upstream wireguard to the latest release
• Fix Ramdisk overlay not applying

- Any Android 8.x or 9.x ROM, except MIUI
Why no overclocking?
- I don't find it useful for the profile this kernel is following which is stability and battery backup above all, if you want to overclock use LH, genom or zucc kernels
Why no spectrum support?
- it's an unnecessary gimmick, those darkness control profiles do the same configs and have a lot more options
Why all the cores are running all the time?
- turn on AutoSMP from hotplug section in darkness control
which profile should I use?
- any electron profile should be better than interactive because electron governor handles frequency scaling a lot better than interactive
So Dammnn Goodd
i use your Rom always. now match with this. thanx
Can we use this kernel with Miui base ROM?

It is best for battery .
Performance is okay.
Stability is prfct.
It is best it only uses those CPU which is needed like if you are doing multitasking a lot then it will wakeup other CPUs but while the phone is asleep it only keeps 1-2 CPU up , that's y its best for battery
Hey @blacksuan19 can u make a kernel with nethunter support.. that include all wifi, hid external adapter patches. Since there is no nethunter kernel based for vince so.. plz. Make a nethunter supported build
