This is a minimalistic Thunderbolt kernel based on the HTC Incredible S source (vivo-2.6.35.9), then upgraded to 2.6.35.13. Some of the code is backported from latest linux (2.6.39). See FEATURES section for more details on how awesome this is.
SENSE - ALL FROYO ROMS
1) lean: stripped down and minimalistic. undervolt/overclock/slots are now controlled by the "speedtweak.sh" script (more info below)
2) special edition: slightly less lean. Supports in-call recording, and TUN. "speedtweak.sh" script also available.
3) 184Mhz: lean version with 184Mhz enabled (but locked by default). You may experience battery drain or overheat when you unlock the slot.
SENSE KERNEL DOWNLOADS (ALL ROMS EXCEPT CM7):
1) lean, 2) special edition, 3) 184Mhz
speedtweak.sh
This script will allow you to "transform" your kernel into normal, extreme, 1.92, 1.92X and battsaver versions (ie. it allows you to control speed, voltage, and slots to a certain degree). Once you run the script, everything will be self-explanatory. To run the script:
1) Open Terminal Emulator (install it from market if you don't have it).
2) Type "su" (without quotes) and hit enter.
3) Type "speedtweak.sh" (without quotes) and hit enter.

------------------------------_
1) normal: undervolted, overclocked to 1.41Ghz
2) extreme: extremely undervolted, overclocked to 1.41Ghz
3) 1.92: undervolted, overclocked to 1.92Ghz
4) 1.92X: extremely undervolted, overclocked to 1.92Ghz

speedtweak.sh and SetCPU
The risk of running setcpu is that it can inadvertently override the min and the max that were set by the speedtweak script. (oh it can also override the governor setting but that's not as bad). Other than that it's pretty harmless - it can't mess with the voltage settings. So if you're going to use SetCPU, keep this in mind. One way to make this work is to use SetCPU to configure governor and min/max, and use speedtweak.sh to configure voltage settings. Or just don't use SetCPU.
FEATURES
Linux Kernel v2.6.35.13. This is many revisions newer than the stock tbolt linux kernel. Majority of kernel code such as memory management, file systems, network, kernel base, etc were mostly completely re-written and are either identical or very similar to latest linux kernel (2.6.39).
speedtweak.sh script to adjust clock frequencies and voltages.
Completely reworked on-demand governor (backported from linux-2.6.39-rc2) for better performance and power efficiency.
Heavily modified/optimized smartass code (based on erasmux's latest git).
InteractiveX and ondemandX governors! Added my own suspend code to interactive and ondemand code to make the phone lock at low clock speed when screen is off. No need for sleep setcpu profile anymore.
For 1.92Ghz builds, interactiveX and smartass governors were modified to minimize unnecessary spikes above 1.8Ghz to keep phone stable.
My kernel tweaks directly applied to kernel and ramdisk via code changes. ie. vm, minfree, etc. No more sysctl and init.d shenanigans!
No EXT2, TUN, FUSE, YAFFS/2, etc. Stripped down and lean!
backported 2.6.35 wifi driver which includes low power mode! (idle wifi consumes 50% of power than stock wifi driver). Sense only.
low # (5-10) of cpufreq slots for simple management and less governer transitions.
Undervolted *drastically* for longer battery life.
SWAP and EXT4 enabled.
Increased readahead buffer.
init.d enabled in ramdisk
filesystem speedup in ramdisk
.. a few other small optimizations
BATTERY SAVING TIPS
1) Install one of my kernels, 2) Stay on WIFI as long as possible (ie. avoid 3g/4g as much as possible).
CHANGELOGS (SENSE)
v0.1 - initial beta release (testers are welcome!)
v0.2 - fixed quadrant/linpack scores! (apparently my own overclocking code was kinda lame - borrowed code from richardtrip for now - more changes in the future).
v0.3 - added MD back in (needed for a2sd), undervolted the crap out of it especially lowest frequency which is where your phone spends most of its time, added /tmp tmpfs support, disabled install-recovery so init.d scripts don't run twice.
v0.4 - removed YAFFS/2 (shaved off 2Kbytes), added 460800 clock speed, removed powersave governor.
v0.5 - increased readahead buffer to 1024KB (should improve I/O, especially for sdcard), created lame and 1.92Ghz versions.
v0.6 - Reworked on-demand governor, backported from linux-2.6.39-rc2, which includes massive amount of improvements and fixes.
v0.7 - Added 122880 at 550 VDD for extended battery life. Went back to my own overclock code (for the most part) without losing speed.
v0.71 - fixed a bug preventing the 1.92 version from booting. Cleaned up some overclock code and adjusted VDD a bit on some of the clock speeds. Changed file names which make better sense now.
v0.72 (extreme version only) - got rid of 123Mhz. good riddance! Undervolted some more.
v0.72 (1.92) - fudged around the VDD to stabilize it for difficult phones.
v0.8 - Implemented smartass governor (based on erasmux's latest, optimized code for my kernel), reworked conservative governor (backported from latest linux source), added 1.79Ghz slot for 1.92 version, removed EXT4 until I have a reliable way to convert filesystems, brought back LOGGER until i'm done debugging stuff, more VDD tweaks, and filesystem speedups in ramdisk.
v0.85 - reworked overclock code, tweaked VDD some more to stabilize. added audio & battery tweaks from adrynalyne per popular requests
v0.9 (4/13/11) - removed profiling for extra speed, reworked slab allocator (backported from 2.6.39-rc2), backported 2.6.35 wifi driver (low power mode!), added battsaver version, optimized the heck out of smartass for power efficiency, disabled a couple of debug stuff for smaller kernel, removed performance governor.
v0.92 (4/14/11) - fixed smartass performance (should be close to ondemand now), changed default i/o scheduler to noop and removed other i/o schedulers (even leaner!)
v1.0 (4/15/11) - introducing interactiveX governor (interactive + my own suspend code), heavily optimized smartass code (again), undervolted 1.92X a little more at the top end, removed conservative governor, made interactiveX default, went back to deadline i/o scheduler (was causing issues with 1.92 overclock).
v1.1 (4/18/11) - ondemandX governor (ondemand + my own suspend code to keep phone under 369Mhz when screen is off), modified interactiveX and smartass governors to prevent unnecessary spikes over 1.8Ghz to stabilize my 1.92 builds, extreme/1.92X/battsaver now all share the same VDDs at and below 1024Mhz, OC/UV code re-written again to smooth out transitions and reduce random reboots, and added one more slot to 1.92 builds.
v1.11 (4/19/11) - fixed smartass to suspend properly (ONLY NEED TO UPDATE IF YOU'RE USING SMARTASS).
v1.2.3 (4/27/11) - fixed 1Ghz speed, removed more unnecessary components for leaner kernel, GPU+ patch from CM.
v2.0.0 (5/5/11) - brand new kernel base (2.6.35) - mostly new code. Extreme,battsaver, and 1.92X have an extra slot at 184Mhz/650VDD for better battery life.
v2.0.1 (5/5/11) - extreme, 1.92X and battsaver only. Fixed lowest clock undervolting.
v2.1.0 (5/6/11) - 184Mhz battery draining fixed, flashlight brightness fixed, EXT4 enabled
v2.1.1 (5/8/11) - 184Mhz slot disabled by default (use the enable_lowslot.zip to re-enable it), filesystem speedup in ramdisk, full kernel version names.
v2.2.0 (5/8/11) - revamped governors to possibly improve battery life while on 3g/4g (fingers crossed), brought back readahead buffer tweak from my mecha kernels.
v2.4 (5/10/11) - combined all my kernel flavors into one, speed/voltage can be controlled by speedtweak.sh script, added vdd_levels support (code from snq- via adrenalyn's git), kernel upgraded to 2.6.35.13.
v2.4.1 (5/11/11) - enhanced speedtweak.sh to include governors and show current mode. EXT4 mounting is now enabled for EXT3 partitions. Temporarily added a 246Mhz version until I get in touch with setcpu folks.
v2.4.2 (5/11/11) - fixed 184Mhz (sorry about that)
v2.4.3 (5/11/11) - fixed speedtweak settings not sticking at reboot (sorry about that!!)
v2.4.4 (5/12/11) - made a tiny change to speedtweak script to require you to hit enter before the screen loops back. Purely aesthetics - optional upgrade.
v2.4.6 (5/12/11) - reverted to EXT3, EXT4 was killing quandrant scores. Will bring back EXT4 after more testing.
v2.5 (5/14/11) - reworked interactiveX for better performance and power efficiency, removed 184Mhz from lean version, created a separate 184Mhz version, enhanced speedtweak script (added time-in-state), enhanced filesystem mount options for speed.
v2.5.1 (5/16/11) - reverted interactiveX wake speed, added a setcpu friendly option to speedtweak.sh.
v2.6.0 (6/5/11) - in-call recording added by default, overclock code reworked, interactive/smartass governor tweaked, speedtweak.sh script enhanced.
DIRECTIONS
Uh.... flash the zip in clockworkmod. No need to wipe anything.
GOVERNORS
First, my take on the governors that are out there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13020648&postcount=617
I offer three governors: interactiveX, ondemandX, and smartass. What are they?
interactiveX - it's the interactive governor from CM, but I added suspend/wake logic so when the phone screen is off it runs at 246Mhz. Also, I modified its code some more to minimize unnecessary cpu spikes above 1.8Ghz if you happen to be running one of my 1.92 kernels. Most tbolts are unstable above 1.8Ghz, and it's the quick jump above 1.8Ghz that usually locks up the phone. It will hit 1.92Ghz only when it makes sense (ie. sustained high load). This is my favorite governor - perfect combination of speed and power efficiency.
ondemandX - ondemand governor code from latest linux source *plus* the suspend/wake logic described above, except it has the ability to ramp to 369Mhz while screen is off. No additional code was added for stabilizing above 1.8Ghz.
smartass - smartass code from erasmux, but I wasn't happy with its performance so I tuned it for quicker ramp up in speed. It has the same suspend/wake logic as ondemandX, and the same >1.8Ghz stabilizing mod as interactiveX.
FAQ
1) Why 1.41Ghz? - my kernel's 1.41 runs very close to stock voltage at 1Ghz, and with the other frequencies undervolted you should realize longer battery life. If you go any higher, you're going to experience poor battery life since you need to use more juice to support higher frequency. Plus most of you probably can't tell the difference between 1.4 and 1.8.
2) Why release so often? - I try to minimize # of changes to at most 2-3 per release so we can easily pinpoint any benefits or harm my code changes or tweaks made.
3) What is enable_swap.zip and why do i need it? - Flashing the zip will create a 200MB swap file (at next boot) and activate the swapfile on every boot. Completely optional. Read more about it here.

I'll b testing tonight will report in the morning thanks!
Sounds amazing. Will flash ASAP!
i will test too!
flashing now...
Cool let me know how it goes guys. I come from the Linux server world and hope to bring some fresh approaches to the already established/mature android kernel scene.
will this override your tweaks or do nothing since they're already on the phone? i've had em installed since you posted em..
Just for clarification, when you say no "LOGGER", this is something separate from what is used to generate the system logs to produce a logcat right?

So my tweaks zip becomes redundant, more or less. You no longer need them.
cool, gonna run this for a day and report back. quadrant is way down, but the phone feels just as snappy...any chance of adding something around 400 to use as a min setting?

LOGGER = logcat. If you're an advanced user, i think dmesg might be good enough for some troubleshooting. If there's enough demand for logcat, i can release another kernel called SlightlyLessLeanKernel.
Thanks for the kernel. I will definitely try this out and report back with comments.
Is there a preferred governor we should use? I assume on-demand but wanted to know if this has been tweaked for smartass?
Kernel is functional on Virus rom, however, regardless of the battery savings the quadrants were too low for my tastes. 1741, 1856, and 1912. I could achieve 1800 on my dinc. I am more about performance, I don't know if there is further tweaking but I could achieve over 2000 easily with bamf's 1.2G OC kernel. Don't know about longevity of battery life and won't know, but bluetooth, internet, and wifi are all functional. Thanks for your efforts.

It won't make any difference at all.
I'll try the kernel out tomorrow and let you know how it goes ... thanks for posting this.
Once a couple people have tried this and reported, will probably give it a try. I like the different approach toward things.
Look forward to reading more!

hmmm quadrant and linpack scores do concern me a little. I'm going to remove the autogroup scheduler tomorrow and do a comparison between the two. Thanks for testing guys!
Quadrant indeed is quite low, 1967 at 1408/1408 performance. FPS is very low @ 17fps and I/O score is about 1/2 what I've seen on the bamf kernel
lets golf and raging thunder 2 both play great, and like I mentioned, the phone still feels quick and snappy @ 1408/768 ondemand..i'll check the battery life out tomorrow once I get it fully charged.

Hehe, i'm going to add "SLOW" to the list of features on the OP. Actually i think i know what the problem is. Will have a fix soon... (or tomorrow since it's bedtime for me).
Ok, v0.2 is up in OP. Please test again! I think this fixes benchmark app scores. I don't use Quadrant but Linpack scores improved. Ok going to bed now.

Now this came out of the blue rigth when I am about to test Darky 8.1 and Serendipty 3.5 so I guess I would give this one a shot first!
Do you have that Wifi fix applied here?
Also, any problem using a different modem?
Thanks!
Why now when I have 11% battery.... Guess I'll flash tomorrow and possibly see if any bugs arise. This looks fantastic though.

I am getting ready to flash...love tryng a new kernel that is not too far from my normal 1344 overclock...maybe I can convince him to give it one or two more steps so I can still do 1344 with his kernel
Does this ROM have the 4 lockscreen options?
cant wait to see the reviews looks amazing. sticking with darky for right now loving the 2.3.1 bugger is fast smooth and so far great battery life. might be willing to give this a try though
The moment you start to get comfortable with a rom, and BAM!- something new and shiny comes along. And the endless spiral of reflashing continues... lol.
always interested in trying a new kernel..thats usually where the 'good' stuff can be found
any way we might get a full list of whats in the kernel besides the OC? Im a bit of a stickler and since i know what all the optimizations are after countless nights of reading i like knowing what people have included in their kernels.
ROM looks awesome will give it a go when my battery is fully charged
I loved your last rom, so I can't wait.

Now this came out of the blue rigth when I am about to test Darky 8.1 and Serendipty 3.5 so I guess I would give this one a shot first!
Do you have that Wifi fix applied here?
Also, any problem using a different modem?
Thanks!

It is using the wifi fix. No problem using a different modem. Feel free to use whatever works best for you. JK4 just works best for me.

Don't you LOVE it when that happens, too many ROM's not enough Cappy's
Looks really nice from the screens. Congrats on your ROM! I'll give it a run and get you some feedback when I have a moment to flash it

I'll be making a new post for the kernel in the morning. I'm too tired right now, but basically it's a tweaked speedmod k12k kernel with OC/UV. Details will be in the kernel post.
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:

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:

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.

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

Primero:
=> initial release
Which ROM can use this?
- 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?

So far superb battery performance
What does "Adreno ilder" do? Googling around comes up with nothing
What is the best setup for this kernel? Thankss

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
