Wakey! Wakey! You're all too slow to catch a cold! ;)

ktoonsez kernels for 4.3, 4.4.*, for Touchwiz, AOSP and Google Edition, ROMs, updated! :)

"Change Log 04.17.2014
1. Ktoonsez CRAZY BIRTHDAY EDITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. KTweaker 6.8
3. Made Fast Charge Widget size based on left side alignment so people that want a 1x1 widget of FC can do that (by request from someone)
4. 20+ new parameteres for Ktoonservativeq. I went a little crazy with it but you are going to love it!!!!!!!!!!!
5. WARNING!!!!!!!!!!! All the rest of these are going to require you to check and maybe set some of your ktoonservativeq governor settings from scratch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did the best I can at converting them to the new names but can account for every old version of the Profile files. So write down your settings before flashing so you can manually set them up with the new names.
6. Ktoonservativeq: Renamed all up_threshold and down_threshold items to have a version for screen on and off. So all 8 items turned into 16 items no so you have total control for screen on and seperate control for screen off.
7. Ktoonservativeq: Changed all parameters that said hotplugging into hotplug to shorten the names.
8. Ktoonservativeq: Rename all the block parameters to more commonized names. New item names are as follows. block_cycles_online = blocking cycles before letting a CPU come online. block_cycles_offline = blocking cycles before letting a CPU go offline. block_cycles_raise = blocking cycles before letting the CPU raise the Mhz.
9. Ktoonservativeq: All of the block parameters from item 5 have a screen on and scree off option.
10. Ktoonservativeq: Renamed freq_step to have a screen on and off option plus seperate values for the raise and lowering of the CPU Mhz.
11. Ktoonservativeq: lockout_2nd_core_hotplug, lockout_3rd_core_hotplug and lockout_4th_core_hotplug all have a screen on and screen off option.
12. Ktoonservativeq: Renamed sync_extra_cores parameter to have screen on and off options
13. Ktoonservativeq: Renamed boost_2nd_core_on_button, boost_3rd_core_on_button and boost_4th_core_on_button to have screen on and off options.
14. KTweaker Shop: Now when you select Profiles or Scripts, it will come up with a sub screen that lets you choose from All Profiles/Scripts, ONLY Conservative Profiles/Scripts, ONLY Balanced Profiles/Scripts, or ONLY Performance Profiles/Scripts. Thanks to @CamFlawless for creating the type list for me.
15. Added Ktoonsified v6 to KTweaker Shop.
16. Update the server for KTweaker Shop to support the 3 types of profiles now.
17. Update a bunch of profiles to the server for KTweaker Shop, BIG thanks to @LuigiBull23 for helping me update all the files for the server.
18. LED: Boost cores on LED calls to help incoming calls and unplug-plug charger turn screen on quicker.
19. Make call_in_progress a global variable so we have access to its status in more places. Use the call_in_progress in ktoonservativeq to block super_conservative so phone calls r smoother
20. Remove loki on PC side and use loki scripting in flash zip
21. F2FS: add support for F2FS so people that want to run it can. THIS ONLY WORKS TO AOSP4.4 SO FAR!!!!!!!!! All kernels will come with standard ext4 as default, people that want F2FS will have to do the instructions from Post #3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
22. F2FS: See Post #3 for a download link and a set of instructions to convert to F2FS.
23. Post #3 updated with my latest settings and fixed the screen names for each setting.
24. Flashable kernel zip now do the loki'ing when it is needed for ATT and VZW and also determine your file system to know whether to flash F2FS or ext4 ramdisk.
25. For those that use TWRP and want to try mine, you can download it here (Normal ext4 version, not for people that format to F2FS): http://goo.gl/jwMSEn. It seems to have gotten rid of the boot hang that some people get with official 2.7.0.1."

Getting distortion when playing mp3 files. I remember in past similar problems were related to the kernel.....anyone know of any tweaks in ktweaker that may help here.....or any other kernel suggestions for ge kk rom.
 
By distortion do you mean drop-outs?
If so you're probably using ktoonsevativeq. If so either set disable-hotplug=1 or use ondemand/interactive

Same ROM and kernel as you Syd... although, I do use PowerAmp for my music, and no problems here mate. My profile, Misanthrope, which uses the newly re-tweaked ktoonservativeq governor, is behaving very well. Try another governor if you are using ktoonservativeq or, for other kernels, I believe Hawker has had some success with faux and I think, Adam. You could always revert back to the previous KT release to see if it persists.
 
Cheers guys, have swapped to alucard and perfect on there....also tons of extra options on stweaks so might play with this for a bit

But will at some point go back and try your suggestions on kt kernel again, as was indeed using the ktoonzervativeq governor
 
Thanks guys, fine on kt back on intellidemand. Just shows that different governors do make a difference!
 
Wakey! Wakey!



ktoonsez kernels for 4.3, 4.4.*, for Touchwiz, AOSP and Google Edition, ROMs, updated! :)

"Change Log 04.19.2014
1. ktoonservativeq: Optimized new block_cycle code that was causing slow issues for some
2. Updated Ktoonserified v6, so be sure to redownload it to work with todays kernel
3. Updated KTGaming profi.e, so be sure to redownload it to work with todays kernel
4. Probably the fastest version of ktoonservativeq to date
5. Guys on 04.18 test kernel from yesterday, there is no change but might as well update so you are the newest dated file.
6. KTweaker 6.9
7. KTweaker: Added new sub screen when picking ktoonservativeq "Gov Adjustments" screen to give you the choice to show "All Parameters", "ONLY Screen ON parameters", "ONLY Screen OFF parameters" to make it easier to see only the parameters you want to see. Thanks @elesbb for the idea
8. Linux 3.4.87.
9. I was unable to reproduce the inability to download scripts, but I made a change and 2 people have told me it doesnt do that anymore with 6.9 so I think I got it fixed.
10. Updated TWRP for normal EXT4 format with 20 upstream updates and updated curtain image thanks to @9Lukas5, link is here http://goo.gl/jwMSEn
11. Updated TWRP for normal F2FS format with 20 upstream updates and updated curtain image thanks to @9Lukas5, link is here http://goo.gl/Zw1akJ"

Huge improvements on ktcoonservativeq here compared to the previous release.
Just ensure you redownload ktv6 profile if you use it

Do these improvements also solve the distortions and drop-outs Sydney99 mentions? I'm having those too and thought these were caused because I dropped my phone (:()

It was the ktoonzservativeq governor that was causing this for me. It stopped completely on switching to intellidemand gov.

no problems on latest kernel with sound, although still on intellidemand, so sorry, cannot say if hawkers suggestion above has things working with ktoonzservativeq
 
Mmm, I'll give it a try then. And if it doesn't work, I'll try your option. Not sure if I already know how to change governers but I bet it isn't THAT difficult ;)
 
Thanks!

Like I thought, it isn't all that difficult. Even I can do that :D

Who? Me? You sure?

But seriously: As I said when I returned here after I got my S4: it's one of the main reasons for getting the S4 over the Sony or HTC. Love the way you people 'talk' to each other!
 
Hello! Is anyone still out there? :dontknow:

ktoonsez kernels for 4.3, 4.4.*, for Touchwiz, AOSP and Google Edition, ROMs, updated! :)

"Change Log 04.28.2014
1. Linux 3.4.88
2. Now compiling with Linaro 4.9.1 a-15 optimized from @Christopher83
3. Updated kernel flash routine to detect F2FS partitions and include the appropriate fstab so it works with /data and /cache or /data and /cache and /system
4. Updated KT-TWRP.F2FS and KT-TWRP.EXT4 to have one common recovery binary, during flash uses same algorythm as kernel flash zip to use the proper fstab.
5. KTweaker 7.0
6. Under "Tools" screen added "F2FS: Convert ROM ZIP option". To use it, click that option, it opens a KT File Explorer, navigate to the folder where your zip files is, click the ROM zip file that needs converting and it will create a second file with the same exact name except adds a -F2FS to the end. A little hint, instead of using the back button once you are done converting, press the menu button and select close and KTweaker will remember that folder and take you right back the next time you go back in. It takes around 1:45 to do it my phone running ktoonsified v6, other profiles may take longer and if you are converting from external SD it may take longer depending on the quality of your SD.

Still having problems with distorted sound coming not only through the earphones, also the the speaker is making these afwul noises...

Tried fiddling with different governors and scripts, but to no avail. Could it be the combination of ROM and Kernel?

You could try installing ViPER4Android FX v2.3.3.0, (use the ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x.apk that comes in the download), by carefully following the instructions in post #2 of the thread. This allows you to alter and modify your audio via speakers, bluetooth and headset and has improved the sound quality on my phone beyond even that which PowerAmp offered.



(Special mention to Hawker who nagged me to try this. :five:)

I read that you had solved your distortion problems with this one, so I tried this as soon as I read that. But although I noticed a slight improvement, it did not solve the problem.

ktoonsez kernel for 4.4.*, for AOSP ROMs, updated! :)

"Change Log 05.05.2014
1. Mostly a TWRP update on todays release
2. Modified TWRP to do ext4 or F2FS on the fly based on "Settings" screen to reduce problems, no more need for flashing format zips like before, and no more rebooting in and out of recovery.
3. When you change the "Settings" you will notice that the name at the top will change according to your settings. EXT4 for ext4 formatting, F2FS for F2FS on data and cache, and F2FS+S for data, cache, and system.
4. Under "Settings" screen in TWRP you will see a new option called "Force data and cache wipe functions to use F2FS". When checked it will force wipes on the cache and data partitions to format it F2FS, unchecked forces to ext4.
5. Under "Settings" screen in TWRP you will see a new option called "Include system partition." When checked it will force wipes on system partitions to format it F2FS, unchecked forces to ext4.
6. KTweaker: New option under "Tools" screen called "Get Partition info" so you can check the format of the 3 partitions.
7. Since I made the new TWRP, I modified the ramdisk back to my original testing code to load the partitions based on there format. Since it does this, you will have to use KTweaker now to verify if you did indeed format everything properly using the new option from #6 above.
8. Link to newest TWRP-ALL-IN-1: http://goo.gl/xl5VwI
9. Link to newest F2FS folder (updated instructions in the folder, moved all the old stuff to the "OLD WAY" folder): Index of /sgs4/F2FS"

1. KTweaker 7.1 (this is just an update for my S3 guys, nothing new for S4)
2. sched: set mc_power_savings=2 this feature packs tasks together and try to bind them to cpu0, which in theory will let cpu1 idle longer, thus improving battery life.
3. kernel:sched: LOAD_FREQ (4*HZ+61) avoids loadavg Moire
4. smp: patches from mainline 3.5 to hopefully help with hotplug efficiency

Did you resolve this? Just noticed still having this problem, only with music stored on device, have been merrily changing settings in ktweaker without success.
 
Yep, I solved it. By flashing Djembey... Like you, I kept fiddling with settings in KTweaker, bu with no result. I even had it while streaming :( So I finally decided to try another rom. And I've been listening to undistorted music ever since ;)

But having used a GE rom once, I keep wanting to have it back. Any suggestions?
 
Hawker mentioned about a profile for ktweaker to download.........can't find where to download it, hopefully the Welsh wizard will leave the sheep alone for a few minutes and point me in the right direction.....
