[Verizon] [KERNEL][4.0.4] LeanKernel 3.10.0 (7/2)

So I am currently running the latest version, 12.4, of LeanTweaks. Anytime I flash an update of LeanKernel I simply flash the latest version of LeanTweaks afterward.

Then it is onto terminal after reboot.

1. Open terminal.

2. Type su

3. Type lt

Now I have my settings backed up using LeanTweaks' backup function, so I just restore and reboot.

HERE ARE MY SETTINGS:

4. Change governor at boot to your liking if you choose. I have no problems, ever, with InteractiveX so I choose it.

5. Set scaling at boot, again, if you have min/max speeds that you know don't cause you trouble. I use the standard 350/1200.

THE NEXT SET OF TWEAKS MAY CALL FOR A REBOOT. I DO NOT REBOOT UNTIL I AM DONE ENABLING ALL TWEAKS.

6. I enable Rwap, to increase memory (RAM).

7. I enable Zram tweak though I can't remember why (lol).

8. I enable SD Card Speed Up for faster card reads.

9. I enable File System Speed Up for faster file system reads.

OTHER OPTIONS

10. With IX governor it has a built in gohighspeed module that when your CPU reaches a certain load value, it will move to higher speeds quicker and is useful to maintain performance and is seen as a savings to battery life as your CPU spends less time going between speed slots. Default for LeanKernel is 80. Default for stock kernel is 95. I keep it at 80.

11. I don't undervolt as this kernel is slightly undervolted by default. Options exist to do so with LeanTweaks.

12. Aggressiveminfree is a tweak which changes the set value for the minimum amount of memory allowed at any given time. I don't mess with it as I think the stock value manages memory well when swap is enabled.

13. After setting up your tweaks, backup these settings so your process becomes a simple restore from within LeanTweaks.

14. Reboot.

15. Open up terminal and get back into LeanTweaks to double check that all is enabled. Do this by choosing the Check Kernel Menu, then choosing Check All Kernel Stats!

There are other tweaks I haven't covered like, for example, fast charge. If more people want to know what's up with other tweaks, I will see about turning this post into a guide thread. Post a thanks or response if that is something you want.

Thanks y'all.

Hope this helped and have fun. Be sure to nandroid before you start doing anything, just to be on the safe side.

BTW, if anyone sees any error in what I have written, feel free to correct me :).

Edit: The settings I use are what I wrote in the numerical guide listed above. I derived that setup from trying various configurations, most based on recommendations from threads here, rootz and xda. It also stems from reading the OP on rootz and Googling the terms and features I did not understand. Lastly, it all comes down to real world performance and what you are looking to get out if a kernel. My need is simple: stability and optimized battery life. LeanKernel and LeanTweaks provide that. I dig that!
 
I'm currently running 2.8.0 stable. Just for the heck of it, I went into better battery stats and saw a lot of counts for NFC under kernel wakelocks even though I have it disabled. Sorry if it has been answered before, but does anyone know if this is normal?
 
I know I only just installed 3.0.0 but this already seems like a milestone update. My phone has always been silky smooth, this takes it to a new level. I've been sitting here just doing transitions from page to page (cube, of course) and marveling at how zero lag it is.

If anyone is on the fence about updating your kernel, this is the one to push you off the fence :D

WELL DONE and thank you!!!

Whats the ROM you're on?
 
OK, you guys and girls are killing me...lol I want to try this out. D/l'd and md5 checked ok. Do I push this to the cache like I did with the leaked 4.0.4 update? Aside from that I am completely stock. Do I have to rename it? AND, most importantly....Wallet. What can I do to protect the secure element before I try this? You ppl are almost as insane as I am! lmao. Or as I like to call it; idiosyncrasies... they're mine, all mine...lol
Seriously, any assistance is greatly appreciated

Just reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik (dalvik is under advanced), install kernel from sd card, and reboot. Shouldn't affect Wallet at all, you're not wiping any data or anything.
 
cant get wireless tether 3.1beta 11 to work with leankernel 3.0. it activates but computer doesnt see it. tether worked in the past....anyone else...?

I used to fight with that until I tried the phones built in WAP. No worries now.

Chopper the dog sends this lock screen icon size reduction mod if any one is interested. I like it. Just make a nandroid first in case you do not.

Here is the after shot
