Root [Kernel] MARQUEE UNLEASHED 3D performance booster v3.2.1 (7/18/12)

[ndno]

You guys are crazy. You know the old saying: "Speed kills!!!!"

I'll need to create a new kernel and unclock/undervolt to offset this 3D stuff. Maybe a 300,400,600,800.

For the crazy, I may try to do a 1.5GHz version

 

[Craptorman]

new personal best on a class 4 sdcard.

You better put that thing on the charger.

Wow, a simple small change in the ramdisk (init.rc) was all it took to get the 3d boost working:

#imfm
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/turn_on_lg_dvfs 1
#imfm

LOL, I saw some "lg_dvfs" code in the kernel when I was working on the overclock... never knew what it was for; maybe I can go back and see what it really means now.

LOL, I saw the "lg_dvfs" code all over the place in the clock/frequency modules in the kernel when I was working on the overclock... never knew what it was for; maybe I can go back and see what it really means now.

crazy, huh?

My score unplugged with v3:

Having a class 10 16GB card does help.

EDIT: Noticed Monster only has a 30 point or so advantage over me in the CPU scores despite having the 1.3ghz version. (I have the 1.2Ghz version) The float point values also show little difference. Perhaps rethink having the 1.3ghz kernel? The possible stability issues with 1.3Ghz is less worth it now that I see what the difference is in the benchmarks..

Yep, great investigative work by imfm; I would still be chasing it

Do you know if there's been work on the LG Optimus Black (P970) to optimize/tweak/improve its kernel ? If so, when I have some time, I can look at the changes on that kernel and port them over to ours.

I'll take a gander

Wow, that looks complicated; lots of features; can't seem to find a link to the source.

See the link above.

in the first post you updated v3 to say that you fixed the 3g problems so should we still check out the link?

and just to confirm i try the right one...it's the 3g TURBOcharger right? not the supercharger one that is also posted?

edit: also, not much experience with setting profiles. what is a good temperature to start underclocking at? (i'm assuming 1200 down to 800 is good enough?) don't want my battery and phone melting from these blazing speeds!

 

[tombob]

Great work imfm, I broke 3000 not plugged in using version 3 @ 1.2.

 

[leroydroid]

awesome! v3@1.2

Right, turbocharger. I recommend you install it.

As far as temp goes, not sure what the best setting is. I just used the default which was 50 degrees Celsius

Here's a 1GHz stock speed version, undervolted by 100mV with the 3D Boost:
https://www.box.com/s/ba7c225e668809d9ab14
Frequencies: 300, 600, 800, 1000 MHz

Score is only 2533 for me but it's still smooth and snappy as butta. I'm using it because it gives me great battery life; most of the times, my phone is using less than 80mA with this version.

Maybe not ideal for gamers; I don't play games I just watch NetFlix, YouTube, and SlingBox

battery is more important to me than max performance. thank you!

I am wondering what the difference is in the kernel.. Since the 3d Graphics Boost does not include the Hyper Kernel. I switched today from the OCK 1.2 w/ Hyper Kernel v2 to the 3D Boost 1.2GHz which removes the Hyper Kernel I am guessing, since I no longer see the Hyper Kernel Screen when booting up connected to a charger. Basically just wondering if there was a way to have all three so to speak, the Hyper Kernel w/ OC 1.2 and the 3D Boost.. Thanks in Advanced guys!

the OC kernel uses the Hyper Kernel RAMDISK, the init.rc in the ramdisk has one line added to it for 3D boost. Hence its still blood's hyper ramdisk/ndno oc uv zimage/imfm 3D boost

@ndno ,

I tried installing your latest kernel, but it broke wifi (tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions). Wifi just keeps showing "error". Flashing back to 1.1 fixed the problem. 1.1 has been the only stable kernel for me (it's outstanding and rock solid). I'm on stock ROM other than swapping out the kernel.

@imfm ,

I don't know if it was coincidental, but when I tried flashing v 3_1, my SD card got messed up. I first noticed something was wrong when I tried running the antutu benchmark and it just hung on the SD card portion. After aborting, I discovered upon rebooting that the phone would perpetually "checking for errors". I reformatted, got everything working, and tried again. Same result. Flashed back to ndno's 1.1 and everything is working properly again.

Not complaining. I appreciate you guys doing things I cannot. Just giving feedback in the spirit these forums are intended.

Which stock rom specifically?

Could be a sign ur card may be going bad. What class of card is it? Is it the one that came with the phone?

questions in red

 

[ndno]

Yeah, you could have an unreliable SD card. I haven't seen many SD card problems, if any.
The original v1.1 OC kernel doesn't undervolt so maybe your "card" works better with stock voltage for each of the frequencies. v1.2 and later are undervolted so maybe your card doesn't work well with the undervolted kernels. I believe all of imfm's versions are packaged with an undervolted kernel.

ZVC done via PlayfulGod's root preserving Update

32GB Class 4 SanDisk (purchased directly from Amazon and not a 3rd party reseller to avoid buying a fake). I purchased it based on an XDA forum recommendation, but I agree it is very possibly a card issue or perhaps the way the 32GB card interfaces with the phone. I have the perception that the Marquee is particularly sensitive to 32GB cards based on other threads, but that said, it's back to working properly on ndno's 1.1 kernel.

Yeah, 16GB and above may not play nice with CWM or Android: see here: http://androidforums.com/marquee-all-things-root/530360-problems-clockwork-32gb-microsd-card.html. I added a post in that thread to show you how to format a high capacity card under Linux.

I believe most people use 8GB or below. I'm not sure.

When I get a chance, I'll create a zip for you that combines v1.1 kernel with imfm's 3D boost ramdisk.

Are you on Sprint or Boost? I did have trouble with my SD card when I installed an older version of the 1300Mhz kernel, but I think ndno updated it or maybe it was related to something else because the newest version didn't cause me any trouble with my SD card. Its also entirely possible that your SD card does not like competing with the CPU/GPU for attention from the power controller. I would be very surprised if the changes we have made are causing you problems unless there is something strange about your card and/or phone. Do you have another SD card you can try? May be a good excuse to upgrade. I can't tell you how much happier I am with this phone running at full 3D power with ndno's overlclock and BloodDawn's CTMOD. If worst comes to worst, backup all your stuff in Titanium Backup, format your SD card, and do a fresh install of everything. It may be a pain, but the plus side is that everything will run smoother.

Thanks, ndno. That would be outstanding.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Linux box. But yes, CWM is a little finiky...actually, my anecdotal experiences may help others: I discovered for a CWM backup, I had to have the phone plugged in in order for it to complete successfully. If I tried to do it on battery, it would stall out mid backup. So yes, such supports your hypothesis that my card is very voltage sensitive and it may apply to other 32GB cards as well. Great insights.
