Okay folks, no fancy graphics or information here. Searching this site will tell you any of the generic information you may be interested in. I am not going to clutter up things any more than I normally do. Which is already enough.
I need to make something very clear here. I'm sure it's just me, but I feel like I need to say it out loud, rather than just leaving it in my source. At least 90% of what I give you is other peoples original work, modified by me to run on whatever device I have. I don't do it to look smart, or be important, I do it 9 times out of 10 because there isn't something already out there. The vast majority of the options I give you are from amazing coders like show-p1948 and faux123. There are random snippets from others too. This time Zarboz contributed a lot in the beginning. I just wanted to make that clear. If you ever wanna know exactly who did something I put into a kernel, go look at the source. If I cannot get the original commit, with them as author, they are listed in the comment. If nobody is there but me, I actually did it.
So, here you go:

It means that instead of assuming an unrecognized device is USB, it will assume AC, thus charging faster.

Yeah but it's better to have new govs and see prototype-u's last screenshot he has built it to #34 and it has also a freq table.

Still, this is a perfect custom stock kernel with only write protection disabled, init.d support and some new I/O shedulers.
The rest is the same as stock and that is perfect for everyone who doesn't need all the custom governors etc.

Maybe it will be overkill if i release one too. Plus, its not gonna be much different so wont matter, Anyways good luck:good::good:. If i manage to add something significant, maybe then i'll think abt release.

Can you still upload yours? I want to test the difference between the 3
MiRaGe is a lean and efficient kernel for the stock Nexus 4 ROM with the optimizations and updates that are not included in Google's stock kernel. MiRaGe kernel fits squarely in the stock Nexus 4 ROM; all of the modules are integrated in the kernel just like the stock kernel and it should work with all AOSP ROMs that work with the stock kernel and boot image. However, only the current stock ROM is tested. If you decide to use MiRaGe, just flash and forget it since I have avoided adding more sysfs parameters. It is not my goal to enable all possible tweaking options and add every possible feature to the kernel such as multitude of governors, io schedulers, sweep2wake, fastcharge, etc. This kernel is not intended as a tweaker's kernel. You can, of course, tweak it as much as you want since that is your phone and kernel. But please try removing your tweaks before posting any problems. I always test the latest builds with the current stock ROM before posting here.
I am sharing exactly what I have developed for myself and posting here so that I can return at least a small part of what I have received from the open source community. I thought the amount of time I have spent for MiRaGe could be useful for others as well. In short, take it if you want it, leave it if you don't. But comments, suggestions are always welcome when they make sense.
Source Code:
Source code is based on Google's msm kernel source (currently android-msm-mako-3.4-lollipop-mr1.1) and a summary of my changes are below. You can find the full details of my changes and the complete source code in my repo.
Changes:
- synced with mainline Linux 3.4.110
- cleaned up kernel configuration and removed many unnecessary options
- removed kernel debugging options
- built with the Linaro toolchain (gcc 4.9.4 - 15.06) using standard krait and -O2 optimization
- removed AOUT and OABI support
- disabled both user-space msm_mpdecision and kernel-space msm_mpdecision
- removed msm_run_queue_stats, dcvs, and stock msm_mpdecision in the kernel
- added autosmp, a simple and efficient (by me) multi-core cpu hotplug driver
- disabled the user-space thermald and switched to kernel-based msm_thermal
- replaced CFQ with the latest BFQ as the default IO scheduler
- backported random and prandom updates from Linux 3.13 (no entropy depletion anymore)
- backported workqueue from Linux 3.8 to include many important improvements
- backported rwsem from Linux 3.11 to include lock stealing improvements
- backported mutex and rcu locking from Linux 3.10 and 3.8, respectively
- backported slub memory allocator updates from Linux 3.8

- updated interactive CPU governor from AOSP and CAF
- disabled userspace CPU governor,
- enabled callback-free CPUs (RCU_NOCB_CPU)
- backported TCP Small Queues and CODEL net scheduler from Linux mainline and set as default
- updated kernel scheduler, msm-hotplug, msm-idle, msm-pm code from CAF and Linux mainline
- applied patch [v4] binfmt_elf.c: use get_random_int() to help with entropy depleting
- enabled autogroup scheduler and applied patch per-uid task group for Android
- added optimized ARM RWSEM algorithm
- added optimized ARM SHA1/AES routines
- enabled CPU-supported unaligned accesses
- disabled gentle fair sleepers in scheduler
- updated Qualcomm HW RNG driver from CAF
- enabled BPF JIT compiler for packet filters
- applied glibc patch to improve the performance of memcpy and memmove
- applied word-at-a-time ARM API patches

- optimized vdd curves, L2 and bus speeds for better performance and efficiency
- removed unneeded a2xx and a4xx components from kgsl driver
- modified the prima wifi driver to disable debug code
- removed PMEM completely, MiRaGe is pure ION
- add support for kernel mode NEON and NEON acceleration
- add NEON optimized SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512 crypto code
- add LoUIS API for cache maintenance ops to improve cpu hotplug latency
- added and enabled power_efficient workqueue
- added and enabled msm memutils
- added screen gamma, user space cpu voltage control, and dt2w
- backported devfreq driver from CAF and switched kgsl 3d governor to simple_ondemand
- backported many other fixes/updates/optimizations from CAF and Linux mainline, see the repo for details
- init.d supported if /etc/init.d and busybox are available
- a diff file of changes to ramdisk is here

The only difference between the standard and overclock builds is the ~100mV undervolt in the overclock build. Both kernels have maximum CPU_freq = 1.728 GHz, default CPU_freq = 1.512 GHz, overclocking, and user space cpu voltage control enabled. Since the CPU gets hot quickly in Nexus 4, I only recommend overclocking with the overclock build that has built-in undervolt. If the phone doesn't boot with overclock kernel, it means that your CPU is not able to handle the undervolt settings. In that case, you can just reboot into recovery and flash the standard kernel. No-frills CPU Control is recommended to set the max overclock frequency. Each CPU has different overclock/undervolt ability. Don't get disappointed if the OC build doesn't work for you.
Installation:
You can do one of the followings
- Flash the zip files in recovery, there is no need to wipe cache or dalvik-cache
- Flash the boot image in the zip file using either Flash Image GUI or fastboot
- Here is the original boot image for LMY48I build, in case needed for going back to stock. Either flash in the recovery or open the zip file to extract the boot image.

Recommendations:
I am frequently receiving requests to add sound patches in the kernel. I agree that the sound is not very good but there are solutions. I am using the Viper4AndroidFX as a replacement sound processor. I recommend giving it a try. You need to go to the sound options and select ViPER4AndroidFX to use this sound processor or freeze MusicFX (I use Link2SD for this). There is plenty of information at the above link. With this available, I am not planning to add any sound patches.
Another frequent question is about choosing CPU governor and IO scheduler. In the earlier builds, interactive governor had the best balance of performance and battery life among other CPU governors and it is still available. In the latest builds, ondemand governor was backported from Linux 3.12 and replaced interactive as the default. The latest patches in the mainline Linux, especially stratosk's patch that optimized the load calculations made the new ondemand governor the better option regarding both power and performance. Regarding IO scheduler, BFQ scheduler has the best overall real-use performance and it is actively maintained/improved. You can use Nofrills CPU Control to change the governor and scheduler. But I would leave the defaults as BFQ scheduler and ondemand governor.
Since all of the cpu power control functions are contained in the kernel with MiRaGe, the userspace PowerHAL library will be giving the following messages in the logcat.
Code:
E/PowerHAL( 511): touch_boost: failed to send: No such file or directory
E/PowerHAL( 511): touch_boost: failed to send: No such file or directory
E/PowerHAL( 511): touch_boost: failed to send: No such file or directory
These are harmless but if you want to eliminate them, just make a backup and delete/rename /system/lib/hw/power.msm8960.so and power.mako.so. The single purpose of touch_boost is to enhance the system response to the user interaction. But using a service in the user space to send a touch boost signal to the kernel via slow sysfs file system is the wrong way of trying to achieve lower latency. In addition, every touch input doesn't need a CPU frequency boost which wastes battery power. The best way of achieving the low-latency system response to user interaction is improving the efficiency of existing CPU governor which raises the CPU frequency and hotplug driver which enables off-line cpu cores when needed. In MiRaGe, CPU freq is only controlled by the CPU governor based solely on the CPU load and the latency is low since efficiency is improved by reducing such unnecessary bloat. Additionally, highly-efficient autosmp hotplug driver works in-sync with the CPU governor to enable off-line cpu cores when the the CPU frequency reaches a high threshold and still more compute power is needed. Therefore, touch boost bloat is removed.
With some of the custom ROMs, root is lost after flashing MiRaGe because of using the init scripts in the ramdisk for starting the su daemon. SuperSU is the recommended solution. I might switch to any-kernel-updater to address this problem but as written in the OP, MiRaGe is primarily for the stock ROM. Also, having the full boot image in the zip file is more reliable than expanding/processing/repacking the boot image.
MiRaGe supports init.d if it is setup. To setup init.d do the followings either within ES File Explorer or terminal .
- install busybox (I use busybox on rails)
- create /system/etc/init.d and chmod to 755 (rwxr-xr-x)
- create your init scripts in the /system/etc/init.d directory. Name them 01yourscriptname (e.g. 01mysettings) and chmod 755. Make sure they are UNIX format (not in DOS/Windows).
example:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/dt_wake_enabled
- reboot
Here is how to add multiROM support
How to build:
If you are going to distribute your builds, please don't build your binaries with the same name (i.e. MiRaGe) and distribute in this thread. I would recommend you to start an alternative thread. Otherwise the problem reports will be too confusing for everyone.
First requirement is an ARM toolchain for cross compiling, i.e. using an X86 computer to generate ARM binary. I use Linaro tool chain for cross compiling like many others since Linaro specifically develops tool chains that produce optimized binary for ARM architecture.
Linaro toolchains can be downloaded from Linaro binary page. Christopher83 has built the latest Linaro-14.08 toolchain based on gcc-4.8.4 which is stable/reliable and I recommend starting the development with this toolchain.
The binary Linaro toolchain for Linux package needs to be expanded in a certain directory, probably inside the home directory. The source code for kernel is available in my Github repo, You can either download the kernel source as a compressed package or you can git-clone it with the following command (you will need git installed in your Linux computer)
Code:
git clone https://github.com/mrg666/android_kernel_mako.git
The kernel source can again be in a specific home directory.
After the source and toolchain are prepared, copy the configuration file for shooter, arch/arm/configs/mako_config, as .config to the root of the kernel source and use the following command to build the kernel
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/untarred-toolchain-dir/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage -j8
Replace j8 in the above command according to the number of cpus you have on your computer.
Also set CROSS_COMPILE based on the directory you have expanded the binary toolchain package in your home directory.
I always use the latest version of Xubuntu x64 (with custom built kernel) on my Linux workstation that has a AMD FX-8320 (overclocked to 4.2 GHz), 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HD. The compile time is about 2 minutes for me using all 8 cores. I have been using Ubuntu since version 10.04 to build Gingerbread, Jellybean, and Linux kernel and updated the OS to each and every new version, all of them worked just fine. There is no magic version of Ubuntu. The build problems arise from the package requirements not the OS version.
The flash package is easy. Just use any-kernel updater package in the OP as a template and replace zImage in /kernel directory with your build. If you want to create a boot image, see this post
Now that you have source and can build the kernel, you can add all the features you want to your own kernel
Woww greatt, thanks mirage
many thanks Mirage!
Does JSS come with caf video driver or it can be flashed on non-cm roms without problems?
Inviato dal mio Nexus 4 con Tapatalk
Good to see new kernel which goal is simplicity, not many of them are here. ill try it when clean instal comes to repertoar. just one question, you didnt mention -O3 and gcc 4.8.2, so i asume you didnt use them? Thanks.
Poslano sa mog Nexus 4 koristeći Tapatalk
I haven't updated the video driver from CAF ... yet. I will do after the 4.4 update if Google hasn't done yet.
Kernel is compiled with gcc 4.7.4 using -O2 optimization. gcc 4.8 was not giving me reliable builds yet. I will switch when 4.8 becomes stable. I have tried O3 optimization in the past and I didn't see any benefit of it. Plus, O3 optimization caused reliability issues especially with the latest gcc compilers.
MiRaGe should be compatible all AOSP-based ROMs, as long as the same user-space libraries are used with the stock 4.3 ROM. I can't claim universal compatibility since even stock JSS and JWR builds need different kernels.
Would you consider making a ZIP?
I found your kernel to be quite interesting, but I don't really like flashing via IMG file.

you can download one of 1000 kernels around here and replace the kernel.img ... and wholà you have a zip version.

Can't agree with you more but the problem with so many people on xda is that they rarely even open up a zip file to see how it operates. Guarantee most of the people will shy away simply because of the lack of a zip. Again I agree its not that hard to do but lets be honest here most have problems searching so taking a boot.img and putting it in a zip probably aint happening
I have just uploaded the alternative flashable zip files. I will remove the image files since they are in the zip files now.

That can't happen due to flashing the zip files in the OP since there is nothing in the zip file that touches /system, it is not even mounted.
Gonna give it a go on Vanir. I'll report back of my root gets effected. Happened a lot with 4.3 when it first came out

I am using CWM 6.0.4.4. It is constantly suggesting to restore my root although it is not lost. If this is what is mentioned here, just ignore it; root is not lost. SuperSU, su keep working. Actually, I am losing my patience with CWMT lately. Maybe it is time to switch to TWRP.

I'd say it's long overdue to switch to twrp lol. Ever since I switched to twrp back on my rezound, I have NEVER looked back to cwm. Not to say cwm isnt/wasn't great.. But you know how it is lol.

I just don't like the "overdesigned" interface of TWRP. It is too fancy for my taste. But as long as it works when needed, it would be fine with me. I don't boot into recovery so frequently anyway since I flash the kernel in fastboot or Flash Image GUI.
Oddly enough, I lost root. I'm currently running the latest version of Paranoid Saberdroid.

Is it just what the recovery says? I use the stock JWR ROM and root is preserved when I flash although CWMT falsely complains about it.
Edit: I just tested with TWRP as well. Root is still preserved.

Using TWRP there is no error message, it just says it was installed successfully.
I just tried it on a clean install, and the same thing happened.

Q: What is QV version?
A: QV means "qualcomm voltages". qualcomm made a patch and stuck all voltages to 1150mv to improve stability. QV version has got all 1150 mv for each freq (like older 3.4 kernels).Q: I plugged in my pen drive but i can't found it
A: look in /mnt/usbdisk folder.Q: What's and how i enable/disable fastcharge?
A: with fast charge an USB charger will recognized as AC charger. it won't charge your phone faster with an AC charger. it may not charge your phone faster with an USB charger.
with the usb cable UNPLUGGED edit /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge:
0 -> disable
1 -> enable
than plug in the cableQ: i've got random reboots, what do you need?
A: first read here
write this info:
kernel version

scheduler
undervolted? if yes don't undervolt
QV version? if no use it

Q: what's BLN and how i enable/disable it?
with BLN on when you received a notify the soft key will blink.
to enable/disable edit /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/blink_buttons:
0 -> disable
1 -> enableQ: what's s2w and how i enable/disable it?
Sweep2wake allows you to wake up your device by swiping your finger across the capacitive buttons from left to right. Swiping from right to left will put it back to sleep (sweep2sleep).
to enable/disable edit /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake:
0 -> disable
1 -> enableQ: what's dt2w and how i enable/disable it?
DoubleTap2Wake (DT2W) allows you to wake the device by double tapping the capacitive buttons.
to enable/disable edit /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake:
0 -> disable
1 -> enableWhat's sleepy_plug and how can i activate/deactivate it?
sleepy plug it's an hotplug driver (it decide when turn on the second core) i wrote. it's an experimental driver and it may have got performance problem. if you notice some decrease in performance report it.
to enable/disable edit /sys/module/sleepy_plug/parameters/sleepy_plug_active:
0 -> disable
1 -> enableInstall instruction:S-OFF:
- flash the zip in recovery
- wipe caches (optional)S-ON:

This is pretty sick gonna give it a whirl as soon as I'm free, but I had thought that HTC hasn't released our kernel to the devs so this will probably brick our devices since it's a port right ??

U see after the sense 5 4.3 update our phones received the partition layout changed and with it came an updated kernel but since HTC hasn't released the new kernel this could possibly brick phones on the new layout but it might work with phones on the old layout, listen I'm no expert if anyone here on the new partition flashes this plz do report back so that we can now if this is compatible

Ok....update.
I flashed today's build (QV version), and here are the changes.
- The different governors now show up.
- Sweep/Doubletap options don't show up in TricksterMOD.
- I tried to force sweep2wake to work through Kernel Tuner, but the phone froze after I applied the new settings.
- I didn't notice your post soon enough to try the interactive governor. I will post an update soon.

Build compiled from our CM branch sources with various optimizations / kernel features
Final build for 4.4.4 released (20th April 2015)
Many of the new features can be configured by kernel tools like Synapse. Install synapse app from market and UKM zip from downloads section.
We have moved on to Lollipop thread.
V7 [Changelog]
KERNEL:
- New hotplugs - ALUCARD, MSM
- MSM_limiter
- Fix synapse stuff - GPU etc..
- Governor tweaks
ROM
- Latest CM 11 sources.
- Fix chrome issues
- Fix button lighting-up when screen is off
Recommeded: Alucard governor with Alucard hotplug.
This is my synapse profile: http://goo.gl/3EbMUS
Note: For V6 and above (and specially for governors like zzmoove / alucard) , using Trickster/Synapse:
1. Disable MP-Decision
2. Enable intelli-plug
3. Enable intelli-thermal
4. And set to restore kernel settings on boot.
Old changelogs
V6 [Changelog]
- ROM sources updated to 20th November.
- Switch from O3 to Ofast [Even more compiler optimizations] and Re-enable Justarchi compiler optimizations [We have given up on exfat]
- GPU should now idle to 27MHz [instead of earlier 200Mhz]
- GPU overclocked to 535Mhz [earlier 500Mhz]
- CPU should now idle to 268Mhz (instead of earlier 300Mhz)
- Port few of my favorite governors from Oneplus one kernel these days - zzmoove and alucard: Both have been awesome for me (credits go to Oneplus one kernel developers - @Lord Boeffla, @ZaneZam, @alucard_24) - I will eventually start removing some of the older CPU governors. Looks like we have lots of them now.
- Various kernel patches - arch power, cpu boost, gentle fair sleepers, software crc is off
- Upgrade BFQ scheduler to BFQ-v7r6
V5.1 [Changelog]
- Newer sources from 20141107
- fsync is now disabled (Defers file writes but risk of data loss with crashes etc. Can be enabled in trickster)
- tweak intelliactive (hispeed freq was 2457, calm it down to 1985)
- voltage tweaks for speed 1 pvs 2
- default IO schd BFQ
- Frequency throttle limit increased slightly (Thermal policies can now be controlled through Trickster)
V5 [Changelog]
- Newer sources from 20141102 and use SaberMOD Toolchain, GCC 4.8.2 for kernel as well as entire build.
- Add a new hotplug engine - IntelliPlug (developed and used in famous Franco's Kernel) - I recommend to use this one, and switch off MP-Decision. (Enable in Trickster)
- Add a new thermal engine - Intellithermal (again from Franco) - Recommend to use this one. (Enable in Trickster)
- Add USB Fast charge (Enable in Trickster)
- Add another performance centric governor - SmartMAX (Combines features of OnDemand and SmartASSv2), Use it as gaming driver.
- Tweak intelliactive - Recommend to use this as default (Interactive is battery friendly but a bit laggy)
- Add powersuspend
- Reduce VM Swappiness to 10 (We have enough RAM)
- Some GPU tweaks
Other features
- CPU Overclocks of upto - 2457Mhz
- GPU overclocks of upto - 500Mhz
- Voltage control (UV)
- Additional CPU governors - Intelliactive, Intellidemand, InteractiveX
- Additional IO Schedulers - SIO, FIOPS, ZEN, VR
- Tweaked thermal policies (aggressive by default)
- Lower GPU clocks by default
- Reduced logging
- Net tweaks - Lock initial TCP window size to 64k

excellent!
I'll try it later.
I always flash PurePerformances™X mod after every nightlie and it feels somewhat faster after it. I did flashed it on all my devices.
Maybe you can insert it in your future builds.
Keep them coming !
LE: mod link fixed
Thanks for this... Will give it a shot!
For anyone wanting to try this.. So far so good here. Hasn't been running long enough to make any major comparisons yet. Clean flashed, so not sure about dirty flashing.
I installed it over nightly and it runs pretty well but the playstore icons bug is pretty bad.
For now I moved on to the next nightly but if you can fix that bug I will surely flash it again.

Should be fixed with Linaro 4.9 (thats next). Trying out a few more optimizations for next build (expect to post one on weekend).

Don't pay attention to benchmarks....
If you want to meet or beat stock, just turn off thermal throttling, enable all 4 cores and set performance as the governor. Make it a fair comparison...
Finally a linaro build!! Keep up the great work! Could you modify the kernel too? Overclock cpu and gpu would be awesome...

@crpalmer
I suppose we are talking about /etc/thermal-engine-8974.conf, /etc/thermal-engine.conf (symlinked to thermal-engine-8960.conf) and /etc/thermald.conf (symlinked to thermal-8960.conf) on cm builds. They seem to be using different set of values from stock.
Can't we not use these values/files directly-from/similar-to stock builds ? As the thermal engine libs and binaries we are directly picking from stocks ?
Is stock too aggressive or CM too defensive ?
Also noticed that these linked files are broken as well. (no thermal-engine-8960.conf and thermal-8960.conf). Some build script issues ?

I wasn't suggesting that you turn that off permanently, that's just what the stock ROM is most likely (automatically) doing when you run a benchmark. That's how you get a higher score, not how you have a better ROM...
My point being, don't worry about whether or not the scores are better, worry about the whole experience being better (which is very much is). On a phone of mine, CM was way more performant even though it scored less than half of stock's Quadrant score.

I agree benchmarks are just academic (and just nice-to-have). I was just suggesting that we could use same thermal configuration files as found in stock builds. Are these even the files that would affect benchmarks (thermal-engine*.conf and thermald*.conf) ? Are you suggesting that stock build just shuts off any kind of throttling as soon as it detects benchmark tests ? I thought only some devices did that and they got caught.
I am building with linaro 4.9 and have swapped out those conf files from stock. Lets see how it goes.

Unfortunately, Linaro 4.9 is breaking stuff. Getting into a bootloop n all. Need more time.

Been struggling with some adreno crashes on boot when using 4.9 toolchain. Earlier I thought it's the compiler optimizations not playing well with 4.9. But I run into same without any customizations -
Here's the logcat if anyone wants to take a look.
http://pastebin.com/eS0eHvzL
If I can't get around these in a day or two, we'll come back to 4.8 and carry on with other optimizations. I read somewhere the gibberish icons are fixed on newer play store.

Its probably the adreno libs built using older tool chains.

Just posted another build with today's sources with both CPU and GPU overclocks. Had to go back to older 4.8 toolchain. The overclocks are running surprisingly stable on device.
The playstore icons issue is still not resolved. Its being discussed here. However, I am not too worried by it.
Introduction:
Welcome! I've developed ArtxKernel, with the aim to make a great and clean kernels for CM and AOSP ROM's, but this one is for those that don't want to mess with a lot of features, like a Flash and Use Kernel! Battery life its very impressive and this Kernel is the most clean that I've made, so, enjoy it

sorry to say but i still cant understand why this kernel when there are ARTX and Light kernels??
and is there any chance that it would work on stock rom ?

This kernel is more faster than artx and light kernels, I am of those who cannot see a little lag because that bothers me and this kernel keeps my device smooth...
I didn't tested it on stock and I don't think that it will work, anyway, I can try to build custom stock kernel but I think that it's too late now for build to marshmallow

COOL.....but after trying every single custom rom MM or N......i went back to modded Stock rom because of stability and Camera Quality.... and literally i have tried EVERY SINGLE ROM out there.

Nice too See a New kernel again.. But... You sad its fast er then the other kernel of yours. I'm using the latest LightKernel, so this Ultimate kernel is faster and i want to now if this kernel is better in battery life ?

Sorry dude, I re-uploaded it
So, default cpu governor is performance? I hope it doesn't drains battery so much, since I usually prefer to just use the default setting because I believe OP have the best balanced settings there.

I don't know why your default gov is perfomance, change ir to interactive, I'll update this kernel soon... I'm a little busy for now on other things

Keep your time. You don't have to push an update all days. Let the users use it for a while and then report. One day with this kernel and report it is nothing. The system need time to get one with the kernel settings
G3X is pretty much beta. ArtX is not beta (IMO). If you want a more stable kernel use ArtX until this one gets all the kinks worked out.

I think I should also mention that I'm using RR 5.8.3 rom for F400 variant by oadam11, which is also have performance governor by default on its default kernel. Maybe there are something related.
Anyway, take your time, and thank you for your hard work.
EDIT: However, I've tried artxlight 2.1 but its governor wasn't set to performance by default. It was zzmoove.
Hi I have a little problem. When I flash through TWRP I get unsupported device and error 1. My device is d852.
