TDH Kernel for the Moto X Unified (CAF)
The kernel is that which manages the phone at a fundamental level. To learn more, see the "Index of Documentation for People Interested in Writing and/or Understanding the Linux Kernel."
How I Support This Work:
Donations always work
Thanks buttons also work wonders. Don't forget to hit the Thanks button for those whose work benefits you.
If I don't respond to a question, there is a very high likelihood the answer already exists in this thread -- use search as I rarely forget what's already covered.
Working Features:
AOSP
Best battery life (kernel installs init.d script to setup SmartMax governor)
Governors: SmartMax, Intelliactive, interactive, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance (more coming if relevant -- 'marketing checkmarks' -- a.k.a. useless but stuck in just for feature count -- won't get into this kernel)
Optional IOSched: Noop, Deadline, CFQ, BFQ, FIOPS, SIO (more coming if relevant -- same comment applies as for Governors)
Optional GPU Governors= Performance, Ondemand, Simple, Interactive
User voltage control
Kexec support
Initial Kexec support
ExFAT support
KSM optimizations
Enhanced NEON support
Reduce kswapd schedule enhancement
EXT4 file system speed ehancements
Many stability and optimizations upgrades.
In progress / futures (not stable yet) ...
Overclocking/underclocking options (in progress ... sigh , coming soon)...
Optional GPU overclocking
Doubletap2wake
Logo2wake
Pocket detection
Logo2menu.
Credits go to many, but most particularly:
Linus Torvalds (for Linux itself)
Flar2
Faux123
ThickLizard
TBaldin
A lot of other kernel devs whose code I read regularly to learn
All the Moto X Community
Instructions:
READ THE DISCLAIMER.
Download the kernel
Reboot into Recovery
Nandroid backup
Flash the kernel
Enjoy
Things to Know:
The flash uses standard 'by-name' partitions, so should install correctly on most AOSP based ROMs
The flash supports the CM11 standard /data/local/userinit.d init script (99-tdhk)
That script will delay one minute after boot and force the SmartMax governor on all cores
FIOS is the default IO scheduler
No need for Trickster or Performance Settings if you want those defaults (which you should)

Enjoy.

Fixed SmartMax governor bug that caused screen to stay off after some reboots.
Changed bootup and governor setting model to support Android property model (sets up /init.target.rc to import /init.tdhk.rc, the latter of which triggers to set smartmax whenever the Android property "ro.perf.profile" is set to "99".
Yay! AOSP kernel..
Booted up great!
XT 1058 running leonardoafa unofficial carbon rom!
Thanks. Downloading to test on XT1053.
Flashed great. XT1058 on Dirty Unicorns
Can i install it on stock 4.4.2? Or just 4.4.4?
Sorry, dude. Not looking backwards, I doubt less than 4.4.4 will work but you can always flash any try.
Do me a favor and turn on the CPU options in the developer's options. See that the smartmax governor is on all cores.
Want to be sure the init.d script is properly executing on that ROM (DU).
Wi-Fi and Signal lost after installing on XT1053 (Stock 4.4.3)
Im just making sure, this only works on AOSP roms and not stock, right?

4.4.4, not 4.4.3. Maybe one day I'll look at building backwards to others, but while stabilizing some new features, it's 4.4.4 or up.
Works great on the Droid Maxx!! Thanks man... Much needed!

It's not the source. It doesn't include the commits of features he has mentioned in the op. So he hasn't uploaded the kernel source.

WARNING: INSTALLATION OF ANY CUSTOM ROM [AND EVEN OFFICIAL FIRMWARE USING ODIN/KIES] CAN BE DANGEROUS. DON’T DO ANYTHING IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU DO.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU TRANSFORM YOUR CODINA INTO A BRICK
You need to have at least official 4.1.2 ROM with temporary CWM recovery (or ANY other 4.1+ custom ROM with recovery) to install this ROM
Although 4.2 i 4.3 branches of Slim ROMs are considered as not officially developed anymore - device and (especially) kernel sources are still under development - beside of this, i could add some features here and there - so let's call those ROMs as "in development stage". That way the ROMs are recommended only to people with at least some basic knowledge about Android troubleshooting. If your knowledge about Android is enough only to use the basic features of the phone then stay with 2.36 or 4.1.2 ROMs (or any other ROM, whatever. Just don't ask how to enable BLN or development menu for a thousand of times).
Main Features of SlimROMs [may vary depending on Android version]
The Real Dark Slim (TRDS)
SlimPIE
Expanded Desktop
LCD Density Changer
List View & System Animation
Navigation Bar & Ring
Notification Power Widget
Privacy Guard
Profiles
Quick Settings
RAM Bar
Theme Engine
Widgets Viewpager
Performance Settings
For more details go to official SlimROMs site: http://slimroms.net
Main features of used kernels*
Code base updated to Linux 3.0.x+, depending on used sources*.
CPU OC (up to 1250MHz, stability depends on your unit quality)
GPU OC (up to 730MHz, stability is pretty good, but speed bust is debatable)
CPU/GPU undervolting
Many governors and i/o schedulers available
* Probably main releases will be based on default TC kernels, however i consider adding separate kernel zip packages with @ChronoMonochrome's kernel (or maybe even one slightly modified by me)
Other characteristics of my ROMs:
Compiled with SaberMod toolchain
Compiled with optimization level -O3 [mix of "original" SlimSaber optimizations and JustArchi's optimalization commit]
compiled with necessary changes resulted from above changes
Source code:
SlimROMs

OUTDATED INFO
When i tried to build my own versions of SlimSaber ROMs for Codina - i decided to release it in one thread. Then - i had to decide how "deep" should that project be. Should i stop on 4.3.1 Android version, or move further, to build "complete Slim base"... I took a look into our device sources and found out, that 4.2.2 should be the final border. Our 4.1.2 sources are not good developed as 4.2.2 (which are much less developed than 4.3.1, updated lately thanx to courtesy of @Rox), but good enough (I think).
But what for? We have couple of SlimBean 4.2.2. builds, and probably nobody uses it anyway). Ok, but we have slightly modified device source AND major progress in kernel sources (OC, UV, etc.). Because of it - it was good ground for learning of making ROMs).
And i like number 3 more than number 2).

JELLYBEAN BUILDS:
ROM Info
SlimBean, ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Ace II
ROM OS Version: 4.3.1 JellyBean
Sources: SlimRoms (original)
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.0.101, 3.1
ROM Firmware Required: official JellyBean (with CWM recovery) or higher
Recovery: TWRP
Version Information
Status: Experimental
Official ROM version number: Build 2.1
Initial Build Date: 2014-08-25
Initial Build Release Date: 2014-08-27
Current Build Release Date: 2014-08-29
Current Build Number: BUILD II / B8
Inspiration for "creating" this ROM was SlimSaber Reborn by @fusionjack. Some claimed it as most stable/best ROM for Galaxy SII (i9100) phone. Too bad, compiling the ROM for Codina using SlimSaber Reborn sources (manifest) ended with some major issues [System ui silently crashes after receiving statusbar notification]. So, in short words - IT IS NOT SLIMSABER REBORN version for Galaxy Ace II . My ROM uses original SlimROMs sources, but...
1. Modified to work with our phone of course (OMX patches, low in-call workaround implementation, with some apps removed, etc.)
2. Mix of SlimSaber and JustArchi's optimalizations WITH all necessary fixes [build, external/bash]
3. Specific device sources
4. Device specific kernel sources
5. TWRP Recovery taken from KitKat branch
6. Some apps removed (e-mail, exchange, live wallpapers, etc.)
7. Original keyboard switched to Android L Keyboard
8. Things borrowed from SlimSaber Reborn:
Some of memory leak fixes in Settings and frameworks/base sources
SaberMod toolchain sources taken from SSR manifest
Some GPS fixes (may be reverted, because i'm not sure if helps or just the opposite).
Fix for crashing google drive apk [and thx to @PolishVodka]
So, once again - it's not a SlimSaber Reborn exact implementation (but it's close in some parts). I think it's possible, that next releases (if any) could be even more close to SSR, but it never will be "clean SSR", because of apps removed by me and differences in device/kernel sources (which is not the same with differences between both devices). I think next step will be Omni Performance Control integration...
Anyway - there wouldn't be my SlimBean ROM without SlimSaber Reborn...

----------------
Yes, that build is very close to original SlimSaber KitKat for Galaxy SII (apart from device/kernel differences AND those apps deleted by me). So this time all credits goes to @fusionjack [rest of credits you'll find in his thread]. I made that ROM because... well, i lost confidence in some of our leading ROMs and @shine911 didn't release his SlimKat ROM for long time (last one had serious issues with recovery storages and camera i think). But i wanted to test SlimKat ROM so badly... then i found SlimSaber topics... In the same time some of our fellows claimed that current (or in general) Kitkats are worse than leading 4.3.1 ROMs for our device. Well, i don't think that is so easy, but one is sure - KitKat source update from 4.4.2 -> 4.4.4 wasn't best thing that happened to our device's ROMs. So, first i tried to make our version of SS Reborn, but there was major issue (described above), so i tried to make SlimSaber Kitkat...
Short for now (didn't even tested last builds): It's much more SlimSaber than 4.3.1 version. Actually it uses SlimSaber repository (platform_manifest) with only device specific modification (as said before: omx patches, low in-call workarounds) and maybe some more apps removed. Maybe (just like in 4.3.1 build) i'll change original keyboard to Android L version...
But, in general, it's (or should i say: will be) SlimSaber for Codina).

Now, this is interesting...
nice to see you here mate :good:
I prefer cm 10.1 because of flash player and live video streaming. In 4.3.1 they worked?
@up
I tested with Twitch app. It's working. Resolution seems bit low (but i never used that app and don't know if it's normal )

And some more...
--- If you are using xposed, DO NOT POST BUGS! I have already seen people posting issues only to find out it was due to xposed or one of it's modules.
--- When posting bugs, do so with as much information as possible. We can't help you if you don't give the proper information:
* What build are you on?
* Clean or dirty install?
* Default or other dev's custom kernel?
* Are you using a theme?
* If you dirty flashed & have problems, did you try a clean install?
--- If you are having random reboots how about providing a log? These are invaluable as they provide the information to fix a real issue with the rom or to tell me that it is a user error.
--- If you are new to aosp or just don't know much about kernels, it is best to stick with the mainline kernel as it is very stable. No need to mess with the settings either as I have the kernel setup to enjoy out of the box.

Seems interesting my guess is saberslim is slimrom with saber mod? If so cool if I'm wrong sorry but I may have to try 4.4.4 version
When will 4.4.4 version be available
Very nice matey, I'm really looking forward SlimSaber 4.4
Wow, this rom has potential - status: tweakable(Miryn, check this one(i'll try to make mod from this 1)).
So far i can see:
- cpu control works properly with perfctrl(no 100mhz revert etc.),
- no browser lag with mobile sites present on liquid 4.3.x,
- no "chrono" tearing,
- nice 3d,
- NICE cf-bench score(lowlevel tests) - my main method of measuring "heaviness" of roms,
- fast boot,
- seems to HOLD 2g/3g setting after reboot(liq had problem with this),
To test:
- radio/viper/headphones(liq has issue with these),
- gps,
- cam stability(liq/dirtywriteback issue).
I may even switch from liquid to that one, damn.
You know, i really like ace2...
What puzzles me: why system is generating such big amount of /dropbox logs?

"Buttons backlight disabling pack: here"
In JB you can enable custom keys backlight here:
https://github.com/SlimRoms/packages_apps_Settings/blob/jb4.3/res/values/config.xml
(config_show_touchKeyDur>true<)
..indeed, it would be nice to have bln on/off in framework somewhere...
AFAIK buttons light and bln isn't the same.
@PolishVodka mentioned the buttons backlight...
Bln is managed by NTS (but I never tried it)
And my pack (pack I added) is somehow magical: it turns off backlight and enables notifications
But I'll check that option... Thx

Unofficial DorimanX builds by gsstudios(The resurrection of jellybean kernels)
Development has been discontinued due to commitment to lollipop roms
The Background:
DorimanX development has stopped for a while now. I've been a long term dorimanx user, but I felt that a lot of features need to be implemented into the kernel. As of a result, I decided to make my own personal builds! Please note that I'm no way as good as the master himself, Dorimanx, but I try to implement features to the best of my abilities. Also, I'm not going to be a proper maintainer of dorimanx kernel, this is just what I've done in my spare time.
If you have problems or if anything goes wrong, you can flash latest build by Computoncio
You can download from his official website:
http://dorimanx.casoncia.org/
The Mission:
To continue giving support for the much loved kernel. New features and additions will be added to improve flexibility and speed to the already amazing kernel. My goal is to improve DorimanX kernel as much as I can, without sacrificing stability.
NO LOLLIPOP SUPPORT HERE. JUST 4.1.X - 4.3.X JELLYBEAN ONLY!
STOCK JB ROM IS SUPPORTED HERE
DISCLAIMER:
ONLY FOR AOSP BASED ROMS
I'm not responsible for bricked devices or wrong version flashing
You are using this kernel at your own responsibility
——— !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!! ———
FEATURES:
This kernel includes the following additional features over stock dorimanX kernel:
- CPU Governors: HYPER, Ondemand, pegasusQ, Intellidemand, neoX, darkness, nightmare, zzmoove, powersave, sleepy, conservative, performance (Default: HYPER)
- IO Schedulers: ROW, Tripndroid, FIOPS, SIO, BFQ, CFQ, Noop, ZEN, Deadline (Default: SIO)
- TCP Algorithms: Cubic, Reno, BIC, Westwood, Highspeed, Hybla, HTCP, Vegas, Veno, Scalable, Lp, Yeah, Illinois (Default: Westwood)
- Updated SuperSU
- Built with Latest Optimized Linaro 4.9 Toolchain (Smooth, fast and fluid)
- Built-in Stweaks profiles updated (All profiles suit needs for most people now)
- Trim support (Be careful if you have brickbug affected chip!)
- Updated FPBug fix is already included in this kernel!
- Updated Linux Kernel version to 3.15 stable!
THINGS TO DO:
- Why don't you tell me what to do
THINGS I WILL NOT ADD:
Code:
- LZ4 Compression (Our Boot partition is way too small to support this)
- Useless CPU governors such as Userspace
- Colour tuning support (Unless someone helps me with this)
- Recovery version (WIll only consider doing this if working on LP kernel)
- Higher thermal limits (We all know what happens if we do this)
- Higher overclocking/Lower underclocking capabilities (So you want less stability and more SODs?)
- Synapse support (Stweaks is the only app that can fully support this kernel)
- Linux Kernel version updates (My skills need to improve first before taking on something this big)

Downloads
I test most of these builds to make sure they are stable. There may be some cases where I might not test out a build before releasing it. Kernels marked with '(STABLE)' are safe for everyday use, but only take this as a indication.
--IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ--
CAUTION: All builds marked with 'TRIM' at the end has TRIM enabled. If you have brickbug affected emmc chip, avoid downloading it if you don't know what you are doing! For more information about the trim brickbug, visit Lanchon's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ives/rom-brickbug-aftermath-speeding-t2843238
All builds without 'TRIM' (marked as 'NON-TRIM') have trim disabled. These kernels are safe on brickbug affected chips.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE DOWNLOADING THE RIGHT KERNEL. OTHERWISE YOU COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
For TRIM users:
To use TRIM, you can download an app on the app store called trimmer or use terminal commands as directed in the troubleshooting guide.
Linaro or UBER
I have constantly changed between UBER and Linaro toolchains, and have stuck with UBER toolchain. Choose whichever you believe is best for you. UBER is just Linaro toolchain with extra patches and updated components for speed and smoothness improvements. Linaro is more simplistic and stable.
Which version to choose?
9.x support = 4.1.y, 4.2.y, 4.3.y, 4.4.y maliv2 only! LATEST: DorimanX 9.45 by gsstudios - ROMS include CM10.1.3
8.x support = STOCK, 4.1.y, 4.2.y, 4.3.y, 4.4.y maliv1(STOCK) maliv2 all the rest! LATEST: DorimanX 8.45 by gsstudios - ROMS include Stock 4.1.2 JB, NeatROM, Omega ROM
mali = video driver (for new users that dont care to look for answers)
STOCK = Stock 4.1.2 Jellybean Update for s2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And finally, I always see the question on whether to use TRIM or NON-TRIM builds. I recommend using TRIM builds on all devices, even if you have brickbug affected chip. This is because TRIM builds are safe from brickbug as they have been correctly patched up and so it has been used by many users. However, when in doubt, use NON-TRIM builds.

Troubleshooting
(Probably one of the most detailed troubleshooting guides for kernels on XDA)
Q: Why flash your kernel? - For new users of DorimanX kernel
This applies to dorimanx kernel in general. Dorimanx kernel is an aftermarket kernel (or custom kernel) that is designed to allow users to tweak their phone at the kernel or near-hardware level side of things. In other words, users get more fine-grained control over their phone, this includes overclocking, underclocking, changing behavior of CPU/GPU etc. Adjusting such settings isn't for the faint-hearted since there is soooo many things to understand, but you aren't required to understand all of the settings. Ultimately, if you want to improve your phone experience, try dorimanx kernel!
Have a look at one of my posts on the thoughts on using my own kernel on neatrom (STOCK JB): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63063198&postcount=23
Q:How do I flash your kernel?
A: You flash kernels like flashing roms, except you don't have to factory reset your phone. If you can't flash the kernel for some reason, you can either flash philz recovery then flash the kernel OR you can just make your own kernel .tar file and flash via ODIN by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/convert-kernel-zip-to-tar-t2994381
Q: Which kernel version build should I flash?
A: Flash the latest stable version if you want the most stable experience. Builds that have not been marked with 'Stable' are mostly stable, or haven't been tested enough to earn a stable tag. Either way, it's up to you which one you want to flash. Read the changelog for any important changes that might have occurred in a particular build.
Q: What is the difference between v8.XX and v9.XX builds?
A: The 8.XX kernel branch was supposed to be the universal kernel that could be used for stock users and 4.2.X users as well as 4.3.X users. To be more specific, the 8.XX kernel branch has 2 GPU drivers for maliv1 and maliv2 roms, meaning that more ram needs to be allocated for the GPU. There isn't much of a performance difference using one or the other if you are on maliv2 rom, however one branch may get specific optmisations that are not present in others. In other words, choose the kernel version that you require, not the one that will support the most android versions. STOCK 4.1.2 users should use 8.XX builds, whereas 4.2.X and 4.3.X users should use 9.XX builds, depending on the ROMs mali (GPU driver) version.
Q: Wifi doesn't work after I flash this kernel
A: There are two main causes to this issue, either there is a problem with your:
- Partitions OR
- Permissions OR
- Gapps OR
- ROM OR
- Compatibility with your wifi hardware
Don't use a pit with modded preload! It will just cause issues with ROMs and Kernels. Use stock pit or use a pit with unmodded preload. Sometimes, the gapps package you flash somehow breaks compatibility with the kernel. You can fix this by flashing a different gapps (making sure to clean cache and dalvik). If you have permissions problem, you can fix this by repartitioning your internal sd card or by reflashing back to stock rom. Sometimes, the ROM doesn't fully support the wireless drivers in the kernel, this can be solved by flashing a different ROM or different kernel. But if your wifi hardware is not compatible (a way to tell this is when you have tried everything and failed), there is nothing you can do but reflash the rom or flash a different kernel.
Q: My sd cards don't mount after I flash dorimanX kernel!
A: Please check the format (or file system) of your sd cards. DorimanX kernel doesn't support ext4 formatted sd cards and hence you can't see them. You will need to format the sd cards to fat32 or other format.
Q: I came from a different custom kernel that used Stweaks, now the app has issues
A: Every time you come from a different custom kernel with stweaks support, make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache after install dorimanx kernel
Q: My battery life sucks after flashing this kernel!
A: Download and install Betterbatterystats and see what is the culprit to your problem. If it is kernel related, have you made sure you have wipe cache and dalvik and reset stweaks settings? If yes, it would be nice if you posted a logcat.
Q: How do I get a logcat for the kernel?
A: In stweaks, go to BUG-REPORT and tap on KERNEL-BUG.
Q: Why do I get bootloops with this kernel?
A: If you were on a working version on dorimanx kitkat before, there is probably something wrong with the installation. If you are on a ROM that is not kitkat, you flash the wrong kernel! You need to flash the right kernel for your android version. Sometimes, bootloops can occur due to corruption of the kernel zip file (usually from bad download) or from corrupted partitions.
Q: What do all of the settings mean? They are all confusing!
A: Please note that DorimanX kernel isn't for users who have just rooted their device. Before jumping into the custom kernel world, try playing around with other kernels first. Once you think you have some experience, read the stweaks beginners guide I made and then attempt to tweak the kernel using stweaks.
Q: How do I trim my partitions?
BEWARE: Make sure you have read all of the precautions before attempting to trim your partitions!
A: install the trimmer app from the playstore. App link . Check for all 3 partitions, and tap on run. grant root access. the 3 fstrim operations should be successful ("partition was trimmed" means success).
alternatively, instead of using trimmer you can run one of these commands (these are better because they also trim /preload):
# on the phone in the terminal app:
su -c "fstrim -v /system; fstrim -v /data; fstrim -v /cache; fstrim -v /preload"
# on your PC if you are connected to the phone via adb:
adb shell su -c "fstrim -v /system; fstrim -v /data; fstrim -v /cache; fstrim -v /preload"
reboot.

Q: My device is (hard) bricked after flashing your kernel!
A: Have you read all of the precautions before installing the kernel? You made the decision to flash the kernel and now you've stuffed up your phone.
Q: I get constant FCs after flashing your kernel!
A: Have you wiped your cache partition, dalvik cache and reset stweaks settings? If you've done all of these already, a logcat would be nice
Q: How do I use dual boot?
A: There are many guides on how to dual boot roms using dorimanx kernel. Just use the search function on XDA or GOOGLE it!
Q: What's a good combination for CPU governor and I/O scheduler?
A: Have a look at the default settings, they are optimised for our phone
However, here are some settings I personally like:
1. Governor: HYPER/Ondemand I/O scheduler:SIO/SIO
2. Governor: PegasusQ/Nightmare I/O scheduler: SIO/SIO
3. Governor: NeoX/Ondemand I/O scheduler: SIO/SIO
4. Governor: Nightmare/Nightmare I/O scheduler: SIO/SIO
Q: Why does the screen turn blank after the dorimanx logo appears during the boot process?
A: If your kernel doesn't bootloop, but the screen remains blank, there is a good chance that the ROM that you've used uses an older version of GPU drivers (Mali). This kernel only support ROMs with Maliv3 support. If you flash this kernel on MaliV2 or MaliV1 only roms, you will get a blank screen after flashing. To fix this, flash to the kernel the corresponds to your mali driver version and you should get your display back.
Q: What is a TCP algorithm?
A: Congestion control strategies (or algorithms) are used by TCP, the data transmission protocol used by many Internet applications. The main goal of a TCP algorithm is to avoid sending more data than the network is capable of transmitting, that is, to avoid causing network congestion.
Q: What is UBER?
A: After years of using different custom toolchains like Linaro and SaberMod, I found there were things I liked about both of them but also things that didn't sit quite as well with me. SaberMod always seemed to have UI lag (especially in scrolling) but opened apps well and Linaro always seemed to be buttery smooth but had terrible app opening speed. Linaro battery was also worse for me than SaberMod. After going back and forth between toolchains I finally had this epiphany! Why not just take all of the best parts of all toolchains and merge them into one? So I began bringing up my own toolchain from gnu.org. At first I patched in all of the AOSP toolchain pactches (much like how SaberMod did it originally however it is important that you realize that No! I did not copy and paste SaberMod into my source I'm simply stating that I used their idea of merging aosp into gnu.org) to my source. Then I went through and added all of the linaro patches that I could to the source. I also made sure that I had the very latest of every toolchain component. I then made very minimal changes to the aosp toolchain build folder to allow for building with these newer toolchain components and UBERTC was born!!! (Note: both Linaro and SaberMod both made lots of modifications to the toolchain build folder, UBERTC is the closest to the aosp build process)

No build up yet, will build sometime on Friday or on the weekend. (Internet speed is quite slow right now)
Also, out of the 3 branches I maintain, updates to this branch will be the slowest. (More work will be done on kitkat and lollipop kernels).
Works on 4.1.2?

Yep, Ubuntu 14.04 on Virtualbox. I just reinstalled the vm and still issue occurs. I think the connection between github and my pc is just slow, sometimes it is fast, but most of the time it is slow.

Releasing first build this afternoon. Will have most changes from my lp and kk kernel.
Hello guys. I have released my first personal build for the 9.XX branch of dorimanX kernel. You can download it from AFH or from github as I speak. Build v001 will contain most of the changes in KK and LP kernels, however some changes still need a bit more working. This is a massive upgrade over the original unofficial 9.xx branch which was inactive for a while. As I said earlier, I will not be working on this kernel branch as often compared to my KK and LP kernel.
@nhmanas, you got what you wished to see as what you said in my general fpbug suggestion thread
cheers, gsstudios

@gsstudios thanks mate! I will try itit after I test rr5.1.1! I needed an updated kernel on stable cm10.1
why with dorimanx kernel versions until 9(v8.x.x)we have only 784 mb ram on JB ??? on some roms with different version s of DorimanX having 806 and on stock based kernels whole 826!? Could not be done in sucha maner???? memory hungry, ha?!?!?? Jessus and Maria! Be dev and fix it! Tnx!
Works on 4.2.2 Rom??

When I have time, I will compile the last build for this branch with all of the features I've promised.
Gsstudios.
Build v002 released. I will not release any new builds for a while until I finish my exams.
This release comes with updated BFQ io scheduler, updates to all other io schedulers, updated zzmoove and some other changes (refer to changelogs).

FP Bug fix and TRIM on older kernels
The Background:
Kernel development for older android versions have stopped for a while now. With the release of the FP Bug fix and TRIM enabled kernel, I decided to make my own personal builds! Please note that in no way I am going to maintain these kernels. I have enough kernels to maintain anyway!
If you have problems or if anything goes wrong, you need to reflash your current ROM to revert kernel.
The Mission:
To continue giving support for the much loved kernel. New features and additions will be added to improve flexibility and speed to the already amazing kernel. My goal is to improve DorimanX kernel as much as I can, without sacrificing stability.
NO JELLYBEAN, KITKAT AND LOLLIPOP SUPPORT HERE!
DISCLAIMER:
ONLY FOR AOSP/STOCK BASED ROMS
I'm not responsible for bricked devices or wrong version flashing
You are using this kernel at your own responsibility
——— !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!! ———
FEATURES:
This kernels includes the following additional features over stock kernel builds:
- Built with Latest Linaro 4.9 Toolchain (Smooth, fast and fluid)
- Updated FPBug fix is already included in this kernel!

I will mostly work on this LP kernel since I have LP ROM installed. I will test each build before uploading it onto XDA. Kernels marked with '(STABLE)' are safe for everyday use, but only take this as a indication.
--IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ--
CAUTION: All builds marked with 'TRIM' at the end has TRIM enabled. If you have brickbug affected emmc chip, avoid downloading it if you don't know what you are doing! For more information about the trim brickbug, visit Lanchon's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ives/rom-brickbug-aftermath-speeding-t2843238
All builds without 'TRIM' (marked as 'NON-TRIM') have trim disabled. These kernels are safe on brickbug affected chips.
All builds with '-signed' at the end can be flashed using Cyanogen recovery, these zips are signed and should flash without errors.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE DOWNLOADING THE RIGHT KERNEL. OTHERWISE YOU COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
For TRIM users:
To use TRIM, you can download an app on the app store called trimmer or use terminal commands as directed in the troubleshooting guide.
In order to tweak the kernel properly, you need to install stweaks from the play store or from the apk in the attachments below:
Troubleshooting
(Probably one of the most detailed troubleshooting guides for kernels on XDA)
Q:How do I flash your kernel?
A: You flash kernels like flashing roms, except you don't have to factory reset your phone. However, if you are official CM12.1 nightly, you will have to flash the kernel differently.
Method A: If you get signature verification errors, you need to sign the zip with a program like Sign-em or Sign+.
Method B: To flash this kernel on official CM12.1 nightly, you first need to flash Philz recovery on your phone via ODIN. Here is the link to the for philz recovery: Philz Touch Recovery After that, you can flash the kernel like normal.
Method C: Another way is to create a kernel .tar file by extracting the zimage file located in /boot folder of the kernel zip then create a .tar archive. Then flash it in ODIN. Here is the guide to create your own kernel tar file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/convert-kernel-zip-to-tar-t2994381 For your convenience, I've create a tar file of build b002 in the guide linked.
Q: Which kernel version build should I flash?
A: Flash the latest stable version if you want the most stable experience. Builds that have not been marked with 'Stable' are mostly stable, or haven't been tested enough to earn a stable tag. Either way, it's up to you which one you want to flash. Read the changelog for any important changes that might have occurred in a particular build.
Q: Which app should I use to tweak the kernel?
To have access to all of the tunables, you need to install stweaks from the playstore or from the apk linked in the downloads post.
Q: Wifi doesn't work after I flash this kernel
A: There are two main causes to this issue, either there is a problem with your:
- Partitions OR
- Permissions OR
- Gapps OR
- ROM OR
- Compatibility with your wifi hardware
Don't use a pit with modded preload! It will just cause issues with ROMs and Kernels. Use stock pit or use a pit with unmodded preload. Sometimes, the gapps package you flash somehow breaks compatibility with the kernel. You can fix this by flashing a different gapps (making sure to clean cache and dalvik). If you have permissions problem, you can fix this by repartitioning your internal sd card or by reflashing back to stock rom. Sometimes, the ROM doesn't fully support the wireless drivers in the kernel, this can be solved by flashing a different ROM or different kernel. But if your wifi hardware is not compatible (a way to tell this is when you have tried everything and failed), there is nothing you can do but reflash the rom or flash a different kernel.
Q: My battery life sucks after flashing this kernel!
A: Download and install Betterbatterystats and see what is the culprit to your problem. If it is kernel related, have you made sure you have wipe cache and dalvik and reset stweaks settings? If yes, it would be nice if you posted a logcat.
Q: How do I get a logcat for the kernel?
A: In stweaks, go to BUG-REPORT and tap on KERNEL-BUG.
Q: How do I trim my partitions?
BEWARE: Make sure you have read all of the precautions before attempting to trim your partitions!
A: install the trimmer app from the playstore. App link . Check for all 3 partitions, and tap on run. grant root access. the 3 fstrim operations should be successful ("partition was trimmed" means success).

Good Job...If u need any help...plz let me know...Thanks.
Here is a highly experimental build based on Siyah 5.0i. It has the FP Bug fix included on it. Please, if someone has ICS installed, can someone test it. Proper build will have ICS included in the file name.
Thanks, gsstudios
Edit: Download link removed. Due to lack of compatibility updates done on siyah kernel, the kernel doesn't natively support linaro 4.9, therefore it will not be stable
Jesse's Kernel (I am not good at naming sth.)

Guides:
HOW-TO FLASH THIS KERNEL:
1. Make sure TWRP is installed. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72004368&postcount=3)
2. Download the flashable zip from download section in OP.
3. Transfer the zip to your phone.
4. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
(for devs) HOW-TO PROPERLY INTEGRATE THIS KERNEL TO YOUR ROM:
1. Download the flashable zip from download section in OP.
2. Rename the downloaded zip to "jesse-kernel.zip".
3. Delete original boot.img of your ROM.
4. Place the zip to kernel (create if not exists) folder of your ROM.
Example Structure:
->META-INF
->->com
->->...
->system
->->app
->->priv-app
->->...
->kernel
->->jesse-kernel.zip
->...
5. Delete original kernel flashing lines from installation script (META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script) of your ROM.
tip: usually start with package_extract_file("boot.img" after "ui_print("Extracting boot image...");".
6. Add these lines to the installation script of your ROM:
Code:
ui_print("Installing Jesse's Kernel...");
package_extract_dir("kernel", "/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unzip", "/tmp/kernel/jesse-kernel.zip", "META-INF/com/google/android/*", "-d", "/tmp/kernel");
set_perm(0, 1000, 0755, "/tmp/kernel/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary");
run_program("/tmp/kernel/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary", "3", "1", "/tmp/kernel/jesse-kernel.zip");
ui_print("Jesse's Kernel Installed");
(for devs) Tips about kernel compile: (Note: NO technical support for such things. Inquires will be ignored.)
1. There is a kernel build script in my kernel. (build_kernel.sh)
2. Two variables must be specified before you can run it.
export $KERNEL_TOOLCHAIN=/path/to/your-toolchain/bin/toolchain-prefix-
export $KERNEL_DTBTOOL=/path/to/dtbtool/dtbhtoolExynos
3. If you are building for Galaxy S8 (dreamlte), run it with "bash build_kernel.sh dreamlte".
If you are building for Galaxy S8+ (dream2lte), run it with "bash build_kernel.sh dream2lte".
4. Default output dir is "../kernel_out". "dt.img" and "Image" will be generated.
That's what I'm talking about! Thank you!!
Thanks @jesec for this and twrp. Without u development would be so far behind

Great work mate :fingers-crossed:
State-wide provider blackout the very second i flashed. No worries!
Thanks for your hard work. Great job as always.

Got the same question.. I've installed it, but it doesn't seem to have any advanced governors, etc on board.
But still very nice to have the first kernel on!!!!!
Jesec, you're just great
Btw: does the name Jesse's kernel was chosen on purpose or just a mistake?

Per github commit, the big news here is that this kernel is permissive!
@jessec, you are totaly awesome:good:
Thank you for being here!
Update; appear kernel selinux is still enforcing
It is SELinux permissive. That enforcing is fake actually. (just let userspace think status change is successful)
Changelog: (May. 9th)
I fixed a bug of script. Now new build (May. 9th) should work fine on non-plus variants.
finally i can use ARISE completely. thx a lot
Great one. Many thanks. I will try and report.

Feels good to see development here, used to love ur work on GS7.
One question, where can I get the Magisk Flashable? I got it when flashed the ROM but I cant flash the ROM over the kernel or I will lose the kernel

WARNING :
This kernel is for Oneplus 5T (dumpling)
Code:
You will NOT void your warranty after flashing this kernel.
Be sure to make all necessary backups first before processing to installation.
I'am not responsible of any damage caused to your device or data lost after flashing this kernel.
Of course, these are only basic warnings ! but generally you'll not get any problem :)[/COLOR][/FONT]
Some reading..
Welcome to SimpleGX kernel ! a kernel that aims for simplicity, stability, better performance, smoothness and battery life over a pure stock kernel.
This kernel is designed for people who are (like me) bored to flash kernels which integrate tons of unneeded things.
Main goals of it is to stay MUCH closer to stock than every kernels shared here and almost not to be a “custom kernel” on its own. So beware, no exotic stuffs here !
No need for any third app or whatever to control this kernel. Just "flash-n-joy" ! this is how I always liked thing.
Keep in mind that this kernel has been designed for my daily use first.
As always, I'm enjoying sharing my contribution here on XDA for free, which taking me a lot of (my free) time to test before releasing. So, if you can offer me a little beer, it will be really appreciated!
This kernel must be only flashed over an official Oneplus 5T OxygenOS (OOS) ROM !
Feel free to include my kernel to your ROMs / threads but please don't forget to inform/ask first via PM and credit me properly in your original thread. It's always appreciated.
★ WHAT TO EXPECT ★ :
(over a pure stock kernel) :
Slightly better battery life

★ PREREQUISITE ★ :
An unlocked Bootloader
An Android Nougat/Oreo/Pie firmware (based on OxygenOS)
A custom recovery (TWRP recommanded), to flash the kernel
Optional : to control some kernel tweaks, you can install Kernel Adiutor)
★ SOURCE (up-to-date) ★ :
SimpleGX (normal version)
SimpleGX (ALS version)
★ INSTALLATION PROCEDURE ★ :
Backup everything you need (internal & external)
Unlock your bootloader
Flash your favorite TWRP recovery
Reboot to TWRP
Wipe both cache & dalvik partitions
Flash your full usual ROM/firmware (optional if you did not flashed any other custom kernel)
Flash SimpleGX kernel
Flash root (Magisk recommended but should work with SuperSU also)
Reboot and enjoy !
★ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ★ :
How can I update my SimpleGX kernel version ?
- Nougat: Just make a dirty flash over it. If there is a special thing to do, then it will be precised directly into the announce.
- Oreo/Pie: flash kernel and root right after (otherwise your device won't boot).
How can I go back to stock kernel ?
Just flash back your full usual rom/firmware back (flashing stock kernel is not enough since it does not brings stock modules back to the rom/firmware).
Is there a LineageOS (LOS) version of you kernel ?
No, and there won’t be any this time on OP5T.
Is your Oreo/Pie version compatible with custom ROM's (8.1.x) ?
No, only official OOS Oreo/Pie.
My battery is draining like hell, what's wrong ?
As @nathanchance perfectly said for his kernel: "The kernel doesn't drain any battery, use an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out what app is screwing with your phone".
Also, generally, I remarked that wiping cache+dalvik between updates may drain a lot for the percentage left and the first cycle. Anyway, be sure to make at least two full cycles (from 100% to 0%) before judging battery life for any kernel.
How to recover excellent battery life ?

Thanks will try it once the phone arrives. Love to see development starting
Thanks for this, I always prefer the near-stock experience with some much-needed tweaks. Flashed it on 4.7.2, boots fine, looks very smooth for now!
Keep up the good work!
Welcome to the party sir..! Look forward to your subtle and simple kernels builds..!
Welcome :highfive: i am happy to say that the most stable kernel was yours (op5) and great battery life thanx
Nice to see a new Kernel.
Thanks for your hard work!
Did you include any additional wake-up gestures?
Bug so far: Wifi disabled
Fixed
Not sure if I'm the only one or not, but it seems that I'm no longer able to adjust the brightness after installing your kernel. Other then that, everything else looks to be running pretty good.

Nope, sorry. I would like to stay as stock as possible, I prefer to let this kind of functions to real custom kernels

Strange, no problem of WiFi here, just tried to turn ON and connect to my home wifi and connected with success, internet test = OK :good:
Do you directly comes from another kernel ? (I would say blu_spark since we are only 2 for now on OP5T). I recommand you to revert back to stock kernel before flashing mine, and then re-test.

No problem also, just tried to slide from min to max and all is fine (progressive), tried with automatic brightness ON and OFF. Same as above, can you try to flash stock kernel/firmware back and then flash my kernel ? :highfive:

Yes, restored stock kernel and installed yours after an reboot fixed the bug
Tried to flash this kernel over oos and freedom room and keep getting error 1. What am I doing wrong?

Probably a bad download, check MD5 to be sure that it corresponds before flashing :good:

Your kernel was installed within 20 minutes of pulling my op5t out of the box, unlocking, and installing TWRP. I'll go ahead and do another full wipe/data format, see how that goes.

I tried it twice man and I'm flashing it on twrp like I would have on the op5 but only on the op5t. I even downloaded it twice.
Up and running smoothly. Great work!
Edit: No Wifi issues, but I have noticed that the brightness is the same from 25-100% and does not change.
