Features:
CPU Governor
bluactive - courtesy eng.stk
TCP Congestion Algorithms
enabled westwood, bic, hybla, vegas, veno, yeah, illinois
I/O Schedulers
added bfq and fiops
Built for use with STOCK ROMS - it's all we have right now
Built with gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu
Instructions:
you need an unlocked bootloader!
you need TWRP recovery!
you need to be running B140*
you need to know how to get back to a stock boot image, should you need to! - stock B140 boot attached.
if you don't know what all that means, find out, there's plenty of threads on it!
download UPDATE-ON-OR-Kernel.zip
install via TWRP
reboot
Kernel features can be enabled by apps such as Kernel Adiutor (ROOT)
If you want to enable settings on boot, you'll have to add the app to the protected apps and startup manager in system setting.
Notes:
please do not post elsewhere, link to this post.
i did not break your device, i never touched it!
this is my first publicly released kernel (i built some sony ones back in 2012 for my own usage) - i am not a dev, i am a linux admin by trade
a number of other governors were tried, none would compile "out of the box"
* tested on B140 only by me - if you want to test it on another system version just make sure you have a stock boot.img and know how to get back via fastboot!
edit: added attachment - stock B170 boot as someone will probably need it.
edit: the install method is not what i wanted. it's a crude hack, just like our twrp! it turns out the twrp version we are using is for the GRACE handset, so i've had to fudge the installer script to verify that device name. Please do not run this on a GRACE, it will break it!

enjoy.. :fingers-crossed:
All stock recovery and boot images for PLK-L01 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/stock-plk-l01-boot-recovery-images-t3290348
Added the [EXPERIMENTAL] tag - woke this morning and phone was in unwake-able sleep! - seems to be related to bluactive, so avoid using that governor!

Development ceased.
For those who are not aware of my troubles over the last month, I had to get a warranty replacement phone. Since receiving it, I have been completely let down by huawei who are unable to supply a bootloader unlock code by any means, or for that matter any genuine customer service. Due to this I can no longer continue to work on this device
My humble apologies to all you on this sub-forum. I was really enjoying learning and posting stuff for you guys to mess around with, although ultimately it's the manufacturer that has really let us down.

Great, good job !!! First etape for a custom ROM without the fu...ing EMUI
I can't test because I'm in B170

technically it's the same kernel version - 3.10.61
i need a volunteer with 170 who can load the zip, and if it fails to boot, reflash the stock B170 (both in the first post) - preferably someone who knows their way around fastboot and isn't going to panic

---

Great works!!
Can you post screenshot of dailyuse deepsleep with bluactive governor?
Seems that in stock kernel freq 400 mhz is slow to go on sleep.
Kernel set default cpu freq like mpdecision on qualcomm or there is a hotplug?
last question with kernel setting apk can you see core to 2200 mhz?
Sorry for question list.
Many thanks.

Tried without luck.

OK, thanks.
One more favour then
can one of you boot into TWRP, connect USB then from your PC do this..
Code:
adb shell
in the shell, get the results from these two commands:
Code:
~ # getprop ro.product.device
~ # getprop ro.build.product
must be from within TWRP
thank you

I've make a thread on FrAndroid (here : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/236632-kernellpstock-on-or-kernel/?p=3545366) in order that the community can improve their Honor 7.
If you want, i can delete it.

First Step to an Custom Rom. Thanks looks great.

Possibly answering my own question.. I pulled apart the Chinese TWRP from piskr's thread.
Code:
ro.product.device=gem703l
ro.build.product=gem703l
So, this recovery was built from the MediaPad X2 TWRP
Would be nice if someone can confirm this is what you're using.
I think what we really need is a proper recovery, get everyone standard instead of trying to work around inconsistent hacks!

sorry, I wasn't really clear.
download the STOCK_B140_BOOT.zip from the first post. extract it, plug the phone in
then run:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_140.img
fastboot reboot
as for the battery drain, what are the high users of battery?
mine has been mostly idle (using the G4 as my main), but it's still at 45% after 2 days 11 hrs
