[Kernel][harpia] Squid Kernel for Moto G4 Play - Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De
This is my "Squid Kernel" for the 2016 Moto G4 Play, codenamed harpia. It shares a common codebase with my kernels for osprey, surnia, and lux. It consists of the latest Motorola MSM8916 kernel, with all the latest changes from CodeAurora and Kernel.org merged in, along with select cherry-picks and additions of my own. Flash it using TWRP. Bug reports and contributions are welcome.
This kernel supports both the stock ROM and custom ROMs.
Disclaimer:
This is for the 2016 Moto G4 Play (harpia) only! Versions r22 and up are for Nougat ROMs with modern blobs only! Don't flash it on a previous Moto G, or surnia, or lux. This kernel is provided AS-IS, with no warranties. I am not responsible for bricking your device. Flash at your own risk.

Yes, all harpia variants running all Marshmallow ROMs (stock and custom) should work with r18. A Nougat-only version will be coming later once I bring CM14.1 to this device.
I'm trying it now. No issues so far.
Just in case, how I would I could go back to stock kernel?

@squid2, Your kernel is very good, is it possible to overlock?
Just wanted to say this kernel is amazing. Not sure how accurate the seetings for the battery are but it says I have 4 days remaining at 86%. Even if its half that its still a massive improvement, thanks for your devotion and work on the g series @squid2.
You are ruling the harpia forum.
Great job
For whatever it's worth, I installed BaseMark OS II and ran a before and after test of the Nov 8 kernel. It slowed down the memory a bit. The first four columns are stock and the last four columns are with the Nov 8 kernel.

For such a big hit to the memory score, it didn't affect the rest all that much. I wonder if there isn't some boost in battery life that I'm not sure how to measure. I didn't notice much warmth from the phone while running the benchmark, but I didn't really make a good test of that. If the battery life is xx% better, then it's a choice of what you value.
Please don't take this as being negative. I really appreciate the chance to try this out. Keep going Squid! I'm dying to see the CM's going on this phone!!
Hello @squid2 sir
I can't find any undervolting commit on github
Can you help me find it ?
Sent from my Motorola Moto E using XDA Labs
Should I be seeing better battery life when compared to stock? Because it looks to be worse (higher consumption when using, like wifi browsing). Do I have to change the governor?
Also, if I switch back to stock kernel, do I have to reset something (like some settings)?
I guess that the kernel wasn't the differentiating factor, as I just got similar performance as with stock - 3 days standby and 10 hours screen on time.

No need for setting anything when going back to stock kernel.
I'm wondering if this kernel makes it possible to use the white battery LED as notification LED?
To me the G4 Play's only flaw is not having a notification LED, but an "battery is being charged" LED... Very odd.
yeah this would be cool

I second this. I found it really odd how it's charging only, but not for notifications. I really would love to see if anyone could incorporate a notification light setting
Is the carging led somewhere at the bottom left of the phione? I can see something beneath the glass (looks like the proximity sensor), but mine is not lighting up when charging...

It's in the slightly on the bottom left side when plugged in. Surprised me the first time I installed CM after running stock for a little while, I didn't see a setting in the stock rom for it.
VPN disconnect reboot
I found a reproducible bug that causes a reboot with the r18 kernel. When using the built-in Android VPN feature the phone reboots as soon as I click disconnect. I tested with the stock kernel and it works fine, also tested with and without SuperSu. Phone is a xt1607 running stock ROM 6.0.1. The VPN type is PPTP.

Devs who look at ICS Source. Look here!
So we have a portal writer that has written multiple articles on the stuff I made and the stuff we've been doing. He asked us for more info on the Amaze source so he can write about it and help us get more recognition. Don't believe me? Look for yourself. https://twitter.com/PoorCollegeGuy/status/222516466711396352 So can you say what new changes have been made. Did HTC make it harder on us to hack it? Did they not release anything we need? anything so we can get this published. Write it all here and I'll pass the link to this thread to him when we get responses. Please, only respond here with information on source. NOTHING ELSE! I want to keep it nice and clean here.
Well my understanding is the wi-fi drivers are there they just commented out what we need to build it and a compat-wireless modules that they didn't include but i found another way to get it working just fine

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium Click to expand... Click to collapse Yeah, it appears that they commented out the building of the wl12xx drivers, but the stock ICS does have wl12xx modules. The evidence (commentd out makefile, presence of compat.ko, wl12xx.ko, wl12xx_sdio.ko, etc.) points to HTC using a version of compat-wireless drivers, but which one, I don't know. I also don't know if HTC made any modifications to the wireless drivers, but if they did, they'd be obligated by the GPL to release the updates. Since the tweaks sportsstar used to get wifi work in his kernel worked, that means that we should have everything we need on the kernel side of things, we just need to get and build the proper version of compat wireless. I also wonder if we need to match the version of compat-wireless with the binary firmware blob from TI. In all the work building different versions of compat-wireless, it could be we also need the proper firmware.

When I get my amaze this week my plan is to try a few different firmware from ti. I think you're right about needing to swap out the blobs. If this is the case then it should make things pretty easy.

I don't think that should be an issue (ie. doubt HTC had modifications) as I think that modules function is to interface with the other drivers (wl12xx, etc.) to the current kernel version. The rest are GPL and therefore HTC must release the source for it.
oryan_dunn said: They are all GPL with the exception of compat.ko being dual licensed. Click to expand... Click to collapse I'm not perfectly clear on dual licenses, so it should be posed to FSF, but from what I understand, it allows the code to be compatible with GPL and BSD projects. However, if used in a GPL project, I believe the GPL portion of the license is what takes effect, since the BSD portion is not compatible with the GPL project. A quote from Linus Torvalds: "This is no different from the fact that we have some drivers that are GPLv2/BSD licensed. Within the kernel, they are GPLv2. But on their own, you can choose to use them under the BSD license, make your changes to them, and release them commercially. And correct - I cannot (and neither can anybody else) then accept those *non*GPLv2 changes back." Click to expand... Click to collapse I'm having trouble with "on their own" and "within the kernel".
I guess this simply means that if the modules are released within a kernel like a single entity then it has to be GPLv2 but if the module's source is not released as "part of the Linux kernel" but just like "a module to make that piece of hardware working with the Linux kernel" then it can be released under BSD license.

Sent from my HTC_Amaze Click to expand... Click to collapse The only module that's dual licensed is the compat.ko module, not the actual driver files, which are all still GPL. I assume that if HTC did make modifications to compat.ko, that they'd have to update the license to say BSD and not BSD/GPL. I believe all the code in compat-wireless is from the kernel itself, just a newer version, that you compile for an older kernel. On another note, I am supposed to get a call from HTCdev escalation on the GPL driver issue. I wonder if the person who will call me will actually know what's going on, or if it will just be the generic customer support escalation team.

Click to collapse I'm still fuzzy on dual licensing, but seeing that HTC released the module as dual licensed (GPL/BSD), doesn't that allow the user to decide the license? So, if you decide that it is GPL, shouldn't they release the source for it? oryan_dunn said: On another note, I am supposed to get a call from HTCdev escalation on the GPL driver issue.

Just a heads up, we are going to have an article written on this soon. Our portal writer is going fix up some small kinks and then we will hopefully have more exposure and support.

I ended up talking to HTC this weekend. It was as I expected, some guy who couldn't really do anything, but he listened and wasn't really all that hostile. He said he'd pass it on to the dept responsible. I told him that HTC was oblicated to release the source for all GPL code and that they need to release it the day the executable code is in the hands of customers. We'll see if it leads anywhere.

My response from HTC was that they were using proprietary drivers. Even still since the source is available from Texas it should be possible to use their code if we swap out the firmware. May have to do some calibrations and build our own WPA_supplicant though. Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

nice work bro

how about flashing to twrp.?
Very nice work Your work is pretty unappriciated but I really liked this kernel, but can you put minimum gpu freq around 300mhz I think it's possible to do that cause when I watch some videos it drains faster because it uses the OC Gpu freq
