Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you an unofficial port of the Z1
Pimped Kernel
This is a kernel for CM11 based ROMs and uses -caf. If your ROM isn't faily new and doesn't use -caf then don't expect this kernel to boot. It was built inside Carbon and I have tested in there, it should boot CM/FXF, SlimKat, LiquidSmooth, Carbon, Omni, etc. I don't know how well it will boot PA/PAC/etc that are further away from this codebase but you are welcome to try. As this is a first build so expect some FCs and reboots, and and not all features will work. Please read the OP to see what is on offer. Things that won't work are LCD/Touchscreen/DT2W, and others may be prone to bugs.
This has kernel is built with Linaro SaberMod Toolchain 4.7 and -O2 etc optimisations (not as many as the slimkat kernel). Performance seems good, and the ability to underclock/volt and turn off cores should give extra battery life.
Please don't use this unless you know how to get out of trouble/bootloops/non-boot/lost recovery/etc. I nor Androguide.fr take any responsibility for dead or undead Z-Ultras
Kernel features are controllable through Androguide.fr's Pimp My Z1 app, (thread here).

When I open camera directly after boot it works fine ,
when not I have also FC
Im using camera kk app and it works fine. Just first time camera is not moving (it stops on first "seen" frame), but it is on every kernel (maybe rom's, maybe app's bug) and after killing it in recent apps and starting again everything works fine
Strange for me is that this kernel has more governors etc, and i always thought that coz it we should have less ram, and there is more than ie unofficial slimkat kernel
Edot: Is there any chance for f2fs version in the future? Its a lot better than ext4, so it can make our ZUs fly even better than now

after a bit of flashing and testing the no outgoing calls is a bug in the test build of Carbon not this kernel so all is good on this front.
This kernel boots the last couple of Carbon builds, back to at least the 19/4 so that's another plus.
I'd not really had the camera issue that many people had had in the last few weeks on the CM based ROMs so it's sort of new for me.
You made it!!! Congrats and THANKS! Perhaps it's time I go back to a non-stock ROM now, just to try this kernel...
I found other problem (at least for me) with pimp my z1. I cant set 2nd core governor, coz it always return to intelliactive last saved? (im not sure as sometimes it stays on last saved sometimes on earlier), now, as i know how it works, its not the problem to set governor I want, but its strange bug. I would use trickster but there I cant set different governors for every core (As i found out set governor is only for first core)
EDIT: Maybe someone answers: What is Pen Mode in this app? If it is what I think we dont need it as our phone support mostly everything as a pen. The same for gloves i think
Has anyone tried this Kernel on CM11, if so any problems?

Next few things:
-
1. After reboot very often CPU governors are changed.
2. Additionaly to setting governors: They are setting itself. Before I set nightmare/nightmare/powersave/powersave and after going back to menu and againd CPU Control it was nightmare/<last saved?>/powersave/powersave. Now after reboot it was nightmare/nightmare/nightmare/nightmare (with per-core on) and after menu->CPU Control nightmare/intelliactive/powersave/powersave (intelliactive wasnt last saved or anything)
3. Sometimes after reboot Pimp my Z1 returns GPU settings to default ones
4. Power Managments, I/O tweaks, Memory managments too - Misc on the other hand are always remembered correctly
Yes I have "set on boot" on. Strage coz mostly (4/6 for now) everything is remembered correctly ie now after next "test" reboot

I'm wonder if it is more the app than the kernel?
I have managed to peg the first core at fill tilt once and another time to have all 4 core online all the time. The second issue can be solved by turning all the options off in Power Management, it's a known race condition by the looks.
~5% battery drain over night, but it looks like google services are causing wakelocks again on my ZU
Its hard to say coz there is bo more apps which can let to use most od options kernel has (ie trickstermod let set governor for all, i/o too for both memories). But i would think its app+phone compatibilty issue not kernel, but not sure about it

After first night it was worse for me - 13%. It coukd be coz kernel was just flashed ot coz my set up, but its too much
But this second core governor annoying.me too. I found out that if i set it few times it stay till sometime after reboot (just after reboot and getting su rights, governors are right(. Anyone has similar problem? Can moving app to system/app helps?

@RP74698: for daily use... Intelliplug or Alucard and yankactive... UKSM active... For battery auto_SMP or dyn_hotplug and zzmoove. For balance... Any other gov. GPU msm_adreno since it has the adreno idler by arter
@Tylog: I'm planning to add a sound control maybe faux's maybe not you'll see
Thanks to everyone for your comments!
What is UKSM active and how use this Sir
That's good Faux or whatever, only V4a is not enough for me, I need my music loud thanks.
Linux kernel has a feature named KSM(Kernel SamePage Merging). it lets the hypervisor system share identical memory pages amongst different processes or virtualized guests. However, it has its limitation such like high CPU usage and slow responses to workload change. So here comes UKSM. With a revolutionary algorithm redesign, UKSM has many advanced features:
Full system scan.*It automatically scans all user processes’ anonymous VMAs. Before UKSM, a process need to call KSM kernel API to submit its memory areas to KSM for scan. This makes many legacy software other than KVM can NOT benefit from KSM. Now, UKSM scans whole system applications including KVM. All programs benefit from UKSM without even knowing how it works.
Super quiet CPU usage.*It automatically detects rich areas containing abundant duplicated pages. Rich areas are given a full scan speed. Poor areas are sampled at a reasonable speed with very low CPU consumption usually under 1%. Our benchmarks show that even for CPU intensive workloads, it has a negligible performance impact. Ultra scan speed and CPU efficiency.*A new hash algorithm is proposed. More on this...UKSM info
Thanks!!
Where is allocated UKSM in your kernel and how activate this as I'm using kernel auditor app not seeing anywhere ,only seeing KSM and this is active by default .

Hi my friend.. This is UKSM on Kernel Aduitor (Kernel Same Page Merging), is active by default. Since it saves CPU cycles when merging files and making changes it will save battery and increase overall system performance. No need to activate it.
Thanks for your testing!
Thanks Sir

After Install: (Recommended)
Initial boot will boot twice.
Please allow about 15 minutes to boot up after initial boot. (Due to it being deodexed)
Recommended to wait up to five minutes on initial boot before doing anything, then do a full restart.
To get back Developer Options go in to Settings, About Phone and rapidly tap Build Number until it says your a developer.
Important Notes:
Yes there is static on boot.
For those who get stuck in a "TWRP LOOP" see here.
Don't ask if this will work on other variants I will ignore your question. I will not support other variants with this ROM, sorry. Sprint only. You can always flash it and find out.

Okay guys OBAR now contains its own kernel! So I want to give you a bit of information that may help you to decide how you want to set up it up! I will always keep this post updated with all the latest version release information. Will label dates next to each new update to show what is new!
I/O Scheduler Information - GPU:
FIOPS - This is an IOPS based I/O scheduler. It will try to distribute IOPS equally among all processes in the system. It's mainly for Flash based storage.
SIO - The Simple I/O scheduler is an extremely simple scheduler, based on noop and deadline, that relies on deadlines to ensure fairness. The algorithm does not do any sorting but basic merging, trying to keep a minimum overhead. It is aimed mainly for aleatory access devices (eg: flash devices).
NOOP - The no-op I/O scheduler is a minimal scheduler that does basic merging and sorting. Its main uses include non-disk based block devices like memory devices, and specialised software or hardware environments that do their own scheduling and require only minimal assistance from the kernel.
DEADLINE - The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact. It will provide CSCAN service with FIFO expiration of requests, switching to a new point in the service tree and doing a batch of IO from there in case of expiry.
CFQ - The CFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth equally among all processes in the system. It should provide a fair and low latency working environment, suitable for both desktop and server systems.
BFQ - The BFQ I/O scheduler tries to distribute bandwidth among all processes according to their weights. It aims at distributing the bandwidth as desired, independently of the disk parameters and with any workload. It also tries to guarantee low latency to interactive and soft real-time applications. If compiled built-in (saying Y here), BFQ can be configured to support hierarchical scheduling.
BFQIO - Enable hierarchical scheduling in BFQ, using the cgroups filesystem interface. The name of the subsystem will be bfqio.
ZEN - FCFS, dispatches are back-inserted, deadlines ensure fairness. Should work best with devices where there is no travel delay.
Governor Information - CPU:
Simple Ondemand - Chooses frequency based on the recent load on the device. Works similar as ONDEMAND governor of CPUFREQ does. A device with Simple-Ondemand should be able to provide busy/total counter values that imply the usage rate. A device may provide tuned values to the governor with data field at devfreq_add_device().
Performance - Sets the frequency at the maximum available frequency. This governor always returns UINT_MAX as frequency so that the DEVFREQ framework returns the highest frequency available at any time.
Powersave - Sets the frequency at the minimum available frequency. This governor always returns 0 as frequency so that the DEVFREQ framework returns the lowest frequency available at any time.
Userspace - Sets the frequency at the user specified one. This governor returns the user configured frequency if there has been an input to /sys/devices/.../power/devfreq_set_freq. Otherwise, the governor does not change the frequnecy given at the initialization.
Blu_active - This allows you to get a full dynamic cpu frequency capable system by simply loading your cpufreq low-level hardware driver, using the 'interactive' governor for latency-sensitive workloads.
Nightmare (NEW 5/15) - This is a PegasusQ modified, less aggressive and more stable. A good compromise between performance and battery. In addition to the SoD is a prevention because it usually does not hotplug.
Darkness (NEW 5/15) - It's based on nightmare but more simple and fast, basic configs but very complex structure. It is an updated nightmare gov and improved stability, so far it is quite stable in tests.
Chill (NEW 5/15) - Use the CPUFreq governor 'chill' as default. This allows you to get a full dynamic frequency capable system by simply loading your cpufreq low-level hardware driver. A conservative based governor that aims to provide more aggressive battery savings while screen is off.
Dance Dance (NEW 5/15) - Based on conservative with some smartass features, it scales accordingly to conservatives laws. So it will start from the bottom, take a load sample, if it's above the upthreshold, ramp up only one speed at a time, and ramp down one at a time. It will automatically cap the off screen speeds to 245Mhz, and if your min freq is higher than 245mhz, it will reset the min to 120mhz while screen is off and restore it upon screen awakening, and still scale accordingly to conservatives laws. So it spends most of its time at lower frequencies. The goal of this is to get the best battery life with decent performance. It is a performance focused governor but also blends with some battery savings.
Adreno Idler Information:
Enabled - Uses a different calculation method on top of Adreno TZ just for calculating frequency for idle to reduce the wasted power coming from stock Adreno TZ while maintaining high-performance.
Other Information:
Moved Core Control To Kernel - Moved core control from out-of-tree module into the kernel proper. Core control monitors load on CPUs and controls how many CPUs are available for the system to use at any point in time. This can help save power. Core control can be configured through sysfs interface.
Moved Core Control Trace Events To Scheduler
Added A Knob To Disable The core_ctl (Core Control) - The CPU hotplug tests does not work with core_ctl compiled statically into kernel. Provide an interface to disable the hotplug by core_ctl.
Enabled LZ4 Compression & Added ExFAT Filesystem
Fixed Various Issues

Thanks for the new ROM! Does this add back the stock LG gallery and music player, or are those still removed?

Mods are great, but I'd also be a fan of posting your base rom that is just the "stock features" you have listed above. A slim base version in addition to the modded out version basically.
Mods, mods, mods
So glad to see you over here on the sprint V20 Saint! You always put out great ROMs and you never disappoint! Looking forward to this one.
BTW, mod it up!
Thread closed temporarily at OP's request
Edit: Reopened at OP's request
Okay guys I was finally able to mod it up and make it a very worthy ROM. Enjoy!
Glad you found it useful, man.

I used to run OBAR on either my note 3 or 4.
Downloaded and excited to try it out - but loving classic rom to much to try it out just yet. Soon.
Thank You
Mod the daylights out of it!! I been dying for a good one like that WETA rom but cant use it. Im always dying to try something new tho
Running good on my v20. Nice and smooth. :good::good::good:

For STOCK
Hello every one, just sharing my kernel for the H990 so other people can also use it as well as it helps in finding out bugs and issues.
Now, I'm not really a super dev like franco or myfluxi or showp1998 or those other great guys , I'm just some guy who likes to have his device do what he wants and puts what he wants on his device as well as it being some sort of a hobby. came from the galaxy s3 T-mobile, & Xperia M which I've also compiled my kernels on and now here on the LG V20
I am a fan of KISS (keep it simple stupid) but i also want advanced features hence the PARADOX,
this kernel was forked from DOTS which is LGE V10G sources
FEATURES
Compiled with Linaro 7.2 toolchain
Upstreamed (as of posting Linux 3.18.102)
GPU OC - 652mhz, no CPU OC
AUTO SMP Hotplugging
Interactive governor (though it might change in the future) other governors removed
ROW io sched, other ioscheds removedAdreno idler
Adreno Boost
KCAL support
UKSM
CRC on/off (your choice if you want it switched off, allegedely gives a 30% boost)
FSYNC on/off (again your choice if you want it enabled or disabled for performance boost)
Dynamic Fsync ( if you want fsync operations to happen only when screen is off)
powersuspend driver
DriveDroid CD-ROM emulation (use your phone as a Windows10 or any OS for that matter as an INSTALLER)
Westwood as default TCP algorithim
boeflla wakelock blocker (use my version of kernel adiutor to access its settings)
Optimizartions here and there
more to be added soon
KERNEL MANAGEMENT APP IN SECOND POST
DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible for any damage what-so-ever done to your phone, as with any kernel, you accept this risk.
Known BUGS
using PPTP vpn's cause a kernel panic,
light bleeds from the 2nd screen to the main screen due to diffrences in brightness when using Backlight Dimmer
but still not bright enough to burn your eyes when you turn your phone on in your pitch black room
DOWNLOAD
see attachments
or here
INSTRUCTIONS/HOW TO
same as DOTS for 1st time rooting
Follow the instructions provided by emdroidle here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20...-h990-t3624296
At step 16, instead of typing fastboot reboot, just unplug the usb cable, remove battery, wait 5 sec, put the battery back and reboot the phone. This should limit the risk of static screen at reboot.
Once the kernel installed, update your phone to the latest KDZ for your region using KDZ Writer : https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20...riter-t3649818
1st TIME INSTALLING
PLEASE DELETE texfat.ko in /system/lib/modules folder using your root file manager of choice
or run
Code:
[STRIKE]rm /system/lib/modules/texfat.ko[/STRIKE]
after flashing in recovery
For those rooted with custom recovery just flash in TWRP

Tested rev 2 for 2 days and the phone is a bit warm, drains battery faster and not as responsive as rev 1 so I switch back to it waiting for rev 3. Anyway rev 1 works better for me than original Dots

its still the same as kernel adiutor app plus an interface to control boeffla wakelock blocker and a different name and icon
Started using rev3 since you posted it, coming form DOTS 1.4 on H990DS. Seems to be behaving a little better, running cool and having a bit better battery life (though some of this might be due to the post_boot.sh mod that's posted on this forum that I installed alongside your kernel). 0 issues encountered, auto rotation works fine.
*when i set backlight dimmer in my screen the edge of top right side lighter than other area.

Hi guys, im getting a hard time trying to make sixaxis app work, since the kernel loads bluetooth modules separatelly Im wondering if anyone can try sixaxis compatibility checker with this kernel.
Tried with dots and mk2000 with no luck. Weird sixaxis app works fine with other v20 like h910, h918 but on h990ds is a no go.
Sixaxis compatibility checker is free on the google store.
Thanks!

FAQ:
Need Help / Want to Help? Join the my Telegram Channel: @sz_kernel_angler
Is this kernel compatible with Android Pie (9.0)? It should work out of the box, however several users have reported boot freezes / loops on Pie. I haven't had a chance to test it fully in Pie and am still on Oreo myself. If you run into issues, try running with SELinux as permissive or reach out on Telegram.
Nice, gonna give this a run. Kudos for adding detailed instructions on your site.
Nice, was hoping for new kernel a long time
I would like to suggest the "Hima Hotplug" for your kernel, it is so fluid and great on battery life (experience from sphinx kernel for bullhead)

just wanted to say solid first public kernel. super smooth
Thank you for the new kernel,so far so good
Smooth so far, great job.
though is it just me or does the Settings app display "Unavailable" under Kernel version? EX Kernel Manager displays the kernel version just fine.
Maybe it has something to do with the presence of spaces in the kernel version name?

Yeah I agree, it is, by no means, a deal-breaker. I just wanted to point it out for newcomers because I sure had a grand time panicking over whether or not the installation went through.
Currently using this kernel with ABC rom, so far the best kernel ever, very smooth and good heat output

This does work on AOSiP. Stock ROM (and maybe others) it does not appear after tapping on "Kernel Version" in settings. As noted, third party apps like EX Kernel Manager and Kernel Auditor seem to display the kernel version correctly.
There are, in fact, spaces in LOCALVERSION in the config file. I'll add this under bugs in the second post and update when it's fixed.
PS: Glad you guys are enjoying it and to hear it runs smooth and cool! Usage stats for the 'battery' spectrum profile are in the updated OP. Testing the 'balance' profile now.
UPDATE 8/1: The 'kernel version' issues has been fixed. Notation is in second post and download link has been updated in OP.
This kernel kicks ass! Seriously, great work. One of my major complaints with the 6P was its over heating and then thermal throttling. I just didn't play certain games because of it. Now, after flashing this kernel it runs smooth and cool and games work again. Unreal. Truly love the way the phone works now. Not bad for battery life either but it's not my primary any more.

Good to hear! Did you use the Gaming spectrum profile? I'm don't use my phone for games so I didn't test that outside of synthetic benchmarks. Also, the Battery spectrum profile should give pretty good battery life as it's very conservative.
Spoiler: I'm working on maybe adding the chill or relaxed governors to test as well.
No profiles, just default settings. I usually run a week or two on default before I mess around just so I can tell the difference in the tweaks.
I might play around but this phone is just for messing about now, picked up the Essential on the Prime deal and quite like it so the 6P is not a daily driver.
Gotcha. FYI the balanced profile is enabled by default.

All the profiles are in my AnyKernel repo on GitHub. There are a total of 30 profiles from around the web even though the Spectrum App only uses those numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3. I include my built kernel zImage-dtb in the AnyKernel repo so that you can clone it yourself and apply a different profile "manually" if you like. Just change the number in ramdisk/init.spectrum.sh, zip it up, and flash it.
Code:
if [ ! -f /data/property/persist.spectrum.profile ]; then
setprop persist.spectrum.profile 0 # change this number
fi
Note, if you use this method, and later select a profile from the Spectrum App, the Spectrum App choice will override the initial one, including after reboot -- because it applies the settings once the user space is reached.
@savagezen thanks! Also, kernel link?? I must be missing it.. Is it in the OP?
