- Enabled dex for all hdmi connectors, thanks to kbarni (please test if it works fine)
Changelog IronKernel V1.0.3:
- First, sorry for another update lol
- @SAO and @farovitus notified me the kernel is slow on read speed. I was thinking about it and then it came into my mind that a linux update broke the read speed too on the s8. So this linux patch is now reverted and you should definitly feel a big difference in performance!
- Merged latest f2fs branch by @jaegeuk (which is the maintainer of f2fs). Currently you can only use f2fs on /data partition
Changelog IronKernel V1.0.4:
- One last bug (which only affects S8/S8+ and NOT the note 8): fixed iris scanner. I first though this was an issue with the roms but together with some testers we could fix this problem. This kernel should now be FULLY bug free on S8/S8+ devices. As said no update needed on the note 8
Changelog IronKernel V1.0.5:
- Fixed a bug that kernel wouldn't boot without flashing magisk/supersu

Changelog IronKernel V1.1.1:
- Disabled schedtune/schedutil governor thanks to @Noxxxious for the tipp. It has been said that it decreases batterylife
- Fixed selective focus on s8/s8+, background: the n8 uses a new dualcamera setup, after some researches I still thought we could fix it all in libs, but then even with all correct libs selective focus wasn't working on the s8/s8+. That's why I decided to use the s8 source code for the camera, and vala it works perfectly now :thumbsup:
Changelog IronKernel V1.1.2:
- Updated linux to most recent 4.4.96

Kernel Update
Changelog IronKernel V1.0.2:
- Updated ramdisk to AQI8
- Updated linux to latest 4.4.89
- Enabled dex for all hdmi connectors, thanks to kbarni (please test if it works fine)
Android File Host did still not apply the device request for the N8, so I decided to give you two choices (till they are ready).
1. Like before, download via grifo development thread
2. As second choice via devdb from XDA
As soon as android file host is ready I'll delete the files from here and upload them there :good:
Wish you a nice week and see you soon again

Thanks ?

---

Great!!

---

Man I can't wait for one of you great Roms.
Anything baking?

Infos about a Rom:
Yes I am working on a rom for the N8, that's a fact
It will take quite a while until it is adapted with a new design for IronMan (all icons, banners, animations need to be redone). Also all mods need to be reworked on the N8 UI.
Plus last but not least I want to release the rom for S8/S8+ too so we also need to fix all camera related problems (due to the fact the n8 has an updated camera).
All this will take time but as said above, a rom is coming! :highfive:

So stoke that you're here Luca! Looking forward to your ROM.
