​​
Lambda Kernel was my development start point in the LG G2 glorious period, now you're looking at a new "horizon of possibility" for the LeEco device family. This Kernel has been written from scratch since January 2017, resulting in a small, polished and minimal core that's migratable across Kernel revisions.
It follows the flash n' go principle, everything packed in the Kernel is already tweaked and ready to be used as a daily driver for everyone.
The downloads, contributors and source code are at the bottom of this post, it is recommended to read everything before flashing.
DEVEL: My own testing builds for certain features and tests. They aren't normally shared, although sometimes I publish them. If you see one of them, don't forget they are recommended for advanced users/developers only because of their potential changes that must be debugged before publishing a WEEKLY version.
WEEKLY: They are closer to the proper release version but still can have some errors or bugs to be reported and tested, they should be generally stable.
SNAPSHOT: That's the version for the ones that don't want their devices to be lab rats for new features and staging changes. I don't know whether or not to say something is stable enough to be a SNAPSHOT but if you see one it's because it's been sometime running well.
Pretty straightforward once you get used to it, isn't it?
A general panorama for Lambda Kernel, always matching the latest release, in this case the WEEKLY from 09-15-2018.

Q. How to install this Kernel?
A. Download the version you'd like to use and flash using a custom recovery like TWRP.
Q. What ROMs does this Kernel support?
A. It should support all versions of Android 8.1, being it CAF based.
Q. Does this Kernel support Treble ROMs or GSIs?
A. No, at the moment the /vendor mount point is not present and thus it's not supported.

Hey! This kernel works only on EUI right?

Yes, this is for EUI at the moment.
XDA has had a little problem I guess or I have pressed the button to apply my XDA DevB project while it was spinning for more than a minute, wow! If any moderator can delete the other threads I appreciate, sorry for the inconvenience.
EDIT: 502 Bad Gateway but it posted, somehow.

Heyyo, congrats on the kernel project GalaticStryder!

Yeah it's weird... it's definitely an XDA Forum bug. Happens even on edits. I've made the same mistake by accident too a month or two ago so they haven't fixed it yet I guess...

Thanks, I'd like to update the thread on what the new version of today has but I'll wait a bit, it's just a classic (CAF) Kernel for EUI with patched battery phandle and faster charging compared to stock but still safe, same constants just a little faster due to updates and fixes I made in charger code.
Hope I can update this and the Pro3 thread as soon as possible with the new stuff.

---

@GalaticStryder highly appreciated that you chose to work on this device, really looking forward for this kernel to expand its compatibility to all roms, God speed!!

Working on eui 5.8 16s? Please tell me

Backup your boot partition and flash it over, I've only tested it on 26S but on Pro3 my Kernel ran on all versions I tested. Make sure you're not encrypted otherwise it won't flash (Indian 16S for example), to get rid of encryption you'd flash the latest Chinese version or one that is based on it.

My leeco set has this strange color calibration issue-its very warm and yellowish- due to which I don't use stock roms. I also am able to use only those custom ROMs which have color calibration or kcal built in. Is it possible to implement kcal support in your kernel? Thanks a lot.

---

Wow! It's awesome... Great kernel...

Can you check if there is an option in kernel auditor titled as screen which has color calibration?

Same for me. But most people keep saying I am wrong. Not kcal, default color calibration in kernel should be changed, because it's invalid.

Could you dump what type of panel you have got and variant? Mine seems to be fine (truly) but I see the panel calibration has a few faults on the others from stock itself, and both open sourced codes for Max2 and Pro3 are the same regarding the panel, no updates.
Need to boot the stock Kernel again and dump all I can from Kernel logs or... reverse engineering.

---

If it is not excuse to ask, will be there any updates for Lambda Kernel for LG G2 ever?

Truly I guess. Screenshot:
I'm on Lineage 15.1 currently. To get it white I need to set LiveDisplay 9700K. Default color calibration looks terribly wrong.
Btw is your kernel suitable for Lineage 15.1? Or it''s for EUI only.

---

BTW, works perfectly on Le Max 2 Small eUI V18.
My screen seems yellowish cuz I turned on Reader Mode.
If turned off, my screen is white enough

---

Hey thank you so much for your kernel. I can't use EUI ROMs because when quick charge is on it never charges more than 1000mH.. But on custom ROMs I can charge my phone even with 4000mH. It's a life saver sometimes.. Does your kernel provide this feature for the EUI @GalaticStryder?

What is the battery life with this kernel?
