Introduction
NOTE: This kernel is currently not being updated. Please use another more up to date one if possible.
Hello everyone, this is my personal kernel for the Pixel (sailfish) and Pixel XL (marlin). While I am not a super star kernel developer, I do know my way around it. My philosophy on kernels is pretty simple:
Follow stable Linux always. Updates will be delivered within 24 hours of their release to kernel.org.
Stable kernel rules work best (only add small things when possible).
Security and stability are paramount. Vulnerabilities are patched as soon as they are disclosed.
Features will be added only as needed (I have a list of things in the FAQ I will NOT add, even if requested).
Hopefully you enjoy
Important thread information!
I refuse to acknowledge/respond to bug reports that do not include clear steps to reproduce, a logcat, and a console ramoops (if random rebooting) or a dmesg (any other issues). Follow this guide to do this.
Keep things civil, I do NOT tolerate flaming of any kind.
OT is allowed.
Features
Here are the major features of the kernel (feel free to explore Github)
Up to date with the October security update (android-9.0.0_r0.21)
Up to date with the latest stable Linux version (3.18.125)
Latest binder and sdcardfs commits from kernel/common
Several subsystems converted to use power efficient workqueues
Mainline improvements to CFQ
Kernel hardening from CopperheadOS
Westwood as the default congestion algorithm
Sultanxda's wake boost driver
The following user facing features:
Backlight dimmer
Color control
HBM
Maple I/O scheduler
Sound control
USB fast charging
Wake gestures
Wakelock blocking
Vibration control
Latest WireGuard snapshot (0.0.20181018)
Built with a self compiled Clang 7.0 toolchain with a local initialization sanitizer
Hides bootloader unlock from SafetyNet (can still fail through other means)
Available to flash with AnyKernel2 (thanks to @osm0sis) [zip will automatically detect when Magisk is installed and patch the kernel so reflashing Magisk becomes unnecessary]
Downloads
Primary: https://github.com/nathanchance/marlin/releases
NOTE: Although the kernel's name is Marlin, it is for both Marlin and Sailfish (fully unified).
Installation
NOTE: These sets of steps should work for both initial installations and upgrades. All sane kernels on this device are just replacing the kernel image and maybe adding some cmdline parameters, which this kernel won't care about. If there are ANY issues after flashing this kernel over another, be sure to flash the stock boot image for your ROM, TWRP + Magisk if you want them, then the kernel before reporting any issues.
Through TWRP:
See their instructions for further information, you can install the kernel with TWRP temporarily booted or permanently installed.
Boot into TWRP.
Flash the zip (flashing Magisk is not necessary if you already have it installed).
Reboot and enjoy!
Through FK Kernel Manager (requires root):
Download the zip (and optionally, the md5) from my server
Tap on "Manual flasher"
Navigate to Download
Tap on the zip, select Auto-flash, and choose one of the options.
Reboot and enjoy!
NOTE: On custom ROMs, you must do a reboot between installing the ROM and installing the kernel/Magisk on a clean flash otherwise you may end up in a bootloop...

Frequently asked questions
1.1 Q: I am having an issue, can you help me?
1.1 A: I am not an amazing kernel developer but I will certainly try my best. First, start by reading the release posts, as I may make note of a particular issue. Also search the thread to see if I have discussed it before. If you see nothing, please provide me with a dmesg/last_kmsg and logcat, your ROM/kernel version, and a detailed description of the issue, following this guide. If I can't reproduce reliably, I'm not going to fix the issue.
1.2 Q: Can you add xyz feature?
1.2 A: If you link me the commits or tell me what kernel you had the feature in, I can take a look at them. I will not go digging super hard for commits and I will ignore requests that don't include this information. I won't promise that I will merge every request but I will always take it into consideration. I will NOT add the following:
Overclocking or underclocking of CPU or GPU
Undervolting
Any governors other than sched/schedutil
Any schedulers other than cfq
Anything that compromises performance
1.3 Q: How do I control the kernel?
1.3 A: I want to be very clear: the kernel does NOT need to be tuned to be useful. Most of the improvements are under the hood and don't require any user intervention to take advantage of them. In fact, if you don't know what you are doing, you could degrade the experience.
To control the user visible features of the kernel listed above, I recommend using either @franciscofranco's FK Kernel Manager (which has Flash Kernel support for downloading and automatically flashing the latest kernel zip along with some nice, user friendly ways for tuning the kernel) or @flar2's EX Kernel Manager.
1.4 Q: OMFG MY BATTERY SUXXXX PLS FIX!!!
1.4 A: The kernel doesn't drain any battery, use an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out what app is screwing with your phone.
Thanks to:
The various other developers for their patches
@osm0sis for AnyKernel2
@franciscofranco for adding Flash Kernel support to FK Kernel Manager
@phantom146 for the thread banner
All of you guys for viewing the thread
A note about donations
Quite a few people have asked to donate to me in the past and I have turned them down. I am not in this for the money, this is my hobby, something I truly enjoy. If you truly want to donate to something (it is not expected in the slightest), I recommend an entity like the Open Source Initiative, the Free Software Foundation, XDA, or any one of the people I have thanked in the OP. Additionally, you are free to copy any and all of my work; the only thing I request is that you not ask for donations as well (though I can't really enforce this lol). Thank you.

You may notice the feature list is a little bare. I wanted to get a nice solid base formed first then add features in as requested. Please read the thread before requesting a feature; if it is already present, just press thanks.
In theory, this should work on P as I have merged the source in. I have only tested on Oreo though.

Awesome! Thank you Nathan...

Add KCAL Color Control and I'm in. All I've wanted for so long is a stock like stable kernel with KCAL so I can tweak the display!
I ran your flash kernel the short time it was available for my old Nexus 6, happy to see this kernel here.

Thank you for bringing this to marlin!!

Was looking at your taimen post and was thinking to myself I wish we had this on sailfish/Marlin. Can you add schedutil?

I tried another kernel on Android P preview 2 and had some problems. You noted that this kernel includes the source links for preview 2. The other I think only had preview 1. Would there be a difference?

Yes although I don't know how much offhand.

@nathanchance I haven't had a change to flash this yet, I really enjoyed this from my 6P days. Can you tell me if HBM and backlight dimmer are available? If not, could I request them? Any wakelock blocks available? Possibly fingerprint scanner boost--NSFW Kernel has this.
Thanks, I was really missing Flash Kernel

I'll add HBM, backlight dimmer, and wakelock blocking. I'll take a look at fingerprint scanner boosting; however, the few implementations I have seen floating around lately seem like they don't work well.

Something occurred to me, the stock power HAL on this device doesn't support schedutil. Custom ROMs can add support easily so I'll still add it but I won't set it as default.

Running the Beta right now. So far no issues. Thanks for adding Kcal! I wanted to ask about the wq_power_savings option. What the heck does that do?

Here is a nice technical article from LWN: https://lwn.net/Articles/731052/
The tl;dr is these tasks get placed whenever is optimal rather than on a specific CPU core.

Hello everyone, after long studying both kernel and ROMs, I've decided to start building a ROM of my own.
Download
It is recommended to use F2FS.
Recovery - Wipe - advanced wipe - Select internal card - FS options - Check F2FS and swipe.
Remember that you'll loose everything on your internal memory.
Partition configuration i recomend for best speed:
cache --> F2FS
Internal Data -->F2FS
System --> EXT4
Features:
Updated SQL to 3.22.0
New Kernel
Proguard 6.0
F2FS ready for data and cache
ColorOs Blobs (much better quality) -Coming soon
latest webp
root
Compiled with device specific clang and gcc.
More coming soon
I'm a very practical user, and my aim will be to get a very fluid stable system, at the same time with speed and battery, keeping most stock possible with the optimizations which will improve for real our experience.
Thanks
What works for now:
Everything

Join out Google+ community
Big thanks to @RobbieL811 for the patience and help he provided to create these builds.
Thanks also for the experience i won with @ak @savoca @Lord Boeffla @ZaneZam by discussing and learning about the kernel. Big thanks to @dorimanx. Thank you @franciscofranco for commits to improve kernel!

Frequently asked questions:
You problably wondering why i say is CAF+Google+CM. It's in fact very easy... and i have seen many threads which mislead the interpertation. Google provides AOSP+ kernel patches for the nexus devices which are for our chipset.
Qualcom provides CAF changes which is over linux kernel changes and google changes. (in other words kernel is linux based and frameworks/art/bionic are based on the google stuff which is also based on linux)
We still have CM changes.
So basically how it works? i'll simplify
We use Google as base which includes CAF changes and CM changes... and with this ROM... jgcaap changes
Flashing instructions:
1) Firmware (I'll keep updated always when necessary.)
2) ROM
3) Slim Gapps (don't flash any other)
4) Let me know how it go.
Notes:
1) keep new modem which is on the op, also compatible with oxygen modem (I'll upload)
2) flash rom after rebooting recovery
3) kernel development will be 4.03 and upward.
So why Add CAF on some roms at tittle?
Basically is linux kernel with CAF changes without google or CM changes on kernel (and kernel only)
But let me add you some knowledge here. What you call CAF is in fact Oxygen OS kernel. In other words, what Devs which have on title CAF which is related to 3.4.0 kernel is in fact linux+CAF+Oxygen OS.
Oxygen OS changes is only compatible with blobs which are from oxygen OS, and we do not use it. So because of that, the rom problably won't boot in case you flash a "CAF" kernel
Why some Devs use the called CAF and some CM source?
Depends on preference. I prefer CM because i believe is the best not only on performance but also never had issues with it. But there might be different experiences regarding the phone you have since we all have different batches. There are devs which believe that compability issues might be related to some CM commits. As also, there are devs which think the other way around.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What changes have you made between versions?
A: All changes made are the same as CyanogenMod ROM which can be found here: http://www.cmxlog.com/13/bacon/ and all manual changes will be also stated on 2nd post.
You can also check on Settings --> About where is all the changes .
Q: What is LZ4?
A: Read here about the project: https://github.com/Cyan4973/lz4
Q: Was latest build used LZ4?
A: This is still under testing and I'm working on it. It'll be on the test folder.
Q: What is the test folder?
A: Unstable, and test builds where I seek to study a new configuration to enhance user experience.
Q: Why don't you always share change logs?
A: Limited time. Sorry about it.
Q: I'm confused. I have no clue which build is the latest!
A: You can always download again!
Q: Your site have ads why?
A: Need help on extra wealth to survive. Leave some clicks while you visit is only nice.
Q: I want more from the rom!
A: Me too!
Q: Why you sometimes ignore users?
A: I never ignore, just don't have time to answer all. Please help one another and also use search button. I think you prefer me learning to bring something nice than post all the time right? hehe
Q: I have so many questions to ask you!
A: I can provide many answers! Just ask!
Q: Can I PM you?
A: Only when is urgent!
Q: How to report bugs?
A: Our bugs are CM bugs. Report on JIRA: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org
Q: Are you CyanogenMod maintainer?
A: No, just an user which wants to have better builds possible. But would be nice to see CM adding me to the contributions list.
Q: Which Firmware do you use?
A: Download here: http://download.jgcaap.xyz/files/oneplusone/firmware/ as I'll provide the firmware there.
Q: Why Slim gaaps? Open Gaaps are so much cool!
A: Open Gaaps has provided many unstable issues which makes the phone unusable until a clean format. Slim gaaps have shown to be better on that.
Q: Why some buttons of UKM don't work?
A: Need time to improve that..
Q: I want an update app to auto update roms. To lazy to check the thread!
A: I understand, for now is not feasible to do it as I need time to analyse and understand best solution as I update tool-chains regularly and also is not my priority. Remember time is limited for me.
Q: Why picture is upside down?
A: Ask the app developer to fix it as it mounts incorrectly.
Q: But upside down is from stock app you have on rom?
A: You problably changed kernel. Either use stock or a version which supports the find7 blobs.
Q: Why does the Rom charge slow ? Please add quick charge feature!
A: Quick Charge is not available for our device, what is available is the option to lower or increase the mAh input of the charger, which will lead to a slower or faster charging process. This has been lowered to save the battery lifetime, because if you heat to much the battery the acids start to become basic and loose it's capacity to store electricity. But you still have the option to change this by flashing UKM (which is available on the server) and by installing synapse. Here is another thing I like to avoid:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/OnePlus-One-bursts-into-flames-while-charging-in-India_id84509
Q: Why not overclock?
A: Two reasons. One it damages the device. Second makes it heat, and if you read the answer before this question, you'll understand easily that it'll stress battery and make it loose its battery lifetime faster. as also it'll degrade the inboard components faster. Remember your phone is not a toy and there can be other damages done.
Q: Are you responsible for any damages we take?
A: Everything is tested, and I use it daily. If you have any damages you can only contact the company OnePlus to see if the warranty covers it. I am not responsible for any damages you have with your device.
Q: Can you add a bunch of features to kernel ? I want 20 schedulers!
A: Kernel has to be small. So i'll only add the necessary.
Q: Can you compile with O3? Or Just Archi? I heard is super cool.
A: Already was on that path and quickly learned that the force of the light is the way. May the force be with you.

Broken
Phone (instant reboot)
Camera (can't connect)
Limited button rebinding (Some work.. ?*Recents, voice search, search, and screen off only.. ?*The rest are broken)
Battery customization
Screen off gestures (haptic feedbacktriggers, but no action)
lock clock widget (trying to set up weather FC's)
What works
The rest..
Remember, this is an alpha build...
Don't ask for sot
Don't ask for features
Don't report bugs without logs or details on how to reproduce them..
Don't dirty flash from another CM ROM!!

Thanks but I'm looking for different options, 241 doesn't work as good as H2OS firmware for me. The download site contains a different firmware so I hope that we can choose between different packages.

Introduction
As of July 11th, 2018, this kernel has been discontinued as I have sold the device. Since I don't recommend using a kernel that is not constantly updating, I suggest looking at RenderZenith if you are on OxygenOS or Singularity if you are on a custom ROM.
Hello everyone, this is my personal kernel for the OnePlus 5T. While I am not a super star kernel developer, I do know my way around it. My philosophy on kernels is pretty simple:
Follow stable Linux always. Updates will be delivered within 24 hours of their release to kernel.org.
Stable kernel rules work best (only add small things when possible).
Security and stability are paramount. Vulnerabilities are patched as soon as they are disclosed.
Features will be added only as needed (I have a list of things in the FAQ I will NOT add, even if requested).
Hopefully you enjoy
Couple of quick notes for this thread: I do not currently own a OnePlus 5T (I own a OnePlus 5) but I have a couple of reliable testers and the tree is unified so there should be no issues. Since the builds are unified, the zip name and kernel version will show OP5.
Important thread information!
I refuse to acknowledge/respond to bug reports that do not include clear steps to reproduce, a logcat, and a console ramoops (if random rebooting) or a dmesg (any other issues). Follow this guide to do this.
Keep things civil, I do NOT tolerate flaming of any kind.
OT is allowed.

Flashed with AnyKernel2 (thanks to @osm0sis)
Downloads
Primary: https://github.com/nathanchance/op5/releases
NOTE #1: FOR THIS DEVICE, ONLY 3.x AND ABOVE ARE COMPATIBLE, MEANING NO NOUGAT SUPPORT!!
NOTE #2: The newer builds of 3.x and 4.x are unified! The zip will dynamically detect if you are on OxygenOS or a custom ROM and flash the correct kernel image.
NOTE #3: 3.x is for OOS 5.x 8.0, 4.x is for OOS 5.x 8.1
Installation
Through TWRP:
If you are on stock:
If you are on the stock kernel: flash the kernel zip and reboot
If you are on a custom kernel: flash the stock boot image matching your build number, flash the kernel zip, and reboot. I would also recommend dirty flashing the latest OOS zip as well.
If you are on a custom ROM:
If you are on the kernel that came with your ROM: flash the kernel zip and reboot
If you are on a custom kernel: dirty flash your ROM zip, flash the kernel zip, and reboot
Upgrading from one Flash version to the other:
Just flash the kernel zip and reboot
Through Franco Kernel Manager (requires root):
Getting back to stock if necessary (only needed if coming from another kernel):
Grab the latest stock boot image from the OTA zip.
Click on "Manual flasher", select the boot image, and select "Just Flash".
Reinstall Magisk through Magisk Manager (Install -> Direct Install).
If on stock or upgrading from another Flash release:
Download the zip (and optionally, the md5) from the link above
Tap on "Manual flasher"
Navigate to Download
Tap on the zip, select Auto-flash, and choose one of the options.
Reboot and enjoy!

Frequently asked questions
1.1 Q: I am having an issue, can you help me?
1.1 A: I am not an amazing kernel developer but I will certainly try my best. First, start by reading the release posts, as I may make note of a particular issue. Also search the thread to see if I have discussed it before. If you see nothing, please provide me with a dmesg/last_kmsg and logcat, your ROM/kernel version, and a detailed description of the issue, following this guide. If I can't reproduce reliably, I'm not going to fix the issue.
1.2 Q: What ROMs are compatible with the custom builds?
1.2 A: As of March 14th, 2018, I have confirmed the following ROMs are 100% compatible with Flash:
LineageOS
Dirty Unicorns
Codename: Phoenix
GZOSP/Validus
OmniROM
AICP
If you are using a ROM with no issues, let me know and I'll add it here! If you are having issues, following the above steps and I'll attempt to fix whatever incompatibility there is. If I can't do it without breaking LineageOS/Dirty Unicorns, you're out of luck.
1.3 Q: Can you add xyz feature?
1.3 A: If you link me the commits or tell me what kernel you had the feature in, I can take a look at them. I will not go digging super hard for commits and I will ignore requests that don't include this information. I won't promise that I will merge every request but I will always take it into consideration. I will NOT add the following:
Overclocking or underclocking of CPU or GPU
Undervolting
Any governors other than interactive
Any schedulers other than cfq and maple
Anything that compromises performance
1.4 Q: How do I control the kernel?
1.4 A: I want to be very clear: the kernel does NOT need to be tuned to be useful. Most of the improvements are under the hood and don't require any user intervention to take advantage of them. In fact, if you don't know what you are doing, you could degrade the experience.
To control the user visible features of the kernel listed above, I recommend using either @franciscofranco's Kernel Manager for Franco Kernel (which has Flash Kernel support for downloading and automatically flashing the latest kernel zip along with some nice, user friendly ways for tuning the kernel) or @flar2's EX Kernel Manager.
1.5 Q: OMFG MY BATTERY SUXXXX PLS FIX!!!
1.5 A: The kernel doesn't drain any battery, use an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out what app is screwing with your phone.
1.6 Q: I am not getting notifications on OOS, what is the cause?
1.6 A: This could be for a couple of reasons. If you haven't already, disable advanced optimizations in Settings > Battery > Battery optimization > Three menu dots. Another reason may be that I ship a compiled Wi-Fi module. I do this for two reasons: I want to have the latest fixes and I enable CONFIG_MODULE_SIG, which checks the signature of a module before loading it for security reasons. This could introduce some incompatibility with OOS, which is something I have no control over.
Thanks to:
The various other developers for their patches (specifically @zx2c4 for WireGuard and @joshuous for fixing the notification delay on Wi-Fi)
@osm0sis for AnyKernel2
@franciscofranco for adding Flash Kernel support to Kernel Manager for Franco Kernel
@adinkwok for being a bro
@phantom146 for the thread banner
All of you guys for viewing the thread
A note about donations
Quite a few people have asked to donate to me in the past and I have turned them down. I am not in this for the money, this is my hobby, something I truly enjoy. If you truly want to donate to something (it is not expected in the slightest), I recommend an entity like the Open Source Initiative, the Free Software Foundation, XDA, or any one of the people I have thanked in the OP. Additionally, you are free to copy any and all of my work; the only thing I request is that you not ask for donations as well (though I can't really enforce this lol). Thank you.

[Kernel 3.18.122][Android 8.1.0] Lambda Kernel for the Le Max 2 [Weekly][09/15]

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.
HOT ↠ Source-code changes for Lambda Kernel.
COLD ↠ Environment changes for Lambda Kernel.
Latest Kernel Common 3.18 from Google's upstream HOT
Latest LA.UM.6.5.r1-09300-8x96.0 Kernel source base from CAF's upstream HOT
Latest LA.UM.6.5.r1-09300-8x96.0 Wi-Fi driver from CAF's upstream HOT
Compiled with Clang 7.0 and assembled with GCC 7.2 HOT

Read this twice before flashing/posting!
Cod. 000:
State: Placebo!
Priority: Urgent.
Overview: The thread is under construction here as well.
Read this twice before flashing/posting!
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.

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.

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!!

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...

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?

Fix placebo tweaks blocker!
General optimizations!
Kill DVFS completely!
Remove excessive logging from decon, GPU drivers & touchscreen drivers!
Unified S8/S8+ kernel!

Enabled touch input booster!
Disabled Hotplug!
Change default IO scheduler to "deadline"!

R1 (05/10/2020)
Initial Release!

FAQ: (Read this before flashing the kernel and reporting bugs!)
Q. Gaming performace isnt good in this kernel!
A. Disable Samsung Hotplug from your preferred kernel tweaker app! Hotplug is disabled in builds from R2 onwards!
Q. Whats Fsync? should i disable it?
A. fsync transfers ("flushes") all modified in-core data of (i.e., modified buffer cache pages for) the file referred to by the file descriptor fd to the disk device (or other permanent storage device) so that all changed information can be retrieved even after the system crashed or was rebooted. This includes writing through or flushing a disk cache if present. The call blocks until the device reports that the transfer has completed. It also flushes metadata information associated with the file (see stat(2)).
Too scientific, didnt read! : In layman terms disabling Fsync gives you better performance with the risk of a Data loss/corruption during a system crash!
Q. I cant Flash NFS injector, FDE.AI, MAGNETAR and other tweakers on this kernel!
A. I have added a in-built kernel blocker to block installation of these so called "AIO kernel tweakers". You shouldnt install these tweaks in my opinion! If you still want to use a Tweaker, i prefer you use KTweak though i wont be providing support for issues if u have flashed any mods or anything of this likeliness!
Q. I have an issue and i have reported it in the XDA thread, yet nobody replied to me.
A. I might be slow in responding for issues reported in the XDA thread, if u want me to reply more faster, report it in the Telegram support group!
Q. My phone gets HOT while using this kernel!?
A. Short answer: It's your own issue, fix it yourself. Nobody makes a kernel just to burn your hands.
Long answer:
* Install Termux app from Play Store * Enable screen rotation, open Termux in landspace mode * Type this command: su -c top -d 2 * A list of processes will appear and refresh with 2s interval. Find which process consumes the most CPU usage with [%CPU] column and the package name in ARGS column. You should see the culprit of your issue.
Reminder: There is no such thing as "I have nothing in background but the phone still heats up". There definitely something happen and 99% of the time it's some of the rogue apps running in background.
Thanks to Diep Quynh for finding this one out!

I've tried it and for some reason left top corner of the screen never responded to touch. Ex: I couldn't turn on wifi from quick toggles n back arrow in some apps as I couldn't make a touch on left corner...
I didn't collect logs as I immediately reverted back to old kernel.

Its a ROM issue, which has been already identified by the rom dev, u can join their telegram group to know this

New kernel build is up guys! =)

Currently running the newest build, runs great, thanks for the work. 6h SOT and still 50% battery. Just wondering, any reason hotplug is disabled? Does it really impact performance that bad? Or is it just samsungs implementation? Tried to build a custom version using your source (with a big core oc and an undervolt), cant seem to for some reason. Once again, thanks for the great work. Any way to buy you a Coffee?

Hotfix build is uploaded, sorry for the inconveniences caused by the bootloop issues =)

Hi mate!
1. hotplug is disabled cuz in my tests i found em to degrade performance and doesnt make much of a difference battery life wise, hence disabled and yes its a samsung implementation.
2. For OC u can pick ace2nutzers a2n kernel commits, i have tested em and it works
3. as for the undervolt, i havent tried em and probably wont be =)
4. Thanks very much, i dont need coffee or beers and stuff, u can hit the thanks button =)
Thanks and regards,
Stay Safe!

I am using this kernel on android 10 oneui
after i flashed the kernel i had weird issue concerning samsung clear case
when i close the case the screen turn on and when i open the case the screen turns off!
it acts in the opposite manner!

N950N supported?

is there any way to change to enforcing?!
