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)

You're welcome. It is as much for me to remember how to do stuff in the future with other devices as anything else. Glad others can benefit from it as well.

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?

This kernel is just as stable as CM's which is very important to me, but it's also got a lot of improvements on top of that.
Installation instructions: flash zip from recovery. That's all.
Only flash on jewel running AOSP Lollipop ROMs with the new partition layout, though I've heard that the kernel still works (for now) with KitKat AOSP ROMs as well.
Do not download the source and try to flash it. See post 2 for download link.
Source: https://github.com/Colonel-Corn/android_kernel_htc_msm8960.git
Yeah I'm really that cheesy.
Instructions for flashing: It's pretty simple, really. No tricks. Flash it just like you would the ROM. Do it after flashing the ROM though.
Below are the basics. I'll add detail later and give credit where it's due (though that information can be found in the commits too).

Current issues
Though the kernel is at least as stable as CM's (as as of this writing), there are some bugs in a few features.
HTC Logo feature references need to be removed as it isn't part of the touchscreen on the Jewel. Those features will never work on this device.
Not loving this S2W implementation. It's got features in the code that won't work on jewel, but it's written in such a way that I can't easily remove the extra items without breaking either the feature or the build. Would prefer to use the version implemented in Bubba kernel, but its dependent on powersuspend, which doesn't want to boot after the WiFi driver updates were made by CM.
Credits: @javelinanddart - His Frosted Kernel is great, and I'd love to get it working on Jewel. Unfortunately I can't seem to compile it from his source, so I've cherry-picked a ton of commits from him. I'm going to keep picking one commit at a time and making fixes as I go. My hope is that I'll be able to find the offending lines of code in Frosted, that Jewel doesn't like, and hopefully get those changes incorporated into Frosted. @faux123 for putting together some of the most amazing features together. Guys like him who create features and write original code are really the ones who deserve the credit. All I'm really doing is an advanced cut & paste job, then crossing my fingers and hoping like hell I can get their work to function on our device. @intervigilium - Has spent a ton of time on msm8960 kernel in particular. He seems to author more of the commits I cherry-pick than anyone else.
@captain throwback - Not sure where to begin. If it weren't for him, this device may have died a long time ago. It hasn't been his daily-driver in close to a year, but he continues to maintain the device anyway. He's also been tremendous with coming back to help users with problems. @showp1984 - Has authored tons of lines of original code and new features. @rmbq - Whose Bubba Kernel made me appreciate just how much can be done with a kernel and is 90% of the reason I started Half-Popped. He didn't just cherry-pick his way there either. His commits include some really impressive original feature code.
@everyone else in the development community - A few of my commits in the beginning did not properly maintain authorship. For that, I am very sorry. I'm still really new to this and didn't know how to, or understand the importance of, maintaining proper authorship of the work of others. While I was totally ignorant about how rude this is, and it was only a handful of commits out of hundreds, proper credit should have been given. I'd love to know how to correct this, but I honestly don't know how.

Thanks for letting me know. It's fixed now.
New build posted.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934535260
The big change is in getting voltage control fixed. I've also added OC support.
This was compiled with SaberMod 4.8 though, which is not as good as what I've used in the past. I'll be changing it soon enough though.
Let me know if you have any trouble. All you have to do is flash the zip.
Last night I decided to adjust my kernel governor settings.
Deep sleep - 73%
384 - 19%
The remaining 8% is all over frequency-wise and is about the amount of time I spent using the phone.
Quadrant score of 6126 running BeanStalk. OC frequency 1728000 with top end voltage at 1275000. Low end voltage is set at 850000 for 384000 frequency. No reboots yet. Am considering coding the low end frequency limit to 194000 since I'm having no stability issues so far.
I'm providing this as a baseline for comparison for you and for future reference for myself. If you're having bad battery drain issues, I can post my governor configuration if you'd like.
I'm pretty proud of what I've done with this, but I'm thrilled to discover that a much more skilled developer is working on a kernel for Jewel. I can't wait until it's ready.
SELinux PERMISSIVE mode kernel
This is otherwise identical to the 3-1-2015-3 kernel.
This disables Enforcing mode (kind of obvious). With enforcing mode enabled, every app is restricted to playing in its own sandbox. In permissive mode, an app can play in its own sandbox, but also play in all of the other sandboxes too. This was only created to get around issues with installing Xposed. I wouldn't recommend running SELinux in permissive mode. You've been warned.
I'm having trouble installing this. Installing the zip, TWRP says: "Updating partition details ... ... done. Failed". I've downloaded the file a few times. There's no md5 to verify. I've also tried flashing with different ROMS, but no luck. What am I doing wrong?

There won't ever be an md5 with the kernel, but I've made over 100 kernel zip files using this method and never once had a failure. I'm eager to get more info so that I can help you.

3/10/15 - PERMISSIVE
UC to 192000, OC to 1836000 - be careful with the kernel settings when OC this high. I've had no issues yet, but 1.83 vs 1.5 is not an insignificant difference.
A word of advice on the permissive kernel. Use a program that manages your SELinux policy. Set it to Enforcing, and applied upon boot. The device will start the boot process in permissive mode, which is when xposed is loading, then it will change back to Enforcing at the end of boot. There are still security concerns, but we've limited the risk to just part of the boot sequence.
No reboots with the UC last night. 68% deep sleep, and 19% at 194000. Woke right away this morning with dt2w.
Dt2w and sw2w can be disabled if you're using trickster mod. You will see a boost in battery life. Not an option for me though, since my power button is dying.
Might not have this device much longer because of it. The day will soon come when I won't be able be able to break out of a bootloop and with the simulated battery pull (hold down power button for 10 seconds).
No idea what to replace it with though. I really like the idea of having a ton of custom ROM and kernel options like with the Nexus line, but I really enjoy the challenge and learning experience that comes with compiling. It's been worth developing for Jewel because there are so few of us who are doing anything for the device, so I feel like I've actually contributed something. I see the download numbers though and realize that I'm now contributing to a very small group of people. The nexus line has no need for me as a wannabe developer though, since there are many highly skilled devs already.
I'll fix the defaults later, but the voltages for the OC frequencies are set too high. Change them to max of 1250000 and you shouldn't have any problems OC to 1836000 frequency. I OC for smoother performance with normal use. If you're overclocking and playing games, that much sustained heat could be a problem.
If there is any interest, I can easily build a kernel without the sweep and tap to wake features. This would be useful for anyone who wants to trade in those features in exchange for better battery life, but doesn't have an app on their device that can disable them.
Lol. I just found tap to wake last night. I'm such a mo mo.
Thanks for the kernel, man. Digging it so far.

You're in luck. I saw your post right as I was finalizing some other improvements.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540722
I built this kernel with d2w & s2w, but they're disabled by default. Those features wont drain your battery now, unless you specifically enable them. In retrospect, that's probably what I should have done in the first place.
I've cherry-picked memory improvements, thermal improvements, and set SELinux back to enforcing. If someone wants me to make an updated permissive kernel, just ask. It takes all of a minute for me to change that setting.
I also rolled back the voltages to 1250000 on the higher OC frequencies. You can push it higher if you'd like, but not by default. Still keeping OC at 1836000 max.
Hi all,
some of you know me from the Samsung devices area, where I provide my kernels already for more than two years to Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.).
Maybe you also know me from my OnePlus One kernels I added in winter last year to my portfolio.
Finally I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 afew weeks ago and decided to port my kernel also to this device. This is a sponsored device, so I want to say a big thank you to the people that made it possible, namely the ones in the German Smartphone Forum www.hubo.in !!!
Please note:
I am not heading to have as many features as possible implemented, this is not my design goal. If you are more into that, move on to other, good existing kernels. If you are searching for a good mix of improvements and new functions while not sacrificing stability, you are welcome here (see below the history section for more info).
For the CM Boeffla-Kernel, please go HERE.
Important notes
When using new anykernel concept Boeffla-Kernel: Flash stock kernel of rom first !
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official Samsung stock firmware and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it.
Change logs
(you can also access them directly in Boeffla-Config V2 by pressing menu and selecting "change log...")

History and design targets
Basically I created my first Boeffla-Kernel in 2012 as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. Also it does not aim to have the broadest feature set available everywhere.
It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
These design targets are also valid for the Galaxy S5 kernel here!!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
things I do personally not need
things I do not like
things that are in any way dangerous
anything which is highly experimental
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
a CAF based kernel
anykernel method to use the ramdisk of the installed rom
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it if it falls into the listed categories. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
And: I do not really care about benchmark numbers, they say almost nothing as long as something is not completely wrong. Important for me is the feel-good factor.
I am also not interested in gaming at all, so never expect a gamer kernel. It will just not happen...
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: Flash the correct kernel depending on whether you are on Samsung Stock, CM12 or CM11 !!!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.
You need at least version 2.1.72 or higher for the Galaxy S5 Boeffla Kernels.

Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* ZaneZam
* Yank555
* ktoonsez
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Entropy512

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***
Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.
Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support
Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to
And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.
Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.
Period.
Also as a reminder:
you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue
you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own
you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support
Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.
Please consider that!!!

I am sorry, nothing changed in my attitude and golden rules over the past years.
No device, no kernel.
Apart from that, I need to stop adding new kernels now, it just gets too many already. And once I realize quality does drop, I have to stop.
Andi
Thank you,Andi
Thanks to @Lord Boeffla, finally today you've released your awesome kernel. Of course I saw @ZaneZam thanks to you too and I know we might have another version will be compiled and supported. Nice
Hi all,
Great kernel
Works very fine
Check this out...
Thanxxxx to the Lord for the hard work in the last week's
It's hard to access root rights on my device with Stock Deodexed Prerooted Rom. I've flashed Update-SuperSu 2.46 in TWRP, but RootChecker checked with no Root installed on device

Hey Lord,
thanks for your awesome work! I really liked your kernel for the S3, even better you're now developing for the S5.
Immer weiter so men Jung!

We need you guys to find that out, the S5 is not my daily-usage phone. So all I get is quite hypotethical at the moment.

Andi, forgive me, does it work on ANG7?
Never mind, Lollipop upwards
Looks good so far on XtreStoLite!
I'm just wondering if you are planing to add full sound configuration options?
Your sound implementation options allowed superb sound on S3 and I guess I'm not the only one missing it on S5
Looking forward to next versions!

Would love to. But it is a completely different sound chip used in the S5, compared to the S3.
And it seems there is no way to get hold of any documentation for it (wdc9230), which would allow us dev to explore more of the chips capabilities.
If you saw a kernel providing more sound options, I am happy to get the information about it and checking if it can be ported. Then we would even know what the audio hub can do and what not...
Or someone can get Qualcomm to hand me over the documentation of their audio hub, then also more is possible. But many devs for sure have tried that in the past years already, so I am not very optimistic.
Andi
Battery friendly seems so good for daily usage at the moment, but Battery Saving with zzmoove / battery yank seems pretty lags. Hope it be implemented some next versions.

Yes, it lags. And it is a hardly battery focussed preset, so it must lag.

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
Thanks buddy!
Just dirty flash from DOTS 1.4 to rev 2 for the backlight dimmer.

Added an app to control kernel features in second post
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!

*** This kernel is now end-of-life and not supported nor actively developed anymore !!! ***
Hi all,
some of you know me from the other OnePlus or Samsung devices areas, where I provide my kernels already for more than five years to OnePlus 5, 3T, 3, 2, one and X, Galaxy S5, S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.)
Now I own a OnePlus 5T device and decided to port my kernels also to this device.
Please note:
I am not heading to have as many features as possible implemented, this is not my design goal. If you are more into that, move on to other, good existing kernels. If you are searching for a good mix of improvements and new functions while not sacrificing stability, you are welcome here (see below the history section for more info).
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official OnePlus OOS and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
To add: A community build is NOT an official build supported here. If you use a community build and have issues, don't complain or even report.
Important notes
Read first, especially when you are new to my kernels:
http://wiki.boeffla.de
Boeffla-Kernel uses the anykernel concept = Flash stock kernel of rom first !
This kernel is ONLY compatible to OxygenOs stock, nothing else !!!
If you are using a custom rom that bases on OxygenOs, it might work. However, if it does not work, do not expect me to do tweak to make the kernel running with your favorite rom. I would not do it - my one and only reference is OxygenOs stock.
It is not supposed to be compatible to CM, HydrogenOS etc.
Also note: You have to use Boeffla-Config app which I provide on my homepage to tweak the kernel. 3rd party apps will not be able to unleash the full power of the kernel.
Important: Manually disable battery optimisation for Boeffla-Config app in the rom settings (battery -> battery-optimisation)
Installation
Read the install instructions in the support section on the Boeffla Site.
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app (outdated at the moment).
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting/overclocking and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it.
Otherwise, you can get in touch with me via the support e-mail address: [email protected]
Please provide kernel version, rom version, a detailed issue description and ideally supporting screenshots or log files.
Change logs
(you can also access them directly in Boeffla-Config V2 by pressing menu and selecting change log...)
Change log for OxygenOS 5.x.x kernel - Click here
Change log for OxygenOS 4.x.x kernel - Click here
Known issues
none known
Features
Note: This kernel only runs on OOS 4.x.x for the OnePlus 5T - nothing else !!!
Important: Manually disable battery optimisation for Boeffla-Config app in the rom settings (battery -> battery-optimisation)
Support of anykernel concept (only latest kernels) - flash stock kernel before flashing Boeffla
Full integration with Boeffla-Config V2 (you need at least version 2.5.10 or higher !!!) configuration app (get it from http://www.boeffla.de) to configure all kernel settings
Dash charging fully supported
The two CPU clusters (big and little cpu) can be configured completely separate in terms of min/max frequencies, governors and CPU core profiles
Additional governors: zzmoove, blu_active, impulse, cultivation
Additional schedulers: fiops, bfq, sio, sioplus, fifo, vr, tripndroid, maple, zen
Underclocking CPU and GPU supported
No CPU and GPU overclocking (not planned too)
No CPU and GPU voltage interfaces (not planned too)
GPU boost implemented (4 levels)
CPU core profiles to restrict number of CPU cores being used (the OP5T does not hotplug based on load)
USB charge rate bumped up to 900 mA
Boeffla charge analysis (display of charger type and charge current in Boeffla-Config app in real time)
Notification LED control (effect + speed for blinking/fading, brightness for continuous notification like battery charging etc.)
Boeffla-Sound engine V1 (headphone volume control, earpiece control in calls, microphone gain control in calls)
Dynamic FSync (activated if screen on, deactived if screen off), configurable
Input boost frequencies and duration configurable per CPU cluster, input boost switch
Show CPU frequency usage per CPU and frequency in Boeffla-Config
Show current CPU core frequencies in realtime (note: other apps than Boeffla-Config will likely display wrong information on offline cores as they are not up-to-date yet)
Show GPU frequency usage per frequency in Boeffla-Config
KCal V2 Color control
Display backlight limits configurable (to avoid display brightness gets too low in some situations)
Display backlight dimmer
Swipe2wake gestures
Boeffla generic wakelock blocker
Control haptic feedback of gestures (except fingerprint)
Haptic feedback intensity control (from 0 to 25, with 25 being 100%)
Swipe2sleep gestures
SD card read ahead buffer configurable (default increased to 1024 kB)
Ext4 File system tweaks (default to on, can be disabled)
Kernel logger (dmesg) configurable
CIFS support (module, do not mount inside /data, if you rooted with Chainfire SuperSu, make sure you uncheck the namespace separation in SuperSu app)
NFS read-only support (module)
NTFS support (module)
XBox support (module)
OTG-Ethernet support (module)
TCP Congestion changed to Westwood
Many additional TCP congestion algorithms available
Entropy values configurable
Swap supported
Wireguard supported
Various kernel tweaks
Doze mode configurable in Boeffla-Config
Full selinux strict support (switchable to permissive on demand)
Show speedbin information (PVS level) in Boeffla-Config app
init.d support (in /system/etc/init.d - set correct permissions!)
Automatic EFS backup
Fully supports OOS device encryption, but does not force it
Integrated full busybox 1.27.2 (own compilation)
Compatible with systemless root
Safetynet: verifiedbootstate + additional flags removed
Kernel initialisation log file (with history of 3 log files)
Emergency reset script automatically placed into /boeffla-kernel-data folder of your internal memory
Google gcc 4.9 toolchain (64 bit) used for best stability
Always based on latest OOS kernel sources (https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8998)

History and design targets
Basically I created my first Boeffla-Kernel in 2012 as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. Also it does not aim to have the broadest feature set available everywhere.
It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
These design targets are also valid for the OnePlus kernel here!!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
things I do personally not need
things I do not like
things that are in any way dangerous
anything which is highly experimental
a CAF based kernel
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it if it falls into the listed categories. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
And: I do not really care about benchmark numbers, they say almost nothing as long as something is not completely wrong. Important for me is the feel-good factor.
I am also not interested in gaming at all, so never expect a gamer kernel. It will just not happen...
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: Flash the kernel only if you are running a compatible rom !!!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app Boeffla-Config V2 from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.
You need at least version 2.5.10 or higher for the OnePlus 5T Boeffla Kernels.
Donation
If you like my work, feel free to donate: Donation-Link
If you donate at least 2,49 EUR (to be in line with the donation app prices on Google Play store), you will receive a personal donation code which unlocks some nice little comfort functions in Boeffla-Config V2 on top.
Source code
All sources can be found in my Github repository: http://github.com/andip71
Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* ZaneZam
* eng.st
* flar2
* arter97
* Grarak
* Entropy512
* Faux
* FranciscoFranco
* Ak
* Osm0sis
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!

This is not changed by me. As long as you do not play in the app with the settings, this is 1:1 as in stock kernel.
Anyone else? I mean, nothing is impossible of course.

Anyone else? I mean, nothing is impossible of course.

Not sure if it is the same problem but in the first release of elementalX kernal, whether the brightness dimmer was enabled or not the brightness at maximum was half of what it should have been.
Thanks.

You have to revert THIS exact commit in order to fix that (not working anymore on OP5T)
Welcome to OP5T mate btw :highfive:

Good hint. Will check in that direction when more people are sure this brightness thingy is real.
Update: Analysis started...

Ok, issue analyzed, confirmed to be a bug.
Bug is fixed and beta2 already compiling. Stay tuned. And thanks for the report.
(BTW it was not the brightness dimmer but a changed brightness range sent by the rom to the kernel, so the min/max limiter was cutting too early)
Thanks

Thanks. Sorry, did not see your post as I was busy analyzing.
Well... reverting a commit and losing the functionality is not the option when I can fix it, eh? :fingers-crossed:
And so I did.

Yeah. But not before it gets out of open beta, not before it is released officially.

Its only for custom roms. U can try blu-spark vR123 for OB11
For a more wide choice, could be included a more big list of standard governors? Such as powersave,conservative,interactive,intellidemand,intelliactive

Update 1.0.21
Activated all the governors I have
Ever so slightly lower some boost stuff
Fixed OP link sorry about that
@apophis9283 I just read that Nathan Chance sold his device and that the Flash kernel has been discontinued. Will you keep upstreaming Singularity? Just curious as you always added Nathan Chance's commits. Very unfortunate but understandable that blind development is very difficult. Glad to have Singularity though
EDIT: Can't believe he is in the notch club now. Definitely not(ch) with me :silly: (at least as long as my OP5T works )

I did not know this. Yeah it'll be continued. Sad to see Nathan depart. Amazing guy. Amazing work.

I will continue maintaining the OnePlus 5 repo for android-linux-stable so that others can still benefit from it. linux-stable doesn't break things so I'm not worried about doing that blind :good:

It is not set by default as not everyone might want to use lower clock speeds than default. It could (I repeat it could) lead to instability and having this by default could mean that your device crashes on boot up without a chance of increasing it except replacing the kernel. So go safe and make the lower clocks optional
Switched from Flash kernel to this.
So far everything is working as expected!
Thank you for your hard work!
The minimum frequency itself is set to 1248 although I switch to a smaller
Hi everybody, @Apophis, this kernel is compatible with Trebble on Open Beta 11?
no bootloop?
thank you for your answer:good:
Kernel supports only custom roms, no OOS till OnePlus releasing new kernel sources for treble.
