ABOUT:
BlackScreen is my custom kernel made for custom aosp/caf roms
This started as just being the kernel in my aicp builds, but as more and more users of other roms started using it I realized I should make a separate thread
====================================================================================================
BlackScreen is meant to give you great battery life and performance (depending on how you tune it), essentially I tried to optimize it for everyday usage (gaming, media consumption. browsing the web, all that stuff), I'm not aiming to have the highest Antutu score (although it is very high, it's just not my focus), you see benchmarks don't really reflect actual everyday usage.
The main thing that I do is port good features and optimizations from the various OnePlus 3/3t kernels (they have many great kernel devs and a lot of their work can benefit us too), I also optimize the kernel settings and stuff like that
BlackScreen is based off of the lineage qcom msm8996 kernel https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_qcom_msm8996/tree/lineage-17.1

BlackScreen 7.1​################################################################
Changes:
1. Did a fresh rebase on the lineage qcom msm8996 kernel https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_qcom_msm8996/tree/lineage-17.1
This includes tons of optimizations and fixes, also google kernel common is merged in as well as the latest caf tag and wifi driver, and it is fully upstreamed to Linux 3.18.140
2. Included the battery percentage fix from @snow
3. Added back wireguard

For some of the updates yes although it's probably not needed as the Q kernel will probably work on pie

thx again for your efforts

i've been flash your latest version AICP15, can i flash the overclock kernel version zip to get a better performance? can i directly flash it in without wipe after i flash the Magisk? However thanks for your good work

Yes although it probably won't give you that much better performance since the higher frequency will make it heat up faster which will in turn make it throttle faster to protect your device from heat damage, so you might see better performance for short tasks like opening apps and browsing the web, but if you're playing pubg for a while it'll probably be about the same performance wise, glad you like my work

2. Updated wireguard
3. Cleaned up the kernel additions a bit
4. Updated the zip to anykernel3, we were using anykernel2 before https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670512

I am using this kernel with AICP 14 (2020-03-19) and everything works. I can't say if the rom works better now but it certainly doesn't work worse! Thanks for all the wonderful work!

BlackScreen 7.3​################################################################
Changes:
1. Merged in tons of updates from the lineage qcom msm8996 kernel which has the latest caf tag and google kernel common changes, and some other nice stuff
2. Blocked hal_bluetooth_lock by default, this caused a wakelock whenever bluetooth was enabled, and blocking it doesn't seem to cause any issues (credit to Kevin Puertas https://github.com/kprkpr)

thanks for ur continued hard work :angel: hopefully this fixes battery drain.

@mosimchah man this kernel is fantastic and is really improving battery drain on LOS. Keep up the good work!
A question: do you have any specific recommendations for max battery life - I don't do gaming or anything intensive really so battery is what matters the most to me. Also: what app do you use to tweak parameters? I have been using kernel adiutor for ages but as I understand it's not mantained anymore so am open to alternatives...thanks!

According to the magisk installation instructions https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html , we have to take the boot.img from the rom zip and patch it then flash it, and only then install the kernel. I installed lineage-17.1-20201128-nightly-zl1-signed.zip , will the kernel have problem with the above installation? Cuz in the past I always remembered I just flashed magisk but now it says it's no longer recommended and that I should patch it so I'm not sure how it will work with the kernel

Afaik those instructions are pretty much just for people who are on the stock rom without a custom recovery, in your situation you can just flash magisk with twrp and it will all be fine assuming you're using the stable version
