Zombie is a Kernel which extends the Xperia Z's capabilities.
It is aimed at including only useful and strictly tested features, enhancements and optimisations,
it will not receive any Linux upstream updates and only useful CAF enhancements, to not sacrafice stability
for "the latest and greatest" (which is only very few cases really "the greatest" but more like very prone to introduce all kinds of issues).
Important: I do not accept Bug reports when you are running a modified Rom or using Xposed!
Features:
* Compiled with Google's AOSP GCC 4.8 and Size Optimisations (-Os) (for maximum stability)
* 2-Phase fully-configurable Kernel Thermal (userspace thermald is disabled)
* APQ-Hotplug (All CPUs are online by default, CPUs 1-3 are offline during suspend)
* Optional conservative KGSL Policy (offers more efficient clock scaling and adjustablility)
* DoubleTap2Wake/Sweep2Wake/Sweep2Sleep with adjustable (optional) haptical Feedback (Sweep2Sleep works in Navigation and Status Bar)
* Backlight-Dimmer-Hack (Reduces min. brightness to the lowest possible point)
* Faux' Gamma Control / Pre-tuned Gamma for the Sharp Panel (only controllable via Fauxclock)
* Faux' Sound Control 3.x (controllable via e.g. Fauxsound)
* Alucard24's Touch-Boost Driver (adjustable boost-freqs / boost-CPUs)
* Updated Prima-Wlan Driver from Code Aurora + Improved Wlan Configuration
* Adjustable Vibrator Strength
* Morfic's Voltage Control
* Chad Froebels FastCharge
* Ezekeel's Fsync Control
* Full MultiRom support

Everyone experiencing wifi related issues (disconnections, etc..) should read the following.
Luckily i have updated Prima from CAF, and pulled a wcnss configuration file from their cgit.
This means you can adjust wlan parameters like deep-sleep, idle-scan, etc.. there.
File path: /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg_ini
For example, enabling IdleScan seems to have fixed frequent wifi disconnections.
Feel free to adjust things and experiment, certain issues may get fixed this way.

I know it's your kernel and there were some problems with exfat. Maybe any other type of format that support files larger than 4 gb? If you want of course

Afaik, there is no other format which has the same abilities.
I am really sorry about that, but no Exfat, format to FAT32

I can noticeably feel great improvement in battery life so far. :fingers-crossed:
Cores don't go offline? Isn't this bad for battery?

Nope. Hotplugging Cores uses a lot energy, and stock Mpdecision is switching them on/off continually (it is a bad kernelspace/userspace hotplugger anyway).
Simply leaving Cores online saves energy, and with a proper governor tuning they can run at lower frequencies thus improving battery life.
Tommy-Geenexus thank you for this great kernel!
anyway, could you please consider adding GPU overlocking into this kernel in the future? The GPU, Adreno 320 of Xperia Z doesn't perform well when playing games and there are always apparent lags. Thus GPU overclocking will help making the phone runs better.
Thank you!

The A320 is quite good, the issue is the FHD Panel.
But: The 8064 SOC has an unpleasant issue, heating. This is the case on all phones using this SOC. Any form of OC will lead to instant throttling.
Whats more important than OC'ing is to keep the temperature down.
Most games run fine till throttling kicks in, my goal is to keep it unthrottled as long as possible.
Also we have no battery throttling, the battery gets really hot, OC will damage your battery.
Processor cant be tuned to 1512hz. Its keep on changing to 1350 hz. Help!!

Somethings messing with your freqs, not kernel related.
As i remember I had formatted my sdcard to exfat and it WORKS! In terminal emulator it says "texfat". I don't know why "t" at the beginning
Interesting. But why no recovery? We had it for stock kernel within a day of release, so it can't be that difficult...

Hi all,
this is the thread about the well-known Boeffla-Kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 international.
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 !!
Notes:
Never install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!
Kernel version 5.x are only for Samsung based Jelly Bean 4.3.x roms!!!
Kernel version 6.x is only for ported Samsung based Kitkat 4.4.2 roms (e.g. Archiport) !!!
Kernel version 7.x is only for ported Samsung based Kitkat 4.4.4 roms (e.g. back-to-n00t) !!!
Kernel versions 1-4 are only for Samsung based Jelly Bean 4.1.x roms!!! (no development anymore)
For the CM Boeffla-Kernel, please go HERE.
If you have questions to settings, presets, others configuration and wanna share your configuration, head over to the unofficial Boeffla-Config App Config sharing thread:

History
Basically I created Boeffla-Kernel 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. 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 !!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
color "calibration" (I do not like it, but I like the crispy stock colours)
real hard overclocking higher than 1600 MHz as this is outside of Exynos specs
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) firmwares. It is not designed to run on AOSP based roms!
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.

If you like my work, feel free to donate: Donation-Link
You will receive a personal donation code which unlocks some nice 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:
* Yank555
* ZaneZam
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio
* Mialwe
* Entropy512
* Faux
... 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 !!!

*** As always - Flash on our own risk! ***
Make sure you flash the correct version depending on your firmware version!
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.
It is generally recommended to run a complete Nandroid backup in CWM recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.

i m testing this kernel since first betas quietly with my rom builds and i can say nothing but only best words.
This is the best kernel i ve ever had.
I m not going to say that other kernels are bad, not at all.
But for me stability and dailly use comes first and i cannot see lag anywhere......everything seems fast and it dont need overclock for sure....it is perfect out of the box
testing now and will announce the results after !
This is nice....

good luck mate will test it
Exactly... OC is really not on my roadmap for the time being.
I see not a big point in it, the device is also fast enough for daily usage without OC.
But if you insinst on OC, there are plenty of other absolutely great kernels around for it
Thanks

Download from homepage now working fine
Hi,
just a small update on the download issue from the homepage yesterday:
I completely swapped out the old download component in the CMS and replaced it by a different one. Now it has been confirmed (Thanks to Jack Barrett) to be working fine.
By the way - there is a known issue with auto root reported (in both 1.0 and 2.0-beta1 versions), I am currently working on it and expect a new beta version very soon.
Cheers
Andi
** Note: This kernel is end-of-life and will no more be maintained. There will be no LineageOS 15.1 or newer kernel be available anymore **
Hi all,
this is the thread about the CM version of the well-known Boeffla-Kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 international.
Note: This kernel is only for CM based roms!!! Do not install it on a Samsung based rom!!!
For Omnirom, please do not use the CM kernel but the separate Omnirom kernel I also provide.
Difference NG kernels to normal kernels:
NG = next generation, it does use pure Samsung source codes only, not the smdk4412 kernel sources of the CM or Omnirom team anymore.
If you are unsure whether to use the NG or the normal kernel, I recommend NG kernel always! Try it first if it works fine for you.
For the Samsung Boeffla-Kernel, please go HERE.

History
Basically I created the Samsung version of Boeffla-Kernel 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. 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 !!! Which in fact for the CM kernel means now... close to CM kernel sources.
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
color "calibration" (I do not like it, but I like the crispy stock colours)
real hard overclocking higher than 1600 MHz as this is outside of Exynos specs
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
a CAF based kernel
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for CM10.1 and CM10.2 based firmwares. It is not designed to run on Samsung based roms!
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.

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:
* Yank555
* ZaneZam
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio
* Mialwe

... 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 !!!

*** 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!!!
Andi
FINALLY. I can experience everything that is boeffla in both worlds. Incredible job, Andi.
All 4 zram swaps are set to different priorities. They should all share the same priority to be of any use beyond what a single swap partition can do... I'm using alpha16 cm10.2 kernel..

Yeaaaaaaaa

Holy crap, I bet my mind will be totally blown in the nearest future before the final decision between the upcoming boeffla kernel & temasek with boeffla..
Hi to all the alpha testers with the dropbox link: I have reuploaded alpha16 for CM10.2, with the swap priorities fixed now.
I will compile 10.1 tomorrow, same goes for load&flash - this will be updated tomorrow. So if you want to try, take it from dropbox directly.
Will drop off for today, was a long and busy day

Cm10.2-alpha16-v2 working beautifully . all zram devices balancing nicely.
Great work man. Keep it up.
On small request, could you make the number of zram devices configurable as well as a configurable swappiness. I'm thinking that 2 devices may be the sweet spot for CPU cycles/performance if it infact uses one thread (core) per block device. Leaving the other 2 core asleep but still having multi threaded zram. Hope its not to much of an ask. Thanks

Hi all,
this is the thread about my Boeffla-Kernel for the Galaxy Note 10.1 n80xx.
Some of you might know my kernel already from the Galaxy S3 area.
If you want to learn more about the kernel, it's features and how to configure what, I would recommend you to visit the Galaxy S3 thread of the kernel.
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 !!
Notes:
From version 2.2 onwards, this kernel should work on the following devices: n8000, n8010 and n8013
This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!
If you have questions to settings, presets, others configuration and wanna share your configuration, head over to the unofficial Boeffla-Config App Config sharing thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621308
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!

Wow!! I was extremly pleased with your kernel for S3, just bad for me that I dont own the wifi version of this tab. Maybe do one for 8000 also? Anyways welcome to the party
Sorry nick. My rule of thumb is still in place: I only develop for a device I personally own and can test.
Andi
Thanks a lot. Have i9300 and n8010. Both with your kernel. :beer:

Thanks, ATM I'm using it to change my scheduler to SIO and use the Boeffla sound engine. Most of what's in the Boeffla config are like airplane controls to me.
Would be nice if someone comes up with a guide with recommended settings.
It this capatible with GT-N8013?

Honestly, I do not know. The 8013 seems to be the US variant of the 8010. Usually, kernels of US vs. European variants cannot be exchanged.
But I guess nothing can go wrong if you give it a try (do a nandroid backup first, so you have the current kernel safe).
If you tried it, please report back.

Hi,
well, it is a wide topic. That is why I recommended to head over to the S3 thread and search a little bit through it.
Also there is plenty (partially outdated) information on the kernel homepage under configuration as well.
However, my personal configuration currently is:
- governor zzmoove
- governor profile zzmoove -battery yank
- scheduler internal to row
- scheduler external to bfq
- read ahead buffer internal 512
- cpu idle mode to aftr+lpa
- boeffla-sound of course, but this is very much subjective
- touch boost down to 400 (to save some juice)

Actually, about the europe and US variants - they appear to be absolutely identical. I personally purchased mine in Germany (obviously the N8010 europe variant), but I've been using a ROM and a kernel for the N8013 (US Variant) for quite a while and haven't lost any functionality or encountered any problems.
But it is very good that we do have a kernel for the europe variant finally.
++ for N8000 version as it lacks of kernels witch such funcionalities ;(
Documentation up-to-date
Hi all,
after many hours of hard work, I am now happy to announce, the documentation is now fully updated again.
Help on both Boeffla-Config app as well as every single configuration option with background information is now available on your finger tips.
How to get there?
1. In Boeffla-Config app go into menu, select help. This displays the Boeffla-Config app help to you. If you click the first link on that page, you are moved to the configuration section for all settings.
2. Just go on homepage www.boeffla-kernel.de and select from the left-hand menu.
3. Follow these links:
Boeffla-Config App help
Boeffla-Kernel Configuration
Hope it is useful for you. At least I will now point all people asking questions answered in these sections to that sections only.
Thanks

I was going to give it a shot on my 8013 and see if it would work. I'm not sure about something though. Your file for the kernel has "CWM" in the title. I am using TWRP. I didn't know if you HAD to use CWM for some reason or if TWRP would by okay? I guess I can change the recovery, but in the past I've seen people say CWM for this or that and TWRP worked fine. Want to be sure before I flashed it with TWRP.
Ups. Never used this recovery honestly. So I really do not know.
Maybe someone else can comment...

do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this KERNEL
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Pls Read This before flashing:
You need ROM's default kernel before flashing this as this kernel makes use of AnyKernel 2 by @osm0sis. Make sure you have it otherwise clean flash the kernel with the rom to avoid any issues.(At least dirty flash rom+kernel) Credits to @attack11 for some part of install script.Read FAQ's and changelogs in 2nd post. THIS KERNEL COMES FINE TUNED OUT OF THE BOX.

How to Flash:
1. Download the kernel and place it into your phone storage
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Reinstall(Dirty flash) Rom + the kernel

F.A.Q. - Read this before complaining!
1. My phone exploded, HELP!
A: I don't answer to problems without a log. The log file is in /proc/last_kmsg. Paste it on pastie.org and link it on your post. Logcats are useless for Kernel purposes, don't bother posting them.
2. This kernel works on Y or X rom?
A: Works on CM12/12.1 and AOSP roms that have the latest wifi drivers. Not for stock roms!!
3. OMG BATTERY SUCKZ, ITZ DEAD IN 45 MINUTES, HELP!
A: As you can imagine I don't build kernels to decrease battery life. All the battery life problems come from your apps, either Facebook, or Maps, or some Location Service being enabled etc etc. Check your damn wakelocks and fix them, the kernel is not responsible for them.
4. How do I flash this?
A: Read the OP, theres a reason why I added instructions on it.
5. What is a data loss? Did I just had one?
A: Data loss is simply having the connection cut for X periods of time, usually few seconds. Grey bars means the device is not connected to Google services for some weird reason, but you'll still have internet connection.
6. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police?
A: Deal with it.
7. D2TW not working? It may be a hardware issue

What is msm_mpdecision?
100% kernel based multi core decision! (should cpu1/2/3 be online or not?)
This is a special version modded by neobuddy Plus the idle frequency and some load thresholds have been adjusted by me.
Some Configuration:
startdelay = time until mpdecision starts doing it's magic (20000)
delay = time between checks (130)
pause = if something else plugs in the cpu, fall asleep for 10000ms (10 secs)
scroff_single_core = if the screen is off, don't plug in cpu1/2/3. Additionally: Unplug all cpus except cpu0 when screen is turned off (1)
enabled = enable(1) or disable(0) mpdecision. This does not affect scroff_single_core!
min_cpus = min cpus to be online, cannot be < 1. Default: 1
max_cpus = max cpus to be online, cannot be > 4. (if you set it to 2 and min_cpus to 1 you will basically have a dualcore) Default: 4
idle_freq = a value against that will be checked if a core +/- is requested. (600 MHz)
mpdecision's input event boost, aka project butter
This will boost your min cpu speed if you touch the screen or press a button and gives you full control.
In those events the min cpu freq will be risen to a predefined value on every online cpu. This boosts overall reaction times and smoothness a lot. (works similar to the qcom mpdecision binary)
Thanks for bringing another kernel to our device, Kayant! Much respect!
On a side note, is Pink Kernel no longer being updated on the original developer's side, or have you abandoned it??
Thanks as always!
Thank you for your work, I will give it a try immediately!

Edit: Works Great with Dirty Unicorns and AICP!!

More developer side but from looking at github pinkflozd might be coming back soon maybe?
@Kayant good work dude!
So the reason my dt2w doesn't work is because I changed my screen? Thank you for clarifying that for me. I had a feeling that was my issue but I wasn't certain.
Sent from my Moto G 4G LTE (XT1045) Retail US variant
ROM: SaberMod 10 (5.1.1) 4/30 build
Carrier: Cricket Wireless
is it good for daily use?
Some of the option you have listed in the OP seem not to be present, I am referring to CPU underclocking (min freq. 300 MHz here) and GPU under/overclocking (min 200, max. 450)
My xt1039 does not boot... It shows the motorola logo, then il vibrates and the screen becames black.
I'm using the beeto's CM 12.1 and I can't find the log file..
Got another issue, too. IntelliPlug (max frequency with screen off: 300 MHz), Interactive governor. When I woke up the phone and started scrolling around, I found it a bit laggy; I checked in Kernel Adiutor, max and min frequencies were both set to 787 MHz, even though I personally set them to 300 MHz/1194 MHz before. Reverted back to Spirit Kernel for now!

Not sure why that would happen tbh. Were you on the stock kernel when you flashed?

Kayant I faced that issue as well. Apparently I tried to flash it on AICP, Beeto's Unofficial CM 12.1... It showed the bootlogo and then it would stay blank till I restart it or something. And I did reflash the ROM's cleanly before flashing this kernel
However it works fine on Official CM12.1 and BlissPOP.
Am I missing something?? Can @Flashhhh help some fellow Peregriners????

Yes I was! Will try with another ROM, I'll flash AICP
Thank you anyway!
(If you have some time, take a look to slimrom thread, thanks )
Just flashed on official CM 12.1.
So far the frequencies seems to be workning as they should, will report back if anything weird happens. Using the kernels stock settings.

Hello, this kernel is for aosp/caf ROMS so no miui,
Our Telegram Chat group:
tg://join?invite=GIipsxIDOQxumb-ayOOrvQ
there you can come directly in contact with me.
Since my device got bricked, i finnished V3 to make my kernel oreo compatible and wish you a good time,
with my kernel and the Rom your choosing.
I will further support my kernel but i will not work on it (beside bugs) until i have a device
================================================== ==================================================
Voodoo is meant to give you great battery life and performance (depending on how you tune it , more on that later in the second post), 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
Its builded with Linaro Toolchain.
It is based off of the lineage kernel with tons of improvements from @mosimchah, and @Razziell for the base of this kernel. .
try it and report. (Interactive can lag on first time display is touch its because battery saving options, but not lag further than)
Here are some of the features
(check out the third, and fourth posts for more info)
Compiled with Linaro 7.2.x Toolchain a56 optimized
Linux version 3.18.89
Android 8.0 Oreo support
CAF tag 'LA.UM.5.6.r1-06500-89xx.0 (latest aurora)
CPU:
impulse governor (best Battery i think)
blu_active (best balance)
Relaxed
Chill
Optional overclock (-OC kernel)
GPU:
Adreno boost
Adreno idler
Screen
kcal
Backlight dimmer
I/O:
Improved deadline
improved cfq
bfq
sio
fiops
tripndroid
sioplus
zen
maple (default)
Virtual memory:
various optimizations
zram
zswap
ksm
entropy:
some optimizations
tcp-algorithms:
westwood
Misc:
Vibration Control
dynamic fsync toggle
Many more optimizations
Several wakelocks have been blocked
Added the ability to tweak the thermal throttle settings for the CPU (be very careful with this)
USB fast charge
faster unlock
improved network performance
Option to enable the disabled gentle fair sleepers
Option to enable software crc control
DONATE for a some coffee

This is a work in progress guide to getting great battery life
Note: This guide is meant to be used on my kernel, there's several optimizations that I've left out of this guide because I enabled them by default in my kernel
1. In kernel adiutor, in the CPU section, change the cpu governor to impulse
2. Go to the governor tunables, and set the powersave_bias to 1 (warning, setting it to 1 can cause a lot of lag)
3. Underclock the cores to 1804Mhz
4. Set the GPU governor to simple_ondemand
5. Set the vibration strength to zero (or close to zero) in the misc section
6. Set the default I/O scheduler to noop
7. Go to developer options and turn off the logger buffer sizes (you will have to turn this back on in order to get a logcat for bug reports, and to pass safety net)
8. Use greenify to enable aggressive doze and doze on the go, and use it to limit background apps
10. Turn off all animations in developer options
11. In kernel adiutor set the low memory killer values to the aggressive setting
12. Disable fsync (risky, you could lose data if the system crashes)

4. Overclock the cores to 2208mhz
5. Disable fsync (risky, you could lose data if the system crashes)
6. Enable ksm, and use zram for more free ram, good for gaming
7. Set the CPU governor to blu_active

You say the kernel version is up to 3.18.71 but your source and its branches did not reflect that. Please upload YOUR OWN changes as well as per GPL guidelines.

So where's the commit history? How do we know you aren't hiding anything malicious?
All anyone can see is one large commit that says "first". Why are you doing this?
What are you hiding?

Calm your Tits, he is contributing just like you.
Thank you for your hardwork,seems quite well-developed and I'm going to test it during this week,would you please tell me what do you think about all these optimizations added to this kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...m13-x-cm14-x-ab123321-kernel-oneplus-t3545468 ?
Excuse me @unterwelt should I consider your absent reply as a "I don't about your suggestion because by my mind it's useless"
