Wifi Fix if not available with AX7-Hybrid in LOS based ROMS
The problem is that for some reason the ROM does not load the wlan.ko module at boot, so if you run into a "no wifi" situation with a LOS Based ROM all you have to do is navigate to the sbin folder and run the shell script named insmod.sh with your favorite ROOT Explorer APP. Right after you execute the file Wifi will be available. I'm looking into a permanent solution for this, stay tuned.
How to Bypass SafetyNet bootloader and/or root checks
* If comming from a clean flash of ROM or GAPS only do the following:
Magisk Approach
Flash the UnSu file from HERE
Flash my latest Kernel
Flash the latest Magisk from this thread:
Donwload Magisk Manager from the Playstore
Enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager
Profit, SafetyNet Checks will pass, all green!
SuperSU Approach
Flash the UnSu file from HERE
Flash my latest Kernel
Flash the latest SuperSU from this thread:
Donwload RootSwitch APP from HERE
Unpack the zip and install the apk inside it
Open Root Switch and disable root
Profit! SafetyNet checks will all be green!
Battery Life Extender (BLX) feature
In order to configure the cap you'll have to navigate to:
Code:
/sys/class/misc/batterylifeextender/charging_cap_level
edit the file and put the cap you want the battery to charge to, i won't recommend setting a cap lower than 90% cause then the phone could abruptely stop a fast charging cycle and damage your battery. If you want to have your phone charging to 100% just put 100 in the file and close it. No need to reboot, just plug and unplug your charger.
On a side note, this value will be set at 97% after every boot. So you'll need to manually change it back to 100.

AX7Kernel Changelogs:
AX7-Hybrid R22- 06/02/2017
Removed the WiFi module and instead it is now compiled within the Kernel to fix the problem with the Hotspot
AX7-Hybrid R21- 05/23/2017
Split both kernels, now there is a STOCK and LOS version again due to the camera incompatibility between Stock B25 and LOS.
Updated Camera driver from B25 2017U. Do not attempt to use on any other variant because it will break your camera. You've been warned!
Adreno Idler added
Updated LOS Kernel Sources
AX7-Hybrid R20- 05/02/2017
Temp camera fix for B25 2017U users. Do not attempt to use on any other variant because it will break your camera. You've been warned!
Added other options that i can't remember now (You can check my github ). I will release a new update once B25 source is released and from there update the changelog properly.
AX7-Hybrid R14 - 04/17/2017
Fix issues with Big Cluster, it was not being properly handled. Keep an eye on Core_CTL it might affect the way the big.LITLE arch works.
Updated F2FS to latest 3.18.y branch from HERE
Updated F2FS encrypt system to a per File encrypt system
Updated the way the scripts determine user setup to properly patch for Wifi Fix on AOSP based ROMS.
Added the option to patch the fstab.qcom file with F2FS support on System partition, Data and Cache was already there. THIS IS ONLY FOR LOS based ROMS, i didn't add the patch for fstab.qcom for STOCK. I'll look into this within this week.
Enabled NTFS FS
Updated Wifi Driver

Read through the commits in github
AX7-Hybrid Basic R1 - 03/25/2017
AX7-Hybrid Basic is up... Only added Kcal, SafetyNet Patch, Quickwake, CPU and GPU OC
AX7-Hybrid R10 - 03/24/2017
AX7-Hybrid R10 is up... AKA the one Kernel to rule them all!. Please Red Post 2 with info regarding Wifi on LOS based ROMS...
AX7Kernel R7 - 03/16/2017
For both STOCK and LOS Based versions. Upstream Linux Kernel to 3.18.45 thanks to jcadduono patches.
AX7Kernel R6 - 03/03/2017
Cap for battery charging set back to 100% by deffault. BLX Settings, you want to change them, refer to this POST and to this POST. If you want to extend your battery's life think about adding the cap to a 95 or 97%
Fixed the issue where the phone won't go into deep sleep at all.
WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT MODE is enabled by default now.
AX7Kernel R5 - 03/01/2017
Cap for battery charging set to 97% by deffault. BLX Settings, you want to change them, refer to this POST and to this POST. Your battery won't charge beyond 97%.
Added options to manipulate thermal settings, now you can choose when the phone will throtle the CPU or when to start shutting down cores to prevent damage. My recommendation don't push it too high or your phone might get damaged due to the high temps. It's not set to 60 Celcius so i recommend lowering that to avoid damage.
Added WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT MODE ( you'll need EX Kernel manager to get this, it's paid app but it's totally worth it guys)
Enabled the option to 'disable' some wakelocks. Disable them on your own risk. Wakelocks that can be disabled are: Bluedroid, wlan_rx, wlan_ctrl, wlan, IPA_WS, wlan_extscan_wl_ws, qcom_rx_wakelock_ws - You'll also need EX Kernel manager to get this options.
AX7Kernel R4 - 02/24/2017
Renamed both the Folder and Kernel zip file to appoint to the version. Now we'll have 2 versions, LOS and Stock AX7Kernel, make sure to check the zip name correctly to avoid issues when cross flashing kernels. All LOS/RR/AOKP and other LOS Based kernels will have the word LOS in it.
Fixed BLX feature. It should now properly stop the charging process when the battery has reached the cap_level set by users. Charge will resume once the charge drops from the cap assigned.
AX7Kernel R3 - 02/21/2017
Added one more step of OC (pushed just a little bit further)
Added my own and really simple implementation of BLX (battery life extender) based on the work made by bedalus for the OP3 and OP3T
AX7Kernel R2.3 - 02/17/2017
Updated to latest LOS Stock Kernel
Disabled some debugging
fixes to ZEN ioScheduler - highly recommended now.
Disabled color inversion in Kcal - can't be used anyways.
Fixed USB Fast Charge - Should worl properly now.
GPU OverClock - 684MHZ max frequency now.
Adreno Boost added and enabled (should boost GPU a bit)
Updates to interactive governor (should work better when operation are in the background and screen is off - music streaming is an example.
Changes to the Sync
Changes to Random function for IO ops.
Updates to Zram.
AX7Kernel R1 - 02/13/2017:
Updated to latest LOS Stock Kernel
Added a few governors like: lionfish / despair / darkness / blu_active / wheatley / ironactive and bioshock
added a few IO Schedulers: Tripndroid / Zen / SioPlus / VR
Kcal Color Control driver
USB Fast Charge
SafetyNet Patch (Bypass bootloader unlocked check)
Dynamic Fsync control
a little Overclock
Motorola Quickwake
Extended battery charge time from 30s to 100s

Nice! Flashing now and testing and will report back.
Edit : Trying to flash the kernel on the latest 14.1 Official nightly, but I get an error 1 in TWRP. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Don't know what the issue is. Are you running the latest TWRP?
I justo downloaded the file and it flashed well into my device

kcal, more governors and overclock?
kickass

As you said it will depend on each user and the usage of the phone. I personally use ironactive / tripndroid / overclock / cpu touch boost / enabled dynamic file sync.
Test it and let me know

Just adjusted color a bit and oc'ed. So far it's pretty sweet. Going to try out your settings right now.

Got everything but touch boost... Is that input boost? If so what freq did you use.

Is the video recording bug gone with this kernel? Would love to try but need video recording for work.

Yes.
Side note, my recovery problem was fixed. Make sure you're all on the latest recovery, mine got replaced somehow.

Anyone got any tips or settings for screen calibration they care to share?

Do I need to have root to install?

This is an issue with a su add on found in those roms. Flash this file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzZ9GYzoA6tMd1NVTXROSGZ3RTg/view?usp=drivesdk
Then flash the kernel again. Then SafetyNet will pass, if you want to have root then flash supersu 2.79 and use root switch to disable root whenever you need to use anything that checks SafetyNet.
This are my results with above steps...

Add native xbox controller support.
09.03.2014 : v1.0.0-noIUPC released.
Same version as initial, but with ignore unstable power charging removed, so USB tethering should work again (at the cost of a slow battery charging back).
FYI : the "no_IUPC" version means : no Ignore Unstable Power Charging.
08.03.2014 : v1.0.0 released.
Initial release (check actual features on post #1).

It's a plug and play, but if you want, you can try trickster for setting stuff like zram on or off, but nothing much to do though.

Your Kernel really rocks. I have been always using your Kernel for close to stock. I am still using LiteGX.
I have tried several one but was looking for one which is hassle free. Your is the one.
This one I will not use now due to USB tethering broken, will wait for next version with that fix.

As long as you flash it on android 4.3 and that the automatical script during procedure won't stop you before checking, then you are good to go
When samsung release his (for example 4.3) source, you can be sure that it will be compatible with every 4.3 future coming firmwares :good:
Sometimes a ramdisk upgrade can also help in some case, so if needed I will do it, no worries

As stated in the story part of post #1, and as Mosh Edd said, this is a flash and play kernel :good: but you can still configure governor settings or some options directly via TricksterMod/SetCPU, etc (don't forget to keep settings after rebooting).

I intentionally disabled stock ZRAM which was on by default via defconfig so no way to activate it manually :angel:
I decided to always disabled it now on SImpleGX, since zram is eating battery a bit and after some ours of use you will face some random lags.

I informed Lord Boeffla about this bug which affects every kernels, he will take a look as soon as he can :good:
By waiting, I will maybe release a "no_IUPC" (no Ignore Unstable Power Charging) version in parallel for each releases, so each one will choose directly if they prefer fast charging or slow charging but with USB tethering working. I intentionally used IUPC as default because wifi it still working to share (for the few I'am using it..) and that I prefer to not wait hours to charge only 10% of my device

Thanks for the reply mate. I just installed and all seem to be fine so far. will test couple of more days and update here.
BTW do we need to clean init.d folder ? i know boeffla andi frequently recommends cleaning up init.d folder. is this necessary with your kernel. Note, i dont have any issues so far (only used few mins though).
Thanks for the advise.

He is right because some init.d scripts can affects stock settings from governors for example or try to enable/disable things that is not from my kernel, etc :good:
For exemple, I'am using NeatROM 6.5 and I can see that there is a lot of scripts in init.d already by default bur they don't affect any of kernel part so it's ok
There's no other solution that checking manually each of them, sadly.

Hi,
Thanks for the new kernel!
I come from the latest LiteGX kernel, so I run the cleaner script before flashing this one. My phone hangs when I reboot. I restarted my phone to get it to boot, but then I now have SwiftKey not loading. What could be the problem?
I reverted back you LiteGX for now.

I flashed kernel last night and waited until phone settled. Checked if all works fine, and it does, and then put the phone in flight mode.
This morning I checked battery stats and it looks like battery was charging a bit while in flight mode (phone was not connected to any power source).
Funny
All is super smooth. Thank you :thumbup:

Strange, as I'am using SwiftKey also and no problem here. If phone hangs at boot this it not normal, did you tried to re-download the kernel from first post ? (maybe a bad download).
If problem still here, maybe try to Try to wipe cache + dalvik from your recovery :good:

I confirm this is funny :laugh:
By waiting, I advice you also to try a wipe cache and dalvik before reaching another 100% and disconnect again to verify :good:
I will try this night aswell to confirm or not if I have the same bug

3.0.31? Why no update to 3.0.101?

[ROM] [6.0.1] [Build 4] [03/04] Unofficial CyanogenMod 13.0

Introduction
This ROM is inspired by JustArchi's build optimizations that provide up to 6x performance boost .
I am not a developer by any means, I did my homework and I figured out how to compile and cherry-pick cool things. I am open to advice and guides that can help me make this ROM even better, you can also always ask for features and I'll do my best to bring them in.
As this is my rom for daily use, it contains many, many tweaks and endless hours of work of the best devs of XDA. In these features you can find Faux's Intelliplug, Yank555 powersuspend driver and many other stuff. At this point if you use any other kernel with my ROM you will lose about 80% of the features and the experience I want to provide will be lost. If you like other custom kernels such as Pink please kindly use official Nightlys.
If you are still here and haven't ran away you must know that you can always ask me for new features you see in other fine roms (Such as Temasek, CrDroid, etc) and if everybody like that feature (Including me) I will gladly bring it into the ROM. Don't forget that if you want a full featured ROM there's plenty of fine choices. The main idea with this is the same as with my old CM11 builds; "To stay as close to Stable CM as possible while adding on a little somethin' somethin' to make things better."
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damages to your device, always have a nandroid on hand if anything happens

Build lited with Opti-Charger
Misc updates to Kernel
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Build 15.1
-Finished bringing features of old kernel to the new one
-Implemented misc build.prop tweaks (Commit)
-Introduced Opti-Charger (To improve RAM use, more info in the spoiler)
Custom ROMs in the beginning had limited space to work with which is why Cyanogen introduced opticharging to the custom release tool in order to shrink apks to fit more apps on system partitions of the original android devices. The opticharger script pulls apart apks near the end of the build and optimizes all pngs drawables found in them. Originally this script used optipng which is great and there is absolutely no quality loss involved in the png compressions but more recently I’ve begun using pngquant because it compresses pngs even smaller 30-70% with usually an average of about 50%. Pngquant does result in a slight loss of quality but nobody has noticed yet (See more on pngquant here: http://pngquant.org/) (If you are worried about quality you can always use optipng which compresses without any quality loss themers usually use this option instead)
Currently, CyanogenMod has abandoned the use of the opticharger but many ROMs still use it such as SLIM, AOKP, LiquidSmooth, Dirty Unicorns, Carbon, Validus, and many others. Themers and app developers alike use these techniques as well to make their apps/themes run more smoothly. Making pngs 70% smaller actually makes the loading time 3 times faster for these pngs and also saves you RAM. I understand apks aren't all pngs but you'd be surprised how many junk pngs google has left behind since froyo that serve no purpose but are loaded into your ram with SystemUI anyways. Thankfully opticharging shrinks all of those undesirables by usually 50-70% and saves you several MB worth of space and speeds up your SystemUI. Since you can't unload the system UI this is well worth the effort! My motto always is every little bit counts
Many still argue that high end device don’t need opticharging anymore because they are fast enough to handle these full-sized pngs. While this is true it still doesn’t change the fact that opticharing IS still slightly faster and opticharged apks do use less ram

*Re-Enabled MP-Decision
*Added new implementation of Intelliplug directly from Faux's Github
*Removed IntelliMinMax governor (For now)
*Updated powersuspend driver to v1.5
*Updated SaberMod Toolchains
*Ditched my old build environment and bringed up @JustArchi optimizations which takes Android to a whole new level
Important changes:
- Optimized for speed yet more all instructions - ARM and THUMB (-O3)
- Optimized for speed also parts which are compiled with Clang (-O3)
- Turned off all debugging code (lack of -g)
- Eliminated redundant loads that come after stores to the same memory location, both partial and full redundancies (-fgcse-las)
- Ran a store motion pass after global common subexpression elimination. This pass attempts to move stores out of loops (-fgcse-sm)
- Performed interprocedural pointer analysis and interprocedural modification and reference analysis (-fipa-pta)
- Performed induction variable optimizations (strength reduction, induction variable merging and induction variable elimination) on trees (-fivopts)
- Didn't keep the frame pointer in a register for functions that don't need one. This avoids the instructions to save, set up and restore frame pointers; it also makes an extra register available in many functions (-fomit-frame-pointer)
- Attempted to avoid false dependencies in scheduled code by making use of registers left over after register allocation. This optimization most benefits processors with lots of registers (-frename-registers)
- Tried to reduce the number of symbolic address calculations by using shared “anchor” symbols to address nearby objects. This transformation can help to reduce the number of GOT entries and GOT accesses on some targets (-fsection-anchors)
- Performed tail duplication to enlarge superblock size. This transformation simplifies the control flow of the function allowing other optimizations to do a better job (-ftracer)
- Performed loop invariant motion on trees. It also moved operands of conditions that are invariant out of the loop, so that we can use just trivial invariantness analysis in loop unswitching. The pass also includes store motion (-ftree-loop-im)
- Created a canonical counter for number of iterations in loops for which determining number of iterations requires complicated analysis. Later optimizations then may determine the number easily (-ftree-loop-ivcanon)
- Assumed that loop indices do not overflow, and that loops with nontrivial exit condition are not infinite. This enables a wider range of loop optimizations even if the loop optimizer itself cannot prove that these assumptions are valid (-funsafe-loop-optimizations)
- Moved branches with loop invariant conditions out of the loop (-funswitch-loops)
- Constructed webs as commonly used for register allocation purposes and assigned each web individual pseudo register. This allows the register allocation pass to operate on pseudos directly, but also strengthens several other optimization passes, such as CSE, loop optimizer and trivial dead code remover (-fweb)
- Sorted the common symbols by alignment in descending order. This is to prevent gaps between symbols due to alignment constraints (-Wl,--sort-common)

FAQ
Thanks a lot @Travisholt92 for writing this guide, please give him a big thanks here!
Question 1: I am coming from (Stock or CM11), how can i install this?
Answer 1:
1. Back up all of your files, text messages, and everything else that you dont want to lose (try Easy Backup in the Google Play Store). You will lose everything stored on your phones internal storage and applications , your SD card will be safe.
2. Download the latest build posted in OP and Download GAPPS and move the .zip files onto your SD card (Remember where you put these files).
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Reboot into recovery mode by holding down the volume down button and the power button, then releasing the power button. This will come up with the Fastboot interface. Press volume down to highlight Recovery and then press volume up to boot into recovery mode.
(through TWRP)
5. Press Wipe
6. Press Advanced Wipe
7. Select Dalvik Cache, Data, Internal Storage, Cache, and System.
(Do not select microSD card or USB OTG)
8. Swipe to wipe.
9. Press Install. At the top of the screen make sure it says "Storage: microSD card". Navigate to the ROM .zip file and press it.
10. Press Add More Zips and select the GAPPS .zip file.
11. Swipe to confirm flash, reboot system, enjoy SaberMod!
(If none of these answers fix your issue read the comments for others having similar issues to see if anybody has found a fix for the issue. If the issue hasn't been meantioned previously please report the issue, leave a comment. Make sure to state what build you are running and what kernel you are using if you installed a custom kernel. If its something that happens when you perform a certain action such as after sending a text your phone reboots, try and be as detailed as possible when reporting the bug)
Question 2: I just installed (insert build name here and issue below). How do i fix this?
A. and my device is stuck at boot animation, device boots but spams with system application errors (meaning installed by your ROM not from GAPPS) , or anything else that prevents you from using your phone.
Answer: Backup your device and follow the directions for answer 1. (install the last ROM you were running if you are coming from an AOSP build if needed to back up your data)
B. and my device boots but spams with my downloaded application errors.
Answer: Uninstall the application and redownload it from the Google Play Store.

Gonna test
Que buena ver un chileno por estos lares, y más aun desarrollando roms, bastante bueno; voy a probar la ROM y ver como anda

Any severe bugs up to know?

Only CM11 bugs, wich at this stage of develeopment are almost zero. That's the idea of applying only minimal stuff, the result is a enhanced CM11 experience with the same stability.
Next build will inlude GPU and RAM OC.
.

I also prefer CM 11 for now. Better stability and performance. And your ROM is great! No bugs so far. Thanks!

BUG

It is not a bug, MPdecision shows all cores at full freq, but if you check them at real time (I.E using CoolTool) you'll see they work normally.
Anyway, I DK if add more features on the next build (Halo maybe?) or keep things simple with Linaro and Archi's optimizations. What do you guys think?

keep it simple, there are other ROMs for those who want more.
or you can make it modular and give additional functions in flashable zips

I Think that modular add ons wolud be great , btw i would like more perfomance improvements too:good:

Wonderful job, hermano trasandino'. One thing I'm missing is the Tap2Wake feature. How can I add it to this ROM ?
Thanks

I'm guessing there's still this mystical memory leak problem as in CM11?

Yes. That's the way I've done it. Just simply erase everything EXCEPT sdcard and usbotg. Then, as usual, flash this ROM and then Gapps

I've been using it since yesterday and the perfomance is amazing! I will keep this as a daily driver, just one problem: sometimes the camera doesn't take the photo, it freezes just after I push the botton (I had the same problem on CM12).

Glad to see there's actually someone using and enjoying it. I'm having pretty good battery life and performance too, I guess Linaro and JustArchi's optimizations are just magical.
Regarding the camera, I don't use stock CM11 app but "A Better Camera" from the PlayStore. GIve it a shot and tell me if the issue persists.
Regards!

Great, I will try it. By the way, there isn't block screen notifications on the rom? That would be a nice feature if you can add it and keep up the good work, I'm staying with this.

Debugging the kernel
/proc/kmsg is a file that stores all the kernel messages from the very first seconds of the boot process. A copy of that file isn't always needed to fix a bug, but since I've explained how to get one I don't even remember how many times, I'll write here the needed steps:
1. open a terminal on your phone
2. run the following commands:
- su
- cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kernel_log
3. the log will be stored in kernel_log.

If you had previously flashed the old PhilZ with Rashr, you need to flash stock FOTAKernel to use TWRP in v3.1 and later.
Use this zip that will flash a stock FOTAKernel (thanks to @TechnoSparks): http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general/stock-components-flashable-zips-t3184111/post62447981
be sure to choose your variant (e.g. C5303)!
Or, if you've got the whole C530x .ftf file, you can also flash the FOTAKernel via FlashTool.

If you want any help related to double tap to wake function you head into galaxy s3's android development section. And there you have to see for arter kernel it is the best kernel for double tap to wake and you could pm the developer for any help

I installed it, all seem work fine. Except I am not able to change a CPU governor, as there is only IO governor option on the performance tab.

That option isn't available with stock kernel too.
Don't use CM's built-in kernel tweaker. It sucks. Use Trickster MOD.

Good work bro
use this mods for next version
- Swap support
- Zram support
- CPU underclock
- CPU limiter
- O3 compression

No need to set SELinux to permissive in this kernel :victory:

So, i've tested it on RR 5.4.0 and it works but cyanogenmod recovery is SAD! can't flash anything so please include CWM, Philz and TW like other kernel.
When i flashed it, it take very long time it's normal?!

Nice kernel, i hope some features are going to be added like fast charge, faux sound and more cpu frequencies. If u want to flash another recovery use Rashr Flash tool.

WOAH a custom kernel for 5.1! Congrats @Tomoms ! I'm going to test it.

If you have already flashed PhilZ w/ Rashr, installing this kernel won't overwrite it.
Can you explain better "It takes very long"? It takes a lot of time to boot/to flash/...?
BTW, v2 is in progress! A lot of new features, I hope they work... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Yeah, I had to create it mainly because unlocking the bootloader and staying on a featureless kernel seemed nonsensical to me.

Will directly flash v2, Waiting And the thing I Love the most is "Permissive SELinux"
Sent from Xperia SP with Lollipop 5.1 (RR 5.4.0)

why use this kernel
i have rr5.4 build running quite good with philz recovery.
whats the difference bw the rr's kernel and this one.
i would like to know the features before flashing it

A small update for all of you. v2 is canceled since it doesn't boot, I'll release some point releases (1.x) which will include each feature I had previously planned for v2. So within 3 or 4 point releases we'll have what should have been v2. This will help me in debugging. v1.1 is coming today or tomorrow

flashed it but im having philz
many guyz said they lose philz recovery but not im my case
how this is possible then

- A backup is always recommended
- Flash the zip file
- You're done! Reboot and enjoy.
Via Flashify
- Make sure that you are rooted.

NO MIRRORS. If I see one it will be reported straight away without any mercy and builds will be suspended. Have some respect and read and follow this please. If you need a mirror, please tell my why and we'll take a look.
If you apply Interactive in Synapse, ALWAYS enable it for both clusters. Enabling it for only one will cause funny effects, perhaps even a solid chaos, batterydrain and other unpleasant things. You've been warned.

Fixes
Knox Popups and Warnings
Apparently Samsung decidedadd some Knox-Upgrades, which will not be so happy about my change to Permissive and tell you about this in even more annoying ways. The best solution would be a custom Rom which ships de-knoxed, but since this phone is brand-new, and you likely run stock, here is the manual way:
- Download TitaniumBackup (yet again, the Pro version is great, so please support the dev for the awesome work)
- Remove the app "Security Log" (thanks for reporting this @Cr4z33)
Wifi settings forgotten after reboot
- Go to build.prop
- Find: ro.securestorage.support
- Replace the default true value with false
- Attention: Might break PrivateMode, not tested on the S6 yet
//Automatic Fix will be added in v1.2
AMOLED CinemaMod in Display settings has distorted colors! :crying:
Flash the normal R4F. This only happens with the ViewFinderFix build. Choose the lesser of both evils.
Great, but not my Viewfinder is distorted..
Pull down the statusbar or flash the regular build.
Help, I can't edit the A53 Maximum Frequency!
Welcome to the club. We're having permission problems and weren't able to fix them yet. Rest should work fine.
Synapse is covered in Red.. Errors everywhere.. What did you do now?
No worries, just install the following Busybox to xbin (should be default) and reboot:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busyboxSome settings aren't sticking for me..
We are aware of this and are trying to figure out a fix. For now this problem should mostly be limited to the A53 max frequency.

SimplKernel 5.1.1 / Only for G925F
Only for G925F (5.1.1 BOFJ), NO OTHER variant

This applies especially here:
Code:
###Disclaimer###
Your warranty is now void. We are not responsible if your phone will be damaged, broken, bootlooping or detonating in a thermonuclear reaction.
YOU are choosing to make these modifications and accept the fact that something might go wrong.
Not quite ready yet, but it should mostly work..
This is NOT a stable build. No proper stability tests have been run, besides me using it all day long.
changelog
Code:
- Based on BOFJ 5.1.1
- Removed Bluactive and Intelliactive / Not exactly due to my free will
- Rest almost identical to previous RXF
Read this!!!
Okay. This is an earlier build which I ran for testing. Synapse is working and just about everything that ran on RXF does as well.
I have no proper changelog, since I spent all day on fighting the new SBoot.. No idea if my Zone_DMA is inside, my Git History is weird and this
was just supposed to be a testbuild...
Known Issues
Opening Synapse will lead to random vibration. Might go away after a while, did for me. This vibration might carry on randomly onwards, altough it only happened to me like once. I haven't seen random reboots, but that doesn't mean that there won't be any. But I don't think that there will be, but you never know.
Better safe than sorry
Having said this, I'm running this build all day long and haven't felt the need to throw it away yet.
This is not the final version, but it should be a mostly good running snapshot for those of you who can't wait anymore.
As this is more experimental than other builds, please report issues asap.
Only for G925F, running 5.1.1 BOFJ. NO OTHER phone or earlier version.

Is it possible to flash this kernel through Flashfy? I don't have TWRP installed.
PS. Sorry, look into zip and find some folders in /system with modules etc. There's no way to use flashify as I see((

- Multi-Cluster Power Management support
- Optimized the energy consumption for advanced multi-core SoCs including big.LITTLE.
- Multi-core scheduler enable/optimized
- Add and update Qualcomm PM driver/APM driver updated reduce battery usage during sleeping
- A lot subsystems converted to use power efficient workqueues
- Several other patches to reduce battery usage during idle state
- Tweaked/optimized the scheduler to balance the load across all CPUs without any regards to the power costs
- Tweaked the scheduler to reduce/save power by scaling down the frequency of the CPUs or idling them,
- Tweaked to predict the best time to save power on the CPU without affecting performance
- And many more can't remember
NOTE:- IMPORTANT/ HOW TO BOOST BATTERY USAGE
- USE Kernel Auditor Wear (Kernel Audiutor.. a kernel control app with many useful functions)
Kernel-Auditor-Wear
- Turn off Smart Replay and OK Google detection if you don't use it. It will reduce your battery usage.
- Set CPU GOVERNOR TO Darkness
- Turn off the ADB debugging
- Turn off Window animation scale to speed up your watch
- Turn off Always-on Screen to reduce further battery usage
- Turn off Wi-Fi if you don't use it.

Hi tested for some days good performance and battery is so difficult make miracles with this device but everything work fine, thanks

Installed kernel on stock rom on january 31st, running fine, no problems, battery life seems better

Thanks for this, I really like it with the swift rom on the watch. Is there any way to install a boot screen (like the android wear)?

Never used this but happen to stumble upon it, so tried installing the May version. Running latest Swift ROM from this forum. Installed this kernel image and when I rebooted I had no bluetooth and couldn't turn it on. Flashed back the boot image from Swift and my bluetooth is back. Not sure why this didn't work.

I will take a look. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi and many thanks again @janjan !
Installed your kernel and same bluetooth problem : disabled and can't be enabled.

Fwiw, this is usually a sign that the wifi (or other) kernel module is out of sync with the rest of the kernel. Probably a simple fix for him to make.

You are lucky, you have not yet installed it. LOL
The kernel is not useable, it messes up the
watch making it not useable.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

I was able to simply revert to my previous kernel and reapply the root zip to get back up and running. Didn't need to reset anything. That's a temp solution until the bluetooth/wifi issue is fixed.

Umm I will say BT is broken. Not like useable ..maybe if u don't know how to use kernel Audiutor app.

Yes. Don't need to reset anything. Just flash the old kernel.

The Zenwatch 3 is a Bluetooth Tethering device so it's pretty
much unusable and useless if the bluetooth is not working.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Yeah ! Testing right know...
- Bluetooth is working fine. Don't know about wi-fi.
- Smoothness seems to be greatly improved.
- Can't install my apps from my phone in playstore (unable to install : Bluetooth connexion required). I don't know if it is caused by busybox (never installed before). I will investigate...
Great job @janjan ! Many thanks for keeping our watches up !!

i am stuck at twrp, cannot into os , any idea?

I can't select 1267 MHz as max frequency, only 1094MHz.
