Tags:
To avoid confusion with the OFFICIAL CyanogenMod build tags that include Nightly/Developement (every 24 hours, experimental, newest features, unstable) and Snapshot/Release (every 1-2 months, suitable for daily use, devices signed-off by maintainers for inclusion), these UNOFFICIAL builds have three tags:
STABLE: include tested changes and confirmed bug fixes;
are suitable for daily use.
TESTING: include experimental changes to be evaluated and to possibly fix some issues;
may be used as daily driver only if they don't break functionality or introduce new issues.
VZW-ONLY: same as TESTING builds, but support Verizon variant (VZW SM-N910V) only.

Status:
This ROM supports all Snapdragon variants, especially US variants (Verizon / VZW SM-N910V, T-Mobile/TMO SM-N910T, Sprint / SPR SM-N910P, and US Cellular / USC SM-N910R4) and Canadian variant (SM-N910W8). This is only possible because I made major changes to the kernel, init, and frameworks/telephony overlays. Moreoever, the vendor proprietary blobs for VZW variant support both CDMA and GSM networks. So, the device name/model and related properties will reflect the VZW base/blobs.

Kernel:
For stability, this ROM uses ~pure Samsung source code for the kernel with carefully cherry-picked commits from CAF MSM 3.10 source code for APQ8084. A few patches are merged to implement some CMHW features. Moreover, driver updates are integrated from the latest Samsung releases.
Base Source Code: SM-N910V_NA_MM_Opensource_N910VVRU2CPD1.zip
Latest Source Code: SM-N910T_NA_MM_Opensource_N910TUVU2EPJ2.zip

Thanks hsbadr! And I also want to say thank you for your continued support on our phones. So after I flash this it would be ok to restore my other marshmallow roms and vise versa? Didn't know since this is Nougat. Really appreciate your time and help.
Oh my god! This is extremely exciting!
I'm going to wait to see how stable it is, since my Note is my daily driver, but I can't wait to flash this.

Well there's Dual Boot Patcher. If it works with that, I could try it out of without breaking CM13.
@hsbadr, amazing job on the build sir! Everything seems to be running smoothly, first boot took about 10 minutes, and after that I breezed through the setup. Found that the old trick of quickly running your finger over the fingerprint sensor to set up prints worked beautifully. Going to try flashing Xposed here in a bit. I will report any and all FC's, or issues, while also running @chevyrhoads Note 7 port. Thank you!

Ohhh, I misunderstood. I thought you were asking about the Nougat seamless updates thing, and how some had been speculating that the dual-partitioning could be repurposed by developers for a dual-boot paradigm.

Thanks for making this HS.. Just curious if anyone is using this on TING? It installed fine for me.. but i have no cell connection, And when i goto APN settings it says no settings available for this user. Anyone run into this yet?
Actually it isn't seeing my Sim at all.
Kirisakura-Kernel for the Asus Zenfone 6
Hello everyone,
After rising to the most popular Kernel on Pixel 3/XL, here it is for the Asus Zenfone 6!
Kirisakura - Kernel is designed to bring a handful of beneficial features to the device, while ensuring excellent performance and smoothness to get you safely through the day!
This project aims to keep most of the subsystems updated, way ahead of the stock kernel, thereby improving security and performance, while keeping stability as the foucs during testing! This includes Linux-Stable, CAF-Upstream and kernel/common.
Kernel Control Flow Integrity (Kernel-CFI), which is achieved by linking the kernel with LLD and Link Time Optimization (LTO), more precisely ThinLTO, are quite unique security features. In fact this, alongside Kirisakura-Kernel for the OnePlus 8 Pro, may be (and probably is) the first 4.19 msm kernel with a fully working Kernel-CFI implementation and CFI-Violations fixed on a smartphone.
The only kernels made by OEMs offering this security feature are the ones for the Pixel 3, 4 and 5 devices.
The recently released Kirisakura-Kernel for the OnePlus 8 Pro was featured on the XDA-Portal due to the inclusion of CFI. The featured article explains CFI in great details, is easy to understand and definitely worth to read.
Another security feature is Shadow Call Stack (SCS). Similar to CFI, only the Pixel 3, 4 and 5 kernels use this security feature.
SCS is another security patchset that is aimed at preventing attacks via return oriented programming (ROP).
ROP is a technique where the attacker gains control of the kernel stack to overwrite function return addresses and redirect execution to carefully selected parts of existing kernel code.
If you´re interested here are a few good links:
Google Security Blog explaining SCS.
LLVM doc about SCS
Android DOCs documenting SCS
If reading about upstream in the paragraph above got you curious,have a read about Linux-Stable and why it is important here. The stable-process is not the same for every subsystem, but the general idea, rule of thumb and benefits are applicable for other subsystems as well.
Quick explanation of CAF-Upstream. CAF is short for Codeaurora-Forums. This is the place where development from Qualcomm for their SoCs happens. This includes the Snapdragon 855/+ that´s built into the different SKUs of the Zenfone 6.
The kernel-bases available on the Codeaurora-Forums, are basically the foundations OEMs use, to build their own kernel additions on top for devices featuring Qualcomm SoCs.
The Qualcomm developers push regular updates to the bases of the different SoCs, a bit similar to how Linux-Upstream works. OEMs usually stop updating the initial base after the phone is released.
This kernel focuses amongst the other features to provide the latest CAF-Updates merged in a regular manner, to provide updates, improvements and enhancements for SoC specific drivers and subsystems! This might take a while, because a lot of device specific testing is done on my end to ensure stability.
The kernel includes a lot of improvements and contributions from other developers as well. Without this kernel would not exist.
Many of the improvements originate from @arter97´s, @kdrag0n´s and @Sultanxda´s work. Many others contributed in some way or another to this kernel.
A big thanks to all of them at this place!
Now lets continue with a list of features in the next paragraph!
Main Features:
- Based on latest kernel sources from Asus for Android 11
- Upstreamed against latest CAF
- Linux-Stable-Upstream included to latest 4.14.220
- compiled with Clang 11.0.1 prebuilt from Google
- Link-Time-Optimization (LTO)
- Kernel Control-Flow-Integration (CFI) and Link-Time-Optimization (LTO) ported from 4.19 kernel/common
- Shadow Call Stack (SCS) Security-Feature
- Use ThinLTO which was first used in the Pixel 4 XL Android R-Preview Kernel instead of full LTO for full program visibility (needed by CFI)
- fix CFI-Violations found in various subsystems like Asus/device specific drivers and qualcomm drivers
- Link the kernel with LLD and use RELR-Relocation
- include important fixes/improvements from kernel/common
- Flashing the kernel will keep root!
- Anykernel zip is based on the all new Anykernel3 release from @osm0sis
- include vDSO 32 patches to improve 32-bit performance
- disable various debugging configs, that are not needed in a perf build kernel according to google.
- disable selinux auditing (we don´t have to adress selinux denials running a stock rom)
EAS related features:
- backported scheduler from sd865
- disable autogroups and use cgroups for more efficient task placement!
- disable core_ctl for improved task placement and load balancing
- updates from kernel/common
- scheduler updates from Googles Pixel kernel
CPU related features:
- Power saving workingqueues enabled by default (toggleable in EXKM)
have a read here: https://lwn.net/Articles/731052/
this complements EAS in general
- Change various drivers ( MM, audio) to user power efficient workingqueues. This should work well in conjunction with EAS
- include cpuidle patches from CAF
- improvements to cpufreq/times/stats
- improve memory allocations in binder driver
- vdso32 patches as found on Google Pixel devices (brief documentation here)
File System related features:
- Set the bio REQ_NOENCRYPT flag (When lower layers such as dm-crypt observe the REQ_NOENCRYPT flag, it helps the I/O stack avoid redundant encryption, improving performance and power utilization. ) (CAF default)
- improve memory allocations in sdcardfs
- improve eventpoll logging to stop indicting timerfd (improves kernel wakelock readability)
- improve memory allocations in kernfs
- writeback: hardcode dirty_expire_centisecs=3000 based on this commit
- ufs improvements from pixel 4/ pixel 5 kernel
GPU related features:
- KCAL to control the display
- KLAPSE integrated
- KCAL/KLAPSE: changes safety measures -> allow completely disabling two RGB values (this was requested to, for example, only have red values on night dimming)
Network related features:
- Wireguard Support (Details)
- advanced TCP algorithms enabled
- includes new bbr and bbrv2
Memory related features:
- Memory Management patches from mainline kernel
- Speculative Page Faults (1. 2)
- Fix various memory leaks in different subsystems
- Reap memory of a task that receives sigkill
- enabled per process reclaim
- allow ZRAM to use higher swappiness values than 100
- possibility to use lzo-rle as default ZRAM compression algorithm (more information here and there )
Security related features:
- Control-Flow-Integration (CFI) and Link-Time-Optimization (LTO) ported from 4.19 kernel/common and Pixel 4/XL Kernel
- Use ThinLTO which was first used in the Pixel 4 XL Android R-Kernel instead of full LTO
- Shadow Call Stack (SCS) Security-Feature
- fix various CFI-Violations found in various subsystems like Asus/device specific drivers and qualcomm drivers
- enable init_on_alloc for even more security, more information can be found in the commit message
WLAN Driver
- use CAF wlan driver and compile it inline, the only way to ensure working wlan with this kernel
- the kernel cannot even force load prebuild WLAN module as the kernel base is way to far from stock!
- do no longer rely on the pre compiled wlan driver module
- completely removed qcom_rx wakelock in the wlan driver
- removed debugging from wlan driver
- removed logging from wlan driver
Magisk Companion Module
- set kernel settings like I intend them to be
Misc Features:
Wakelock Blocker:
- advanced wakelock blocker with the ability to block any wakelocks (dangerous, use with caution)
- please read [URL="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/08/p-is-for-power-how-google-tests-tracks-and-improves-android-battery-life/"]this for further info
- blocking a kernel wakelock should only be done in case of firmware incompatabilities (WiFi network at work (can´t be changed) causes deep sleep to not work on the phone.) That´s the only use case I see for this feature. The kernel does not features this to improve battery life!
Other features:
- disable logging to make the kernel more lightweight in various places
- fix several coding issues detected by newer Clang-Toolchains
- add support for steam controller
- add support for nintendo switch controller
- ufs improvements from pixel 4/ pixel 5 kernel
- gpu/kgsl improvements from pixel 4/pixel 5 kernel
Feature section for the "non visible" but perceptible improvements:
- updated binder section (responsible for interprocess communication)
- updated sdcardfs ; have a read about it here:
Requirements
- unlocked Bootloader
- USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
- latest adb and fastboot binaries
- working adb and fastboot environment
- magisk root
How to flash the Kernel:
1. Download the latest kernel.zip
1a. Optional: While it may not be necessary all times, you may want to restore stock boot.img, re-root with magisk and optionally install twrp.zip if coming from another kernel. Before reporting issues make sure you do that! Thank you!
2. Make sure to use latest Magisk stable. (not the latest canary!)
3. Flash the kernel.zip via latest EXKM or FKM app. Alternatively via TWRP.
4. Reboot and profit.

Which RAM version do you have please?

The 8GB version. RAM variant shouldn´t matter.
1. Does it have to be magisk stable or is canary (dev version) ok? I am asking because i need to use canary so my stupid pay app will not detect root.
2. This might sound stupid but what is magisk companion and where do i get it? I can not find it in the magisk modules repository or on xda and neither google.

1. you can probably use the canaries of magisk too. But keep in mind, they’re canary builds for a reason. If you’re having issues, flash to magisk stable and see if you can reproduce them.
2. Like @jeremyet said, it’s in the download folder in the OP
good job man
@Freak07: Cool, the first costom kernel for the Zenfone 6, thanks
I am still thinking of switching to the Zenfone 6, one feature I currently use a lot, is the "USB fast charge" : it makes a big difference, if I have my Smartphone for file transfer on my Laptop or PC, whether it charges in the background only with 500 mAh or with a little over 900 mAh on my USB 3 ports.
Does your kernel support USB fast charge / if not: will it be supported? (some custom kernels devs don't want to implement it, bacause it is not an official feature and "might" not work perfectly)
Coming from stock kernel, I got stuck at the Zenfone logo during reboot after the first flash with exkm. Volume down+power fixed that and after flashing a second time all seems to be working ? zram is at 684mb for my 6Gb variant.
Thank you a lot.
A quick question about the kernel source: Is there an API/kernel endpoint that can be used to query and manipulate the flip camera's motor? If so, is it something than can be accessed from userland? I was wondering if one might be able to write a shell script that can be used to send commands to it.
Does camera has OIS? I've seen OIS code in DTS

It's not the object of this thread.
There's a "ask me anything thread" in the discussions forum.
Flashing via EXKM will NOT work, if you’re on the latest magisk canary! (currently 19305!)
19302 is still working fine with EXKM, as is stable 19.3. Big changes in magisk are coming. we will have to wait for flar2 to find a new way of flashing zips.
Can this be flashed on the latest update or does it require an update from you? If not are there any downsides to it not being based on the most current kernel source code then?
Kind regards

Wait a bit. I’ll release an update soon. (hopefully later today) This will have latest asus sources merged.
I currently see 2 downloads for my kernel :cyclops: so I thought I can take it slow.
Testing was good so it should be ready for prime time stay tuned!
Thanks for your effort.
If think the two downloads are because of the scarce availability of the phone. I ordered mine on 5th of June on Amazon Germany the 6GB RAM 128GB ROM variant (only model they sell) and it took until 1st of July to get to me
I would have ordered on the Asus eShop but they don't ship to my country/don't have a shop for my country
Just take a look in the UK availability thread it's even worse there

First read existing issues and the F.A.Q Below to ensure its not a duplicate
Properly report issues by Submitting an issue on GitHub
provide as much info as possible so the issue is not ignored / closed
V7.0 Release Notes :-
Its only fitting to release V7 in July isn't it. The ROM is 2 years old and still has an active following which blows my mind. id like to say thanks to all the users for your support all this time, and especially a big thanks to the testing team who stuck by me for this long.
Between my university, life and other projects, i haven't had consistent time to work on the ROM, i have updated it to the latest note 9 release (which is the last one by samsung) with May 2022 Security patch. Ive done some work on the kernel and base to remove some of the issues caused in V6, added a bunch of new fixes we gathered over time and from the note 8 Q project. and just overall tidy up the ROM, there is still some work left to do, but i dont want to delay V7 any further, if/when we do another version, it will contain more experimental fixes that didn't make it here.
I have done some changes to audio, which may be better or worse on the long run, hopefully to the better, the rom only had couple months of testing with a very small test group, so i wouldn't say its bullet proof. RAM, Camera Audio and overall stability has been worked on, and hopefully this reflects in real usage. ive only used the S7 to play a couple games and use some social media, as it is not my daily driver.
So far the black screen / alarm issue has not been commonly reported, neither did audio muting, however i cant rule out that it was fully fixed until it is tested by much more people. incase you still face these issues, open new reports on github
Overall i hope this new version works better for everyone, we reached the peak of what we can fix back in V6 and that was quite underwhelming, so hopefully with this new release Exynos8890 gets a new lease on life, atleast when it comes to OneUI
And no, i do not think we will ever see a OneUI 3 public release, it is simply too buggy to even look at.
Thanks everyone for your continuous support throughout the years.
V6.0 Release Notes :-
Its been 5 months since the last release, i expected the popularity of this rom to go down and vanish. however, 30 thousand downloads later, i think it is time to push another update. perhaps the last Q update. i dont know what more i can improve in this rom.
This release comes with a ton of significant fixes in every direction, be sure to read the changelog as it covers everything. all the way from stability, to muting to performance was adjusted.
EIS (Video stabilization) has also been enabled and fixed in this release
as mentioned, i am not sure what more can be done to make Q better, right now we are down to basically near impossible to fix errors. the overall experience is great with the stock kernel. and basically future versions might not carry big changelists anymore, and only basic rebases. however ive proven my self wrong many times before so lets wait and see
Make sure to check the F.A.Q if you still face muting. so far its frequency dropped significantly where i think it is as good as it gets
P.S : Majority of the fixes are kernel sided, Do not change kernels until they are updated with new fixes
V5.0 Release Notes :-
Alright, Finally. This release was a bit rough due to the immense changes in 2.5 and how late firmware took to be released.
I hope you enjoy this release, A LOT has been changed, and alot of bugs has been resolved both directly and indirectly
Some bugs like Audio muting and overnight crash never occured under testing, so they might be resolved too, however i will not rule that unless public reviews come in.
Id like to give a big shoutout to the testers group who has been at work for over 3 weeks hard testing this release
Another thing to mention is, i had to remove DeX Wireless mode for being too unstable. so sadly you guys wont get it in this release.
i don't know if its fixable, but that's a problem for another day
The F.A.Q as always has been updated to reflect new changes, so give it a read please. Regarding the remaining bugs, better workarounds now exist so check them out
Warning : Dirty flash is not recommended, some testers faced issues. do it under your own risk, and avoid reporting issues if you dirty flashed please!
V4.0 Release Notes :-
Hey everyone, we meet again. This release again focuses on stability and misc improvements, has some additional features such as secure folder
but the main focus was fixing our existing bugs. Based on ~3 weeks worth of testing, there are great improvements to almost every part of the ROM
The F.A.Q as always has been updated to reflect new changes, so give it a read please. Regarding the remaining bugs, better workarounds now exist so check them out
While i wanted to release this on my schedule (20 of each month) i had to delay it due to health issues with my father. so thanks for understanding and I'm happy to say that he is on his way to recovery, it was scary times for sure. but taught us a lot.
chatter aside, i hope you enjoy the ROM, and let me know how it goes, Development on V5 starts early next month, and this time hopefully I'm focusing on More features possibly a OneUI 2.5 port if it came in time. will see how it goes
V3.0 Release Notes :-
Hi once again, Hope you enjoy this release. while its a smaller update compared to V2. this focuses more on stability and fixing some annoying issues from V2.
OneUI 2.1 Gives us great fixes regarding memory leaks and performance degradation. and I've improved and re-did all the fixes I've developed for this port to be much simpler and easier to update in the future. instead of relying purely on Hacks.
There are still some bugs that i am starting to feel like we will never fix, but then again this is only the 3rd release. so we will see
how it goes in the future.
The F.A.Q as always has been updated with new notes and workarounds.
With that said, Enjoy the release. hope you like it. and as always, if you appreciate what i do, leave a thanks, constructive feedback and consider a donation
V2.0 Release Notes :-
Hello again, Ive taken my time With this release and spent significantly more time trying to improve the experience as much as possible.
There are still some bugs remaining, the biggest being the overnight crash (which thankfully we have a workaround for those who face it often)
Besides that i belive most of the remaining issues are either minor or can be lived with for now.
This release focuses on stability first, the previous base was a hacked up version of FEB and MAR with quite basic fixes. everything has been redone and hopefully for the better
Thanks you for your great reports that helped improve this ROM alot. and thanks to the testers who spent hours testing and evaluating this ROM. Please be sure to read the F.A.Q and notes to avoid issues
P.S : This version has very experimental Note 7 FE support. Let me know if it works or not, if it does, Iris probably wont work.
Initial Release Notes :-
After a battle that took months on end, im able to deliver you this project in a state were i can deem it as "Daily Driver", This was no easy task, Android Q has changed alot
And a skin such as oneui 2.0 was never intended to run on this device, But here we are. another middle finger to planned obsolescence.
Aside from project Treble, this officially is My first major project on this platform. and i hope you like it.
As the nature of "Initial releases" tend to be, expect Bugs, i wrote down the ones i can see and that are actual issues that can affect people. so make sure to read them.
And The F.A.Q and Notes page is more important than this entire post. it details stuff that you might need to do in order to avoid issues and not to look stupid reporting issues that otherwise wont happen.
Finally, This rom is only possible due to a TON of contributions from my friends @corsicanu , without him you probably wouldn't have seen this ROM.
I have also included the majority of improvements , Aroma and edits from his Amazing "HadesRom" Series which im sure you guys are familiar with already.
A Lot of great people helped me make this project, especially testers who has been digging through this ROM for over a month. make sure to check them out in the credits section.
Alright enough chit-chat. Enjoy the ROM. and do let me know in the thread how it is going on your end.
Before you post : READ everything, And especially the install steps and F.A.Q, the rom has been tested thoroughly for a long time, so if you have an critical issue like not booting or something major, you missed the instructions, posts that are irrelevant to this project will be ignored(Constructive criticism is welcomed). If you do face a new bug however, dont just say "hey bug here fix nao" provide more information, and a LOGCAT, bug reports without logcats will most likely be ignored.

Floyd v1.0 - 04.20.2020
- Initial Release[/HIDE]
Read this F.A.Q While the rom is Downloading.
NOTES :
- After installation, leave your phone to build and optimize caches. which can take upto 15 minutes on clean flash. your phone will be HOT at this stage. If DirtyFlashing, it can take upto 30mins
- Clean flash is always recommended to avoid issues especially with this release! if you faced weird issues/blackscreens/freezes a clean flash is recommended without smartswitch / samsungcloud restore
- When upgrading from V6 to V7 some users faced FCs, and issues using internal data / taking screenshots and instability / freeze mainly while using enforcing option, for those users, you must format data in TWRP (Wipe > format data > YES) this will clear all of internal data which contains incompatible data from V6.
i would again advise for a full clean flash when upgrading to V7
OneUI 2.5 Related Notes
- These are issues that are caused by OneUI 2.5 , that i have no power over to fix.
1) Google Chrome sutter/freeze : github
2) AllowedDevices list in hotspot : Github
3) goodlock SountAssistant might limit audio : Github
F.A.Q :
V7.0 Related F.A.Q :
Q : Should i use Enforcing ? What is it ? How to enable it
A :
- Selinux Enforcing can be enable by ticking ENFORCING option in AROMA installer
- Enforcing adds restrictions and does not just allow anything to access anything
- Enforcing will allow you to bypass MOST root detection and will allow many Banking apps to work again
- If you want to use ROOT + Enforcing you are likely to need Magisk Hide (magisk v23) / Denylist (V24+) to retain banking apps etc
- Selinux Enforcing is still "Testing" phase, but it should be stable for now
- Settings does not show Selinux status, to know status you can type "getenforce" in terminal emulator
- Enforcing ONLY works in the included Cronos V7.0 Kernel, and will be disabled if you change kernels
Q : Note 7 Iris ?
A :
- Iris can be registered and enabled on Note 7 However it is still experimental, and is prone to causing a random reboot every few days
- A test workaround is disabling "Screen on Iris Recognition"
- In order to have IRIS Flash light torch intensity has been disabled, instead the torch will run at max brightness always
Q : Infinity wallpapers ?
A : Infinity wallpapers were removed due to out of date S9+ Builds, as samsung no longer ships updates for it
Q : Games are Laggy/Pix-elated/Stutter/sucks/crashes
A : Open GameLauncher > Top Left menu > Game Performance > Set Game performance to "Focus on PowerSaving" : Video
Q : Phone is not charging / Discharging while charging
A : Check your battery temperature, OneUI 2 wont charge when your battery is above 42C. there is no bypass to this
Q : How to get Root ?
A : Download Magisk and follow instructions (V23.0 Is recommended if you root + easy magisk hide. rename .apk to .zip and flash via twrp if your version is old)
Q : SafetyNet ?
A : The ROM Already contains bypasses and fixes for Safetynet without the need of magisk, however if you root, you must enable HIDE to restore Hiding for many apps
V6.0 F.A.Q :
Q : Random Audio Muting new workaround
A : Incase you are still unlucky and get muting, in dialer type *#0*# and press speaker. this will restore your audio without rebooting
Q : Heavy battery usage / Drain
A : A recommendation i mentioned in my group (aside from boring calibration) is to charge your phone while its powered off multiple times.
I.e whenever possible, charge your phone to 100 when its turned off.
on oneui 2+ for some reason the battery charges from ~90 to 95% only, like there is a gap, which sometimes go as far as to 85% (system says 100% but if you charge offline it will be less than 100%)
i started doing that recently and SOT on my S7 went from barley hitting 3 to hitting over 4 hours sometimes (with light usage tho)
more info on the bug here https://github.com/ananjaser1211/FloydQ_Reports/issues/196 , i have not found a way to fix it yet
Q : phone crashes overnight (Green LED only)
A : There is no 100% method that works out of the box for "Everyone" However using the device for a day or two usually eliminates the issue fully. other workarounds include limiting charging capacity to 99% as shown below
- To recover from this crash, long press volume down and power for 10 seconds until the phone reboots
- This issue mostly happens on fresh clean installs, and goes away after few days of usage
- Having AOD or ScreenSaver might reduce the issue (in my case it did)
- Best suggestion is to either Not charge overnight for the first few days of the installation, or charge the phone while its powered off
- limiting charging capacity to 99% seems to be the best option if you want a fix right away, you can do that by using MagiskModule ACC (adaptive charging controller) module + Its config app
Q : GCAM Support?
A : You have to use Android Q compatible GCAM Otherwise it will be stuck at processing, This version of UnixCamera by @mark199850 is supported. install it then go into camera settings and restart the gcam app
Q : How to Adjust/Disable level of touch key vibration ?
A : Go to settings > Sound and vibration > Vibration Intensity > Increase or decrease Touch Interaction (lowest will disable vibration)
Q : How to Disable keylight without enabling PowerSaving ?
A : Use this app to configure key light time out settings GalaxyButtons
Q : Does this support X?
A : This ROM supports All Exynos8890 devices (S7/S7E Note7 and Note7FE) and does not support Snapdragon models
Q : I have Symlinks error / Rom wont go past splash
A : As the AROMA Told you, don't pick all the bloat. and use default settings if you don't know otherwise
A : If you previously installed Treble, and did not flash revert, Now is a good time. Your system might be too small
Q : Device is running too hot
A : If it was just set-up, Give it time and make sure everything is up-to-date.
Q : What to do after the rom is setup ?
A : Go to samsung apps, let the phone update everything except game booster
Q : My phone does NOT boot help pls
A : Ensure you have LATEST bootloader and modem installed, did all the wipes, and did your house chores.

This will fix the volume slider in whatsapp and so on. simply flash it in twrp
Download : Github
Avoid This patch, it is causing other audio issues, to resolve 3rd party call volume change, follow this workaround : Github
Quick Guides and Notes
These are the Notes in our Telegram Group, i will update it them when required
How to DirtyFlash properly / Update from a version to another
Note : Do this ONLY if i did not mention to CLEAN FLASH
1) Take a TWRP backup for all your partitions (just to be safe)
2) Wipe SYSTEM , Cache and Dalvik-cache
3) Flash the ROM.zip
4) In Aroma, select "No Wipe"
5) Select your features
Once the ROM finishes flashing, let it boot and leave the phone for ~30Mins to boot up and rebuild caches and "Upgrade"
You will notice that it will say Updating after it boots if you came from V2>V3 or V3>V4 And so on, Just leave it optimize
Warning : Your phone WILL get hot while dirty flashing and doing the Boot / optimization. so leave it rest
How to Restore EFS from a ROM Generated Backup
This only concerns Floyd and BlackDiamond ROM users. As while installing the ROM, it will automatically Create a binary Backup of your EFS Partition
Note : The EFS.img backup gets replaced everytime you flash the ROM, so be sure NOT to flash the ROM when your EFS is broken, as it will delete your old save
EFS backups are located at internal memory / EFSBackup/efs.img
How to Restore EFS Image Backups
Method 1 Using a PC (Recommended)
1) Download loggingKit on your computer
2) Extract it to a folder and press shift + right click mouse button > open powershell window here
3) Connect your phone while its in TWRP
4) in your power shell window type these commands
./adb shell
dd if=/data/media/0/EFSBackup/efs.img of=/dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/EFS
5) Your EFS Should be restored to the state it was in before you flashed the ROM
Method 2 Using TWRP
1) Go to TWRP > Advanced > Terminal
2) Type the following command
dd if=/data/media/0/EFSBackup/efs.img of=/dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/EFS
How to setup F2FS for Userdata
1) Download an F2FS Ready TWRP (MoroTwrp , or My TWRP / Note7 TWRP Here)
2) Flash the TWRP.img or .ZIP within TWRP, if you are flashing moro, just flash it as a normal ZIP, if you are flashing my image, got to flash > press flash IMG > select my recovery.img > select Recovery Partition
3) Reboot back into TWRP after flashing the new TWRP (very important)
4) Wipe > advanced wipe > Data > CHANGE > F2FS (Your entire internal storage will be wiped out! this includes ALL data on the device, take a backup)
5) Reboot and you will have DATA as F2FS
4) Repeat the same step for CACHE
Warning : DO NOT format system to F2FS, as booting from it is not supported
V4.0 Patches (Not needed on V5)
V4.0 Patches (Updated Aug 31 , 2020)
1) Volume changing in 3rd party calls (Such as whatsApp , Imo) When reducing Volume it remains loud. This patch fixes that issue and might help to reduce or eliminate the Audio Muting bug (Still needs long term testing)
For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE
Download : Github
Thanks @brkbsrn and @merdan85 for testing
2) Optimizing Apps screen showing every time you reboot the device on the note7. this fixes that issue, after installing it should no longer show optimizing every boot, if it still does that, wipe dalvik-cache and cache and let it rebuild them one last time. it will stop showing optimizing
For Note7 and Note7FE only, not required on S7/S7E
Download : Github
3) Enable AR Stickers. I made a mistake in the installation script that does not let AR Stickers show up in camera. Flash this patch only if you selected AR stickers
For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE
UPDATE SEPT 1 : ARStickerPack patch has been updated, to include the APKs since some forget to pick it up in aroma.
also might have fixed a logic issue that caused install issues on some twrps
Download : Github
4) 1120 Fonts Pack When installing BOTH google fonts and samsung 1120 font pack, both stop showing up.
this is due to both font packs being based on the same package name
For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE
Download : Github
5) 5G Wireless hotspot
This patch will enable 5G Hotspot again, regardless of what country your CSC is using. Samsung locked this for some reason in the most recent ODM update. i don't know if its a mistake on their part or what. Regardless, the bypass is enough to get it back and running
P.S : This will hide IRIS from the note 7 devices, it does not work anyway so its not a big deal for now.
For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE
Thanks isbon007 for finding the BUG, and testing the fix
Download : Github
V2.0 Patches (Not needed on V3/V4)
1) CronosKernel V4.5 [Critical] : Release Page

dtbo=dtbo partition image
Bx=Beta X
Flashing dtbo is optional but recommended
Note: Video frame insertion may be broken if you don't flash dtbo on Oneplus 8 Pro
( Report from a H2OS user )
Also it could provide node /proc/touchpanel/glove_mode_enable for glove mode, you can write 1 to enable it
Flash the images via fastboot
fastboot flash boot xxx

I'm so excited to try this kernel! if you could kindly add KCAL control, I'd be so ecstatic. it's wonderful to be able to turn up the color saturation in exkm^.
EDIT; whoops! Kcal probably already in there! sorry
Nicee ??

Do it again, i like getting whipped.
Hi I have 2 questions, I was using this on OOS 10 and loved it, hence want to try it on OOS 11 stable build which I just flashed.
1) What's the thing with this dtbo image? Can someone explain what it does?
2)Since you're only providing images, what if someone is on an Indian build and flashes the image (I'm assuming they are for the global build) will they face any issues? Though OP8 didn't get an Indian version yet so I flashed the global variant so I think I can still try this.
Also the images are already patched with magisk right?
Do you plan on making a zip installer which we can flash from EX kernel manager or similar applications?

Oem device trees are saved in dtbo image (display, fingerprint, touchpanel etc)
They shouldnt face any issue. Boot image is consists of kernel, dtb and ramdisk. I replaced kernel and dtb in the image. And I have md5sumed that ramdisk cross versions are same.
Yes, I have patched. But you may still need to patch it again, coz someone reported to me that it doesnt work (tho it works well here)
I ll make an zip installer when twrp is out
EXKM can flash images btw
Yes you need to keep your stock dtbo if you want to go back.

Thanks I shall try this now. One last question, how can I extract my stock dtbo? and flashing it is through fastboot only right?
Does payload dumper extract dtbo from OOS zips? I usually close it after boot so I haven't noticed the other files it outputs
I'm on stable OOS 11 global build on a OP8 btw, I read that it's recommended but not necessary to flash the dtbo image and only has perks for the 8 pro. Is that correct or should I still flash it

Hey I feel guilty I asked you everything about the installation but still haven't flashed it yet lol. Since I just upgraded to A11 I have been testing the radioactive kernel because it was like my main on A10 and it's been going lovely so I was a little hesitant to switch just yet
But I promise I'll try this and review it within this week for sure since I had shifted to horizon during the last week of A10 before stable A11 came and I had really liked it, I'm assuming it's only going to be better on 11
R1 runs pretty well! ?
Thank you dev ?
Planing to make it flashable through FKM or EXKM?

You can easily flash boot images in EXKM. Tap on "Flash" and then use the file chooser to navigate to the boot image.
works on 11 stable for the pro?

Yes, this kernel is based on qualcomm's source and dropped many oneplus's stuff.
Also, it prefers battery & low heat, thus you cant get the performance like stock.
Anyone else having stuttering issues when using recents?
Kirisakura-Kernel for the Asus Zenfone 8
Hello everyone,
To keep it short: Here is Kirisakura - Kernel for the Asus Zenfone 8 aka Sake. The Zenfone line-up internal codenames are traditionally derived from alcoholic drinks. Two years ago the Zenfone 6 bore the title "Kirin". The Zenfone 7 was codenamed "Tequila".
I would appreciate if everybody that flashes the kernel, reads at least once through this opening post and the following ones.
Kirisakura - Kernel is designed to bring a handful of beneficial features to the device, while ensuring excellent performance and smoothness to get you safely through the day!
If you expect a custom kernel to magically improve your devices battery life manifold and this is your only priority then this might not be the right place for you.
However the kernel is built to keep battery life close to the same as you would experience the on stock kernel while being tuned to perform better in various UI related benchmarks. The same benches are used by google to verify and ensure UI smoothness on the Pixel devices. The scheduler is tuned to yield lower jitter and reduce jank frames.
If that got your curious, I welcome you to continue reading if you´re still interested!
This project aims to keep most of the subsystems updated, way ahead of the stock kernel, thereby improving security and performance, while keeping stability as the foucs during testing! This includes Linux-Stable, CAF-Upstream and kernel/common.
A very positive development. Google pushed for CFI and SCS to be enabled by default in the android-common kernel. In this years generation ( 5.4 linux kernel base/ SD 888 ) CFI and SCS are enabled by default. It was a lot of work to get these features working nicely on the kernel I did the years back. So it´s nice to see this is now there by default in everybody can profit from it.
I put the explanations and links in hide tags here.
Spoiler: Documentation Control-Flow-Integrity (CFI) / Shadow Call Stacj (SCS)
Kernel Control Flow Integrity (Kernel-CFI), which is achieved by linking the kernel with LLD and Link Time Optimization (LTO), more precisely ThinLTO, are quite unique security features.
The recently released Kirisakura-Kernel for the OnePlus 8 Pro was featured on the XDA-Portal due to the inclusion of CFI. The featured article explains CFI in great details, is easy to understand and definitely worth to read.
If possible the latest Kirisakura-Kernel releases for various devices aim to include CFI in enforcing mode so users can benefit from this security features.
Another security feature is Shadow Call Stack (SCS).
SCS is another security patchset that is aimed at preventing attacks via return oriented programming (ROP).
ROP is a technique where the attacker gains control of the kernel stack to overwrite function return addresses and redirect execution to carefully selected parts of existing kernel code.
If you´re interested here are a few good links:
Google Security Blog explaining SCS.
LLVM doc about SCS
Android DOCs documenting SCS
If reading about upstream in the paragraph above got you curious, have a read about Linux-Stable and why it is important here. The stable-process is not the same for every subsystem, but the general idea, rule of thumb and benefits are applicable for other subsystems as well.
Read more about the Release-Model following this link.
This conversation on the LKML mailing list also shows the power of Linux-Stable and why it´s very beneficial to not just say it´s not worth and a potentiol source for bugs:
Starting with the Initial Message , the following reply and a good summarizing statement.
Quick explanation of CAF-Upstream. CAF is short for Codeaurora-Forums. This is the place where development from Qualcomm for their SoCs happens. This includes the Snapdragon 888 that´s built into the different SKUs of the Zenfone 8.
The kernel-bases available on the Codeaurora-Forums, are basically the foundations OEMs use, to build their own kernel additions on top for devices featuring Qualcomm SoCs.
The Qualcomm developers push regular updates to the bases of the different SoCs, a bit similar to how Linux-Upstream works. OEMs usually stop updating the initial base after the phone is released.
This kernel focuses amongst the other features to provide the latest CAF-Updates merged in a regular manner, to provide updates, improvements and enhancements for SoC specific drivers and subsystems! This might take a while, because a lot of device specific testing is done on my end to ensure stability.
The kernel includes a lot of improvements and contributions from other developers as well. Without this kernel would not exist.
A big part of improvements originate from @arter97´s, @kdrag0n´s and @Sultanxda´s work. Many others contributed in some way or another to this kernel.
A big thanks to all of them at this place!
Now lets continue with a list of features in the next paragraph!
Main Features:
- Based on latest kernel sources from Asus for Android 13 and intended to be used on the latest Asus Stock-Firmware
- compiled with Clang 14.0.7 and built with -O3 speed optimizations
- Linux-Stable-Upstream included to 5.4.231
- upstreamed CAF base for the Snapdragon 888 (qcoms internal codename "lahaina")
- include important fixes/improvements from kernel/common
- tune scheduler for improved jitter and less jank frames
- reduce power consumption during deep sleep
- remove logging while device is suspended
- remove sleep debugging from Asus for release build
- disable various debugging mechanisms for drivers which are not needed on a perf build (for example touchscreen, fingerprint reader, display, binder)
- disable various debugging configs, that are not needed in a perf kernel build according to google.
- disable selinux auditing (we don´t have to adress selinux denials running a stock rom)
- display tweaks to reduce power consumption on statically rendered images
- disable unnecessary CPU errata for our specific SoC
- disable per cgroup pressure tracking to reduce overhead
- SSG IO scheduler for reduced overhead and less CPU cycles (more lightweight and android optimized)
- free up RAM by removing reserved mem regions used only for debugging
- implement LRNG (thanks @arter97, see arter kernel OP for more info )
- Flashing the kernel will keep root!
- Flashable via EXKM, FKM or TWRP (if available) on a rooted system!
- Anykernel zip is based on the Anykernel3 release from @osm0sis
EAS related features:
- Implement dynamic WALT-Window size depending on current FPS, collecting information about CPU-Load to provide more precise information for the scheduler
- EAS implementation patched up to latest CAF state
- updates from kernel/common
- scheduler updates from sd888/ 5.4 kernel
- scheduler update from sony xperia 1 III kernel aiming to improve WALT
CPU related features:
- Power saving workingqueues enabled by default (toggleable in EXKM)
- Change various drivers (WLAN, MM, audio, charger, power, thermal, glink etc) to use power efficient workingqueues. This compliments EAS in general
- improvements to cpufreq/times/stats
- vdso32 patches as found on Google Pixel devices (brief documentation here) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- remove event debug logging
- disable broken irq detection, disable debugmon
- improve suspend/resume from audio driver (caf-upstream for audio-kernel)
- cpuidle: wake only cpus for which qos has changed (this allows cores to keep idle states better)
- disable debugging during sleep states as per qcom recommendation
- remove RTB logging to reduce overhead
- disable trace_printk as it shouldn´t be used on production/perf kernel builds
- enable suspend_skip_sync to save power during suspend/resume
- disable edac and coresight (following google on the pixel kernels)
- disable jtagv8 debugging as recommended by qcom for perf builds to avoid potential power, performance and memory penalty
- disable s2idle in favor of deep idle state -> improves deep sleep drain (google initially used 2idle for improved suspend/resume latency on pixel 3 and pixel 4, but disabled it on pixel 5. qcom followed suit for sd 888, but apparently didn´t see google reverting it on pixel 5. Other OEMs such as Xiaomi or OnePlus already disabled s2idle on their SD888 devices in favor of deep- read more about s2idle vs deep here)
GPU related features:
- GPU driver updated to latest CAF-State
- gpu/kgsl improvements from pixel 4/pixel 5 kernel
- add low_prio_worker thread for gpu driver (Improves performance when tearing down processes (eg, via LMK) and not blocking currently running UI from submitting work to the GPU
File System related features:
- upstream BFQ-MQ to latest state in linux-mainline and default to 128KB readahead
- improve memory allocations in kernfs
- ufs improvements from pixel 4/ pixel 5 kernel
- improve GC as to not interfere while user interaction is happening and prevent possible jitter or latency spikes
UI/UX/Usability related features from CleanSlate:
- CleanSlate features made by @tbalden
- Disclaimer: All CleanSlate features can be controlled via the free companion and config app found on CleanSlate thread here on the Zenfone 8 Forums on XDA. Please consider buying the premium versions if you enjoy using the CleanSlate features, to give a little something back to @tbalden.
Network related features:
- Wireguard Support (Details)
- advanced TCP algorithms enabled
- use bbr as default TCP congestion algorithm (fasted algo according to this excellent research from @kdrag0n found here )
- includes new bbr
- improved networking drivers from caf-upstream (especially wifi)
- remove unnecessary wakelock from WLAN driver to reduce thousands of very short wakeups during a 7 hour deep sleep period
- improved bluetooth performance (¹, ²)
- Enable support for TTL spoofing
Memory related features:
- Speculative Page Faults left enabled (1. 2) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- Fix various memory leaks in different subsystems
- improved mm with patches from mainline
- patches from kernel/common
- improve memory allocations in various subsystems, video encode/decode, kernfs, cgroup
- Backport to enable CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PMD (see here) , thanks @arter97
- Backport to enable CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PUD (commit here) , thanks @arter97
- free more RAM by removing unused reserved memory regions
- mm: Micro-optimize PID map reads for arm64 (improves game performance, especially unity based games such as genshin impact)
- MGLRU added (info here and here
Security related features:
- Control-Flow-Integration (CFI) and Link-Time-Optimization (LTO) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- Use ThinLTO which was first used in the Pixel 4 XL Android R-Kernel instead of full LTO (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- Shadow Call Stack (SCS) Security-Feature ( 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- enable init_on_alloc for even more security, more information can be found in the commit message (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
Misc Features:
Wakelock Blocker:
- advanced wakelock blocker with the ability to block any wakelocks (dangerous, use with caution)
- please read [URL="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/08/p-is-for-power-how-google-tests-tracks-and-improves-android-battery-life/"]this for further info
- blocking a kernel wakelock should only be done in case of firmware incompatabilities (WiFi network at work (can´t be changed) causes deep sleep to not work on the phone.) That´s the only use case I see for this feature. The kernel does not features this to improve battery life!
Other features:
- clean up asus drivers and fix a few warnings in kernel log
- disable logging and debugging to make the kernel more lightweight in various places (includes binder, mm, vma, gpu, ipa etc)
- fix several coding issues detected by newer Clang-Toolchains
- enlarge dmesg size to ease debugging
Flashing Guide, Download and Changelog
Requirements:
- unlocked Bootloader (this will void warranty and kill future OTA updates on all asus phones at the moment)
- USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
- latest adb and fastboot binaries
- working adb and fastboot environment
- magisk root
- a backup of stock boot.img, vendor_boot.img and dtbo.img so you can go back to stock conditions (simplest way is TWRP or to extract from stock firmware)
How to flash the Kernel:
1. Download the latest kernel.zip and make sure you have properly updated to the latest matching Asus Stock-Firmware. When the Zenfone 8 receives an OTA update it takes Asus a while to release the source code for the new OS and me a while to build a new kernel. If you don´t want to face any issues, wait until I either release an updated kernel or give green light because there were no kernel changes.
Always make sure to run the firmware the kernel is built for!
If you feel adventurous and try in advance, make sure you have a backup ready!
2. Flash the kernel.zip via latest TWRP (if available), EXKM or FKM app and do a full reboot.
3. Reboot and profit.

F.A.Q:
Question: Is root preserved when flashing this kernel?
Answer: Yes, the AnyKernel.zip will detect root and keep it.
Question: How do I return back to stock or another kernel.
Answer: Extract boot.img, vendor_boot.img as well as dtbo.img from matching firmware you are on and flash them via fastboot. If you want to keep root flash back the magisk_patched_boot.img. Or dirty flash your rom and re-root.
Question: Why is having Magisk installed mandatory for this kernel?
Answer: The kernel uses a ramdisk overlay to apply some settings after boot. If you are not rooted these settings will not get applied and you miss some of the optimizations.
Question: How to report bugs properly?
Answer: Have a look at post #3 in the linked thread. The linked guide is a pretty good starting point.
Before reporting any bug make sure you´re running on a stock configuration. That´s means you´re not using any mods, tweaks in kernel managers or other root tweaks , magisk modules, scripts or other modifications that alter various functions like sound mods, data traffic, sleeping behaviour, scheduler, magical battery tweaks etc.
Try to describe the issue as detailed as possible! Give your exact setup, like rom, magisk version, kernel version.
Is the issue reproducible? Does it happen frequently?
Provide logs, otherwise debugging is a lot harder. If you can already reproduce the issue and provide logs it greatly limits the amount of time I have to spent until I figure out how to reproduce it.
If the device force reboots/randomly reboots (that means you see the bootloader unlocked screen!) provide a .zip of /asdf.
Easiest way is immediately after booting up, with a root explorer navigate to /asdf. Copy the contents to your internal storage, zip it up and send it to me.
If the issue happens while the device is running provide a dmesg plus a logcat that you take while/shortly after the issue happens. This will log what´s running in the current session. Try to be as detailed as possible what´s happening when the issue appears. It will also help me in reading the log!
and this is mine too

Hello. I tried this kernel recently. But now I want to return to the stock core. But when I flash boot.img and dtbo.img, the settings stop working for me. There are also no items in Quick Settings. What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
I forgot to mention to restore vendor_boot.img as well.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I adjusted the OP and the FAQ already.
So to get back to stock, extract boot.img, vendor_boot.img and dtbo.img from the matching stock firmware.zip. make sure you extract from the same firmware you're currently running.
Then flash these via fastboot.
If it doesn't work afterwards your problem lies elsewhere.

Thank you. Today I will also try to flash the vendor_boot.img
no updates?
I know IT clearly says 'Zenfone 8', but is there any chance this Kernel will work on the 'Zenfone 8 Flip', too? (ZS672KS)... Ty!

unfortunately no. 8 flip uses a separate kernel.
Hi @Freak07 ,
Thanks a lot for your effort and time that you invested into developing this kernel.
However, as is the case with other custom kernels, I would like to know what kind of battery life benefits I can expect from using this kernel on my device?
Unlocking the bootloader on Asus phones right now means a bit more hassle with the updates, also rooting the phone means a bit more hassle with using some apps (safety net etc),so I would really like to know what are the benefits in terms of battery life.

Hi. Thanks. And I have a question. I noticed through the Kernel Adiutor that big and prime cpu do not sleep when there is no load, they work at low frequency (original kernel). Is this a hotplug problem? Should they not go to Offline? Do they sleep in your kernel?

That´s expected behaviour on the few last gens of QCOM SoCs. and you´re also fooled by the ui of the app.
if there are no tasks/work the clusters go into idle c-states, but kernel managers/monitors will show you the frequency that you described.
depeding which battery mode you chose in settings, minfreqs for the clusters will be higher or lower.
dynamic should be at 300mhz for little cluster, 710mhz for big cores and and 844mhz for the prime core.

Thanks man!
Could you please let us know if defconfig is stable or it's better to configure something (like cpu/gpu freq's) on the device ?
Does it support both 8GB and 16GB RAM devices?
