Full -O3 build with chipset's flags included (thanks to kdrag0n)
AnyKernel3 powered installation to stay OTA and flashers (EXKM, FKM...) friendly
ARM architecture performance and battery patches
Disabled numerous debug and logging options
Disabled several Samsung security and debug related options
Implement SafetyNet flags patches by sultanxda and kdrag0n
250 Hz timer frequency
BPF JIT compiler enabled by default
Implent CPUfreq backports by celtare21 (KuranKaname on XDA)
Westwood set as the default TCP network congestion control
ZEN v2 set as the default I/O scheduler
Disabled Kernel Samepage Merging by default for less CPU usage
Built-in Boeffla wakelock blocker with pre-configured wakelock blocklist
exFAT and vFAT filesystems support
Implent sdFAT mount options by cocafe

After flashing and rebooting, my device keeps on restarting and does not boot into the OS. Downloaded the .zip twice to make sure that the file didn't get corrupt when downloading. This looks like an amazing kernel and can't wait to use it once this issue is hopefully fixed.

Hello, unfortunately I am still facing the same issue. I noticed in your credits it said "@Geckyn for their great work in achieving the Exynos 7885's kernel compilation with Clang" however my A30 has got an Exynos 7904, could this be the root cause?

Excellent kernel
After several days of using it, it doesn't present any bug and everything is going very well.
how to install? I get error:1 on twrp
Just a bootloop a305f, not good
Is there any android 11 GSI version of this kernel?

You will need Kernel Adiutor (free from the play store) or similar app capable of allowing you to switch I/O schedulers and
CPU governors in order to be able to change and set those.
I can recommend this.

Thanks for trying out the kernel. That's weird about the WiFi. I have never had that happen in the bunch of times I have flashed it. I will def look into it.I'll have a look at the log, although at this point I'm also not that great at interpreting those, so it may not help. I'll see what I can do though

OK,well after looking at the log and trying to decipher it and then thinking a bit I have only come up with one possibility.Maybe somehow your wpa_supplicant.conf file located in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf has the wrong permissions for some reason.If you want you could try to check and possibly change the permissions.If you decide to try this I would backup the file because you never know.
The permissions should be: Owner - wifi Group - wifi...
Owner read and write/Group read and write/ others none.
If your permissions are correct on that file the only other thing I could possibly think of to do if you wanted would be to delete that file,wpa_supplicant.conf.Only after you back it up it though because you will lose all of your passwords,and reboot.It should recreate it.Do that at your own risk though.This is all I have come up with because I have never had that problem,so it's a bit difficult.
I am sorry, I think the error was my fault and not a bug of the kernel. I think the build that I am running at the moment is one I build myself and used sabermod toolchain. I remembered that I had the same problem using DMPKernel on that build. I thought I was using one of hennymmc's builds by now - so, sorry for reporting but thanks for looking into anyways.
Unfortunately I tried both and didnt solve the issue ,the permissions were set correctly btw.
I just installed the CM13 on another partition but - unless I have a flashable zip file - I can not install your kernel on that one. Would it be possible to provide the kernel as .zip?

Conducted any work on the development of the kernel? About sound problems and headphones like DJ_Steve , initially had no problems, and then there., maybe it depends on kernel version? Is there a chance to make all the improvements in version 3.4.39 ? (Google translation)

I actually haven't touched this recently at all.I've been spending too much time on the mess that is my AOSP build [emoji2]
I give up on that for now though.It's giving me a headache.
I will try to get back to this soon,as I don't even think it works with any of my builds.I don't know.I'm not even using this right now.
I never actually had any real audio issues with this however and I did use if for awhile,so that's strange.

Robot voice I have never had. And mute has the same problem that error camera. If you kill the mediaserver, the microphone performance is restored. You can use the long-known app Mediaserver Killer. (Google translation)
This particular kernel arose out of frustration at the lack of choices that T-Mobile and Canadian S6 users have when flashing ported roms with the GraceUX UI and it would not have been possible without the original source posted by @Greck99 .
Feature-wise, this is the same exact kernel included in Noble Experience; however, it has been built against a W8 configuration and uses a stock ramdisk that has been modified solely for the purpose of booting hybrid ports.
Yes, blue light filter works. So does AOD (no touch for now)
Pair this kernel with the call audio fix for grace ux for the complete Noble Experience (or whatever GraceUX port you desire) on T/W8
Suggestions and feedback are welcome. Feature requests may be considered if I determine them to be useful enough to include
Thanks to:
@Greck99 & @Noxxxious for this awesome source
@AlexisXDA for making killer roms and something to be envious of
@The Sickness for his continued work on our devices and for all his contributions
@arter97 for hybrid ramdisk commits
And the Nexus7420 team in general.
I am not responsible for your device, you are.
This kernel should work for both T-Mobile and Canadian devices,
though has only been tested on a G920W8.

Interesting.. Did you flash SU after?
Edit: It also may be necessary to wipe dalvik if you are flashing this coming from Arter. I have flashed this on two different W8s without issue, so I'm fairly certain it works
No! So sorry! Did not think about flashing su because my rom already has it installed. I'll try again next time when I flash

The main issue I have with AOD is the massive battery drain. Even with it not enabled in the kernel, the AOD app still drains battery. I actually trimmed it from my rom.
The other issue is that the only kernel I'm aware with the AOD feature is TN kernel, which the developer has chosen not to share his source.

Yeah, you're right. My only issue is I'd love to try out AOD even it drains my battery, since tn kernel brakes call function.. So if you have a test build, I'd gladly try it out

What groundwork did arter97 do? We should credit Samsung for giving us the proper bootclasspath instead.
And btw AOD is working
Thanks for making this kernel available on other models. When you need help or have feedback about the kernel PM me.

I used his commits for building the ramdisk, would've probably taken a lot more trial and error without them -- they aren't documented clearly anywhere else to my knowledge (and to be fair, not all of what he ships in the n7 kernel is required in the ramdisk for booting). Most kernel authors don't include their ramdisks in the source they post. Sure I could've decompiled the ramdisk shipped with Noble Experience and reverse engineered it, but that's not what I did. I just wanted to give credit for the path I took regardless of my opinions regarding those whose steps I followed.
I just noticed a slurry of new commits in the upstream branch which I pulled into my fork earlier today and built a test build for myself. I will be releasing it once I've had a bit of chance to test things out and make sure all is working :good: So far things are running great for me.
Thank you very much for the work you've done and for sharing your source. The blue light filter is the real cream for me here as the overlay in cf.lumen causes lag for me. It is greatly appreciated by myself and all the others with our device. I could've just taken a stock kernel and started from scratch, but this is oh-so-much better than that!
Kernel Updated to Version 3
This update is largely a merge with up upstream source. Kernel is feeling very smooth, and in addition AOD drivers have been added and most of the kinks have been worked out.
Kernel is now using a custom built dt.img for AOD support which has not been tested for edge devices (though the reboots never affected them). I see no reason why it shouldn't work, please let me know if it causes any catastrophic failures!
Edit: V3 Image for G925T/W8 has been re-uploaded as of 1:05pm PST. Fixes for call audio regarding the custom dt.img -- removed it as it's not needed.

@lizaSB nice work. I see now that I have some compitition lol. JK.
Glad to see some fresh blood here on the kernel side.
Works beautifully on my G920T (XAR). Thanks OP! One thing though: I would suggest highlighting the note that installing SuperSU immediately afterwards is mandatory to make it more easily seen as the device wouldn't boot without it...

No need to worry about that. I dont do ports of any kind.
This development of RACER KERNEL for Pixel is suspended for a while. I should start after Chainfire comes up with a good root solution for O with Pixel.

@MikeChannon the job is done. Thank you for your patience.
This is my base kernel for now It has O Preview 1 code (which has 7.1.2_MR2.1 merged in) + Linux 3.18.36 to 3.18.49
Do please let me know how it works for you.
safetynet patched? Does magisk work with it?

@rohitece06:
You can try magisk and let me know. Kernel is stable and stock. I haven't done anything specific about safety net, so no. I am new to Pixel. Pl point me to safetynet patches if possible.

I installed it on pixeldust rom and it broke the rom. dialer app disappeared. hangout stopped working. android auto started to force close.
I dont know how to patch a kernel for safetynet

It runs fine with stock o preview. Its my daily driver. I'll see what pixeldust ROM is and figure out if it can be supported.
FYI kernel boots fine for me on 7.1.2 stock. Nice job!

OS Used to build : Ubuntu 17.04
Edit: Link refreshed with new build. I had two random reboots in quick succession after running for a while. Code simplified further. (c-picks trimmed from franco to flar level)
I have limited use with this kernel but my immediate impression is good. Apps and transitions seem to be a touch quicker. Everything is very smooth. Thanks for your work!

Do let me know if you have reboots. MR2 has some scheduler commits, most of which I have excluded. I have kept scheduler largely at mr1-eas level in latest build. I am trying my best to cause stress to the phone and induce a reboot.

I havnt seen anything negative yet. Will let you know. Are you trying to stress your phone in test builds or trying to stress any phone with the newest release??

An log or during which activity? I had a huge problem of data corruption and had to wipe the phone trying out a modded thermal conf, but none in normal use.

RZ Kernel aims for as stock experience as possible. It is made from Samsung's stock kernel with stability updates thanks to great guys who made ELS (exynos-linux-stable) branch
It also attempts to increase overall multitasking performance while maintaining good battery life with proper settings
Features
Adapted new Samsung EMS scheduler from Samsung 4.14 kernel (with 16ms PELT)
Gaming optimizations (reduce heat while maintaining performance stability)
Disabled battery-hogging WAKELOCKS
WireGuard and DriveDroid support
Security patch fixes adapted
Thanks to corsicanu for helping me with initial kernel support

Notices and Q&A
The kernel is based on tw10-android-4.9-q branch of ELS, which is currently at stable state from my experience
Other related features of the kernel were picked from other sources. Credits belong to the owner
The kernel's energy costs table is remade in favor of new EMS scheduler
Questions and Answers (Q&A)
Q: AnTuTu scores please?
A: This kernel isn't made for benchmarks so let's not talk about it
Q: My phone gets hot while using this kernel?
A: Short answer: It's your own issue, fix it yourself. Nobody makes a kernel just to burn your hands
Long answer:
Install Termux app from Play Store
Enable screen rotation, open Termux in landspace mode
Type this command: su -c top -d 2
A list of processes will appear and refresh with 2s interval. Find which process consumes the most CPU usage with [%CPU] column and the package name in ARGS column. You should see the culprit of your issue
Reminder: There is no such thing as "I have nothing in background but the phone still heats up". There definitely something happen and 99% of the time it's some of the rogue apps running in background
Q: Can you add X Y Z feature to this kernel?
A: I want to keep the kernel clean and simple. However, if the feature is really useful, I'll consider adapting it with proper performance check before releasing
Q: Installation procedure?
A: Simply flash the kernel with supported ROM and forget. No Magisk reinstallation needed
Reversed for future usage
Another kernel for S9 devices, awesome.?
Thanks
Updated initial release with latest defconfig base for DTC5 vendor
Limit of downloadings from google...
Hey. Will this kernel Work with dtc4 vendor?
Build kernel from scratch
I need help with building kernel outside of android build system.
I have downloaded sources from here: https://github.com/LineageOS/android..._universal9810 , installed cross-compiler, configured with "make exynos9810-starlte_defconfig", build with "make". For now I have file arch/arm64/boot/Image .
How to build correct dtb and pack it with the Image file to bootable image?
Thank you.
Second public build is coming, and this will be the final build of the kernel project!
We have been going through lots of ups and downs in the testing group, so here are the results
Changes:
Fixes zram on boot
Adapted a new kernel scheduler, supporting 32/64-bit task scheduling
Critical scheduler performance fixes
Adapted newer vendor support
As this is the final build of the whole kernel project, I'd like to say thank you to all supporters/developers who helped me improving the kernel. The whole project hasn't lasted long, but it was a great time. This and the RZ Kernel project for Exynos 8895 will also be abandoned, unfortunately
Once again, thank you for all your support!

Arigathanks! I've been using the kernel for quite sometime and I like how it's underclocked by default. What device would you be moving to?
Sad to see such a nice kernel getting abandoned.
What needs to be done to keep it updated and relevant? Would love to keep it alive.
Using this kernel with havoc os, all is good as a daily driver battery life with this combo is awesome

Perhaps you can clone my kernel repo and do something with it. The most contemplating thing is to handle future vendor updates from Samsung. The kernel might go unbootable on latest One UI at some point, so someone must be doing the stock defconfig update (that's the least requirement to boot One UI ROMs with newer vendor)
Hmmm....Usually I can verify that the kernel has been installed by checking it's build date. But it still shows the same like before. I'm running official LOS and flashed the kernel in LOS recovery. According to the log it went fine. Maybe it doesn't work with that recovery?
Edit: Ok, in TWRP it works fine.
Anyone tried using with the latest vendor / security patch? I'm on Alexis ROM 1.8 would love to continue using this kenel.

It works without issues for the most part except for USB C audio output which stutters compared to stock kernel.

I tried it. Some tweaks not working like showing download speed and reverted back the old power menu (no emergency call) which is baked in the rom and the settings menu changes like 2 battery options in the menu. One is fixed at maximum power saving and cant change while another is on the device health or something which can be change. I also found that sometimes it ramps up the clocks without any reason i still manage to get 4.5-5.3hrs of sot with light usage. The chrome is unusable since it bugged out like its inverted color and cant see sh*t.

How was the standby drain? What twrp did you use? I used 3.4.0.0 of TWRP. The chrome is super dark and cant see. Can you confirm this or im an isolated case? Do you think its because of not using twrp 3.3.1.1 that bugged mine? Hope you can help me. Thanks!
Made a new kernel forked from the stock nameless kernel and I got really good benchmark scores. For banking apps download universal safety fix and then hide all your banking apps and your apps that don't work with root this kernel comes with root but when you get into magisk manager you can unroot your device I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A BRICKED PHONE! if you say anything like "THIS GUY FRICKED MY PHONE" i will laugh at you Source code: https://github.com/Gavin123-code/kernel_oneplus_sm8250 Credits The Nameless-AOSP team and The Illusion-X Devs. happy flashing!

Overclocked to 4250Mhz and I got good battery life like 16 hours (THIS US ONLY TESTED ON NAMELESS) it should work on other roms but just saying and ANDROID 12 only I'll try to keep it updated with nameless updates but updates will stop when they switch kernel if they do.

I thought you said detected as rooted because this kernel is prerooted and with magisk Manager you can unroot
You need to post your source. Also you should really provide more info in the OP, especially since it's already patched with magisk supposedly...
Thanks for the build .
Can you post the source please ?
Have you modified illusion X ? If so what features?
Would be great to have more cpu governor's / TCP algorithms and I/O schedulers . As well as under clocking CPU and GPU
Looking forward to upcoming releases .
UPDATE ** Experiencing extreme lag when switching between apps .
GPU has -44mhz - 800mhz clock speeds , perhaps -44hz is the issue?
Your on the right track , great to see fresh kernel ( fork )
