Hi falcon people!
This is my modified kernel with some kernel optimizations and some compiler optimizations.
The goal of abyss is to achieve improved performance/battery without the cost of stability.
I will not be overhauling this project with changes that are not logical to add.
This kernel should work on the latest 7.x.x (and maybe 6.x.x) roms like CyanogenMod and any other AOSP based rom.
How does one achieve this?
- build kernel with an optimized toolchain
- use compiler optimization flags (experimental)
- remove redundant code
- improve existing code with more efficient code
- reduce/increase speed of timers (depends on what type of function)
- etc. (most are not easy to explain)
Built with Linaro GCC 4.9 optimized for Cortex A7 with vfpv4 technology
Is there actually a performance improvement?
With all the changes added up, there should be. Whether or not one notices the difference is another thing.
Personally, I do feel the performance difference. It is easier to notice the difference with lower level specs like ours.
For those interested in how the kernel optimizations will benefit/work, please look at my github source and read the commit messages.
For those interested in how the compiler optimizations/hacks will benefit/work, please look at this article.

Asking for ETA's won't be necessary because I use this kernel as my daily driver.
I do not mind if there's some non-development/off-topic discussion here, just no discussion about other works that is nowhere near related to mine.
Also, please refrain from comparing works here; it really kills the spirit of development. Go do that in some other thread.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this a custom kernel?
I was asked this question once, and it posed as a real good question. I do not consider abyss to be a "custom kernel" per se, but more so as a modified kernel. The patches and features that go into this kernel do not make it customizable. What they do is improve what has already been implemented. It is like swapping a car's engine for a better one rather than just adding LED flooring lights and fancy car mats.
Can you add [this] and [that] feature to abyss?
Something I pride myself with this kernel is that it does not have a bunch of random, useless features or patches mashed into it. Everything put into this kernel is thought out well and tested. I see a lot of works being made popular because it has [this] and [that] feature when really, it's nothing revolutionary. As a matter of fact, most things added to any kernel will not make it 5x better than any other kernel. Most of the time, simple is better; and in this case it definitely is!
Main Patches and Features:
- intelliplug (default hotplug)
- intelliactive governor
- KCAL Control Driver
- kexec hardboot patch for Multirom
- USB Force Fast Charge patch
- Abyss Optimizations (compiler)
- disabled debugging for more performance throughout
- lots of patches for better performance here and there... too many to list
How to install:
Download kernel from Basketbuild
Boot into TWRP recovery
(If you're coming from a different kernel, dirty flash current ROM)
Flash kernel zip
Reboot
Nice job bro ! [emoji3]
Thank you for this awesome kernel [emoji6]

It will work on any 6.x.x AOSP based rom (CyanogenMod included). The only roms it will not work with to my knowledge are Omni and SlimSaber.
edit: turns out it works with them
nx rom based cm work?
Can you add OC made be @h2o64 ? Really is a the difference if you do the benchmarks and in real life just a little so is true OC..

Sorry, I won't be adding underclocking to this kernel. There really isn't much of a need for underclocking a phone. In the long run, battery consumption will not be changed, maybe only at the slightest.
Also, the more frequencies added, the slower a CPU governor works. Most governors run calculations based on cpu load, checking whether or not it needs to move up or down a frequency step. By adding more steps, the cpu will throttle slower.
Just updated the kernel with frandom support. Also added some ramdisk modifications to support it.
More entropy == better performance.

Battery backup is good...give a try
It's great to see feedback from the users. New build with modified values; it should improve multitasking performance.

Yes, the battery is great, 18 hours standby and i get almost 4h sot, left with 52% right now. Anybody looking for great battery should go for it.
There are 4 versions (more or less) of Resurrection Remix ROMs (e.g Zenity, Sultan's, EAS-VOX) for the 3T and i don't know which to choose. I'm looking for the most stable, battery friendly and OMS-supported out of all of them. Support for custom kernels would also be nice but if it doesn't support them it's okay. Also, if there are any ROMs that has most of the features i listed, do let me know

I think they are all good but this version -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...development/rom-resurrection-remix-m-t3399960
Is the best in my opinion.
1. most frequent updates.(currently even nightlies)
2. comes with ex kernel
3. is the only aosp/laos rom out there that doesnt throttle while playing moderncombat.
I tried all other aosp/laos roms, not only all rr roms. And they all start throttling while playing moderncombat even with the same ex kernel and kernel settings. The game simply starts lagging because the cpu clocks down. And the funny thing is the device doesnt even start heating.
I was almost sure that the official rr is better but i switched back to the custom version and was shocked that it never throttles while playing even when gpu boost is on "high". You can also set the kernel settings using akt app to get better battery life. But for me the battery is good enough.

Zenity is with EAS and with a kernel based on Renderkernel.
Sultanized RR is not based on official LOS, rather on sultans LOS 14.1
more infos you can get in their threads (OP). I would choose one of these. Both are stable and with OMS

Hi all.
I am not the developer of this ROM. I have created this thread as there seems to be no real place for non-chinese speakers to discuss this ROM and help each other with any problems.
Mokee is currently at Oreo for the S5 and is under active development, receiving nightly builds.
Here is the link to the official downloads page:
https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=klte
One of the reasons I created this thread was to ask fellow users a couple of questions...
Does anyone know if Mokee 8.1 supports fast charge? It seems to take a while to charge, but I'm not sure if that's just my cable or other factors?
Does anyone else experience graphical performance issues? Playing YouTube videos is often stuttery, and I've noticed many games are laggy with lots of low fps. Performance in the ROM is generally very good, so I'm not sure if it's an issue with the gpu drivers or something...?
Cheers

I used the Magisk fast charge module which worked well.
I would recommend flashing a custom kernel.

So fast charge isn't supported as standard in Mokee?
Will a custom kernel enable it, or will that just help with graphics performance? Any recommendations?

Here are a few kernels to get you started.
SMARTPACK KERNEL:

BOEFFLA KERNEL (UNOFFICIAL)

OreKazu Kernel:

TUNED KERNEL:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...unofficial-boeffla-kernel-lmkmod-low-t3685662
I recommend using Smartpack kernel manager to tune Smartpack kernel & OreKazu kernel (link on Smartpack Op)
Use BOEFFLA configuration app for BOEFFLA (unofficial)
You can also use it for tuned kernel but it is called tuned kernel for the very reason that it comes pre tuned, just flash it and leave it to do it's thaaaang! ?
Al of the above kernels work with 15.1 Oreo. They are all excellent Kernels, but if you do not know much about tweaking kernel settings, I would recommend that you start with Tuned.
The Magisk fast charge module will work with Tuned. There is a fast charge setting in the Smartpack kernel manager for Smartpack kernel.
I hope I have covered everything.

Thanks loads, I've heard lots of good things about Smartpack so might go for that. I'll have a look at some guides about tuning it.
If I can't figure it out I'll try the tuned kernel.
The page launches a daily update and I think no one has time to download and update it daily so how often is it advisable to update the rom?

No, I always clean flash, including Format data.
I'm noticing more and more bugs:
- Web pages don't always respond to touch properly.
- Website videos don't go fullscreen properly.
- IR blaster doesn't seem to work (Anymote app says phone doesn't have one).
Anyone else have these issues? Are they fixed in recent nightly builds? Any fixes or work arounds?

I'm currently on a nightly from 2018-10-29.
I know you said that you do a clean install every time, but if I did a dirty flash of a new nightly that should be alright, yeah?
Reeaaally don't want to reset my phone again, I've done it lists recently and it's a PITA.
If I have to reset I'd probably just go for something solid like Lineage 14.1

The problem with dirty flashing is you can bring over bugs from the previous build.
I found that downloading nightlies through the Mokee centre app would allow the ROM to update automatically through a script than runs in the recovery. It didn't appear to wipe *anything* though.
Everything seemed to upgrade smoothly.
I still have the same bugs though. The nightlies mostly seem to be translations and minor bug fixes for other devices.
Introduction
Hi everyone, after building the updated los kernel I decided to build a fully custom kernel for our device. So why call it "baddar" ? it was the first name I used for the kernel and its my family name so I kept using it .
in this kernel I'm following these rules :
Security. Always updated to latest available stable Linux & CAF patches.
Stability. Tested first by myself and with many other users before posting it here.
Smoothness. Smooth navigation is must, I hate lag.
Balanced. Performance and battery must be balanced.
Features
Fully based on CAF 3.18 kernel source with latest Linux-stable merged in.
Always updated to latest drivers i.e WiFi, sdfat, etc
Built using latest GCC 9.1.1.
Custom features are heavily based on Franco work.
Vibration intensity control.
Wakelock blocker enabled by default with user control (boeffla wakelock blocker).
Fsync control.
USB fast charge up to 900mA.
Westwood TCP enabled and used by default.
zRAM optimization. (Disabled by default)
Fingerprint boost. Slightly increase the unlock speed and make it respond faster.
Interactive governor tweaks and optimization.
Kcal support.
VR & low persistence support (WIP).
50% battery bug fix.
CAD project support.
Common android kernel fixes and optimization.
Wireguard Support
and many more.
Future plans
Adding more governors & I/O that favor performance / battery when needed.
Attempt to fully fix low persistence issue in daydream.
Making the kernel better after every release.

@king1990 I went back to stock because aex and other custom ROMs i tried have delay when opening apps and it's very annoying. it open apps significantly slower than stock ROM. I set animations same as stock rom, 0.5x,0.5x and 1.0x. I can disable animations but it will look stuttery. Kernel is good, no question, but it wasn't enough for me to stay on custom rom.
With the current corruption happening on 5.x with GCC9, you're brave to use it. I would wait to know more about the issue first.

THis should work on RR6 right? I have vendor also but RR6 does not use it if I am remembering correct. anyway I am not getting a boot with RR 6 and I cant figure out why. I was on hellsgate before and i just went back and its booting again. Any ideas Maybe I cant simply flash over hellsgate, annoying.

Hello,
I started making kernel builds again.
CHECK BELOW FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
YOU MUST USE MIUI Q FIRMWARE PACKAGE FOR THIS KERNEL TO WORK. OTHERWISE YOU'LL END UP IN FASTBOOT MODE FOREVER.
Camera won't work on a lot of ROMs due to imcompatible camera drivers in the kernel. This kernel uses a patch for MIUI Stable 11.0.4 release, which introduced updated camera blobs back in Android Pie. Double check, whether your ROM uses these blobs. MIUI Q uses different blobs too, thus won't work until Xiaomi releases it's kernel source code.
FLASH THIS BEFORE FLASHING MY KERNEL. I UPLOADED FIRMWARE PACKAGE FOR YOUR CONVENIECE!
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR MIUI Q FIRMWARE PACKAGE
Flashing procedure is standard - through recovery. Magisk is optional, only if you want root.
*big thanks to rama982 for possible insights and some help from his side*
*nathanchance for android-linux stable and helping upstream our kernels*
*franciscofranco for commits that made our phone happier and snappier*
*sultanxda for his beastly development in Android scene and ridiculous understandment in kernels in general*
*also thanks to osm0sis for Anykernel3. Without this, flashing kernels would be a harder process to do*

DOWNLOAD LINK FOR GITHUB RELEASES
Due to different kernel base, older releases are irrelevant from now on.
UPDATE: I added a link for MIUI Q firmware package in the OP. Check it out and remember to flash it first before flashing my kernel. Thanks.
-------------------------------CHANGELOG------------------------------
Jelly Kernel Alpha 1.1.1 Hotfix
ALSA: pcm: Add missing copy ops check before clearing buffer (bootloop after voip videocall should be gone now)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jelly Kernel Alpha 1.1 beta release
IMPORTANT INFO! Camera won't work on a lot of ROMs due to imcompatible camera drivers in the kernel. This kernel uses a patch for MIUI Stable 11.0.4 release, which introduced updated camera blobs back in Android Pie. Double check, whether your ROM uses these blobs. MIUI Q uses different blobs, thus won't work until Xiaomi releases it's kernel source code.
If this kernel is not booting for you (going straight to fastboot mode), you need to use MIUI Q firmware package.
Changelog:
*Bringup for Clang 10 and it's now compiled with Clang 10
*Using LZ4 compression for zRAM
*Forcefully load modules (this should fix Wi-Fi problems on various ROMs)
*Rapid GC for F2FS filesystem
*Added fsync and crc check switches
*kgsl fixes and optimizations included
*Introduce additional NEON accelerated arm64 routines
*cfq io scheduler fixes and optimizations
*Tick rate increased to 300HZ for improved responsiveness
*CPU mask affinity set to 4 cores for improved efficiency
*Enabled F2FS filesystem support with encryption
*F2FS fixes
*Increased slmk's aggression rate to 192MB per app kill
*Enabled Dolby DS2 audio standard
*And more I don't really remember, check commit history for more detailed changes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jelly Kernel Alpha 1.0 beta release (don't use this release, it's deprecated)
*Complete rebase on jasmine's Q tag.
*Linux 4.4.211
*Adrenoboost enabled and set on low parameter
*Workqueques reworked for better responsiveness and lower power consumption
*Small UV for both CPU and GPU
*CPU Bitmasking
*DTB debloat (reduced kernel's footprint)
*LA.UM.8.2.r2-00600-sdm660.0 CAF tag
*Using older Wi-Fi CAF tag for better down/up speeds
And more stuff I don't remember.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER:
-There will be 1-3 kernel builds per week, unless there's nothing I can improve, then builds will be as is.
-Anyone, who has tested it already, give me some feedback in the comments.
-If you get freezes, crashes, restarts, write me up with a attached dmesg, log, anything, that can give me a clue what's wrong. Thanks. Happy JellyKernel'ing ^^

Is the any chance to get the turbo frequencies on the GPU?
I read that on some other page I can't remember where, can you please why that supposed frequency is not on the stock kernels, does it take to much energy?

I believe Qcom left off this frequency just because CPU is already close to some of their flagship SOCs in terms of CPU performance.
Everything in the source code is left done, you just need to modify a code a bit and you have higher frequency. If you want to go any higher, you would need to modify the code a lot more. Tried it and gave up on that.
It could be anything, really.
Moreover, you don't see too many phones using this exact SOC.
P.S. Funny thing though, this OC feels like placebo effect, like CPU is running faster but it's really not.
Think about it, when sdm660 came out, it was between SD821 and SD835 in terms of CPU performance. GPU is more or less the same as Adreno 430.
Gonna release new kernel build soon.
Still working out some quirks I come up every once in the while.
Stay tuned for news. Good day.

Overclocked? Using Evira for now on MIUI 11 Pie, but Evira is outdated..... Can't support Android 10
So, hope can have Overclocked kernel support Android 10

Yep, it's overclocked and it's for Android 10.
I've seen people running this with MIUI too.

Yes, but I don't think I'll keep the OC for much longer. I really don't see the benefit of it.
Phone is already really fast and snappy.
I did a build with stock clocks and compared it to the OC one. And here's the surprise - there isn't almost any difference.
I fixed several known issues which bugged me a lot and those seem to remedy all of the problems I had.
Moreover, I hate overbloated kernels with features I don't use. I like being clean and compact.
Hi, the sound control (for speaker, earpiece and headphones) available or do you plan to add it in future? They get pretty handy really. I do appreciate keeping the kernel without much bloat though. : D
