what would be the best kernel for S20FE Snapdragon?
Prime Kernel is focused on improving performance by streamlining things and power saving.
Klimbo Kernel is focused on performance I believe.
both have threads in the roms, kernels and recoveries section but are far more active on telegram.

Do any of the kernels (intersectraven, redstar, pershoot) for the N1 have AXI optimizations...??? I saw some of the HTC desire kernels having these and seems to boost battery life on reading what they are..both are almost clone phones and have the same processor ..thats why the curiosity ..
Yes, many kernels underclock the AXI. You could also just check the kernel threads and see their features.
I'm wondering, will it be possible to develop a kernel for seed devices that supports Undervolt for the CPU? (Like faux or elementalx) It can benefit great battery life with undervolting without losing performance, even with just a few steps down and it can help with regards to Screen On Time and heating.. Is it possible?
I'm using Official RR remix rom Nougat and I was wondering if there is any kernel that i can use to extend battery life with. I dont want to severely underclock so i cant play any games or anything. Maybe something in the middle between battery and performance.
The kernel will help with underclocking, but it's even better if you combine it with the AKT profiles.
There are 3-5 profiles to choose from, targeting to battery, performance or balance between these 2.
Unleashed by ONEPLUS 3T rooted
Go for Blackbird V1.1
Awesome battery backup on other roms compared to RR.
But better than many other kernel with regards to battery
I've been surprised to see the schedutil govenor in the Notorious Kernel and wondered if anyone knows about EAS being implemented on the Note 8?
If yes, I think that it could be a major point of tweaking and development to further squeeze more efficiency and performance out of our beloved note 8, similar to what it did for the OnePlus3/3T
I've always wondered that apart from the obvious hardware differences which contribute to the speed difference in phones like OP7P or ROG2 etc (Storage Ufs 3 vs 2.1 in K20P),
-- what's the secret to their software optimisation too?
I've seen benchmarks on custom roms vs stock miui & the difference is visible but not much & even custom kernels have a boosted score but they are still coming only close to or slightly exceeding stock OP7P scores.
In games like pubg there is significantly lesser jank & microstutters on OP7. How come?
Are the driver's much updated or tuned or the cpu scheduler tunings very different in their base software stack?
Pubg in k20pro has a much higher frametime average & level of frame drops vs OP7, especially visible with multiple squads nearby (in-game I don't think UFS3 has a significant potential of impact once assets are loaded in the game but maybe I'm wrong?)
(In general games have better stats when tested using profiling apps on OnePlus vs K20/Mi9T)
What prevents our phone from getting to that level of fluidity?
Atm I'm using immensity kernel on miui 11 & I see it's based on caf sources & there's noticeable performance boost in scores as well as real life usage but importantly the idle drain or drain while using light apps is damn low too!
For example I've not seen <150ma live drain in simple apps or in idle on stock kernel or like on Quax which is based on stock but in Immensity I'm often seeing as low as -95ma-115ma drain which is very, very good & sign of tuned cpu schedulers & other things despite using the same rom.
^^---So is this the sign that the 855 chipset is not fully utilised/optimised by Xiaomi yet?
Even black shark 2 has lesser jitter & smoother operation in daily usage (yes it has the 855+ but it's ~15-20% faster ., seems to have much better base software!)
Can we hope things will improve officially? Or Xiaomi won't prioritize base phones that much vs their 'gaming' phones?
Personally I'm hyped about PapaSmurf kernel coming for our device too! (og made for Razor phone) :fingers-crossed:
*Rumored to come this month (or maybe in Jan!)*
(Mad props to devs like UtsavTheGreat, Xenix96,AcerVenky etc who have developed some really great kernels so far & given their precious time to the community!) :highfive: :angel::good:
