Little cpu frequency stuck near maximum

This kernel is butter smooth with all the essential features. But please fix the little cpu frequency bug, which always status at 1536 Mhz. I can't use it due to excessive battery drain sir. Please address this issue.

Thanks for the speedy update! This is amazing!

Quick question, with the latest update, will I be able to use f2fs on the data partition?

Hey @travarilo !!!
In the latest version (v4), F2FS with READ_WRITE capabilities, working perfectly!!!
And the SOT is very unique!
It only used 3% to give 38mins SOT!!!
(While LTE was on).


It's really awesome!

Only the auto brightness is not working properly with it in havocOS

THANKS FOR UR KENREL

None of the Custom Kernels seem to support fast charging. Charging on Stock is terribly slow as it is. These are much slower.

Thanx a lot man. Your latest v4 kernel is working best and smoothly for my Zenfone with AEX rom. Now if only charging speeds could be increased, it will be the perfect kernel.

I used this on 6gb version and stock rom v326. Some kernels and recoveries aren't compatible with my screen but this one is!
First boot: works great, stable, underclocks and deep sleep all work.
Second and third boot: after i unlock my phone it says "Android is starting", sd card unsupported, can look at settings but no other apps, WiFi not connected, freezes soon.
Fourth boot: perfect again.

Anyone else have this problem? It works right now so i think it's compatible, maybe I have unlucky silicon and the voltage is a bit too low during boot?

I'll keep using the kernel for now though, it's great when it does work!

I have 4gb version and this happens too. I think the developer is aware too hence he said reboot returns everything to normal.

    Hello,

    Time to release an ordinary kernel, it comes with build date, not version anymore..
    There are 2 versions, darkonah and darkonahX..
    - darkonah is a normal kernel, just like stock with some features
    - darkonahX is an EAS based kernel with overclock cpu frequency, and also use EAS cpu governors


    Features :
    - Adreno Idler
    - Wireguard VPN
    - Boeffla wakelock blocker
    - Adrenoboost
    - Better KCAL implementation
    - TCP Westwood as default
    - Some custom I/O Schedulers
    - Backlight dimmer option


    This kernel is not superior than others, not even better, you can try it but if you're not satisfied, you are free to switch, no offense.. ;)
    It's only for fun, but still DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK..


    DOWNLOAD

    Note : If you flashed darkonahX and got stuck in Asus Logo or maybe a blank display for a long time, just make a hard reboot..

    Feel free to join darkonah channel on Telegram here, nothing's special on that channel, it's all just for fun.. :p:silly::D
