No, the features are listed in the OP...

Thank you!
Mtweaks or Kernel adiutor works fine. The kernel is very close to stock, only updated linux patches and that's it :good: (check the OP for all features)

Magisk working?

 

[Tkkg1994]

Magisk working?

You can try any kernel and magisk won't work. Magisk needs fixing, that's not something me or anyone else could change...

Since topjohnwu is in the army he won't be able to do much but I will help him to figure it out once he is back

Is dex patched? can we start Dex with "normal" hdmi adapter and/or chromecast or sideview/miracast?

Not yet but that can be added for sure :good:

yeah. this would be cool! :good: btw. i'm new to s9 came from s7e. is it possible to start dex (when kernel is patched) if i use a mirroring app like sidesync, teamviewer, chromcast, Mobizen, Airdroid and so on...

Not sure what happened, but my phone performs a lot slower after flashing this kernel. Also, is it normal that when flashing the kernel, the device automatically reboots? I also get the SecuritylogAgent notification now.

 

[bar9111]

Just flashed the kernel and my phone i very laggy and it keeps rebooting over and over
Don't know why is this hapening

 

[Tkkg1994]

I found that random rw speed is drastically reduced due to the linux updates. I'll find the related commit and revert it!

Thanks for your understanding

In case anything goes wrong or looks suspicious, you can always attach a log from your problem :good:

Face & Iris Recognition Errors.

I've just flashed kernal and phone boots fine into setup. Face and iris recognition has stopped working. It states it can't see your face or eyes. Is this a known problem?
Thanks in advance.

Not a known problem (otherwise it would be listed in the bug list). Kernel logs are always welcome

 

[dejong12]

Tkkg, can you post a zip with the stock kernel in the mean time for me to flash? My phone is unusable in this state.

 

[gitlygit]

Is it me, I can only get big cores to clock to 1794 in Adiutor?
