Set of rules for flashaholics by @flar2 .

Great guide how to avoid problems when flashing .

https://elementalx.org/ten-rules-for-flashaholics/

Please read and follow.

TWRP Usage Guide

Make sure your kernel support f2fs file system

1.Flash patched TWRP by yarpiin
2.MAKE BACKUP( Problems with restoring backups are solved now, but just in case)
3.Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe select Data and Change File System to F2FS, you can do the same to Cache ( Not recommended )
4.Restore backup of your data
5.Reboot & enjoy

Troubleshoot
It might happen that package extract error will occure when flashing the rom (or any updater-script based zip) . In this case just restart instalator and all should be fine.

Follow these steps or you will loose your data.

Been there lol. Great to see more development for the device. Welcome and congratulations on release

 

[yarpiin]

Wow, great to see new kernel! Keep it up, gonna follow you and try it!

Clean duplicaded threads in S9+ Review and S9+ ROMs&kernels section. Just keep one thread here so in S9 / S9+ Cross section where are all kernels and ROMs


Yeah, it's since years like that... You must be used to that Now you will be know Always after click "send thread" go to check section where you opening thread because your page seems to be stuck while adding but in real the thread is opened there and added correctly...

P.S.
Polacy przejmują S9 sekcje xD

Duplicated threads are @Xda Fault . Didnt had a clue that they have been created as I had bad gateway and xda server couldnt phrase request messages qhen created . It has been reported to xda .

I will get them removed


Btw im not newbie at xda

Great performance!

 

[yarpiin]

I didn't tell that you're newbie I'm just letting you know that adding threads working like that since 1 year or something... I released S7 ROM then and was same like is now, nothing changed since then

no offence m8 :laugh: never had any problems with any of my 4 threads

Thanks! Using it right now, keep it up.

 

[yarpiin]

So you're really lucky bcz 99% users has it... And you also had it if you made XXX dupliaced themes

Looks like last of my threads been started 2 years ago , but never faced any issue with it.

Ohh well **** happens

Better battery life with this kernel. Standby drain is much better, even with gaming with pubg with high fps

Hi there, just had an opportunity to delve through the source. Very impressive work and well done, without a doubt this will influence future releases of Endurance! Would also like to quickly address something I noted, as my kernel was heavily influenced by Andrei's work.

Your commit utilising Andrei's EAS values are outdated and following the BRE5 source drop have since been updated in the exynos9810.dtsi.

Have a good day, and thanks for giving me some more stuff to play with for future releases!

Thank you for that . Will revert it then. Yea shame that Andrei stop working on it . Have read his article. This is my first exynos device so it was a nice point of start.

One thing that i noticed withs flars OC that frequencies are going to max value 2.7MHz just at ceratin ocxasions and i think that not all cores at the same time . I decided to use that commit to find out how it does work. When disable Exynos hotplug and OC big xluster to anything above 2324MHz device crashes under the load . So to make it bir snappier i jave kept Andreis max frequencies but also raise min as 850Mhz is the highest one with same voltage as the stock lowest.

I agree, truly great work accomplished by Andrei. it is a shame, albeit his merging in of the 16ms PELT was IMO the best thing to happen to this device yet.

Yep that's the nature of hotplugging. I eventually decided to maintain hotplugging and the max quad freq of 1794MHz to conserve battery. I've found hotplugging just to give insanely good Geekbench scores and not much more, likely due to the very very rare usage of those frequencies in realistic workloads. No noticeable regression in performance using 1794MHz quad in regards to user experience when using 16ms PELT.

I use 2002MHz on my OC build as I find it the best balance of performance and battery for the device. 2314 is too much of a battery regression with quad frequencies for me to justify the performance boost.

I will agree but after weeks of testing I havent found 2314MHz has a massive impact in the battery

Nature of hotplug in exynos is totaly different than snapdragon and one that I jsed to . Trus hotplugging is actualy offlining not needed cpus in my meaning.
