That's really strange, our kernel works fine on all roms.
I guess the issue is from ROM side. Howbeit i advise you to change kernel in BL and check if the problem exists coz of my kernel. Report back once you are done!

Pardon me, i meant Bootleggers!
So then i guess, its the problem coz of ROM.
Stay tuned. Next release of DarkMagic coming soon.

Kernel seems promising, I'll flash and give feedback.
I have just one question, is there any possibility for GPU overclocking in future?

Oxofrmbl · Feb 24, 2019

So far very smooth experience. Looking forward to more from you, thx

Edit: darkness is not that good for demanding games, but schedutil makes it better for these
