Some reading..

This kernel must be only flashed over an official Google Pixel 3/XL firmware !

★ WHAT TO EXPECT ★ :

(over a pure stock kernel) :

Slightly better battery life
Slightly better performance
Include only efficient (but definitely not experimental) tweaks
Stay as close as possible from pure stock source

★ FEATURES (up-to-date) ★ :

Base :

Always directly based from latest available "android-msm-crosshatch-4.9-pie-qpr2" Android source from Google (for clean work)
Compiled with stock Google (4.9.x / CLANG) toolchain with stock LTO/CFI options (for best stability and security)
Featuring AnyKernel3 (for all ramdisk compatibility)
Stock Linux

Main :

Completely optimized stock 'cfq' I/O scheduler
All TCP congestion control modules activated with Westwood currently as default
mmc/core: disabled CRC check
tcp_output: set initial TCP window size to 64K
fs: default to noatime
WireGuard support (thanks to @zx2c4)
Removed verify and forced encryption + patched SafetyNet flags to pass CTS
Some miscellaneous tweaks, fixes, and security patches

Various tweaks :

Full changes to be discovered directly in my Github source below

Features that will NEVER be included in this kernel :

★ PREREQUISITE ★ :

★ INSTALLATION PROCEDURE ★ :

Would work l-speed settings and improve batter/performance more? Also how much battery (SOT) would you say I would gain?

It depends all on yourself - what kind of apps you are using, how you use your phone and so on..

Porogami · Mar 22, 2019

But like a rough estimate. Like 1 hour. 30 mins or 1min

Like @xFirefly93 explained perfectly, everyone has different usage.
Personally with stock kernel I was getting a SOT like ~3h30, now with my kernel I gained 1 hour more.

I'm planning to release soon v1.1 which have very slightly better battery (that I currently experiment) :good:

Ok thanks. But one more thing. Would this work with LKT because it didn't work with proton kernel

"LKT" ?

hahahaxp · Mar 25, 2019

Nice work. Confirm that battery is much better than stock. No issue. Thanks man.

That is a magisk module that's like an analoge of BlackenedMod tweaks

Not aware of this module, anyway, if there is nothing to add from kernel side, then it should work properly. If not, then it's from rom/firmware/magisk side (which of course I cannot act).

Porogami · Mar 28, 2019

I've tested it and can confirm it works. Good work ?

If I flash this through ek manager, will Magiak be patched?

I recommend to flash my kernel using my first post instructions, nothing else (althought you can still give a try via EXKM) :good:
You will need to always flash Magisk right after flashing kernel to get root back.
