This project is now "End-of-Life" (EOL). Thanks to all of you for the kind support...
Proudly presenting, Boeffla-Kernel (unofficial) for Lineage OS-15.1/16.
/* Introduction */
This is an unofficial port of the well-known Boeffla-Kernel which is developed by the recognized developer @Lord Boeffla. Since the original developer decided to end his support with Nougat, I decided to port his awesome work to Oreo. With the permission of the original developer, here I'm sharing my builds for anyone interested.
/* Warning */
This kernel is no way supported by Lord Boeffla. Please do not bother him with anything related to this Kernel.
/* DISCLAIMER! */
/* Supported devices */
/* Compatibility */
This kernel is only meant to work on Lineage-OS 15.1/16 and nothing else. However, it may work on other LOS 15.1/16 based Oreo/Pie ROMs (Please try at your own risk).
This kernel will NOT work in Samsung Stock and other TW ROMs.
/* How-to-Install */
i. Download Kernel
ii. Go to recovery (TWRP recommend)
iii. Flash Kernel
iv. Reboot and enjoy
/* Features */
Built from Boeffla-Kernel 14.1 source code.
Merged with latest LineageOS 15.1 source code.
Built using Bleeding edge toolchain (GCC 8.2).
Added blu_active CPU governer.
All the standard features of Lineage-OS 14.1 Boeffla-Kernel

/* Special note to ROM developers */
You are allowed to include my kernel in any ROMs. Giving proper credits to the original developers (including me, if you considered me as one among them) are, however, highly appreciated. Feel free to contact me, if you need any assistance from my side.
/* Donations */
For those who wish to donate to the original developer (Lord Boeffla), here I'm copying his own words.
If you like to appreciate my (sunilpaulmathew) work, please consider a donation as it is helpful to continue my projects more active, although it is not at all necessary.

Code:
I am not responsible for any damage to your device. Everything you are doing on your device is at your own risk.
I only own kltelgt (Korean variant). Hence, kernels under the category 'kltekor' are only tested by myself.
Please note that flashing any custom Kernel including mine will void your warranty.
/* Supported devices */
klte: SM-G900F, SM-G900V, SM-S902L
kltekor: SM-G900K/L/S
kltedv: SM-G900P/I

All the standard features of Lineage-OS 14.1 Boeffla-Kernel
Support of anykernel concept - flash stock kernel before flashing Boeffla
Additional governors: zzmoove (Note: not considered stable at the moment, you might face reboots!!!), intelliactive, intellidemand, wheatley, smartmax, slim, intellimm, nightmare, lionheart, pegasusq Zzmoove supporting native hotplugging profiles
Additional schedulers: fiops, bfq, sio, tripndroid, zen
Many Hotplug tweak profiles (Default, Optimized, 1 core max, 2 cores max, 3 cores max, 2 cores min, 3 cores min, 4 cores min, 2 cores exact, 3 cores exact)
Wake up gestures implemented (double-tap-to-wake, swipe to wake) Removed from beta-v4 onwards.
Boeffla-Sound engine (Headphones and speaker volume configurable)
Configurable vnswap
True dynamic FSync (activated if screen on, deactived if screen off), configurable
Touch boost frequency configurable, touch boost switch
CPU Overclocking up to 2.84 GHz
CPU Voltages interface for undervolting/overvolting
GPU idle frequency 27 Mhz added
GPU governor selection support
Show GPU frequency usage per frequency in Boeffla-Config
Color control to adjust RGB color space + inverted mode
SD card read ahead buffer configurable (default increased to 1024 kB)
Ext4 File system tweaks (default to on, can be disabled)
System Tweaks predefined supported (default is off)
Android logger (logcat) configurable
Kernel logger (dmesg) configurable
Charge rates for AC charger, USB and wireless charging separately configurable (set charge rate to 0 to have stock charge logic back)
Charge information display support via Boeffla-Config V2 app
CIFS support
NFS support (module) Removed from beta-v9 onwards.
NTFS support
XBox support
OTG-Ethernet support
TCP Congestion changed to Westwood
Swap supported (but not recommended, use zRam instead)
init.d support (in /system/etc/init.d - set correct permissions!)
Default entropies increased
Insecure kernel (adb has root privileges)
Automatic EFS backup
Kernel survival mode by Boeffla-Config app to survive CM rom flashes
Full support for mpdecision for best compatibility and smoothness
(Important: use Boeffla-Config to configure min/max CPU frequencies + governors + schedulers only - or explicitely allow other apps/processes to overwrite this in Boeffla-Config settings, but expect weird side effects)
Integrated full busybox 1.23.1 (own compilation)
Auto-Root by kernel possible by request, not recommended for CM however (latest su included)
Kernel initialization log file (with the history of 3 log files)
Emergency reset script automatically placed into /boeffla-kernel-data folder of your internal memory
Presets supported in Boeffla-Config by kernel (Extreme power, power, normal, battery friendly and battery saving)
Always using latest Initramfs
Always based on latest Galaxy S5 sm-g900f kernel sources by CM
Kernel runs with SELinux enforcing by default, just as CM12 stock kernel for S5 - but can be configured to work in permissive mode in Boeffla-Config settings
