Development EOL - [KERNEL] [OOS] Omega Kernel OOS11 [September 18, 2021]

Do I have to first install stock kernel from backup before updating OOS? Sorry for this kind of "beginner" questions but I don't want to brick my phone

I never restore stock kernel before updating oos. OOS update overwrites kernel, so you're stock anyway after updating.

Got it. Thank you a lot both

uninstalling Magisk will restore stock kernel. OOS will not update if a custom kernel is installed.

These are the steps I use when updating OOS to latest version to keep Magisk installed.

1. Downloaded the update from Oxygen Updater (DONT REBOOT)
2. Go to Settings\System\System Update and click on the wheel on upper right corner.
3. Select Local Upgrade, then install the update (DONT REBOOT)
4. Remove Magisk modules that may cause problems if you have modules (Call Recording is one of them)
5. In Magisk, install Magisk again. Choose the "Install to inactive slot (OTA)" option
6. Reboot once completed
7. Flash Omega Kernal with ex kernel manager - reboot when asked.

Phone is now updated with latest OOS and Omega Kernel *HAPPY DAYS*

Not true. I never uninstall magisk and I install OOS updates over omega kernel.

Not using Google ota you don't. All partitions have to be stock or update fails. Sorry I know that's an untrue statement as I reflash stock boot and vendor _boot to be able to take next ota.

Yes when updating using a FULL OTA. When was the last time a FULL OTA was on time and not a month or two late. You can not take an incremental update on Omega or any custom kernel. It will fail.

Egg ns emulator doesn't work with this kernel, gets stuck and crashes. Flashing arter97's kernel fixed it.

The latest 11.2.9.9 was available pretty quick for the global and EU versions.

The full OTA is available simultaneously with the incremental upgrade. The updater app checks to see if the partitions were modified. If they were, it downloads the full OTA. If not, it downloads only the increment.

The full OTA is available simultaneously with the incremental upgrade.

Not for NA model/Global, only incr is posted most of the time. I switched to EU for exactly this reason, to get full updates without waiting 1-2 months.

Has this been abandoned? Looking forward to a new release

Was gonna ask the same thing. If its abandoned or hiatus already.

 

[infamousvincci]

Seems like op9 series is slowly being abandoned. That's the way i, it looks to me. But, might be just XDA is being abandoned

Sad. The pixel 6 looks so promising too. Maybe thats why.

at first when I read your post I was thinking no way it's been abandoned, but then I looked at github and there has been no new commits since 9/17 (the last update he released) so I'm not sure now. perhaps he's just busy with other things? either way I hope it's not.

Willing to bet if @kristofpetho was stopping, he would have said so. Sometimes, there isn't anything to update.
I imagine until source is out for a12, there probably won't be any big changes needed. Only my guess, though. . Thank you for what you do @kristofpetho !!

Kernel sources for OOS 11.2.9.9 has not been released by OnePlus. That's probably why there were no updates for Omega since weeks.

 

[mattie_49]

Everything is stalled waiting on release of A12. Device far from dead folks.

I think that sentiment is a bit extreme, man. I also used to test Omega, and never took it to heart when things, as they do eventually, slowed down and eventually stopped for the 6t.

KTP is stability focused and doesn't tend to push release after release just for the sake of doing it. Omega is always a good stable kernel for that exact reason.

A guy that has a full time day job, who happens to understand more than most peeps about kernels, makes his own, then shares it with the community, gratis with no expectations is not on the hook to dash titty sprinkles on the kernel and re-release it constantly. If he was asking for $$ (which he does not) or something in return (which he does not) it would be different.

Of course, you can choose to not use Omega as well, if you feel there's something better or are super committed to the Cartman mantra of [screw you guys, I'm going home], that, much like installing Omega in the first place, is your choice.

Let's not act like the dev owes anyone anything, bc he doesn't owe us anything whatsoever. We are the privileged in the equation.

There has been no source update for the device since 11.2.8.8...
I'm waiting for updated sources, and dont want to break anything in the meantime.

I will gladly take your place as a tester of the kernel..
