Questions

Q: Will this work on newer bootloaders?
A: It should. The kernel is based on the most recent of LG sources.

Q: What control app do you suggest using?
A: I suggest using SmartPack, or EX Kernel Manager.

Q: Where can I donate? I want to donate!!
A: I don't accept donations because of two reasons. One: I don't really need it. Two: I like the idea of this being totally free, it adds to the enjoyability of the kernel.

Q: I'm having some problems with kernel not working or booting?
A: If you have downgraded your bootloader (i.e by flashing Asgard kernel first) then that is likely why. My kernel works on new firmware, not exactly sure how far back the compatibility goes.

Q: I flashed this zip in recovery, but it didn't seem to work, I'm still on my old kernel. What can I do?
A: With AnyKernel you shouldn't need to re-flash ROOT after flashing kernel (if already installed, if not, do it before flashing kernel). SuperSu has been known to revert the kernel install if you do so.

Q: OK so I just rooted my phone and installed this, and OMGOSH! so excited, now what do I do - do I tweake-dy freak out huh huh? How do I do it??
A: Put simply, don't do anything. I don't know how things where in the past, but now you don't need to do anything. Not with this kernel anyhow. Such thing are better discussed in a separate thread anyway.

Thanks for your work. Tested your kernel with H850 and Fulmics 4.5. Works well but bluetooth isn't working, it's not possible to activate.
Returned with backup to stock.

Best regards

Works well but bluetooth isn't working, it's not possible to activate.

Thank you for your report. How silly of me, I forgot to test bluetooth since I never use that.
I'll see about uploading a fixed version soon.

 

[askermk2000]

Version 0.8 is up.

 

[mkpcxxl]

Version 0.8 is up.

Flashed and now bluetooth is working.
Thanks again for your work.

I am sorry, but where can I find the source code for this kernel? If it is one of github links, which of them is the one?

I'm sorry too, but when I started this project, I did it in the only way I know (and what seemed simplest to me) and that is to do stuff manually. I don't have experience with github or any elaborate development tools, heck I hardly know how to do this stuff, but I'm learning more and more.

I can upload the latest source in zip if that is satisfactory.
Sorry if this breaks xda rules, but I'm sure I've seen other projects not having their full, direct sources posted.

Well, as far as I know GPL requires sources to be published. But it's not that I brag about complying to licenses. I am genuinely interested in changes made. I enjoy reading @eoghan2t7 commits on his kernel tree every few days. As for me, I am not really interested in a single zip Version control systems are awesome and it would be great if your kernel tree could use it.

Yes, as I got further into this project I figured it would be better to open a qithub account next time.
So I'll probably do that with the next major source drop from LG.

Flashed in fulmics 4.5, running fine so far. I will report battery life, thanks for your job!

battery life is not quite as good

 

[askermk2000]

battery life is not quite as good

I think you might be right.
May be a problem or conflict with cpu hotplug. I will look into it.

 

[Nick cutter]

that sounds good but otherwise a great kernel keep it up :good:

 

[Hadi99]

Tha.ks for this great kernel. Only two flaws so far: Battery and overheating.

 

[walter79]

Can you upload your fully kernel source ?

Hm, don't have this problems, Battery is like stock and temps are normal.
I remember I've had overheating with Asgard kernel.

Temps are alot more stable right now, but battery life is still horrible for me.
Asgard did indeed have overheating in versions 5.x, but since then it had been fixed

Version 1.0

Super excited about this one

Compiled with gnu11, graphite, O3 and other optimizations. Most of them was borrowed from @jahlex D.O.T.S Kernel (Thanks!) - but gnu11 was my idea. I really don't know if is good to do or not, but hey...
It's been tested "adequately" I'd say. But that probably means inadequate in most tongues, however, I like to take few risks and gamble every now and then

Performance seems very much increased, battery as well.
Added Maple i/o
Alucard and Zzmoove (bLE) governors
Fixed small omissions here and there

Maple is default IO (was initially going for FIOPS), since that hooks into "display_state" making it aware of screen on/off.
Zzmoove is default cpu governor. Alucard could not be set as default at build time - kernel would not boot
I've added a zip to fix lg bootup script in /system/etc - it, amongs other things, sets *interactive* governor as default
Hotplugging characteristics can be customized.

May it serve you all well!
