Development [Kernel][06.03.2024][Android 14.0.0]Kirisakura 2.2.0_Raviantah for Pixel 6/Pro aka "RAVIOLE"

[Freak07]

Update to 1.3.0

Hey guys and girls,

Alright here´s the next update and it´s a really big one.
Some of you used to run Kirisakura on the Pixel 4 XL and just like on that device today we were joined by @tbalden and his excellent features available in his CleanSlate kernel. Thanks a lot to him for his dedication and time he put into the features again. Finally sweep to sleep made its glorious return.
This release has the CleanSlate features working for Pixel 6 Pro users. Unfortunately they don´t work on the Pixel 6 at the moment.
Please follow the instructions in the CleanSlate thread to get the CleanSlate apps working correctly.

As previous kernels of mine, this kernel has now been upstreamed to latest linux-stable 5.10.79 (at least latest at the time of testing)
kernel/common 5.10 for android 12 has been completely merged as well, which includes a lot of updates and optimizations as previously mentioned. The previous release only had some excerpts from that. kernel/common 5.10 for android 12 is currently at 5.10.66, I except this drops to stock in the next few months.

Several other improvements are included as well. More details in the changelog.

Please flash all three provided images according to the instructions. If you don´t flash vendor_dlkm CleanSlate features will not work and you´ll lose some of the other optimizations. dtbo.img should be stock for now, but eventually there will be changes. It´s best to adjust to the instructions now to provide confusion later.
I hope I can work out non-userdebug vendor_boot.img later, so we can just flash all four images and be fine all the time.

Spoiler

I´ll keep that here just in case.
I discovered that my compiled vendor_boot.img is a userdebug build. That´s the reason developer settings crashed on 1.0.0, due to a selinux-denial that happens because of userdebug.
Since we don´t modify anything yet that ends up in vendor_boot.img please flash back the original one from the factory image you´re device is running on in case you´re still running it.
Boot to bootloader and execute the following command:

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

Then proceed to flash the other images as described in the guide in the OP!

Changelog:
- linux-stable 5.10.79
- kernel/common merged
- CleanSlate features added
- update several drivers to use power efficient workingqueues (for example wlan driver)
- kernfs: use buffer from the stack space
- printk: use buffer from the stack space
- kthread: use buffer from the stack space
- bpf: avoid dynamic memory allocation for small value buffers
- binder: Reserve caches for small, high-frequency memory allocations
- kernfs: use kmem_cache pool for struct kernfs_open_node/file
- cgroup: use kmem_cache pool for struct cgrp_cset_link
- f2fs: reduce timeout for uncongestion
- f2fs: Demote GC thread to idle scheduler class
- f2fs: set ioprio of GC kthread to idle
- mm: vmstat: use power efficient workingqueues


- optional powerhint magisk module to possibly save a little bit of battery on screen off scenarios like music playback.

Instructions can be found in the OP! Please follow the instructions to avoid any issues.
Don´t forgot to restore the stock vendor_boot.img found in the factory image of the firmware you´re currently running if you flashed 1.0.0 vendor_boot.img in the past!

probably a bit late, but here it is.

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

Right on time. Thank you!

Should vendor_dlkm.img & boot.img be hosted on the AFH link? If so, they seem to be missing

I was just about to ask the same thing. Wasn't sure if maybe we were supposed to use the old files for those two, but I doubt it.

I figured maybe they didn't get imported from the FTP or something like that. Thank you!

Excellent work I'm from my 4 xl pixel

Boot from fastbootd to fastboot/bootloader to flash dtbo.img, vendor_boot.img and boot.img:
Either select Reboot to bootloader option via buttons
or type:

fastboot reboot bootloader

Now in fastboot flash boot.img and dtbo.img
Commands:

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

4. Reboot either via buttons
or by typing

fastboot reboot

5. Profit!

Hi mate, I'm assuming where it says in the instructions to flash vendor_boot.img that it is not required as the subsequent instructions just say to flash dtbo.img and boot.img?

(BTW, many thanks for the new kernel, love your work )

 

[Nekromantik]

what idle drain people getting on here?

 

[Exel]

Followed the instructions to a T from OP and everything flashed perfectly.

Coming back from using an iPhone for a long time, so excited to be tweaking stuff again.

Thank you @Freak07!

Side note, if we don't care about the CleanSlate tweaks just better stability, faster updates and battery life, just don't install the app and all of those features should be disabled by default?

Thanks for the kind words.

Correct. Thanks for spotting it, already corrected!

what idle drain people getting on here?

I'm losing about 2-3% over 7-8 hours overnight. Basically similar to stock.
Signal strength, network quality, wifi, installed apps, background apps/processes have way bigger impact on that as kernel changes.

Great to hear it worked out well for you.
Yes, if you don't care about the CleanSlate features don't install the apps and they will be disabled.

do you only need the cleanslate app if you want the gesture controls?
will you add wakelock blocking?

 

[TotallyAnxious]

You need clean slate app(s) for clean slate features.

Which does not effect stability. Maybe minimal increase in battery usage.

You don't get kernel updates quicker or a more smooth experience if you don't use, as someone else above implied.

That's not what I implied, I implied I use this kernel for a smoother experience and faster upstream updates rather than waiting on Google's monthly patches, not for gimmicky features (not that some people don't use them, they're just not for me.)

I didn't say that if you don't use CleanSlate features it would be smoother or be updated faster.

This is off topic. Using clean slate features wouldn't effect updates of anything.

Wrong to say otherwise in anyway.

You said "Side note, if we don't care about the CleanSlate tweaks just better stability, faster updates and battery life, just don't install the app and all of those features should be disabled by default?"

I never said it did, but agree to disagree -- it's easy to misinterpret posts, let's stay on topic here.

Day 1 of using this kernel and so far so good.

So, I attempted to flash version 1.3 on my Pixel 6 and keep getting bootloop in to bootloader.

Downloaded all 1.3 images from afh.

Grabbed Vendor boot from latest OTA on google's servers.

Started with
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

then followed the rest of the instructions from the OP but no go. Tried wiping to confirm not issue with data and no go.

Any suggestions?

 

[Freak07]

do you only need the cleanslate app if you want the gesture controls?

you need the cleanslate apps, if you want to control the cleanslate features.

wakelock blocking maybe, which wakelock(s) do you want to block?
The latest release has two wlan wakelocks already removed from the wifi driver, that I could attribute to a lot of wakeups.

CleanSlate config app does nothing, except modify a file that has the configuration. It doesn´t affect battery life in any way.
CleanSlate companion app takes less cpu share than enabling any of the battery monitors in EXKM or FKM. So it´s next to nothing.

Kernel support kcal?

no, not at this moment.
KCAL is implemented on drivers that are used on qualcomm based phones.

check the next posts too, another user found a few apps that made him happy and I mentioned CF-Lumen.

Were you rooted before attempting to flash this kernel? Did you already issue the vbmeta disable verity/verification command via fastboot?

your fastboot environment could be outdated.

always patch the boot.img via magisk on the device you´re flashing it on.
