As far as I'm aware no.
Some phones with sdcard slots use a proprietary driver from tuxera for exfat. On those devices a open source exfat driver can be used to get exfat formatted cards going again.
Last time I tried to add the driver on pixels, i concluded the system just lacks support for exfat sdcards.
So the post suggesting you an external app might be your best option.
You're welcome.
Maybe something was running in the background, I'd give it a bit more time.
Also keep out an eye for future updates as there might be more improvements to the scheduler. But I'm always hesitant to translate changes like this to "real world" improvements. Just because a microbenchmark performs better in the range of fractions of a second or even milliseconds/microseconds.
For myself I concluded over the years, feelings can be deceiving.
The FAQ found in the second post contains instructions to restore stock kernel/conditions after flashing the kernel here.
The features of this kernel are pretty much detailed in the first post. The OP is more detailed and provides more links for further research than pretty much any other kernel pm XDA i know of. If you want more details check out GitHub, use Google if something is unclear or ask here after doing some research.
The features of despair kernel are no subject of this thread, but you can take a look at GitHub as it's advised on the despair thread.
