if you see the bootloader unlocked screen during the restart, after the restart share the files in sys/fs/pstore and upload them here.
make sure to not run any magisk modules or other modifications, besides the ak helper zip that comes with the kernel.

no crashes for me the last 7 days without a single reboot. without logs I can´t do anything.

can you share another set of logs (contents of sys/fs/pstore) after one of those crashes?
I checked the problem and installed busybox NDK first and then 1.0.1_ R will lead to conflict and collapse. Error in KVM operation only.

If there is no busybox NDK, there will be no crash, only 1.0.1_ R is there no problem in inventory? I can only explore slowly.

Update to 1.0.5_R

Hey guys and girls,


So here´s the next update.
The kernel is now made for the firmware 18.0410.2108.158. Please make sure to update to this firmware before flashing the kernel to avoid potential issues. You can always flash the previous kernel, before I find time to update the kernel with the latest source, just don´t report issues if you decide to do so.

Link to full firmware zip: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...S_I003_1-ASUS-18.0410.2108.158-1.1.5-user.zip

Linux-Stable Upstream as well as CAF upstream is included. The latest prebuilt clang from google git was used to compile the kernel.
Overhead from PSI memory tracking driver was reduced.

Fix random lockups that can rarely happen when magisk is installed (the probability is increased with certain magisk modules and configurations)

More details in the changelog below and on GitHub as usual.

I´d advise everybody to read the instructions in the OP and follow them. They are written for a reason, because they ensure everything will be working as expected.
Kernel is made for the latest stock rom from Asus, you must update your phone to the most recent Asus update, before flashing the kernel.

Enjoy!


Changelog:
- Include Source for 18.0410.2108.158
- Include linux-stable upstream to 4.19.204 (stock android 11 kernel is at 4.19.110)
- include latest CAF-upstream for the A11 base
- use prebuilt clang 13.0.1 from google for compilation
- disable per cgroup tracking to reduce overhead by PSI driver
- fix device to randomly lock up shortly after booting (probability is likely increased with certain magisk modules)


I wish you all a nice day/evening!


Download is below :)

Download is in this folder:
Instructions how to flash the kernel can be found in the OP!
But look at this post too :)

To make use of the CleanSlate features you need to download both CleanSlate Apps:
Please take a look at the CleanSlate thread for CleanSlate features. On the CleanSlate thread you will find links to both apps, companion and configuration app, to control the CleanSlate features.
If you use the CleanSlate features and benefit over time, maybe think about giving something back to @tbalden and purchase them from PlayStore. :)


Have fun, enjoy the kernel and your phone.

This maybe not related to the post but I want to ask on how can I flash stock firmware (latest) without losing twrp and root?

I dont know its kernel related, but my GPS isnt working right. It refreshes location every 1 minute and Maps isnt usable. I need to clear Google Play Services storage and cache every day to have usable Maps. In previous firmware and kernel version was the same. Never had this problem on Android 10.

I believe I recall people talking about that exact issue on the Zenfone 7 forums on zentalk. So I guess it's an issue in asus firmware.

The only other advice I can give is to remove all apps, tweaks, mods and magisk modules. Especially ones that are anything like "fix drain from play services" or "solve background drain" etc.
If it persists maybe report the issue on zentalk.

Hello is this completely useless without root? I mean, can I install it while rooted then remove root? If I can use it without root what would not work? Thank you for your hard work!

Hello is the aeroactive cooler working with this kernel?

When I tried to use my aeroactive cooler it's showing "Please only use the ROG Phone 3's AeroActive Cooler." message

EDIT: I just reflashed the 1.0.5.zip then its working now.

    Kirisakura-Kernel for the Rog Phone 3

    Hello everyone,

    To keep it short: Here is Kirisakura - Kernel for the Rog Phone 3 aka OBIWAN.
    I would appreciate if everybody that flashes the kernel, reads at least once through this opening post and the following ones.

    Kirisakura - Kernel is designed to bring a handful of beneficial features to the device, while ensuring excellent performance and smoothness to get you safely through the day!

    This project aims to keep most of the subsystems updated, way ahead of the stock kernel, thereby improving security and performance, while keeping stability as the foucs during testing! This includes Linux-Stable, CAF-Upstream and kernel/common.
    Kernel Control Flow Integrity (Kernel-CFI), which is achieved by linking the kernel with LLD and Link Time Optimization (LTO), more precisely ThinLTO, are quite unique security features. In fact this, alongside Kirisakura-Kernel for the OnePlus 8 Pro, may be (and probably is) the first 4.19 msm kernel with a fully working Kernel-CFI implementation and CFI-Violations fixed on a smartphone.
    The only kernels made by OEMs offering this security feature are the ones for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 4 devices.
    The recently released Kirisakura-Kernel for the OnePlus 8 Pro was featured on the XDA-Portal due to the inclusion of CFI. The featured article explains CFI in great details, is easy to understand and definitely worth to read.

    Another security feature is Shadow Call Stack (SCS). Similar to CFI, only the Pixle 3 and 4 Kernel use this security feature.
    SCS is another security patchset that is aimed at preventing attacks via return oriented programming (ROP).
    ROP is a technique where the attacker gains control of the kernel stack to overwrite function return addresses and redirect execution to carefully selected parts of existing kernel code.
    If you´re interested here are a few good links:
    Google Security Blog explaining SCS.
    LLVM doc about SCS
    Android DOCs documenting SCS

    If reading about upstream in the paragraph above got you curious,have a read about Linux-Stable and why it is important here. The stable-process is not the same for every subsystem, but the general idea, rule of thumb and benefits are applicable for other subsystems as well.

    Quick explanation of CAF-Upstream. CAF is short for Codeaurora-Forums. This is the place where development from Qualcomm for their SoCs happens. This includes the Snapdragon 865/+ that´s built into the different SKUs of the Rog Phone 3.
    The kernel-bases available on the Codeaurora-Forums, are basically the foundations OEMs use, to build their own kernel additions on top for devices featuring Qualcomm SoCs.
    The Qualcomm developers push regular updates to the bases of the different SoCs, a bit similar to how Linux-Upstream works. OEMs usually stop updating the initial base after the phone is released.
    This kernel focuses amongst the other features to provide the latest CAF-Updates merged in a regular manner, to provide updates, improvements and enhancements for SoC specific drivers and subsystems! This might take a while, because a lot of device specific testing is done on my end to ensure stability.

    The kernel includes a lot of improvements and contributions from other developers as well. Without this kernel would not exist.
    I´d like to mention @tbalden ´s excellent CleanSlate features at this place. They improve usability by a big margin for me personally. The highly customizable sweep to sleep implementation (adjustable to different navigation settings), long tap to bring down status bar (very useful on a big device), backlight dimmer and notification reminder are very useful features that I use personally every day.
    Another big part of improvements originate from @arter97´s, @kdrag0n´s and @Sultanxda´s work. Many others contributed in some way or another to this kernel.
    A big thanks to all of them at this place!

    Now lets continue with a list of features in the next paragraph!

    Update to 1.0.0_R

    Hey guys and girls,


    I hope everybody had a great week so far. Here it finally is, the update for Android 11.
    The kernel includes all previous features from Android 10.
    Due to the upstream CAF-bases being completely different and incompatible between Android 10 and Android 11 and this kernel being as far from stock kernel as it can get, the kernel needed to be rebased from scratch.
    This was a long and tedious process.

    The kernel is now made for the firmware 18.0410.2106.138. Please make sure to update to this firmware before flashing the kernel to avoid potential issues. You can always flash the previous kernel, before I find time to update the kernel with the latest source, just don´t report issues if you decide to do so.

    Link to full firmware zip: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...S_I003_1-ASUS-18.0410.2106.138-1.1.5-user.zip


    More details in the changelog below and on GitHub as usual.

    I´d advise everybody to read the instructions in the OP and follow them. They are written for a reason, because they ensure everything will be working as expected.
    Kernel is made for the latest stock rom from Asus, you must update your phone to the most recent Asus update, before flashing the kernel.

    Enjoy!

    Requirements

    - unlocked Bootloader
    - USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
    - latest adb and fastboot binaries
    - working adb and fastboot environment
    - latest magisk stable root environment
    - a backup of boot.img and dtbo.img to be able to restore to stock.


    How to flash the Kernel:

    1. Download the latest kernel.zip and make sure you have properly updated to the latest matching Asus Stock-Firmware. When the Rog 3 receives an update it takes Asus a while to release the source code for the new OS and me a while to build a new kernel. If you don´t want to face any issues, wait until I either release an updated kernel or give green light because there were no kernel changes.
    Always make sure to run the firmware the kernel is built for!

    1a. Optional: While it may not be necessary all times, you may want to restore stock boot.img as well as dtbo.img, re-root with magisk and optionally install twrp.zip if coming from another kernel. Before reporting issues make sure you do that! Thank you!

    2. Make sure to meet all the requirements listed above.

    3. Flash the kernel.zip via latest EXKM or FKM app, or TWRP and do a full reboot.

    4. Reboot and profit. Set CleanSlate features as you desire by installing both apps and choose according to your liking.


    DOWNLOAD:

    Update to 1.8.2

    Hey guys and girls,


    New Update. It includes the source for the new firmware 17.0823.2012.122.
    Make sure to update to this firmware, before flashing the kernel. The zip won´t flash by default on older firmware.

    On 1.8.2 Linux-Stable Upstream is merged, as well as CAF-Upstream.
    Memory improvements, small update to the scheduler, vdso32, and some others are mentioned in the changelog as usual. Some with links for those that like to read it.

    Disclaimer/Important:
    Since Release 1.5.0 Selinux-Mainline patches are backported now that Magisk 21.0 and greater support it. This gives selinux a performance boost.
    You need to have upgraded to magisk 21.0 before flashing the kernel!
    The download can be found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v21.0/Magisk-v21.0.zip
    Alternatively download latest magisk manager from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v8.0.2/MagiskManager-v8.0.2.apk
    Go to Settings and set Magisk Channel to Beta to get Magisk 21.0!
    If you´re on of those that can´t boot 21.0 or greater with the stock kernel, update to 21.0 or higher and flash Kirisakura Kernel without a reboot. Your device should boot up fine.



    More details in the changelog below and on GitHub as usual.

    I´d advise everybody to read the instructions in the OP and follow them. They are written for a reason, because they ensure everything will be working as expected.
    Kernel is made for the latest stock rom from Asus, you must update your phone to the most recent Asus update, before flashing the kernel.

    Enjoy!

    But look at this post too :)

    To make use of the CleanSlate features you need to download both CleanSlate Apps:
    Please take a look at the CleanSlate thread for CleanSlate features. On the CleanSlate thread you will find links to both apps, companion and configuration app, to control the CleanSlate features.
    If you use the CleanSlate features and benefit over time, maybe think about giving something back to @tbalden and purchase them from PlayStore. :)


    Have fun, enjoy the kernel and your phone.

    Update to 1.9.4

    Hey guys and girls,


    New Update. It includes the source for the new firmware 17.0823.2012.131.
    Make sure to update to this firmware, before flashing the kernel so no conflicts arise.

    1.9.4 includes latest Linux-Stable Upstream as well as CAF-Upstream.

    I also created a magisk module to hide the hardwarestub service warning for those with converted devices on my kernel. No paid app is required for it. Flash it via Magisk Manager and the notification will be hidden.
    Please note that refresh rate can´t be changed when the module is flashed. To able to change refresh rate or to remove the module, simple remove it in Magisk Manager and do a full reboot. I´ll attach it to the third post on this thread. There will be no support for this module from my side and no other support for converted devices.

    Disclaimer/Important:
    Since Release 1.5.0 Selinux-Mainline patches are backported now that Magisk 21.0 and greater support it. This gives selinux a performance boost.
    You need to have upgraded to magisk 21.0 before flashing the kernel!
    If you´re on of those that could not boot 21.0 or greater with the stock kernel, this issue is solved on magisk 21400 and above.
