有新的更新嗎? 78 降低手機上,內核不會讓我上的頻率。
謝謝
I am currently using 30.41.69.78 firmware, it is no problem to change this kernel... You try to re-flash magisk. Check the kernel and try it. Prohibit unnecessary application startup

Just updated to the latest 277 ROM. The A12 kernel still works fine. Found one bug that is pretty serious, my camera crashes on snapping a picture with the stock camera app. Video works fine. Taking a picture from within Whatsapp/Telegram works fine.

Reflashing the stock kernel fixes the issue. Any idea what could be causing this @Freak07?

Do you use the kernel from the release post uploaded to afh? Or the one I uploaded earlier?

The one on AFH shouldn't show this issue, just updated myself and everything is well.
No problem to snap a picture with stock camera on 277 firmware.

Hi, thank you for your time and effort with this kernel. I was able to flash 1.0.0_S thru TWRP, and the kernel is recognized as Krisakura. However, I am noticing that the TCP Congestion Algorithms only show Reno and Cubic.

In case it helps to know, I am on Android 12 with stock firmware WW-31.0210.0210.287 as of 8/4/2022, rooted with TWRP but otherwise no major changes.

Is it possible I flashed incorrectly?

EDIT: I reread the initial post and saw that Krisakura is fully compatible only up to an earlier firmware version. I'll continue to use Krisakura even with the latest 8/31 firmware update and report back if I encounter any issues. So far it seems to be working fine.

One minor issue - for context I'm on the latest stock firmware (31.0210.0210.309) with Magisk 25.2 installed and phone rooted. I flashed with both FKM and EXKM, rebooted each time and both of those kernel management tools recognize the kernel as Krisakura 1.0.1. However, although the original post indicates that BBR is an available TCP congestion algorithm, I am only able to see Reno and Cubic. Is there any way to determine if I flashed the kernel incorrectly somehow?

    Kirisakura-Kernel for the Asus Zenfone 7/Pro

    Hello everyone,

    To keep it short: Here is Kirisakura - Kernel for the Asus Zenfone 7/Pro aka Tequila. The Zenfone line- up internal codenames are derived from alcoholic drinks, last year the Zenfone 6 bore the title Kirin.
    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!
    If you expect a custom kernel to magically improve your devices battery life manifold and this is your only priority then this might not be the right place for you. Instead there is an option called battery saver in the options of your phone.
    However the kernel is built to keep battery life close to the same as you would experience the on stock kernel while being tuned to perform better in various UI related benchmarks. The same benches are used by google to verify and ensure UI smoothness on the Pixel devices. The scheduler is tuned to yield lower jitter and reduce jank frames.
    If that got your curious, I welcome you to continue reading if you´re still interested!


    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.
    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.
    If possible the latest Kirisakura-Kernel releases for various devices aim to include CFI in enforcing mode so users can benefit from this security features.

    Another security feature is Shadow Call Stack (SCS).
    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 Zenfone 7/Pro.
    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.
    A 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!

    Misc Features:

    TCP Congestion Algorithms:
    - advanced algorithms enabled, enable them with your favorite kernel manager
    - use bbr as default TCP congestion algorithm (fasted algo according to this excellent research from @kdrag0n found here )
    - includes new bbr2

    Wakelock Blocker:
    - advanced wakelock blocker with the ability to block any wakelocks (dangerous, use with caution)
    - please read [URL="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/08/p-is-for-power-how-google-tests-tracks-and-improves-android-battery-life/"]this for further info
    - blocking a kernel wakelock should only be done in case of firmware incompatabilities (WiFi network at work (can´t be changed) causes deep sleep to not work on the phone.) That´s the only use case I see for this feature. The kernel does not features this to improve battery life!

    Other features:
    - disable logging and debugging to make the kernel more lightweight in various places (includes binder, mm, vma, gpu, ipa etc)
    - fix several coding issues detected by newer Clang-Toolchains
    - implement ramoops functionality to be able to easily debug kernel panics

    Feature section for the "non visible" but perceptible improvements:
    - updated binder section (responsible for interprocess communication)


    Flashing Guide, Download and Changelog

    Requirements:
    - unlocked Bootloader
    - USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
    - latest adb and fastboot binaries
    - working adb and fastboot environment
    - magisk root (magisk 22.0 or higher), usually magisk stable works best
    - a backup of stock boot.img and dtbo.img so you can go back to stock conditions (simplest way is TWRP)

    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 Zenfone 7/Pro 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!
    If you feel adventurous, make sure you have a backup ready!

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

    3. Reboot and profit.


    DOWNLOAD:
    Download is located always in this folder:

    Important: Read after Download
    Please take a look at the second post after flashing the kernel!

    Feature Documentation:
    Here´s a brief documentation about some of the features included in the kernel that can be changed as the user desires.
    They can be accessed via either terminal, scripts or for example EXKM manager ( tools -> user settings).



    CPU-Frequency Limiting
    Another option is CPU-Freq Limiting. You can now limit the CPU frequency to a few different levels with a sysfs interface. Original implementation is from @tbalden, I only changed it to be accessible via traditional root methods.
    Main Switch:
    sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver
    Set this option to "1" to enable the feature

    Max-Frequency Selection (Input boosts, such as scrolling boost or app launching boosts will still apply, if touch boost restriction is not set to 1)
    sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver_level
    Set this to "1" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,7GHZ/2,1GHZ/2,49GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)
    Set this to "2" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,6GHZ/1,7GHZ/2,0GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)
    Set this to "3" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,49GHZ/1,4GHZ/1,6GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)

    Touch-Boost Restriction
    sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver_touch limiting
    Set this to "1" to restrict the powerhal from boosting over the limit defined in batterysaver_level
    Set this to "0" to allow the powerhal to boost above the values defined in batterysaver_level, but only during interaction with the Phone!

    This is for example very useful during gaming to prevent additional heat, if not the highest performance from the CPU is required. Check if the game is running fine on level 1 or 2, and you´ll notice much less heat. Powerdraw will be reduced as well.
    Another very useful trick while doing video calls or long extended navigation sessions with google maps to preserve battery or keep the phone from heating. Especially during summer if the ambient temperatures are high.
    This is a very easy way to preserve battery or reduce heat without toggling the battery save mode in settings as that restricts background data usage, which can lead to delayed notifications.
