[KERNEL][3.10.108][LA.BR.1.2.9][MM]Destiny kernel

[dani020110]

Hello everyone, it's a pleasure for me to share this great kernel; this is focused on stability and battery life
My dream (since I bought this phone) has been to have a kernel that suits my needs, to have great features and a rock-solid stability
I put all my time and heart to get this awesome product.
Please read this thread carefully. I will try to do my best to help you if you do the same

I'm back at it again, wishing you a happy new year and with a shiny new kernel, with a LOT newer kernel base and with a LOT of unneeded crap removed, this project has taken me more than a year to polish and I'm still doing it, but I've reached a state where I think it can be tested by you. My second m4 has completely broken (because it fell down xD), so that's why I need you guys to test it and give me feedback.
I promise you that it this is a whole different experience, you won't have any random reboots or battery drains at all

Disclaimer:

I, nor xda are responsible if you use this and brick your device or if your device blows up, implodes, flames start shooting from it or it kills your neighbor's dog. Flash at your own risk.

Some notes:

THIS WILL WORK ONLY ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS
For now I won't be adding features because I need to finish other things

About features:

• Compiled with Linaro 4.9
• Improved cpu frequency scaling, before it used to ramp like crazy, and now if you aren't doing anything it will stay at the lowest freq, you can use this app to check
• I've also added a wifi module replacement procedure that will Always Work(TM), regardless if it has been screwed up by other custom kernels, so you won't need to worry about no wifi and/or moving the module manually
• Latest upstream Linux kernel version 3.10.108
• Optimizations from LineageOS (I've based my kernel on their kernel for the msm8916 family)
• This kernel is based on the latest tag of the CAF branch for the msm8916 family on nougat (LA.BR.1.2.9), which has got a lot of security and stability patches compared to our ancient stock kernel base
• Cubbins' kanuti_hwid driver for bands -> The stock kernel had a really crappy solution for the mobile bands of the world regions, so this awesome guy coded a driver for this!
• Pure mdss driver + pcc adjustments
• Pstore support
• Latest sdfat opensource filesystem, replacing the ancient and closed source tuxera module
• Usb HID keyboard/mouse support you can install this and you're good to go!
• Refactored bmm050 magnetometer driver
• bma2x2 accelerometer sensor driver from CAF -> The stock kernel had an extremely initial and ancient version of this driver, I've spent more than a month porting it to the improved and newer driver from CAF
• A LOT of cleanups everywhere, most likely you won't get to understand the big amount of removed crap so I'd suggest you to check my source repo

To control the kernel:

• Use Kernel Adiutor

Installation instructions:

Just go to recovery and flash the zip!
Enjoy :')

Hi @dani020110!
First and foremost, thanks for sharing your kernel!
After reading the mutha [email protected]#k'n thread, i did not yet find what features it does have.
You only state that we can't ask for unstable features.
Can you give us a spec list?
Thanks!

Oh and one more thing....no love for E2363?

If I recalled, he had some problems with Faux Sound Control (speaker suddenly became very very quiet) so he disabled it for now.

It is a unstable feature.

What about brightness control or just lowering the brightness a little bit?

kernel not working in sony m4 e2312

I used sony e2312 26.3B.1.33 stock android 6.0. I certainly did the right thing under the guidance and download the e2312. after flash your kernel, I restarted the sony logo But it has powered off and I've tried restarting but still did not fix the situation. I think that your kernel fails. wish you help me fix this soon
