Thank you guys for awesome work! General feedback: it would be great if you won't add to many features. I think it's better to have rock solid, stable kernel, as stock as possible than have unstable juggernaut. But it's only my opinion. It's too obvious to say that you do as you want to do :) Great job! Keep going! Regards

PS. Cool cucumber as one of next releases ;)

Brother can this kernel fix the cpu frequency stick to 2016 mah bug? Coz when ever i use any kernel tool cpu frequency sticks to 2016mah to fix i have to reboot.
there is NO BUG on 2016mhz......
the REAL bug is on 1689mhz, where on kernel adiutor we see the VDD value from 0 to 1

i use the Vis77 method to fix the problem. read the "cure" on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/fixed-custom-kernel-solves-1689mhz-bug-t3667829
i use a software that every 1h sets the VDD value to 0.....

Improved interactive - in which way is it improved? towards performances or battery life?
Added Lionfish governor - do you think it's better tyo use it instead of interactive?...if you "modded" the interactive that is the purpose to also add lionfish?
CFQ improvements - same as interactive, more battery life or performances? i've heard that the best i/o schedulers are NOOP and FIOPS for best battery life with still good performances...... what do you think about it?

Fun to see a custom kernel. The fingerprint gesture has however become to sensitive with it while on detoxed alstock rom. Possible to scale it back a bit?

Impressive work updating the kernel version, Qualcomm don't make that easy. This and the 8.0 ROM gives me hope for the future of customs ROMs for this device.

Support for stock rom OTA updates?

I am currently running on stock rom build version P2a42_S244_170725_ROW. If i flash this kernel via my stock recovery will it work? If yes, after flashing it, will my device get future OTA updates given by Lenovo?

Anyways subham thanks for your amazing work. Following you on our other projects as well. :good:

What is the meaning of kuntao?
Kuntao is the Buildname\Device codename for Lenovo P2. Whereas P2a42 is Lenovo P2's model number.

Examples: Tomato for Yu Yureka, Cheeseburger for oneplus 5 etc.
