[Kernel] [CAF-Rebased] Horizon Kernel [Android R] [OOS/Custom]

[ps000000]

I use these commands in bootloader.

fastboot flash boot_a op8p_R8.1.img
fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo_R8.1.img
fastboot flash boot_b op8p_R8.1.img
fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo_R8.1.img
fastboot reboot

The most simple way to flash this kernel after you root your phone then use ex kernel manager or franco kernel manager to flash it. At least, mine is working well by this kind of method.

How do we flash this kernel?

My device IN2010, OOS 11.0.2.2.IN21AA and magisk_patched_global_22 kernel.

>> fastboot flash boot boot.img <<---- Horizon Kernel

And bootloop fastboot mode.

There is no going back. I had to install fastboot stock rom from scratch. Good thing i got a backup.

and its not fastboot boot img you need to _a and_b for both fastboot flash boot_a

Works in Android 11 full stable (uploaded in Franco Menager).However, I believe that the GPU clock speed could be higher than 670 MHz. Relax, these 750 MHz would be fully stable. And even 800 MHz. Maybe the author will consider adding Adreno 650 clocks higher than 670 MHz to the current state of the kernel?

e.g. 670, 700, 725, 750, 775, 800, or higher MHz.
+- 800-825 MHz clock in Adreno 650 = GPU-level performance with the 870 Snapdragon, and average scored Antutu 8 > 670/680.000 - the same as in "new" Snapdragon 870 overall.

Although there is a kernel where you can set 900 MHz on the GPU (SmurfKernel 1.1.0) but here it is not guaranteed 100% stability.

OnePlus 8 12/256 @ 670 MHz Adreno - Antutu 8.5.2 scored:

Thanks. How exactly is this program/file used? is it a module for a Magisk (21.4) or for another manager (EX, Franco)? Is it installed differently yet?

Such a curiosity

Install that apk file. Open, give root and press help button.

Bootloader must be removed for this too?

Yes you will need unlocked bootloader. That's really basic knowledge

With the latest build my screen is flickering - like it's turning off for a millisecond or so. It's not that often but enough to be noticable

Edit:
So the flickering is gone, don't know what it was but it started after the update to 10.3... But that's not what caused it

Sorry!

I just asked preventively
Because I know that for such modifications you need to have the bootloader removed and the active root

Any chances to include TTL mangle module in iptables (CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL=y)? Those few people who need it need it badly.

New build has added this

At least on the latest version it's not possible for me to install an OOS update through the settings app. Once I boot the OnePlus kernel (with and without magisk) it's working.

Attached the logs where there is the error that occurs during the update.

Thanks for this, using it on the 8T/custom and running very smooth. Battery drain is fantastic as well.

 

[Dr.No.pt]

Thank you for this kernel
Wouldn't it help (even more) to lower CPU to 300 Mhz ?

That is not efficient due to freqbench result

I dont see how a benchmark utility can quantify the battery life saved by allowing 300mhz minimum. It is clearly not for performance. Our devices have more than enough performance, but many people are wanting to improve battery life. Perhaps it doesnt help, I cant say if it does or not, but the option is nice to have.
