[khaos227]

Introduction:

Affinity Kernel is a custom kernel based on the latest Stable Linux 4.4 release from kernel.org.
This kernel is developed with performance and great battery life in mind offering some goodies cherry-picked from other popular kernels such as Flash Kernel, ElementalX, blu_spark, Boeffla Kernel, Sultan Kernel and Franco Kernel.
The kernel is always up to date with mainline linux kernel and is regulary updated with the latest fixes.

The goal is to provide a butter smooth experience, simmilar to what you get with the latest Pixel devices.
Affinity Kernel is based on the official kernel source released by OnePlus.

Installation:
Before you install the kernel, make sure you have
a backup of boot partition in case something goes wrong!

If you are coming from stock kernel:

1. Reboot into TWRP
2. Flash the Affinity Kernel.zip
3. Reboot

If you are coming from another custom kernel:

1. Reboot into TWRP
2. Dirty flash your rom or restore boot backup if you have any
3. Reboot recovery
4. Flash the Affinity Kernel.zip
5. Reboot

Updating:

Just flash the latest Affinity Kernel build over the previous one

Downloads:
{Mod edit}
On ROMs like Dirty Unicorns, WLAN won't work because the wlan module is required
to load on device initcall rather than late initcall like other ROMs do. There's a workaround for it but
it breaks WLAN on all ROMs that have the module built inline or the CAF way

Yes, you can flash Magisk after flashing Affinity Kernel

So if Magisk is already installed, do you have to flash magisk again after flashing kernel or do you have to uninstall/reinstall after Affinity?

Thanks

What do you mean ? Does it not boot ? Or does it go in a loop ? Does it give you a blue led black screen ?
Please be more specific
