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.
Features:
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:
If you are coming from another custom kernel:
Updating:
Just flash the latest Affinity Kernel build over the previous one

{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
