Got all the updates back, but without the CAF display changes that caused the issue.

Edit: Added a few more changes to audio that have also been verified.

Yes.

I wonder if this one is getting Android 12.

 

[jhosharath]

It is scheduled by Q1 of this year. So most probably by march we should get it i think. Since Zenfone 8 has got its android 12 update as promised by dec 2021

That's going to be interesting

I had assumed that was the beta registration. I had signed up, but at the same time I didn't know that I really wanted to give up everything until it was official (and had source). It depends on whether or not it came with a bootloader update (as in no going back).

@twistedumbrella is it possible for you to add a feature that unlocks the refresh rate restriction when connecting to an hdmi capture card? I really don't want to buy one of those super expensive 120hz capture cards as I only stream occasionally and just for fun. Its just not worth it for me. All I have is an HD60 capture card but the phone automatically restricts the refresh rate to 60 because of the card being only capable of capturing at 60fps

I'll look into it. That may be more of a "quality of life" restriction to not send incompatible signals. Considering 120 is a relatively newer thing on phones, it's not like 60 is the new feature. They typically wouldn't restrict something like that without at least some reason.

Yea that makes sense, but in some forums Ive read, some people say samsung doesnt have that kind of restriction. But yea asus must have restricted it for a reason but It would be really awesome if you could lift that refresh rate limit I would be happy to try it. we do it at our own risk anyway.

(Sorry for my bad english btw)

Only if it's a hardware failure.

I've been wanting to try this but I got discouraged by some of the comments but I'm going to go ahead and give it a shot so far the feedback has been pretty good

It is a good and stable kernel for gaming and everyday use in my opinion. Temperatures are handled better than stock kernel during gaming
I think I got ramdump error (if you don't use AOD) only once in my 50 days usage.

Hey @twistedumbrella

A new firmware released today.
Any changes on Kernel Level?

 

[twistedumbrella]

10,979 changed files with 736,692 additions and 190,323 deletions

A lot of it appears to be permission changes and stuff that Asus was massively behind on merging, so I am still working out what is actually relevant and what can be tossed. The downside to manufacturers managing their own version of Android is that they mix their stuff with whatever checkpoint they decide to set from the mainline.

 

[twistedumbrella]

After digging through everything, it looks like the only big change was the core networking stuff. Everything else is somewhere dead in the middle of the upstream changes. This also means it can more or less be ignored. On a positive note, Asus is actually much closer to current. To put an actual marker on it, they finally made it to the PlayStation drivers.

Anyway, the update is uploading now.

 

[twistedumbrella]

Tacked on a minor update to merge a few more settings from the stock kernel for stability

 

[twistedumbrella]

Added the 229 update. This may be the last for Android 11, but Android 12 source hasn't been added yet.
