blu_spark_r134 release (A13 custom)

New build is up (y)

I tested with lineage-20.0-20230307-nightly, kernel build may work with other ROMs that use similar device/kernel trees (confirm before flashing).
This is only for ROMS with A13 fw kernel patchset.
This kernel is tested for the 9 Pro but it's unified, so should work for the OP9 also.

For flashing and easy of install logging, Kernel Flasher is recommended

You can use Kernel Flasher/FKM download kernel feature, just import the link bellow in the app updates/flash section.
Download config: custom


Changelog:



Keep in mind:
I am mostly interested on debugging stuff with logs and reproducible steps to replicate the issue.

I'm sorry, I've never done any kernel stuff before and I just don't fully understand how to accomplish this. I tried just flashing the zip as an ak3 and I get a weird screen glitch most boots, and had to restore from a backup to fix it.
So I assume the config is important and that's the step I missed. I downloaded the file as a json but I'm not sure what to do with it in kernel flasher. there's no json option and it doesn't work to select a json file. I'm sorry to bother but I just don't see what I'm missing in kernel flasher to get this up and running.
Thank you for any info!!
If you have graphical glitches, it means your ROM/build isn't using firmware/vendor blobs compatible with this kernel.

For the updater to work, add the URL from the json in Kernel Flasher Updates section. Then you'll be able to enter view and check changelog, downlaod kernel, etc
Zips will be in the Downloads folder, you must then enter the enabled slot menu in Kernel Flasher and Flash the zip.

i'm using blissrom which i believe uses lineage 20 as a base. after a couple reboots i was able to get it to boot without graphical glitches. i just restored back to the stock kernel cause i didnt wanna risk it anymore. i just wanted to ask what im supposed to do with the configuration json inside of kernel flasher. i'd be happy to report if it's compatible or not but i wanna give you a fair shot, i assume i made a mistake

Check my answer again.
Also a ROM being based from something doesn't mean it's compatible with current kernel patchset for that same base.
For instance we ran LOS 20 with A12 firmware and now it's A13. Sometimes different firmwares revisions within the same patchset also makes a difference, blobs merged, etc.
It's up to you to make your homework and understand what is compatible with what and why it's not.

running latest Nameless, No sound whatsoever. tried installing viper and other audio mods with the same result. Wavelet gives me an error saying wavelet was unable to instantiate QUALCOMM technologies virtualization... Also tried with disabling dolby and its other related packages and without as well

Update Nameless. Sound on 230320 works again with the kernel.

    @eng.stk would you consider supporting OverlayFS (https://github.com/HuskyDG/magic_overlayfs) ? I was using your kernel but had to stop because it doesn't support it, it makes a difference when it comes to being able to mount system partitions as RW. Hope you can consider it. Thanks!!!
    It's already there:

    Hows the battery life on the latest build ?
    latest kernel build. and current lineage 20230514-NIGHTLY-lemonade. works perfect. Battery is a dream come true. The linage AOD consumes a lot of battery. but you can easily turn it off. excellent blue_spark work as always. Big thanks to Mr. eng_stk

    Thank you so much for letting me know, I just flashed your kernel and OverlayFS is working perfect, I'm so glad I'm back to your kernel, my phone is so snappy as soon as I flash your kernel as always, thanks again!!!

    DOWNLOAD KERNEL ZIP
    Kernel Flasher/FKM download configs: oos | custom
    (No mirrors please)​


    Setup and troubleshoot: To install just flash the zip on a stock setup with either TWRP or autoflash kernel app.
    If you come from other kernel or have any issues, you should restore your stock boot.img/vendor_boot.img or dirty flash your ROM before flashing blu_spark zip to avoid problems. Also uninstall or clean data of any kernel control app you're using.
    If you are upgrading between blu_spark versions, just flash the kernel zip.

    About bugs and reports: don't bother to post if a log isn't ready or without steps so the behavior can be replicated. I only active support stock OOS ROM with NO mods whatsoever (apart from root). That includes NO support if using xposed, Magisk with added modules, etc.
    If you're using custom ROMs (including stock based ones) and OOS Open Betas you're much on your own. I'm mostly interested on debugging stuff in stock and stable OOS.
    Also try not to spam the thread with OT. There's threads for all kind of stuff, use them.

    Going back to stock: This kernel installer doesn't change your filesystem. You can backup your boot.img/vendor_boot.img with TWRP or kernel app before flashing blu_spark if you want to go back to full stock or just dirty flash your full ROM.

    blu_spark_r23 release

    First blu_spark build for the OP9 series is up (y)

    This kernel is tested for the 9 Pro but it's unified, so should work for the OP9 also (need some fixes since code is broken). So backup you boot if you want to test and let me know :)
    Kernel already have some merged goodies and I think I have a good base to work with. For a couple days of work, it's not bad :)
    I'll take a look into more stuff to come, some things in OP are WIP. Stay tuned!

    You can use FKM download kernel feature, just import the links bellow in the app.
    FKM download configs: oos


    Changelog:
    • Build with Google Clang 12.0.5 + LLD linker
    • Synchronize codes for OnePlus 9/Pro Oxygen 11.2.6.6.LE25AA
    • Several build error fixes and quirks handled
    • Compilation improvements an cruf removed
    • Some goodies already merged like filesystem stuff, cpu governor & boost/msm perf, TCP algos, wakelock blocker, vibration and haptic feedback control, gpu adrenoboost, etc
    • All drivers builtin, wifi stack and datarmmnet merged from CAF
    • net/wireguard: merge v1.0.20210424


    Keep in mind: I will give no active support for custom ROMs (including OOS based ones).
    I am mostly interested on debugging stuff in stock stable OOS (with logs and reproducible steps to replicate the issue).

    Good (or perhaps not so good?) day everyone! I've removed a few posts but left the ones that matter: civilized closure of conflict – social media can learn a thing or two from this. As we sit behind our desks and in our couches (or on a plane, even that's a thing nowadays), protected by that anonymity shield, we easily throw our words out into the world. And sometimes we regret them. Unfortunately, we find it so easy to judge one another for that. But facing the fact that we're all just humans that make mistakes, I believe we know that we shouldn't judge so quickly. Now more than ever; kindness should prevail.

    Thank you for your attention and have an energetic day or quiet night in your part of the world. If you need a chat, drop me a line. Just keep our development threads focused on development and mutual respect.

    Cheers!
