DOWNLOAD KERNEL ZIP
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 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 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 r60 release (Android 10 unified)

All right crew!

First build for the 7T/Pro is up :highfive:
This kernel is unified, good to go on OP7/T/Pro (I only can test on Pro).


blu_spark_r60 release

• All the goodies available from OP7/Pro
• Synchronize codes for OnePlus 7T Pro Oxygen OS 10.0.1
• CAF updates f2fs, dm-verity/init, mm, crypto drv, devfreq, etc
• fs: exfat: version 2.2.0-3arter97
• AnyKernel3 updates
• If you use root, Magisk 20.1 or newer is mandatory

Keep in mind: I will give no active support for custom ROMs (including OOS based ones).
I am only interested on debugging stuff in stock and stable OOS (with logs and reproducible steps to replicate the issue).
Don't spam this thread with LOS or other ROMs stuff like "this don't work, my app doesn't open, etc" or debugging features.
Also don't go spam and bug reporting on ROM threads if using this.

Since there is no TWRP yet, how to flash the kernel in OOS?

You can use EXKM or Franco kernel Manager.
It flashed and booted fine on my 7T Pro.

I'm already rooted. Flashing this over the patched boot.img will cause any trouble?

Indeed flash via autoflash kernel apps work fine in a rooted environment and is thw way to go atm.
Or sideload the zip via twrp, use usb flash drive, etc.

I'm guessing we flash oos zip if we're on stock ROM and custom if we're on custom?

I think its buggy on the lock screen. Found it does work sometimes if you press very lightly.
I believe ElementalX had the same problem which was rectified with removal of verifiedbootstate hide for OP7t and OP7tPro

[opethrocks]

Does anyone know how to get the logs which would be relevant to the dev to help solve this issue?

Working fine.

OOS for OOS baswd ROMS.
Custom for AOSP/CAF source build ROMs.

Weird, never seen anything like that in any device for that matter.
7T Pro is working normal and all peachy.
Was it always like that or became so because of a ROM update?
Did you guys try to troubleshoot it, like removong the pronts and enroll again, clear Store data, etc?

Honestly I would even prefer a downclock at SD855 frequencies to save some juice.
