Since Shreesha's LineageOS-15.1 is updated to Fifth Stable Build, it now requires an updated 3rd party kernel for that particular version if it has to be flashed. I've been using Blue Bolt with no issues and with an awesome battery backup would like to inform the developer @ShreyanshLodha that an further update is required for the kernel if it has to flashed for that particular ROM. Thanks.

Alright guys, its update time.
Was occupied with other work before.
But, now new version is here.

Change-Log

Important Notes

1 : Two builds, one for Lineage based ROMs and other for AOSP-CAF ROMs. [If you guys have been here from nougat days, you know the drill]
2 : I have tried improving FP and screen wake up, don't blame me if it slows down, just put a gentle message with the feeback regarding this.
3 : Some users might have to boot phone additionally in case the phone doesn't boot up after the first time. This is due to a security commit. But will surely boot up :p
4 : Working with Shreesha's Lineage and RR, as per what my testers reported.
5 : Kernel is tuned slightly more towards performance as people previously reported laggy experience, which is definitely not what I attempt to do, and in this process a little loss of battery life MIGHT be seen.
6 : On this kernel you can use both KA or EXKM for Voltage Control.
7 : Don't ask for immediate battery improvements, It takes a decent amount of time for Kernel to settle.
8 : If you are unhappy with this kernel, feel free to revert back to stock kernel or any other custom kernel, and also you are open to drop your feedback.
9 : Almost 250 + commits since last update. Could have easily forgotten to mention some stuff. If you find anything new which wasn't in Change log post and also not in previous build, feel free to remind me.

- Also the Tweaking app won't work properly on enforcing ROMs, Will try to find a workaround soon.

- And to change number of online core KA wont work properly so just navigate to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/core_ctl/always_online_cpu file, remove all the text.
and enter "x x x x" where x can be 0 or 1, 1 to online the CPU and 0 to offline it, and then save the file, this can be done from terminal shell as well.

example : "1 1 1 0" to keep CPU4,5,6 online and 7 offline.

Be mindful that these CPUs wont go offline in case there's less load, they'll still stay online, but for your convince and from my experience, I have set the value properly in Spectrum app.

P.S. : Read the change log before asking any questions.

Happy flashing!
Cheers.

Tried FP response many times. Fingerprint Screen wake time is slower than before, but fingerprint unlock when screen is on, is slightly faster. Takes from 1 to 2 seconds to wake up. And half a second to unlock when screen is already on.

Installing Spectrum froze the phone as soon as installation completed. And rebooted, phone turns off quickly after booting up, without showing the lock screen. Is it something to do with Spectrum App / Kernel update, or is it just me?

Pocket mode needs tweaking app that doesn't work with SELinux enforced.

You can read all this in release post..
Already using tweaking app (hot fix) and selinux is in permissive mode
It used to work in 3.4
But can you pls confirm issue is with me or others also

Not using rom with permissive mode can't test sorry. But I think it's not you.. The app isn't prepared for version 3.5. If I find any evidence otherwise I'll post here and tag you.. but don't count on it..

The GPU frequency does drop to 27MHz it is fixed at 250 MHZ. Is there a specific tweak ?
Thank you very match for your precious efforts
I am not having any such problem neither are my testers having this issue. Just try rebooting and checking once again. And I believe you are on Balanced mode of spectrum.

No such issue here, Spectrum is working flawlessly
If you installed any other custom kernel before with spectrum support then it can be a issue.

Thanks for update undervolt is fine.

Has anyone lowered the CPU voltage. What are the experiences. My values ​​here
Even I am using the same values from last 2 days. Working perfectly fine.

As mentioned App won't work with ROM which have SELinux Enforcing.
I am trying for a workaround but no ETAs, So you can use ROMs in-built pocket mode if it has.
It has nothing to do with Kernels version.
If you can switch to permissive SELinux then you can use pocket mode feature. Don't ask for the steps for the same here.
