[KERNEL] C20 Kernel for Motorola Z3 Play (beckham) [OC]

[nach0x]

C20 Kernel​

Hi all!
Here is my custom kernel for the beckham, it is based in the LineageOS SDM660 Kernel, with the fixes from @Jleeblanch

The aim of this project is to have a kernel with overclock capabilities in order to get the Snapdragon 636 more closer to the Snapdragon 660. The rest of the kernel will be remain untouched (or for the most part).

Features:

- CPU Overclocked Big clusger up to 2.45 ghz (default frequency set at 2.2 Ghz) Small cluster up to 1.9 ghz
- GPU model faked to Adreno 512, with this now games loads more optimized drivers aimed for the 512.
- For some reason CPU-Z detects the device as a Snapdragon 660 (I wouldn't call this a feature )

Geekbench results

Installation
1. Flash in TWRP recovery

How stable it is on overclocked speed?

Awesome to finally see some recent development for this phone. Are there an bugs with this kernel?

 

[raimyson]

is it possible to download the original kernel version? when I use this kernel the moto fashion doesn't work correctly

Go here - https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/beckham/official/

Choose your channel (it's listed in settings), and download the zip. Unpack the archive, find the boot.img file, go to fastboot, then flash it to both slots.

Stoked about this. This phone has not gotte much love and just glad its starting to see something! Hoping to get the latest version of Android on this thing sooner or later.

It usually depends on your device, but I managed to get a stable OC at max Frequency. Regarding bugs, the kernel is 95% similar to the one found in LOS, only things that have changed are the frequency table, GPU model, and some minor tweaks.

I have also made Stock rom compatible kernel with OC capabilities. Tell me guys if you want it as well!

C20 Kernel for Stock Rom is available.

Hi! Yes, it can be applied to any LOS 16 and LOS 17 based rom, this applies also to any GSI.

Am I able to use Lineage Recovery, or is TWRP the only way?

 

[mosta00]

It's was apply for me by Lineage recovery. Also Magisk Root to.:good:

It's a AnyKernel 3 script, so it should mantain your current recovery and root.

You can flash it via TWRP or any tool that supports flashing zips

 

[anorman]

Does this kernel have the TTL patch compiled in?

 

[chukundeda]

Thank you nach0x very much for this Kernel!

I flash the Kernel for Stock ROM about 2 weeks ago and it works perfectly so far. I got almost the same result in Geekbench, but as I notice in this Kernel the default Governor is Performance unlike the one for the LinageOS, where the Governor is Interactive. Does it matter?
And GPU is not changed to 512 on Stock Kernel like you said for LinageOS Kernel

Hi, it's me again. I am surprised that no one else is showing interest in this wonderful kernel tweak.
In a meantime, LineageOS presents the official 18.1 ROM for Moto Z3 Play based on Android 11. I use it for a while with no issues at all, also update it 2 times through the system update.
I try C20 Kernel on this ROM but have some bugs, the SIM cards don't work, and Moto Gestures also.

So, I want to ask if someone can try to make a new OC kernel for LineageOS 18.1, PLEASE! I am not a developer but I'm willing to try it and test its stability.

I was thinking about it last week, overall performance on Android 9/10 is really fine with OC. Is it possible comes to android R?

can i use it on pixel experience android 11?
