I'm having a problem,
i'm using the stock rom, flashed this kernel via twrp and after it i flashed the magisk, but when im using the phone my apps and games keeps crashing, can someone help me?

The apps quit to home screen as if i pressed the home button.

Edit: i installed havoc OS and it seems to be working fine with it, i wonder why my stock rom was having so much trouble, i ven used the right version for the OneUi... I'll try again with stock later, any tips to solve the problems?

Eureka R6.5 update for A30

Changelog:

-> Further overclocked BIG cores from 2080 MHz to 2184 MHz.
-> Undervolted the whole soc (exynos 7885) including CPU and GPU.
-> Tweaked kernel for stability and less battery drain at high frequencies.
-> Enabled back 312 MHz and 343 MHz frequencies for big and little cores respectively.
-> Fixed automatic scaling to overclocked frequencies. No need to force frequencies now!
-> CPU throttling bypass increased till 2184 MHz for big cores.
-> Automatic detection of root when flashing kernel. If you are already rooted, you won't lose root when
flashing kernel as from now. So, no need to flash magisk after kernel!!
-> Added powersuspend driver v1.8 - saves battery when screen is off.
-> Removed/disabled some more useless debugging codes and Samsung securities.
-> Added an improved version of KSM known as UKSM (Ultra Kernel Samepage Merging) - Decreases ram usage
-> Removed Userspace lmkd and switched back to stock LMK.
-> Added Maple I/O scheduler
-> Disable GFS for better ui responsiveness for all kernels now.
-> Fixed issue of bootloop!! - No more stucking on bootlogo.
-> Slight improvement in boot speed.
-> Built kernel with latest Proton Clang 13 and LTO for better performance.
-> Optional spectrum support - Flash enable_spectrum_support.zip on your internal storage to enable spectrum.
-> Fixed random reboot on android 11 GSIs. If you still get reboots, then the issue is with the GSI. Please
contact the maintainer of the GSI for any fix. Tested Superior GSI android 11 and got no reboot.
-> Updated WireGuard to v1.0.20210219 (latest version)
-> Updated kernel to latest source
-> Updated GPU driver from R19p0 (26/06/2019) to R26p0 (10/09/2020)
-> Upstreamed kernel version from 4.4.238 to 4.4.267 (latest)
-> Unified kernel sources for A10, A20, A20e, A30, A30s and A40

This kernel is blazzing fast.
Incredible improvements to my SAKURA ROM.
Only issue is that it says SD card needs fixing - Asks to format it.

Also a general question, does the Kernel dictate if SIM slots will work or not?
I have been trying to install so many variants of MIUI ROM, the latest being One OS which is the GSI version of MIUI rom. For some reason every kernel i tried including yours doesn't seem to address the SIM card issue. Would that mean that there is something wrong with the ROM itself?

You are trying to install miui on samsung phone
Of course, other fixes are needed on the gsi. not on the kernel tho
These fixes might be available on telegram

Hey, so I flashed the eureka 7.0 kernel on my samsung galaxy a30 android 11, but my phone keeps rebooting automatically at startup. What might be causing that?
You have a weak phone unfortunately. Not all phones support 2184 MHz frequency.
Flash this spectrum support in recovery to limit max frequency to 2080 MHz.
This requires root access. U can change spectrum profile using hktweaks app

→ Enabled back 208 MHz frequency for big and little cores.
→ DTB is now used to customize Eureka features such as CPU and GPU frequencies.
→ DTBO is only used to disable dm-verity as from now.
→ Added a new flashlight control driver which will be used on AOSP/LOS based ROMs. It will also fix low flashlight issue on GSIs. This new driver does not interfere with camera (which was causing dark photos for some A20 users) Footej camera app is recommended for custom roms.
→ Imported latest Samsung updates from A305F R kernel source.
→ "Samsung A10 1.2A input charging current" feature still depends on Eureka dtbo. Will fix it on next update

This clearly shows that you did not read the XDA post :)
And, better use telegram for android development. You will get all the help you need there.

Anyways, check the XDA post, download and flash custom dtb 2
Cheers!

    EK A30 XDA.jpg

    Hi all,
    this is the thread for a custom kernel i made for Samsung Galaxy A30.
    The custom kernel has been named Eureka which is a greek work which means "I have found the solution". This multi-purpose kernel is the solution for battery, gaming, performance for A30. On creating this kernel, I believed that 1 kernel can be all of the above if properly tweaked!

    As from Eureka R9.0, four kernel variants are available inside 1 same zip. This has been made possible using AROMA Installer.

    Compatibility:
    This kernel is compatible with AOSP GSIs/ROMs, OneUI2 and OneUI3. As from R9.0, there is only 2 variants of zip to download. One is called EMS and the other one is called HMP. Continue reading to learn more about them.


    FEATURES:
    * Disabled Samsung security features
    * Enabled all governors + added other governors
    * Overclocked CPU as follows:
    BIG Cores: from 1768 MHz to 2288 MHz.​
    LIL Cores: from 1586 MHz to 1794 MHz.​
    * Underclocked CPU as follows:
    BIG Cores: from 936 MHz to 208 MHz.​
    LIL Cores: from 839 MHz to 208 MHz.​
    * Added GPU thermal and voltage control
    * Added latest boeffla wl blocker V 1.1.0 and disabled some wakelocks
    * Network speed improvement
    * Enable zram support and set default compressor as zstd.
    * Switch to a lower charging voltage more quickly.
    * GPU max frequency overclocked from 845 MHz to 1300 MHz
    * Implemented Dynamic FSync 2.0
    * Implemented a custom hotplug driver to enhance battery management
    * Implemented Power Suspend driver
    * High torch brightness on custom roms/gsis
    * Has Spectrum support
    * Automatic detection of magisk - If u are rooted, u don't need to flash magisk after kernel.
    * Upstreamed kernel version from 4.4.177 to 4.4.302
    * Built with Vortex Clang 14 toolchain with LTO. Reason: Better performance
    * Support for EMS (Exynos Mobile Scheduler) added

    Please read the changelog on github for full list of changes.

    KNOWN ISSUES:
    * Maybe ADB cannot be used at the same time as MTP


    SOME MINOR TWEAKS FOR BEST GPU PERFORMANCE:
    * Set GPU power policy to "always on"
    * Set min and max GPU frequency to 1200/1300 MHz
    * Disable GPU thermal manager to prevent GPU frequency from dropping
    * Games don't require high CPU frequency because they depend more on GPU. You can therefore decrease CPU max frequencies to reduce heating of the device.

    We have developed our own kernel manager called EKManager which is a fork of HkTweaks. It is compatible only with Eureka Kernels. You can download it from here:

    Reference about EMS kernel:
    Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) gives the scheduler the ability to predict the impact of its decisions on the energy consumed by CPUs. EAS relies on an Energy Model (EM) of the CPUs to select an energy efficient CPU for each task. Allowing to save up battery even further. EMS aka Exynos Mobile Scheduler, is a fork of EAS for Exynos. We ported to our 4.4.y kernel. As written above, EMS kernel is good for battery saving. Some words from kernel official docs: - EAS operates only on heterogeneous CPU topologies (such as Arm big.LITTLE) because this is where the potential for saving energy through scheduling is the highest.
    EMS kernel + pwrutilx governor is very good at battery saving according to our test.

    Reference about HMP kernel:
    It's just the stock scheduler that comes with stock kernel. Basically it's the normal kernel.

    What kernel variant to flash once inside AROMA installer?
    1) AOSP Legacy Q/R/S - If you are using an old Eureka ROM which was released before February 2022, choose this.
    2) AOSP Q/R/S (New) - If you are using an Eureka ROM built as from February 2022, choose this.
    3) OneUI 2 - For any OneUI 2 roms (stock/ports).
    4) OneUI 3 - For any OneUI 3 roms (stock/ports).

    Download link for A30 (Read above to know which version to download for your OS):
    All releases of Eureka for Q/R/S ROMs/GSIs (including OneUI)

    New Update of our Eureka Kernel and there OFFICIAL FEATURES for version R10

    Downloads at our Telegram Channel (find on the first Post!)

    • Modifications to sLMK driver and its configs, to avoid LMK killing every app, but kill based on Linux kernel's task priority. Idle RAM usage decreased, multitasking improved.
    • Fix an old bug of Eureka Kernel, kernel panic if USB debugging is on, and the phone is connected to PC, and the user tries MTP mode. The fix was inspired by exynos9820 (Linux 4.14) usb driver.
    • Update Simple LMK driver to latest commit. Includes various memory and driver itself optimizations.
    • Upstream cfq I/O scheduler, F2FS driver in kernel
    • Enable misc configs for NetHunter support. (E.g. mac80211, Sysvpic, USBconfigfs drivers...)
    • Merge upstream patches for USB configfs HID driver. Used for NetHunter.
    • Misc improvments, hacks applied kernel tree wide
    • Rewrote mbcache driver - May be misc improvements in I/O operations on ext4 fs
    • Revert LZ4 driver changes
    • Adjust TCP Westwood parameters for better internet speed
    • /proc/kmsg is now toggleable. Use this command to control kmsg buffer:
      # echo 1 or 0 > /sys/module/printk/parameters/enabled
