Development [KERNEL]Despair Kernel

[DespairFactor]

All I'm seeing is 2.02 in the first post download link for A12L

I had to pull it, I am updating now. Looks like the patch causes bootloops on 12.1 unfortunately

 

[RetroTech07]

I would love to try a new kernel, but every time I do my idle drain just goes sky high and I can never understand why.

I flashed your initial 2.04, it wouldn't boot. Tried reflashing the entire 12.1 stock rom to get a bootable device.
No dice.
Unfortunately, it looks like I'm gonna have to do a full internal storage wipe and clean install...

You just need to flash back dtbo, boot, and the two vendor files. Have you tried that?

 

[reaper000]

Yeah, the dirty flash would have included all that... still bootlooped.
Only a totally clean flash has gotten me booting.

Not blaming anyone -- that's the acknowledged risk we all take when flashing stuff

 

[RetroTech07]

I know you did a dirty flash, but was hoping doing it with just the 4 files would work.

I'm overly cautious now, making sure I backup before I do any sort of mod because I've lost out on some small things before.

Sorry you had to do a wipe, though.

you flashed a file that I never said was good to flash. Also, the initial 2.04 was from several hours ago and it is running on my device right now.

Look, I already said (post #325) I'm not blaming anybody -- including you, @DespairFactor -- for my troubles. I appreciate your work and will continue to use it because you put out damn good product. I've used your kernels/ROMs for years.
However, I have every right to post my experience with flashing that product. Which is all I did. Perhaps it was a bad download, a bad flash, whatever. As a dev, I would think you need to know it didn't go for me. But then you accused me of "flashing a file that I never said was good to flash"?!?
@DespairFactor: See your own post -- #319 -- on this thread.
To me, that post "New 2.04 released with DAC support fixed" , is you saying 2.04 was good to flash. I'm not sure how anybody can read that differently. Heck, I even tapped "Like" on it.

Android 13 Beta 1 kernel is up, you may flash using the zip

 

[DespairFactor]

Android 13 Beta 2 kernel is up on drive. Also have been making some changes to A12 kernels

Hey mate, is it safe to flash the latest version on July update?
i gotta say, after trying numerous kernels and ROMs, I find that the best combo (temperature-wise), is stock with Despair kernel. Could be placebo of course.
I do zero gaming, and on other ROMs with different kernels, the temperature climbs up to 39 degrees in a matter of like 4 minutes. With Despair on stock, I can actually browse the web, use Instagram, Telegram, Reddit and Spotify and the temperature will still reach around 39 degrees but noticeably slower, so that's good.

yeah it will work, I also have updated for July, it's not much of a difference from June. I also have raised the max brightness of the display.

Telegram says this chat doesn't exist? Is there anywhere else to discuss the kernel?

I see two new A13 kernels in the Drive folder, including one under 'LTO' which I flashed but unsure what this is or what to compare it to? Phone has also been running a bit warm and I'm not sure if the kernel could be causing it or if others are experiencing the same?

Thanks.
