[GalalMoustafa]

Is this kernel compatible with miui ? What about dc dimming in miui and brightness bar values and net speed monitor ?

 

[Serotonin25]

May I ask if this kernel also contains Pixel thermal hal for the Pixel Experience ROM?

The latest build is in the OP, MIUI is added

 

[Jaseemxx91]

Will this kernel work with PE12 ? Anyone tried? Feedback please

 

[predragiPredrag]

Will this kernel work with PE12 ? Anyone tried? Feedback please

This kernel doesn't support PE since it doesn't have google thermal hal. And in pe12 theme it is clearly stated that pe12 doesn't support custom kernels.

[guzmangreen]

Hi, does anybody know if battery idle mode working on Android 12 or 13 with this kernel? It's working on Poco F1 similar phone, but it has different kernel. You can see that in this video on YT
