[KERNEL][Dispossible]A kernel for EMUI9.0 or ROMs based on EMUI9.0

[Dispossible]

I just made few changes on the official open source kernel. Maybe I will continue to add some new functions.
My last post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-play/how-to/flash-kernel-to-disable-selinux-emui9-0-t3951264

Some features:
This kernel is based on the official open source kernel.
This kernel allows users to use "setenforce 0" or "setenforce 1" to change the status of selinux.
This kernel unlock some schedulers of CPU and GPU which were hidden.


======FBI Warning======
It was only tested on my phone...
The phone is COR-AL10 and the system is offcial AEX of View 10.
I don't know whether it could work on L29 or official EMUI9.0.
I know it will not work on EMUI8 or other 8 systems.
I don't konw whether it could cause hardware damage to your phone.
=====================

Introducions:

1. Maybe we can backup the kernel first.(If you are brave, you can skip this step.)
I used the mt manager 2.0 (free editon) to copy the /dev/block/by-name/kernel_a to somewhere interesting.
Then we reboot the phone and hold the vol- to enter the bootloader mode.
2. We can use this command to flash the kernel.

fastboot flash kernel xxx.img

3. We can use this command to reboot.

fastboot reboot

4. If there are any problems after flashing this kernel, you could flash the official kernel or your backup kernel.

ps. Flashing kernel could not cause losing data. But I suggest you do a backup.

pps. Why we flash the kernel to change the selinux status? Because the official kernel don't allow user use the command "setenforce" to change the status. It means that the status must be "enforcing". Now you can use the command "setenforce 0" to make the SELinux interesting.

Yes. Mosts of V10's ROMs can work on PLAY.

What about notch?

What about notch?

Most of ROMs can recognize the notch. The left side of the bar will push some icons of apps. If there are too many icons, the system will only leave suitable icons and the last one will be replaced by a dot to tell you there are more messeges. And the right side of the bar can show the battery, bluetooth, WiFi, LTE, signal etc. But if we set too many icons on the right side, the system will only show a part of them and no prompt.

So which rom will work best on honor play

So which rom will work best on honor play

In my opinion, AEX may be the best one. You can use V10's AEX ROMs.

Yes. Mosts of V10's ROMs can work on PLAY.

Is there a reason why the V10 has so many ROMs while this device is pretty much dead development-wise? Is the V10 much more popular? I know the bootloader is locked but at least the Honor Play can be unlocked "easily" with a hardware modification.

V10 sold very well, so there are a lot of ROMs. And maybe PLAY has no way to unlock for free

I do not know whether it is available. Did you made it? I paid for unlock code so I didn't try it.

V10 sell well and have more users. And early V10 can unlock for free. In China we can spend 100CNY(around 14USD) to unlock in Taobao without "hardware modification". I don't known the unlock way all over the world.
