Probably your download was corrupted

Works fine for me and it also allow me to use Google Pay on rooted phone :victory:

Stock rom support is deprecated,
please read the first post not just download and flash

Stock rom support is deprecated,
please read the first post not just download and flash

There's the how to for Stock in OP and deprecated version is indicated as . 107. But indeed. 228 is out of support

Anyway, thanks for this kernel for future uses :good:

 

[linckandrea]

so guys after many of you ended up confused on stock compatibility i decided to delete all traces of stock version inside the first post

my recommendation is only one . Read all post and don't rush on download button


now some member of test group ask my to open the telegram group via link:
so here is it

best app to change kernel settings

thanks for the kernel.
what is the best app to change settings such as clock speed, governor etc...?
I tried some of them in the Google play and undervolting was not supported.

 

[Al_Capwn]

how can i make this work on G8343 version of XZ1??

Also thanks for bringing my attention to linaro, my phones are running:

• TWRP 3.4.0
• LineageOS 17
• Magisk 20.4

however kernel doesn't like canadian version of XZ1

Introduction

Hello everyone,
the goal of this kernel is to be stable but guarantee many tunable settings to all advanced users

Features
-Compiled With the latest Aosp clang version
-Updated with the latest sources
-Cpu governors:blu_active, all stocks
-Cpu underclock to 230Mhz
-Gpu undeclock to 180Mhz
-I/O: Fiops, Zen, Maple,BFQ, all stocks
-Tcp congestion algorithms: westwood (tunable), all stocks
-Boeffla_wl_blocker (generic wakelock blocker driver)
-Sound control
-Wireguard support
-many patches to improve performance and battery
-Disable some unnecessary debugs
-More tweaks(check source)

Installation instructions

if you are on stock kernel and you have magisk installed
--Reboot in recovery
--Wipe dalvik cache,cache(recommended)
--flash pop kernel

if you are on an previous version (clean install method)
--Reboot in recovery
--Wipe dalvik cache,cache(recommended)
--flash the stock kernel of your rom
--boot
--Reboot in recovery
--Wipe dalvik cache,cache(recommended)
--flash magisk
--boot
--Reboot in recovery
--Wipe dalvik cache,cache(recommended)
--flash pop kernel


Note:
1. This kernel works with any rom that use a 4.4y kernel

2.this kernel work only on Q custom roms and it NOT work on stock rom

3. It require latest version of magisk since modules are NOT directly pushed inside system/vendor

4. Some member of test group ask my to open the telegram group via link: so here is it (enter only if you want to be a tester)

Hello, i have tried your kernel several times with some custom roms for G8341 (PE10, Havoc and iodé) and i must say, this is very good and stable kernel, better than stock kernel no problems with daily use until i set up things in kernel adiutor.

One thing which i noticed is 4 times more battery consumption in average after setup in kernel adiutor (from 60-100mA to 200-300mA, no apps running only test apps, i have tested it with AIDA64 and AccuBattery) - after setup min frequency to 230mA for little and big cluster and change CPU governors to Blu_active, before restart is lower consumption (around 50mA). After restart is more battery consumption even if i change governor back to interactive.
Please check this problem because it havent any logic if i underclock cpu and around 4 times more battery drain.
Also even if you present some functions and with this functions enabled is worse for ex. battery consumption or tell me if this is normal.
Thank you.

CPU gov and CPU freqs should not been setted random

About your other question setting too low the cpu and using your phone normally make the gov do a ping pong effect where the gov jump from to the min freq to the more powe hungry max freq everytime un order to make the phone

Thank you for your answer and for your work.
I had tested several times this kernel on iode rom and sometimes i noticed similar battery drain issue even with untouched kernel.

I tried ur kernel with Sony xzp( dowloaded it from sony xzp thread), but it's stuck at Google logo. Latest version of Pixel Experience. What could be the issue?

 

[linckandrea]

From now on all future versions will be EAS

check first post for more details and to download the latest ver.
