Q&A

What is Energy Aware Scheduling : Go through this amazing thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/kernel-renderzenith-t3659850

Here is a review on the new kernel with EAS : post #184

Q. After flashing the latest build with EAS there is a slight impact on battery life.
A. This is an expected behavior, please do not worry. Let the device go through and drain and then a full charge and another drain. This will allow EAS to settle in and adjust frequencies. After that you will notice amazing battery life.

Q. I am getting partition error while flashing the zip file.
A. Please use the latest TWRP recovery for the P10 Plus. The P10 Plus recovery will work on P10 as well (as reported by some users)

Q. What should I use to modify the kernel settings ?
A. I personally use EX Kernel Manager, but here is a free and amazing kernel manager that works with this kernel
Kernel Manger (To change kernel settings and setup the tweaks) :

Q. Not able to change Internal I/O scheduler ?
A. This post will clarify why : Post #53

Great to see it up and now I don't have to be quiet about it.

 

[nupi]

Says selinux permissive, any chance to run it in enforcing mode?

 

[mataflakitas]

Woooow is amazing ..

I'm running AOSP, 8.1, on US Mate 9, with Magisk but stock recovery. I have backups of kernel and ramdisk. Is there any reason not to flash this kernel with adb rather than installing TWRP?

 

[edjocute]

I'm getting a partition error when trying to flash this. Tried both Blackball's 3.2.1 and TWRP-3.0.3-for_Oreo.img with the same error. Recovery.log attached.

Edit: Used the recovery from this thread and it flashed successfully. Thanks for the kernel!

Flashed this on Saturday. It's Monday now and I'm thinking of flashing back my original kernel. Although the battery life is somewhat better, my phone lags on this kernel. The degradation in performance is noticeable when it comes to scrolling in general. It also generally lags after turning the screen on for a few seconds (I'm guessing it takes a few seconds to change the CPU frequency back into something higher?).
It's also worth mentioning that my phone restarted itself one time after freezing. (Wasn't doing anything special, just browsing Reddit and it suddenly froze and restarted.)
Oh, and my Antutu score running this kernel is 20,000 points lower than my stock._.
Running on MHA-L09C185B372 if you're wondering.
Thanks for your work though! It's good to see that someone's working on something for Huawei devices.

I'm running AOSP, 8.1, on US Mate 9, with Magisk but stock recovery. I have backups of kernel and ramdisk. Is there any reason not to flash this kernel with adb rather than installing TWRP?

how stable is it and how did u root it with magisk does hide work and how is the camera quality and does it have dual sim ?
sorry for asking a lot i really want to use AOSP but i dont know if its stable

 

[prestonmcafee]

I'm happy with it. The things that aren't fully working for me are SD card (only files and VLC see it and read/write) and headphones (which aren't recognized except unless I make or receive a call first). Here is a lengthier explanation:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76231795&postcount=23

I did root with Magisk so that I could install the Huawei camera, which now has full functionality and high quality photos. Magisk reports passing the safetynet checks. I haven't had an app crash, or a full crash for that matter in two days of use. I only have one sim so I don't know if the second works; the system asked me if I was using one sim and I said yes, so evidently the OS thinks it supports two sims. I'm much happier with it, won't go back.

Go through thread the answer has been posted, if it doesn't work then it's probsbly because of trebel so nothing I can do to help with that

 

[vijer]

Never mind, used another method.

Dear dev. It's possible to add some features to display tuning?
