I got a freeze so I'm game for it. I assume it's OK to flash over 10.5.5 but I will do some reading first.

Thanks for working continously on this excellent kernel.
On my 7.11 ABCrom i get a problem with the battery indicator and akku display when i install your kernel zip. The cause seems to be inside your kernel zip and not the kernel itself. Maybe the healthd in your zip is to old? Can you take a look? Am i the only one with this problem on latest 7.11?

Thanks for the report.
I will add the new healthd from 7.1.1

Update from battlefield:
- test 1 froze in hour 24 when tablet wasn't even in use (not sure if it's kernel issue though),
- test 2 is on hour 27 of uptime, it choked a bit once while watching Twitch but recovered after a minute, no other issues so far.
- I'm starting with test 3 now

Pm sent.
@USBhost not sure if it even sent. It's not showing up in XDALabs (where I sent it from)
Replied.


edit: 4 (i think this will do it)
edit: 5 (i think i found something...)
edit: 5.1 (no new version)
i think what i been doing is just a small/temporary workaround...
there's something bigger i'm not seeing... what can it be?...
edit: 6 (let me know if you get any freezes)

For me results are... mixed. I've got to 38 hours when tablet finally froze permanently (during installing updates from Play store), but I've got a few chokes earlier. It takes from a minute up to 5 for tablet to recover from them.
Although when it works, it works good, tablet feels fast and all the apps (including Netflix) run smooth and are responsive. In the end of the day: it's still the best experience on this tablet with Nougat

thanks for the all help!

test 5 is up if you want to test.
its another one of my theories.
If you get any freezes let me know.

I will try testing as well, is there anything i need to do to help you test other than report freezes? Also I'm using substratum, will your kernel break any already applied overlays? I am on ABCrom 7.1.1, anything else i should know?

I wish I had time to dive into this. I think that when you take a step back, way back and look at when the N9 bug started. (One of the first things I would try to find out) What ever it is has now spanned 3 android versions. Even when you look at googles git, development for the N9 dripped like a cliff when Nexus went away from the whole Denver/tegra experiment. Its stuck @ v.1.0 . That also means that the bionic people might not be tracking it. (You do strait compile on kernel source or @ top of device repos??? Hmmmm) That would be an interesting test. I always did think that compiling in a device tree pulled the kernel from being solely Linux over to android a bit more. If you look at the buffer, there is a sack more going on @ make bootimage then strait make @ kernel source.

Or maybe its the long game. See, its happening with everybody. What about repatching the kernel with every sequential update patch from conception on. I just don't know about mass patching and patch bundles.

Another thing is I haven't tried taking a full google update pack from the image site and first flashing it and if it fixed stuff to diff the whole freaking thing. I think it would become clear quickly at that point that it isn't even in the kernel, honestly.
Back on skyrocket, I would rebase my oc kernel every year, maybe add something when it came up like quick charge but that was it. There wasn't enough to do in just the kernel so I posted some ROMs that had my kernel.

Baaaaahhhh! lol

Maybe over Christmas I will try FI with a factory image

There is such a remarkable difference in your kernel and everyone elses. Tablet is flying now and I've noticed CPU is clocked lower than the previous kernel i was using. It charges faster, responds quicker, and doesn't get as hot. Awesome job! Thank you!

it will not break any already applied overlays...
it will just break changes.

i just got a idea.... (i'll leave it for the next update)

Thanks for those thoughts!

But i do have some hunches that it's not the ROM.
