[Kernel][Flounder]Ninja Kernel[M6.0.1][FEB29][V1.4]

[gchild320]

This is my custom kernel that I've been using personally since the Nexus 9 was released. I have started updating it more frequently, and it has some unique features that other kernels on this device do not have currently.

Some of the features include:
SELinux Permissive (for root on M)
Faux's Intelliplug
Custom Governors:
bioshock, blu_active, lionheart, zzmoove, yank active, intelliactive
Arm64 topography
BFQ Scheduler (my clear favorite, there are others!)
Graphite Build Optimizations
Uber 5.3.1 aarch64 Toolchain
Linux 3.10.98 (always will be the most current linux stable)
CPU Overclock
No forced encryption

Instructions:
Flash zip in recovery
Flash SuperSU for root

Here's a link to the download (flash via twrp)

Please make a backup before flashing. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device.
Thanks to anyone and everyone that I've picked commits from. I try very hard to ensure authorship is kept.

looks like you don't have permission to access this folder. Make sure you are signed in to an account that has permission, or check with the developer to request access.

This is what I get from AFH.

Quick question, does it have the no force encryption also? Didn't see it in the OP.

Thanks.

From my understanding it's not the kernel that forces encryption, but the fstab included while flashing whatever rom. If I'm wrong I will add whatever is necessary to kernel.

fstab is always in ramdisk (so it's inside boot.img). You need to unpack and patch fstab.flounder and fstab.flounder64 (replace forceencrypt to encryptable). I wrote a quick flasheable zip yesterday to edit those files in TWRP, but maybe I missed something and that weird message of corrupted device appears in early boot. After that I flashed fire-ice kernel and it boots normally. I can share my zip with you if you want.

Thanks I didn't think of it that way since I usually build ROM+kernel together and end up editing fstab in my device files.

I've installed Ubermallow + Slim gapps and ninja kernel. It's smooth and all is running fine and smooth. Kernel is great as far as I can tell.

 

[MotoFlasher]

Hmmm ok

I test again ...


Edit
No idea what was going on ... All good now.

Running great here too... What settings do you have? Never seen bioshock or zzmoove... I'm on bioshock now with hotplug enabled and SIO (CFQ is for hard drives). So far everything seems good (performance and battery).

 

[gchild320]

I run BioShock or Lionheart usually, always underclocked...I don't typically hotplug but as far as schedulers bfq.
