[KERNEL][LineageOS 13/14.1] Steel 6/7 Kernel

[Nick80835]

-STEEL 6/7 KERNEL-
This is my kernel based on the LineageOS stock kernel! I try to keep it as optimized as possible while adding a few features here and there. Suggest or request features, I don't care as long as it's logical. I hope you like it! Everyone has a different taste though.

-CREDITS-
ZaneZam, Lord Boeffla, Yarpiin, anupritaisno1, Pranay Narang, FranciscoFranco, the XOS team, LineageOS, osm0sis, aviraxp and maybe a couple others, i'm sorry if I forgot someone!

-FEATURES-
• CPU underclock to 302mhz on big and little clusters.
• GPU underclock to 27mhz.
• GPU default governor is simple_ondemand.
• Zram disabled.
• CPU Governors: interactive, ondemand and performance.
• Franco wakelock blocker.
• SLIMbus overclock.
• Fingerprint boost.
• Kcal control.
• Spectrum support with 4 preconfigured profiles.
• Headphone audio boost.

-DOWNLOADS-
Google Drive

-COMPATIBILITY-
It is most compatible with LineageOS 14.1/13 and most ROMs based on it. It should work on AOSP/CAF ROMs but not all features are guaranteed.

-BUILD INFO-
I use UBERTC 4.9.4 and Kubuntu Linux 17.

Known Issues: Tell me please! Seriously.. tell me.

 

[suraj.das]

Known Issues:

• DT2W can only be enabled and disabled using a kernel settings app for LOS14.1 based ROMs, for AOSP and CAF based ROMs the switch in the settings app should work if it is there.

• Incompatible with Boeffla Config app.

why isnt Boeflla config app compatible?

I believe it's an issue with the kernel version or a value I need to fix back to default.

Hmm.. It worked for me when I was modifying boeffla kernel for personal use. Ill take a look into your source once its up ?

I think I accidentally modified a few things I should have left in place, before I finish putting the source up I'll look and see if I can fix it.

So now it's Boeffla app compatible?

No, and won't be because this kernel has too many changes to work properly with the app. I apologize if this is inconvenient. It has been working fine with Kernel Adiutor all day for me though. :fingers-crossed:

 

[Nick80835]

Just uploaded an update, I added touchboost back, I removed Boeffla sound and Boeffla controls altogether. I basically refreshed the audio system, still based on PDesireAudio 10.0 due to issues with 10.1. The default IO readahead is now 128kb.

Edit: This kernel works with SuperSU and MagiskSU just fine. I've tested MagiskSU and it passes safetynet. SuperSU doesn't pass safetynet.

I'm working on adding LZ4 Fast compression/decompression to my kernel and I was wondering if anybody who may see this could help? Any tips or info are welcome, I'm trying to learn as much as possible.

You need to recover almost every part of Boeffla ramdisk.

You need to recover almost every part of Boeffla ramdisk.

I don't plan on doing that so I just removed it. The boeffla config app doesn't provide all the options and functionality that my kernel has so it's really bottlenecking it's array of options. The kernel works fine, flashes fine and builds fine as it is and I see no reason to hold it back in such a way. I based this kernel on Boeffla kernel for a good reason, compatibility with ROMs and his great AnyKernel implementation.

Then I assume things like swipe2awake are broken now?

Sadly, yes.

 

[aviraxp]

Sadly, yes.

Then remove Boeffla swipe2wake helper. I think it can be simply removed through reverts, or build your own kernel auditor with Boeffla implentations.

I thought I did remove it, where is it exactly?

Just uploaded a small update after a long testing period. It's safe to say it's stable for use! I fixed a couple bugs, removed zram compression (not used, a waste of space), removed a little bit of bloat and set some settings to their proper values.

would be helpful if you state update date in the title of thread

 

[Nick80835]

Uploaded a very tiny update, only change is the default GPU governor is now simple_ondemand

Hey at least implement pdesireaudio correctly

Well I don't feel like publicly saying **** about other's work (since the kernel is really good, awesome job man) but if you really want pdesireaudio working maybe you should pm me

Again nice work man, good kernel
