[KERNEL] OnePlus Nord ElementalX

[lekiaM]

@flar2 still rocking your kernel on my Nord!

You still supporting? (hopefully)

And by the way, another update of OxygenOS 11.1.8.8 came out recently.

I also downloaded this update 11.1.8.8. today. I don't know what it is, security? Bugs fixes? It wasn't a big update about 50MB.

Yea as usual OP nevermind a specific changelog.

V2.05 (latest) works with latest update by the way. I only hope @flar2 is still supporting, since latest kernel is going to be a bit outdated.

I personally don't mind if the NFC not working or Hotspot, only mind the kernel update

 

[flar2]

There hasn't been any new source from OnePlus yet

Can I flash this kernel on custom rom running on Android 12?
Thanks!

 

[lekiaM]

Nope

 

[ajaygrylls]

@flar2 bro please release Android 12 version. Please bro...

 

[flar2]

@flar2 bro please release Android 12 version. Please bro...

Did OnePlus release source code yet?

 

[ajaygrylls]

Did OnePlus release source code yet?

Not sure sir. Could you find out and please build if they had released? I'm eager to use the EX kernel manager at its full potential.

 

[ajaygrylls]

[dabyd64]

I know how it feels being a developer myself for other stuff, people begging and complaining everywhere... It's tiresome!

Just let me politely ask you if you're planning to update your kernel to android 11.
NFC is really important for me so I can't use EviraKernel.

I recently got this device second-hand to replace my suddenly broken Mate 20 pro.
Came with Android 12, performance was absolute crap, slow as hell, draining the battery in no time, phone was always hot with normal use (whatsapp/browsing).
So I downgraded to android 10, used it for few weeks, performance was much better but had plenty of bugs related to data connection , ex. Whatsapp stalling, not receiving or sendings messages, definitely not ok.
Then upgraded to android 11, everything is working smoothly, I'm happy with it.
I always fully erased the phone between updates to ensure a clean system.

So from my point of view, Android 11 is the sweet one for this device, I wouldn't bother with Android 12, at least for now.

The only thing really keeping it from perfection is the screen, it has crazy contrast levels, anything slighly dark is almost black, while brighter areas are like sunlight, also the minimum brightness is too bright, current screen options are not enough to fix this.
I never had this issue in other phones, it's impossible to use it at night without getting headaches, having your kernel screen settings adjustment, would be just perfect.

I will probably update the kernel for Android 12. However, it is lower on my priority list, as only 21 people have EX Kernel Manager installed on this device and it will take me a few days of work to figure out the absolute mess of the OnePlus kernel source.

 

[dabyd64]

Haha I'm pretty sure more people have it...I bought EX ages ago for my Xiaomi Mi5s, but why install EX if it not running a custom kernel, and why install a kernel that doesn't work on the only Android version that runs well? 10 and 12 are terrible.

Maybe try making a survey, so the users can vote, you'll get an idea of the interest.

Edit: Nevermind. Oneplus released broken kernel sources and not fixing it. Shame on them. Yeah, why bother then ... Running away from OnePlus!

Did someone confirm the kernel source is broken? Or is it just a huge confusing mess? It looks like hours, possibly days, of work before you could even attempt to build it.

 

[dabyd64]

At least the NFC is broken, anf they've ignored it for a year now.
