Hi , I have "system ui not responding" in android 11 and reverted back to android 10 and now does not have that issue anymore .Does kernel helps with this problem because I currently have omega of the older version running on Android 10 and the only reason stopping me from updating the kernel is because of this "system ui not responding" issue that was present in android 11 .Thank you ! Oh btw ,clearing cache and factory reset does not fix the problem .this issue is still present and can found searched in oneplus community forum .

New kernel release!

Changelog:
- Updated Clang to Google's latest
- Disable coresight clocks when not used (better battery drain)
- Pulled back the two fixes for network driver that previously fixed random reboots (apologies, don't know how I didn't have those in latest...)

Enjoy!!!

And with that, unless something big comes up, this might be my last kernel for the 8 Pro, since I'm now rocking a 9 Pro...

Have you ran your kernel on LOS18? Was curious after I saw one of your posts in there.

Will miss you - been using your kernel since the 8pro came out.

Hope the 9pro works for you, as some have sold or traded it and others avoided it. Most of the discussion has been in telegrams and not XDA.

Thanks. First two ROMs were basically beta, and it's sad that major tech reviewers got to test those versions. The latest ROM is already top notch and it definitely makes it a better device.

    Introduction

    Hello everyone, this is my personal kernel for the OnePlus 8 Pro, will use it as my daily driver as soon as I get the device! (hopefully very early next week)
    My philosophy on the kernel is pretty simple, intended to replace the stock kernel, but with a lot of under-the-hood tweaks.

    Hopefully you will all enjoy!

    Important thread information!

    I refuse to acknowledge/respond to bug reports that do not include clear steps to reproduce, a logcat, and a console ramoops (if random rebooting) or a dmesg (any other issues). Follow this guide to do this.
    Keep things civil, no flaming in the forums!

    Features

    • Up to date with OxygenOS 11 source
    • Compiled with Google's Clang toolchain for maximum stability, with all warnings and errors fixed
    • Compiled with Clang's cortex-a55 optimizations
    • Many tweaks under the hood for smoother UX, lower battery drain, etc.
    • Westwood as the default congestion algorithm
    • Includes WireGuard
    • Includes KCAL support
    • Available to flash with AnyKernel3

    - Pulled in latest Oneplus kernel source for OOS 11.0.1.1

    New kernel in Post 2!

    Changelog:
    - Clang compiler optimization from CAF, as well as subsequent code fixes to go with it
    - Updated Wireguard to latest 0520 version
    - Updated Anykernel3 to latest
    - Remove some annoying UFS dmesg spam
    - Remove one more resource hog debugger from the graphics render hot path

    This should give a nice speed boost as well for screen on :)

    I won't post new kernels for a few days, my new components are arriving today, so will take time to redo my build system.
    In case anyone is wondering:
    - ASUS TUF B450 Pro Gaming (I had a previous ASUS TUF Z170 Pro Gaming, which I loved!)
    - AMD Ryzen 3600 (6 cores, 12 threads -> should be a nice upgrade from my current i5-6500, which only has 4 cores, 4 threads)
    - I already had 32Gb DDR4 RAM in the system, that is not changing
    25
    OK guys, I'm back. New Ryzen system is up and running, and building a kernel now only takes 3.5 minutes!!! Previsouly it was 11-12... DAMN impressed.

    New kernel here, since there were no source updates in latest kernel push from OnePlus: https://github.com/kristofpetho/kernel_oneplus_sm8250/releases

    Changelog:
    - Updated Clang to 11.0.4 (Google)
    - Reverted to using userspace WLAN and rmnet drivers to fix remaining VoWiFi issues

    Enjoy!
