Development EOL - [KERNEL] [OOS] Omega Kernel OOS11 [September 18, 2021]

[rickysidhu_]

Hey I just had a random reboot and I've attached logs. I'm not sure if you support the regular OP9 in terms of troubleshooting but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

I was double tapping the screen to wake it and then that's when the reboot happened.

Don't know if this is the right forum to ask but asking anyway, has anyone experienced Whatsapp being the heaviest on battery? I have seen Whatsapp's background usage is always in hours whereas the active usage is just under 60 minutes. I am not a heavy Whatsapp user. I have tried looking over many articles all of them suggest clearing app data, reinstall or upgrade. Obviously those do not help any way.
I was wondering if there can be any tuning at the kernel level like Oneplus did with the throttling of certain apps.
This kernel has been my daily driver since I got my 9 pro, must say I can't imagine using the phone without this kernel. Battery life has improved a lot, I even play PUBG and the temperatures stay well under 35 38.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook so it will drain battery the same as the Facebook and messenger apps they are constantly scanning your device files and location in the background.

Yeah agreed. That's why I don't have Facebook, Instagram or even Messenger. But can't go without WhatsApp sadly.

I don't have this problem, because I use an app called Icebox to keep WhatsApp and a bunch of other apps frozen. I fire 'em up when I need 'em, and then freeze 'em again. The freezing can be configured to happen automatically whenever your screen switches off.

This is what I do too, and keeping all those battery-hungry apps frozen works wonders for battery life. But of course if they're frozen you don't get notifications (just a bonus for me), so it may not be ideal for a lot of people.

Any guide for install? For twrp need factory reset? Thanks

Use Franco Kernel Manager to manual install.

So something happened recently that caused my phone throw itself into a borderline bootloop with this kernel. Wifi is totally trashed and rebooting takes AGES. only flashing back to stock kernel remedies this.

In order for anyone to diagnose/fix the issue we need kernel logs from during boot. Without it we have no way of knowing what actually happened and cant really help.

Where am I looking at to pull the logs again?

Found em, hopefully this helps. It also turns out I can't flash any custom kernels in this forum without the same issues.

Will this kernel be updated to 11.2.9.9?

 

[kristofpetho]

Will this kernel be updated to 11.2.9.9?

If they would update sources...

 

[Avinash007]

If they would update sources...

But we can still use the kernel with the new update right?

No problem here....

 

[kristofpetho]

New kernel release!

Changelog:
- Pulled in patch from Google to make cpufreq stat collection less CPU-hungry (smoothness)
- Pulled in 3 Clang/LLVM stability fixes from upstream Linux
- Pulled in a patch for better power consumption when vibrations are enabled (from arter's source)

While this kernel works on latest 11.2.9.9, please note that OnePlus hasn't released sources yet for 11.2.9.9.

Enjoy!

Working great on the newest oxygen.

Hi @kristofpetho, lately (last few weeks) I've been having a random bug where a single press of the power button is being interpreted as a double tap, which is really annoying as it keeps opening the camera!

I've attached a dmesg of the issue - see around entries 5562-5567 for an occurrence.

This is a reasonably well-discussed issue, looking around - I don't know if it's crappy hardware on OnePlus' part, or shoddy button denouncing in software, but this is something that could be fixed at kernel level, right? Just reject all "presses" that are unreasonably close to the previous?

Thanks

This has been happening to me as well @samwhiteUK and I was able to Mitigate it temporarily (it seems to be coming back slowly) by disabling and re-enabling the Gesture (settings -> buttons & gestures -> Double Click the power button -> camera)

I am on Oxygen 11.2.8.8.LE15BA on my unlocked tmobile 9pro -- using omega 5.4.61

Would like to see this resolved as well

This can be fixed by increasing the required delay between presses, but idk if its kernel level or if its in a system file somewhere. If its in a file im sure a magisk module can be made to adjust that.
