Been using this kernel for awhile, and though we have many good options out there (RZ, blu, and the countless custom kernels in the roms we flash daily), I find that π has the best handle on boosting the smaller cores. I also think the input / touch response time is noticeably smoother on this kernel.

TBH it's not the one I'm running right now, but I'll probably be back to π when the next release is posted.

Go to the telegram channel if you need immediate support. I've only tested on stable 9.0.1.

This is the best kernel for the op5

So you got new op5t?

Got one of a friend who bought the OP6.
So yes!

Hey this kernel has grown tremendously since I started testing it on TG. I used to think this was a "good", not "great", but I wasn't letting it settle. It seriously takes about a good 15 minutes for things to just feel right. If you gave up on this kernel before, try it again, you will not be disappointed in it's reliability.

Thanks and good advice!

OP San, it might be placebo but when I turn on enable_prediction to 1 in the country governor options, I seem to get better performance. This seems to only benefit the little cores, when I enabled it on the big cores I started to suffer a lot of stuttering.

Why is this setting netting me performance? Is it off by default for a major reason?

I think as long as I'm on oos, I can't leave π kernel for now. To my use, this is the best one I can find right now. Huge thanks to the Dev for bringing this kernel to 5T.
