Oh god, why stop so soon? Just 4th build then you gonna give up on OOS FK support? :crying:
Bugs. Half of the people here came from another kernel and due to that WiFi is bugged for them, another half are witnessing continuous reboots that no one has been able to debug. Logs show nothing. Not only that, but OOS itself is pretty bad when it comes to this... Loading the WiFi driver as a module is incredibly insecure anyway. We want as much to be handled in the kernel image as possible as modules open holes for exploits.

That aside, I can't really see why someone would run it anymore as it isn't too great anyway. It's better than what most OEMs ship but it's nothing great. Having seen the number of **** ups in OPs kernel source, I can only imagine what the source code of OOS as a whole looks like.

Personally I highly suggest you try out Slim and wait on Franco to release with a new kernel based on Lineage sources. It's a solid ROM. Gesture handling is ****ed but it's not too big of a deal.

I can't speak on the part of Franco, but I know he put tons of time into getting this thing working right and that's commendable. Whatever decision he makes, I'm happy with. Great kernel and a great person behind it... Though I must admit that I miss maintaining my own. Less time spent on my part

Everything is working fine for me so far, I will stick with this until Franco releases something else for the OPX. I'm totally sold, I tried it on my N5 and it was great. Good job! Look forward to the next release

Marshmallow with OxygenOS is just a cluster****. I'm gonna stop working on it and focus 100% of my efforts on LineageOS. That way every rom will work and I'll stop worrying about **** breaking down for no reason. Sorry if you flashed FK on your stock device.
A very good decision in my opinion.

Nobody (maybe 5% of people on XDA) still use OOS, the rest have abandoned it and moved on to LOS and based ROMs.

This is what I meant by buggy :laugh:

You do not know how happy I was when I saw that you have released a kernel for my device. Unfortunately my device runs on RR which is LOS based ROM. Looking forward for an update for LOS based ROMs.

To be honest, I didn't face any bugs or anything on OOS 3.1.4 with r4. Thanks for the update!
Flashing it now, will let you know if any bugs are there :good:

Running ResurrectionRemix 5.8.2 with this Kernel, no issues yet. Surprisingly, when I flashed this Kernel I saw an extra "touchscreen gestures" in the gestures menu in settings which wasn't there when I flashed other kernels. Maybe it's because this Kernel is supported for LOS. Works like a charm for me right now. Great work! Thanks! :laugh::good:

Woah, there is some serious work going on here, amazing kernel dev!
The moment I flashed it, there was a very noticeable improvement in fluidity.
Overall, the best kernel I have seen so far.
Just keep the good work going on

Support for OxygenOS has been deprecated and removed. LineageOS support is now official.
It's sad to see that "one of the best" kernel devs have dropped their own kernel support for the stock based rom, which is "better" then custom roms on many parts.
I'm not flaming, just a bit disappointed also if I understand why you dropped support. OOS on opx sucks anyway and is barely outdated. So I understand, really, but still a bit disappointed ^^"
There are indian devs that still work on kernel for OOS. But anyway, good luck on the future, Franco :)

The r4 worked flawlessly for me at least. I'd be happy if Francisco still kept the link to the kernel so that others can use it if they want to, it's his choice to discontinue the support for the kernel, but the r4 worked flawlessly so I don't think so it'll need any other updates afaik.
