Note:

I personally don't own a Mi5s Plus, but only a Mi5s so I can't directly test builds.
Anyway Xiaomi msm8996 devices share source code, so there shouldn't be many differences between what I face on my device and what is faced on Mi5s Plus.

nice someone caring for our device

Appeared in the row of the second SIM although it is not.

Appeared in the second line SIM, although it is not. Need a solution. In the rest of the until good core. I test further.
P.s. If you put the SIM in the first slot, then all is well.

anyone tried this?

 

[kapa75]

Yes.
It works better than stock kernel IMO. smoother and better battery life. I've been using it for the past 3 days and it's stable.

i've tried installing it and it works now. Thank you

 

[Al-Tsaqib]

i've flashed this kernel on AEX rom
works like a charm. good for gaming too. FPS (framerate) stable at all condition while gaming no frame drop at all.

but network lil bit unstable then stock kernel (wifi n mobile data)
thank you sir 4 your hardwork
waiting 4 next update

someone tested on LOS 15.1?

 

[mustofal]

I have installed this kernel yesterday.
I think by using this kernel, when used, the battery feels more efficient, smooth performance.
but when the phone is in a state of stanby I think the battery endurance is the same as I use stock kernel.
by the way i am using rom aosp ex latest version android 8.1
