Dear folks, today I'm presenting my very own custom-kernel for the Galaxy A5 and A7 2017!
This kernel provides many features and changes for everyone!.




NOTE
This kernel is only for lineage(-based) and AOSP-based ROMs! Using it on non-AOSP ROMs (e.g. Stock-ROMs) will NOT work!
To change settings, it's recommended to use HkTweaks by @corsicanu because it is made especially for 7880 devices. Other apps like kernel adiutor or Mtweaks do work too, but some settings may not be available.



DISCLAIMER
Code:
Im [COLOR="red"]NOT[/COLOR] responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards or any damage done to your device.[/CENTER]



Compatibility
This kernel is compatible to all variations of A5 2017 and A7 2017.
Only A520F is tested as I have this device.



Features
  • CRC control
  • Frandom
  • TCP algorithms
  • UKSM (Ultra kernel samepage merging)
  • ARCH power
  • Charging with up to 2A
  • CPU and GPU voltage control
  • GPU underclock/overclock
  • Configurable wakelocks
  • Wireguard
  • Dynamic Fsync
  • Lots of CPU governors
  • Lots of I/O schedulers
  • Powersuspend
  • Boeffla wakelock blocker
  • Zen-tune
  • and more


Installation
  • Make sure to have the latest version of TWRP, Orangefox or SHRP installed
  • Boot to TWRP
  • Make a backup of your current boot partition (in case something goes wrong)
  • Flash the installer zip
  • Optionally, flash magisk or any other mod right after.
  • Reboot



Downloads
Downloads moved to post #2.
Changelogs moved to post #3.



Credits
  • Thanks to @Option58 for the work on the official lineage sources for our device. Custom-kernels wouldn't be possible without him!
  • Also thanks to @corsicanu because I integrated some of hadesKernel's features into this kernel.
  • Thanks to everyone who worked on the features that this kernel contains.

UPDATE

v1.4-1: Google Drive | Androidfilehost

NOTE: Only use v1.4-1 on LineageOS and crDroid. Using v1.4-1 on e.g. PixelExperience will break it due to it not being updated to the latest kernel version.

Changelog
  • Updated to latest A720S kernel (NOTE: Only use v1.4-1 on LineageOS and crDroid. For PixelExperience, etc use v1.4)
  • Enabled LZ4 ZRAM compression
  • Included Lineage's FB notifier fix (Will allow to disable the touchscreen in e.g. Phone calls)
