[KERNEL][P9][8.0+] ECOKernel 2020

I don't know if they are compatible, just saying they are independent

Why not, you can always flash stock kernel back

where/how can i get my stock kernel? so i can prepare in case

Download by Firmware Finder FullOTA update.zip for exactly the same firmware name/number you are running.
Unzip update.zip to obtain update.app and use PC app Huawei Update Extractor to extract kernel (you can extract all partitions, ramdisk, recovery, etc)

Please don't ask here about FF or Extractor, search on XDA to find corresponding threads and instructions

This is about kernel for Oreo, search in the HWOTA7 thread for the kernel, there was my post few days ago with a link to extracted stock kernel, ramdisk, and recovery for AL10c00b535
By searching for kernel you should also find there older posts with b528 kernel

Happy to see this custom kernel for P9, great job :good:
Just a question: in the future, are there any possibilities to see this custom kernel also for P9 Plus?
Thank you in advance for the answer.
Regards.

Maybe?

Quick question, should I root my P9 (using RROS beta 3) or I can install the kernel without root access?
Thanks,
Andrey

Its possible, but you cant change settings without root.

Tested on OpenKirin LOS 15.1. Kernel works really good. Standby battery drain is minimal on this ROM. Thanks for this kernel @dkionline

Last question, what are the benefits for performance by using it without root access?

Thanks,
Andrey

There is any recommended config for ex kernel manager? cpu governor or io scheduler? i feel a bit sttuter vs stock kernel

I know it says android 8.0.+, but openkirin got a Android 9 Alpha for download. Is it possible to use it for the Android 9 Alpha? current security patch is September 5 and 1. Current Kernel is 4.4.23+ from september 17th. EMUI build before pie flash is b535 on emui 8.

Yes, works, no issues.

hmmn... For me after i flashed it, it didn't boot the system anymore, guess i'll have to skip the kernel for now.

Just tried it with OK OmniRom Pie Alpha, the phone boots properly.

I have a small problem since recently. I can't seem to change by Big Cluster CPU governor from interactive to anything in Kernel Auditor. It changes back to interactive no matter what I choose. And also, when trying to change CPU governor tunables it says interactive is not tunable.



I'm on P9 LOS 15.1, Magisk is also installed and B535 firmware.

Im on it. There are preconfig files in some parts, that blocking changes on kernel. On omni pie all works fine.
Next build will get some changes i test for now. Deepsleep is more than fine now.

I changed the kernel manager to EXKernel Manager and then it worked fine. But will be looking forward for the next build.

Although for b535 changing Governors work, I cannot change Min Freq (I choose 470 MHz but it always defaults to 807 MHz for big)

Btw, which Governors could be useful to save battery - mainly while screen locked.
Eg, Conservative for LITTLE?
