Forgot to add back the rest of the schedulers. I'll do that later.
For now only noop deadline and cfq are available.
Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for reporting.
Phantom Kernel version 2.11.3 was compiled and uploaded again because of missing I/O schedulers issue. It is available for download now.
Please download and flash it again.
PS: I didn't change version number, so i recommend deleting the previous kernel zip file before downloading the new one, to prevent confusion.

If you get a boot loops, please send logs and post more details like ROM, kernel settings, scripts you are using, Magisk version and modules, etc.
Language.
We all appreciate developers work and respect their time. But, one should mind their language instead of blasting. The attitude used by the developer is very goon type. You are more into accepting donations and self praise, as to your links, after your so called pop-ups and ads, when finally someone reaches download link, CONNECTION RESET message pop ups. Great and next thing we know, wait more 180 minutes.
I had tried and faced this issue the day you posted your pop-ups and ads way of leading to download links, but never complained just for the reason, time and effort put by all the developers.
But this reply of your to a member, shows arrogance, self-promotion and stubbornness; made me to respond.

First of all, I didn't even want to reply to this, but out of common sense I will...
You say "we all appreciate...", who's we?! Then you act like you know me and say that I'm a "goon" because of my language and attitude.
You account is recently created and has 15 posts, really?! Trolling much?
After you complain about the download links and you say that I put pop-ups on them. No I didn't. The files are not hosted by me, they are on file storage servers that have pop-ups.
Then you accuse me of having projects that require donations, witch again, if you known my work not only for the Note 8 but also for the Note 3, you have known that for the past 4 years I improved and hosted all files for free, no ads, no pop-ups. This was done as so initially because the domain I own was life-time purchased and my hosting was free, but last year this has changed and I was obligated to pay yearly for the domain and hosting. So I had to change the hosting provider and of course to pay for the domain. So if you say that you appreciate my work and want to help, then yes, donations are welcomed, but the donations that I got over these past years didn't covered these costs. They helped of course. Let's not take in consideration the fact that I changed 2 SSD and 1 HDD, before I had to buy another PC because the other broke down. This did mostly happened because of repeated compiling witch do lots of writes on HDD/SSD and of course stress CPUs to generate a lot of heat, witch you probably know it's bad.
Like I said, I'm sorry that there are some issues when downloading, but if you have a bit of patience then you can download the files ok.
If you understood what I've said, then it's fine... if you didn't, it's also fine. Let's not forget nobody is forcing you to use this kernel.
Cheers!
Can anyone please share your official android pie's /system/fonts (total fonts folder) with me . I need that.
Use Synapse. Latest version of PK has different CPU limit nodes in sysfs so apps like Mtweaks, won't recognise the path.

Nitroflare is too bad that it usually hangs up at the middle of download and fails. And the funny thing is, if you try downloading again, it makes you wait for 3 hours... Horrible.
Edit: Before people start to tell me that I should donate, yes, I know. I should donate but PayPal isn't available in my country. Thus, unfortunately I can't donate even if I wanted to.

I am using it with latest deluxe rom on my note 8 fd
the only issue i faced is facebook messenger is sluggish
but when i use high performance profile everything is solved with real high performance
---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------
I had the same issue
it was really bad experience with nitroflare
but nothing I can do
just be patient
Missing external tpuch screen driver for ILITEK-TP screen using it with dex. Thanks. And also changeable zswap size
ZSwap sizeable feature is only available for older (unstable) 2.10.1 version.
The missing driver i'm not sure, but I don't use Dex. I'll take a look though... Can you give me more details on this issue?

On external touch screen display touch does not work. Its a driver problem. Ask a2n kernel dev for s8 he had the same problem. That is the driver which is reconized by windows
Is it possible to get a download link where you do not go insane as the website is a complete cesspool??

* Brief ideology of this kernel *
This kernel, if you plan on using it out-of-the-box it is battery life oriented, but also with a few tweaks to be fast and stable, just to give best daily usage results. The best part of it is that you can tweak it how you please depending on how far you want to go. You can choose over clocking CPU or/and GPU to get really good benchmark results, apply tweaks to get the best battery life/performance with low-end and high-end gaming or just to save even more battery, your choice. All this by using simple applications like Spectrum, a bit more complex ones, like Synapse or choose an even more advance way with shell scripts / terminal.
As the project evolves more features will be added, even as requests if properly motivated.
Before releasing an update, i'll make sure that it's properly tested so that you wont get bricked devices. This usually takes a lot of time, so please be patient. If some features are considered unstable they will be marked as experimental.

- GPU OC possibility to 683 mhz
- GPU OC without CPU frequency restrictions
- Spectrum profile "Gaming" OC-ed at 2.7Ghz / 572 mhz
(No support will be given if something goes wrong while using the NFS versions! AND don't blame me if you burn something.)

Last Updated 2019-01-0127FAQ:
Q: How to flash kernel?
A: Download (download link in first post) and flash the zip file from TWRP Recovery. Wiping dalvik cache and cache when coming from other kernels is highly recommended.
Q: Phone is stuck with a black screen after I wiped dalvik cache and/or cache. After I waited a while it just rebooted. Is that a bug?
A: This is not a bug it's actually a feature. This is normal because the kernel startup script checks the dalvik cache to be created correctly. If it wasn't created correctly it checks again after 1 min, just to be sure, this is why you have a black screen. Don't force reboot, just wait! If Dalvik cache isn't still created correctly after 1 min, it will reboot and create Dalvik again, it will keep doing this until everything is ok. This can happen even 3 times upon boot. If more than 3 reboots happen then you have a ROM issue.
Q: How to configure the Kernel?
A: Easy way is with Spectrum app from Google Play Store. Synapse for more advanced users. Init.d scripts or Terminal/SManager or similar apps, for experts.
Q: I have issues with notifications, slow notifications while screen is off?
A: Disable battery app optimization for Google Play Services.
Q: YouTube videos are not playing, why? / Why am I getting random reboots (if using 99killer script)?
A: Remove the /system/etc/init.d/99killer script and reboot.
Q: Why not start with version 1.0 ?!
A: Because versions 1.0-1.3 were not released to the public and were tested in private by a group of dedicated people.
Q: What is NFS version?
A: Need for Speed version of the Phantom Kernel - higher and unsafe OC of CPU & GPU possibility. Only for Oreo versions.
Q:What is Smart Screen Dimming - SSD version?
A:It's a slightly modified version of this:
https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/amoled-pwm-s7-edge-t3517739
Q: I had a freeze/random reboot after I changed settings in Synapse, what can be the cause?
A: It can be a lot of things, but mostly an incompatibility in your chosen settings, if it's kernel related at all. The most known common things that are the cause of this can be Exynos-CPU-hotpluger (disable it), LMK parameters for Oreo version only (reset to defaults) or Doze settings (use stock). If any of these doesn't get rid of the reboots try resetting Synapse and wipe cache and dalvik cache. You can always post logs or details of your issue, to get help.
Q: After each boot i get my screen locked after a brief moment of using my phone and my phone vibrates 3 times, is this a bug?
A: This isn't a bug. The locking of the screen it's a workaround i added, to eliminate a bug where GPU utilization get's stuck. This will remain until i find a better way to solve this. There 3 vibrations is from the PK boot script telling you it has finished execution.
Q: Bixbi button remapper isn't working with Bixby button, how can I fix it?
A: Install Synapse and enable Android logging. (Thanks to @AiRMaX-360 for finding this fix).
Q: What is KernelSU - superuser module and how to get root access without Magisk?
A: Here you can find KernelSU project. This module can be used if root access is needed without Magisk. To get root access you need to create an empty file into /sdcard/Phantom-Kernel/ folder with the name "PK.su" and reboot. Remove the file and reboot to revoke root access.
PS:
* NOT all apps will work with it.
** This also has no app that control access so don't leave it always enabled!
*** If Magisk or other su is found, then that root access method will be used.25Ver. 2.11.6 Changelog:
