[KERNEL] Radioactive Kernel [17/06/30] [LOS based roms]

[Bucatino]

1. Yes, every variant is supported.
2. Yes, f2fs is fully supported for data and cache and is also updated from the newest f2fs stable branch from google.

How can i change in f2fs? And what is pro and con?

First of all you should be warned, if you switch over to f2fs for the data you should now that all your files in the internal storage will be wiped, so first do a backup of all your stuff to a pc. To switch over to f2fs you need to select in the wipe section the option, change filesystem and then you choose f2fs and the partition will be formated. You need to do this twice, once for data and once for cache. And for the advantages etc. you can read this thread. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697069

Thanks i do It, now i think my axon 7 is fast when open apps.

Now what settings are you using in kernel settings? I use kernel audiutor app.

Yea right Kernel Adiutor should work fine.

The previous version of the kernel had the option to change screen settings (On Kernel Adiutor). Is there a way to enable it? Or was it removed permanently?

This version has it as well, nothing screen settings related was changed, are you sure the flash was correct and you are indeed running it?

 

[mothmanex]

Just checked and you are right. For some reason, it didn't flash through. I redownloaded it , and now is working great.

Finally made the switch to Radioactive Kernel. Flash worked without any issue. Phone feels faster and smoother - let's see how it further develops as I only just switched. Next step will be to switch to f2fs for system. A big thank you to @OrdenKrieger. I am on RR (0811 version, unofficial) and have a 2017G device.

EDIT after 1 night of having the Radioactive Kernel
I run PiHole at home to avoid all ads on all my devices. I was running at 35-40% of DNS Queries being related to ads and being prevented by PiHole, even during the night when no one was browsing the internet. The bulk of that came from my phone (when I was not home, the % of DNS Queries rejected by PiHole dropped to 0). Since installing Radioactive Kernel, it seems as if my phone were not at home, ie no more DNS Queries dropped. Fascinating. Could the previous kernel have been sending out DNS Queries all the time? Or maybe the sleep is deeper with Radioactive Kernel?

@OrdenKrieger would you be able to make a build with the safetynet patch built in? I'd love to run this without having to root and use magisk.

Is it ok to flash this over other custom kernel? I flashed Radioactive kernel over llama sweet kernel, and now the battery drain is noticeably worse.
I also formatted data and cache partitions to f2fs.
Edit : I am using RR.

Clearely not the best idea you had ...
If your only problem after this is just a battery drain you're quite lucky.
Hope you did a backup before this flash, otherwise flash the ROM over again. Last solution, factory reset and fresh install.

I've made a huge mistake. Didn't backup the rom. I'll just clean install the whole thing again.

General rule is never flash one custom kernel over another. Always revert to the default kernel or boot.img.
Sometimes restoring just the boot.img from a backup works but given that some kernels modify/change other things, a dirty flash of ROM is better.

So I flashed your kernel and it is really smooth and snappy. Great job! However I have no idea what to set as the CPU governor. Which one do you recommend for the best balance of performance and battery life? Or is the default one good enough?

I find that the impulse governor is better than interactive, both for performance and battery life.

Thanks for the awesome kernel @OrdenKrieger ! very smooth and great on the battery too! Also works well with AICP rom

I flashed it last night so I don't have any solid data on hand. But I "tested" elementalx, impulse and interactive (battery profile set to balanced for all) by scrolling up and down in a kernel monitoring app. ElementalX tends to lock the CPU MHz to a higher frequency than the other two. I take that as using more battery with screen on than the other two governors. Impulse and Interactive are pretty similar in this scrolling "test". I read that impulse is just interactive with more battery optimization so I chose that to test the standby drain last night. Standby drain overnight with Radioactive + Impulse is the same as interactive with stock LOS kernel on efficiency. I will stick with Impulse for a while and see

I've been using this kernel for a month with Lineageos.

It provides Great performance and battery life due to it's better governors and F2Fs.

However when I try to mount a loopback device formatted in FAT, my cell phone restarts.

It used to work perfectly with the LOS provided kernel.

Is this normal? Does it happen to anybody else?

Thanks, kind regards

Also no updates from OP in almost a year, just so you know. You might want to look elsewhere for a kernel.

Is there a port of this for the mini(tulip)?
