This kernel is a joint collaboration between @joshuous and myself. Our primary goal is to deliver a fast, smooth and stable kernel with Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS). We have spent countless hours backporting, experimenting, tuning and improving our understanding of EAS in our kernels. We aim to keep our kernel slim on features, adding only what we believe is essential.

It is also our desire to initiate Development Discussions among the community. This will be a noob friendly thread as long as users follow two rules. First is to do some research before asking. Most likely your question has already been asked. If not in this thread then in another. Remember to always search first! Second is BE RESPECTFUL. You do these two things and even the most hardened Dev will assist you.


Features:
* Energy Aware Scheduler optimization/changes
* Upstreamed to 4.9.196
* Dynamic Stune Boost
* Wake Gestures
* KCAL Color Control
* Sound Control
* LED Control
* Min Back Light Control
* Wireguard
* Vibration Control
* USB Fast Charge

We recommend EX Kernel Manager/ Franco Kernel Manager for making kernel changes

Kernel Downloads:
Latest OOS-P Build

Please note:
Because of how Android Pie deals with the ramdisk, Magisk is now required to properly apply default kernel settings.

Instructions:
* Boot into Recovery
* (Recommended) Make a complete backup of everything! At least backup BOOT via TWRP
* If you're not coming from a completely clean ramdisk, please re-flash your rom.
* Flash kernel zip
* Reboot


Reporting Bugs (please read):
* Make sure you're not using any tweak apps (Greenify, Naptime, anything else related), otherwise no support will be given. If you have an issue, disable all your tweaks first and see if that fixes your problem. Otherwise, flash the stock kernel and see if you can reproduce it as well.
* If you previously flashed another kernel, make sure you dirty flashed the full ROM zip before flashing RenderZenith kernel.
* Logs! Please provide all logs via Syslog app from the Play Store.


THANKS!!!!
* The kind people who keep this project alive
* Everyone who supported us throughout our projects
* @joshuous for his partnership and collaboration with our current projects and many more to come. The future looks bright!

RenderZenith for OOS-P-OP6: V1.0.0 is here!!!

Things to note:
This is our initial release for the OP6/T and has all the normal RZ features you have come to expect. This release has taken a large amount of work, testing, reworking, retesting and so on but I feel that it is finally up to RZ standards.

Because of how well the kernel was performing, I was able to adjust the default settings to allow the big cores/cluster to idle longer. I was able to do this by disable touchboost, and only boosting small cores. This allows the big cores to not be needlessly boosted, thus waking them from idle/sleep.

Thank you very much. Following your work since G2 days. It is great to have you here and enjoy your quality work.
If you could support AOSP ROMs in a future, it would be even better. Best regards
I will be working on supporting the op6 custom scene as well. I am very happy with how the oos release has come. Testing Def shows a great improvement over stock kernel. I look forward to pushing it further a doing the same for custom roms.

Does this work on open beta or just stable?
Both though I highly recommend stable. There is some weird dequeuebuffer thrashing that consistently happens on open Beta. I recently went to stable and the difference is night and day. Testing had also shown a great improvement between stock kernels for OB and stable.

Alright thanks. Also should we be flashing magisk before or after the kernel, cause you didn't mention it in the instructions

Yea, I will make op clearer about this. You will need to flash Magisk before flashing RZ. I would recommend coming from a clean ramdisk as well. Otherwise other kernel scripts may interfere with RZ.

I hope op6t also:victory:
Well ofc. We are already supporting op6t because the kernel source is unified. ;)

You don't need to flash Magisk at all, if its already installed.
This is also correct. Still, I always keep a backup of the current rom Bootimg that I am on. This way I can restore to make sure the ramdisk is clean. One thing though is you will always be able to dirty flash RZ ontop of RZ unless told otherwise.
