[KERNEL] SmurfKernel 2.0.78 [GPU OC / UC] [OOS / CUSTOM UNIFIED][4.9.191]

OnePlus 6 / Oneplus 6T​

Youtube review of Kernel and Avengers theme by @hypergamer1231


Concept

Flash and be happy out of the box!
The kernel provides 4 Spectrum profiles and 3 Franco Kernel Manager profiles (Pie only) for most usecases. Balanced (default) / Battery / Performance / Gaming. For choosing another profile as Balanced please install Spectrum from the Google PlayStore.
If you want to modify the profiles just run a kernelmanager like EX Kernelmanager and change what you want.

First completely unified kernel for the OnePlus 6/6T OOS and Custom ROMs
One unified zImage!!!

To preconfigure the kernel uses a config file made by well known Senior member @xXx
These are the tunables you could modify:

Defaults in [ ]
Profiles battery, balanced, [performance], gaming
SELinux [permissive] / enforced
CPU minimum frequency [300], 403, 480, 576
GPU minimum frequency 180, [257], 342
GPU Input boost off 257 [342]
GPU maximum frequency up to 842 MHz (comes with 710 stock frequenccy set!)
Flickerfree display mod by @Devries (ImageBreaker kernel OP6T), default is off
Governor setting [pixel_smurfutil] or smurfutil_flex

The SmurfKernel configuration file is placed in /sdcard/SmurfKernel: If you want to use the kernel with it's default configuration just flash it!!! For custom changes please edit the SmurfKernelConfigurationEditor by @tanish2k09. The settings are applied saving the config. Your actual configuration is written to smurf.kernel.bootlog.

It's recommended to use my kernel paired with

Information about Klapse Livedisplay

Governor
pixel_smurfutil
smurfutil_flex
Pixel_smurfutil is a mix between Pixel 3 schedutil, helix_schedutil and electrotuil. Next frequency selection is load based and in suspend all cores are forced to a lower frequency max level. Three big cores are forced to operate at minimum frequency (825 MHz). One big core could clock up to general maximum, 1300 MHz). In normal operation load based frequency selection is used.

Thank you very much! Feel free to check the additional updated governors for errors. And for sure use these if you want.

Welcome to OP6 , it is good to see new developers

Great work, these new gov seems interesting :laugh:

Thx, know governors, not my work, but updated by me to work with 4.9.x source.

Lemme try this tiny blue kernel

Good work tho

Thank you! :good:

What's the difference between the usual schedutil and helix_schedutil?

 

[pappschlumpf]

What's the difference between the usual schedutil and helix_schedutil?

The difference between all 4 governors is the way how next frequency is selected. Electroutil and pwrutilx are ramping flatter if the device is suspended. Electroutil is cutting max frequency if device is suspended. Check governor settings, you could adjust it. Helix is ramping frequencies different based on load scenario. Lower load, flatter ramp. More battery friendly in my opinion.
For future versions i'll mix a new governor that combines these concepts.

I am really impressed by the kernel, my phone is flying right now! Thank you!

Tested on the dp2? Thanks

What program do I need to manage the Kernel options in OnePlus 6?

Thanks!

You can use Kernel Adiutor or EX Kernel Manager

Ok, I really need good battery life so I'll go ahead and choose Helix. Thanks

@ pappschlumpf

Welcome & thank you.

 

[hurray]

@pappschlumpf: Thank you for your kernel! I am trying it since about 12 hours. But I have two questions:
1. How can I adjust the "vibration control"? I can't find anything related to "vibration" in Kernel Adiutor
2. I found a setting in Kernel Adiutor under "Misc" which is named "Software CRC control". What does this setting? I can't get the feature behind the setting from the description itself in Kernel Adiutor. Is it a new feature or something that is only deactivated in your kernel?

With Adiutor you dan't have all options. EX Kernel Manager recommended. The plan is to include Synapse support, like i have in in my Note 8 kernel. But that needs some time. There're many options in the OP6 kernel that the Note 8 kernel isn't supporting.
CRC Control disables the crc check for internal memory access. Faster, but well memory errors wouldn't be detected.
It's not a new feature, most kernels for the OP6 support it.

Thank you for your fast answer. So I will have a look at the Ex kernel manager.

The CRC control is a feature which I didn't see in the other kernels I tried. Maybe they are there but not controllable. That's something I can't see.

To make it clear for me: I see the CRC control as disabled (this is the untouched status directly after flashing the kernel). Is this correct or should be the CRC control activated by default?

Yes, faster option, disabled is default. If your memory is working as expected crc is not needed. On an old device with defect mem you may need it
