not yet, i'm getting my sources together. i'll probably release with 4.9.65 or later.

 

[eabrillos]

This is great. waiting..

 

[Nasty_z]

@freeza thanks for this kernel! Just one question, are there any plans to support aosp roms?

I'll definitely try this if I go back to stock

if aosp roms ever get stable enough i will definitely support them. I'm itching to get off of touchwiz myself, but would like more stability and less bugs before i make the jump.

I've been running the pixel experience 8.1 rom in this section for weeks without any issues. Perhaps you can try that? Works best with ARH5 vendor.

[tsoureki]

Great! Maybe a Snapdragon edition? ?

 

[jayden2009]

First custom kernel I think ??

 

[chrisaw]

boeffla wakelock blocker

Are you sure Boeffla wakelock blocker is built in or is this coming later? Doesn't show up as a menu option in MTweaks.

 

[ciaox]

Thanks for the Kernel! I noticed lag after 10seconds after reboot. Will this work with ARH6? Cleared dalvik and cache after kernel install.

 

[bober10113]

thanks will try on my n960n

 

[jayden2009]

BTW I do notice some more micro lag when opening apps not much but more then with stock kernel ??

 

[TheUndertaker21]

thanks for that

 

[Matrix_Usman]

I liked the kernel can i add in my rom? With proper credits and yeah loved to see you making first kernel in note9 section

It's still in the very early stages of completion. Also, it's based on RH7, once i'm done upstreaming, I will patch to RI9, which should get rid of "microlag"

BTW I do notice some more micro lag when opening apps not much but more then with stock kernel ??

see above
