KCAL support ? will be added anytime soon?

Actually we have live display driver, but will be added soon if its necssary.

live display driver ? never heard before but looks interesting ?
anyway ?? hoping for the best ?

 

[jigs4wkiller]

Actually we have live display driver, but will be added soon if its necssary.

Some devices (like mine) have extreme fast "burn in" and it's extremely helpful when I can calibrate the display manually.

KCAL is similarly with live display driver, but as i know only in Lineage rom

 

[NikhilCS]

Does this kernel thave the same bugs like other 4.9 kernels for mi a1?

 

[jigs4wkiller]

The same bugs? The one and only real bug? Maybe you should mention witch bugs you mean..

 

[khusika]

By using this kernel, you will break your tissot ?

 

[NikhilCS]

By using this kernel, you will break your tissot ?

I mean the battery percentage bug

 

[murtaza1326]

for me one bug solved

phone was heating while charging upto 100% before
yet it is not placebo i can confirm after i switched to this kernel
i charged upto 100% and yet no heating like before ?

 

[HULK2275]

Will this work with latest stock rom??

 

[AG14795]

Flashed the kernel on top of the latest LineageOS 16 with your reference kernel v4.9.140... Getting nice battery backup when in usage but facing a little battery drain when in idle... This battery drain when in idle wasn't this visible when I was using the reference kernel over the same build... Currently midway through a charge, will share the same when it gets complete...

 

[calvinadrienluis]

does this kernel support treble rom like pis Sgsi

 

[khusika]

Will this work with latest stock rom??

does this kernel support treble rom like pis Sgsi

Please read carefully, already mentioned in the OP

•NOTE: This kernel only supported for rom which is already build with kernel 4.9.

 

[Putra14]

Nice.

 

[Iceman66]

Flashed it over HAVOC 2.0 Pie ROM With 4.9 kernel, working smooth and without issues ?

 

[John Tan]

um..I charged my phone to 100% then I reboot and battery dropped to 89%
