Great to see a new kernel for AOSP.
Wait for a long time.

Edit: not suitable for slimKAT 5.9 build. The device didn't boot and stick at the slim logo.

I know you've said it'll probably only work on AOSP ROMs.
But curiosity got the best of me and I tried it on PAC ROM, I'm guessing there'll be a lot more like me who would want to try this on various ROMs so i'll just keep adding the ROMs I've tried the kernel on and whether it booted or not.

PAC ROM (21-06 nightly) - Stuck at boot animation.
AOKP- Won't boot
Beanstalk- same as above



PS: I do not expect you to debug these or even reply to this.
Thanks for the kernel. :good:

 

[Tommy-Geenexus]

It works only on @pabx 4.4.4 AOSP builds, sorry.

I can't and won't add support for other roms, because then it becomes a mess again..

Try the AOSP build mentioned, it's running great

I recommend pabx aosp build. Will test your kernel

let me know how it goes

runs smooth.
encountered some problems while directly flashing the kernel, the Wifi didn't work, but after a clean install and flashing userdata.img it worked.
Phone is without a charger since last night and i still have 76% battery with my usage.

Yeah battery life is quite good, i'm surprised.

Lost 3% over 7h deep sleep, which is great for a aosp rom with the messy play services

Installed over kitkat(the one you mentioned) , and booted up but soft rebooted after "android starting apps" phase... gonna retry and see if i can get a log.

No need for a log, it works just fine ?!

Flash rom and gapps, reboot into OS.
Then flash the kernel.

didn't work , exactly what i did twice but no luck after "starting Apps" i get soft reboot and it just stuck on
boot animation,
Update: worked, after waiting on boot animation for a while , but and error which doesnt let me to interact
with os, com.android.process... stopped. so reverted back to pabx own kernel. any ideas ?

There should be no "optimizing apps" as it's not kernel related.

Did you clean install latest pabx aosp build?

yes clean install, wiped everything...before and after install, then booted into os installed some apps
after that rebooted into recovery for kernel installation.

Flash stock boot, rom and userdata.
Then reboot once and flash kernel.

Using it on @pabx AOSP.
Working very well, super smooth and great battery life.


One request, could you also try your hand at making a CM based kernel, we desperately need a battery friendly kernel for XZ.
Thanks a lot.

I could, yeah.

But:
-Stock CM is sluggish and i don't feel like building a kernel for it
-Thomas' CM is nice, already has a custom kernel included.

Also my time is limited atm, you can contact other devs of f.e. slimkat to adopt some of my changes, which i'll doubt will happen

Had a play with this one.
Not bad at all maybe pull in voltage adjustments?
I tend to cook my own from pabx with much lower voltages.
But this one is pretty decent

I'm quite unsure if i should lower some voltages.

It may introduce some problems for the unlucky ones having a lower binned chipset, plus makes games laggy.

Probably i'll add the (awesome) voltage control by morfic, as this kernel is intended to be in-line with Trinity.
