Installed, phone is booting.
Too early for anything else. Thanks ?

 

[AMDFenics]

Phone booted, but wrote wrong vendor image. Also no sound and no video playback. Didn't test further. :/
Tested on lineage os 15.1

On AEX no problem so far.

Edit : Sorry its work

to bad, but thanks anyway.

 

[Oriwen]

First impressions - bit better standby drain than stock aex kernel, smooth, no problem with bt.

 

[Ger$$on]

It's me or with this kernel OIS is gone again?

 

[Tommmii]

so this is good on AEX6 ?

 

[Oriwen]

Thanks for update, works great.

 

[robert_b]

I'am on RR 6.2.1 on Zuk 2 pro. Want to move to AEX6. Think I need this kernel. Which is the right way to update?

install the rom, according to the instructions posted in the rom's thread.
when rom has installed, you can boot into that rom.
afterwards, if you desire, you can reboot into recovery and flash this kernel.

tried out kernel, wireguard works fine, basic governors been shown instead of schedutil governor, but no zen i/o scheduler

question: is it possible to include the mentioned scheduler back into kernel ? for now i try out the AEX PIE kernel completely before i step into other kernel (Grait Work btw!)

1. Schedutil is exclusive for EAS.
2. ZEN is outdated piece of, ugh, code. Use CFQ.
3. They won't be included "back" because they never were here in the first place and they aren't coming.

EAS is coming soon.

New update is live! Check second post for changelog

 

[Oriwen]

Thanks, will try asap. Just one curious question - is zRAM necessary since we have 6gigs available?

Yes, all OEMs ship with zram, even phones with 8gb ram. Android relies on zram for storing some rarely used data.
