I've noticed on r20a5 autorotate is straight up bad. Like not just slow, but sometimes doesn't work when it clearly should. R12 has the fastest autorotate I've ever experienced, but even the other alphas had autorotate working fine.

I have also just discovered that Amazon prime video works even less well than Netflix. I've tried all the recent versions, all of them would crash at some point interacting with prime video, rather than just r12 crashing on Netflix. Has this happened to anyone else

Prime Video works fine for me on r12. Perhaps your problem is not kernel-related?

Any suggestions of what might be wrong? Also, on r12, how does Netflix run for you? For me it's an instant crash after half an hour of general phone use, across 2 different ROMs. On other kernel versions I do not experience this at all. Prime however goes into a reboot at maybe the 40 minute mark consistently across all arter versions.

r20a7 is up, and it's a different kind of a testing build.
The RAM is deliberately limited to 6 GB to test the kernel under more severe memory pressure.

r20 should be able to cope with extreme memory pressure.
Multitasking should be somewhat poorer compared to previous releases (obviously), but the key point of this alpha build is to ensure no severe lag appears even under extreme memory pressure.

Compared to a6, simple LMK is hooked up to MGLRU as well to cope better with OOM scenarios.

I expect r20a7 to be a bit slower and multitasking to be a bit more limited, but totally usable nontheless.
If you want to accelerate r20 release, please join in and test r20a7.

Thanks.

Thanks to some super active testers, I was able to look for what I wanted in r20a7.

r20b1 is up as a first beta release for r20.
The memory limit obviously is removed now.

This version also adds vibration control by flar2, used by other kernels and ROMs.

If all goes well, I'm planning to mark r20 stable soon.

Just wanted to update and apologize, my bug had nothing to do with the kernel, it's a ROM issue. I had been tinkering with different versions of kernels once when I started using prime and put 2 and 2 together. Should have checked before leaping to conclusions. V sorry

Sorry, no idea. And I don't have Netflix, so can't say anything about that. But I don't think I've watched Prime for 40 minutes at a stretch. Will test that and let you know.

    New beta release is up: r21b2.

    A few minor bugs have been fixed, but the new major change is the removal of BFQ in favor of Samsung's SSG I/O scheduler.

    Qualcomm has been using BFQ I/O scheduler for a while now, but its code complexity is quite huge, reaching 10K lines of code.
    This unfortunately, translates to more CPU overhead.

    With r21b1, BFQ is removed in favor of Samsung's in-house I/O scheduler: SSG.

    SSG is simple enough (only 1.1K lines of code) while still having some Android-specific optimizations such as background/foreground separation.

    I/O scheduler is a very complicated topic and synthetic benchmarks will not be able to capture the practical effects of one, hence the beta release.
    If you notice anything outside of ordinary (e.g., game stuttering, music dropping out, or major lags when updating apps from Google Play compared to r20), please report back.

    If all turns out fine, we can expect some battery improvements.

    r21b1 had the background profile set incorrectly. Please update.

    r20b2 is up and I'm hoping it's the last beta for the r20 series.

    Some new CAF tag merges, LRNG v45 merge, v5.4.197 merge, latest f2fs merge, etc.

    Notable change perhaps is the removal of zram writeback.
    zram writeback was enabled to offload parts of memory to the UFS when it's unused for a long time, but it seems that it can contribute to lags overtime.

    It's been disabled for now.

    I'm on OnePlus 9 Pro unlocked from OnePlus. I am running latest version of this kernel on top of Derpfest custom ROM. Derp is not being maintained any longer.
    I played Diablo this morning for like three hours straight without a single issue. I use some magisk modules like universal GMS doze but not sure if it will make a difference for heat.
    I recommend getting all your MSM tool setup with drivers installed where your PC can see your phone in Fastboot and adb if you plan on going the custom route, that way if something goes wrong you can restore your device.
    Me personally, this phone has been pretty incredible besides a few issues like not recognizing my DAC.
    The phone does get warm, but I haven't had any issues with it overheating. I really have enjoyed the Diablo immortal so far.
    I would definitely recommend this kernel though after you make backups to the three partitions for A & B slots which would be six partitions total backed up. That way if you need to go back, you can restore.
    I hope this can help, I don't want to clutter the thread, but just wanted to tell you that for me, I wouldn't go back for nothing. We are really fortunate to have such talented devs sharing their work making LemonadeP_#1.

    /* Details */

    - Fully rebased kernel without unnecessary OnePlus code -


    This kernel is not based on the stock OxygenOS kernel source provided by OnePlus. Instead, it’s based on the latest and greatest Qualcomm has to offer. Only the necessary parts from the OnePlus kernel have been cherry-picked, such as OnePlus 9 specific device drivers.

    This effectively kills all kernel modifications/optimizations from OnePlus, including the infamous app throttler.
    Due to the completely different base, this kernel will behave drastically different from other kernels, in both good and bad ways.


    - Power optimizations -


    This kernel makes some conscious decisions for reducing power consumption.

    First, the stock OnePlus configuration forces display-related processes to use the big cores exclusively.
    This configuration brings a huge power regression since it makes every frame dispatch to wake up and use the power-hungry cores.

    This kernel resets this profile to use the configuration Google recommends, which is to use the LITTLE cores exclusively instead. (Reverted in r2 as it seems like that little cores aren't enough to drive 120 Hz fluidly.)
    This kernel allows these processes to use little and middle cores (0-6), depending on the load.

    Second, this kernel disables wakelocks upon Wi-Fi’s RX unicast packet transmissions. qcom_rx_wakelock is one of the major culprits to increased idle power consumption. Although its total wakelock time is quite low, it's catched very frequently and prevents the system from entering suspend repeatedly.

    As dropping unicast or local ARP packets doesn’t pose practical issues on Android, this kernel disables qcom_rx_wakelock.

    Third, this kernel reduces the duration of the Bluetooth ISR wakelock from 2 seconds to 100ms. This was done from an observation that the average userspace response time from ISR is less than 10ms.
    My kernels have been doing this for years and no Bluetooth-related issues were reported.

    Fourth, the vibrator driver used in this kernel no longer controls the cpuidle driver. The stock kernel disables the cpuidle whenever the vibrator is used. This kernel disables it as the vibrator is not that sensitive to deadline misses.

    There are other small improvements throughout the kernel tree as well.


    - Memory management optimizations -


    This kernel marks the first Linux v5.4 based Android kernel to have MGLRU backported.

    MGLRU is a big deal in everything Linux related, especially for Android.
    Esper have a great article on what is MGLRU in a nutshell: https://blog.esper.io/android-dessert-bites-22-linux-memory-management-38419756/

    TL;DR:
    According to Google’s fleetwide profiling, multi-generational LRU yields an “overall 40% decrease in kswapd [the kernel daemon that manages virtual memory] CPU usage,” an “85% decrease in the number of low-memory kills at the 75th percentile,” and an “18% decrease in app launch times at the 50th percentile.”
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    This kernel also disables LMKD and uses an in-kernel solution called SimpleLMK, made by kerneltoast. You can track how often SimpleLMK kicks in by monitoring:
    Code: 
    /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/lmk_count

    This kernel also changes a lot related to swap and zram.

    The swap-related code has been backported from Linux v5.9 (link1, link2) to efficiently support fast swap device and allow swappiness over 100. This kernel currently sets swappiness to 160 on < 6GB of RAM, 120 on 8GB and 90 on 12GB.

    zram has been also backported from mainline Linux and further tweaked to use block device writeback. This is equivalent to the recent “RAM Plus” feature that companies have been marketing that uses the internal storage to extend RAM.

    This kernel uses zram writeback to offload idle pages (i.e., really, really unused RAM) to the internal storage. As it's extremely slow to bring pages back from UFS, writeback code works quite conservatively. It'll start to writeback pages that haven't been used for a day or two. It makes use of the hidden 2GB “last_parti” partition from the UFS storage.

    Along with zram writeback,     this kernel also enables deduplication with xxHash. Each page stored in zram is checked for deduplication to further save memory. With these 2 features combined, RAM reaching 1GB is additionally saved, but your mileage may vary.

    zram writeback is temporarily disabled to avoid lags on long uptime with r20.

    The post boot script used in the stock ROM is also overridden and it sets the readahead to 128KB. As I/O workload under Android is mostly random, high readahead doesn’t help and only increases memory thrashing.

    This kernel also incorporates a lot of patches to reduce/optimize memory allocations used throughout the entire kernel.

    mmap/mremap code was also backported from Linux v5.10 to optimize ART (see here for more info).


    - Latest subsystems -


    This kernel backports the SELinux subsystem from mainline Linux. This includes caching improvements that drastically reduces time spent on lookups. 10K lines of code has been changed.

    This kernel also backports f2fs (Flash-Friendly File System) from mainline Linux. This includes bug fixes and performance improvements such as shorter discard latency, more optimized GC logic for Android, and checkpoint merging.

    BFQ I/O scheduler has also been backported from mainline Linux for better I/O performance.


    - LRNG -


    This kernel ditches the traditional RNG driver from the Linux kernel in favor of LRNG. See here and here for more info.

    A rudimentary throughput benchmark shows an improvement of 10.5% (keep in mind that this is only one aspect of an RNG metric).


    /* Notice */

    OxygenOS 12 is unsupported.
    Non-OxygenOS custom ROMs are supported, but your mileage may vary wildly. Most notably, gesture orientations on some ROMs may be inverted.
    Custom ROMs that uses OxygenOS 12 kernel, including LineageOS 19.1, are not supported.

    This kernel touches vendor_boot and dtbo partitions, meaning you'd need to restore said partitions whenever you're switching to another kernel or stock.
    Please make a back-up of these partitions. The installer doesn’t do this automatically for you. Installing the stock ROM with a full OTA restores said partitions as well.

    /* Disclaimer */

    Your warranty is now void.
    I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
    thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
    do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this kernel
    before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
    you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

    A major new testing release is up.

    Changes made in this round is big enough that I've decided to name it r20.

    While the build has been stable for me, I'm marking this an alpha as a lot changed.

    r20a1 marks the first Linux v5.4 based kernel to have MGLRU backported.

    MGLRU is a big deal in everything Linux related, especially for Android.
    Esper have a great article on what is MGLRU in a nutshell: https://blog.esper.io/android-dessert-bites-22-linux-memory-management-38419756/

    Personally, I've noticed a sharp decrease in swap usage and improvements in general performance.

    Besides MGLRU, there are other numerous patches that are worth noting.

    I've brought back updated arm64 routines that were once tried in a beta release but removed later due to random kernel panics (mostly notable from Netflix). The mainline Linux kernel have gotten new updates since then, so r20a1 includes that.
    Also, some memory patches made by Sultan are also picked, and I've confirmed that those also help improving responsiveness.

    With all these memory stuffs going on, I've also changed swap/zram's parameters. You'll notice a difference in how many apps you can keep open, etc.

    The excessive RMNET_DFC wakelock that annoyed some users are now also gone by incorporating a fix from Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

    All in all, this is indeed a pretty big release.
    I'm expecting mixed feedback, so please let me know how the new kernel behaves.

    After months of tests, r3 is up and it's a major release that should fixes all major bugs from previous versions and improve performance.


    It turned out that using SimpleLMK causes random soft reboots due to page allocation failures.
    This kernel reverts back to using the stock lmkd until this issue is sorted out.
    You may experience a slight decrease in how many apps you can leave in the background.

    Also, random app crashes and freezes are fixed too.
    This was specific to OxygenOS, which freezes apps with cgroup and expects the kernel to un-freeze them, but with my kernel lacking that feature from OnePlus, using my kernel led to app crashes and freezes.
    This was fixed by forcefully disabling that feature from the kernel.

    Some Bluetooth and USB stuffs were also fixed with this release.


    Bug fixes alone make this a noteworthy release, but it also comes with nice performance improvements.

    With the Qualcomm HDK, I've managed to debug why using Clang 13 leads to boot failures.
    r3 has that issue sorted out and now the kernel uses the latest Clang 13.0.2 instead of 12.

    Read-write semaphore backported from Linux v5.16 will also give some nice latency improvements under heavy I/O.
    These patches are actively being talked in the f2fs mailing list for backporting to older Android devices.

    From Sultan (kerneltoast), r3 also has SLUB per-CPU partial caches disabled for better latency.
