PASCAL KERNEL
/*Changelogs*/
- pascal kernel (v1)
- ramdisk & kernel both (AQF7)
- Not upstreamed
- Rooting restriction DISABLED
- Disabled DM_verity
- init.d support
- Dynamic Fsync
- adb detection improved
- Compiled using Google toolchain 4.9

/*Governors*/
- interactive (default)
- lulzactiveq
- zzmoove
- pegasusqplus
- pegasusq
- smartass
and much more to come . . . .


/*Schedulers*/
- cfq (default)
- no-op
- deadline


/*TCP algorithms and Network*/
- Network packet generator (use with caution , at your own risk)
- Hybla
- Cubic
- Westwood (default)
- Reno
- Vegas
- BIC
- Veno
- Scalable
and much more to come . . . .


What to expect in future ?
- More stability
- NTFS support
- More & almost every governor
- I don't like more IO schedulers (except CFQ) it works best for me, So if i don't add it more please DON'T fire me :D
- Fast charging feature (I think it will take time, and S8+ users don't need it!)
and more kernel features


What to NOT expect in future ?
- F2FS as I don't like it and it is also not stable (I will only add if someone request & then don't expect bugfree kernel)
- Upgrading kernel (This is unnecessarily takes a lot of time and sometimes also with bugs)
- CPU overclocking
- GPU overclocking
- undervolting
Doing all this is like playing with fire


/*Instructions*/
- Goto download mode
- Connect your phone to PC
- Select AP and set path to downloaded kernel
- Uncheck re-partition
- Press start


/*Downloads*/

I have downloaded AQF7 early when it releases, as i don't own S8+, I am unaware of H3 , Don't worry !!! If this rom works well , I will also build rom from H3;)
if it is based of stock s8+ is it possible to make a slightly altered version to work on s8+ us snapdragon version. Just got to erase any changes to boot image?As are bootloader is locked even tho we got root.

Yes , I can make this rom odin flashable file, and I can also modify USA firmware that is G955U :p
So Anyone wants me to make odin flashable of this rom ? or also wants me to create G955U version rom ?

Yeah, that would be great. Here's my rom with su and busybox already installed:*https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195927939


And you can create Odin tar.md5 files that get "Secure Check Failed", when trying to flash with Odin?
