This is a kernel for Cyanogen Mod 12.1, which is based on the EvoMix kernel by Alx31TLse, olivieer and SuperHanss (full credits to them). It is compiled by a Linaro 4.9.3 toolchain, which was optimized for Cortex A9 CPUs (thanks to Christopher83). It has a focus on stability, performance, endurance and overclock-ability (roughly in that order).
It uses the original ramdisk of the installed kernel (thanks to osm0sis), for maximum compatibly in the long run and instant adaptability to most source changes of CM. For now, it probably only works with the very latest unofficial CM12.1 built by qsnc (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58006383&postcount=1), due to the introduction of new sensor drivers! It should now works with other CM12.1 based ROMs, like crDroid and PAC, too. Please don't report bugs to qsnc, if you are using this kernel!
Features:
CPU: over/under-clock 1728MHz-192 MHz possible
governors: ondemand(plus), intelliactive, wheatley, ElementalX, ...
GPU: over/under-clock 487MHz-27MHz
governors: simple, performance, powersave, ondemand, conservative
File-systems: ext2/3/4, F2FS, exFAT, NTFS
Schedulers: noob, deadline, row, cfq, bfq, sio, fiops, zen, vr
intelli-plug hot-plugger and power saver (disable MPDecision first!)
Voltage Control (OC/UV)
Sound Control 3.x
poweramp controls (loudness enhancements)
screen colour tweaks
full NEON support
KSM support (Kernel Samepage Merging)
multicore power saver (recommended: enabled)
multirom compatibility
...
Performance: about 10% faster than original CM12.1-kernel with same settings, and some additional 20% speed by using maximum over-clocked frequencies (use at your own risk, every device is different!)
Configuration: Kernel Adiutor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor) or PerformanceControl 2.2.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=600#downloads)
Install: just flash the attached zip with CyanogenMod Recovery, TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...very-twrp-2-8-7-0-pollux-polluxwindy-t3187811) or CWM
Install a custom recovery first! The simple CyanogenMod Recovery, which comes with most ROMs, is pretty useless anyway..
Uninstall: re-flash the complete ROM (just re-flashing the original kernel is not enough!)
Sources: https://github.com/EvoMix/kernel_apq8064 (to obtain the defconfig: run "unpigz -cd /proc/config.gz")

Version Information
Status: Stable
Just installed latest unofficial CM12.1 built by qsnc and this kernel. Seems great so far! Boots a lot faster and kritika plays faster!
I'm trying the overcloacking with Kernel Adiutor set to 1728MHz, I've to 3C widgets installed to monitor temperature and such. Great job!
May seem a bit offtopic but how is the combination intelliplug-ondemandplus?
I think i get some lag with this but it may be a placebo

First, I also used this combination, but experienced some lag, too. It is not necessary to enable intelliplug and I'm not sure if it does any good, since hot-plugging is handled by auto_hotplug. Actually it is not even included in the original EvoMix kernel.
I'm now using only intelliactive, which seems to keep the frequencies low most of the time, while producing only minimal lag.
But maybe it is really a matter of believe..

The over-clocking capabilities of the EvoMix kernel are rather conservative. I personally use it with maximum CPU and GPU frequencies and even a general -50mV under-voltage, and it seems to be perfectly stable. But no guarantee, every device is different!
Thanks for Kernel !
Multirom Patch inclusive ?

Traced the cause.After some time with intelliplug+ondemandplus cores 2,3,4 are permanently disabled.Now i am on intelliactive.Very good so far
I've been using Wheatley and OC 1728 for couple days now. No lag, no heat issues, everything is just peachy!
Hi! Can I use this kernel on my sgp321 Pollux? Tried to flash but get error.
Pollux build will be released later...

So apparently my tablet hates me. I can't get this kernel to actually flash for ****. I'm using the 5/27 CM 12.1 from the OP. Tried both versions of the kernel. It acts as if it flashes but is much too fast and the kernel version is the same. TWRP 2.8.5.0 from the OP link too.
EDIT: Nevermind I guess. Moved it to the root of the internal and renamed it to a shorter filename and it pushed it properly. No idea what was going on.

I had the same problem, especially when I flashed an already flashed kernel. I never found the actual reason, but at one point it started to work perfectly all the time..
This is due the pretty complicated process of splitting the original kernel of and recreating the new one in real time, on the device. Normally the developer does this on his PC, and releases a directly flashable combination of the actual kernel and a custom ramdisk.
If other people have the same problem persistently, I may publish an conventional kernel. Please report!
Does this work on "[Rom][UB][5.1.x][SGP311]☆Dirty Unicorns v9.3☆ Unofficial +EvoMix Kernel" rom??
So i tested the latest version.I use intelliplug+intelliactive
No issues so far.Intelliplug is shutting down cores faster which will propably save some juice
Also feels a little colder than before when gaming(asphalt 8)

Testing helium in temasek, for now all working right and cpu freq. goes to 1728Mhz. Very similar to last stock cm kernel but with usb fast charging :good:
I have a question @tommons (or sombody): Why do you include KSM? In Tangerine kernel it made the device laggy, increasing the power consumption due to the continous work of cpu cores and soon many of us saw that this feature wasn't good to our Xperia Sp. I always leave it off and better overall performance is achieved.
In init.d options of Kernel adiutor we can see the entry 01tangerine. Delete this entry is the same that going to /system/etc/init.d? I suppose that is.
BTW, great work and thanks for your dev time.

KSM (in v2, UKSM) is there as an option. Nobody forces you to use it It uses more power but the result is a better RAM management.
Yes you can delete 01tangerine from Kernel Adiutor too.
Trying v2 with carbon 5.1.1 seems everything OK..good work man ;D

Overclocking?
Can you build a overclocking option from this Kernel, In Tangerine Kernel my Cellphone is stucked on 1444 MHz on all gorvenors, Can you do it? A Overclocking to 1.94 GHz or more ?

Flash the stock boot.img of your CM build (if you have CM+Addons, it would be better if you flashed the boot.img of the Addons you have installed on your device), enter TWRP, install Helium.
Or, in an easier way, next time you update your CM nightly flash Helium instead of Tangerine!

Overclock needs some work and I'm very busy at the moment. Frequency fixes will come very very soon. In the mean time you can flash v2.1, which hasn't got any issues with frequencies.
@Tomoms I am not able to install v2.2 on cm 12.1 using twrp it says unpacking kernel and nothing happens I have to hard reboot.anyone know how to solve this?

Good! Well, actually that's bad, but I expected it. Will fix ASAP (that is, unfortunately for you, on Sunday/Monday).
Use v2.1, it doesn't have problems.
For the others: I remind you that this doesn't mean v3 is buggy. This bug appears only on certain devices confused and mine is one of the "lucky" ones. So the best thing to do is to try v3 and see if you're lucky or unlucky. Hopefully, the bug will be fixed with v3.1.

Is TRIM support planned? I think that it is essential for device with such slow flash memory.
As for now I'm using heavily customized Tangerine 9.2 + last Xenon HD which gives great performance, but has issues (inaccurate GPS, big lag after locking the screen, touchscreen not working couple times a week and a few more). Tested latest CM12.1 + Helium 3.1 for few hours and it looks promising, but feels slower than much more bloated Xenon HD + Tk9.2 (used since September) possibly due lack of TRIM support.

You can use the command line utility called fstrim or mount the partitions with the "discard" option. The latter way is more difficult because it requires unpacking the kernel, the ramdisk, and then repacking everything.
Swap crashing problem is resolved in v3.2?

I think that it was my mistake - I cannot remember if I enabled root before issuing TRIM - shame on me
I am using Trimmer utility and running it resulted in instant execution without returning trimmed size in gigabytes pointing that either root was not enabled or TRIM was not supported. Judging by your reply I can assume that TRIM is supported so I think that I'll make second attempt to CM12.1 when touchscreen issue is fixed* or CM13 when camera will be working.
* I just read that @Adrian DC fixes has been merged in 3.2! I will check that kernel as soon as I can! :angel:

Hello, your kernel is very good, very fluid and good battery consumption in CM13, it would be possible in the future to add support KCAL?, can change the saturation, contrast, etc., thank you for your work.

Your kernel its a dream hahahaha I was waiting for a kernel with fauxsound since I've bought this phone. So, first of all, thank you very much for your kernel and we appreciate your work and your time spent with this kernel. But lets get to the facts:
1) In RR 5.6.0 your kernel cause bootloop;
2) In CM13 (specifically 2015-12-12 build) I had a lot of random reboots and the sound (specifically Play Music and Deezer) sometimes was cracking or just not played;
3) In CrDroid I had the same thing in CM13 but the rom has some serious bugs, so we don't count it;
4) In Nexus Experience 10.0.4 I just had ONE random reboot (take note: the first boot, so lets blame the instability of the rom) and, since then, my phone is working completely perfect.
5) With kernel auditor all of my preferences are saved and sticked after a reboot (in Nexus Experience 10.0.4)
Note: All of the Roms was fresh installed, wiped everything (including internal storage) then installed ROM->GAPPS (NX GApps in Nexus Experience and OpenGApps in the other roms)->KERNEL
Maybe with some work in your kernel and in the newer roms, this phone will gain some fresh air!
Thank you again!

I just asked for Vinicius post for me , since I had not yet allowed to post in section ...
This is the PB1 version of NN-J kernel. It's going to go in a little different direction than the previous kernel. There are a lot of changes in PB1. That's why a new thread. And I'm not very good with Git. So may I present to you.....
NNPB1-Kernel
This will work on the T710 and 810 Wifi only models.
You flash this at your own risk. There's the discaimer.
Install instructions:
You MUST HAVE ROOT and TWRP installed to flash this!!
It's built on Lollipop 5.1.1 - I have no idea what will happen if you flash this on anything else!!
Flash kernel then wipe cache and dalvic
Reboot and profit!!

Thanks, i flashed the canadian stock rom and then your kernel. As there is no Xposed framework now (i had before) what
ROM do you recommend to flash (must be deodexed i suppose) ?

710 or 810 shouldn't make a difference.
Edit. Gapps and permissive hack you shouldn't need though. They're built in. But maybe??

Must I change original Neked Nook PB1 kernel with this one?
Hi falcon people!
This is my modified kernel with some kernel optimizations and some compiler optimizations.
The goal of abyss is to achieve improved performance/battery without the cost of stability.
I will not be overhauling this project with changes that are not logical to add.
This kernel should work on the latest 7.x.x (and maybe 6.x.x) roms like CyanogenMod and any other AOSP based rom.
How does one achieve this?
- build kernel with an optimized toolchain
- use compiler optimization flags (experimental)
- remove redundant code
- improve existing code with more efficient code
- reduce/increase speed of timers (depends on what type of function)
- etc. (most are not easy to explain)
Built with Linaro GCC 4.9 optimized for Cortex A7 with vfpv4 technology
Is there actually a performance improvement?
With all the changes added up, there should be. Whether or not one notices the difference is another thing.
Personally, I do feel the performance difference. It is easier to notice the difference with lower level specs like ours.
For those interested in how the kernel optimizations will benefit/work, please look at my github source and read the commit messages.
For those interested in how the compiler optimizations/hacks will benefit/work, please look at this article.

Asking for ETA's won't be necessary because I use this kernel as my daily driver.
I do not mind if there's some non-development/off-topic discussion here, just no discussion about other works that is nowhere near related to mine.
Also, please refrain from comparing works here; it really kills the spirit of development. Go do that in some other thread.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this a custom kernel?
I was asked this question once, and it posed as a real good question. I do not consider abyss to be a "custom kernel" per se, but more so as a modified kernel. The patches and features that go into this kernel do not make it customizable. What they do is improve what has already been implemented. It is like swapping a car's engine for a better one rather than just adding LED flooring lights and fancy car mats.
Can you add [this] and [that] feature to abyss?
Something I pride myself with this kernel is that it does not have a bunch of random, useless features or patches mashed into it. Everything put into this kernel is thought out well and tested. I see a lot of works being made popular because it has [this] and [that] feature when really, it's nothing revolutionary. As a matter of fact, most things added to any kernel will not make it 5x better than any other kernel. Most of the time, simple is better; and in this case it definitely is!
Main Patches and Features:
- intelliplug (default hotplug)
- intelliactive governor
- KCAL Control Driver
- kexec hardboot patch for Multirom
- USB Force Fast Charge patch
- Abyss Optimizations (compiler)
- disabled debugging for more performance throughout
- lots of patches for better performance here and there... too many to list
How to install:
Download kernel from Basketbuild
Boot into TWRP recovery
(If you're coming from a different kernel, dirty flash current ROM)
Flash kernel zip
Reboot
Nice job bro ! [emoji3]
Thank you for this awesome kernel [emoji6]

It will work on any 6.x.x AOSP based rom (CyanogenMod included). The only roms it will not work with to my knowledge are Omni and SlimSaber.
edit: turns out it works with them
nx rom based cm work?
Can you add OC made be @h2o64 ? Really is a the difference if you do the benchmarks and in real life just a little so is true OC..

Sorry, I won't be adding underclocking to this kernel. There really isn't much of a need for underclocking a phone. In the long run, battery consumption will not be changed, maybe only at the slightest.
Also, the more frequencies added, the slower a CPU governor works. Most governors run calculations based on cpu load, checking whether or not it needs to move up or down a frequency step. By adding more steps, the cpu will throttle slower.
Just updated the kernel with frandom support. Also added some ramdisk modifications to support it.
More entropy == better performance.

Battery backup is good...give a try
It's great to see feedback from the users. New build with modified values; it should improve multitasking performance.

Yes, the battery is great, 18 hours standby and i get almost 4h sot, left with 52% right now. Anybody looking for great battery should go for it.
PixN KernelSo this is the only custom kernel currently available. It's got a custom hotplugging solution and built-in exfat support. The camera fixes are iffy at 2.99b, works in 2.99
This is best used with my custom rom, here, but will work with any AOSP N based rom.
Maybe it'll work on CM devices too but I'm not sure. You may lose recovery on flashing this. Don't panic, just flash Zach's TWRP recovery after the kernel.
Eventually this will see many optimizations.
Built with the regular 4.9 toolchain. (Uber from 3.2)
About the screen dimmer:
You can echo 0 to disable and echo 1 to enable it via the sys path /sys/module/mdss_fb/parameters/backlight_dimmer

Or just use ExKernel Manager.
Downloads
In the DevDB Downloads tab. Since for some odd reason DevDB is giving me 410 when I tried to upload the newest kernel, it's uploaded as a 7z file. Extract it and flash/profit.
DevDB is down right now so the latest release is hosted on MEGA (from version 3.4)

Sure, but I think that also needs the rom to specifically add the module too..
(I'll add that to the linked rom)
@HaoZeke, I have been using your rom for almost 2 days now. It is much similar to the other AOSP Nougat. In both the cases, the battery drains fast. Does not even last half a day. The UI is not very smooth. The touch also needs some work on it.

Ok... Did you try the new kernel? The latest version (coming) has elementalx as the governor (enable by kernel auditor mod)..
My battery seems to do ok with the suggestions in the op...
Touch seems ok too.. Actually I build multiple times a day, it's possible an issue sneaked in.
The main reason for this rom is basically the native substratum support..
Does your substratum app show substratum or substratum legacy? In the uploaded release 1 for e6653 there was a small bug which was fixed for 1.1
EDIT:- I'm grateful for the feedback but this thread is for the kernel and related issues... Please post in the right thread...

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I recognized this after posting, so left it at that.
I am contnuing this in the right section.
Latest version uploaded for both variants. Extract the 7z and fastboot (or twrp) flash the kernels. This release fixes camera issues.
Could e6653 users with sdcard issues please test this kernel?

Actually a full flashable version isn't currently a priority, since actually the system.img is a bit large to be zipped (cuz of the addition of gapps).
Eventually I'll start zipping the kernels, but again, not a priority..
It should be easy enough to set up.
First download the latest system.img from the ROM thread.
Then get the latest kernel here. (or whichever feature-set you want)
Also grab the recovery.
Put the phone in bootloader mode.
fastboot flash boot boot.img (or whatever the kernel is called)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Hey the latest build is up for anyone interested... This might be the last release for a while...
I feel like it's significantly improved... The camera needs work and some other bugs...
Battery life is around 1-1.5% idle.
Testers please post feedback.
@HaoZeke i flash the rom yesterday and the kernel. For me everything was working fine except the camera, whis is upside down. I like the rom, very smooth, i cant tel the battery cause i have 12 hs with it. The kernel you put for test for me is working fine. This kernel will work on CM?

Excellent, I'm glad the test kernel is working, could you try 2.99b1? That has many battery and performance fixes, the older kernels were giving me around 2-3% battery usage per hour, with the new one it's 1-1.5%..
CM I'm not sure, it should maybe work with cm-14.0 but cm-14.0 has been depreciated in favor of cm-14.1 ...
I don't know if there is a cm14.0 for the Z5..
By the way, if I may ask, why are you interested in CM ? Any particular feature?
I ported substratum on AOSP since the cyanogen theme engine wasn't ready for nougat...
So I was wondering if there was anything else people particularly wanted...

I will give a try tonight. I line cm cause allways works very good for me. Mm.. I like you dont need to flash supersu to get root. But with your rom and cm. There is no diference. Just cm is 7.1 and yours 7.0. I really like both, the only thing i dont like and more useful for me are camera and fingerprint, which both arent working. I will test the new kernel and will tell you in a few hours. Thanks!

I'm glad the rom is working well... Actually hold off the kernel, in a short while I'll upload another (really the last for a few days)
Actually the sony sources for 7.1 aren't ready since sony uses 3.18 as a Linux kernel base...
The integrated su I was planning to add for the next rom release..
I used to be a huge cm fan but recently I feel cm has left supporting sony phones.. So.. I switched to aosp

Yes, al cm roms are unofficial. I like aosp and cm cause the battery was allways better. But i do love stock for the camera, fingerprint and stability. And im allways changing roms. I like your aosp rom. For now is very stable. When can i try the kernel i will tell you. Thank!
Camera fix out.
New release fixing the charging.
