[Kernel] Flashpoint Kernel v3.1 (6.0.1) Stock/N7 ports(V,T,P,W8,F) (Updated 12/29/17) - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development

Development Thread For This Kernel Has Been Moved To The Main Snapdragon Development Forum -- Click Here
For Some Reason I Can No Longer View Any Posts Past Page 23. I'm Wondering If Anyone Else Can, But Regardless Please Use The New Thread For Any Questions Or Comments.
As with anything on XDA, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. While I do my best to test everything there just no way of knowing how a kernel might respond to your current setup. With that being said, PLEASE HAVE A BACKUP just in case​

Here's how the zips are labeled:
910F in the title- built with the DQI6 (SM-N910F) source code and for use on F model only and maybe G but that's not been tested that I know of.
Does not have 910F in the title- built with CQE1 (SM-N910V) source code and can be used with T,P,W8, and V.
Extended Battery in the title- for those that have the 10,000 mAh batteries to provide a more accurate reading on your battery percentage.

Recommended Reading
-For those using the NSeven port, you'll will need to flash the Xposed uninstall zip and the unSu.zip to pass Safetynet. If you're using any other rom that has xposed or SuperSU installed you'll also need to flash those zips to pass.
-Use the MSM Hotplug rather than MPDecision. KA won't allow for cpu cores to turn themselves on and off while using MPDecision hotplug.
-Kernel Adiutor is not perfect. On the first reboot after you set your "run on boot" settings check them to make sure their right. Mostly the hotplug section, it will try to turn MPDecision back on. I've only noticed that on the first reboot, after that it's been pretty solid.

Wake Controls
To get the wake controls working: Turn on the control you want to use in Kernel Adiutor and then, using a root file explorer, go to /sys/android_touch2/ then find the corresponding file ie doubletap2wake and open the file with a text editor. If the file says 0 change it to 1, if it's already one just save and exit. After that it should work every time until you turn it back off in KA. If you want to turn it back on just repeat the above process.
I consider this to be as good as the wake controls are going to get. They've never really worked reliably but at least with this way it does and to be honest I probably won't put too much more work into getting it any better. Sorry.

Yes, I was just now uploading versions for the F,G,T, and w8. Just keep in mind that these are beta releases and untested on those the devices. The F version is booting and running fine on my 910V but if you decide you want to try it, you would in fact be the first.
Here's the F link If you want to try it now. I'm going to test the others before I update the op.

Sorry but didn't work for G.phone not booting after flashing kernel..its stuck on samsung galaxy note 4 start screen.

Oh really. That sucks, that's actually the one I'm running right now since it was the last one I tested. I kind of thought they would work since I used the same method that Ram121 uses but maybe there's something I'm missing still. Did you use or Magisk or supersu? Or neither?

Awesome stuff! Stoked for a Note 7 port kernel! Thanks bossman!

Thanks for your work wil be waiting for your N7port

Thanks. Your kernel(s) are much appreciated.

Dear Kevin,
thanks a lot for your quick reply and upload, but I have to say, that the F version doesn't work on my Note 4.
I get only the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing"-message and a blinking LED.
If you need any further information, please let me know. Your new kernel and help is greatly appreciated.

Just for info, work on kernel dont stop
Very very good job... I appreciate your work with this kernel ... I have only one question if is possible, what are the best governor and scheduler to use for a balance between performance and battery?

I personally like ondemand/cfq I find it makes things that tiny bit more responsive like 1080p video recording and scrolling thru my Google Keep widget. Ondemand for me gives some of the best battery.
who have tested this kernel with the rom "N5 four mini" ?????
better than silviu for battery ???
Will this work on I9192?

I'm currently using this with N5 four mini rom, works so awesome, incredible battery life, there is just one problem though, private mode does not work with this kernel, but they said its because of the rom not fully compatible with the kernel., i don't know if this works fine with s6 port 5.1, havent tried yet.
Can I use with S6 Mini Port Rom

[EOL][KERNEL] [OnePlusX] [OOS 3.x.x/2.x.x] Boeffla-Kernel (12-06-2017)

Hi all,
some of you know me from the other OnePlus (One and Two) or Samsung devices areas, where I provide my kernels already for more than two years to OnePlus One, OnePlus Two, Galaxy S5, S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.)
Please note:
I am not heading to have as many features as possible implemented, this is not my design goal. If you are more into that, move on to other kernels. If you are searching for a good mix of improvements and new functions while not sacrificing stability, you are welcome here (see below the history section for more info).
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official OnePlus OOS and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
Important notes
]When using new anykernel concept Boeffla-Kernel: Flash stock kernel of rom first !
Make sure you flash the correct kernel version, depending on whether you really use Oxygen OS or a different OS !!!
Also note: You have to use Boeffla-Config app which I provide on my homepage to tweak the kernel. 3rd party apps will not be able to unleash the full power of the kernel.
Saying that, the Boeffla-Sound app in Play Store is not designed to work on the OPX, neither was it developed by me, hence it will never work on the OPX ever. Boeffla-Config is the way to go here !!!
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app (quite outdated, as it is focused on S3 still).
Click here to learn about using the config app (quite outdated, as it is focused on S3 still).
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it.
Otherwise, you can get in touch with me via the support e-mail address: [email protected]
Please provide kernel version, rom version, a detailed issue description and ideally supporting screenshots or log files.
Change logs
(you can also access them directly in Boeffla-Config V2 by pressing menu and selecting "change log...")
Change log for Oxygen OS 3.x.x kernel - Click here
Change log for Oxygen OS 2.x.x kernel - Click here
Features
Support of anykernel concept (only latest kernels) - flash stock kernel before flashing Boeffla
Full integration with Boeffla-Config V2 (you need at least version 2.2.29 or higher !!!) configuration app (get it from http://www.boeffla.de) to configure all kernel settings
Additional governors: zzmoove, intelliactive, intellidemand, intellimm, wheatley, smartmax, smartmax_eps, slim, intellimm, pegasusq, nightmare, lionheart, impulse, ondemandplus, yankactive
Zzmoove supporting native hotplugging profiles
Additional schedulers: fiops, bfq, sio, tripndroid, zen
Many Hotplug tweak profiles (Default, Optimized, 1 core max, 2 cores max, 3 cores max, 2 cores min, 3 cores min, 4 cores min, 2 cores exact, 3 cores exact)
Notification LED control (fading, speed, brightness)
Boeffla-Sound engine (Headphones volume configurable currently)
True dynamic FSync (activated if screen on, deactived if screen off), configurable
Touch boost frequency and duration configurable, touch boost switch
CPU Overclocking up to 2.54 GHz
CPU Voltages interface for undervolting/overvolting
GPU idle frequency 27 Mhz added
GPU governor selection support with fixed simple_ondemand0
Show GPU frequency usage per frequency in Boeffla-Config
KCAL color control driver
Swipe2wake gestures
Swipe2sleep gestures
Haptic feedback control
SD card read ahead buffer configurable (default increased to 1024 kB)
Ext4 File system tweaks (default to on, can be disabled)
System Tweaks predefined supported
Kernel logger (dmesg) configurable
Charge rates for AC charger and USB charging separately configurable (set charge rate to 0 to have stock charge logic back)
Charge information display support via Boeffla-Config V2 app
CIFS support (module, do not mount inside /data, if you rooted with Chainfire SuperSu, make sure you uncheck the namespace separation in SuperSu app)
NFS support (module)
exFat opensource support
NTFS support (module) - read-only
XBox support (module)
OTG-Ethernet support (module)
TCP Congestion changed to Westwood
Multiple additional TCP congestion algorithms available
Swap supported
init.d support (in /system/etc/init.d - set correct permissions!)
Default entropies increased
Automatic EFS backup
Full support for mpdecision for best compatibility and smoothness (no min cpu frequency reset, use Boeffla-Config to configure min frequencies only)
Integrated full busybox 1.24.2 (own compilation)
Kernel initialisation log file (with history of 3 log files)
Emergency reset script automatically placed into /boeffla-kernel-data folder of your internal memory
Presets supported in Boeffla-Config by kernel (Extreme power, power, normal, battery friendly and battery saving)
Kexec hardboot patch for multirom usage (not supported, not fully working)
Google gcc 4.8 toolchain used for best stability
Always using latest Oxygen OS Initramfs
Always based on latest Oxygen OS kernel sources (https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974)
Note: I do NOT upstream the kernel to higher Linux kernel versions anymore as this usually has zero benefit but likely introduces new issues + is a waste of effort in the end
Download
For all information and downloads (stable AND testing versions), visit the Boeffla-Kernel homepage:
www.boeffla.de
History and design targets
Basically I created my first Boeffla-Kernel in 2012 as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. Also it does not aim to have the broadest feature set available everywhere.
It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
These design targets are also valid for the OnePlus kernel here!!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
things I do personally not need
things I do not like
things that are in any way dangerous
anything which is highly experimental
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
custom hotplugging algorithms
a CAF based kernel
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it if it falls into the listed categories. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
And: I do not really care about benchmark numbers, they say almost nothing as long as something is not completely wrong. Important for me is the feel-good factor.
I am also not interested in gaming at all, so never expect a gamer kernel. It will just not happen...
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: Flash the correct kernel depending on whether you are using Oxygen OS or another rom !!!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.
You need at least version 2.2.29 or higher for the OnePlus X Boeffla Kernels.
Donation
If you like my work, feel free to donate: Donation-Link
If you donate at least 2,49 EUR (to be in line with the donation app prices on Google Play store), you will receive a personal donation code which unlocks some nice little comfort functions in Boeffla-Config V2 on top.
Source code
All sources can be found in my Github repository: http://github.com/andip71
Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* ZaneZam
* Grarak
* Yank555
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Mialwe
* Entropy512
* Faux
* Harunjo
* FranciscoFranco
* Ak
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!
Disclaimer
*** As always - Flash on our own risk! ***
Make sure you flash the correct version depending on your firmware version!
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.
It is generally recommended to run a complete Nandroid backup in your custom recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.
Cheers and enjoy

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***
Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.
Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support
Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to
And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.
Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.
Period.
Also as a reminder:
you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue
you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own
you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support
Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.
Please consider that!!!
Andi
Great to have you here
Welcome Andi !!! Gonna flash your kernel as soon as I get my OPX .... Will make profiles for it too
Welcome again !!!

sorry if i sound like a noob but if i have bluspark kernel already flashed, can i just flash this ontop of it? or do i have to restore a backup (of the opx before i flashed bluspark) and then flash this kernel? thanks in advance
Thanks a ton. Is CM support planned?

You can flash on top of it as Boeffla kernel works on a different principle (Sorry.. I forgot what it is called... LOL... Maybe Andi can tell) .... But yeah, if issues come, flash stock and then the Boeffla (shouldn't happen though )

I don't wanna post on behalf of Andi... But if you have been following Andi , he usually builds for CM once official builds roll out with everything working... For now, there is no official build, though almost everything is working now...
But Boeffla is in initial phase of development for OPX so I feel lord will focus more on Oos...
In short, don't expect a CM version till official nightlies start.

Nice to see boeffla kernel here. Was waiting for this after seeing a thread on oneplus forum. Is there a version for cm12/13 as well?
Edit: Never mind
Finally, I can't wait to flash it. You're the best, Andi, I'm proud I can say I designed your avatar, hahaha.
well i tried to install, and it gave me the error : your device is onyx. this zip is for ONE
i did install this zip: boeffla-kernel-4.0-beta1-OOS2xx-OnePlusX.recovery.zip

Which recovery did you use ? As can clearly be seen, this issue is from Updater-script .... So either you can delete that line from the script or best is to use another twrp

You downloaded the wrong kernel ( you downloaded the OnePlus one variant) so don't flash it as it might brick your device.
Scroll a bit more down in the Web page till you find OnePlus X.
P.S. The website can be a bit confusing for newer members, so here you go.

no it was the opx variant, as the filename showed opx when i flashed it. thanks anyway, and yeah the website is a bit jumbled
but the problem was an old twrp version. updated it and the kernel flashed no problem . BTW i like ur icon pack, might try it
Can someone explain the difference between this kernel and blu-spark to us common people?
What do you take into consideration when deciding which one to use?
Hi Andi,
Good to have Boeffla kernel again!
The real deal just came to opx. Thanks, bro! Hope opx gets official cm so you can provide support for cm too, as I cannot live without cm.

[EOL] [KERNEL] [OnePlusX] [Lineage14/CM13] Boeffla-Kernel (28-03-2018)

** Note: This kernel is end-of-life and will no more be maintained. There will be no LineageOS 15.1 or newer kernel be available anymore **
Hi all,
some of you know me from the other OnePlus (One and Two) or Samsung devices areas, where I provide my kernels already for more than two years to OnePlus One, OnePlus Two, Galaxy S5, S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.)
Now I own a OnePlus X device and decided to port my kernels also to this device.
Please note:
I am not heading to have as many features as possible implemented, this is not my design goal. If you are more into that, move on to other kernels. If you are searching for a good mix of improvements and new functions while not sacrificing stability, you are welcome here (see below the history section for more info).
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official Cyanogenmod and nothing else.
So when the kernel does not run on custom rom XYZ, do not even bother me with it or ask hundred times in the thread for compatibility.
I could not care less about it !!
Important notes
When using new anykernel concept Boeffla-Kernel: Flash stock kernel of rom first !
Make sure you flash the correct kernel version, depending on whether you really use CM or a different OS !!!
Also note: You have to use Boeffla-Config app which I provide on my homepage to tweak the kernel. 3rd party apps will not be able to unleash the full power of the kernel.
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app (quite outdated, as it is focused on S3 still).
Click here to learn about using the config app (quite outdated, as it is focused on S3 still).
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will also not provide any support if you do not use Boeffla-Config app to tweak the kernel, other 3rd party tweaking apps are known (and intended) to cause issues.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it.
Otherwise, you can get in touch with me via the support e-mail address: [email protected]
Please provide kernel version, rom version, a detailed issue description and ideally supporting screenshots or log files.

Download
For all information and downloads (stable AND testing versions), visit the Boeffla-Kernel homepage:

History and design targets
Basically I created my first Boeffla-Kernel in 2012 as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. Also it does not aim to have the broadest feature set available everywhere.
It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!!
These design targets are also valid for the OnePlus kernel here!!!
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
things I do personally not need
things I do not like
things that are in any way dangerous
anything which is highly experimental
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
custom hotplugging algorithms
a CAF based kernel
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it if it falls into the listed categories. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
And: I do not really care about benchmark numbers, they say almost nothing as long as something is not completely wrong. Important for me is the feel-good factor.
I am also not interested in gaming at all, so never expect a gamer kernel. It will just not happen...
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: Flash the correct kernel depending on whether you are using CM or another rom !!!
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.
You need at least version 2.2.42 or higher for the OnePlus X Boeffla Kernels.
Donation
If you like my work, feel free to donate: Donation-Link
If you donate at least 2,49 EUR (to be in line with the donation app prices on Google Play store), you will receive a personal donation code which unlocks some nice little comfort functions in Boeffla-Config V2 on top.
Source code
All sources can be found in my Github repository: http://github.com/andip71
Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* ZaneZam
* Grarak
* Yank555
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Mialwe
* Entropy512
* Faux
* Harunjo
* FranciscoFranco
* Ak
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!
Disclaimer
*** As always - Flash on our own risk! ***
Make sure you flash the correct version depending on your firmware version!
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.
It is generally recommended to run a complete Nandroid backup in your custom recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.
Cheers and enjoy

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***
Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.
Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support
Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:
http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to
And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.
Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.
Period.
Also as a reminder:
you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue
you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own
you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support
Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.
Please consider that!!!

[Kernel]Photon Kernel[condor][UBER-4.9][AndroidN]

Hello XDA Members,
I am here with my new kernel. This kernel works on Android 7.x based ROMs
Standard disclaimer :
Code:
This product is distributed free of cost and does not come with a warranty. I will not be responsible for anything that may happen to your phone as a result of flashing this kernel. You have been warned !If you come to me saying that this turned my phone into nuclear bomb , I will surely laugh at you !!!
Introduction :
Photon is a fundamental particle of nature which delivers light to us all. It's mindboggling properties like duality, never stopping from being in motion and presence in so many diverse natural phenomena like photoelectric effect, relativity etc. makes the man ultra-curious about it. A photon is born when atoms transition from excited state to ground state. What's the point of this paragraph in a kernel description post?
Well, like a photon this kernel possess duality. How? By giving better battery back up and performance. ( ) What about non-resting nature of photons? Yes, the kernel support will never stop until Nougat says good bye. ( ). OK now don't ask about analogies regarding photoelectric effect and relativity. ( : D ).
Anyways, now coming to the point I am very much glad to present you, the users of condor, my tiny piece of work for our small beast, .
“The Photon Kernel“
I got very much fascinated by the concept of photons when I studied it for the first time and hence (yes, you've guessed it right!) I've named this kernel Photon.
Enough of the physics class today let's look inside the features of the kernel now ( xD ) :
Features :
1)Compiled with UBER toolchain 4.9
2)Used -O3 and graaphite optimisation flag
3)Added few more governers to stock ones. List of all governers :
Impulse
Ondemand
Ondemandplus
Powersave
Performance
Interactive
Userspace
Smartmax
Lionheart
Nightmare
4)More I/O schedulers.List of all I/O schedulers :
noop
deadline
row
cfq
flops
tripndroid
sio
sioplus
vr
zen
bfq
5)Enable Arch Power
6)Disable Gentle Fair Sleepers
So that’s all for the features as of now. More features will be added in future.
This kernel serves me good for daily use and allowes me to use those governers flawlessly.
To-do list :
1)Add more governers(No more governers planned)
2)Add dt2w feature
(DT2W and intelliplug update is ready but I want everything to be nice and shining before adding them )

Nice work with the kernel
You could add more hotplugs, Arch power, I/O governors like sio and tcp algorithm westwood and it will be the best kernel for N ?
New build up !!

Added 3 more governers
smartmax/lionheart/nightmare
Hope you guys enjoy
If someone could please report me for battery life and performance .. it would be great for me

[Kernel] SMF-KERNEL - RR/AICP/LOS/AOSP - 8.1

Hello!
I want to introduce my first custom kernel for the Essential PH-1. This is based of several sources, I cherry-picked commits to make improvements to the stock LOS kernel. I'm not a developer, but i really like to port stuff over .
Kernel is suitable for AOSP based ROMS such as RR/AICP/CARBON/LOS etc... If you want to request for specific features, let me know and i'll do my best to bring them over.
Special Features:
Updated to lastest LOS Stock Kernel
Added a few governors like: cultivation / impulse
added a few IO Schedulers: Maple
Kcal Color Control driver
USB Fast Charge - pending will be added in R2
SafetyNet Patch (Bypass bootloader unlocked check)
Dynamic Fsync control
a little Overclock - will be added in R2
Motorola Quickwake - Will be added in R2
and manny other small fixes (you can check the commits in the sources)

Latest Release: SMF-Kernel R2
Known issues:
05.17.2018 - CPU Freq don't always stick, known issue caused by other drivers. Phone will eventually set your frequencies, dont' panic.
Installation:
Obviouly you have a Unlocked Bootloader since you're running a custom rom (make sure to never lock your bootloader in this state)
Boot into Bootloader (adb reboot Bootloader)
If you want to root flash the "Magisk" version of the kernel, it's been prerooted with the latest Magisk Beta available.
Code:
fastboot flash boot SMF-Kernel-R1-Magisk.img
reboot
If you want to manually root, first flash twrp, then from twrp flash the 'non magisk' version and after that flash the magisk zip.

Also a request, if possible vibration level control would be super appreciated

I found Cultivation to be really great in terms of perfornance. It's a little bit agressive with the CPU so you get buttery smooth experience with Screen On but it may cost a few % on battery at the end of the day. The good thing is that it has specific tunables and you can set a low cpu freq for when the screen is off.
Specific details from its developer:
-based off of caf 4.4 commits
-uses per-pcu timers
-use state_notifier for screen off timer
option to set different timer rate when screen off
-improrted fastlane with threshold from blu_active
In regards of vibration control. It should be there. I'm using EX Kernel Manager and i can see the vibration option under "Miscellaneous"

Thanks for this. It's running amazing so far. Performance has been great and I'll see how battery life is, but so far it's great.
I can't wait for further updates. I really wanna see what Moto quickwake is haha

Thanks for the info on cultivation, I don't mind trading some battery life for butter so I'm using it now
For the vibration control, it doesn't actually work/stick. I've tried kernel auditor and EX Kernel Manager. To be fair, so far it has only worked on LOS and I think invisiblek may have rewritten the stock controller or something so no worries if it isn't a high priority haha

I'll take a look at the latest commits but I've used the latest los kernel base so I'm not sure why is not sticking maybe it needs rom support too (not sure honestly) hahaha
I've been testing R2 since yesterday. Will update after y he weekend!
Just out of curiosity, was anything involving the camera done to this kernel? I am now able to record videos without the bug, on any of the affected ROMs, with this kernel.

Nothing related to camera. Are you sure it works with no issues?
What roms have you tested?

So far, AICP and LOS, both with Essential camera app and GCAM port, HD and 4K, 30 and 60 fps where applicable. Issues presented before flashing very consistently, and so far I have been unable to replicate after flashing this kernel.

Sp you were right. Honestly don't know what happened but I installed the latest RR (clean install) put R2 on top of it and bam recording works as you mentioned lol..
I guess it was a lucky strike!
after flashing the kernel with magisk, stuck on "AICP is starting"
is this normal?
update: the phone works but no magisk (pre root) after flashing the kernel.....

Hey!
Have you booted once and setup everything before flashing the prerooted image?
I've had that error but having all set and then flashing the image will get me rooted. Try to see if you can find magisk manager in the apps list from the settings if you do, reboot and there will be magisk
Double post... Sorry

Thank you for the reply.
the phone was running AICP and I wanted root so I flash the kernel. I can't find the magisk manager or in the settings about magisk. I guess you have to clean install from the beginning to get the root. Thank you for the Kernel

Shouldn't. If you flashed the prerooted magisk image try downloading the magisk manager app manually from xda and see if magisk works
