Welcome to the Serenity Kernel (Firefly Edition) for the Mate 9
The Serenity kernel is designed to make the most out of the mate 9 by optimizing the balance of both battery life and performance.
As there aren't many choices for our devices when it comes to custom kernels or ROM's, I decided to dive into developing a kernel to not only help maximize idle battery drain (while the screen is off) but also to help extend the total SoT for our devices. The goal is to create that "flash it and forget it" type kernel for those that don't want to have to mess around with the settings. However, this kernel will also provide those who want more functionality and control. the ability to do so.
Right now, some kernel settings like I/O schedulers need to be set using a kernel manager app.
Disclaimer:
This kernel has been tested and working but this will void your warranty and any modifications you do to your device, you do at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for any damage such broken sdcards, your phone causing world war iii etc...

Q&A
Q I'm getting a partition error while trying to flash the zip file in TWRP.
A Ensure you are on the latest recovery. I personally use the v3 of TWRP from blackball for the p10 plus.
Q How can I modify the kernel settings?
A I personally like to use to EX Kernel Manager but any others like Kernel Auditor will work too.

Unfortunately, it will only work on Oreo... If I get enough requests though, I might make a nougat version. It would just take time.

Can you add some features in next build please? I run nethunter and i need modify kernel for external adapter and hid attack. You can find more information here

I can definitely take a look at adding nethunter and it's features into the next build. Always open to implementing features that will benefit others and work. So I'm always up for suggestions.
Great to see more kernels. Will try this stuff.

Awesome... Would appreciate some feedback, once you've tested it out.
I really really can say good work. Today I drive with my bike to work 1h 30 min one way with GPS and Spotify. On work I played games in the break and later again 1h 30 min GPS and Spotify for home way. And now I have only lost 50% of my battery. Way better than stock. Great work.

Debugging the kernel
/proc/kmsg is a file that stores all the kernel messages from the very first seconds of the boot process. A copy of that file isn't always needed to fix a bug, but since I've explained how to get one I don't even remember how many times, I'll write here the needed steps:
1. open a terminal on your phone
2. run the following commands:
- su
- cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kernel_log
3. the log will be stored in kernel_log.

If you had previously flashed the old PhilZ with Rashr, you need to flash stock FOTAKernel to use TWRP in v3.1 and later.
Use this zip that will flash a stock FOTAKernel (thanks to @TechnoSparks): http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general/stock-components-flashable-zips-t3184111/post62447981
be sure to choose your variant (e.g. C5303)!
Or, if you've got the whole C530x .ftf file, you can also flash the FOTAKernel via FlashTool.

If you want any help related to double tap to wake function you head into galaxy s3's android development section. And there you have to see for arter kernel it is the best kernel for double tap to wake and you could pm the developer for any help
I installed it, all seem work fine. Except I am not able to change a CPU governor, as there is only IO governor option on the performance tab.

That option isn't available with stock kernel too.
Don't use CM's built-in kernel tweaker. It sucks. Use Trickster MOD.
Good work bro
use this mods for next version
- Swap support
- Zram support
- CPU underclock
- CPU limiter
- O3 compression
No need to set SELinux to permissive in this kernel :victory:
So, i've tested it on RR 5.4.0 and it works but cyanogenmod recovery is SAD! can't flash anything so please include CWM, Philz and TW like other kernel.
When i flashed it, it take very long time it's normal?!
Nice kernel, i hope some features are going to be added like fast charge, faux sound and more cpu frequencies. If u want to flash another recovery use Rashr Flash tool.
WOAH a custom kernel for 5.1! Congrats @Tomoms ! I'm going to test it.

If you have already flashed PhilZ w/ Rashr, installing this kernel won't overwrite it.
Can you explain better "It takes very long"? It takes a lot of time to boot/to flash/...?
BTW, v2 is in progress! A lot of new features, I hope they work... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Yeah, I had to create it mainly because unlocking the bootloader and staying on a featureless kernel seemed nonsensical to me.

Will directly flash v2, Waiting And the thing I Love the most is "Permissive SELinux"
Sent from Xperia SP with Lollipop 5.1 (RR 5.4.0)
why use this kernel
i have rr5.4 build running quite good with philz recovery.
whats the difference bw the rr's kernel and this one.
i would like to know the features before flashing it

A small update for all of you. v2 is canceled since it doesn't boot, I'll release some point releases (1.x) which will include each feature I had previously planned for v2. So within 3 or 4 point releases we'll have what should have been v2. This will help me in debugging. v1.1 is coming today or tomorrow
flashed it but im having philz
many guyz said they lose philz recovery but not im my case
how this is possible then

Those who were haveing file not found issue, the only thing that has to be done was reove the https:// from the link, i've made the changes in the OP now you can download the kernel
Okkk..
Eager to test and tested it also but cant boot up after installing it
Firstly i was installed it on Thunderzap kernel and then (thought that it may be overlapping) tried to install over stock CM 12.1 kernel also but same problem.
Hope get it running soon

With BlackBox-2.0 All Your Issues Are Solved Now!
Thanks a lot.. Working great loved it. But whenever i'm using governers other than hotplug and turn screen off its getting CPUstoo low that its getting switched off...
Same problem is there in Thunderzap Kernel by @varun.chitre15
I hope you will not mind a feature request...
I can't list each and every feature so i'll just point to Boeffla kernel... With almost every feature
Especially i just love PegasusQ governer
Thanks

Thanks for the reports, i'll take a look and make changes update fix and imrove the next version of kernel! Meanwhile as of i know these governors and io schedulers have issue with mediatek and thus causing all this issue! also the reason why varun disabled those governers!
Warm Regards!
Thanks a lot! Eagerly waiting for your next build!

I heard of this problem already, it's not kernel related directly, but due to Xposed, especially latest version available v70 final. :good:
Will this work with AOKP? I haven't flashed a kernel in a while so I can't remember the qualifications. Thanks in advance.

Can confirm FC's are from kernel, not from Xposed. I had no fc's under selecting/ticking any of the security settings before the kernel... now that I've installed it I do.
I'm on the stock tmob marshmallow rom with root and xposed installed.

No problems here, Stock 20i , Xposed 80 along with other mods. Running Great!!!
Same here. Xposed v80 and no issues. I'm on micromod's mm extreme rom currently and was on stock before. No issues with this kernel on either.
I lost root when I flashed this how can I regain and keep this kernel?

Fast Charging not included?
What's wrong with including Fast Charging support?
UPDATE
★ UPDATE ★ :
19.02.2016 : v1.0.1 released.
Add USB fast charge (but disabled as default)
Add KCAL post-processing driver
I finally decided to add those two known and great features (which I didn't want at the beginning, because they are much useful and does not affect battery) :good:
To enable USB fast charge, you can use Kernel Adiutor or your favorite kernel control app (also for KCAL).
I decided to keep it disable as default, but it may be useful in some situations (GPS in car, or at work for better fast charging, etc). If everything is already fine for you, then just don't enable it.
Enjoy! :highfive:

I was wondering if you'll be adding any new governors (impulse , elementalX) in new updates? Didn't see nothing above that on your. "Never be included"

But yeah, unless we find a miracle governor which boost battery and performs better than stock interactive, then yes, I will add it and maybe even set it as defaut :good:

i feel like home ! Welcome and thanks !!!
Running great on G935F Stock ROM, Rooted and Xposed v86 (with some various low level modules active).
Thanks @lyapota - look forward to seeing your future dev work on this
Very nice kernel. The best ive tryed to my S7 Edge 935F. Thanks and congratulations!!!!!!!!!
Definitely a nice kernel. Smooth and runs cool. Will see what battery life is like after a full charge or so. Thanks heaps @lyapota

OnePlus 6 / Oneplus 6T
Youtube review of Kernel and Avengers theme by @hypergamer1231
Concept
Flash and be happy out of the box!
The kernel provides 4 Spectrum profiles and 3 Franco Kernel Manager profiles (Pie only) for most usecases. Balanced (default) / Battery / Performance / Gaming. For choosing another profile as Balanced please install Spectrum from the Google PlayStore.
If you want to modify the profiles just run a kernelmanager like EX Kernelmanager and change what you want.
First completely unified kernel for the OnePlus 6/6T OOS and Custom ROMs
One unified zImage!!!
To preconfigure the kernel uses a config file made by well known Senior member @xXx
These are the tunables you could modify:
Defaults in [ ]
Profiles battery, balanced, [performance], gaming
SELinux [permissive] / enforced
CPU minimum frequency [300], 403, 480, 576
GPU minimum frequency 180, [257], 342
GPU Input boost off 257 [342]
GPU maximum frequency up to 842 MHz (comes with 710 stock frequenccy set!)
Flickerfree display mod by @Devries (ImageBreaker kernel OP6T), default is off
Governor setting [pixel_smurfutil] or smurfutil_flex
The SmurfKernel configuration file is placed in /sdcard/SmurfKernel: If you want to use the kernel with it's default configuration just flash it!!! For custom changes please edit the SmurfKernelConfigurationEditor by @tanish2k09. The settings are applied saving the config. Your actual configuration is written to smurf.kernel.bootlog.
It's recommended to use my kernel paired with

Governor
pixel_smurfutil
smurfutil_flex
Pixel_smurfutil is a mix between Pixel 3 schedutil, helix_schedutil and electrotuil. Next frequency selection is load based and in suspend all cores are forced to a lower frequency max level. Three big cores are forced to operate at minimum frequency (825 MHz). One big core could clock up to general maximum, 1300 MHz). In normal operation load based frequency selection is used.

Good work tho
Thank you! :good:
What's the difference between the usual schedutil and helix_schedutil?

The difference between all 4 governors is the way how next frequency is selected. Electroutil and pwrutilx are ramping flatter if the device is suspended. Electroutil is cutting max frequency if device is suspended. Check governor settings, you could adjust it. Helix is ramping frequencies different based on load scenario. Lower load, flatter ramp. More battery friendly in my opinion.
For future versions i'll mix a new governor that combines these concepts.

I am really impressed by the kernel, my phone is flying right now! Thank you!
Tested on the dp2? Thanks
What program do I need to manage the Kernel options in OnePlus 6?
Thanks!

You can use Kernel Adiutor or EX Kernel Manager

Ok, I really need good battery life so I'll go ahead and choose Helix. Thanks
@ pappschlumpf
Welcome & thank you.
@pappschlumpf: Thank you for your kernel! I am trying it since about 12 hours. But I have two questions:
1. How can I adjust the "vibration control"? I can't find anything related to "vibration" in Kernel Adiutor
2. I found a setting in Kernel Adiutor under "Misc" which is named "Software CRC control". What does this setting? I can't get the feature behind the setting from the description itself in Kernel Adiutor. Is it a new feature or something that is only deactivated in your kernel?

With Adiutor you dan't have all options. EX Kernel Manager recommended. The plan is to include Synapse support, like i have in in my Note 8 kernel. But that needs some time. There're many options in the OP6 kernel that the Note 8 kernel isn't supporting.
CRC Control disables the crc check for internal memory access. Faster, but well memory errors wouldn't be detected.
It's not a new feature, most kernels for the OP6 support it.

Thank you for your fast answer. So I will have a look at the Ex kernel manager.
The CRC control is a feature which I didn't see in the other kernels I tried. Maybe they are there but not controllable. That's something I can't see.
To make it clear for me: I see the CRC control as disabled (this is the untouched status directly after flashing the kernel). Is this correct or should be the CRC control activated by default?

Yes, faster option, disabled is default. If your memory is working as expected crc is not needed. On an old device with defect mem you may need it
