Frequently Asked Questions -
Q ) I like this kernel, can I be a part and contribute to this project ?
It takes many hours to maintain this kernel, If you are a user then donations are appreciated. If you want to contribute to development then you can create your pull requests on my github or pm me with your patch.

Q ) I flashed this kernel, what next ? How and where do I configure kernel related settings ?
Recommended app is Radon kernel control, it offers very easy to use custom profile based tweaking, you may check post #3 for some tuning tips if you like to tune kernel settings yourself.

Q ) Read mode in miui is not working after flashing this kernel ?
Xiaomi hasn't provided the opensource code for this feature, so read mode is not going to work on custom kernels, but you can try going into display tab of radon kernel control app and make a custom profile with R,G,B(254,234,195) and saturation 40 for very similar experience to miui read mode.

Q ) My fingerprint doesn't work, what to do ?
Kenzo comes with two different sensors, fpc and goodix, all nougat roms have fixed support for both sensors, but if you use miui rom and you have goodix sensor then you might need to flash the patch from post #6196.

Q ) I flashed this kernel, but I want to return to my stock kernel, how to do that ?
If you read flashing instructions in first post, you will see that I asked you to make backup of boot and system partitions before flashing my kernel, now you can restore that backup and you will have your stock kernel back. In case you didn't take a backup, just dirty flash your rom zip without wiping data and that will restore stock kernel and modules.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q ) How much battery backup does this kernel give ? Will it give me x hours of SOT ?
The battery backup depends a lot on your usage, like screen brightness, wifi, 3g/4g data. Changing your kernel or rom will not make battery backup double. If you are just wifi user, your device can give 9+ hrs screen on time. Heavy 3G, 4G, Bluetooth users shouldn't expect huge battery backup. Regarding battery consumption when display is off, I normally lose 2% battery for about 8-9 hours of standby, but if you you keep wifi and data off in night, then you should get 0-1% drain per night.

Kernel tuning tips -
Cpu -
Governor: Interactive for all kind of users, select battery/balanced/gaming mode while installing according to your need, balanced and gaming modes are totally smooth but battery mode might have little lags.
Users who wish to further push battery backup can try using relaxed cpu governor on small cluster, reducing max frequency of small cluster will also improve battery backup.
By default, I use these min cpu frequencies 691Mhz (small cluster) and 883Mhz(big cluster), there is also 400Mhz option but I don't recommend using that since it saves negligible battery.
Input boost and touch boost should be kept on by balanced/gaming users, battery biased users can consider turning them off.
Memory -
Adaptive lmk should be enabled by all users
Z-RAM 512MB with at least 40 swappiness
Z-RAM will increase battery consumption a little bit
Keep Z-RAM off if you need extra battery backup
IO Scheduler -
FIOPS for good performance and battery
Read ahead at least 512 KB on both internal and external
Screen -
Adjust this yourself, I don't know what you like.
Gpu -
Adreno idler - only battery biased users should keep this on.
Adreno boost - gamers or performance biased users should keep this on.
Misc -
Fsync -Enabled for more stability, disabled for more performance.
Vibration intensity - I use 60, select whatever you like here.
Note - All settings are compatible with Radon kernel control.

I am using RADON Kernel From very first Build and to be honest ,
RADON is Awesome In Performance , Super Smooth and Fully Stable Kernel.
It Rocks Redmi note 3 Development :highfive:

Pls add Exfat support

Please consider adding color control and Intel gov and if possible Westwood TCP algorithm, since data is not stable in bsnl sim and radio of our device is also not perfect it would be useful.

Hello!
I want to introduce my first custom kernel for the ZTE Axon 7. 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 .
We'll have two kernels one based off LOS sources and will try to have updated with each and every commit that is submitted and the other one will be Stock ZTE sources based. If you want to request for specific features, let me know and i'll do my best to bring them over.
Special Features:
BLX (Battery Longevity eXtender) added, check Post#2 for instructions.
Updated to lastest LOS Stock Kernel
Added a few governors like: lionfish / despair / darkness / blu_active / wheatley / ironactive and bioshock
added a few IO Schedulers: Tripndroid / Zen / SioPlus / VR
Kcal Color Control driver
USB Fast Charge
SafetyNet Patch (Bypass bootloader unlocked check)
Dynamic Fsync control
a little Overclock
Motorola Quickwake
Extended battery charge time from 30s to 100s
and manny other small fixes (you can check the commits in the sources)
Download
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you use this and brick your device or if your device blows up, implodes, flames start shooting from it or it kills your neighbor's dog. Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible.... It was the other guy... I swear....
Latest STOCK Release: AX7Kernel-STOCK-R9

How to Bypass SafetyNet bootloader and/or root checks
* If comming from a clean flash of ROM or GAPS only do the following:
Magisk Approach
Flash the UnSu file from HERE
Flash my latest Kernel
Flash the latest Magisk from this thread:
Donwload Magisk Manager from the Playstore
Enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager
Profit, SafetyNet Checks will pass, all green!
SuperSU Approach
Flash the UnSu file from HERE
Flash my latest Kernel
Flash the latest SuperSU from this thread:
Donwload RootSwitch APP from HERE
Unpack the zip and install the apk inside it
Open Root Switch and disable root
Profit! SafetyNet checks will all be green!
Battery Life Extender (BLX) feature
In order to configure the cap you'll have to navigate to:
Code:
/sys/class/misc/batterylifeextender/charging_cap_level
edit the file and put the cap you want the battery to charge to, i won't recommend setting a cap lower than 90% cause then the phone could abruptely stop a fast charging cycle and damage your battery. If you want to have your phone charging to 100% just put 100 in the file and close it. No need to reboot, just plug and unplug your charger.
On a side note, this value will be set at 97% after every boot. So you'll need to manually change it back to 100.

AX7Kernel Changelogs:
AX7Kernel R9 - 03/22/2017
Updated Source with ZTE Changes in B19 source code.
AX7Kernel R8 - 03/17/2017
Fixed NFC issue with B19 builds.
Updated WLAN driver to LA.UM.5.5.r1-03800-8x96.0 github from CAF
Fixed the SDCard error shown in R8 version from 03.16
AX7Kernel R8 - 03/16/2017
Updated to newest B15 Source dropped by ZTE a few days ago. This is mainly a Maintenance Update. Keep in mind the Kernel works with 7.1.1 but it breaks NFC, will be fixes most likely until a new sources is dropped by ZTE.
AX7Kernel R7 - 03/16/2017
For both STOCK and LOS Based versions. Upstream Linux Kernel to 3.18.45 thanks to jcadduono patches.
AX7Kernel R6 - 03/03/2017
Cap for battery charging set back to 100% by deffault. BLX Settings, you want to change them, refer to this POST and to this POST. If you want to extend your battery's life think about adding the cap to a 95 or 97%
Fixed the issue where the phone won't go into deep sleep at all.
WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT MODE is enabled by default now.
AX7Kernel R5 - 03/01/2017
Cap for battery charging set to 97% by deffault. BLX Settings, you want to change them, refer to this POST and to this POST. Your battery won't charge beyond 97%.
Added options to manipulate thermal settings, now you can choose when the phone will throtle the CPU or when to start shutting down cores to prevent damage. My recommendation don't push it too high or your phone might get damaged due to the high temps. It's not set to 60 Celcius so i recommend lowering that to avoid damage.
Added WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT MODE ( you'll need EX Kernel manager to get this, it's paid app but it's totally worth it guys)
Enabled the option to 'disable' some wakelocks. Disable them on your own risk. Wakelocks that can be disabled are: Bluedroid, wlan_rx, wlan_ctrl, wlan, IPA_WS, wlan_extscan_wl_ws, qcom_rx_wakelock_ws - You'll also need EX Kernel manager to get this options.
AX7Kernel R4 - 02/24/2017
Renamed both the Folder and Kernel zip file to appoint to the version. Now we'll have 2 versions, LOS and Stock AX7Kernel, make sure to check the zip name correctly to avoid issues when cross flashing kernels. All LOS/RR/AOKP and other LOS Based kernels will have the word LOS in it.
Fixed BLX feature. It should now properly stop the charging process when the battery has reached the cap_level set by users. Charge will resume once the charge drops from the cap assigned.
AX7Kernel R3 - 02/21/2017
Added one more step of OC (pushed just a little bit further)
Added my own and really simple implementation of BLX (battery life extender) based on the work made by bedalus for the OP3 and OP3T
AX7Kernel R2.3 - 02/17/2017
Updated to latest LOS Stock Kernel
Disabled some debugging
fixes to ZEN ioScheduler - highly recommended now.
Disabled color inversion in Kcal - can't be used anyways.
Fixed USB Fast Charge - Should worl properly now.
GPU OverClock - 684MHZ max frequency now.
Adreno Boost added and enabled (should boost GPU a bit)
Updates to interactive governor (should work better when operation are in the background and screen is off - music streaming is an example.
Changes to the Sync
Changes to Random function for IO ops.
Updates to Zram.
AX7Kernel R1 - 02/13/2017:
Updated to latest LOS Stock Kernel
Added a few governors like: lionfish / despair / darkness / blu_active / wheatley / ironactive and bioshock
added a few IO Schedulers: Tripndroid / Zen / SioPlus / VR
Kcal Color Control driver
USB Fast Charge
SafetyNet Patch (Bypass bootloader unlocked check)
Dynamic Fsync control
a little Overclock
Motorola Quickwake
Extended battery charge time from 30s to 100s

Link will still redirect to R7 , androidfilehost is conducting a server maintenance. Once completed I'll upload R8 to the usual file location!
EDIT: STOCK R8 has been uploaded. Again, keep in mind this release is not fully compatible with 7.1.1 it breaks NFC, until we get an updated source it will remain as is.
Happy Flashing!

Yeah i'm sorry, i had to take it down. Forgot to add the exfat module and that breaks SDCard support. Will work on this tomorrow morning and will reupload then. For now R7 is there

So this is a kernel for the stock firmware?? I have b19 unfortunately so I can't test, 1 thing I surely want you to add on the b19 version if you make one, aside from all these cool features is f2fs support please make it happen.

In case if you're interested about why I'm asking for f2fs, I am doing so to dualboot my stock b19 using @sbr method , unfortunately stock is ext4 and secondary can't be f2fs because it takes part in data, both either have to be f2fs or ext4
it's a bit complicated >_>

Why is f2fs so important to people. Back in the day, yes, it was an improvement in speed. Now, with today's storage speeds, it's performance is negligible yet people still demand for it. Doesn't it just complaints things now?

Exactly what I was thinking too.

Feeling the same. It won't hurt to have support tough. I'll try to add it but I'm afraid it could break the anykernel aprox ah since the support needs to be added Ramdisk wise and for that I'll need to move away from the current kernel approach.
I'll take a look at the lazy flasher scripts from jcadduono to check if I can patch whatever Ramdisk user has

Finished the R8 build... It was a PITA to fix find the fix for SDCARD issue (it was kinda silly what was breaking it lol). Also updated WLAN driver to CAF LA.UM.5.5.r1-03800-8x96.0 version published yesterday and fixed the damn NFC in 7.1.1 builds (this most likely break NFC in 7.0 builds). I'm sorry if you are still in 7.0 and need NFC, move on! ..
I'll push the update once android file host is out of maintenance (around 30 mins from now).
As to F2FS i have enabled the driver in the kernel and stock ramdisk supports data as F2FS so i'm assuming it should work. Although i don't use so if it doesn't i won't fix it
EDIT: LINK IS UP!

I'm not sure if I'm just blind, but I cannot find the link anywhere
EDIT: The file is there, found it in AFH over LOS version's thread. It's here: link removed

Download the bootstack of the firmware you have and flash it.

So does the stock version suffer from video playback issue like freeza's kernal?

Recompiled & Optimized Werewolf Kernel [SM-T211]

Hi!
I was looking through @laufersteppenwolf's kernel source and noticed it was compiled with -Os flag and an old toolchain. I decided to recompile it with graphite and -Ofast flags (the highest optimization level) and with a newer toolchain. Though the later failed (All builds with 4.9+ toolchains failed to boot on this device ) it still feels faster than the original build. I have also disabled some debugging options so that the kernel would fit in the boot partition in addition to some performance gain.
Features
Compiled with graphite and -Ofast flags (linaro 4.7.4)
Undervolted Wi-Fi, Vibration, LCD and Touch by 10% (Not sure if they're effective or not)
Disabled some debugging options
Added a lower charging current level (1700mA) to fast charge options (To reduce heating during charge but must be selected by user, Default is 1800)

Hey guys
As you already might have read in either the CM11 dev thread or the Q&A section, I am working on a custom kernel for our T210(R) and T211. It's still in a pretty early stage, but the current build is fully stable, so I thought why not share it
As I'm pretty new to this community, a few words about myself: My (only) device I have been working on is the LG Optimus 4x HD, for which I also made a custom kernel (also named werewolf kernel, who would have thought of that ). Me and 2 other fellow RDs were able to "switch" many blobs with the ones from grouper, which fixed many, many issues we were facing in 4.4 with the stock 4.1 blobs. I am the official maintainer of namelessROM and vanir for the 4x HD, and am also compiling GummyROM, LegoROM, unofficial CM 11 (using grouper blobs) and SlimKat for the 4x HD on a nightly base. And as soon as we have a proper device tree for our tab, I'm sure I can port the Tab3 to all those ROMs
Now, enough chit chatting, let's talk about the kernel
It's based on @ketut.kumajaya's blackhawk kernel (thanks again, mate ) From v004 on we are based on official KitKat sources, with some additions such as:
Features:
Various network tweaks
Entropy tweaks
I/O speed improvements
cortex a9 and neon omtimizations
Added frandom
Tweaked vm dirty ratios
Dynamic read-ahead values
Added I/O schedulers: ROW, SIO, BFQ, FIOPS, V(R)
Optimized AES and SHA1 routines
Added CPU governors: Lionheart, Adaptive, Intellidemand, Hotplug, Hyper
Reduced RAM usage from logger
Updated lowmemkiller
Overclocked to 1.420 GHz by default
Disabled vsync for better 2D performance
Overclocked GPU up to 624MHz (default 416MHz)
Custom user voltage control (CPU)
Undervolted by default (-25mV)
S2W and DT2W (WIP)
Fast Charging
KSM
Bugs:
You tell me!
Installation:
Download the kernel from HERE
Reboot into recovery (recommended to make a nandroid)
Flash the kernel zip
Recommended to wipe /cache
Reboot and enjoy!
And remember to remove phservice if you want to change some CPU/GPU settings yourself
Notes:

Tweaking Guide
laufersteppenwolf said:
Since v002, we have an updated lowmemorykiller. It behaves a bit snappier than the old one, also with the default minfree values. However, in case you like to tweak your device a bit to make it even more snappy (like me ), I tweaked the minfree values a bit to slightly increase the free RAM without really affecting the multitasking experience. The script can be found in the attachment. All you need to do is to extract the script and place it in your /system/etc/init.d/ folder and that's it. The values will be automatically set on boot.
UV interface
The min possible voltage is 1000mV for now, and the max one is 1400mV. If you want me to lower the min voltage, please let me know.
Also, please note, that the voltage has to be changed in 12.5mV steps. If you apply for example 1110mV, it will be rounded down to 1100mV.
Fast Charge interface
The main interface is inside /sys/kernel/fast_charge/*
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge (rw)
0 - disabled (default)
1 - use custom mA configured through the sysfs interface (see below)
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/ac_charge_level (rw)
rate at which to charge when on AC (1.8A to 2.3A)
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/usb_charge_level (rw)
rate at which to charge when on USB (0.5A to 1.0A)
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/failsafe (rw)
0 - disabled - allow anything up to 2.3A to be used as AC / USB custom current (USE WITH CAUTION!)
1 - enabled - behaviour as described above (default)
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/version (ro)
display fast charge version information
New kmsg layout
From v008 onwards the kmsg looks a tiny bit different. Instead of displaying the time since boot, it logs the actual time and date.
Now, you may ask yourself: "does that any good?" Sure it does. When you encounter an issue and grab a log, you can send it my way saying "the issue happened at 15:35". It is way harder to find out the exact time (in seconds) since the device booted, right?

Hi!
I was looking through @laufersteppenwolf's kernel source and noticed it was compiled with -Os flag and an old toolchain. I decided to recompile it with graphite and -Ofast flags (the highest optimization level) and with a newer toolchain. Though the later failed (All builds with 4.9+ toolchains failed to boot on this device ) it still feels faster than the original build. I have also disabled some debugging options so that the kernel would fit in the boot partition in addition to some performance gain.
Features
Compiled with graphite and -Ofast flags (linaro 4.7.4)
Undervolted Wi-Fi, Vibration, LCD and Touch by 10% (Not sure if they're effective or not)
Disabled some debugging options
Added a lower charging current level (1700mA) to fast charge options (To reduce heating during charge but must be selected by user, Default is 1800)

Great! Did you upload your source?
I had been working on it to compile with GCC 8, but haven't got enough time to complete the cherry picks

It's on github but I didn't link to it cause it's messy. BTW There is no source code change aside from makefile and defconfig.

BTW, that link is blocked in India, can you upload it somewhere else? and also, cna you provide link to your source?

Sorry for late reply, I'm busy with my thesis these days. I've attached the file to the post. Will send you a link to the source (GitHub) in your PV.

Great! Finally something new for T211/0. Love to see some movement here.

Tried installing on a T210 with TRWP but get an error message. Anyone any ideas?
Tried to attach the error but it won't let me... Error talks about asset failed getprop ro.product.device == lt023g etc

@Samw13
SM-T210 = lt02 wifi Tab
SM- T211 = lt02_3g Tab

So, i have deleted requirement in update-script file and kernel seems to work correctly on t210.
Here's link to edited kernel: https://www.upload.ee/files/10238882/kernel-SM-T210-werewolf-Ofast-UV.zip.html

Is it fully stable on SM-T211??. Is it the final version??

Hi,
@mat1371,
@lol28
Thank you for the kernel for T210R. Stable, overclocked to 1.42Ghz. I have an issue with the settings I make, they don't stick after reboot. I used kernel adiutor, EX kernel manager, Performance tweaker. I have busybox installed.
I've flashed Powerdaemon.disable.zip from Gr8nole, still the same.
Edit:
I've found Gr8nole's suggestion about deleting /system/bin/phservice. I deleted the file, rebooted, changed to governor to lionheart. It seemed to keep the settings.
Thanks!

[size=+2]CHANGELOGS & ADDITIONAL INFO[/size]
Because I will not be updating this thread regularly you can keep an eye out on the original kernel thread from beryllium for changelogs and more updated info.
Original updated thread for additional info: here
Changelogs: here
Frequently Asked Questions: here
[size=+2]INSTRUCTIONS[/size]
1. Have a clean setup. (rom, boot.img & vendor)
2. Install magisk & reboot to rom.
3. Reboot to recovery (clean) flash the kernel & DON'T wipe dalvik/cache. (wiping cache will give bugs in MIUI and most likely give you the app open delay bug)
4. Power on the device and boot to android.
These steps only need to be repeated if you update your setup.

@thanas Had a reboot today and I have attached a log cat. I believe it was around 16:48. It may not have been kernel related but wanted to share with you in case it was. I was part of the testing guys on telegram. Hope it helps. Running havoc 2.7

Runs smooth
Flashed this kernel 10hrs ago with new xiaomi.eu 9.7.11 and had no issues so far.
Good work, keep it up and thank you for your effort.
Heres some Antutu and Geekbench scores.

thk !!! Best Kernel !!!

haha didnt expect this warm welcome. thank u guys, constantly improving. make sure to read the faq.
i will mention the most important things though.
if facebook opens slower than half a second dont ever wipe cache because there is an app open speed bug which makes apps open even slower than stock kernel, otherwise it is extremely fast.
never wipe cache for miui as well otherwise you face even more bugs.
dont use viper4audio because it makes scores suffer. neither use LKT nor lspeed because you will get bugs.
also evaluation thermals are not anymore on by default.
read the faq despite.
hope everyone enjoys. thanks

I experience charging disconnections.

DOWNLOAD KERNEL ZIP
FKM download configs: oos | custom
(No mirrors please)​
Setup and troubleshoot: To install just flash the zip on a stock setup with either TWRP or autoflash kernel app.
If you come from other kernel or have any issues, you should restore your stock boot.img or dirty flash your ROM before flashing blu_spark zip to avoid problems. Also uninstall or clean data of any kernel control app you're using.
If you are upgrading between blu_spark versions, just flash the kernel zip.
About bugs and reports: don't bother to post if a log isn't ready or without steps so the behavior can be replicated. I only active support stock OOS ROM with NO mods whatsoever (apart from root). That includes NO support if using xposed, Magisk with added modules, etc.
If you're using custom ROMs (including stock based ones) and OOS Open Betas you're much on your own. I'm mostly interested on debugging stuff in stock and stable OOS.
Also try not to spam the thread with OT. There's threads for all kind of stuff, use them.
Going back to stock: This kernel installer doesn't change your filesystem. You can backup your boot.img with TWRP or kernel app before flashing blu_spark if you want to go back to full stock or just dirty flash your full ROM.

blu_spark r12 release
All right crew!
It's that time again, 1st build is up :highfive:
This kernel source is unified for OP8/Pro, don't know how it will run in the regular model (can only test in the Pro). Let me know.
At the moment we're maybe at 80% of the usual goodies, get a nice and stable base and go from there.
I'm building with clang currently got some hiccups with gcc. I'll probably revisit this in the future but it will need more TLC.
You can now use FKM download kernel feature, just import the links bellow in the app :highfive:
blu_spark_r12release
FKM download configs: oos | custom
Build with latest Google Clang version 11.0.2 (Android 11) - blu_gcc may come in the future, needs som TLC
Synchronize codes for OnePlus 8 Oxygen OS 10.5.9.IN21AA and OnePlus 8 Pro Oxygen OS 10.5.10.IN11AA
Build errors and warnings fixes
Compiling improving and target optimizations
Goodies: IO and filesystem stuff, priorities and UX, touchboost, zram, wakelock blocker, haptic and gestures level, adrenoboost, etc
wireguard updates (v1.0.20200611)
init adjust for sdm8250
AnyKernel3 latest updates

ur kernel is great for daily use when I have 6t, it's fast, smoot, and stable. do u plan to build one for oneplus 8?

Great to see your blu-spark here! Kudos

Great job! Any list of the best settings to activate for your kernel in FKM? Can't manage to activate westwood TCP method, it gets stuck to reno, for example. Or any config file to have the best settings selected, maybe? Sorry, I'm not too familiar with FKM yet.

Hey there, welcome. Nice to see you here.
Just one question, why are so many features listed in the OP and many or most not in the sources on GitHub? Isn't this a copy paste error?

it's not working on regular 8

After installing this kernel I'm getting an option to boost GPU clock to 900 MHz. This also resulted in a much higher compute score. Is this normal? @eng.stk

You probably still have custom dtb from the kernel that have gpu oc, since this kernel doesn't replace the dtb and you switched kernels without keeping that in mind you ended up with mixed kernel images and dtbs.

So, how is that much GPU OC possible? that's almost double the stock max frequency!
EDIT: You were right, it was from "Evira Kernel". Now my question is, is that much OC safe? That's insane.
Do note that my device didn't get hot when I was running the benchmark even at 900 MHz.

At the bootloader unlock screen, after a few seconds, the text turns green and has black lines through it, when it finishes booting, by the screen goes completely black. Vibration and sound still work though. Have to force power off and back to TWRP to restore stock boot.
