This particular kernel arose out of frustration at the lack of choices that T-Mobile and Canadian S6 users have when flashing ported roms with the GraceUX UI and it would not have been possible without the original source posted by @Greck99 .
Feature-wise, this is the same exact kernel included in Noble Experience; however, it has been built against a W8 configuration and uses a stock ramdisk that has been modified solely for the purpose of booting hybrid ports.
Yes, blue light filter works. So does AOD (no touch for now)
Pair this kernel with the call audio fix for grace ux for the complete Noble Experience (or whatever GraceUX port you desire) on T/W8
Suggestions and feedback are welcome. Feature requests may be considered if I determine them to be useful enough to include
Thanks to:
@Greck99 & @Noxxxious for this awesome source
@AlexisXDA for making killer roms and something to be envious of
@The Sickness for his continued work on our devices and for all his contributions
@arter97 for hybrid ramdisk commits
And the Nexus7420 team in general.
I am not responsible for your device, you are.
This kernel should work for both T-Mobile and Canadian devices,
though has only been tested on a G920W8.

Interesting.. Did you flash SU after?
Edit: It also may be necessary to wipe dalvik if you are flashing this coming from Arter. I have flashed this on two different W8s without issue, so I'm fairly certain it works
No! So sorry! Did not think about flashing su because my rom already has it installed. I'll try again next time when I flash

Great kernel! Thanks to the developers for their hard work.
One question, even though you said no AOD, would you consider it as a feature request?

The main issue I have with AOD is the massive battery drain. Even with it not enabled in the kernel, the AOD app still drains battery. I actually trimmed it from my rom.
The other issue is that the only kernel I'm aware with the AOD feature is TN kernel, which the developer has chosen not to share his source.

Yeah, you're right. My only issue is I'd love to try out AOD even it drains my battery, since tn kernel brakes call function.. So if you have a test build, I'd gladly try it out
Its nice to have more choices anyway! Thanks a lot. :victory:

What groundwork did arter97 do? We should credit Samsung for giving us the proper bootclasspath instead.
And btw AOD is working
Thanks for making this kernel available on other models. When you need help or have feedback about the kernel PM me.

I used his commits for building the ramdisk, would've probably taken a lot more trial and error without them -- they aren't documented clearly anywhere else to my knowledge (and to be fair, not all of what he ships in the n7 kernel is required in the ramdisk for booting). Most kernel authors don't include their ramdisks in the source they post. Sure I could've decompiled the ramdisk shipped with Noble Experience and reverse engineered it, but that's not what I did. I just wanted to give credit for the path I took regardless of my opinions regarding those whose steps I followed.
I just noticed a slurry of new commits in the upstream branch which I pulled into my fork earlier today and built a test build for myself. I will be releasing it once I've had a bit of chance to test things out and make sure all is working :good: So far things are running great for me.
Thank you very much for the work you've done and for sharing your source. The blue light filter is the real cream for me here as the overlay in cf.lumen causes lag for me. It is greatly appreciated by myself and all the others with our device. I could've just taken a stock kernel and started from scratch, but this is oh-so-much better than that!
Kernel Updated to Version 3
This update is largely a merge with up upstream source. Kernel is feeling very smooth, and in addition AOD drivers have been added and most of the kinks have been worked out.
Kernel is now using a custom built dt.img for AOD support which has not been tested for edge devices (though the reboots never affected them). I see no reason why it shouldn't work, please let me know if it causes any catastrophic failures!
Edit: V3 Image for G925T/W8 has been re-uploaded as of 1:05pm PST. Fixes for call audio regarding the custom dt.img -- removed it as it's not needed.

@lizaSB nice work. I see now that I have some compitition lol. JK.
Glad to see some fresh blood here on the kernel side.
Works beautifully on my G920T (XAR). Thanks OP! One thing though: I would suggest highlighting the note that installing SuperSU immediately afterwards is mandatory to make it more easily seen as the device wouldn't boot without it...

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.

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?

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.

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)
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 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.

Min/Max Brightness options is now configurable as well, to avoid the screen go too dim or to bright.
Somehow camera has been fixed! haha

Reserved
Looks awesome! I'll give it a try soon!
(For anyone wondering about overclocking the CPU, he committed some changes to the github that would apply this and it should appear in the next revision of the kernel.)
Just installed and so far it's buttery smooth.

I'm glad is running fine for you!
Good stuff, thanks for this! Could you tell me a little more about cultivation? I can't seem to find much information online about it
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

After flashing and rebooting, my device keeps on restarting and does not boot into the OS. Downloaded the .zip twice to make sure that the file didn't get corrupt when downloading. This looks like an amazing kernel and can't wait to use it once this issue is hopefully fixed.

The download link was not updated however it showed me the updated file (https://sourceforge.net/projects/kintsugi-reborn/files/kintsugi-reborn-stable#2.10-2.zip/download) but unfortunately flashing the new file did not fix the issue. But thank you for the time you took trying to fix it, hopefully you could find the root cause soon. Is there any logs or anything that I could provide to assist?

Hello, unfortunately I am still facing the same issue. I noticed in your credits it said "@Geckyn for their great work in achieving the Exynos 7885's kernel compilation with Clang" however my A30 has got an Exynos 7904, could this be the root cause?

7904 runs same board as 7885.
Excellent kernel
After several days of using it, it doesn't present any bug and everything is going very well.
how to install? I get error:1 on twrp
Just a bootloop a305f, not good
Is there any android 11 GSI version of this kernel?
×Bluetooth not work×
