[KERNEL] [10/Q] Galts Gulch Kernel [4.9.206] - Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot

This is a kernel for Q. Can be flashed in FK, sideloaded in booted TWRP, or pushed to /tmp/ and flashed in booted TWRP.
- Q source with upstream Linux kernel 4.9.x merged and elementalX by flar2 merged. Upstream Linux kernel updates merged regularly.
- Many optimizations by sultanxda, kdragon, and many others. Idle frequency scaling also improved.
- HBM, Klapse, KCAL, backlight dimmer, and all features of elementalX. Note: some defaults changed from elementalX, such as CFQ back to default for overall performance, and also reverted the kgsl high priority commits as they do more harm than good.
- Westwood tweaks + set as default.
- Unlike many others, kept LTO and CFI enabled.
- LZMA supported (for twrp installation on Q custom roms)
Installation. For updating, just follow last point:
- Recommend having stock magisk patched boot image prior (magisk will be kept through all updates).
- Flash in FK or EX app using manual flasher, or flash in booted TWRP through one of the methods listed in first sentence.
NOTE: Will work on stock or any AOSP December build. Any LineageOS build or build by Stebomurkn will not work, and if it does, will not be supported.

Check Github.

New build posted, just merged with upstream 4.9.194 released today.

Hey can you get me a boot.img of this? Is that all thats required to flash in fastboot? TWRP isn't working for Android 10, or so I heard...
Thanks!

True, but FKM is more reliable since osm0sis (the guy who made AnyKernel2/3) helped implement the auto flasher in FKM. I'm not sure about the EX one whether osm0sis helped him too or if flar did everything himself.

I was wondering the same.

Can flash but no wifi

Seeing as the AFH/XDA builds were like 10 releases behind, I finally updated on here. Also added a note about LOS or stebomurkn builds.

SaberMod Franco.Kernel | AOSP & (CM testing) | r204 | 1 Apr 14 | Sched-dl | Linux 3.4.84 | GCC 4.8.3 -O3
Introduction
As you may already know, LaboDJ is no longer supporting n4 linaro franco. Therefore, I have decided to continue his work but this time with SaberMod toolchain by @sparksco.
Starting from r204, I will only release 1 build for every franco versions. I don't have time to make 3 different builds anymore.
Features:
- Franco r204 with LaboDJ's Linaro fixes and tweaks
- ofast instead of -o3
- Add faux sound support, and faux sound fixes, YES YOU CAN USE FAUX APP!
- Sched-deadline from mainline (jlelli) , taken from Harkness kernel
There is a full explanation of sched-deadline on Harkness thread.
- Sched improvement commits
- Codel net scheduler
- Prima v3.2.7.47
- F2FS support
- Added frandom driver Linux mainline random driver
- a lot more optimization!
Downloads: AOSP | CM (testing, use it at your own risk), credits to @xtrymind for the CM zip file.

What is sched deadline?
Originally by @Synthetic.Nightmare
Not to be confused with the iosched deadline, Sched_deadline is a scheduling class that implements a real-time CPU scheduling algorithm; EDF (Earliest Deadline First), augmented with a bandwidth isolation mechanism (called Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate the behaviour of tasks between each other. SCHED_DEADLINE allows the CPU to reserve a portion of the CPU time to a specific application very accurately. A key feature is that it ensures "temporal isolation", which means that the temporal behavior of each task (i.e., its ability to meet its deadlines) is not affected by the behavior of any other task in the system. In other words, even if a task misbehaves, it is not able to exploit larger execution times than the amount it has been allocated. When a task tries to execute more than its budget, it is slowed down, by stopping it until the time instant of its next deadline. When, at that time, it is made runnable again, its budget is refilled and a new deadline is computed.

A: I don't answer to problems without a log. The log file is in /proc/last_kmsg. Paste it on pastie.org and link it on your post. Logcats are useless for Kernel purposes, don't bother posting them.
2. This kernel works on Y or X rom?
A: This is one of the worse questions you can ask on my threads. This is a Nexus, it works on every rom you can possibly imagine.
3. OMG BETTARY SUCKZ, IT DEAD IN 45 MINUTAS, HALP!
A: As you can imagine I don't build kernels to decrease battery life. All the battery life problems come from your apps, either Facebook, or Maps, or some Location Service being enabled etc etc. Check your damn wakelocks and fix them, the kernel is not responsible for them.
4. Touch Control doesn't work in rXXX release, you suckas, fix plixe!
A: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a fix, I can tell you I don't have the solution. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you leave now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I ignore you.
From LaboDJ:
5: Can i switch from your kernel to Franco one anytime I want?
A: Yes, you can do it without flash anything.
6: My phone boots normally then the screen goes off and it reboots
A: Known BUG in DMA, don't let the screen goes off until f.ku color are set.
7: I'm on franco Milestone/nighly #xxx how can I flash your kernel?
A: Clear f.ku app data, then flash my kernel.
8: Can I use f.ku (franco.Kernel Updater) with your Kernel?
A: Yes, you can.

Crdroid is CM based, CM has CAF patches merged, this kernel does not have a CAF version.
Btw, thank you for the great kernel xcstacy.
Been using labodj's linaro franco.kernel since 4.3.. I'm glad you continue his work...
Btw just finish flashing the stock sabermod version of yours...after flashing I encounter 1 reboot...i dont know why is that...but now it works like charm.

support for CAF cm11 rom ? before bashing starts just to let you specificperson know that 194 franco kernel messed up color screen so did faux kernel
The only difference is that everytime there is a newer linux kernel version for branch 3.4.x , LaboDJ always upstream it to the latest linux version. Is there any plans to upstream this kernel to version 3.4.71? Thanks.
Flashed test version on PXS v2 and it's working fine.

I will probably do this later because I don't really see a point updating the kernel specifically to latest 3.4.x linux version when the kernel itself already has patches from various linux branches.
But this doesn't mean that I won't update it to latest 3.4.x, just not now

[Kernel][Stock][CAF][05-06] Redmi Note 3 CAF kernel source

Hi,
I recently bought the redmi note 3 and noticed the lack of kernel support, so I decided to share this with you guys:
https://github.com/daeiron/kenzo_caf_kernel
Its a fully functional buildable kernel for stock MIUI.
Changelog:
05-06-2016
- Merge LA.BR.1.3.2_rb3.28
- Fix camera for some?
28-05-2016
- Enable KSM
- Fix fingerprint on 6.5.26 (xiaomi didn't update their kernel source, so have to use fingerprint hal from 6.5.19)
- Update ramdisk
- Other small stuff
21-05-2016
- Merged to LA.BR.1.3.2_rb3.27
- Merged some patches from ido source drop
15-05-2016
- Tested with 6.5.12
- Full kcal support
- Defauls at boot to 400mhz min freq & bfq scheduler
- Fsync toggle
- State_notifier and state_helper (from neobuddy89)
- Backlight dimmer (from flar2)
- A lot of patches and fixes (see git)
04-05-2016
- Merged to LA.BR.1.3.2_rb3.26
- Upstream patched to 3.10.101
- O3 + makefile optimized
- BFQ, Fiops and SIO
- RGB color support (use custom app like kernel adiutor)
- Other patches (see git)
Limitations:
- No color/contrast/reading mode support, seems they didn't release it as part of the kernel
- In kerneladiutor gpu freq displays at 600mhz, this is just a false reading. Check 'cat /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/devfreq/cur_freq' for the real frequency
- If you build the kernel and it won't boot try stock toolchain (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9) with up to this commit e1a8a48e59638c0d24d2214c2a85046068158a08
To build;
- Clone the repo
- Get yourself a toolchain (I use stock google 4.9 up to commit: e1a8a48e59638c0d24d2214c2a85046068158a08)
- Edit user vars in build/build_kernel.sh
- From kernel root run: sh build/build_kernel.sh
- You end up with a flashable zip file in build/dist/
I am planning on keeping the source up to date with CAF and also sync in the latest patches from kernel.org.
Feel free to fork or use, please mention that you did though.
You can find my flashable zip builds here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7XCSgymRoP0ZjJtSkxuS01kYUk
In oneplus one forum, sultanxda build a CM13.0 with CAF kernel and is pretty smooooooooth
Whoah,
Thank you, I was working on the same thing, this will save me a lot of time.
Yay more dev support, maybe in a month I'll figure out the stuff about building kernels and all that
Thanks for this
Thanks m8 great work

[Kernel][Oreo] NiKernel for Pixel/Pixel XL

- STUFF YOU SHOULD READ -
- I'm not responsible if anything goes horribly wrong but I take measure to reduce the risk of this happening.
- Most, if not all, builds are tested by me personally before they are released.
- This kernel is aiming for peak single-core performance and efficiency while maintaining fair multi-core speeds.
- This isn't just some other kernel in my eyes, it might be to you, but I put a lot of interesting changes in the kernel for benefit analysis.
- I'm still quite young in the development field but I try to learn more and to improve my pieces of work.
- I always use the latest kernel on my personal device to be able to find bugs and it makes it easier to fix issues.
- Have fun, compatible with both the Pixel and Pixel XL. (sailfish and marlin respectively)
- FEATURES -
- Up-streamed to Linux 3.18.71 (CAF AOSP branch)
- Sound control (speaker, headphones, mic)
- Dynamic file sync control 2.0 (@LordBoeffla)
- BFQ I/O scheduling
- Westwood+ TCP congestion algorithm
- Removed most CPU governors
- Wakelock blocker (@FranciscoFranco)
- Adreno idler
- ElementalX sleep/wake gestures
Built with love using Linaro 6.4.1

It's not stock, I've been testing things for about a week, it has KCAL, dynamic fsync, backlight dimming, high brightness mode, passes safetynet with SuperSU without SUhide, still working on it and trying to improve some aspects of it.
Edit: Oh, it's also using Linux 3.18.71.

Just like any other kernel
What SuperSu version are you using? I can get the kernel to install, but when I try to install SuperSu version SR3-SuperSu-v2.82-SR3-20170813133244, it goes back to the stock kernel.

SuperSU 2.82 SR4, also I recommend reflashing the stock boot image before installing the kernel, then installing SuperSU. It's confusing but it's a quirk SuperSU has.

It's not really a bug but when you flash SuperSU it creates a backup of the stock boot image. When you flash a kernel and reflash SuperSU, it restores the stock image first basically wiping the custom kernel. The only fix is flashing the stock boot.img for your device in fastboot or TWRP, then installing the kernel and SuperSU.

Same happened with ElementalX kernel but when I installed elementalX with SR4 supersu, things are fine. So it may not be your kernel. I may try your kernel over the weekend with SR4 kernel next week.
Version 2017-09-23:18 is up with several improvements overall to the GPU, battery, CPU, and audio.

[KERNEL][6+] s1mple espresso

I don't like large threads. My old espresso needs an up, so where we go.
It's based on latest omap4 common by unlegancy-android with these changes:
Compiled with custom Linaro GCC by @Christopher83.
CPU underclocked to 200MHz and overclocked up to 1400MHz.
GPU overclocked up to 512MHz. (384 default)
Custom voltages based on user experience.
Touch boost from franco kernel. (default boost set to 1200MHz)
Mini-FAQ:
Q: It works on all ROMs? Nougat?
R: It should work on any recent ROM who use omap4 common by unlegancy-android.
Q: All variants?
R: Due compatibility issues it could be not work on some devices/combinations, test it.
If won't work, please provide the variant, ROM, TWRP and last_kmsg if possible.

Q: Is safe 1400MHz on espresso?
R: Yes, passed my stability tests without problems.
Q: Works with ramdisk mods? (Magisk)
R: Yes, by AnyKernel2.
Code:
Change CPU max clock:
# echo 'x' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
x = 1080000, 1200000, 1300000, 1400000
Change GPU max clock:
# echo 'x' > /sys/devices/platform/omap/pvrsrvkm.0/sgxfreq/frequency_limit
x = 153600000, 384000000, 512000000

Yeah, tested with latest Lineage 14.1, however, I found an issue about frequency scaling, it boots with max frequency of 300MHz :laugh:
But you can change it using adb/terminal later.
New build up :fingers-crossed:
Now it's compiled with custom Linaro GCC by @Christopher83
Added touch boost from franco kernel :highfive: (interactive governor only, configurable)
Removed 200MHz in attempt to fix frequency scaling issues
OP updated.
Installed latest OmniRom 6 booted and then installed S1mple kernel. Left it to boot for 1 hour and it never booted. turned off and tried again, not luck.
re-installed my AICP backup.
Might try it with Slim6 when I have some time, but would prefer an unrooted rom since I use netflix.

Doesn't magisk hide solve the Netflix problem? It should actually...
(sorry for the OT)
-------------------------------
Thanks @dcastro172 a new custom kernel sounds like fun, would be very cool to have something more or less stable with this significant OC added, I'll need to check this out when I'm near to my p5110 soon.. :good:

Did you try with Andi's builds or from official Omni website? espresso3g or wifi? It will only work with recent Andi's builds, I'm running it and works well.
Doesn't boot on latest lineageOS and needs restoring boot & system to get back a working device, here's a demsg.log....

"OT response to close": Only been able to get netflix to work by sideloading on ROM that is unrooted no gapps .
Magisk 16 has been problematic for me. 14 was okay. I would use magisk 14 to root to enable OC on s1mple kernel.

There's something very important which I'm missing, probably a very stupid issue since it works on my P5110, I read the dmesg and didn't see much useful logs, tomorrow I will investigate more. Thanks guys.

FYI, I have a P3113,
The newer (maybe 2018) are default libion and it is said not to flash any custom kernels as they are not compatible.... So is this the reason some people have some trouble?
Excellent! Finally a overclockable kernel for our devices! Thank you very much Mr. dcastro172! Will test and report here ASAP!

Well, recent ROMs with updated repos from unlegancy/lineageos builds with standard libion by default, my fork will only work with standard libion, some outdated ROMs use TI's libion and will not work, I think it's not the issue since @Skarni tried with latest OmniROM from @Android-Andi (which use standard libion) and won't worked for his P3113 while my P5110 woks perfectly.
And the dmesg from @Sam Nakamura is not much useful why it's from his reboot after the bootloop, I thought it has a SELinux issue but it's not, however I looked at second line and it looks like an old official build:
Code:
<5>[ 0.000000] Linux version 3.0.101-gbb24628 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.8 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 9 09:46:13 UTC 2017
I'm trying figure it by looking at unlegancy/lineageos commits if I'm missing something but no luck yet.

Make sure do a backup why people are running in boot issues, if you run in boot issue please take a "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg.txt" in TWRP terminal.

Not sure why the log referenced this old build, as said before I'm actually on the latest official lineageOS build from 11th February 2018 as seen on the screenshot.
I gladly provide more logs if you tell me exactly what could be of use for you...
Edit: the referenced kernel version is the one included in TWRP, check the build dates from official twrp.me and the log reference....

Oh, this should explain, but you was using a different kernel when you flashed it?

[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)
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.

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
