Hi all,
some of you know me from the Samsung devices area, where I provide my kernels already for more than two years to Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.).
Maybe you also know me from my OnePlus One kernels I added in winter last year to my portfolio.
Finally I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 afew weeks ago and decided to port my kernel also to this device. This is a sponsored device, so I want to say a big thank you to the people that made it possible, namely the ones in the German Smartphone Forum www.hubo.in !!!
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, good existing 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).
For the CM Boeffla-Kernel, please go HERE.
Important notes
When using new anykernel concept Boeffla-Kernel: Flash stock kernel of rom first !
Compatibility
Important: This kernel is only meant to be compatible with official Samsung stock firmware 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 !!
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
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.

Based on latest Samsung sources
Kernel runs with SELinux enforcing by default, just as Samsung stock kernel for S5 - but can be configured to work in permissive mode in Boeffla-Config settings
Knox and Samsung rom security warnings removed
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

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 Galaxy S5 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
a CAF based kernel
anykernel method to use the ramdisk of the installed rom
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 on Samsung Stock, CM12 or CM11 !!!
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 2.1.72 or higher for the Galaxy S5 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
* Yank555
* ktoonsez
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Entropy512
* Faux
* 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!!!

I am sorry, nothing changed in my attitude and golden rules over the past years.
No device, no kernel.
Apart from that, I need to stop adding new kernels now, it just gets too many already. And once I realize quality does drop, I have to stop.
Andi
Thank you,Andi
Thanks to @Lord Boeffla, finally today you've released your awesome kernel. Of course I saw @ZaneZam thanks to you too and I know we might have another version will be compiled and supported. Nice
Hi all,
Great kernel
Works very fine
Check this out...
Thanxxxx to the Lord for the hard work in the last week's
It's hard to access root rights on my device with Stock Deodexed Prerooted Rom. I've flashed Update-SuperSu 2.46 in TWRP, but RootChecker checked with no Root installed on device

Andi, forgive me, does it work on ANG7?
Never mind, Lollipop upwards
Looks good so far on XtreStoLite!
I'm just wondering if you are planing to add full sound configuration options?
Your sound implementation options allowed superb sound on S3 and I guess I'm not the only one missing it on S5
Looking forward to next versions!

Would love to. But it is a completely different sound chip used in the S5, compared to the S3.
And it seems there is no way to get hold of any documentation for it (wdc9230), which would allow us dev to explore more of the chips capabilities.
If you saw a kernel providing more sound options, I am happy to get the information about it and checking if it can be ported. Then we would even know what the audio hub can do and what not...
Or someone can get Qualcomm to hand me over the documentation of their audio hub, then also more is possible. But many devs for sure have tried that in the past years already, so I am not very optimistic.
Andi
Battery friendly seems so good for daily usage at the moment, but Battery Saving with zzmoove / battery yank seems pretty lags. Hope it be implemented some next versions.

Yes, it lags. And it is a hardly battery focussed preset, so it must lag.
That is why you have the choice.

@Tylog: I'm planning to add a sound control maybe faux's maybe not you'll see
Thanks to everyone for your comments!
What is UKSM active and how use this Sir
That's good Faux or whatever, only V4a is not enough for me, I need my music loud thanks.
Linux kernel has a feature named KSM(Kernel SamePage Merging). it lets the hypervisor system share identical memory pages amongst different processes or virtualized guests. However, it has its limitation such like high CPU usage and slow responses to workload change. So here comes UKSM. With a revolutionary algorithm redesign, UKSM has many advanced features:
Full system scan.*It automatically scans all user processes’ anonymous VMAs. Before UKSM, a process need to call KSM kernel API to submit its memory areas to KSM for scan. This makes many legacy software other than KVM can NOT benefit from KSM. Now, UKSM scans whole system applications including KVM. All programs benefit from UKSM without even knowing how it works.
Super quiet CPU usage.*It automatically detects rich areas containing abundant duplicated pages. Rich areas are given a full scan speed. Poor areas are sampled at a reasonable speed with very low CPU consumption usually under 1%. Our benchmarks show that even for CPU intensive workloads, it has a negligible performance impact. Ultra scan speed and CPU efficiency.*A new hash algorithm is proposed. More on this...UKSM info
Thanks!!
Where is allocated UKSM in your kernel and how activate this as I'm using kernel auditor app not seeing anywhere ,only seeing KSM and this is active by default .

Hi my friend.. This is UKSM on Kernel Aduitor (Kernel Same Page Merging), is active by default. Since it saves CPU cycles when merging files and making changes it will save battery and increase overall system performance. No need to activate it.
Thanks for your testing!
Thanks Sir

✯ ✯ ✯ SIGMA KERNEL ✯ ✯ ✯
Description:
sigma Kernel is project inspired from my previous kernels and drivers.
sigma Kernel is shipped with crDroid ROM and this topic is started for discussions only on kernel.
The main objective is to provide max stability without any snake-oil drivers that doesn't add value and to keep minimal footprint.
No extra hotplugs / no OC-UC / no extra governors for good - except for features highlighted below.
This should work on any LOS-based nougat ROM and most AOSP nougat ROMs.
This kernel could have been posted in Nexus 6 Original Development since we have authorship to many fixes and drivers from scratch. However, it will be good to have in same forum as crDroid ROM which comes with this kernel baked.
Highlights:
(This list is not exhaustive.)
All bug fixes from mainstream, Google and CAF
Upstreamed to 3.10.107 stable release
Removed force encryption
F2FS supported
MultiROM supported
Fast charge supported
Faux sound supported
KCAL display driver
Updated and optimized interactive governor (aka Impulse governor)
Highly optimized suspend-resume routines
Faster Idling process (sched)
State Helper driver - auto hotplug when required (low battery, suspended, high temp)
Removed BCL hotplug
Optimized frequency mitigation by BCL and Thermal drivers
Backported 3.18 ext4 updates
Enabled latest sdcardfs from Google
Updated audio codecs
Audio Compress offload improvements
Zen, FIOPS, SIOPLUS, BFQ I/O scheds
IO switcher enabled (auto switched io sched to NOOP when suspended for power saving)
Updated libs from Motorola and mainstream.
Updated RCU from CAF with RCU boost
Improved memory model
Enhanced CPU boost driver with SMP infrastructure with lower load on CPUs
Enhanced CPU bandwidth management from CAF

*** This kernel is now end-of-life and not supported nor actively developed anymore !!! ***
Hi all,
some of you know me from the other OnePlus or Samsung devices areas, where I provide my kernels already for more than five years to OnePlus 5, 3T, 3, 2, one and X, Galaxy S5, S3 and Note 10.1 users for all sort of platforms (Samsung, Cyanogenmod, Omnirom etc.)
Now I own a OnePlus 5T 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, good existing 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 !!
To add: A community build is NOT an official build supported here. If you use a community build and have issues, don't complain or even report.
Important notes
Read first, especially when you are new to my kernels:

Boeffla-Kernel uses the anykernel concept = Flash stock kernel of rom first !
This kernel is ONLY compatible to OxygenOs stock, nothing else !!!
If you are using a custom rom that bases on OxygenOs, it might work. However, if it does not work, do not expect me to do tweak to make the kernel running with your favorite rom. I would not do it - my one and only reference is OxygenOs stock.
It is not supposed to be compatible to CM, HydrogenOS etc.
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.
Important: Manually disable battery optimisation for Boeffla-Config app in the rom settings (battery -> battery-optimisation)
Installation
Read the install instructions in the support section on the Boeffla Site.
Support
First read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app (outdated at the moment).
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse to give support if you do any undervolting/overclocking 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.

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
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 kernel only if you are running a compatible 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 2.5.10 or higher for the OnePlus 5T 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.

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
* eng.st
* flar2
* arter97
* Grarak
* Entropy512
* Faux
* FranciscoFranco
* Ak
* Osm0sis
... 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 !!!

*** 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.

I would assume not, as in title is says OOS 4
---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------
Just flashed, seems that the max brightness is lower, with the display backlight settings unchanged. Apart from that all seems to be good.
Nice to see you here! I have use your kernels starting with Samsung S3 and after that many many devices and always being good!

This is not changed by me. As long as you do not play in the app with the settings, this is 1:1 as in stock kernel.
Anyone else? I mean, nothing is impossible of course.

Not sure if it is the same problem but in the first release of elementalX kernal, whether the brightness dimmer was enabled or not the brightness at maximum was half of what it should have been.
Thanks.

Ok, issue analyzed, confirmed to be a bug.
Bug is fixed and beta2 already compiling. Stay tuned. And thanks for the report.
(BTW it was not the brightness dimmer but a changed brightness range sent by the rom to the kernel, so the min/max limiter was cutting too early)
Thanks

FAQ:
Need Help / Want to Help? Join the my Telegram Channel: @sz_kernel_angler
Is this kernel compatible with Android Pie (9.0)? It should work out of the box, however several users have reported boot freezes / loops on Pie. I haven't had a chance to test it fully in Pie and am still on Oreo myself. If you run into issues, try running with SELinux as permissive or reach out on Telegram.
Nice, gonna give this a run. Kudos for adding detailed instructions on your site.
Nice, was hoping for new kernel a long time
I would like to suggest the "Hima Hotplug" for your kernel, it is so fluid and great on battery life (experience from sphinx kernel for bullhead)

You're welcome. It is as much for me to remember how to do stuff in the future with other devices as anything else. Glad others can benefit from it as well.

just wanted to say solid first public kernel. super smooth
Thank you for the new kernel,so far so good
Smooth so far, great job.
though is it just me or does the Settings app display "Unavailable" under Kernel version? EX Kernel Manager displays the kernel version just fine.
Maybe it has something to do with the presence of spaces in the kernel version name?

Yeah I agree, it is, by no means, a deal-breaker. I just wanted to point it out for newcomers because I sure had a grand time panicking over whether or not the installation went through.
Currently using this kernel with ABC rom, so far the best kernel ever, very smooth and good heat output

This does work on AOSiP. Stock ROM (and maybe others) it does not appear after tapping on "Kernel Version" in settings. As noted, third party apps like EX Kernel Manager and Kernel Auditor seem to display the kernel version correctly.
There are, in fact, spaces in LOCALVERSION in the config file. I'll add this under bugs in the second post and update when it's fixed.
PS: Glad you guys are enjoying it and to hear it runs smooth and cool! Usage stats for the 'battery' spectrum profile are in the updated OP. Testing the 'balance' profile now.
UPDATE 8/1: The 'kernel version' issues has been fixed. Notation is in second post and download link has been updated in OP.
This kernel kicks ass! Seriously, great work. One of my major complaints with the 6P was its over heating and then thermal throttling. I just didn't play certain games because of it. Now, after flashing this kernel it runs smooth and cool and games work again. Unreal. Truly love the way the phone works now. Not bad for battery life either but it's not my primary any more.

Good to hear! Did you use the Gaming spectrum profile? I'm don't use my phone for games so I didn't test that outside of synthetic benchmarks. Also, the Battery spectrum profile should give pretty good battery life as it's very conservative.
Spoiler: I'm working on maybe adding the chill or relaxed governors to test as well.
No profiles, just default settings. I usually run a week or two on default before I mess around just so I can tell the difference in the tweaks.
I might play around but this phone is just for messing about now, picked up the Essential on the Prime deal and quite like it so the 6P is not a daily driver.
Gotcha. FYI the balanced profile is enabled by default.

All the profiles are in my AnyKernel repo on GitHub. There are a total of 30 profiles from around the web even though the Spectrum App only uses those numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3. I include my built kernel zImage-dtb in the AnyKernel repo so that you can clone it yourself and apply a different profile "manually" if you like. Just change the number in ramdisk/init.spectrum.sh, zip it up, and flash it.
Code:
if [ ! -f /data/property/persist.spectrum.profile ]; then
setprop persist.spectrum.profile 0 # change this number
fi
Note, if you use this method, and later select a profile from the Spectrum App, the Spectrum App choice will override the initial one, including after reboot -- because it applies the settings once the user space is reached.
@savagezen thanks! Also, kernel link?? I must be missing it.. Is it in the OP?
