For Galaxy S6 920 F / I / S / K / L / T / W8 For Galaxy S6 925 F / I / S / K / L / T / W8
For Lollipop 5.1.1 only!
UniKernel Features
- Supports F / I / S / K / L / T / W8 variants of 920 AND 925 devices
- Supports 920FS, ID and SD Dual SIM devices
- All edge screen special functions on Edge devices working
- Built from official Samsung Sources
- Full init.d scripting support
- SE Linux set to permissive (will prevent private mode from working)
- Stock Clocks
- Fully working Auto-Root for all 5.1.1 roms
- BusyBox injection if not detected in ROM
- DriveDroid support
- CIFS / FUSE
Kernel Configuration
The TWRP flashable kernel now comes with an Aroma installer, allowing you to choose a configuration you prefer. It also comes with 3 preset options - Stock, Performance, and Battery.
The Stock preset will make the kernel behave exactly as a stock kernel - no turbo mode, CFQ scheduler, stock interactive
If no pre-existing configuration file is found on the phone, (ie - New ROM flash) the ODIN flashable kernel will also have stock behaviour.
Every Aroma option is clearly labelled with an accurate description of what the setting will change. You are free to reflash to change configurations or manually edit the /system/unikernel.prop file that is generated by the installer (and then reboot). If you choose either the performance or custom options and enable Turbo mode, do not post in this thread about poor battery life. Turbo mode costs battery. deal with it

Okay tried on the Canadian 920W8 and no call audio and Network Settings gets replaced with Sim Card Manager. LTE icon doesn't show anymore but data works!

Yeah, to be expected. the defconfig in the kernel sources I used was specific to the international versions only. I will need to download the sources for the T variant (and maybe W8) and examine them for file differences and defconfig differences. gonna take some time. However, i I can build a working one its easy to build 2 simultanoeusly for upload in the future. only takes 5 mins per kernel.
thanks for testing though!
No problem.
If I flash back the stock kernel, will there be any leftovers from your kernel in the system?
So far no problem at all. Good work. I hope that some talented dev could port to our galaxy savoca color calibration... Thanks.

Hi , what about performance ? is it really more fluid than the stock one ?
thanks
Works like it should. Thank you for your work and time spent!
I don't see ktoonsez in your credits. Since you copied his voltage control.

1) not released yet
2) originator is on the github commit
3) is actually made by Andrei lux
There is no need to credit every kernel contributor in existence especially if those commits are tagged
Um. ktoonsez spent hours trying to get the voltage control to actually apply. It was being overridden by touchjizz rom on every boot. I was one of his testers. It took about 4 hours. It wasnt just a copy paste.

that may well be the case. however, as I said previously, the commits on my github from today are on code that has not been released yet. You can see the released kernel with the defconfig v01a commit and comment (last one pushed yesterday)
perhaps im using voltage control sysfs for some internal testing? maybe ill remove it before release? maybe i am going to release it in the future? maybe i would have given credit, as I have everyone else on the *curerntly released* code.
I will not enter into any further discussions with you on this matter. If you wish to report my thread please do go ahead. as it stands right now, i am 100% in compliance with both the stickies at the top of this very thread and XDAs very clear GPL rules.
The OP has not violated the GPL or xda rules by using kernel code from other developers. First because he hasn't released that code as a binary yet, and second he has not squashed the original authorship out of his sources. This satisfies the GPL and xda's rules on giving credit.
It is simply not possible to list all the kernel contributors in the OP...the list is way way way way too long.
If there are any more issues about the GPL, credit, sharing, etc. Please PM me about them.
Thanks!
OK everyone
After a bit of a delay due to computer issues, i have a new kernel ready for beta testing. Anyone interested?
Built in OC to 1.6GHz on .LITTLE and 2.3GHz on .big cores
lots of fixes and boosts
very very smooooooth
Bring it on. I would love to overclock 53 but tone down the 57 ones, it's possible with a tuner I belive?

calm down bro, as far as i can see, beside some useful posts in the past, you are asking a lot, which often sounds demanding, for stuff, features, roms ; instead of doing a little research for already given answers, instead of carefully reading the threads and instead of testing the things own your own and sharing your experiences afterwards. This just leads to many unnecessary posts, which dilutes the important contents for everyone more and more (similar i explained to you before already). . and again the last 4 posts, including mine, would not have been necessary. That's my point and i dont like.
Thanks for new kernel. I just installed it.
@tycoo sorry for the question, but I didn't find something related to that, is there the color calibration script included? Thanks in advance for the kernel.
Works well.
Thanks.
Working great! Thanks a lot tycoo.
For those wondering, yes, this has colour calibration script.
Im going to try it with the latest build. Thanks.

Welcome to hadesKernel
Some personal thoughts:
- this kernel works only on J5 2015 versions. I`m not responsable for what can happen if you flash on other devices.
- v2.3 for J5 already includes all the previous things from A5 releases.
- if you take any of my work without my permission i'll report you, and you'll probably get banned.
- you should read at least install instructions stated in this post - i won`t offer support for any issues regarding installation;
- bug reports without device variant and logs can't be considered bugs - make sure you provide detailed info when reporting bugs;
- press 'Thanks' button instead of saying it - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;
- feel free to donate to me if you want to support my work.
Features:
Aroma Installer with root options

FAQ:
Q: My wifi is broken after flash. What to do?
A: Flash latest modem available for your device.
Q: Can`t connect to wifi network. What to do?
A: Reboot the phone, reboot the wifi router/ap, make sure you don`t have mac filtering enabled on ap/router.
Q: MAC adress has changed. What to do?
A: There is nothing you can do. That happens because of newer wifi module, built along with kernel, from the latest sources. If you can`t connect see Q2 above. I won`t change back to legacy wifi modules, at least not now.
Q: Device appears as "unauthorized" in adb and notification to authorize doesn`t appear. What to do?
A: Enter developer options, disable usb debugging, wait 30 seconds and re-enable it. Now you should see the notification to allow debugging.
Q: loading
A: loading

Some q's
Fast charge as in fast charge?? Does our present kernels support that, beacause it's pretty slow.
Any plans to follow it up for a non touchwiz based rom??
does it support skies rom beta ??

Does the kernel work well with a single processor at the frequency of 50Mhz?
If you set a different GPU frequency to 720Mhz when the GPU is at 100%, is the Max frequency set or rising to 720 ignoring the set frequency? ?
Finally something interesting for the lands of the J5
For me the link doesnt work i just get this:

I added 50Mhz for some certain scenarios, to step down the freq if the load is small - screen on but idle (i have screen timeout set to 10mins), or screen off and awake (for AOD on the roms that have it-my rom for A5). Anyway i have custom script in ramdisk that bypasses stock init.qcom.post_boot.sh and sets custom loads for all the frequencies, so the device can go down even to 50Mhz, but step up if the load is reached, so it doesn't lag at all.
About gpu - from what i saw it sticks to maximum set (i use kernel adiutor).
I mostly cherry-picked features and fixes, even from your j5(6) kernel [emoji16] since all are based on same soc. This project started as personal kernel, permissive with otg enabled (because A series has OTG disabled by Samsung), and after that decided to add more things and make it public.

You can see the GPU frequency in real time by using these commands in Terminal (PC):
Code:
adb shell
cd /sys/devices/soc.0/1c00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0/devfreq/1c00000.qcom,kgsl-3d0
while true; do cat trans_stat; busybox sleep 0.1; done
1) The path may be different.
2) The current GPU frequency is the one with the asterisk.
3) Total transictions means the total switches between GPU frequencies.
Try these commands to confirm that the GPU frequency is stuck at 720.
We can bring the current fast charging also on custom roms or even improve the fast charging to support custom mAh and stuff like that. But forcing a battery to charge faster than it's limit can demage and reduce the battery life drastically so I think we will leave it just like that. Greetings

I know, that you have cherry pick from me?
I also found something interesting in your code
Referring to the intelli thermal, I do not know why faux124 used a different thermal control for the TSEN8974. I found that version 1 gives some errors in the logcat when I boot up the phone
I also started my kernel for personal use, specifically to be able to use viper4 ? I just needed the kernel to be permissive. And now look where the kernel go

Grace UX is touchwiz based. Non tw roms are lineage, cyanogenmod, or any other that uses AOSP as base.

I removed it from features/changelog since isn`t activated yet. I saw too late in msm8916 defconfig the CONFIG_THERMAL_MONITOR=y so the intelli_thermal isn`t there yet. I can`t even finish the build (lots of errors), and you have errors in logcat ?. You are way far than me. For now i didn`t had time to chase those errors. I`ll look more maybe next week. Anything else interesting in my source? ?
Cheers!
After a lot of testing and hours of hard-work, I have developed a Kernel based on the Latest Sources. As the name of the Kernel suggests, the primary focus of the Kernel is Speed and Performance. As a result, I have fine-tuned and optimized this Kernel to Perform in the best possible manner. However, I haven't missed to look into the Battery issues of the phone. A lot of effort has been made to Fix unnecessary Consumption of Battery along with regulated CPU usage. Further, I have worked really hard to include almost all Features and Fixes so as to make my Kernel the most feature-packed All-in-One solution.
Main Features---
Display---
Support for kCAL Colour Control v2.0 (enhances Colour Vibrance and Intensity). (available as a Screen TAB in Kernel Adiutor).
Support for Governors---
Interactive
OnDemand

2. Tons of Optimizations and Improvements to the Default Configuration of the Kernel.
3. A Lot of Unnecessary Drivers have been Removed from the Kernel to make it Clutter-Free (reduces the Size of Kernel and makes it Lighter).
4. A Few Fixes to the Source Code of Lenovo Vibe P1.
5. The Kernel Boots with a Default Set of Optimal Settings (Vibrant Display Settings, Efficient CPU-Settings, etc.).
Notes---
1. I Don't own this Device but my Brother does. Since he was with me for a week, I decided to Build him a Kernel. That's why, I am sharing this Kernel here. The Kernel is Tested to be Stable and works Fine on Nougat Based Custom ROMs.
2. My Primary Devices are Yu Yureka Plus and Yu Yureka Black. I have Developed Kernels and A Few MODs for all Yu-Devices in Yu-Forums and that's where I remain Active.
3. In this Version, I haven't included many Advanced Features (that I have Built for Yu-Devices) because I didn't have the time to Test them on this Device as my Brother went back to his place. So, if you people want Advanced Features such as OverClock, Improvements to Tasks-Scheduling, a Better Thermal System, etc., then you people will need to Test my Builds and Report. If I could find Reliable Testers here, then I'll surely bring many of my Advanced Features here.
Notice---
Before Flashing this Kernel, do READ the Instructions Given in the First Post!

In Kernel Adiutor's Sound TAB, you'll see 4 Gains. Out of them, currently, only three work, Headphones, Mic and CamCorder. So, if you want your Mic to record your voice while Calling at a higher volume, you can increase the Mic Gain. Similarly, you can increase the Gain of the Ear-Piece (to listen while calling, the other person's voice at a higher volume) and Headphones (to listen to music at a higher volume).

Yes, I would like to. I didn't introduce it in this version because I didn't have the Device to test.
So, if you and a few other people are willing to test, then I'll introduce a Few Advanced Features gradually.

It works perfectly fine here, probably there is something in your device which is preventing deep sleep. Do a clean flash and then flash Velocity Kernel It may resolve u r issue
This project is now "End-of-Life" (EOL). Thanks to all of you for the kind support...
Proudly presenting, Boeffla-Kernel (unofficial) for Lineage OS-15.1/16.
/* Introduction */
This is an unofficial port of the well-known Boeffla-Kernel which is developed by the recognized developer @Lord Boeffla. Since the original developer decided to end his support with Nougat, I decided to port his awesome work to Oreo. With the permission of the original developer, here I'm sharing my builds for anyone interested.
/* Warning */
This kernel is no way supported by Lord Boeffla. Please do not bother him with anything related to this Kernel.
/* DISCLAIMER! */
Code:
I am not responsible for any damage to your device. Everything you are doing on your device is at your own risk.
I only own kltelgt (Korean variant). Hence, kernels under the category 'kltekor' are only tested by myself.
Please note that flashing any custom Kernel including mine will void your warranty.
/* Supported devices */
klte: SM-G900F, SM-G900V, SM-S902L

Kirisakura-Kernel for the Sony Xperia 1 III
Hello everyone,
To keep it short: Here is Kirisakura - Kernel for the Sony Xperia 1 III aka Sagami. Sagami is the internal codename for this years development platform of Sony Mark III devices. Please note this kernel is made to run only on Xperia 1 III.
I would appreciate if everybody that flashes the kernel, reads at least once through this opening post and the following ones.
Kirisakura - Kernel is designed to bring a handful of beneficial features to the device, while ensuring excellent performance and smoothness to get you safely through the day!
If you expect a custom kernel to magically improve your devices battery life manifold and this is your only priority then this might not be the right place for you.
However the kernel is built to keep battery life close to the same as you would experience the on stock kernel while being tuned to perform better in various UI related benchmarks. The same benches are used by google to verify and ensure UI smoothness on the Pixel devices.
There´s also a cpu-battery saver mode that cuts back the CPU max- freqs, but without the disadvantages like delayed notifications from built into the system user-space power-saving modes.
If that got your curious, I welcome you to continue reading if you´re still interested!
The kernel includes a lot of improvements and contributions from other developers as well. Without this kernel would not exist.
A big part of improvements originate from @arter97´s, @kdrag0n´s and @Sultanxda´s work. Many others contributed in some way or another to this kernel.
A big thanks to all of them at this place!
Now lets continue with a list of features in the next paragraph!
Main Features:
- Based on latest kernel sources from Sony for Android 12 and intended to be used on the latest Stock-Firmware
- compiled with Clang 14.0.7 and built with -O3 speed optimizations
- Linux-Stable-Upstream included to 5.4.202
- upstreamed CAF base for the Snapdragon 888 (qcoms internal codename "lahaina")
- CPU-Battery saver to be able to restrict max cpufreqs on the fly, without enabling powersaving modes that might cause missed notifications (more info here)
- include important fixes/improvements from kernel/common
- reduce power consumption during deep sleep
- remove logging while device is suspended
- add SSG-IO scheduler from samsung (less overhead, better tuned towards android)
- disable various debugging mechanisms for drivers which are not needed on a perf build (e.g. binder)
- disable selinux auditing (we don´t have to adress selinux denials running a stock rom)
- disable unnecessary CPU errata for our specific SoC
- implement LRNG (thanks @arter97, see arter kernel OP for more info )
- Flashing the kernel will keep root!
- Flashable via EXKM, FKM or TWRP (if available) on a rooted system!
EAS related features:
- Implement dynamic WALT-Window size depending on current FPS, collecting information about CPU-Load to provide more precise information for the scheduler
- EAS implementation patched up to latest CAF state
- updates from kernel/common
- scheduler updates from sd888/ 5.4 kernel
CPU related features:
- Power saving workingqueues enabled by default (toggleable in EXKM)
- Change various drivers (WLAN, MM, audio, charger, power, thermal, glink etc) to use power efficient workingqueues. This compliments EAS in general
- improvements to cpufreq/times/stats
- vdso32 patches as found on Google Pixel devices (brief documentation here) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- remove event debug logging
- disable broken irq detection, disable debugmon
- improve suspend/resume from audio driver (caf-upstream for audio-kernel)
- cpuidle: wake only cpus for which qos has changed (this allows cores to keep idle states better)
- disable debugging during sleep states as per qcom recommendation
- remove RTB logging to reduce overhead
- disable trace_printk as it shouldn´t be used on production/perf kernel builds
- enable suspend_skip_sync to save power during suspend/resume
- disable edac and coresight (following google on the pixel kernels)
- disable jtagv8 debugging as recommended by qcom for perf builds to avoid potential power, performance and memory penalty
- disable s2idle in favor of deep idle state -> improves deep sleep drain (google initially used 2idle for improved suspend/resume latency on pixel 3 and pixel 4, but disabled it on pixel 5. qcom followed suit for sd 888, but apparently didn´t see google reverting it on pixel 5. Other OEMs such as Xiaomi or OnePlus already disabled s2idle on their SD888 devices in favor of deep- read more about s2idle vs deep here)
GPU related features:
- GPU driver updated to latest CAF-State
- gpu/kgsl improvements from pixel 4/pixel 5 kernel
- add low_prio_worker thread for gpu driver (Improves performance when tearing down processes (eg, via LMK) and not blocking currently running UI from submitting work to the GPU
File System related features:
- upstream BFQ-MQ to latest state in linux-mainline and default to 128KB readahead
- improve memory allocations in kernfs
- ufs improvements from pixel 4/ pixel 5 kernel
- improve GC as to not interfere while user interaction is happening and prevent possible jitter or latency spikes
Network related features:
- Wireguard Support (Details)
- advanced TCP algorithms enabled
- use bbr as default TCP congestion algorithm (fasted algo according to this excellent research from @kdrag0n found here )
- improved networking drivers from caf-upstream (especially wifi)
- remove unnecessary wakelock from WLAN driver to reduce thousands of very short wakeups during a 7 hour deep sleep period
- improved bluetooth performance (¹, ²)
- Enable support for TTL spoofing
Memory related features:
- Speculative Page Faults left enabled (1. 2) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- Fix various memory leaks in different subsystems
- improved mm with patches from mainline
- patches from kernel/common
- improve memory allocations in various subsystems, video encode/decode, kernfs, cgroup
- Backport to enable CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PMD (see here) , thanks @arter97
- Backport to enable CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PUD (commit here) , thanks @arter97
- free more RAM by removing unused reserved memory regions
- mm: Micro-optimize PID map reads for arm64 (improves game performance, especially unity based games such as genshin impact)
- MGLRU added (info here and here
Security related features:
- Control-Flow-Integration (CFI) and Link-Time-Optimization (LTO) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- Use ThinLTO which was first used in the Pixel 4 XL Android R-Kernel instead of full LTO (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- Shadow Call Stack (SCS) Security-Feature ( 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
- enable init_on_alloc for even more security, more information can be found in the commit message (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
Misc Features:
Wakelock Blocker:
- advanced wakelock blocker with the ability to block any wakelocks (dangerous, use with caution)
- please read [URL="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/08/p-is-for-power-how-google-tests-tracks-and-improves-android-battery-life/"]this for further info
- blocking a kernel wakelock should only be done in case of firmware incompatabilities (WiFi network at work (can´t be changed) causes deep sleep to not work on the phone.) That´s the only use case I see for this feature. The kernel does not features this to improve battery life!
Other features:
- clean up asus drivers and fix a few warnings in kernel log
- disable logging and debugging to make the kernel more lightweight in various places (includes binder, mm, vma, gpu, ipa etc)
- fix several coding issues detected by newer Clang-Toolchains
- enlarge dmesg size to ease debugging
Flashing Guide, Download and Changelog
Requirements:
- unlocked Bootloader
- USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
- latest adb and fastboot binaries
- working adb and fastboot environment
- magisk root
- a backup of stock boot.img or your magisk patched boot.img in case you want to go back to stock.
How to flash the Kernel:
1. Download the latest kernel.zip and make sure you have properly updated to the latest matching Firmware (check the feature list for the current firmware the source is based on). When there´s an OTA update for the Sony Xperia 1 III it takes Sony a while to release the source code for the new OS and me a while to build a new kernel. If you don´t want to face any issues, wait until I either release an updated kernel or give green light because there were no kernel changes.
If you want to be sure there are no issues, always make sure to run the firmware the kernel is built for!
If you feel adventurous and try in advance, make sure you have a backup ready!
2. Flash the kernel.zip via latest TWRP (if available), EXKM or FKM app and do a full reboot.
3. Reboot and profit.

F.A.Q:
Question: Is root preserved when flashing this kernel?
Answer: Yes, the AnyKernel.zip will detect root and keep it.
Question: Safetynet does not pass on my phone since I unlocked the phone, why is this so?
Answer: Google introduced hardware backed attestation recently. Unfortunately the old kernel tricks to still get safetynet passing won´t work. Instead you will have to rely on some magisk modules. Short guide in post #4 below.
Question: How do I return back to stock or another kernel.
Answer: Extract boot.img from the matching firmware you are on (you can do so by using this tool or similar ones found on XDA and when googling around) and flash them via fastboot. If you want to keep root flash back the magisk_patched_boot.img. Or dirty flash your rom and re-root.
Question: Why is having Magisk installed mandatory for this kernel?
Answer: The kernel uses a ramdisk overlay to apply some settings after boot. If you are not rooted these settings will not get applied and you miss some of the optimizations.
Question: How to report bugs properly?
Answer: Have a look at post #3 in the linked thread. The linked guide is a pretty good starting point.
Before reporting any bug make sure you´re running on a stock configuration. That´s means you´re not using any mods, tweaks in kernel managers or other root tweaks , magisk modules, scripts or other modifications that alter various functions like sound mods, data traffic, sleeping behaviour, scheduler, magical battery tweaks etc.
Try to describe the issue as detailed as possible! Give your exact setup, like rom, magisk version, kernel version.
Is the issue reproducible? Does it happen frequently?
Please make sure to meet the points described above, provide logs as detailed in the link above, otherwise debugging is a lot more time consuming and harder. (kernel flashing apps usually support exporting logs of flashes too) If these requirements aren´t met and I don´t find time to either reproduce the issue myself or I´m not able to reproduce the issue myself, reports might just be ignored. If you can already reproduce the issue and provide logs it greatly limits the amount of time I have to spent until I figure out how to reproduce it.
If the device force reboots/randomly reboots (that means you see the bootloader unlocked screen!) provide a .zip of /asdf.
Easiest way is immediately after booting up, with a root explorer navigate to /asdf. Copy the contents to your internal storage, zip it up and send it to me.
If the issue happens while the device is running provide a dmesg plus a logcat that you take while/shortly after the issue happens. This will log what´s running in the current session. Try to be as detailed as possible what´s happening when the issue appears. It will also help me in reading the log!
Feature Documentation:
Here´s a brief documentation about some of the features included in the kernel that can be changed as the user desires.
They can be accessed via either terminal, scripts or for example EXKM manager ( tools -> user settings).
CPU-Frequency Limiting:
Another option is CPU-Freq Limiting. You can now limit the CPU frequency to a few different levels with a sysfs interface. Original implementation is from @tbalden, I only changed it to be accessible via traditional root methods.
Main Switch:
sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver
Set this option to "1" to enable the feature
Max-Frequency Selection (Input boosts, such as scrolling boost or app launching boosts will still apply, if touch boost restriction is not set to 1)
sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver_level
Set this to "1" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,7GHZ/2,1GHZ/2,49GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)
Set this to "2" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,6GHZ/1,7GHZ/2,0GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)
Set this to "3" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,49GHZ/1,4GHZ/1,6GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)
Touch-Boost Restriction
sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver_touch limiting
Set this to "1" to restrict the powerhal from boosting over the limit defined in batterysaver_level
Set this to "0" to allow the powerhal to boost above the values defined in batterysaver_level, but only during interaction with the Phone!

This is for example very useful during gaming to prevent additional heat, if not the highest performance from the CPU is required. Check if the game is running fine on level 1 or 2, and you´ll notice much less heat. Powerdraw will be reduced as well.
Another very useful trick while doing video calls or long extended navigation sessions with google maps to preserve battery or keep the phone from heating. Especially during summer if the ambient temperatures are high.
This is a very easy way to preserve battery or reduce heat without toggling the battery save mode in settings as that restricts background data usage, which can lead to delayed notifications.
How to pass Safetynet after unlocking the bootloader
With the introduction of hardware backed safetynet attestation, passing safetynet has become a lot more complicated.
Some probably remember a while ago, flashing a kernel that forced some flags was enough to pass it. However these days are gone.
Below is a short guide how to pass safetynet on phones that are flagged to use HW attestation (such as the ROG 5).
1. Make sure you´re running latest magisk canary.
2. In Magisk Manager enable both zygisk and deny list.
4. Download the latest Universal Safety Net Fix from @kdrag0n ´s github for zygisk cand flash it in Magisk Manager. Reboot.
5. Profit

Freak07,
Please not this kernel is made to run only on Xperia 1 II
Click to expand...

I guess it should be "Please note this kernel is made to run only on Xperia 1 III"
By the way, is there any plans to make same kernel for 5 III ?

Fixed the typos and the link.
No, I only have the Xperia 1 III to work on.
Amazing work mate, very meticulous tuning. Would love to have this kernel on the 5 III. I understand the device architectures are quite similar?

I asked the same question above
And unfortunatelly Freak07 do not support 5 III because he doesn't have it. Hope someone else could transfer his patches and things to 5 III.
Thanks for the kernel. However after installing the kernel my SD card gave an error. It says issue with the SD Card tap to fix and then asks me to format it?

I think i know whats up. They use a proprietary driver for exfat formatted sdcards ( I assume yours is formatted as exfat?) so it's not included in the source i build the kernel from.
I don't use a sdcard, that's why I missed it.

They are similar, but I can't support a device i don't own. I also lack the time to do any remote debugging.
The phones however are similar as you mentioned, so if somebody is interested in starting to work on it all my work is up on GitHub. That might make it a lot easier than it would be otherwise.

Yes mine is exfat since it's 256gb but not a big issue. I just transferred all my files to PC formatted the SD and transferred back now it works.
Also I'm using forced 4K all the time. But the only downside is the slowing down of the FP sensor. I think it's a kernel panic can you look in to that also maybe? (It was also slow on stock kernel)
Dear developer, if there is an opportunity, I would like to receive a kernel for PRO-I products!
I promise to donate
Update to 1.0.1
Good morning everybody,
thanks to @BlazingKahn35 ´s report exfat formatted sdcards are now working fine again.
Included an open source driver, that spoofs texfat support (the proprietary exfat driver) once an exfat sdcard is detected.
Download link can be found in the OP.

Not sure what you mean. A kernel panic crashes the device so that it reboots.
The fingerprint scanner works fine for me. I place my finger on it, it scans and proceeds to unlock. It's not the fastest around, but it's quick enough for me.
Also used the adb commands to enable 4k and the speed of the fingerprint sensor stayed the same on my end.
I noticed just as I woke up that my phone was charged to 100%. Did you removed battery care from the kernel?

For me there is a big delay sometimes. Do you have AOD enabled?

Not intentionally no. It might be not enabled the way I built the source or i need to see if the drivers is available somewhere else to be able to build it in.
I'll play around with it the next few days, see if I can reproduce the issue and find what's missing or broken. Thanks for the report again.

Not constant AOD. Only waking to AOD screen when lifting the phone is enabled.
