Good job on the support for F2FS. I hope more devs start to add support for their kernels and roms soon as F2FS continues to mature.
Hello supported Ciyanogen? Very thanks

Works on AOSP (PureNexus) though I believe there is a sound issue. Have to double check and report back later.

F2FS support is great and all but worthless at the moment since we don't have a way to format the three partitions ( system, data, cache) to really take advantage of potential gains f2fs as the offer.
The solution is pretty straightforward but I don't have the knowledge to know if it's feasible or not.
The road block is the fact that the 6p cache partition is under 1GB, which is a minimum requirement for f2fs to work.
There is TWRP custom build out there that's support f2fs but it only works on the data partition and that's meaningless as f2fs relies heavily on using the cache partition.
We could increase the size of the cache partition easily because the data partition is right next to it on the device and we could take space from data and allocate it to cache. I just have no idea of the possible repercussions of resizing partitions on an Android device.
My guess is that it would screw with Google releases and maybe there's something in the bootloader or kernel that needs to be edited so the device knows which blocks belong to which partition.
If it isn't a big deal to resize partitions, then its trivial. Use the latest f2fs-tools off github and make a TWRP kernel.
I remember jt1134 modifying partitions for new ROMs to work on the Fascinate. Even coding RIL stuff single handedly for CM. I miss those days, when locked bootloader wasn't even heard of ?
ZigZag R2 is out now!

Making a custom TWRP that allows the 6P to fully use F2FS has been on my "to-investigate/to-do" list for a while now. I've msg'd a couple people with experience in modifying the TWRP kernel and a few devs to see the feasability about changing partition sizes, but have gotten no responses

I saw these and thought "oh thats new".. But I'm perplexed. Your kernel is a fork of CyanogenMod/android_kernel_huawei_angler with only a few commits done recently, https://github.com/W4TCH0UT/ZZ_angler/commits/53a3c39ecd976558df111fcd874e2d5edc391d1d. If that's the wrong repo/branch somehow then my bad but I just followed the link in OP.
Not sure why you're enabling ICE (Inline Crypto Engine) when the OEMs won't even use it because its unstable. Ofc HW backed encryption is better than software-only but Google also vastly improved it's keystore on M (compare the Nexus 6 encryption performance to the 6p).
From Android Explorations @ http://nelenkov.blogspot.com/
Unfortunately, while the current implementation performs pretty well, there are still some problems, especially when the device is in sleep mode. If the devices is in sleep mode for a relatively long period of time, read errors can occur, and the userdata partition may be mounted as read only (which wreaks havoc with the system's content providers); the device may even power off. While a reboot seems to fix the issue, if the the userdata was mounted read-only, the SQLite databases storing system configuration and accounts may get corrupted, which in some cases can only be fixed by a factory reset. Thus, hardware-accelerated disk encryption is unfortunately currently not quite suitable for daily use on the Nexus 6.

CAF even tried using it for our chipset then reverted it:
ICE (Inline Crypto Engine) support requires Key restoration after UFS power collapse. This operation adds long latency to exit from power collapse and will impact the performance even when ICE is not in use.

I mean, its worth experimenting with for sure. You don't until you try. But ICE has been around for a long time and there must be a reason no one uses it.
And I don't see where you added UKSM. Could you link the merge?

https://github.com/W4TCH0UT/ZZ_angler/commit/0b91f685a025db3c2c549aad51a2565fb1467755 , this is the commit for uksm, following it were some missing bits for it.
And, yes it is a fork of cm to support cm based ROMs.
If you could check the merges, then there's a lot that has been done.
I thought it would be a good way to experiment using the ICE driver as to what it brings. I know 6p's encryption system is better than 6, but what's the harm in experimenting?

There's no harm at all, except for users who will try this kernel and experience the instability and latency issues described above. If the users don't realize that you are experimenting with some untested features then they will just end up writing this kernel off and never use it. So maybe it would be a good idea to put a disclaimer or perhaps two different buildsl?
And it isn't just the 6p that was improved it was all Android 5.0 and up.
This ice chip has been on Qualcomm SOCs for a long time now and by that I mean since at least 2011. I'm sure they've made improvements over the past five years, but I suspect there's a reason no developer uses this in their kernel. Qcoms website has very little detail about even the existence of ICE, most of what we know has come from then submitting it to get FIPS certified.

I can't speak on the battery life yet, but in terms of smoothness & scrolling; this kernel is ?. (Stock x Zigzag).
Any recommended settings @##W4TCH0UT##
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
This kernel is running really really smooth. I am very impressed so far with the performance and also battery life seems great as well. Please keep up the great work, as i see no reason to change kernels now. Only thing i ask for is maybe drive droid support and f2fs. Thanks so much

** Note: This kernel is end-of-life and will no more be maintained. There will be no LineageOS 15.1 or newer kernel be available anymore **
Hi Guys!
Thanks to one of my coworker at work which had no further usage for his Note 8 GT-N5110 i had recently the possibility to call it my own! I was very happy about that but what i instantly missed after powering on the device for the first time was the great boeffla kernel which runs very well on my S3 for quite some time now. So i decided to "route" some spare time into porting the boeffla kernel for n801x devices to n51x0 devices. After a „couple of days“ and after fighting around with git, merging things and stuff i can enjoy now the power of boeffla on this device too! Finally i want to share this kernel with the ones who maybe missed boeffla on a Note 8 too and of course with all others which maybe want to give it a try.. As it is pretty much complete and i didn't want to reinventing the wheel i did (in agreement with Lord Boeffla!) a shameless copy of his text from the n8x0 thread and changed the relevant parts for this version. It is and it should stay a Boeffla Kernel so i think it's not that “blasphemic” if i copy the Lord himself. btw. all credits to him!!
This is the thread about the ported version of the Boeffla-Kernel for Galaxy Note 8 n51x0 devices
Some of you might know Lord Boefflas kernel already from the Galaxy S3 area.
If you want to learn more about the kernel, it's features and how to configure what, I would recommend you to visit the Galaxy S3 thread of the kernel.
Notes:
This kernel (provided in separate images) should work on the following devices:
GT-N5110 (Wifi only), GT-N5100 (G3 modem) and GT-N5120 (G4/LTE modem) Only GT-N5110 versions are tested by me as i have no possibility to test the others! So feedback about how the kernel is working on a GT-N5100 and GT-N5120 would be highly appreciated, thx!
The kernel images are only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.2.2) or Kit Kat (Android 4.4.2) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!
Kernel versions 1.x are only for Samsung based Jelly Bean 4.2.2 roms!!!
Kernel versions 2.x are only for Samsung based Kit Kat 4.4.2 roms!!!
Custom Roms:
This Kernel is not compatible with the yNote ROM because of modifications related to init process and removing SELinux!! But it should work for example with stock based custom roms like civatos CivZ roms!
WARNING: Be sure that u flash the right kernel for the right device !! Images are named accordingly so double check that u use the right one! Flashing a wrong version may brick your device !!

Lord Boefflas Objective
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. 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 !!!
I will, also in future, only add features that make sense to me personally as well and are not against my initial objectives. You can always raise your wishes and requests, however there is absolutely no guarantee it will be implemented.
Quote Lord Boeffla:
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i (ZaneZam) won't do that either but all the things Lord Boeffla decides to implement in the future will of course find their way into this kernel as long as it is possible to implement them plus/minus some little things i might find useful for the Note 8 devices but at the end always respecting Lord Boefflas Objective!
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.2.2) and Samsung based Kit Kat (Android 4.4.2/GT-N5100 4.4.4) firmwares. Since 26.04.15 there are also CM12.x,CM13.x,LOS14.1 versions available. It is not designed to run on AOSP based roms!
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT NEWER STOCK ROMS: to be able to use the KitKat kernel builds with newer roms like XXDNH2 or XXDNH3 stock roms or based ones u will need to patch your rom beforehand. due to mali API changes in these roms booting with custom kernels isn't possible. so you can now checkout and install civatos fix HERE (many thx and credits to him!) after patching the rom the kernel should boot fine! <-- 10.04.15 since kernel version 2.2 obsolete as it has been "fixed" in the kernel itself. nonetheless if u still face issues with newer roms then u can use civatos method in addition but for now it's not needed to boot the kernel on newer roms.
Kit Kat 4.4.4:
Since version 2.1 stable this kernel is compatible with the XXDNL5 rom for GT-N5100 devices.
CM12.x:
Since 26.04.2015 there are also CM12.0 and CM12.1 versions for GT-N5100 and GT-N5110 devices available. these are compatible with offical CyanogenMod 12.x roms and based ones.
CM13.x:
Since 17.04.2016 there are also CM13.0 versions for GT-N5100 and GT-N5110 devices available. these are compatible with offical CyanogenMod 13.0 roms and based ones.
Since 01.05.2016 there are also CM13.0 versions for GT-N5120 devices available. these are compatible with offical CyanogenMod 13.0 roms and based ones.
LineageOS 14.1:
Since 13.01.2017 there are also LineageOS/CM14.1 versions for GT-N5100, GT-N5110 and GT-N5120 devices available. these are compatible with offical LineageOS 14.1 roms and based ones.
Note: You need at least version 2.4.19 of Boeffla-Config V2 to allow all functionalities to be available.

* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* DerTeufel
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio

* Faux123
* civato
... 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 !!!
And special thanks from me to my friend Andi for letting this kernel-port exist „under his hood“ by providing it on his homepage and for supporting it in his Config App! Appreciate that much!!
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 CWM recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.
One last important note from me ZaneZam:
This is a contribution to the Boeffla Kernel project and not my own project! This port was made in agreement with Lord Boeffla but not by himself! I will support this ported version as good as i can, Lord Boeffla will not as he doesn't support versions for devices he doesn't own! So please if you have device specific questions ask them here and not in any other boeffla kernel thread, thanks!
Cheers and now enjoy the power of Boeffla on the Note 8!

Give this guy his cookie, can't wait till Samsung releases the KK kernel source to try this baby out.
yeah i'm waiting too to be able to start from scratch
Been waiting for this thank you.....tested kernel on civatos rom, works great no issues at all.battery life and performance are great. Boffella sound is awesome and the boffella config gives a little more control over audio than just boffella sound. Would love to see a aosp kernel with these features since no current 4.4.2 aosp or cm kernels have boffella sound working. I downgraded from 4.4.2 for this kernel and happy I did.... Thanks
Have flashed it on my N5100 running latest X-Note ROM.
After first flash, my screen was flickering.
Then I did cache and dalvik wipe and flashed again.
Now no flickering any more, but my GSM doesn't work any more.
So back to civz kernel.

first of all thx for your braveness *gg* and thx for the report!
as said unfortunately i cannot test versions other then the N5110, so i rely on your reports.
but maybe i can pinpoint the problem with your help at least if you still are willing to help,
that would be great but also isn't a problem if u refuse
another one with such a problem on GT-N5100 or GT-N5120?

One thing I noticed that is very important to me is docking mode is no longer supported with this kernel. Switch to civatos kernel it works again.dock mode supports USB host charging and HDMI at the same time all u need to do is place a 65k resistor between Id pin and ground on ur USB host cable.....very important to me since tablet is used in my car as a head unit... I'd appreciate any help.Maybe s3 uses a different resistance?

actually to be as near as possible to boeffla kernel I didn't activate it in config but will check that for u and maybe we have an beta 2 soon!
I appreciate that . I really want to get into kernel dev. I built a few windows 7 moded os. But seems u need Linux experience I only have some backtrack experience. Thanks for the reply. I'm always open to testing
b3ltazar said:
Been waiting for this thank you.....tested kernel on civatos rom, works great no issues at all.battery life and performance are great. Boffella sound is awesome and the boffella config gives a little more control over audio than just boffella sound. Would love to see a aosp kernel with these features since no current 4.4.2 aosp or cm kernels have boffella sound working. I downgraded from 4.4.2 for this kernel and happy I did.... Thanks

Yep sorry I noticed that 4.2.2 kernel source hasn't been updated, just no time.
When I finish my KitKat kernel I will upload the source to github.
Will try to do that this weekend.
yeah i know that "time thingy" very well! thx looking forward to your update.

Still running this kernel working good. Battery life is amazing. Hopefully u can get docking mode figured out when u have time.
I'm surprised there aren't more people interested in this kernel. Give it a try with civs 4.2.2 build u won't regret it.

Just to make sure, this still doesn't support TW KitKat Roms? I read in the OP that is for jellybean roms.
duki994 Kernel for Stock TouchWiz LP ROMs
A personal project that had good results and I wanted to share it with others
It's based on official Samsung sources for Lollipop firmware.
Important note:
This kernel should work on any custom ROM that is stock lollipop based
Features:
* Wolfson Audio control (thanks to @AndreiLux)
* Battery charging control (thanks to @AndreiLux)
* CPU voltage control for both A7 and A15 cluster (thanks to @AndreiLux)
* Exposed all OPP voltage controls (thanks to @AndreiLux)
* Powersuspend v1.7 by @faux123 and @Yank555
* LMK, MM and FS powersuspend mods ported from @dorimanx's LG G2 kernel
* SCHED code fixes
* SCHED: HMP thresholds changed and new patches implemented
* Many changes related to ARM instruction code and lowlevel ARM core management
* Enabled NEON mode in kernel with full VFPV4 support
* Added new SHA256 and SHA512 NEON accelerated algortihms - now blazing fast
* UKSM (Ultra Kernel Samepage Merging) - algorithm that's better optimized than standard KSM
* WiFi standby wakelocks (PNO wakelock) reduced
* WiFi userspace power mode/DTIM change (for advanced users ONLY)
* WiFi driver switched from deprecated earlysuspend to use newer powersuspend driver (this is to fix some of bugs that could lead device kernel crash)
* NET updates
* Enabled all TCP congestion protocols and set Westwood as default (best wireless performance)
* Disabled KNOX
* SELinux disabled in kernel
* Fully configurable in Synapse (download from Google Play)
/* Important note to other devs */
You cannot include this to your ROMs. I can't be responsible if anything goes wrong, I can't help with any issues without knowing kernel version and users should be routed to this thread if they want this kernel, or if you recommend it. I think that it's best to separately view custom ROM and custom Kernel, so each dev (ROM or Kernel one) can work on bugs/features and make it as compatible as it can.
However, you can add this thread link and mention me in your thread, so people would know where to ask if some kernel problem arises
Warranty void
By flashing this kernel you will void your warranty. I'm not responsible if you brick your device, or if someone starts nuclear war.
Note:
Don't change voltages on "Busses" tab if you don't know what you are doing. It can reboot your phone if your memory controllers, ISP or MMC controllers can't handle low voltage.
WiFi pasword resetting fix:
Code:
1. open your build.prop file
2. find line ro.securestorage.support
3. change it from true to false (if not already false)
This line being on true will make your WiFi not work good with this kernel. This is due to Samsung's rooting restriction and other Samsung specific workarounds to stop rooting and flashing. Any custom ROM probably has this line changed to false.
Changelogs:
Version 1.4 BETA
Billion critical updates from my G900H version:
* MM code
* new LMK driver
* Exynos interactive governor updated

How to build this kernel guide
PREREQUISITES
What you need installed to compile
gcc, gpp, cpp, c++, g++, lzma, lzop, ia32-libs flex
If on 64bit Linux, install gcc multilib
Project folder structure
--project_root/ #### can have any name
-----ramdisk_source/ ## defined by RAMDISK_TMP var in script
-----ramdisk_tmp/ ## defined by RAMDISK_DIR var in script
-----kernel_source/ #### can have any name
-----RELEASE/
TOOLCHAIN INFO
Toolchain is already into kernel dir. You just need to have
correct folder structure and run this script. Everything will be auto-built
FLASHABLE ZIP
Flashable zip will be located in project_root/RELEASE directory
and will have name Kernel-slte.zip
All other explanations here:
https://github.com/duki994/SM-G850_Kernel_LP/blob/master/build_kernel.sh
Clone ramdisk source in ramdisk_source
Clone kernel in kernel_source folder
Be sure to have project directory structure as written above
After that, you just need to run:
sudo bash build_kernel.sh
in kernel folder. And voila. After finished you have Kernel-slte.zip in RELEASE directory
If it show any errors, open kernel source and type in terminal:
chmod -R 755 *
Then repeat sudo bash build_kernel.sh
awesome job, thank you

I reduce voltage A15,A7 (every speed) by roughly 20mv
gaming (coc,asphalt,etc) for roughly 1 hour; result=stable :good:
edit: volume in the audio also work, louder headphone.
Thanks, I'll try it.

Battery? It's better than stock for me. For screen on, this morning I had 50mins SOT and 87% battery left. That's even better than my LG G2, which is a beast according to tests
My father uses Galaxy Alpha, and yesterday he managed to get 4h SOT with HSDPA data on.
When screen off (in suspended mode) it's very low power consumption due to Powersuspend driver. It's better than stock.

I have no access to G850L model. I don't know if it will work.
During this week, if I have enough time, I'll download G850L source and build it with all mods/features and give you to test it
thanks duki994.
which app I need install to control on the kernel?
hi!
1. how do You undervolt by 20mv, in synapse i have steps like 1x,xxMv and can set up -25Mv??
2. I have strange warning message after installed this kernel. it says phone needs to reboot. after reboot the same. just annoying

1. Our voltage regulator accepts 6.25mV step. So you can UV/OV in multiples of 6.25. When you do math, 6.25mV x 4 = 25mV
You can't UV -20mV. You can UV -18.75m (3 x 6.25mV). Next step is -25mV (4 x 6.25mv).

No UV. All stock. Only changed earpiece volume (incall speaker volume) to higher (+4dB if I recall good from this morning). It's for better hearing incall
UV generally doesn't reduce battery consumption (it's maybe 1%-3% less power usage). Real benefit of UV is lower CPU heat and prolonged life of motherboard.
Some chips can't handle UV at all. Some can be UV by as much as -150mV. It all depends on specific chip that came out of fabric process. Note that UV brings instability on some devices.

On which ROM are you? Everything works for me on stock. I have to see if anything changes it.
Did you set secure storage to false in build prop?
I'l automate that in next build.

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
kltekor: SM-G900K/L/S
kltedv: SM-G900P/I
klteduos: SM-G900FD, SM-G900MD
kltekdi: SCL23
/* Compatibility */
This kernel is only meant to work on Lineage-OS 15.1/16 and nothing else. However, it may work on other LOS 15.1/16 based Oreo/Pie ROMs (Please try at your own risk).
This kernel will NOT work in Samsung Stock and other TW ROMs.
/* How-to-Install */
i. Download Kernel
ii. Go to recovery (TWRP recommend)
iii. Flash Kernel
iv. Reboot and enjoy
/* Features */
Built from Boeffla-Kernel 14.1 source code.
Merged with latest LineageOS 15.1 source code.
Built using Bleeding edge toolchain (GCC 8.2).
Added blu_active CPU governer.
All the standard features of Lineage-OS 14.1 Boeffla-Kernel
Support of anykernel concept - flash stock kernel before flashing Boeffla
Additional governors: zzmoove (Note: not considered stable at the moment, you might face reboots!!!), intelliactive, intellidemand, wheatley, smartmax, slim, intellimm, nightmare, lionheart, pegasusq Zzmoove supporting native hotplugging profiles
Additional schedulers: fiops, bfq, sio, tripndroid, zen
Many Hotplug tweak profiles (Default, Optimized, 1 core max, 2 cores max, 3 cores max, 2 cores min, 3 cores min, 4 cores min, 2 cores exact, 3 cores exact)
Wake up gestures implemented (double-tap-to-wake, swipe to wake) Removed from beta-v4 onwards.
Boeffla-Sound engine (Headphones and speaker volume configurable)
Configurable vnswap
True dynamic FSync (activated if screen on, deactived if screen off), configurable
Touch boost frequency configurable, touch boost switch
CPU Overclocking up to 2.84 GHz

Default entropies increased
Insecure kernel (adb has root privileges)
Automatic EFS backup
Kernel survival mode by Boeffla-Config app to survive CM rom flashes
Full support for mpdecision for best compatibility and smoothness
(Important: use Boeffla-Config to configure min/max CPU frequencies + governors + schedulers only - or explicitely allow other apps/processes to overwrite this in Boeffla-Config settings, but expect weird side effects)
Integrated full busybox 1.23.1 (own compilation)
Auto-Root by kernel possible by request, not recommended for CM however (latest su included)
Kernel initialization log file (with the history of 3 log files)
Emergency reset script automatically placed into /boeffla-kernel-data folder of your internal memory
Presets supported in Boeffla-Config by kernel (Extreme power, power, normal, battery friendly and battery saving)
Always using latest Initramfs
Always based on latest Galaxy S5 sm-g900f kernel sources by CM
Kernel runs with SELinux enforcing by default, just as CM12 stock kernel for S5 - but can be configured to work in permissive mode in Boeffla-Config settings

So we are in the house
Kernel works fine so far... No probs with undervolting either. But never used this feature for daily use. Because it's not recommended.

Yass! Boeffla the legend, the only custom kernel which performance is faster than any other custom kernels and stock kernels combine.
All the best for you @sunilpaulmathew
You`ll wearing great shoes to continue Lord Boeffla`s legacy
Checked first beta ... fine fine
Cool! Let's check it out!

No such issues in my kltekor (SM-G900L):Lineage-OS 15.1 latest build. See screenshot attached. Maybe some other issues on the ROM side?
for @all,
I'm now testing a new version of Kernel, which is built using UBERTC-8.x (latest toolchain). If anyone wants to test for me, plz pm me or contact me at Telegram.

Runs well, undervolting works in this kernel now, thank you! Havent noticed anything else thus far exept undervolt is working which is really nice!
Edit: Seems like GPU underclock (27mhz) is also added, great job, thanks!
Boeffla-Kernel (unofficial) v2
New kernel version (v2), which is built using UBERTC-8.x (latest) toolchain, is now available to download.
Detailed change-logs are always available here.
Download links can be found here.
Enjoy...
Thank you very much for the New build.. Works perfectly with the boeffla App. The change to the New Toolchain goes without any probs
No malfunctions since Installation
Great job

Sorry friends, I made some accidental mistakes while preparing the last build and it makes the modules unaccessible (do anyone noticed?). The download links are now updated with proper builds. If you are not worried about modules, just avoid this message. Otherwise, update to the newly uploaded builds (Please note: there is absolutely no change in the file name).
Sorry for the inconvenience...

Introduction:
Affinity Kernel is a custom kernel based on the latest Stable Linux 4.4 release from kernel.org.
This kernel is developed with performance and great battery life in mind offering some goodies cherry-picked from other popular kernels such as Flash Kernel, ElementalX, blu_spark, Boeffla Kernel, Sultan Kernel and Franco Kernel.
The kernel is always up to date with mainline linux kernel and is regulary updated with the latest fixes.
The goal is to provide a butter smooth experience, simmilar to what you get with the latest Pixel devices.
Affinity Kernel is based on the official kernel source released by OnePlus.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is not void (Thank you OnePlus!).
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this kernel
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

Installation:
Before you install the kernel, make sure you have
a backup of boot partition in case something goes wrong!
If you are coming from stock kernel:
Reboot into TWRP
Flash the Affinity Kernel.zip
Reboot
If you are coming from another custom kernel:
Reboot into TWRP
Dirty flash your rom or restore boot backup if you have any
Reboot recovery
Flash the Affinity Kernel.zip
Reboot
Updating:
Just flash the latest Affinity Kernel build over the previous one
Downloads:
{Mod edit}
On ROMs like Dirty Unicorns, WLAN won't work because the wlan module is required
to load on device initcall rather than late initcall like other ROMs do. There's a workaround for it but
it breaks WLAN on all ROMs that have the module built inline or the CAF way
{Mod edit}

I'll take this one
And this one
Thanks for the work, ill give it a try.
2 thing that bugs me are:
1- isnt restoring stock boot.img removes custom recovery and replaces it with stock one?(had that problem before)
2-is the kernel(pie) eas or hmp?
finally:good:
Thank you for your working on this kernel !
I have a problem with the least one. It's an eas kernel. My oneplus 5t restart it's os staying oneplus log more than 1 minute.Using r19 kernel spends about 30 seconds.
Is thit normal?
thank you.

1. Yes but it's better to do a backup of boot that has Magisk installed so you don't have to reflash TWRP
2. Since r20 it's EAS based

Haven't seen such behaviour yet, some users reported that it works perfectly on both 5 and 5T.
If I'm coming from a kernel like bluspark, I must flash the stock boot img first, correct? Where can I find this?

Kernel is good. Only thing i saw was cpu clocks wouldnt go down less than 800mhz and 500mhz.
Solid, liquid smooth, clean. For me it is better than RZ kernel

Affinity Kernel r21 is up!
Since r21, Affinity Kernel is available for custom ROMs as well. Should work well with every ROM except of OmniROM and TreskMod (which is Pixel-like OmniROM)
because Omni has its own way of loading the WLAN module so WiFi might be most likely broken. Anyway, you may also notice that on some ROMs that have EAS baked in, Affinity Kernel
default settings are not getting applied. That's because the ROM has its own post boot init script that overwrites my settings, not a big deal.
Here's the changelog:
Upstreamed to Linux 4.4.176
Support for custom ROMs
Some touchups for init script
Added O3 GCC optimalization
Readahead improvements
A bunch of kgsl improvements (adreno driver)
devfreq improvements
DISCLAIMER:
Haha warranty goes brrr. . .
I am not responsible for your broken phones, sdcards, dreams and etc. You are on your own, kernel is provided as-is.
Features:
1. Wireguard.
2. Adjustable TTL.
3. Based on latest ALS (CAF+upstream) source with Xiaomi edits applied and slightly cleaned up.
4. Embedded dtbo - you don't need to worry about bad/leftover dtbo's, kernel uses its own and ignores dtbo partition altogether.
Optimizations applied:
This list most likely isn't full.
1. Compiled with GCC 10.2, O3, LTO and crazy inlining.
2. Performance critical kthreads/irqs API.
3. Cpusets/Stune assists.
4. Optimized frequent memory allocations.
5. Greatly sped up memory regular memory allocarions.
6. Simple LMK for better multitasking.
7. BBR TCP algorithm.
8. TLB invalidation, mmu_gather backported from mainline for a major performance boost. (thx Arter <3)
9. General undebugging, reduced logging and fixes for braindead Xiaomi/CAF code.
10. Entropy, and crypto engine optimizations.
11. Scheduler improvements from Google.
OS Support:
Anything that isn't MIUI or based on it should work.
Where to download:
Releases on Github.
Franco Kernel Manager integration:
If you purchased FKM you can tap on the link below, open it with FKM and install this kernel automatically
+ check for updates every day.

then it will be something related to OTG, since I'm connecting my sdcard via OTG adapter and was not even detected (usually Android complain about formatting my card if it can't read it), thanks again
Kernel working fine over ArrowOS! Things definitely feel slightly smoother, haven't run any benchmarks however. I do appreciate is the latest Linux patches & the cleanup the Xiaomi junk!
I'm finally happy with my Poco X3, Thanks OP!

Flashing instructions?
Can anyone confirm if this kernel has power efficient work queues enabled?
So far, it appears only Stormbreaker kernel has it.
