Wow, we finally have a modified kernel for LOS, great job! I will test it out later..
Is it possible for you to add Fauxsound sound control to the kernel in a future release?

I don't think that's the greatest idea as faux sound is notorious for being buggy/breaking **** when not implemented properly.
An alternative would be boeffla sound or something, I'll look for an alternative and contribute it to this project.

---

@stefx98 as @_LLJY said I will explore other options

---

Ok, keep up your good work

---

Hi!
Thanks for your work. So this kernel is based on 3.4, right? and it's only for Lineage OS?
Thanks!

Fauxsound is dead since Marshmallow, it is now deprecated, and should not be used.
I read about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65346831
It says that fauxsound is bad for the kernel.

This is nice - Well done panzerox!
Don't know if its easy to implement but UV (under volting...) would be nice as well...
Otherwise I'm with you... Some Govs, some I/Os, OC CPU/GPU and done...
But take this as an future suggestion. I'm still not using LOS so I have no vote here actually

I might have added undervolting at some point during the last 2 months

/Good job/

QC2.0 is under testing right now . I do not have a QC charger so I have to rely on other's testing.
Yes. Ive tried applying the patches .... Spent 8 hours trying to do it and I got tonnes and tonnes of errors . Ill try again some other time.

Custom kernel for LOS, nice one :victory:
As for new features, from top of my head:
1. Intelliplug hotplug (MPdecision is terrible)
2. GPU lowest freq 27mhz
3. Adreno idler (I saw you mentioned it already)
4. Simple GPU algorithm (by faux if I recall correctly)
Those GPU features should help to improve battery life, as I think the Simple GPU algorithm keeps GPU freq at lowest (27mhz if included) while using the phone, as opposed to 200mhz which is the behavior ATM.
I can't test the kernel sadly since top of my touch has stopped working (was unglued before - f*cking Sony) and I'm in process of selling it, I might go with another Z3C again, however I'm leaning towards Z3, anyway this suggestions should further improve the kernel.
Cheers

1. Sure
2. I have just changed lowest to 100mhz rather than 27mhz ... Just to suppress the lag. Ofcourse it can be changed
3. I actually have mentioned that I won't be adding adreno idler. Took me several tries to get compile with it... And when I did, it didn't work properly . :silly:
4. Yup. That's a good suggestion ... Though I'm not sure, I might have added it already. The feature list is what I remember adding. You can look at my GitHub for all the features.
That's sad. I had the same issue and got it replaced under warranty . My battery has actually weakened drastically. So I have upgraded my device and given the z3c to my brother (getting battery replaced soon). So the z3c is my main Dev device for now :laugh:
I hope you can get it fixed

Supersu does not work with this kernel :c appears "boot image patcher failure" in TWRP

IMHO,
Closed source SuperSu (since v2.76* approximately. was the last by the real, Chainfire after he sold it to CodingCode, who nobody knows) is both a privacy and security concern: SuperSu now belongs to CodingCode which is a subsidiary to a large global telecommunications company, JJWorld Network Technology Co., LTD. Beijing China. I don't trust it and why the secrecy. This is the reason behind the sudden rise of both opensourced: Pierre-Hugues SuperUser and TopJohnWu's Magisk Manager. (Both rapidly playing catch up)
I would never give administrative rights to an authority I do not know, use at your own risk.
[emoji7]
*Some v2.76 stable were being supplied by Chinese website's even before Chainfire had officially released his v2.76, due to a communication error and without his knowledge, and had contained a bug that v2.76 was designed to fix.

Flashing magisk or anything that involves patching is an issue now. I'll try to fix it ASAP.

---

New Build out:
-QC2.0
-Changed Min GPU Frequency
-Fixed issues with installing Magisk and other boot image patchers

thanks for your great job. i wonder, is it hard to make it flashable zip? cause it's more practical from adb..
