Hiya fellas.
This is a sister project to the custom kernel I compiled for the original Moto G, for AOSP/Lineage/et cetera.
But my Moto G died months ago, and I, also months ago, got my hands into a Moto G5s, for which I compiled this kernel. I believe it's the only stock ROM-compatible custom kernel built for this device so far.
This will only work with Oreo. But if there's enough interest, I have some (older) Nougat-compatible builds ready.
Features:
Sources & Optimizations
- Based on Motorola's shared MSM8937/53 sources (cedric, potter, montana and sanders all use the same kernel source code)
- Compiled with Linaro 5.5
- Kernel-side NEON mode
- Some miscellaneous armv7 tweaks

Flashing & Tweaking Instructions (Follow this very carefully!!!):
- Place the zip at the root of your phone's internal storage
- Reboot into recovery
- Flash the zip
(Another way: Reboot into recovery without copying the zip, and flash it via adb sideload)
- Reboot again and have fun!
If you wanna "tweak ALL the things", use Kernel Adiutor!

F.A.Q. (Read this before crying!!!!)
Q: Why did you develop this kernel?
A: Because there was none for this poor device :/
Q: ERMAHGERD DIS KERNEL SUCKZ, MAH BATTERY IS DEAD IN 30 MINS, PLZ HALP!
A: When I created this kernel, I never had the intention to have it decrease battery life. So before / instead of complaining, check your wakelocks and fix them if you need to! The kernel (hopefully) isn't responsible for this, your apps and/or services are.
Q: Will this kernel work on AOSP/CM12.1/CM13 ROMs?
A: No. Stock ROM only.
Q: How do I report bugs?
A: If you wanna report a bug, then grab your kernel log - either by pulling /proc/last_kmsg (in case of a random reboot / kernel panic or oops) or copying the output of "dmesg" via shell - and paste it at pastie.org and link it in your post (or save it to a text file and attach it to your post). Don't bother getting logcats, they don't apply for kernel debugging purposes.
Q: How do I flash this?
A: I suggest you scroll up and read the OP. The instructions are there.
Q: How do I tweak this kernel?
A: Download Kernel Adiutor from the Play Store and have fun. No Synapse support!
Q: This kid is such a n00b!
A: Oh well then, why don't you go work on a kernel yourself, instead of criticizing my work?

You mean there's a Pixel Experience ROM with a broken kernel, and if it'll work with my kernel. No, it won't. This kernel is designed for the stock ROM only. Plus, Oreo 8.1 custom roms are 64 bit, the stock one is 32 bit.

Custom kernel installed in stock 8.1 rom and working fine for me, thanks

The slow fingerprint wakeup and slow responsiveness can be solved using this kernel?

Hello @Kamin4ri . I'm interested in developing for montana . What branch to start from on your kernel tree for making the kernel for stock rom?

Hi there. You can use the stockmoto_oreo branch as it is pretty much ready. If you want to start clean, you can hard-reset the branch to this commit via "git reset --hard (commit hash)".

---

Does this kernel have any bugs?

---

@Kamin4ri can you generate/create 64bit config for montana? Of course we talk about oreo branch. Thanks in advance

Well, I found no bugs. No difference in battery drain either. But consider this kernel still a test version.

I'm not an expert in kernels, but in my opinon, your tweaks should be on the end of file because it can be overwritten if its duplicated somewhere further in config file
