Wow Sultan kernel on the Pixel 3 !
What a great surprise!
Thank you very much for that
Hi there,
I can't open the front camera with your kernel
Do you have any suggestion please?
Thank you

It is noticeably faster than the last build and the front camera works. However, opening apps and switching between seems less smooth than the stock kernel

A new build is up in the first post with lots of fixes and improvements. Flash that one.
@Sultanxda can you bump up the linux stable version to latest one on the kernel? I started experiencing white screen flashes while waking the device after using the 3/3 kernel. This did not happen on Kirisakura, so flashed that back to check and yes it didn't happen anymore. I saw that your kernel is based on 4.9.124 while Kirisakura based on 4.9.161. Now I dont know if that is actually causing it or not but it's that difference I can see from outside, it's possible some other fixes/patches might also be there.
If anyone else experiencing the white flashes on the 3/3 build please ping.

I haven't experienced white flashes on this build, will continue using it for a day more and report back if I notice it.
Update: I experienced the white flashes twice
i got this very bizzare issue after flashing this kernel for the very first time, on every boot of the phone now, i get this message that my device *is* corrupt and blah blah but nothing is actually wrong with the phone (i also have to press the power button in order to continue the normal boot sequence), it didnt resolve even after flashing other kernels ( no data wiped, that is last resort ) so i was wondering if anyone has any insight on this cuz it really bugs me every time ?

That's not because of the kernel. It's because you have an unlocked bootloader. The message is normal after unlocking the bootloader. That said, it's harmless and there's nothing you can do about it. Well, other than relock your bootloader.
Yeah but it didnt appear like that prior to flashing sultan. What i am talking about appears before the warning for the bootloader, and doesnt continue until the power is pressed

This is my Squid Kernel for the 2015 Moto E LTE. It's based off the stock kernel available on Motorola's GitHub. Flash it using TWRP. Bug reports and contributions are welcome.
This is a development thread. Questions should go in the Q&A thread.
Disclaimer:
This is for the 2015 Moto E LTE only! Version r22b and up require ROMs with an updated ACDB (audio calibration database) loader, such as LineageOS 14.1 builds from January 2018 and newer. If your ROM has an incompatible ACDB loader, you may experience low audio volume. Stick with version r22 for Marshmallow ROMs (including stock) and older Nougat ROMs without an updated ACDB loader.
You must update your modem to the Android 5.1 version or newer for the r12 kernel and newer to work properly. You can find modems in the modems thread. If you can't find an up to date modem for your variant and are running a Marshmallow ROM, try the older r15c version. The r6-r11e kernels are for 5.1 ROMs only. Don't flash this on the 3G model. This kernel is provided AS-IS, with no warranties. I am not responsible for bricking your device. Flash at your own risk.

Squid TWRP
I also have a TWRP build that uses my kernel, compiled from source with the OmniRom tree. Links for it are it are on the main download tab. My device tree for it is on GitHub. My device tree is based off Cybojenix's TWRP tree for this device, but it uses a special stripped down version of my kernel instead of the prebuilt stock kernel. That is why my TWRP is 4 MB smaller than the Cybojenix version.
The latest build of my TWRP shows the correct time and includes hardware encryption support (thanks @vlcdsm).
UPDATE: I've made a separate thread for this TWRP.
Installation Instructions
The r11e version is the latest for Lollipop 5.1 ROMs. CM12.1 users and LPI23.29 stock users should use the version posted here. Users of the new LPI23.72 stock 5.1.1 should use the osprey version instead. See squid_kernel_r11e-osprey-stock.zip
For CM13 and similar Marshmallow ROMs, use my latest version (r12 at the moment).
My suggested install procedure:
Boot into TWRP (make sure you have a suitable ROM installed)
Flash my kernel zip.
Reboot into Android.
After following these steps, you will be running my new kernel. You can verify in Settings->About phone->Kernel version. If the ROM behaves strangely on first boot, reboot the phone. It should be stable after the second boot.
Attention 5.0 Stock ROM Users:
The latest versions of this kernel (r6 and up) are only for 5.1 ROMs. I suggest that you update to 5.1 if possible. If you need to stay on 5.0 and want my kernel, you will need to use the old r5 version.
Lionfish and Recommended Settings
My new Lionfish governor combines traits of the conservative, ondemand, and interactive governors. It is designed to maximize battery life without noticeably impacting performance. It responds quickly to heavy loads (similar to ondemand and interactive) while staying within the region of optimal CPU performance per watt. With moderate loads, it periodically votes to raise, maintain, or decrease the frequency. When there are enough votes to change the frequency, it is ramped up and down gradually. The voting mechanism reduces frequency jitter compared to ondemand and conservative. My testing had found that this governor uses moderate frequencies (where efficiency is optimal) more effectively than interactive, ondemand, and conservative. This improved frequency distribution results in a moderate reduction in CPU power consumption while maintaining responsiveness comparable to the interactive governor.
IntelliPlug is enabled by default in this kernel. The default governor is still interactive. For optimal performance and battery life, I recommend using the fiops IO scheduler, Lionfish governor, and lowering the CPU idle frequency to 400 MHz (from the default of 800 MHz). The combination of IntelliPlug, Lionfish, undervolting, and reducing idle to 400 MHz should result in a CPU power consumption reduction of around 20% compared to the stock kernel. This will typically correspond to 8-15% increase in battery life compared to the stock configuration.
Well my phone is acting up, and I need to go ahead and start testing roms and things, but this seems like a great way to go! Anyone try this yet? Or will I be the first one? Thanks for your work dev!

Hmm, WiFi works fine for me. My kernel requires signed kernel modules, but I do provide a Pronto WLAN driver signed for my kernel in the zip. Could you post the output of dmesg right after your phone boots up? Maybe that would give me a hint as to the cause.
Is anyone else having WiFi issues?

Alright! everything working great! Everything works on my end, but I did notice a SLIGHT slowdown on the device with this kernel, but hey it's totally worth it for the root and everything working
My Steps:
I came from a fresh device (Moto E 2015 4g Unlocked GSM) which I never took the time to do anything so here's what i did
1. Unlock Bootloader using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...tool-moto-e-toolkit-one-click-unlock-t3047150
- Just follow the step and it worked fine for me! however, It wouldnt allow me to flash the recovery, it would just crash so...
2. Install TWRP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/orig-development/twrp-moto-e-2015-recovery-t3049726
- I had to boot into fastboot (Hold Power and volume Down) and boot into my linux (ubuntu) to run the commands and successfully install the recovery
3. Boot into recovery, and BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!
- To boot into recovery, I boot into fastboot, then use the volume keys until the little Dialog says recovery, the press power. I made a backup with twrp, Forgetting this step sucks, never forget...
4. Flash the kernel
- I flashed the kernel from twrp first to see if it had root pre-installed but it doesn't (Didnt check, but there was no supersu so I'm assuming so). Also, didnt check camera at this point
5. Install superSU/Root from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/ . Thank you to spblinux for this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59761431&postcount=46
- I flashed the zip through twrp, and everything is working fine, and this is where I am now!
Thanks to the dev for his work. I will report back with more usage and thoguhts later!
Edit: Sorry for the typos, I'm a lazy typer. And Dont forget to hit the thanks button to the devs, and also me if I helped you out!
Edit:Edit: The download link is in the first post, there's some tabs at the top that link to it! (Took me a while to fins it haha)

I looked through your dmesg log and didn't see anything too noteworthy. I saw one potentially relevant message (below) that came from a piece of code that I added.
Code:
<3>[ 21.821810,1] subsys-pil-tz a21b000.qcom,pronto: wcnss: Failed to load blob wcnss.b11. Retrying. ERR -2
In my testing, I had encountered a race condition that caused WiFI firmware blobs to sometimes fail to load. I implemented a hack to retry loading firmware blobs if the initial loading failed. Quite often, at least one blob seems to fail to load the first time through, but it always works on the second attempt. The same thing happened on your end, as wcnss.b11 failed to load the first time through, but it successfully loaded on the second attempt. Anyway, I don't think this blob is the problem.
Have you tried rebooting and checking if WiFi works after that? I've never had any WiFi issues with my kernel, but I just want to rule out a race condition being the cause of your issue.
One more thing: Could you post the output of "cat /proc/modules" when WiFi is not working?
CDMA Variant Support
On the Q&A thread, bzo22 reported that the Boost Mobile version (XT1526) fails to read the SIM card when running this kernel. I did some preliminary investigation and found that the ramdisks differ. All Canadian variants of the XT1527 (Telus, Videotron, Rogers, and Wind) have the same CID and run the exact same software, free of carrier crapware, bloatware, or spyware. The unlocked variants sold on Motorola's website in the US should also be crapware free, though they have a different CID. However, the Boost Mobile variant is full of carrier specific stuff.
Test Kernel for CDMA Variant
Alright Boost Mobile people, I've made a test kernel for the CDMA variant. I don't know if it will work. Try it out and let me know whether or not your cellular connectivity works.
For some reason, XDA is giving me an "Upload Error: 500" when trying to post it to the downloads section, so I am attaching it to this post instead.
Reminder: THIS TEST KERNEL IS FOR THE LTE CDMA VARIANT (XT1526) ONLY! For the LTE GSM version (XT1527), use the normal version in the downloads section.
Confirmed new kernel is working with cmda variant and yes camera is working

i keep the kernel all the day and it is stable.
concerning wifi i try multiple time to reboot but always unable to turn on
i set minimal frequencie at 200 mhz but the kernel seem unable to reach this minimal ,i think undervolted is the reason of this difficulty being stable at lower frequencie,it is bad for battery life .

It looks like the kernel refuses to load modules on your phone. Rather strange, as the provided signed modules seem to work fine for everyone else. What happens when you do this on the phone:
Code:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/pronto/pronto_wlan.ko
As for the 200 MHz step, I don't think undervolting has anything to do with it. It's probably the governor's fault. Try switching to the ondemand governor. I'm fairly confident that all frequencies will work. With that said, I found that setting the base frequency to 400 MHz gives a smoother experience without hurting battery life noticeably.

You must have a module version mismatch. This shouldn't happen, as the correct modules are provided in the zip. Which recovery did you use to flash my kernel? Did you use the TWRP linked in the first post, a different TWRP, or a different recovery altogether? When you go into the Settings->About Phone, what does it indicate as the kernel version?

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.

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

Hi @By Zonik ..
Waiting for your rom (v2) bro..
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!

DESCRIPTION
Hey guys, I have started a custom Kernel based on LineageOS sources with 98% CAF. So I would like to share my own performance and usability improvements with minimal feature and enhancements on top. The intention is to have a minimal light-weight kernel that is very fine tuned for the device.
FEATURES
Minimal Kernel with a stripped defconfig base to be more streamlined and have less memory footprint
User space display color calibration (KCAL) with screen calibrated against iPhone 8 Plus, also helps reducing screen retention
Schedutil governor making use of EAS features with updates from Linux 4.4 and 4.12
Up to date with LineageOS sources for maximum compatibility and security bugfixes
Memory and cache subsystem optimizations, you will feel it
Adaptive LMK enabled by default
Transparent Hugepages are enabled
ZRAM/Swap partition is disabled by default
BFQ IO scheduler set by default to avoid slow-downs on task intensive scenarios
No overclocking was chosen to avoid unnecessary heat, optimizations were focused on other different areas
Kernel Samepage Sharing enabled with deferred timer by default to gain some memory usage optimizations, the process sleeps on regular basis and I've profiled it so that there's no battery drains due to it
Simple temperature controls for msm_thermals exposed
Compiled with GCC 6.x optimized toolchain and -O3 plus other hardware specific flags
Undervolted the Adreno 530 GPU voltage rail to keep things cooler
CAF Rebase on major portions of the Kernel has helped lower the memory footprint a lot
ES9218 Quad DAC automatic toggling working inside the kernel for headphone HIFI playback, please read here for details

SOURCE
V20-Kernel-Gamma GitHub Source
NOTES
Here is a GeekbenchV4 result example : http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/7618872
These is intended to be used primarily with LineageOS, I have not tested other ROM's
Since LineageOS uses a way newer Bluetooth stack, this Kernel will most likely not work on old ROM's such as ResurrectionRemix
This will not work with LineageOS 15.1, please see the other thread
KNOWN BUGS
When using v1.0.0 will fail to boot if you had Magisk previously installed. Please install something newer if using Magisk.
When using v13.0.0 - v15.x.x infrared remote control will not work.
I would also like to thanks to various people who contribute tremendously such as:
@x86cpu
@EvilHowl
@USA-RedDragon
@savoca
@albinoman887
@emdroidle
@Rashed97

Kernel Special Features:
Version Information
Status: No Longer Updated
Current Stable Version: 46.0.0
Stable Release Date: 2018-07-11
Created 2017-12-10
Last Updated 2018-10-22
CHANGELOG
46.0.0 - Started msm_irqbalance by default on boot, disabled lp11 and enabled allow mdss phy powerdown during idle screen.
45.0.0 - Smoother memlat ramp and tuned the schedTune DVR cpusets a bit for better performance overall.
44.0.0 - More deep sleep enhancements.
43.0.0 - Update to Oreo TouchScreen firmware and more MDSS PLL merge fixes that help deep sleep.
42.0.0 - Missing MDSS Oreo merges are now in place.
41.0.0 - Added IPA_WS as a default in the wakelock blocker, as well as enabling CONFIG_PM_SLEEP which if missing would in turn cause some ueventd wakeups.
40.0.0 - Disabled CONFIG_RMNET_DATA_DEBUG_PKT. Full fix for USB OTG and added missing slimport drivers. Tweaked the random wakeup values, added some extra cpusets based on Marlin's android-cts-8.0_r8/init.common.rc and fixed some BFQ IO possible hang.
39.0.0 - Disabled CONFIG_RMNET_DATA_DEBUG_PKT. Full fix for USB OTG and added missing slimport drivers.
38.2.0 - Removed LGE's battery manager alarms.
38.1.0 - Fixed potential wireless packet loss.
38.0.0 - Further tweaked the wlan_rx_wake wakelock, migrated the audio and thermal workers to power efficient queues, and added an arm64 prefetching optimization for memcpy.
37.0.0 - Better deep sleep enhancements with the charger infrastructure borrowed from the V30 Kernel Oreo sources.
36.0.0 - Full fix for 6a00000.ssusb wakelocks while keeping fast charging enabled.
34.0.0 - Added boeffla_wl_blocker to tame NETLINK wakelock, this wakelock is caused by IPC between the wireless driver in the Kernel and Android. This was the reason why when on wireless the battery would drain more compared than radio. Also disabled OTG as this keeps the phone from deep-sleeping for now.
33.0.0 - Enabled OTG.
32.0.0 - Fixed a bug from Oreo merge that causes video to go green and crash sometimes. Disabled ZRAM from the compilation rather than AnyKernel patch.
31.0.0 - Merged some V20 Oreo Kernel changes in, as well as some DAC enhancements to prevent popping, better USB PD and QC 2.0/3.0 charging code.
30.0.0 - Oreo Kernel changes in, trying to unify the Kernel to keep support for a little while on 14.1.
29.0.0 - Merged msm idle from Linux 4.4 as well as full EAS 1.4 support from Linux 4.4, reduced the memory subsystem timer ramp values for speedier operation.
27.0.0 - Enabled wifi.supplicant_scan_interval on boot, and disabled IPv4 TCP Timestamps and ICMP responses as well as CCKM fast secure roaming.
26.0.0 - Full EAS 1.4 from Wahoo (Pixel 2XL) backported.
25.0.0 - Updated EAS (schedutil, walt, fair scheduler) to be in sync with Wahoo (Pixel 2XL) latest changes.
24.0.0 - Fixed another performance regression in multi-core scores within schedutil.
23.0.0 - Screen brightness is 50% while booting to reduce heat when it is regenerating cache on boot. v22.1.0 was 25% but this was barely visible if you were rebooting under direct sunlight. So went for the safe value.
22.1.0 - Reduced the screen brightness while booting to reduce the heat of the device during cache wipes.
22.0.0 - WALT and schedutil cpufreq commit fixes backported from RenderBroken.
21.0.0 - The GPU Voltage rail undrervolt is now ~60 mV, do not see any problem and games run way cooler.
20.0.0 - After feedback on frequency utilization/distribution I've put 3 WELT commits that should help alleviate this. And enabled some extra configurations from our wireless driver for better power savings.
19.0.0 - Trimmed around ~40 mV from the GPU voltage rails, and updating the wireless stack to DHD 1.80.13 - 2017.06.22, from us997 V16a.
17.0.0 - Increased the multi-core benchmark scores.
16.1.0 - Reverted the binder to be Nougat only, since Oreo support will be on a separate Kernel anyway. Fixed the Infrared Remote Control support that I had broken, and tuned the memory scaling to be more responsive.
15.0.0 - More audio fixes. This audio CAF merging has fixed the speaker-phone that suddenly stops recording or suddenly stops recieving audio from the phone call in LineageOS. Also have increased the schedutil timer values to be similar to the Pixel 2 XL (Wahoo). And finally have fixed a CONFIG_LGE_PM_LGE_POWER_CLASS_CHARGER_SLEEP problem, so that the charger module now sleeps better and uses less power in idle.
14.0.0 - Updated WALT (Window Assisted Load Tracking) fixes aggregated by RenderBroken. Fixed an audio bug introduced in 13.0.0 where headphone insertion could change the sampling rate of other audio sessions. Changed again the schedutil timer values to favor benchmarks a tiny bit and increased the external SD read-ahead and minimum number of requests so that there is better merging when using slow SD cards while keeping the internal storage device in a low-latency configuration.
13.0.0 - Merged CAF audio upstream changes and enabled transparent hugepages.
12.0.0 - Tuned the memory subsystem frequency scaling parameters further down to focus on batter savings as well as the EAS timers.
11.0.0 - Added cpuidle optimizations to idle more, bumped up the memlatency trigger.
10.2.0 - Reintroduced back QuickCharge 2.0 and QuickCharge 3.0 fast charging support into the Kernel.
10.0.0 - Bumped up the Kernel to version 3.18.71.
9.0.0 - Full arm64 arch CAF update done to the Kernel based on CAF LA.UM.6.5.r1-05300-8x96.0. Added support for H918 variant too.
8.2.0 - Partial update to get the Kernel in a big percent that of CAF LA.UM.6.5.r1-05300-8x96.0, no bugs introduced and using a CAF / LineageOS kernel base. Using the binder interface that works both for Android Oreo and Nougat to be prepared for Lineage15. Also fixed a bug that I had introduced in previous versions related to wireless access point, hence why I had pulled versions 7.x from the server.
4.1.0 - Reintroduced into the LineageOS kernel the partial-update in the panel, to gain some power savings and overall performance feeling when refreshing the panel and screen elements.
4.0.0 - Raised the EAS schedutil timers and the memlat governor threshold to kick in faster. This will bring up the responsiveness to similar levels to HMP even when still using EAS. Brought back KSM after profiling on battery utilization, it doesn't hurt as long as a the timer value is between 4000.
3.0.x - Bugfixes and testing with Magisk compatibility, I think there are no more compatibility problems with Magisk after this, had to remove KSM for testing.
1.0.0 - Initial version, with KCAL, and streamlined defconfig based on cm-14.1 kernel sources and minor commits on top.

I don't know how 'in-depth' testing I can do. But I'll be willing to do what I can!
I'll be flashing this soon.
I'm on Desolation ROM, VS995. I'll report back. Thanks for your hard work!
Edit: not necessarily a problem, but it has static on boot.

Oh, I didn't compile specifically for VS995 so it will have static on boot. Since these two are mostly the same devices I might give u a VS995 Kernel next week with that static gone.
Here are some Geekbench results in case anyone is interested : http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/5506983
Great to have someone finally building an AOSP kernel!
Any chance you'll be compiling for the H918 sometime in the future? No worries if you aren't. I'm just curious =p

That sounds great! I'll look forward to it! But I'm about 12-14hrs in the kernel now, and so far so good! With normal usage.
Have updated Kernel to 1.1.0 version with two minor changes that improve the performance by quite a big. Figured out the OP3 and the Marlin Kernel was using 300 Hz tick timers. But for some reason our Kernel was only using 100 Hz tick's. So two changes in this version.
1. Enable high-res timers for schedulercks
2. arm64: hz: make it configurable
Click to expand...

Plus I have decided to go on and change the perfd binary again. I was not aware how much of impact this has to EAS and the fluidity, since with EAS the input freq boost in the Kernel is now gone. You can read more about it here : https://github.com/EAS-Project/android_device_voxpopuli in the README.md. I am not yet using 100% of the capabilities of Vox Populi Power HAL but a lot of features from it turned off for now.

Most likely yes, but after I polish a few features and once I am 100% happy with the performance
Hmm... Oddly enough if I install I get stuck into a boot loop. Not even a LineageOS boot animation. I am and will continue to use Magisk, even flashed all 3.

I only tried the latest one. I did not try without Magisk though or the older version, the all 3 reference was all 3 files you had. gamma/vox/thermal.
I noticed in your thermal, that the camera files are the same as Lineage, so you could take those out. I also took out the mixer one as I bumped those VOL up as it was hard to hear on calls without it. If you do find any adjustments that the op3 or marlin did, we might be able to get those into the Lineage msm8996 kernel. Ideally, the commits from op3 in the Lineage tree, then I can cherry pick it to preserve history. I'm all for getting things into Lineage where we can.

So I got home to try just in case @x86cpu and I was able to flash Magisk-v14.5(1456).zip after all of the 3 files had been flashed on my system and it booted fine.... so I've re-uploaded the Kernel as v1.1.1 in the downloads section just in case...
Wiped /system (as I had su from LineageOS flashed before)
Flashed system with lineage-us996-*.zip
Flashed OpenGapps
Flashed perfd update (2nd of my zips)
Flashed the 'hotfixes' (3rd of my zips)
Flashed gamma-kernel (1st zip)
Flashed Magisk-v14.5(1456).zip
Hit reboot
If you can let me know if the v1.1.1 version works on your side then I can blame the bad upload. If not I can do more experiments to see if there is some other condition that depends on the order of flashing with my AnyKernel approach... and then I can try and replicate and fix it , please do let me know...
UPDATE: I am able to hit the failure now @x86cpu... let me see if AnyKernel needs any update or something to allow to re-install the Kernel if Magisk is already pre-installed. In order to hit it I had to:
Wiped /system (as I had su from LineageOS flashed before)
Flashed system with lineage-us996-*.zip
Flashed OpenGapps
Flashed perfd update (2nd of my zips)
Flashed the 'hotfixes' (3rd of my zips)
Flashed Magisk-v14.5(1456).zip
Flashed gamma-kernel (1st zip)
Hit reboot
Essentially flashing the Kernel last... which might be a common thing that could happen, let me polish that up...
I've uploaded flashable-us996-gamma-kernel-v1.2.0.zip now with an updated AnyKernel script that seems to now be working even with Magisk installed previously. Thanks to @x86cpu for reporting this bug.

I just installed the v1.1.1 before the fix. So. In other words before I saw this update, I just flashed it with no wiping, Desolation rom, and it booted fine, it's just now, in Magisk I can't pass cts or basic integrity. I'll try your updated method and see if that fixes the problem.
Edit: did the above steps, minus wiping twice and flashing the hot fixes twice. Rebooted it. And now I can successfully pass safetynet on the latest gamma kernel!
Edit#2: false hope, my apologies, safetynet apparently isn't passed.
Edit#3: okay. I had a blonde moment. I forgot to wipe my dalvik. It passes now.
What do the HAL's do? And what order should I flash the zips?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The order doesn't matter as they are independent. And I would suggest you read about the EAS perfd HAL in here : README.md
However keep in mind that I haven't implemented all of the VoxPopuli features from the HAL in the AnyKernel as it needs some SELInux permissions updates (which I can do later on). But without all of those enhancements it will behave like the Pixel HAL.

Installation instructions (for first-time installation):
First, perform a backup of your existing setup, and then perform a clean install (wipe /data and /system; TWRP is recommended). Next, try flashing the ROM and see if it installs; if it installs without any issues then congratulations! Now just flash a Google apps package, Magisk if you want root access, and then reboot.
If you get an error when trying to install the ROM ("dumpling.verify_modem" error), then go to the Firmware link in the Downloads section and flash the firmware package. Once you flash the firmware zip file, you can install the ROM.
Installation instructions (for updating to a newer release):
If you are already running this ROM, then you can update to a newer version of the ROM via the built-in OTA updater or by simply dirty-flashing the new ROM build without wiping anything. HOWEVER, do NOT reinstall Google Apps after installing a new update.

FAQ:
1. Why did you underclock the CPU?
Answer: At the underclocked frequency, the amount of heat generated by the CPU is quite a bit less, so the CPU is throttled less often (leading to a better user experience), and battery life is better as well. The performance difference while underclocked is also not really noticeable unless you use a benchmark application.

How to set up the charging speed interface in Kernel Adiutor?
First thing, download the attached zip and decompress it. You'll find two .json files in it, place them in your internal storage and open KA. Go in the "Custom controls" tab, tap on the "+" button, choose "Import" and select the first of the files you downloaded, then import the second one too. Done! You can now delete the two files.
Keep in mind that the "0" value means that the standard charging logic will be used, and that the AC charging speed cannot be set to a value lower than 200 mAh, even though the slider allows you to set any value. If you set any value between 1 and 199, the driver will fallback to 200.
working fine with AEX 5.7.
is it compatible with oxygen os blobs or sultan blobs?
Running well for me on AEX 5.7.

Starting from Oreo, all ROMs implement Sultan's camera, thus this kernel only supports Sultan's camera HAL.
New version is available
It's an important updates that brings lots of improvements (mainly "under the hood"), for more info I suggest you to check my Github repo!

You just need to flash it, then flash the Kernel Permissive Patcher (link - needed to set SELinux to Permissive before booting the OS) and you should be good to go. If you try, let me know the result!
What is the stock setting this kernel comes in? I want to try it but don't want to use root (for now). So I'm wondering what settings are default. Would kinda make this a flash and forget kinda kernel

The stock settings are kind of good. Not the best you could get, but close (I'll tweak the default configuration a little more in the future). If you're using idprophecy's ROM you will end up having maple as the default I/O scheduler, while if you're using other ROMs, I'm pretty sure you won't. Anyway, if you flash this kernel, I'm sure you'll benefit from the general improvements I implemented, which do not need any tweak to be enabled.
Works well on following ROMs;
-AOSiP 20180825( Argon v1 )
-TugaPower O25 ( Argon v2 )

I have the same thing on all ROMs based on the LOS core. And this kernel is based, as I understand it, on the LOS core ... For example, with FranoKernel there are no such problems.

I have the same thing on all ROMs based on the LOS core. And this kernel is based, as I understand it, on the LOS core ... For example, with FranoKernel there are no such problems.

I experience the same issue when using a certain non-original (yet good-quality) cable. The weird thing is that if I charge the phone while it's turned off, it charges perfectly. Anyway, I can try to fix this issue. It shouldn't be difficult. I'll keep you informed.
Good to see you're still contributing for Bacon.

Yesterday I tried to send you message, but it is why it is not sent... I agree
I've uploaded a new kernel!
Argon v3 is a small yet important update: it brings DDR bandwidth boost on screen unlock (basically, the RAM bandwidth is boosted when you unlock your phone so that opening an app immediately after waking the device from idle takes less time) and some general fixes & improvements for the kernel. More details are available on Github, as usual

I've been loving the Kernel on AEX 5.7, but I've needed to reboot a few times because the screen won't turn on, or the screen has frozen.
Do you think that could be from the default underclock?
@Ruggerxpunk Same issue on my side since V2 version, but I don't have any logs cause I'm not using it at this moment.
