Thread is updated, there's also a new KRAKEN version! Enjoy it and report problems as usual.
Nice Kernel!!!
Could you add Spectrum support in your Kernel?
Hi, I flashed the kernel in the new OneUI 2.0 Android 10 and it caused bootloop, I tried the other kernel and it didn't work too. My device is A600G with latest Android 10 build.
Edit: Sorry the problem is not the kernel I tried to flash only TWRP and got bootloop again.

I see. That's why u are trying different kernel. I just got back to android 9 because i can't stand the lag. Luckily they got the same Bootloader so downgrade is possible. Will not upgrade to Q unless the lag is fixed.
there is a new version, RC13 still works with Pie OneUI. Meanwhile 13.1 is only for Q OneUI
And RC14 oneui is only for android 10 right?

deepsleep over sleep
Every 1 minute screen off then the phone going to freeze and must force shut down (vol down + power).
Idk this bug from kernel or just from my gsi
Edit : the problem is from kraken kernel not gsi.. Solve by installing coronos kernel v5 and my phone stable now..
I hope kraken fix it for next update
nice kernel bro!!!

Q: What is QV version?
A: QV means "qualcomm voltages". qualcomm made a patch and stuck all voltages to 1150mv to improve stability. QV version has got all 1150 mv for each freq (like older 3.4 kernels).Q: I plugged in my pen drive but i can't found it
A: look in /mnt/usbdisk folder.Q: What's and how i enable/disable fastcharge?
A: with fast charge an USB charger will recognized as AC charger. it won't charge your phone faster with an AC charger. it may not charge your phone faster with an USB charger.
with the usb cable UNPLUGGED edit /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge:
0 -> disable
1 -> enable
than plug in the cableQ: i've got random reboots, what do you need?
A: first read here
write this info:
kernel version
ROM
governor
scheduler
undervolted? if yes don't undervolt
QV version? if no use it
last_kmsg
Q: what's BLN and how i enable/disable it?
with BLN on when you received a notify the soft key will blink.
to enable/disable edit /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/blink_buttons:
0 -> disable
1 -> enableQ: what's s2w and how i enable/disable it?
Sweep2wake allows you to wake up your device by swiping your finger across the capacitive buttons from left to right. Swiping from right to left will put it back to sleep (sweep2sleep).
to enable/disable edit /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake:
0 -> disable
1 -> enableQ: what's dt2w and how i enable/disable it?
DoubleTap2Wake (DT2W) allows you to wake the device by double tapping the capacitive buttons.
to enable/disable edit /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake:
0 -> disable
1 -> enableWhat's sleepy_plug and how can i activate/deactivate it?
sleepy plug it's an hotplug driver (it decide when turn on the second core) i wrote. it's an experimental driver and it may have got performance problem. if you notice some decrease in performance report it.
to enable/disable edit /sys/module/sleepy_plug/parameters/sleepy_plug_active:
0 -> disable
1 -> enableInstall instruction:S-OFF:
- flash the zip in recovery
- wipe caches (optional)S-ON:
Windows & Linux:
flash kernel zip.
stay in recovery after flashing the zip
from command prompt (ot terminal) on PC:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/newboot.img
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot newboot.img
fastboot reboot
OLD S-ON INSTRUCTION:
Linux:
- flash awesome kernel cleaning script: http://d-h.st/HDi (optional)
- flash the zip in recovery (obsolete, for older kernels with modules outside built outside)
- use zImage switcher to make a new boot.img
-
Code:
fastboot flash boot newBoot.img
Windows: (don't ask me how it works or everything else, i don't know and they have got tutorials on their site)
- repack your ROM boot.img with mine zImage using Virtuous Ten Studio http://www.virtuous-ten-studio.com/index.php/downloads
-
Code:
fastboot flash boot newBoot.img
Bugs 3.4:
None
If you want to use my kernel for your ROM just use it and cit me in credits
Great thread and great work. I will be flashing this tonight over a fresh install of snapshot M5 CM11! I'll let you know how it runs, hopefully smooth as butter. Thanks again

Inviato dal mio One S utilizzando Tapatalk
looks great.. just flashed CV on new cm11 nightly.. bootloops htc screen
Non QV bootloops on HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. CM 11 4/14 nightly. I'll try the QV another day.
I think I used wrong voltages for you, freq it's 1.5 GHz instead 1.2. I'll make another version asap
I'm running CM11 snapshot M5, I'm not sure which version to flash. Thanks for the work!
Sent from my Incredible 4G LTE using Tapatalk
try the new version!
still no boot for me, tried new non-qv..
and this one? http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407590054
^^ there we go! that one works so far so good.. only thing i noticed is max cpu option is still 1728, i don't think this phone can go above 1512, but i may be wrong?
edit: also, trying to disable the button backlight is buggy. the 3 lights will still blink intermittently..

officially only 1242MHz even ... but it runs fine at the usual (slight) OC 1458MHz or 1512 ... but also 1674 is fine ... just consumes more battery and gets hotter. even up to 1809MHz should be stable for most, but that is way to hot and batt-sucking imho!
official booting version is up, i limited OC to 1.5, 1.7 is too much xD

for reference our/my: on the Infernal / Infernal-K99 (ICS-Sense custom kernel) ... 1512 / 1458 was set as the std max CPU freq, but we allowed up to 1809 on Infernal (which I admit is rather really high xD) ... and 1674 max OC on Infernal-K99 => the max OC of 1674 is usually auto-selected for the 2nd-core on demand whereas the 1st core admits to whatever limit is set (thus usually 1458)
no real heat probs at all since months with that setting ... 1809 tended to get rather hot (e.g. on reboots) ... not so with 1674 (and a not too high voltage as set in std)
oh, and limiting the "OC" to 1512 isn't really an OC limit ... as that was std for the MSM8960 on almost all devices! (just fireball got an artificial limit of 1242 to further improve on batt runtime). so from that point of view, only everything _above_ 1458/1512 should be considered OC.
just my 2c
PS: apart from that, thanks for working on fireball AT ALL ... there aren't many devs left here unfortunately
on a note: please also enable 192MHz as the lowest CPU freq while you are at it ... never heard any complaints about it for our custom-kernels ... _and_ it greatly improves on total runtime, if 192MHz as lowest for CPU is set ... instead of the regular 384MHz only
cheers,
kimba99
Kernel is pretty smooth and getting great battery life, thank you indeed! I'd agree with adding 192Mhz as well.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND REQUIRMENTS
REQUIRMENTS
Please be sure to flash your ROM once again if you are using anything older than R5, sadly previous series inject modules and settings which won't be compatible with R5.
To be sure you won't experience any problems I suggest you to use KRAKEN R5 over fresh installed ROM without flashing other "competitor" Kernels or older KRAKENs
INSTRUCTIONS
make sure you have TWRP installed
download the provided zip and put it into the storage
enter your recovery
flash the precedent downloaded zip file
reboot and enjoy your experience with KRAKEN

that is the problem, sadly samsung released source for an older firmware! This means CPH3 is not supported, it's weird that the modem.bin is not fixing it :0... other friend flashed he has CPH3 and he fixed his wifi
Ported it to this, and it's stable links tomorrow and also the thread will get updated with better look and stuff!:fingers-crossed:
@Bulgar, it feels really good to have more devs and cookers around these threads.
Just in case, could you in any way add support for A300FU, they're virtually similar except the display size, and they added the MM sources for it as well.

sure provide me ur stock boot.img and i will see what i can do , stable oc settings for cpu are 2.00GHz and 720MHz for GPU since both the phones mount msm8916 i hope it will support it if no i will add lower clocks !
Finally a custom kernel for A5, good work!
I tested this kernel on my A500M and works, but WiFi is broken.

Is this kernel compatible with Sultans CM13? I tried to flash it, but it was stuck on CM boot animation for 30+ minutes and I gave up, because my battery would die.

No stock, as in ''for custom/AOSP only'' ? Would be great
Cheers and TIA
Great and thanks for kernel.
Im flashing it with twrp and not boot on rom(im with aosp of adrianom)it reboot only in twrp
Thanx beroid for your valuable efforts buddy!
and...Would this kernel be suitable for gaming in AOSP N, Coz TBH, AOSP and LinageOS Nougat both sucks when it comes to gaming!
The best was stock lollipop+Fishears kernel!
Flashed the kernel on latest Nougat AOSP build BUT ONLY REBOOTS IN RECOVERY!!!
In short, this kernel doesn't work with any ROM. No stock, no AOSP, no Lineage.... What is the purpose then ?
I'm on LineageOS 14.1, 20170623 nightly. kernel is working fine. device feels smoother and faster. have not tried gaming since I don't play anything on this tablet
Does it work on CRDROID?

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Update - v1.02
added IOSched switcher
patches for several CVEs
fixed installation for LOS-based ROMs
just flashed on latest lineageos and suddenly my v500 is rebooting its ass off.
with this kernel, my tab needs a few minutes to somehow stabilize. like when I boot it up and use it immediately, it reboots. it has overheating issues which makes it reboot while gaming, ex. vainglory on low settings. this got worse in 1.02. I even have mako hotplug enabled and cpu temp limit enabled
Doesn't work on AOSP, only reboots in recovery....
Thanks man !!
Awesome work upstreaming the kernel and adding all those excellent features ... Worked flawlessly here on mokee N ... Would be great if you add zzmoove as governor ! Thanks man !
Update - v1.03
Updated toolchain
Patches for several CVEs

For rooting method I suggest using Magisk, and for kernel editor Kernel Adiutor(can see cpuquiet, don't know for other tools).
Note: For everyone who has reboot problems, adjust voltage by +10mV or more.
This is not tested version, I don't own xperia z3 compact so I can't test, please give me feedback if it works, what works, and what not.
