Linux Kernel 4.9 for Moto G5
As you guys already know, our Moto G5 has an ancient linux kernel (3.18.x) which is now EOL (end of life) from support from actual Linux Foundation. It's pretty much stuck there with no probable updates to it (can use the android 3.18 for updates, but I think that's pretty much soon to be deprecated).
I have been working on this kernel since the past one year and finally managed to boot it on our Cedric!
WARNING: THIS KERNEL IS STILL ALPHA AND MOST OF THE BUGS HAVE STILL NOT BEEN FIXED.
I just wanted to share this kernel with the community!
What works:
Boots
Display
Touch
Storage
Charger
Battery Indication
Bugs:
Pretty much every basic thing
RIL (Calls, mobile data, etc.)
Vibrations (Weird and too strong)
Camera
Flashlight
Only Oreo boots so far.

NOTE: The screenshots are from 2 different builds and hence the difference in kernel version.
Cheers!
Update:
I've been working to fix display and audio on for us.
You can check the progress in my kernel repository. I hope to fix it soon!
Nice! Simply nice. This will hopefully get more attention :good:
Update:
Indian variant finally boots now!!
Thanks to Neosight from Mido community for the fix!
It was because of the bootloader not accept the arm IOMMU of cedric (atleast in indian variant). Instead the kernel sent a full aarch64 (or arm64) iommu tz cb, which wasn't getting a secure pass from bootloader through qseecom interface, which apparently states that motorola still uses older (nougat) bootloader in XT1677 (or the Indian variant).

CAF had added support for msm8937 for 4.9 with Android Oreo, I just used their base and added moto g5 specific changes. It may sound easy, but it's not.

There's no specific documentation for this. It was all trial and error. Have you read the OP? I've clearly stated it took me 1 year to get it to work.
To start, you should know your way around linux kernel and for reference you can use my source and well there are many other devices that were 3.18 and now run 4.9

Been using this kernel for awhile, and though we have many good options out there (RZ, blu, and the countless custom kernels in the roms we flash daily), I find that π has the best handle on boosting the smaller cores. I also think the input / touch response time is noticeably smoother on this kernel.
TBH it's not the one I'm running right now, but I'll probably be back to π when the next release is posted.
Go to the telegram channel if you need immediate support. I've only tested on stable 9.0.1.
This is the best kernel for the op5

Hey this kernel has grown tremendously since I started testing it on TG. I used to think this was a "good", not "great", but I wasn't letting it settle. It seriously takes about a good 15 minutes for things to just feel right. If you gave up on this kernel before, try it again, you will not be disappointed in it's reliability.

OP San, it might be placebo but when I turn on enable_prediction to 1 in the country governor options, I seem to get better performance. This seems to only benefit the little cores, when I enabled it on the big cores I started to suffer a lot of stuttering.
Why is this setting netting me performance? Is it off by default for a major reason?
I think as long as I'm on oos, I can't leave π kernel for now. To my use, this is the best one I can find right now. Huge thanks to the Dev for bringing this kernel to 5T.
HTML5 KERNEL
"Low overhead, light and the way of the future" - sultanxda
(he wasn't referring to this but whatever)
This Kernel aims to be as simple as possible with only useful added features, you may request for features and we will consider them.
Features:
Compiled with GCC (cuz clang sucks)
Removed unnecessary bloat
Reduced power consumption
Improved zRAM and memory management
Upstreamed to the latest Linux 4.9 stable (based off ALS)
First kernel with touchscreen in TWRP fixed
Some cool patches
A lot of less cool patches
Magisk support
Westwood+ is now the default tcp algorithm
Brickported Backported patches from Sony, CAF and others
refer to the source for the rest I am lazy
TLDR:
It's better than stock and the best custom kernel out there (arguable)

Yet another stable update! (that I did not even test)
This build is the final release supporting Android 9.0 Pie, next versions are going to support Android Q exclusively.
Brief changelog:
Merged Q beta 4 tag (also supposedly fixes rare live photo crash)
Updated to Linux 4.9.181
Various scheduler and cpuidle updates
Further vmalloc enhancements
Other minor changes
does this work on the Q beta?
Agree, this is the best kennel
Still no luck in running this kernel on stock Android 10 (blueline-qp1a.191005.007-factory-c36610c6). Version HTML5_137 brings bootloop (fastboot tells "error boot prepare" message).
NEW MAJOR UPDATE: v210
Now, with Android 10 support! A lot of work has been done since the last update, ehehh... yes, we still exist
I suck at coming up with huge placebo changelogs, so just believe me at that statement
Follow the link and flash dis new build right away (if you still haven't lost your patience): Download

Just installed it, it is working so far.
But there is an odd message just after boot saying there's a problem with the phone (one of Jarlpenguin build's had the same issue for a moment).

Its not that high cost of better performance. Will take care of it when i have time
I noticed a better battery life and a possibility to dim screen on kernel settings, which is nice. Thanks for your working on it.

Thanx!
FYI the nontreble version sends my device in a bootloop on your lineage 16 build. The previous boot.img worked, so I assume that was build for treble.. (I was under the impression that development for treble had ceased)

The current lineage 16 builds are treble, everything else isn't (Gsi images installed on top of Lineage 16 also count as treble)
Post updated. Added new compatibile rom and GSI to list
I installed lineageos 16.0 (jarl version) with the treble kernel and everything is working perfectly, however an error message appears whenever you turn on or restart the device:
"There is an internal problem with your device. Please contact the manufacturer for more details."
Thanks

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12 (S), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Based on the Exynos7420 source code.
What's working:
Audio
Bluetooth
Telephony (Calls, SMS, Mobile Data)
WiFi/Hotspot
NFC
Camera
Fingerprint
HWC
GPS
What's not working:
VoLTE and other proprietary Samsung stuff
SELinux Permissive

FAQ:
I have echo in phone calls!
Echoing in calls has been a problem for Samsung devices for a long time. Not aware of a fix, but using some old mixer_paths tweaks, the problem can be mitigated somewhat
My banking/other apps arent working!
You need Magisk modules to pass safetynet. Some apps dont like to work if safetynet fails.
My camera wont flash properly when taking a picture
The native AOSP camera app does not properly sync the flash on a lot of Samsung devices. However, you can use third party camera applications, which do not exhibit this behaviour. GCam Go has been reported to work fine.
I have a problem not on this list!
Describe your problem in detail and steps to reproduce it. Take a logcat, kmesg, dmsg using syslog or other method and post here, or preferably an issue on GitHub. If you were able to fix the problem, please post how you were able to resolve it.
Changelog
Spoiler: Click for Changelog
07.05.2023
Synced with LineageOS sources (May '23 security patch)
Swapped to linaro BSP for some HWC components
Provides updated code for our device (better UI/performance)
Update precompiled OMX blobs (linaro ones dont work currently), modified to work in vendor/

LPM kanged from 8890q
Misc changes to props
12.04.2023
You must perform a clean flash. Backup your data using your preferred method, or else you wont be able to unlock your device.Synced with LineageOS source (April 2023 security)
Reworked the HWC implementation - noticeable improvement to smoothness
All 7 layers are now working
More HWC components built from BSP source + extra flags
Using A810F Gatekeeper blobs - MDFPP implementation from software
Less random errors in logcat
Build fingerprints overridden to latest stock nougat ones
L3 widevine DRM support, some DRM content should work now
Zswap no longer built in the kernel. We don't need it.
In kernel low memory killer is no longer built
Fixed FIPS compilation
Default voltage offset of -37.5mV on the CPU
Upped sustained clock speeds hint in powerhints.json
22.02.2023
Synced with LineageOS sources (March 2023 security updates)
Fixed regression where bluetooth audio crackles when screen is off (core hotplugging is disabled for now)
Fixed VP9 video decoding in apps. We now have more quality options on YouTube. Our hardware can't do 4K60, so only 4K30
ZRAM settings kanged from exynos 7580 (75% of RAM is ZRAM now). This should be better for general usability
Thanks to enesuzun2002 releasing the BSP, we can now build HWC components from source. Shouldn't change too much for now, but its nice
25.02.2023
GPS works now
Fixed regression where mobile data wouldn't work (need different patches for netd/bpf for some reason)
HRM/SPO2 works semi-properly now due to a missing SPO2 permission (taken from universal5433).
ZRAM reduced to 800mb for now
15.02.2023
Synced with LineageOS sources (Feb 2023 security update)
Back on Nougat kernel for now
So edge models should be able to disable hw buttons without issue
Added FB notifier for touchscreen and touchkey - touchkeys no longer vibrate when screen is off
Added CPU/GPU voltage control. Use hkTweaks to undervolt. (at your own risk)
Added BFQ i/o scheduler
Added Dynamic F-Sync (from anans cronos kernel)
Wireguard VPN support
Battery store_mode support
Hwbinder for sensors, memtrack, renderscript, GNSS
uprev BT audio hal to 2.1
Fixed headphone jack being too loud
AdvancedDisplay added
Logs no longer spammed with errors about CPUs being online. Moved to a less jank way of disabling cores on power saver. You can control amount of cores online by editing the value in /sys/power/cpucore_max_num_limit (8 = all cores online, 4 = all big cores disabled etc)
Misc changes:
Source code moved to samsungexynos7420. Please build from there.
7420_patches cleaned up, a lot werent needed.
Using protobuf 2.6 now instead of 2.4 - precompiled and included in vendor

Core hotplugging disabled, causes issue with BT audio when screen is off
Swapped to LE video codecs for now
New power saver mode - 4 small cores, 2 big cores, tweaked frequencies (jank implementation lol)
OpenCL fixed
Fixed GPS rollover bug
08.10.2022
Fixed S6 Edge not booting (weird kernel glitch)
Modified powerhints.json
07.10.2022
Synced with LineageOS sources
Swapped to EQ1 kernel based on S6 Nougat firmware. However due to last minute issues, only necessary features were added.

yes. but for now while its a bit buggy, focusing on 1 device
Good news, I just have a bootloop on my S6 so I did a factory reset so there's nothing on my phone right now (Nothing to worry because I backed up all my data into laptop already). Might try it in tommorow. This phone is my main phone currently so I'll test on it
mine is G920F so hoping that everything is fine

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12 (S), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
After a long wait, here is Android 12L for the Samsung Galaxy S6! Though it is a beta with some issues, I figure I release it.
Based on the Exynos7420 source code.
What's working:
Bluetooth
Telephony (Calls, SMS, Mobile Data)
WiFi/Hotspot
NFC
GPS
Camera
HWC
What's not working:
VoLTE and other proprietary Samsung stuff
Fingerprint
You tell me

Will the Edge models be supported? (G925)
Yes, but for the moment just flat models whilst everything gets sorted.
I have echo in phone calls!
Echoing in calls has been a problem for Samsung devices for a long time. Not aware of a fix as of yet.
I have a problem!
Post relevant problem and debugging information (ie logcat, last_kmesg etc) here or on github
If you want to see the project improve , help by contributing code!

dont hold me to this, but (hopefully) i plan to have all s6 variants with an A12L release by the end of the week, including W8 variants.
I still can't get the fingerprint sensor working properly. I don't want to keep the releases back if that doesn't work though, as everything else appears to work fine.
After I release the new builds, i'll try get SELinux to enforcing, DT2W and the new pixel power HAL working. We'll see how that goes lol
