LONG TERM SUPPORT :-
This kernel will be supported for a long time with updates directly streamed from CM kernel sources i . e . as long as CM keeps publishing updates to Motrola's Kernel, this kernel will also be updated.
Further, I will also be personally adding features to this kernel along with tweaks and optimizations as and when needed.
DOWNLOADS :-(do not mirror my links)[ Latest Version ][ Older Versions ]
TEST BUILDS with OC & UV :-These builds contain the following extra features ( when compared to normal /stable builds ) :-
CPU OC to 1593.6 MHz
CPU UC to 96 MHz
CPU UV hardcoded and can't be changed
Associated RamDisk changes
Since OC will not work without associated ramdisk changes, hence test builds are available as boot images rather than anykernel zips.
Now there had been reports of bootloop with blisspop & rr roms and certain other roms. I looked into this and found out that even though they are based on cm kernel, their ramdisk sizes are different, hence bootloop on using boot.img but no bootloop on using anykernel zip ( since, anykernel works irrespective of ramdisk size).
Now it is highly unfeasible to build a boot.img for every different rom and upload them separately. Hence, I have decided NOT to include OC/UC in the stable builds.
Hence these images will only work on aosp and cm13 roms.[/I] Any rom having ramdisk size different than that of official cm13 or official slim(aosp), will not be supported. Hence no support for OC in rr/bliss.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS :-
Reboot into recovery.
Make a nandroid BackUp.
Select Install zip from SD Card.
Select the Downloaded zip (different builds are present as an option in AROMA).
Then Reboot to System.
RECOMMENDED APPS FOR KERNEL TWEAKING :-
Kernel Adiutor
Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Pro
I do not support any other apps.

There are certain commits which improves and stabilizes cellular connectivity.
It works very well!
The overclocking is overvolting the CPU? Or it just changes the frequencies?

You shouldn't face any issues with camera, which ROM are you on ??
For TCP try Westwood.
Hello,
Will be possible to make it for CM12, if I install, the camera stops to work, the rest work perfectly.

This kernel is strictly for marshmallow based roms only.
However if you want to use it on lollipop based roms try an older version.
You can download it HERE.

Will give that a go. From what I could see yesterday this version worked fine with Lollypop apart from the camera.
Edit
Seems that kernel won't run the processor any faster than 787.
Is there any chance of updating to include over clock or modding current version to work with Lollypop camera?

Open Sourcing Mediatek - ZTE v970 ; SoC MT6577
Being owner of an Mediatek device, means (most of the times) not having the sourcecode published by the Official vendor.
ZTE never published full ICS sources (they only gave us incompleted, and unbuildable sources).
Furthermore, we never had JB 3.4.x Kernel sources.
Well this is xda after all, meaning we can accomplish pretty much everything
This is an fully Custom Kernel Source.
### For JellyBean 4.1 / JellyBean 4.2 Roms ONLY ###
--> For the new KitKat Build The Kernel is already included on the Rom, and Kernel Updates will be on that thread
Hello Guys !
In this thread you will find my custom Kernel for the ZTE v970 / v970m / Smart a18 (Portuguese Single-SIM version)

GPL Compliance:
Kernel 3.4.11
GitHub Repo
I do respect the GPL, but using someone else's work without proper credits is just LACK OF RESPECT.
The inclusion of this kernel in your ROMS is NOT allowed.
Instead add a link to my kernel thread as a recommendation on your thread.
I Don't support KANGS!
So please Show some respect, when using my commits, as well as the commits i added from other Dev's (with proper credits/ git authorization)
Fail to comply and i will drop this project

How to Flash
On recovery: (No need to wipe anything)
Just Flash the desired Kernel version.
It wont afect the rom, or your userdata.
But Just in case, make an full backup before flash
Download
Kernel Download is now available in the XDA: DEVDB "Download" Section.
F.A.Q. :
How can I change I/O Schedulers and Governors?
You can use the No-frills CPU Control APP from the PlayStore to switch bettwen then.
What's the Best Governor / I/O Scheduler?
Depends on your needs (Performance; Powersaving; etc)
An good resource, check this This Thread or Just Google it ...
How to Overclock my Device?
Download the attached app (THANKS bindassdost):
1: Add BBoost Game Mode widget to homescreen
2: The app widget behaves as toggle button to switch between stock and overclock (Overclock don't survive reboot)
Don't open the BBoostManager app, what you will be using its his WIDGET.

Thank you! so much!!
Flashing and testing!
Thanks for the work! What possibilities does the new kernel?

Hi there
Thanks for the feedback, please refer (and the others, when replying) what JB version are you using?
The JB 4.1.1 or JB 4.2.2.
Im using the 4.2.2, and yes it doesn't display that its charging sometimes, but he IS charging.
If you powered off your device you'll see that it is charging.
Also you should see the RED Led, that indicates that's charging
Also sometimes the battery percentage may display wrong values.
Regards, and thanks for testing

I may add governors and IO schedulers in the future.
But first lets fix these last issues.
Thanks
Beta 2 is Uploaded
EDIT: I've repack the kernel, for JB 4.1.1 users also
Just choose the correct version
Make an full backup on Recovery
Flash The kernel
Reboot
Please test it, and later you can revert back your stock kernel/data by restoring CWM Backup
If your battery Percentage (%) is frozen, reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik again.
Regards
Fixed problems with loading and show battery percentage. I will continue testing stability and others. Good job. Thank you.

I've ordeder my phone from HK (so it's most probably the "international" version) and the values are the same.
Also please check my old repo against adding governors - it's very easy but important, current governor (mtk's hybrid) uses too much battery. If you want, I can create a push request

Then i can start with the addicional goodies, after that AND if all goes well, i can start working on an second kernel variant to fix the camera on 4.2 roms.
The priority was to have an kernel (and working sources) for this device
And of course, you are always welcome to help/test.
Thanks

Maybe if I figure out why it isn't working, I mean GPU OC code is implemented in the kernel, but it's not working for some reason,
will see what I can do.

I'm not sure about that ether, but the weird thing is that even though the same code (as the one used for Z1) is included here,
you can't even switch GPU to more that 450MHz, I mean the GPU script has all 487.5MHz / 533MHz / 600MHz OCs but they aren't showing up
Tried it with pimp my z1
Didn't work. Specifically it crashes when any setting is changed from stock.
I'm on slimkat.
Running it on the latest CM11 nightly (31/5) and the phone momentarily freezes very shortly after boot before rebooting. Can't say what triggers it because it happens regardless of what I do.
Great work mate. The most important for me is the support for undervolting. Is it included in the kernel?

Yes it is, but you might find it buggy (for now)
@omarainea I have tested (not so much but anyway...) with carbon and resurection roms. RR install was cleaner I hadn´t utilized kernel settings beforkrnel install. Kernel works good, no reboots have changed a lot of settings without problems, on carbon phone reboots all the time but I had changed a lot of settings before kernel install. Later I will try more clean carbon installation with pimpkernel, for now I´m going with RR rom. Great work, thanks!

just did a clean Carbon or RR install, then boot to system, then reboot to recovery and flash the kernel without any wipes, reboot.

By clean you mean doing a factory reset prior?
And would it matter if I wipe partition and dalvik after flashing the kernel?
Also have you tried it with ART? My crashes only happen when I was on Dalvik

By clean install I mean factory reset and format /system prior, and it didn't matter to me whether I wipe dalvik after flashing the kernel or not.
also, now that you're mentioning it, I haven't tried ART on Pimped kernel yet (just Dalvik).

That step is always included in ROM instructions so I'm quite sure I did that. At first I thought the reboots were being caused by undervolting but even when I just changed the read-ahead in I/o settings I still get random crashes.
Hello!
Does the work kernel in the kit SlimRom? If so. I would like to test it!

Nope kit SlimRom is Sony based not cm-based ROM, this kernel is for cm-based ROMs.
if you're looking for a custom kernel for kit SlimRom you can try DooMKernel, I'll release v19 soon, so wait for it and try it

Adapt, improve and evolve!
Info:
Guys I created this kernel to Moto G 2013 (Falcon/Peregrine) and Moto G 2014 (Titan/Thea) in other words MSM8226 Motorola SoC baseds to learn, adapt some "unstable and unsafe" things as well to give a new life to my device, the plan is to support all Android versions avaliable for our device, I plan to do a better kernel with time and help of the comunity. This kernel is a nightly I will do it when I have a freetime or LineageOS update their sources or I add new features, it aims to be a rich feature kernel and a "perfection balance" between battery life and performance, this can be a UNSTABLE kernel, my routine will be build,upload and test, so stay tuned! I am open to suggestions. This is a kernel that don't work out-of-the-box the objetive of this kernel is give power to the user.
This kernel DO NOT WORK WITH STOCK MOTOROLA/GOOGLE PLAY EDITION ROM or IDCRISIS or AOSPARADOX.

How to install
If you're on other kernel please at least DIRTY FLASH you ROM, thanks.
The kernel:
By recovery:
Using TWRP (Please use the latest one)
1. Put the zip at /sdcard > Reboot to recovery > Install > Chose the kernel zip > Confirm to flash > (optional) Wipe caches > Reboot.
or
By app:
2. Flash it using Flashify or similar app from Playstore.
The kernel scripts backup your current boot.img so if you want to restore just use Flashify or TWRP.
The Bootlogo:
Using TWRP (Please use the latest one)
1. Reboot to recovery > Install > Chose the bootlogo zip > Confirm to flash > Reboot and enjoy.
2. Flash it using Flashify or similar app from Playstore.
3. Extract the zip and on mfastboot (or just fastboot) enter this command: fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Recommendations/Tweaking
Gov Tuner a mod to tune govs based on profiles for better battery life, better performance, or a balance., I have added a lot of sound patchs but A.R.I.S.E. will blow your mind! so if you want a better sound on your Moto G I suggest you A.R.I.S.E the best one in my opinion or just Viper+Dolby. And the best of the best tweaks app LSpeed just download and select a profile from main screen and fell it! or tune it by yourself!
To tweak use Kernel Adiutor from Playstore (or XDA Link), the Kernel Adiutor-Mod (fork with more experimental features) at XDA or Synapse You will need this zip and download Synapse app from Playstore.
Info about tweaking kernel The best guide to it!

How to git and build
Setting up and building
Basics of GIT
- How to build my kernel:
Code:
export ARCH=arm
export SUBARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/arm-eabi-
make mrproper (cleans config files)
make clean (cleans already builded files)
make falcon_defconfig (or you device_defconfig)
make menuconfig (if you want to tweak the config)
make (I use this too -o2 -j4 CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y CONFIG_NO_ERROR_ON_MISMATCH=y)
How to cherry pick commits
Basically to cherry pick a commit you have to have it source and branch, this is a simple how to do it
First of all you need to set your upstream since it is a fork of CM/LOS or STOCK source:
Code:
git remote add upstream linkingithub.git
For example
Code:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8226.git
so if you want to cherry pick a commit from me
Code:
git remote add bryanbytez mysourcelink.git
and after that you need to have my source locally but stay calm this wont mess you source
Code:
git fetch -all
To merge upstream changes (From CM/LOS or Motorola)
Code:
git merge upstream/cm-13.0
This will merge upstream cm branch cm-13.0 in your source code.
Misc help:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2816715/branch-from-a-previous-commit-using-git (Unlike me you can just revert or create another branch based on the commit and not delete the whole source code )
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4410091/github-import-upstream-branch-into-fork (Import a upstream branch on your fork)

Thanks! Sure autosmp!
Just a headsup people based on commit of SLATE21&MOTOG i fixed the flicker issue of KK ROMs on Lollipop bootloaders.
I just need to repair WiFi (thanks to my script) and i will upload it soon.
So a bin thank you to @SLATE21&MOTOG.
Sorry double post. Slow net speed here.
lol great xD can you add dynamic fsync, zzmoove and Overclock/underclock.

I will look it, currently i trying to fix wifi in cm11 version and kexec and some more govs on cm13 and possible add DT2W since my power button is not that good.
New build on! for cm13 just a minor script optimization.
For cm11

Very good kernel :good:
I only miss DT2W feature..
Edit: @willizambrano01 i like your kernel, but i'm on latest CM14.1 nightly so i can't use data tethering with your kernel. Default CM kernel, tether working fine. Could you fix? Thanks

That wasn't Kernel problem. Tethering was broken in CM build itself. I think they have fixed in latest build.

Introduction
Oxygen Kernel is based on stock Samsung source code taken from Samsung Opensource Release Center with sole aim to provide better performance, stablity and battery backup than stock kernel. A kernel tells the hardware in your Android device how to behave, kind of like your mommy tells you how to behave. You can modify how fast your processor runs by over or under clocking it or optimize your system for battery life.
Oxygen Kernel is always up-to-date with latest patches from kernel.org
Known for maximum stability and smooth performance
All the Source Code is available on github
Kernel Info
LINUX: 3.18.138
SAFETYNET: Green
SELINUX: Permissive
TOOLCHAIN: Google's GCC 4.9
Compatible ROMS
All AOSP 8.1 and 9 ROMs
All OneUI Pie based ROMs
All Touchwiz 8.0 and 8.1 ROMs
Features
Here are the major features of the kernel (feel free to explore Github)
Up to date with the latest stable Linux version
Full -Ofast build with graphite optimisations
Removed a lot of useless debug and logging options
Disabled TIMA, KNOX, DM-VERITY,etc
Awesome battery life and smooth performance

And many more!
These features are only available through Oxygen Control App
Download Oxygen Control from Github Releases
Warning: If you come from some other custom kernel or have any issues, you should dirty flash your ROM before flashing Oxygen Kernel to avoid problems.
Reflash ROM -> Flash Oxygen Kernel --> Flash Magisk if you want to root
If you are upgrading between Oxygen Kernel versions, just flash the kernel zip. Also uninstall or clean data of any kernel control app you're using.
Going back to stock: You can backup your boot.img with TWRP before flashing Oxygen Kernel and restore the backup whenever you want to revert.
1] This kernel removes forced encryption, if you face "encryption process failed" error upon reboot then you need to format /data. This is generally needed if you are installing this kernel on stock tw rom.
2] In OneUI Pie ROMs you may get a warning at boot saying "There's an internal problem with your device". You can safely ignore this warning and causes no harm. It's due to some mismatching KNOX/mobicore stuff. I'll fix it soon.

This kernel messed up my lock screen when I secure it with pattern or pin or password it takes more than 5 secs to unlock I wonder if reverting back to stock kernel helps and if it does how to do it?
