Mono Kernel for HTC One M9 (Hima)
Let's start this off with the basic and regular warning and disclaimer :
Code:
#ifdef (IF_YOU_FLASH_THE_KERNEL)
* No one except you chooses to flash this kernel, this is your [B]own[/B] choice
* Do not flash this if you expect stability that equals to a stock kernel
* Neither me or XDA is responsible if the kernel destroys your device
* No cats harmed during the creation of this kernel
#endif
Mono Kernel is a kernel made with simplicity and customizations in mind, I never wanted a kernel with gazillions of "bloaty" features (governors, schedulers, etc) that gives me uneasiness since there's too many choices to be made.
Technical details :
If you want to know about the toolchain and stuff I used
- Compiled with Google GCC 4.9 (pre 21-07-2016 releases), and UberTC 4.9.4 (21-07-2016 release and newer)
- Built on a SlimROM source tree
- Little to no weird optimizations flags, I'll avoid adding -Ofast, -O3, Graphite or anything related to them
Features :
Some bits of features that you'll see
- Latest upstream kernel, currently on 3.10.102
- zzmoove (bLE edition) and elementalx governor
- FIOPS and SIOPLUS scheduler
- Configurable thermal control
- Toggleable CRC and Dynamic Fsync
- USB Fastcharge
- UKSM 0.1.2.3 (Ultra KSM, an improved KSM)
- KCAL v2 (post-processing control for display)
- state_notifier driver, replaces earlysuspend and powersuspend
- Franco's Sound Control
- zRAM support
- Mini-bits of somewhat-safe (but not necessarily stable) optimizations
- Lots of updates and upstream works from various sources (CAF, Google, and Linux)
- And probably more
Bugs :
- Possible bug: Stereo channels are reversed (left to right and right to left) (False report on my side)
- None, at least for now
Download :
Get it while fresh!
AndroidFileHost Folder
Installation :
Please read all of this before continuing
For .img format (Slim6 only) :
IMG is deprecated as of 12 July release, please use ZIP instead
- Download the .img and put it somewhere
- Reboot to recovery (I'll assume you're using TWRP here)
- Press 'Install' then press 'Install Image' (located on the bottom-right side)
- Locate the .img
- Make sure you select 'Boot', not 'System Image' or 'Recovery'
- Swipe and install, but don't reboot
- Reinstall any Systemless mods (Systemless Root, Xposed, etc) if you have one
- Reboot and wait for it to boot!
For .zip format :
- I mean... you probably know how
- Just flash the zip
Compatibility List :
Check if your ROM is compatible
- Tested on Slim6
- Working on CM
- Possibly working on RR

There's too many people that deserves to be here, if you're one of them (in case I somehow forgot to credit you here and on the source code / Git repo page), please, don't hesitate to PM me!
Notes :
- Mono Kernel will always remain on 'testing' phase, mostly because I tend to screw up and break stuff, so I don't warrant any stable release, unless otherwise mentioned
- This kernel is working on CM (and possibly other ROM based on it)
- Nope, I have never tested this on any other variant of the M9 apart from the International variant
- Yes, no hotplug support for now, I'm still experimenting with hotplugs on this device

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q : I want "x" and "y" feature to be added in this kernel
A : Sure thing, I'll give no promises it'll be added, but if I find it interesting (and usable), why not?
Q : Hey, can you fix "x" issue ? (if you provides no log or details whatsoever)
A : Please, give me more details, how can I reproduce the issue on my side ? If I'm unable to reproduce the issue then can you please provide more details to the issue ?
Q : What logs are needed to give you an exact information of my issue ?
A : /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops, dmesg, and any kind of kernel logs (not logcat) you can find
Q : Will this work on "x" ROM based on AOSP / CM ?
A : Probably, it might or might not work, test it out by yourself
Q : Will this work on stock or any Sense based ROM ?
A : Nope and probably never will, but I'll reconsider that if there's enough request

One question-do you have the FM module and IR module in the kernel enabled? If you do, I;m willing to test on CM-I've been waiting for that.

FM and IR module ? I'm pretty sure I didn't use both, so, the answer is probably no, let me double check just to be sure
EDIT : IR works fine using "SURE" Universal Remote app, I'll check if FM works
EDIT2 : Double checked whether IR works or not, it works with both my TV and air conditioning unit, so it's definitely working
EDIT3 : I don't think FM is working, I've tested with the CM FM Radio app, and it can't open /dev/radio0 (the device for FM radio), I'll see if I can find a way to fix it
AWESOME!
I'll be testing this ASAP! Thanks for this kernel!!! I assume it's MM Compatible? I'm using cm13 and will post any results I have after testing it out for a bit. So glad for this :good:

Yes, it's actually only compatible with MM (unless the changes from L to M isn't that huge, I might be able to bridge a compatibility between both).
Have you experienced better battery with the kernel compared to stock? I remember when I was using the cm kernel and got really bad SOT thanks to the frequencies jumping all around all the time..

Hmmh, I can say the battery usage is pretty on par with stock (I get an average of 4.5 hours of SoT, on stock it's roughly 5 hours)

Thanks for the report, I have been working on the AnyKernel version that should fix this, for now, everyone should avoid using this in any CM based ROM since the result might be the same

Let's all be patient now and let the dev do his magic.
Eagerly, but patiently awaiting.
Thanks for all the reports on CM13 !
I can't test it out on CM myself because I really need the phone to be on a somewhat stable condition, but I'll be fixing it soon !
Hello everyone !
A new update is up now, it should fix CM compatibilities. It's also in AnyKernel zip format (no more tedious .img flashing).
For complete changes, you can check the source link (I'm not going to write all of them here), but it's mostly just changes I merged from CodeAurora / CAF and Google, there's also some more optimizations in code.
The download link is here or in the link in OP
Happy testing !

Boots just fine. Gonna use it a bit and evaluate. Any recommendations for kernel control?

Until I add Synapse support, I recommend this modded Kernel Adiutor, the regular Kernel Adiutor works fine but it doesn't have all the control necessary for the kernel
Glad to see some movement on dev-kernel section!! I have been using Smoocha kernel for a while and return to stop again since the support is abandoned.. I could help and test this kernel on CM13 (since is now compatible), I am a cherry-picked addicted.
It could be great seeing working with Uber 5.x-6 toolchain, this is the only thing that I really envy of Nexus 6p.
Many thanks for your support and contribution :good:

Welcome to the first custom CM12 kernel for the Z3 Compact
Kernel12
We're going on an adventure!
AMAZING FEATURES:
They happen to change so often that you're better off checking the changelog, but if you're stubborn, here's the core ones:
Additional CPU and GPU steps
Faux123's Intelli_plug and Intelli_thermal
adreno_idler
Memory fixes up the arse
Countless battery life and overall performance optimizations
A reason for Myself5 to, as he says, compete
Custom installer that combines both the permissive and enforcing image in one tiny zip
Obviously there's more so go ahead and check my Github!
DOWNLOADS:
http://j.mp/kernel12-1
Generously hosted by Androidfilehost.com
Note that the newest old (stable or not) builds (CM 12.0) are still available on the original site for now: http://bit.ly/kernel12
HOW-TO:
* Use TWRP
* Flash zip
* Read what the zip tells you
SERIOUS DISCLAIMER!
Code:
I guarantee nothing except for squids taking over our planet by the year 3027. #squidmasterrace
I'd also like to point out that the kernel developers for this device are different people with different lives, schedules and priorities, which shows in many differences in their work. We are not enemies or competitors but rather friends and colleagues, but we each support what we do as we are able to and as we deem is best.

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: r_12
Stable Release Date: 2017-10-30
Created 2015-02-22
Last Updated 2017-10-30
A quick FAQ that you'd better read before posting.
1. What was up with the nonsense naming scheme before 12.1?
A: Back then I believed people would actually test the unstable builds I pushed out very often, but I found out only a minority did so. With 12.1, I've decided to turn a new leaf and try to merge the two -- the builds won't be as extensively tested as the stable ones were before, but they will be released faster.
For now, all you need to know is that rperm means permissive and renf means enforcing builds.
2. How do I flash this?
A: Flash through recovery and read what the recovery tells you.
3. My bootloader is locked, HALP! OR I'm on stock/AOSP/CM7.
A: Then you don't get to install this kernel. Pretty simple but still, tough luck.
4.. What app do you recommend for dealing with CPU settings?
A: TricksterMod and Kernel Auditor work for me. Go around the internet, try different apps and see what works for you, then keep it.
5. Touch Control doesn't work in rXXX release, you suckas, fix plixe! OR My phone exploded, HALP!
A: Go away. I do not respond to bug reports without a proper description and log.
6. I have a bug to report!
A: Great! Unlike the guy in #5, you may submit the error either to DevDB or in the thread (just tag me if you're posting into the thread). Make sure your description of the error is detailed, and that you have a log (located in /proc/last_kmsg). It'd be best to upload the log via pastie.org If possible, please also list the way in which the error was triggered.
7. I want to support you and your work!
A: Awesome! Click thanks and/or share the thread with other guinea pigs who would like to participate!
8. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police? OR Why are you such a derp and asshole
A: Indeed I am. Deal with it.
9. Where may I find the discussion thread?
A: This thread serves as both the development and discussion thread. Please to not litter (GTFO with "thanks" and "+1" posts), and try to keep to the topic. That said, if you're reporting a bug or requesting a new feature, you may use either DevDB or the thread, but please tag me should you opt for the latter. Just remember, reviews go in the "Reviews" tab!

Sorry for having 3 OPs, but I'd rather have more than 1 long one.
First off, thank you so much! There's been a massive lack of kernels for our device. Now for my real question, is there any chance you could make a Selinux Permissive variant so we can get xposed working? I'm only asking because you seem to be the only one with a CM12 kernel out :good:
EDIT: Never saw the tabs for feature requests in a thread before, so this should probably go there, my mistake.

Hello yes I would like to science please.
I'll see what I can do, the layout of a boot image has changed drastically since 2012. xD
EDIT: @C2fifield: No biggie, I don't mind feature requests in the thread. To be honest I don't mind anything as long as it's about this kernel/thread.
EDIT2: I've spent two hours trying to set SELinux to Permissive. What I managed to create were a handful of ramdisks that were supposed to change it to permissive (but didn't) and a zImage that completely disables SELinux.
If anyone knows what in the world I have to do for permissive, please let me know. So far everything I've found on the internet about this is how to type "setenforce 0" in a su shell.
EDIT3: I am an idiot. Continue with your lives, the Permissive image will be up in a few minutes.

It's alright, I already figured it out. What C2 wanted, if I understood correctly, was for init and onwards to be permissive. If I read that correctly, your proposal only turns SELinux into permissive on Android boot.
I don't know if this makes sense and it may or not be wrong.
EDIT: Also tried your suggested way, didn't work for me.

Try this. Create su.d folder in /system/ and create a text file that permissive.sh and insert code in permissive.sh and give permissions 755 to both folder and file.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
setenforce 0
He wanted to get xposed working. This way makes system permissive on boot and lets xposed framework working properly. This way works for him.
And also thanks for your kernel. Do you consider adding more features to your kernel such as OC,KSM,etc. ??

That sounds more like it! Still though, I've found it's only one line when putting the boot.img together:
Code:
androidboot.selinux=permissive
Ofc I intend to add more, you didn't think I'd open a thread for just two cherry picks? xD
Looking into a lot of things, my GitHub isn't even half of what I decide to push. KSM is literally just one push of a button in the config, and I just need to cherry-pick others and get them to work (the latter is really where most of the work is at, there's a lot of trial and error).
@someone755 thanks for your kernel!
As the script method with permissive.sh causes some serious issues with dialer and settings (FC) on my device (CM12 02/22) and this is only a not so clean workaround it would be very nice of you if you could consider a permissive variant of your kernel. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried version ZX1? It works for me but YMMV (which is also why I'm still labeling everything as beta).

Thanks so much! I've been hoping for a permissive LP kernel for our device!
@someone755
Oh, I agree that was a fool question
Ok now, I'm waiting your next works. I hope you to add new features and create a good kernel for our device.
Maybe this is a stupid question but what kernel is this based on? The unified kernel? Or is it built from scratch?
@someone755 thx for your work. How about kexec? I know there is no multi rom for z3c yet but maybe it will come soon.

What do you mean, from scratch? o.o
It's based off the CM msm8974 repo's cm-12.0 branch. The branch unifies all Sony msm8974 devices' CM12 kernels, so I guess it's kinda unified.

That answers my question perfecly. The 1:st post does not say wich kernel its based on so i just wanted to make sure
Edit: By "from scratch" i ment if you built it on your own based on nothing. It could be the case sinse you dont state wich/what kernel you based your kernel on.

But ... you have the sources right there... Says "forked from Cyanogenmod/android_kernel_sony_msm8974".
There really is only one source I could build something that boots into a CyanogenMod ROM, and it's from CyanogenMod sources.
I still don't understand what you mean by "from scratch" -- starting from either the base Linux kernel or the stock Sony ones is madness.

Sorry to confuse you. Maybe i did not read the post as i should have... My bad.
My thaught was like you say: madness to build from linux kernel or stock sony but i had to ask to be sure what this was since i did not read the post well enough as it seems
Gonna try this kernel ASAP. Thank you and keep up the work!
This kernel aims to be an alternative (and experimental) to Stock or custom ROMs (CM, Bliss,...) default ones, applying tweaks (kernel source configuration) and patches (if them apply) to improve general responsive, performance and functionality.

Install F2FS injector ZIP if you need proper F2FS support.
Notes
Don't forget flash DTB if necessary
If you need to update blobs, you can easily flash this zip (OTA 4.2), thx to @Steel01
Info about F2FS, and experimental TWRP to support it here.
I would be glad to get some feedback about battery life, performance, etc... All suggestions welcome :good:

Could be worth mentioning the .IMG file can also be flashed using Flashify without having to connect to computer at all.
pretty and nice
Running almost perfect in CM12
Waiting for OC I know you can do it,I use run the shaky156 OC 2.499 kernel for almost 1 months with no problems and I switched to CM12
Thanks and keep the nice work

The - latest wifi ROM- version you uploaded in the CM12 thread also includes your kernel as presented here?
Is it possible to include colour profiles in the kernel? Love it on my nexus 5! Looking forward to seeing this move forward
Also is there a rest of world lte version in the works? Thanks

Yes, I always compile CM 12.x with my kernel version. The 12.1 is totally experimental.

Take note for colour profiles but I don't know how complex it can be... I'll be studied, sure.
About LTE RoW (wx_un_do) vs LTE US (wx_na_do) they are totally compatible as @Steel01 and me have seen. I have LTE RoW model and actually use wx_na_do compilation. In the future, perhaps, we will create a specific branch.

I will be away a few days so a lot of sleep time for the tablet Will report
Here's some cpu state time info for u. 51mhz is deep sleep right?
With CPU Spy you get how long the device is in deep sleep: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011497
Cpu spy capture for u. I've been running it like I stole it all day.
I don't have installed CPU Spy but BBS reports that it sleeps like a baby.
Got a spare apk for bbs by chance?
Download Better Battery Stats XDA edition here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15869886&postcount=2
Just wanted to let u know the mic issue was a gapps thing, the minimal edition has problems, went back to pagapps (the final 03/15 one) and if I flash this kernel on steels cm12 it works perfect. No sound fc either. The ONLY issue I found is moving to SD. Still says no room even after the folder mount patch. Battery is great btw, thanks much for the work

Hi Huawei P9 people!
This is my modified kernel with some kernel optimizations and some compiler optimizations.
The goal of abyss-caf is to compromise stability and improved performance.
I will not be overhauling this project with changes that are not logical to add.
This kernel should work on all stock based roms; there is a separate version for NCS rom.
How does one achieve this?
- build kernel with an optimized toolchain
- use compiler optimization flags (experimental)
- remove redundant code
- improve existing code with more efficient code
- reduce/increase speed of timers (depends on what type of function)
- etc. (most are not easy to explain)
This kernel is built with Linaro GCC 4.9.4 that is optimized for ARM64 devices.
Is there actually a performance improvement?
With all the changes added up, there should be. Whether or not one notices the difference is another thing.
Personally, I do feel the performance difference. It is easier to notice the difference with lower level specs.
For those interested in how the kernel optimizations will benefit/work, please look at my github source and read the commit messages.
For those interested in how the compiler optimizations/hacks will benefit/work, please look at this article.

I do not mind if there's some non-development/off-topic discussion here, just no discussion about other works that is nowhere near related to mine.
Also, please refrain from comparing works here; it really kills the spirit of development. Go do that in some other thread.

New to phone development?
If you are new to these forums or development in general,
please consult other members before trying this out.
There is no shame in asking for help politely and respectfully,
as long as you don't quote the whole OP or think slower than a sloth.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this a custom kernel?
I was asked this question once, and it posed as a real good question. I do not consider abyss to be a "custom kernel" per se, but more so as a modified kernel. The patches and features that go into this kernel do not make it customizable. What they do is improve what has already been implemented. It is like swapping a car's engine for a better one rather than just adding LED flooring lights and fancy car mats.
Can you add [this] and [that] feature to abyss?
Something I pride myself with this kernel is that it does not have a bunch of random, useless features or patches mashed into it. Everything put into this kernel is thought out well and tested. I see a lot of works being made popular because it has [this] and [that] feature when really, it's nothing revolutionary. As a matter of fact, most things added to any kernel will not make it 5x better than any other kernel. Most of the time, simple is better; and in this case it definitely is!
Awesome, will stay tune about new releases, will try the kernel later.
Just for clarify, kernel works in any P9 or just for L09 or L19?

Not sure why it would, what tweaks do you have turned on? It should be good to go, I highly doubt anything can go wrong with any sort of non-kernel related tweaks.
this is great news! You have my thanks
For anyone on NCS rom, the kernel will not boot for you. Please test this build out. I will be looking into using an AnyKernel 2.0 flash method for TWRP users so that we don't run into conflicts like these in the future.

Not only my rom, its for all recommended if root is installed.
This is ****ing awesome kwoktopus, so excited to try your work (tomorrow). Finally some more new development for the great P9.

Not exactly sure. If fRomFuture has ramdisk modifications then probably not, I'll have to make a separate version for it. If you would like to try, download both versions of the kernel and try.

Hi.
I've tried the kernel clean on the NCS ROM 1.2.
Unfortunately, the camera failed to launch and I noticed jerkiness in response.
Preamble
Hey everyone!
Xiaomi JUST released their source on 17/5/17 for mm. THAT IS SO DAMN COOL, THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER. You guys can expect a custom kernel from me sooner or later(i'm busy). However, if the custom kernel really comes out from me, it won't be on this thread. This thread will maintain active development though, repacks of other custom kernels!
What is a repack? A repack is essentially, in layman terms, porting a kernel. I can run a kernel for AEX on RRN and stuff like that, but please do take note that my repacks are tweaked towards battery life, while keeping some speed. I might add bonus scripts in future, but for now, i'm just trying to get this up and running.
Please flash at your own discretion. I try my best to test at every release, but sometimes i just don't have the time to do so. I have homework and revision and all,and i need sufficient sleep for growth(i'm 13) so just bear with me. I am NOT responsible for anything that happens with your device

FAQ:
How to NOT break safetynet?
- Just flash the build after the flashing the rom. You can flash mods like magisk and systemless supersu that does not modify /system
Why did i lose my root after flashing(SuperSU)?
- Because supersu patches boot.img and adds a script to start the SU daemon. Flashing a new boot.img will cause the script and patches to be overridden. Just flash the supersu zip again and everything will be reapplied
What can i report?
- After testing a build for a specific rom, you can state the rom your device is on, how old your device is, then the thing you wanna report. You can report failed boots, function bugs and SOT(battery)

f im not wrong voltages are inside the kernel source, no way to change that if the kernel does not support it(its not by default)

Heh, even with the kernel source I still can't add QC into my Xperia. It's a good thing the Note 4 has more devs. Also, are you experienced in kernel building?
The Carbon Rom that popped up last night listed Mido kernel sources, which I'm highly sceptical if it works. I just need someone to confirm since the OP isn't responding.

from what i know, i suspect it's a partial source. That means that its not full, and there will be some limits
Pertaining to your first question, i can and will build kernels, but i will only do so in December, because my school projects require windows and linux would me more ideal compared to bash on win(always get that dpkg error)

Hi guys,
I know that this forum is not widely used by ZTE Axon 7 Mini owners, but I still want to share my work the kernel used by the stock firmware.
Most of the parts were of course already based on the work of others, so I will give credits at the end of this thread of course.
Pre-requisites:
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP flashed
Knowledge you do this all at your own risk! I tested this kernel with my EU model, so I don't know if this will work on the US models, too.
Features:
- Based on latest kernel source shared by ZTE (ZTE B2017G Nougat(7.1.1) Kernel(3.10.84))
- Built with GCC 4.9 toolchain
- UC to 499MHz for BIG and 403 MHz for LITTLE (thanks to @flar2)
- OC to 1651 for BIG (again @flar2)
- Additional governors: yankactive, blu-active, impulse
- Additional IO schedulers: Sioplus, Zen, FIOPS. Tweaked Row is set as default
- Additional TCP congestion algorithms with westwood being the default one
- Approx. 30% faster due to CRC calculation and auditing disabling
- Sweep2Sleep on the navigation bar
- frandom RNG
- Sound Control by @flar2
- ZRAM using LZ4 optimized for ARM by default
- Optimized power management driver by @Yank555
- Native exFAT support without needing fuse @dorimanx)
- KCAL
- Vibration control
- uses higher power CPUs to boot (got roughly 3s faster boot time)
- Dynamic Fsync
- Gentle Fair sleepers can be toggled via sysfs and Kernel Adiutor
- Smaller tweaks
To do:
- Switch toolchain
- Remove "dirty" from the kernel name Apparently I need to push all changes to github before compiling(or recompiling the same kernel as soon as I pushed everything)
- Set the phone to accept the lower frequencies without having to set this up in Kernel adiutor
- Alter interactive governor to use full frequency range
- Add D2TS for screen and fingerprint sensor, S2W
- Wakelock reductions
- Maybe BLX, KCAL (even though I don't get the point to implement it) I was curious and did it now, looks nice
- LED and vibration control
- Switch hotplugging mechanism to Lazyplug, hotplugging is not that energy efficient anymore
See the attached picture regarding the CPU stats when using yankactive for example

Unfortunately I didn't give proper credits on my github, I want everyone to know, that none of the features were designed and written by myself, just adapted to work on our phones!

I wouldn't exclude this, but as I am running on stock, I can't confirm or deny...
You could make a backup of your boot and flash it and see what happens, worst thing is that you need to reboot to recovery and restore your backup

Thank you for replay, what governor you use?
You will need to try and see.
It uses anykernel which is good. But aokp and lineage are on android 7.1.2 while stock is on android 7.1.1. There was at least one kernel api change that may cause problems. But I'm not sure.
I'm assuming this package has the wlan module also...?

You mean the prima wifi stuff I have seen in you github? Honestly I didn't feel the need...does it improve the wifi experience or is it just for making it compatible with LineageOS?
No, I mean the kernel module for wifi, /system/lib/modules/pronto/pronto_wlan.ko. If that doesn't match your kernel, it won't load and you won't have wifi.
Note stock has a handful of other kernel modules, but I don't think any of them are needed Most look like they are for testing.

Note stock has a handful of other kernel modules, but I don't think any of them are needed Most look like they are for testing.

Oh, ok...pronto driver is built into the kernel though, all other modules are really for debugging and testing as far as I could gather, so they are not included (and the phone works fine)
@Askael: As for a custom kernel for Lineage/AOKP etc: as I won't have these OS's on my phone I use as my daily driver, I can of course create one, but it is always published as untested, so there is no point IMHO.

But we can test this. But if you not want - don't worry! :good:

Will think about it
Version 1.2 is out, now with KCAL screen control support!
I'm building a kernel with many of these features for the LineageOS ROM. Want me to make a thread, and then you can link it for people interested in using it in your OP? Source is here: https://github.com/djkazic/sombrax_kernel

You mean a custom kernel for CM builds or an update for this stock kernel?
For the CM based one I didn't start, although applying the modifications I applied to my kernel should be working
