In plain language
DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T !!
UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!
REQUIREMENTS:
Supported variant only !!
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (beta support)
Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)
INSTALLATION & UPDATE:
If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!
Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED
Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)
DO NOTHING but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)
After flash == DO NOTHING but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!
CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS:
If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.
Boot into TWRP.
Insert USB-OTG
** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)
Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....
Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).
Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.
Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS. System is not supported by kernel).
Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.
If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.
Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.
Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).
Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".
Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).
Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.
Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.
Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.
You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).
Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.
Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?
ISSUES ?
If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.
If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!
Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.
CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS:
The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!
OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION:
After boot:
Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Open Synapse
Tap "Understood"
So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make any change & 'apply'.
Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse
DOWNLOADS:
** I will NEVER support KOREAN (S/K/L) variant. Get over it and flash ARTER kernel instead !! **
Mod Edit: Link removed.
BUGS:
Aroma Installer: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

FAQ & HELP
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue".
Please provide as much information as possible.
Without resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless.
So please follow the guidelines set out below. Users can't "read minds".
Without providing important information, we are unable to help YOU.
Search thread, XDA and Google before posting
Provide as much information as possible.
- Device model
- Firmware version
- ROM name / version
- Kernel version
- Modem version
- Bootloader version
- Synapse settings (try default)
- Installed tweaks and apps etc (Xposed ?)
- The exact steps you've taken to try resolve the issue yourself.
Exact steps to reproduce the issue. Provide screenshots if able.
Does it work with older / other versions etc
Reset your device to a stable baseline (ie. stock) with only custom TWRP recovery and kernel (FULL WIPE: system, cache, dalvik-ART)
Possible logs
FAQ & HELP:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
Additionally, I do not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
NO == My ramdisk modifications are COPYRIGHT (refer LICENSE in Post #2), and distribution without MY (UpInTheAir) prior written consent is not only in a breach of that license, but also XDA Rule #12)
Although I do appreciate your contribution, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
ALWAYS on DISPLAY (AoD)
I have spent some time to attempt port S7 display drivers to our kernel, but haven't had success as yet with too many errors.
TBH, it's a lot of work for something I'm not really interested in or would use. . . so I don't wish to spend any more of my own time on it, sorry. If someone else does it, GREAT
DO I "NEED" SYNAPSE
THERE IS NO "NEED" !!
It is "recommended", which is OPTIONAL, and not "needed".
It is for ADVANCED or adventurous users who wish more control of their device or use various features I've added.
Using any other optional tweaking or control app may conflict & many features and options won't be available.
WHY WAIT 120 SECS
The kernel and Synapse scripts need time to boot up properly and allow SU permission.
There are scripts / code that have a deliberate delay and must run after Synapse. These are not user optional.
Synapse has a stability check on boot. You may get "synapse boot cancelled".
Thermal throttling will be trying to limit many things, let the device settle
OTHER PARTY CAN NOT HEAR VOICE ON SPEAKER PHONE
It could be a conflict in the system/etc/mixer_*.xml. I don't know for sure, but if I exclude the sound mod, then this "fixes" the problem.
As I cannot reproduce the issue (and the majority), then the audio mod stays.
Unfortunately, making it optional would require to build kernels without and create much more work for many device I don't actually use.
Either live with it, or use another kernel. Sorry.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP / RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version
Refer to THIS post for "how-to" screen-shots
Refer to THIS post for a "how-to" video
LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
lsmod

CPU POWER CONSUMPTION

F2FS SUPPORT
It's not needed. You wouldn't see any difference or measure much, if anything. Not worth the potential trade-off. This is not eMMC anymore
Storage Benchmarks
STUCK ON SAMSUNG BOOT LOGO AFTER FLASH
Ensure you flashed the correct kernel for your device model
Ensure your download is not corrupted. Check MD5 hash or re-download
Your current base firmware (ROM, boot-loader version etc.) may be incompatible - UPDATE to latest with Odin and try again.

BATTERY TIPS (require updating !! )
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Default (values are battery orientated)
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
PERFORMANCE TIPS (requires updating !! )
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Set HMP threshold profiles = Stock or Performance
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed
Follow the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
THIS is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos4
DOWNLOAD LINK NOT WORKING
I want to keep this project all in one place - ☆☆ NO MIRRORS ☆☆
Please try again in a few minutes
POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Disable any CPU MULTICORE options in Synapse
Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC == excessive heat == thermal throttling == reduced clock frequency == DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
by Christopher83
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature, set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's PATCH
TCP/IP NETWORK SECURITY
Thanks to zeppelinrox & V6SuperCharger
Hardening the TCP/IP stack to SYN attack

CHROMECAST - STREAMING PROBLEMS
Lock screen MUST be enabled (simple screen lock swipe) I don't know why but it breaks the chromecast app's ability to resume smoothly if switched off
Synapse > Network > DTIM (both screen ON & OFF) = 1
Synapse > Network > WIFI Power Mode (screen OFF) = FAST
@UpInTheAir needed to create these threads to compile them for Synapse. He contacted me to close these as soon as he made them until he is ready with the finished product. Have patience.
Also I would like to apologize to UITA as the last ban may have been due to a system glitch where the signature was restored upon return, so was unjust. I have seen these glitches before and better communication might have prevented the error. We will do better going forward!
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
Hi fellow members.
Please find my latest release for SkyHigh kernel. There are many many changes, both visually (more / improved features) and a upgraded engine (better performance & efficiency) since I last publicly released. Far too many to talk about. . . .
And no - it DOES NOT fix call audio issue with leaked UX ROM. I believe it to be a ROM issue n!
Please note that although I have taken as much care in building and testing by my friends and I, the kernel may still not perform as hoped for you. Could be due to various factors including (but limited to):
hardware quality
firmware installed (incompatibility)
user habit (how you use the device)
apps & mods installed, customization's (conflicts)
user kernel settings (read them carefully - if in doubt == defaults)
As noted in Post #3, I may not have your device variant and not be always able to help either. In the end, sometimes SkyHigh is just not meant for you . . . .
If you have issues = = READ & FOLLOW ALL Posts #1-3
READ & FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTALLATIONS EXACTLY (or else device will not boot)
Also please note (as per OP) the support for UX based ROMS is still in beta. I have personally tested very briefly, and also some of my friends (not all variant)
Enjoy
UITA

I see your posts in various development threads. . .
From your history, seems you're never happy with anything.. .
THREE options:
1. Read and follow what's requested of YOU top of Post #3.
2. Use a different kernel
3. Use stock
Anyone using a Grace UX rom with this kernel and if so can you link me one that's working? Been wanting to try it out.

Download TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 for G906SKL
/* Requirements */
* Galaxy S5 broadband LTE-A (SM-G906S, G906K, G906L)
* Samsung stock firmware or Dokdo-projct
- Kitkat: ANK1
- Lollipop: BOG2 for G906K, BOH1 for G906S/L
* Custom recovery (Philz, TWRP, etc)
/* Note before using */
* Backup important data before installing
* Upon installation, every warranty inclusing KNOX becomes void
* I, kykint, am not responsible for any inconvenience or problems that occur while using this kernel
* Only one hotplug driver should be on (mpdecision, intelli_plug, alucard_hotplug, lazyplug)
Lazyplug is currently not supported on kernel customizing applications. Wait until their developers update.
* Dokdo-Project version of lolliwiz is highly experimental. Don't complain about battery drain.
It also does not support uninstaller yet.
/* About new installer */
Since Release 9, the installer will automatically extract your device's ramdisk, merge it with lolliwiz kernel, and then install it.
Upon installation, if a backup folder (/system/lolliwiz-bak) is found, it will automatically restore it first and then continue installation.
It will backup original boot.img and sensors library to the backup folder (/system/lolliwiz-bak) while installing.
There might be some problems regarding this new installer, so please keep the following instructions in mind.
* When installing another variant's ROM, do not install lolliwiz right after flashing ROM.
Install the stock kernel of your variant, and then install lolliwiz.
* Those who have been using R8 or older version of lolliwiz must flash stock kernel first before installing R9 or later.
* Do not install stock kernel when lolliwiz is installed on your device.
Only install stock kernel when uninstaller fails to remove lolliwiz and restore to stock kernel.

/* Chatters */
Release 9 and 10 are mostly bug fix releases, so there isn't much difference.
Kitkat support has been put off to R11, and if a bug is found again and R11 happens to be released early, it will be put off to later release again.
Still, I'm considering EOL of kitkat version as it is becoming harder to support the old Linux version.

F2FS Conversion manual
/* F2FS Conversion Manual */
(for LP and Dokdo-Project only, no KK support)
(Not tested on Dokdo-Project)
I will not add any additional explanations about F2FS, since this is a very risky task and recommended only for experts,
and since not knowing about F2FS means that you're not one of them.
Cautions
1. Conversion process of /data partition and filesystem will wipe away every single data in your device,
so every data in internal sdcard should be backed up on your PC.
2. Flashing /cache partition image when the device has already been converted to F2FS will format /cache partition to EXT4,
so manual conversion process of /cache partition to F2FS must be done again.
3. The /cache partition image mentioned above is included in stock firmware package, so be careful when installing stock firmware
4. Inside stock firmware is included a stock kernel which only supports EXT4, so again, be careful when installing stock firmware
5. /data and /cache partition must be set to the same filesystem, both EXT4, or both F2FS
6. I personally recommend that every process be done using my TWRP recovery, which will be posted in a seperate thread later.
7. The F2FS version of kernel zip has a '_F2FS' tag at the end of its filename, while EXT4 has nothing.
Be careful, Dokdo-Project version supports both EXT4 and F2FS, so they're not seperated,
and when converting to F2FS on Dokdo-Project, you can skip kernel switching(reinstalling) process.
How to change filesystem on TWRP
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > (Select a partition) > Repair or Change File System > Change FIle System > (choose between EXT4 and F2FS) > Swipe to Change
* It takes a great amount of time when changing to EXT4, up to several minutes.
How to check current filesystem on TWRP
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > (Select a partition) > Repair or Change File System
and you'll see your current filesystem on the upper part of the screen.
Converting to F2FS
0. For stability, flash uninstaller first if you already have lolliwiz installed.
1. Install F2FS version of Lolliwiz. (_F2FS.zip)
2. Change the filesystem of /data and /cache partition to F2FS.
3. Reboot into recovery mode again.
Back to EXT4
0. For stability, flash uninstaller first if you already have lolliwiz installed.
1. Install EXT4 version of Lolliwiz.
2. Change the filesystem of /data and /cache partition to EXT4.
3. Reboot into recovery mode again.
Installing stock firmware on F2FS
1. Reboot into download mode and install stock firmware with odin as usual.
2. When the installation finishes, it'll automatically reboot into recovery mode and flash CSC package.
Wait until androboy disappears and the device reboots again.
3. Reboot into download mode again.
4. Install my TWRP.
5. Reboot into recovery right after installing.
6. Install F2FS version of lolliwiz.
7. Format /cache partition to F2FS
8. Run factory reset if needed. This is an option.
9. Reboot.
If the device won't boot even if you carefully followed all of the above instructions, repeat the process again.
Thanks
Thanks I was on the Korean forums yesterday trying to translate lol.
I noticed there's a test for b5. Giving it a try.
One issue I seem to have on b4 and 5 test is that no matter what kernel tuning app I use if I turn off mpdecision and intelliplug on, after a reboot mpdecision always comes back on.

Kernel settings are set to defaults on each reboot and the default setting on hotplug is mpdecision on, intelli_plug off. That's why every kernel app has the ability to restore previous settings after reboot. Try enableing them, kernel adiutor works fine for me

Thanks, but I told it to save settings. It's weird as all the settings were saved, including intelliplug on, but mpdecision was turned on as well. I'll uninstall it and start again!

Nice to hear it's working well now.
I don't get donations, maybe you could donate to the REAL developers out there, they're always working hard for us XD
Very interesting!
I'm reading the Asian forums since a week and I have found that this kernel is well used.
How can I flash back stock kernel if something happens? And where can I find stock kernels??
If they are unavailable, I'd like to make my own Odin tar.md5 files for flashing stock kernel.
Can I follow the script/batch procedure (found here on Xda) that produces the tar.md5 flashable files?
Tnx!!

Good!
I'm following the Asian forum where I've found this kernel and related config app, from which I've read that there's a modified version of the app....And for this please give me some infos.
I'm also searching for some interesting custom rom as I see there are some, like the KingWolf one or the Milan one.
Any help on using this kernel with some roms?
Tnx!

I uploaded lollipop stock kernels for both recovery and odin. I'll upload for kitkat as well when I get the latest kitkat firmware.
Sorry, this might be a dumb question, but I'd rather ask it then brick my only smart-phone:
I'm currently on miscom's ROM (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/galaxy-s5-g906-custom-rom-t2848569)
Also using Philz recovery
How do I get to the Lolliwiz Kernel safely? Can I keep my apps, settings and so on?
Again, sorry. This is my first android phone (but certainly not the last one!) and I'm pretty clueless... But getting the miscom kernel on it was pretty easy with a bit of reading...

Make a backup of whole apps with TitaniumBackup first, then backup system, data, boot in philz recovery(run custom backup) and flash stock lollipop through odin. miscom's rom is 4.4.2 as I know of, and my kernel supports 5.0.1 only at the moment.
If your phone bootloops after flashing lollipop, factory reset through philz and restore apps from TitaniumBackup, or flash back stock kitkat firmware and then restore system, data, boot in recovery.
Note that flashing stock firmware will blow away your recovery and you should manually install it again with odin. Also, factory reset through philz will preserve your internal sdcard but stock recovery WILL NOT.

Great.... Bricked it.... Gonna need you guys' help again....
Did it like instructed... After flashing stuck lollipop, stuck on the second boot logo ("olleh o" for me).
Since recovery went back to stock, tried a factory reset and cache delete from the stock recovery... no help....

This GUIDE is aimed at users who want to REDUCE HEATING/TEMPERATURE & get LONGER BATTERY LIFE on all versions of the RR ROM
(It wont affect your AnTuTu scores much & you will be able to use your phone for hours without your battery, phone or fingers burning up)
NOTE: My tweaks are related to HARDWARE (CPU, GPU, IO & Screen) & not the software's power consumption
PRINCIPLE OF TWEAKS: : [1] Undervolting the CPU - to draw less power & run cooler
All the below steps will only take about 5 minutes to complete (& another 5 minutes if you need to install the Kernel)
STEP 1 - Flash ALUCARD's Kernel V3.4.108 (if you haven't already done so) from here (Thank's to @_Bon_Bon for the latest Kernel & permission to use his work)
Boot into recovery & flash the Zip (just like you flashed your ROM) - you will not lose any data at all
__________________________________________________
STEP 2 (AUTO MODE)
If you wish to get ALL my Kernel Tweaks in ONE STEP simply download this file OR download the default.zip (you need to unzip it) attachment
Save it to the root of your INTERNAL MEMORY (see screenshot on where it should be - you may already have a file with the same name there - please delete it)
Now open sTweaks -> select the BACKUP OR RESTORE tab -> Press RESTORE NOW
Wait 30 seconds.....
Now REBOOT -> open STWEAKS -> CPU Voltage - click Check the CPU Voltage are same as below (to be sure the settings are active) :good:
ALTERNATIVELY:....... (Manual mode - so you are involved in what is happening )
Open the sTweaks app -> CPU Voltage Control & put ON the CPU VOLTAGE MAIN SWITCH
Now set voltages as below:
NOTE: (these are for a PVS2 & above chipset found in over 90% of i9505's)
IF you face any freezing+lines on screen (it is because of others tweaks/settings - please stick to just using my Kernel settings)
IF freezing still persists it means you have a PVS1 or PVS0 chip - simply add +25mV to each setting if that's the case
378 kHz 750000 uV
486 kHz 750000 uV
594 kHz 750000 uV
702 kHz 775000 uV
810 kHz 812500 uV
918 kHz 825000 uV
1026 kHz 850000 uV
1134 kHz 875000 uV
1242 kHz 887500 uV
1350 kHz 912500 uV
1458 kHz 950000 uV
1566 kHz 975000 uV
1674 kHz 1012500 uV
1782 kHz 1062500 uV
1890 kHz 1100000 uV
Now go to the GPU tab in sTweaks & put on the " GPU VOLTAGE MAIN SWITCH"
Set GPU voltages as below
Level 1 895000 uV
Level 2 1000000 uV
Level 3 1100000 uV
Now Click on the CPU page & ensure ENABLE ON BOOT (Load all settings on Boot) & below it press LOAD ALL
REBOOT -> open STWEAKS -> CPU Voltage - click Check CPU Voltage (to be sure your above voltage settings are active) :good:
DONE !
I've overworked my phone for >100 hours & done over 55 full CPU/GPU stress tests with multiple CPU & benchmark tools to give you these STABLE final results.
With Games + Downloads + Benchmarking + Other apps + CPU Monitoring was running the CPU reached just 62C (see it in the screenshot attached)
I also took 2 back-to-back comparative benchmarks using AnTuTu & got 27,000 (an overall drop of just 6% from the initial 29,000)
RAM performance increases (cooler & more efficient) while Runtime & 3D performance loses out a little but this won't affect you unless you are into hardcore gaming/too much multi-tasking (if so then please do not reduce the GPU voltages)
Do share your results & experience - Happy tweaking folks! :highfive: & don't forget to hit that THANKS:good: button
This guide is aimed at users who want to get LONGER BATTERY LIFE on all versions of the RR ROM
(It wont affect your AnTuTu scores & you will be able to use your phone for hours without your battery burning up)
NOTE: This only tweaks the HARDWARE (CPU, Screen, Vibrator) & not the software's power consumption
PRINCIPLE OF TWEAKS:
1) Exploiting the AMOLED screen - to display more black (pixels off) thus increase battery life
2) Adjusting simple accessible settings - to improve performance/battery
All the below steps will only take about 5 minutes to complete from you SETTINGS MENU
_____________________________________________
MOBILE NETWORKS -> Preferred 3G/2G (unless you really want 4G)
MORE -> NFC (Off)
CONFIGURATIONS -> MISCELLANEOUS -> Widgets/CLOCK widget Setting(increase update freq) , Vibrator Intensity (40%)
CONFIGURATIONS -> BUTTONS -> Navigation Bar Buttons (OFF if using Hardware keys)
CONFIGURATIONS-> HARDWARE KEYS (Enable if BUTTONS is OFF) -> Backlight (Enable for 1 second)
THEMES -> Install "Nicholas' Blacked Out" theme & Also "Pitch Black" wallpaper (from PLAY STORE)
DISPLAY -> Adaptive Brightness (ON) , Sleep (15s or 30s) , Daydream (OFF) , Ambient Display (ON)
SOUND & NOTIFICATION -> Other Sounds -> Touch Sounds (OFF), Vibrate on touch (OFF), Vibrate (OFF)
DEVELOPER OPTIONS -> Window Animation Scale (1 or OFF), Transition Animation Scale (1 or OFF), Animator duration scale (1 or OFF)
SUPER SU# -> Settings -> Enable Su during boot (ON)
DONE !!! :good::good:
Screenshot's attached!
Don't forget to hit THANKS if I helped. :good::fingers-crossed:
p.s : This also works on other ROM's where you have similar settings that you can toggle/edit

4. Themes and personalization
All the download links can be found from the thread OP
A SAFE Odin version can be downloaded from this thread
Thanks to the developer!
1. Before ROM Install
Updating your Modem and Bootloader
I’ve already made a guide on how, why and where to download your Modem and bootloader files, so go check it out here
I’ve also made an up-to date thread with links to latest modems and bootloaders, here
Installing / Upgrading your recovery
Download and flash Official TWRP recovery 3.0.0
All TWRP recovery downloads for the JFLTEXX
Code:
[B] Features: [/B]
- It has touch screen support, for added convenience
- Works with all ROM installers
- Can be used to flash .zip and .img files
- Has added support for F2FS filesystems
- Has a beautiful UI
- It’s still being updated!
[B] How to install: [/B]
[B] If you already have TWRP v2.8.4 or higher installed: [/B]
1. Download and Unzip the TWRP-XXX-F2FS.tar.md5
2. Take out the recovery.img file and place it somewhere inside your phone
3. Boot into TWRP recovery
4. Go to Install -> Find and click the ‘Images...’ button
5. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it
6. Choose recovery and swipe to flash
7. Done!
[B] If you have stock / other recovery installed: [/B]
1. Download Odin from the link above
2. Unzip the file you downloaded and open Odin3.exe
3. Power off your device completely
4. Turn on your device by pressing volume-up and the power buttons
5. Attach the device to your computer via a USB cable
6. Make sure Odin detects your device and click the AP button
7. Browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and start the flash
8. Done!
Then boot into recovery if not already there
Converting / formatting filesystems to F2FS
Formatting filesystems as F2FS is suggested, if your ROM / Kernel supports it
This is done to improve speed and storage lifespan.
Code:
Filesystems that | Which
you can convert | Method
------------------------------------------------------
/cache | Format
/data | Format / Restore
/sdcard | Format
/system | Restore
/preload | Format
-------------------------------------------------------
EXT4 on /system is actually faster than F2FS, because it's a read only partition.
So, if you don't mess around with /system on a regular basis, converting it is not necessary.
Code:
[B] Converting filesystems through formatting: [/B]
1. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
2. Click the checkbox for the desired partition
3. Click Repair or Change File System
4. Now you can see the current filesystem format, if it’s already F2FS, can skip to step 6
5. Click ‘Change File System’ -> choose F2FS and swipe to change
6. Done!
[B] Converting filesystems through restoring a backup: [/B]
1. Go to Backup and choose the partition(s) you want to convert and back them up
2. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
3. Click the checkbox for the desired partition
4. Click Repair or Change File System
5. Now you can see the current filesystem format, if it’s already F2FS, can skip to step 10
6. Click ‘Change File System’ -> choose F2FS and swipe to change
7. Go to Settings and check: ”Use rm -rf instead of formatting”
8. Go to Restore and select the backup you made earlier
9. Restore the partition you converted to F2FS from that backup
10. Repeat above steps for all partitions you desire to convert / backed-up
11. Done!
Flash-able tweaks and mods
If you haven’t flashed your ROM and GAPPs yet, now is the time to do so
If the ROM doesn’t have a suggested GAPPs, choose Open GAPPs from the OP

Additional tweaks
Some other small tweaks and tricks that aren’t that effective or aren’t suitable for the average user
You have been warned, some of the following TIPs aren’t suitable for everyone! So try them at your own risk!
Code:
1. Reducing resolution
Now, this boosts graphics performance A LOT, but can cause instability
You need a resolution changer app, I’d recommend NOMone Resolution
Changer from the Play Store
You have two choices, two thirds of the original resolution or three fourths
of the original resolution
(These two are the ones I chose, you can try out your own ones at your own risk)
Original
[ATTACH]3407082._xfImport[/ATTACH]
2/3
[ATTACH]3407084._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Width = 720, Height = 1280, LCD Density = 360 / 330
Gives more performance, difference is hard to see
[B] (Some games and apps might not be supported with this resolution, like Dead Trigger 2) [/B]
In addition, if you think that the icons are too large, you can go back and change LCD Density to 330
3/4
[ATTACH]3407083._xfImport[/ATTACH]
Width = 810, Height = 1440, LCD Density = 360
Gives performance, difference is impossible to see
3. Recommended and useful apps
sEFix, Entropy Tweaker
It’s a handy little app that changes Entropy generation threshold. Increasing Entropy generation threshold can reduce slowdowns while using apps that rely on randomly generated numbers.
Code:
1. Download the app from the Play Store, [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zdvdev.sef"]here[/URL]
2. Open the app and move the slider, so the threshold shows 1024
3. Done!
Greenify, App Hibernator
Now then, we’ve all heard about the battery and performance boosting app, known as Greenify
It needs no introduction and no explanation, just go check out its XDA thread and enjoy your new found power!
Amplify, WakeLock stopper
Using this app you can prevent and customize what Wakelocks are allowed to happen and how often. It’s a handy app and worth your time, so go check out its website!
Power Nap For XPOSED
Yet another Wakelock blocker. This app lets you choose what applications that are allowed to cause Wakelocks and it blocks all others. Go check out its XDA thread!
4. Themes and personalization
This is why Android, for me anyways, it’s the best OS for your phone out there.
Customizations! Themes! Boot Animations! Endless possibilities!
So I challenge you, to tell us your favourite themes and layouts and leave links from where to find them! Some of them will be given a place in this guide!

CAMERA HACKS & MODS
If you face a Camera bug on any Lollipop ROM where hardware interface crashes after shooting some photos/videos & it says "UNABLE/IMPOSSIBLE TO CONNECT TO CAMERA".
just reboot into recovery & flash this file
Your camera will NEVER crash again!!!! Credits to @AntaresOne
Samsung's Camera drivers are closed-source (locked) so custom ROM developers are not able to extract the full potential of the hardware (eg HDR & manual camera settings such as focal length etc.)
No Camera app can fix that issue - however I would recommend you use any of these Camera applications:
1)"OpenCamera" from Play store
2) Google Camera (preinstalled) for normal & panorama shots.
3) CM12 modded CameraNext v22 from this link
"CM Camera" is nice but again due to driver limitations it's features get limited & also Panorama sometimes crashes!
MODS/ZIPS
Here you'll find all my handy little mods and explanations what they do
I do accept request, just don't ask me to build an AI ;D
These mods require the latest busybox and init.d support!
Busybox
Don't have Busybox, or you don't like your current build? Then try mine!
It comes in 3 different builds to be used in different situations and is definitely worth your time
Now also includes a dynamic installer script! It can be used to install and update the build, so you only have to download the installer once!
SwaPa
Using this script the user can create a swap space into cache, from 50mb to 150mb.
Most users don't need it, as it's only useful if you're doing some serious multitasking or benchmarking.
When android runs out of physical memory (that rarely happens on our phone) it normally starts to kill any inactive background processes, but first gives them a chance to persist their progress (Caching or writing it down to /data) With swap, android moves the process to a swap file and retrieves it when it's needed again, so it acts like a slower version of RAM.
It also has the ability to remove all swap spaces, including Zram.
Zram is bad on a phone with a lot of physical ram (like ours) so it can be disabled. You can read more about it here.
Fstrim 3.0
When android deletes files it just writes 0 to the block where it was. This means that when android wants to rewrite to that block, it first has to completely empty it and this decreases performance. And someone could potentially recover the data that was on that block, possibly stealing personal information. So this script every 5 hours "trims" (clears blocks considered empty) /data, /system, /preload and /cache, prolonging your phones storage lifetime and improving performance. And it creates a log file to /data so you can see how much was "trimmed" You can read more about it here.
New feature! Cache dumping! Android caches apps for faster start-up and usage, but on some ROMs/Kernels this can cause lag after few days, or even few hours! Now this script dumps the cached ram for an instant speed boost!

Sorry... misclicked
Will my s4 charge faster if i set the charging to 1900mA in the kernel?
Because i have a 4port usb charging port with an output of 3amps i believe.

@droidblitz you must keep the sTweaks settings for AC Charging at 1900mA in the Kernel & USB at 460mA
Only if you have a charger 1.9A charger only will it charge super-fast to full capacity - BUT it will also heat up the circuits & it's not advisable to use the phone at such times.
P.S - I don't have the original charger (nor do I have the original battery) so I use a 1A charger to fill the battery & it does the job in a few hours (around 4-5 hrs I guess) and it doesnt heat the battery or circuits much (which means my battery will last me much much longer)

In plain language
DO NOT STEAL MY SH*T !!
UpInTheAir is NOT responsible, the person you see in the mirror is !!
REQUIREMENTS:
Supported variant only !!
Touch Wiz Android M 6.0.1 ROM or UX leaked firmware (beta support)
Appropriate custom recovery (i.e..TWRP for your variant)
INSTALLATION & UPDATE:
If you have Synapse installed = = you must clear Synapse app data before flash !!
Device Settings: Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK is ENABLED
Boot into custom recovery (volume UP + home + power)
DO NOTHING but flash SkyHigh kernel.zip (ALWAYS flash again AFTER any custom ROM installation, system or data wipe)
After flash == DO NOTHING but REBOOT IMMEDIATELY from TWRP or you will have to re-flash !!
CONVERT EXT4 TO F2FS FS:
If not already, install the latest TWRP for your device variant (ie. 3.0.2-2). This must support F2FS.
Boot into TWRP.
Insert USB-OTG
** ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED FROM INTERNAL STORAGE (restored later)
Backup (copy) all important files (incl. your NANDROID) off device (ie. from internal storage > USB STORAGE). This can take a while. Advanced > File Manager > .....
Home > Backup > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > "Swipe to Backup" (Only need DATA, but recommend to backup all partitions).
Install > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK.
Select f2fs.zip > "Swipe to confirm flash" (This will WIPE ALL DATA !! & convert DATA & CACHE to F2FS. System is not supported by kernel).
Check the box to remember setting and “Swipe to allow Modifications”.
If you do not have Step #8, then Data was not converted to F2FS.
Mounts > unchecked both Cache & Data. Repeat Step #7 & 8.
Restore > Select Storage > USB Storage > OK > Select TWRP Backup folder > DATA ONLY !! > "Swipe to Restore" (ignore warning about EXT4).
Home > Install > Select Skyhigh_kernel.zip > "Swipe to confirm Flash".
Home > Mount > USB STORAGE > uncheck/unmount (then remove USB-OTG).
Home > Reboot > SYSTEM.
Wait ~2-5 mins for boot.
Once booted, let stabilize for ~5 mins.
You can check Data & Cache F2FS FS status in either /proc/mounts or Synapse app (FS section).
Use a root type explorer (su permission) & navigate to /sdcard, and delete the "0" folder.
Move (copy) your backed up files from Step #4 to internal storage (/sdcard). This can take a while. Maybe one folder at a time is better?
ISSUES ?
If using TWRP MTP mode, deleting some folders/files may crash TWRP and cause corruption. Instead, use a root type file explorer to delete from device.
If you need to wipe data, then use the ext4 or f2fs.zip, otherwise this is not possible with this TWRP !!
Not tested any method with customized ROMs. The ROM installer script may re-format partitions back to EXT4 or not mount correctly causing TWRP crash or corruption. I can only suggest to Flash ROM with EXT4 FS > make a NANDROID on USB-OTG and then follow the F2FS steps above.
CONVERT F2FS TO EXT4 FS:
The Same steps as above, but use the ext4.zip !!
OPTIONAL SYNAPSE INSTALLATION:
After boot:
Wait at least 120 secs to stabilize
Install Synapse app from Google Play and rate it ☆☆☆☆☆ !!
Open Synapse
Tap "Understood"
So changes stick every time you start Synapse == Make any change & 'apply'.
Recommend: Disable KNOX with Synapse
DOWNLOADS:
** I will NEVER support KOREAN (S/K/L) variant. Get over it and flash ARTER kernel instead !! **
Mod Edit: Link removed.
BUGS:
Aroma Installer: 10% of installation will encounter Aroma installer "freeze". It's only the display that freeze, the script still execute in the background. Just wait a minute, then press slightly to the top right 'home' key / top left of the 'back' key . . .

FAQ & HELP:
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
Additionally, I do not build for any device that I can not compile using SAME source, personally test method or debug. Some device variants can compile with same source.
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
NO == My ramdisk modifications are COPYRIGHT (refer LICENSE in Post #2), and distribution without MY (UpInTheAir) prior written consent is not only in a breach of that license, but also XDA Rule #12)
Although I do appreciate your contribution, if you could please do not include my kernel in any ROM package etc. This policy goes for anyone.
Having my kernel distributed outside my development thread just removes a lot of credit and more importantly, constructive user feedback that could be helpful to my development or user issue.
ALWAYS on DISPLAY (AoD)
I have spent some time to attempt port S7 display drivers to our kernel, but haven't had success as yet with too many errors.
TBH, it's a lot of work for something I'm not really interested in or would use. . . so I don't wish to spend any more of my own time on it, sorry. If someone else does it, GREAT
DO I "NEED" SYNAPSE
THERE IS NO "NEED" !!
It is "recommended", which is OPTIONAL, and not "needed".
It is for ADVANCED or adventurous users who wish more control of their device or use various features I've added.
Using any other optional tweaking or control app may conflict & many features and options won't be available.
WHY WAIT 120 SECS
The kernel and Synapse scripts need time to boot up properly and allow SU permission.
There are scripts / code that have a deliberate delay and must run after Synapse. These are not user optional.
Synapse has a stability check on boot. You may get "synapse boot cancelled".
Thermal throttling will be trying to limit many things, let the device settle
OTHER PARTY CAN NOT HEAR VOICE ON SPEAKER PHONE
It could be a conflict in the system/etc/mixer_*.xml. I don't know for sure, but if I exclude the sound mod, then this "fixes" the problem.
As I cannot reproduce the issue (and the majority), then the audio mod stays.
Unfortunately, making it optional would require to build kernels without and create much more work for many device I don't actually use.
Either live with it, or use another kernel. Sorry.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP / RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue !!
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions. (kernel install zip flashes proven busybox binary to /system/xbin)
BACKUP & RESTORE
DO NOT restore profiles from different kernel version

LOADABLE MODULES AREN'T WORKING
Check your /system/lib/modules directory. Are any ____.ko present?
Did you flash a ROM or wipe the system partition at any point? Doing this will remove them !
Re-flash the kernel will install the modules.
If modules aren't installed after flash, then re-flash and manually mount system in recovery first.
You can check running modules in terminal with:
lsmod

BATTERY TIPS (require updating !! )
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Default (values are battery orientated)
Power Aware Scheduling (slight performance cost) = Enabled
HMP LITTLE Packing (slight performance cost) = Enabled
PEWQ (power-efficient workqueue) (slight performance cost) = Enabled
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Battery
Set Input-Booster for key/touchkey profile = Battery
Multi-tasking: enable UKSM & "low" or "quiet" profile (slight performance/battery cost)
PERFORMANCE TIPS (requires updating !! )
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
Set HMP threshold profiles = Stock or Performance
Once in a while:
Optimize Databases
FSTrim
RANDOM REBOOT
Don't UV or UC CPU or GPU
Use SkyHigh defaults
Use a stock UNMODIFIED ROM for your device variant
No tweaks, Xposed or other CPU control apps installed

POOR CPU/GPU BENCHMARK or GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE
Disable any CPU MULTICORE options in Synapse
Disable any Battery profiles in Synapse. Set to default or Performance.
Allow the device to cool. Repetitive testing will heat the device hardware and invoke thermal throttling and lead to decreased benchmark.
HIGH CPU/GPU OC == excessive heat == thermal throttling == reduced clock frequency == DECREASE PERFORMANCE
DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DIRTY PAGE WRITEBACKS
by Christopher83
This feature allows to have two different intervals for dirty page writebacks and to dynamically manage them when the system has been resumed (it's active) or when has been suspended.
Three new procfs parameters are exposed inside /proc/sys/vm path:
dynamic_dirty_writeback is the activation status of this feature, set 1 to enable it, set 0 to disable it and use the standard behaviour
dirty_writeback_active_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is active (screen on)
dirty_writeback_suspend_centisecs is the interval for the dirty page writebacks when the system is suspended (screen off)
This feature is in part inspired on Francisco Franco's PATCH

@UpInTheAir needed to create these threads to compile them for Synapse. He contacted me to close these as soon as he made them until he is ready with the finished product. Have patience.
Also I would like to apologize to UITA as the last ban may have been due to a system glitch where the signature was restored upon return, so was unjust. I have seen these glitches before and better communication might have prevented the error. We will do better going forward!

SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
SkyHigh KERNEL REBORN - v5.6 released !!
Hi fellow members.
Please find my latest release for SkyHigh kernel. There are many many changes, both visually (more / improved features) and a upgraded engine (better performance & efficiency) since I last publicly released. Far too many to talk about. . . .
Please note that although I have taken as much care in building and testing by my friends and I, the kernel may still not perform as hoped for you. Could be due to various factors including (but limited to):
hardware quality
firmware installed (incompatibility)
user habit (how you use the device)
apps & mods installed, customization's (conflicts)
user kernel settings (read them carefully - if in doubt == defaults)
As noted in Post #3, I may not have your device variant and not be always able to help either. In the end, sometimes SkyHigh is just not meant for you . . . .
If you have issues = = READ & FOLLOW ALL Posts #1-3
READ & FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTALLATIONS EXACTLY (or else device will not boot)
Also please note (as per OP) the support for UX based ROMS is still in beta. I have personally tested very briefly, and also some of my friends (not all variant)
Enjoy
UITA

BUG Report Update: UX firmware Bluelight Filte
The blue-light issue is in kernel source.
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + stock ramdisk + stock dt.img == no blue-light
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + stock ramdisk (with permission edits) + stock dt.img == no blue-light
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + UX ramdisk + stock dt.img == no blue-light
Compiled & flash SkyHigh + UX ramdisk + UX dt.img == no blue-light
Which all points to the source I’m using . . . and nothing I can do about it. That's leaked firmware and no proper source, what else to expect. . . .
Good to see you back! Been running v5.6 since early yesterday and it has held up great.
Out of curiosity, I flashed a UX based ROM along with SkyHigh and it booted up. No data since it was for another variant (even though it was claimed that it works for Sprint). Just wanted to report that it was booting for UX.

Nice. Haven't BLIND build for anyone to test for Sprint as so much development has gone on since.
Some variant can be incompatible due to firmware issues, and indeed individual devices too. For example, had to remove the adaptive touchkey and brightness mods for a friends N9208 to remain stable.
YES! You're back!!!
Been running now for 4 hours without any issues. If something wonky happens, I'll get logs.

Well extra props to you for being able to pull this off blind! Maybe somebody smarter than me can port one of the UX ROMs so we can really give it a test.

Oh, I just meant that the only problem that I found was that I had a no SIM error. I wasn't trying to imply that it was kernel related. More so that the problem was that I was flashing a ROM built for the international variants. From what I could tell, your 920P kernel was running well on UX.

That could be anything. But, most likely due to incompatible ROM same as the T/W8 and not the kernel. Some ramdisk permissions may have changed though.
Up In The Air,
I am loving this new kernel and all the great functions with synapse. My battery is finally lasting 2 days with moderate use. Thanks for coming back and for all your hard work it is greatly appreciated.

Kirisakura-Kernel for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL
Hello everyone,
After rising to the most popular kernel on the Pixel 3/XL forums, here is Kirisakura-Kernel for the Pixel 4 (FLAME) and Pixel 4 XL (CORAL), together FLORAL.
Kirisakura - Kernel is designed to bring a handful of beneficial features to the device, while ensuring excellent performance and smoothness to get you safely through the day!
The kernel aims to keep most of the subsystems updated, way ahead of the stock kernel, thereby improving security, stability and performance!
This includes Linux-Stable, CAF-Upstream, F2FS-Mainline and kernel/common.
If that got you curious,have a read about linux-stable and why it is important here. The stable-process is not the same for every subsystem, but the general idea, rule of thumb and benefits are applicable for other subsystems as well.
Main Features:
- Based on latest kernel sources from Google, Kernel is made for Android 13
- Linux-Stable-Upstream included to latest 4.14.315
- CAF-Upstream usually based on one of the latest tags for sm8150
- include all important fixes/improvements from kernel/common
- compiled with latest Clang 16.0.2 from Google prebuilts and built with -O3 optimizations
- F2FS implementation updated to latest state of kernel/common and kernel.org maintained by Jaegeuk Kim.
- devfreq backports from 5.4 (sd 888 qcom kernel base)
- Safety Net patches are included -> Kernel passes Safety Net (hardware attestation is not related to these kernel patches)
- Flashing the kernel will keep root!
- Tested to work on custom ROMs
- Flashable via EXKM and FKM on a rooted system!
- remove extensive Memory Management logging from Google
- removed nolog usage, remove rtb logging from the kernel
- remove selinux auditing from kernel for lower overhead
- remove IPC logging from the kernel
- introduce kmalloc reclaimable caches for improved memory management
- AnyKernel3 powered by @osm0sis (big thanks!)
EAS related features:
- CleanSlate options to dynamically control freq boosting and sched boosting of powerhal
- small improvements to tasks placement
- fixes from kernel/common to EAS
- improvements from Pixel 5
CPU related features:
- Power saving workingqueues enabled by default (toggleable in EXKM)
have a read here: https://lwn.net/Articles/731052/
this complements EAS in general
- Change various drivers (WLAN, MM, audio, charger, power, thermal, glink etc) to user power efficient workingqueues. This should work well in conjunction with EAS
- include cpuidle patches from CAF
- s2idle-flow improvements from mainline
- improve efficiency while music playback
- arm64: lse: Prefetch operands to speed up atomic operations
- improve camera launch time
File System related features:
- Include latest f2fs changes found on f2fs stable git
- Include rapid GC by @arter97 ( best thing is to read the commit description linked here. I compared GC on stock google f2fs, upstreamed f2fs and f2fs with rapid GC. Rapid GC is the most effective, followed by upstreamed f2fs.)
GPU related features:
- KCAL to control various RGB related display configs (RGB, Hue, Saturation etc -> accessible via CleanSlate Config App)
- add ability to reduce minimum brightness
- add high-brightness-mode (HBM)
- Update GPU driver to latest CAF state
- improve GPU performance (overall smoother experience)
- reduce power consumption when rendering static images
- enable of usage of SD855+ GPU frequencies as optional feature
UI/UX/Usability related features from CleanSlate:
- CleanSlate features made by @tbalden
- Adjust all CleanSlate features with the CleanSlate-Apps found in the CleanSlate-Thread (if you profit from the CleanSlate features make sure to buy the premium versions on Play-Store to support
@tbalden
- CleanSlate options that require permissive selinux in any way are not included, as they can be easily achieved otherwise on a rooted environment and this kernel is not intended to be used rootless (adblocking, props spoofing etc.)
- Flashlight Notification/Call blinking
- Vibrating Notification Reminder
- Sweep to Sleep touchscreen gesture - highly customizable
- DoubleTap on Sweep2Sleep's area gestures - new way to pull down android Notification Area
- Face down screen off - new gesture, e.g. conveniently use together with 'flip to shh' to turn screen off
Network related features:
- Wireguard Support (Details)
Memory related features:
- updated PSI monitor with latest changes
- improved mm with patches from latest mainline
- various other changes from mainline
- included zstd and lz0-rle as options for ZRAM-algorithm (lz4 is probably the best all around, so only change it if you know why and what you are doing)
- allow swappiness up to a value of 200
- Backport to enable CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PMD (see here)
- Backport to enable CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PUD (see here) (reverted for now as it breaks audio driver)
- improvements to ZRAM writeback (thanks @arter97 )
- disable per cgroup tracking via psi to reduce overhead
Security related features:
- CFI and LTO both kept intact and are used to keep additional security Google implemented for us!
- ThinLTO used as of 3.9.0
- Shadow Call Stack
Tuned PowerHal
- allow kernel to idle on lowest frequencies when no interaction is happening
- increase swappiness during periods without interaction to favor swapping memory, relax swappiness otherwise
- scheduler camera processes to the big cluster and prime core when faceunlock is used
- adjust powerhal behaviour when the camera is used
Misc Features:
TCP Congestion Algorithms:
- advanced algorithms enabled
- includes new bbr2
Wakelock Blocker:
- advanced wakelock blocker with the ability to block any wakelocks (dangerous, use with caution)
- please read [URL="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/08/p-is-for-power-how-google-tests-tracks-and-improves-android-battery-life/"]this for further info
Other features:
- disable logging to make the kernel more lightweight in various places (includes mm, vma, gpu, ipa etc)
- remove VLAs from the kernel (more info)
- add support for steam controller
- add support for nintendo switch controller
- merge upstream solution for PM/Wakeup driver, which reduces unnecessary logspam and also improves sleeping behaviour
- merge freezer v2 backport from google gerrit (required for developer option ""suspend execution for cached apps"")
Feature section for the "non visible" but perceptible improvements:
- updated binder section (responsible for interprocess communication)
- updated sdcardfs ; have a read about it here:
Requirements
- unlocked Bootloader
- USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
- latest adb and fastboot binaries
- working adb and fastboot environment
- working magisk environment
- latest stock rom (custom roms can have issue, several users reported success when rooted with magisk 24.3 instead of latest)
How to flash the Kernel:
1. Download the kernel.zip to your device
1a. While it may not be necessary all times when coming from another custom kernel: You may want to restore stock boot.img as well as stock dtbo.img, which can both be found in the factory image. If you´re on a custom rom, simply dirty flash your ROM. Reroot with magisk and optionally install twrp.zip (if existing). Before reporting issues make sure you do that! Thank you!
1b. If you used the SQLITE3 Magisk Module and the GPay Fix Magisk Module in the past look at this post: click me
You only need to do either 2a OR 2b
2a. If TWRP is available for this device and specific android version, boot to TWRP and flash my kernel.zip. Root will be preserved!
or
2b. Flash kernel zip in EX Kernel Manager or FKM app. Root will be preserved! If a kernel manager is not yet updated to work on a specific Android Version, you need to wait until it is updated or use another one.
4. Reboot and profit!

F.A.Q:
Question: Is root preserved when flashing this kernel?
Answer: Yes the Anykernel Zip will detect root and keep it.
Question: How do I return back to stock or another kernel.
Answer: Extract boot.img and dtbo.img from the factory image and flash them via fastboot.
Question: How to report bugs properly?
Answer: Have a look at post #3 in this thread. The linked guide is a pretty good starting point.
Before reporting any bug make sure you´re not using any mods, magisk modules, scripts or other modifications that alter various functions like sound mods, data traffic etc.
Try to describe the issue as detailed as possible! Give your exact setup, like rom, magisk version, kernel version.
Is the issue reproducible? Does it happen frequently?
Provide logs, otherwise debugging is a lot harder. If you can already reproduce the issue and provide logs it greatly limits the amount of time I have to spent until I figure out how to reproduce it.
If the device force reboots/randomly reboots (that means you see the bootloader unlocked screen!) provide a ramoops file.
Easiest way is immediately after booting up, with a root explorer navigate to sys/fs/pstore. Copy the contents to your internal storage, zip it up and send it to me.
If the issue happens while the device is running provide a dmesg plus a logcat that you take while/shortly after the issue happens. This will log what´s running in the current session. Try to be as detailed as possible what´s happening when the issue appears. It will also help me in reading the log!
Useful Resources
How to report bugs:
It is incredibly useful if bug reports are done in a proper way. That saves everyones time and will ultimately lead to a faster bugfix (hopefully).
The following guide from @nathanchance is a very good guideline on how to properly report a bug!
https://github.com/nathanchance/Android-Tools/blob/master/Guides/Proper_Bug_Reporting.txt
SQLite3 and GPay Fix Magisk Module:
The combination of these two modules and F2FS-Upstream patches included in the 1.0.x release kernels, caused the device to freeze sporadically after rebooting.
2.0.0 does not include F2FS-Upstream so these two modules can be used again.
To remove the modifications done by these modules and start clean again on Release 2.0.0 and the following releases do the following:
1. Remove the SQLite 3 Module and the GPay Fix Magisk Module by following instructions
2. Do a full reboot
3. Wait a few minutes after successfully booting
4. Clear data and cache for Google Play Services, Google Play Store and Google Pay
5. Wait a few minutes so all deleted stuff gets rebuilt properly and reboot again
6. I´d prefer to use the following method to enable GPAY functionality instead of the modules: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80763371&postcount=11
7. If you really have to, install both modules and make sure you´re on Kirisakura 2.0.0 or greater
Oh snap! The fun has begun boys! Good to see your kernel here!
Glad to see dev progress so quickly. Will check this out. Kudos
That was awfully quick! So glad to see you here.
Thank you @Freak07. Flashed without a problem with EX KM. Nice work.
That was quick! Thank you so much. :good:
I am unbelievably excited to see you here! I'm glad to see an amazing DEV working so hard, and quick, to bring an amazing kernel to the 4xl!
So very happy @Freak07 maintaining a kernel for the OP7/7pro and now the P4/P4XL. Thanks for all you do man!!
Anyone has an alternate download link? Because androidfilehost is extremely slow and terminate the connection after about 15-30 minutes
You got the 4 XL, awesome! Happy to see you here
Getting my 4 XL tomorrow, will be flashing this as soon as it's delivered
Ok the download worked finally. Such a crap, had a lot of similar problems with this lousy hoster in the past
Dies anyone know If it is possible to get 4k at 60 fps? On other Smartphones it was possible in the past but i don't know if it will be possible with our Pixel 4.
any big difference between exkm and fkm?
glad to see you here...
PS: Ignore my PM lol
Good to go!

Nice! Flashed with EXKM or FKM? Or good old fashioned fastboot flash boot?
Edit: Flashed with FKM and no issues with flashing.
I do notice that charge speed is about 1500mA slower than with stock kernel. Although I do remember with my Pixel 2 XL similar behavior occurred with a slower reported mA, but overall charge time was basically the same as stock kernel.
Edit 2: And of course I jumped the gun. Just checked again and charging is back to stock speed, approximately 3200mA.

For flashing no. Both flash the same way.
I Feel compelled to remind people dont ask for features or ETA's especially the day a kernel gets released. I already see that in the first page.
That being said:
The developer here wants feedback about how the kernel works on the device not a bunch of off topic comments /questions this is a development forum.
We do have a q/a and general section for this device feel free to create a proper thread.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKS! YOU ARE FLASHING THIS KERNEL AND ITS YOUR CHOICE TO DO IT OR NOT TO DO IT AND YOU'RE THE ONE DOING IT. I JUST WANT TO HELP OTHERS OUT.
REQUIREMENTS: UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND ROOT.
IMPORTANT: THIS KERNEL IS MEANT TO WORK ONLY ON STOCK ROM, IT WONT WORK ON CUSTOM ROMS, CUSTOM ROMS ALREADY PROVIDE WITH THE ROM CUSTOM KERNEL AS ALMOST ALL CUSTOM ROMS ALREADY USE MY KERNEL, THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE CUSTOM ROM KERNEL AVAILABLE IN DOTOS BUT FOR STOCK ROM. IT CAN WORK ON ANY LG G7 THINQ MODEL.
How to flash:
1. Download Smartpack Kernel Manager (free) from playstore or any other kernel manager that supports flashing zips such as Franco kernel manager, Ex kernel manager etc;
2. Go to Flash section in the kernel manager, in smartpack press on the 3 lines in the top left corner, scroll down and tap on SmartPack;
3. Press on the button that looks like a lightning, select the zip and wait for it to flash;
4. Reboot;
5. Enjoy.
Features:
- Compiled with Proton Clang 13.0;
- Upstreamed ZRAM compression and decompression algorithms, now ZRAM should be almost as fast as RAM;
- Sultan's Custom Input Boost;
- Sultan's Devfreq Boost;
- F2FS support.
- Rapid GC for F2FS thanks to Arter97;
- Modified CpuSets;
- Quad dac driver backported from LG V50 ThinQ;
- Simple lmk from sultan;
- 4.9.235.
- LA.UM.8.3.r1-08100-sdm845.0 CAF Tag, Why 8100 only and not newer ? Because it performs the best, i've tested even Android 11 tags, it performs worse, this tag is more efficient for battery life while maintaining same performance if not better;
- RCU backported from 4.14 kernel;
- Binder backported from 5.4 kernel;
- Cpu idle, lmp levels and pm qos improvements, should reduce idle drain.
- Sultan's Pid Map improvements. (Helps a lot in gaming performance, especially in genshin impact);
- A lot of KGSL improvements thanks to Sultan. (KGSL - GPU driver in the kernel);
- Cache improvements;
- Scheduler Improvements;
- CONFIG_HZ = 250;
- 128kb Readahead. Why ? Because thats the default value in linux and pixels as well;
- Updated Energy Model from freqbench result , this will lead to less power consumption;
- Removed inefficient frequencies;
- Added efficient frequencies in schedutil;
- Improvements in schedutil;
- Added support for steam & nintendo swich controllers;
- Many other improvements.

How to unlock bootloader
How to root:
This method works on any lg g7 thinq model apart TM (T-Mobile)
Firstly you have to unlock bootloader.
1. Install magisk manager
2. Boot into 9008 mode
3. Backup your boot_a image using Qfil (Read data)
4. Copy it to your phone
5. Rename it to boot_a.img
6. Go in magisk manager —-> install —-> Select and patch an image —-> select the image.
7. Copy the patched boot image file to your PC (its located in downloads folder in your phone)
8. Flash it with fastboot/qfil ( fastboot flash boot_a < drag and drop over the cmd the image > // select boot_a and load image in qfil)
NOTE: IF IT TELLS YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT ROOTED THEN DO THE SAME PROCESS BUT WITH BOOT_B.

note: you need to reflash vbmeta to unlock the vendor/system lock.
Hi I have a Lg g7 emw on A10 ,unlock the bootloader , after it rooted with magisk on boot_a

is there a step by step tutorial for this? im a newbie
Thank you so much for sharing this. I've successfully flashed this on my Korean variant G7 [G710N]
I have a problem with my 128GB SD card, my phone can't use it anymore when it is formatted as exFAT. When I insert it in my phone it always say that it is corrupted and that I need to format it, but when I format it in my phone it's formatted as FAT32. I'm sure that I've used a couple of exFAT SD cards before, is it because of this kernel?
Tested the kernel.. so far the lg g7 stays cool on geishin impact, and the battery last a little longer, nice job developer, thank for your job, just two questions ..
1: will the kernel be updated from time to time?(i hope so)
2: what are the best configs for this kernel(for battery and for performance)?

1. Yes it will be updated when i find more improvements to do in the kernel.
2. There are no configs, do not use any other modules related to performance,tweaks whatever those do worse do not try any ( examples like: nfs tweaker, zeetatweaks, fde optimiser) or whatever they were called just do not use this type of modules if you want the best performance and battery life. The kernel is already tuned for the best meaning you do not have to tweak anything.

Wow thank you so much
I found a bug.
On 1.2 the gcam gone crazy, like no buffer fix installed (i already tried to disable and enable the module)
Edit: I was on 1.0 before the bug appeared.

The kernel should not affect this kind of stuff, you can try flashing 1.0 again, over 1.2, becauuse you can do that as it replaces the entire kernel there's no "updating" process its just replacing the kernel.

Gcam with buffer fix (Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145) is working fine for me.
Sorry guys, was the Secure boot. I enabled this after updated the kernel. Tried rollback 1.1, 1.0 and no sucess... the gcam was broken on 1.0 too. Then i thinked that could be the secure boot (Encendido Seguro in spanish). After reboot the gcam started going fine.
Sorry about my bull**** over 1.2.
Running the N0kernel for the first day and no problems so far, everything seems to be very stable. Cant really compare to stock, I only have the phone for a few days.
