Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this kernel compatible with ROM(s) a/b/c?
Ans: I do not know. All of my kernels are based off and tested only on Samsung Stock-MM. However, it will most probably work on any custom ROMs using Samsung’s stock kernel source.
Q2: Which version of kernel should I use?
Ans: I recommend you to always use the latest.
Q3: Is this kernel better than stock/‘xyz’ kernel(s)?
Ans: Regarding stock, Yes, It should be better in many aspects (Otherwise it will never been published). Regarding ‘xyz’ kernels, I don’t know. I even may not used your mentioned ‘xyz’ kernels.
Q4: How about performance/SOT?
Ans: Since SOT, performance etc. are largely based on several factors such as ROM, installed apps etc. No one else can exactly predict the performance/SOT of your mobile. So, you should test and find out that by yourself.
Q5: Can you tell me the best settings for performance/SOT?
Ans:Again, that depends on several factors. I can only say my favorite settings that gives me best results in my favorite ROM.
Q6: Which are the best CPUfreq gov/CPU hotplug/IOScheduler/TCP congestion algorithm for battery life/performance etc?
Ans: Again you need to find out those things yourself. To get more idea, I suggest you to read this awesome guide by @Saber
Q7: Could you add feature x and y to your kernel?
Ans: Not sure. It depends on the feature and the capability of device. Anyway, I’m happy to check and add, if possible, any useful features (unless it is too experimental or dangerous) to my kernel. Please give your suggestions in the official xda thread.
Q8: When will you release a new version of this kernel?
Ans: New updates will arrive whenever I have something new to present in-front of you (such as I managed to add new useful features, or fix some existing issues or along with Samsung's new open source code release).
Q9: I found a bug, what do I do?
Ans: Please provide as much information as possible (such as what feature, what didn\'t work, screenshots or logcat if possible) and post in this thread.

I dont know much about kernel but i would like to know if we add more 4g band through kernel.
I tried NV browse to add band 40 and 41 but nothing happened. (Band are added but not supported)
I check using different rom like CM version.
It seem all failed to use different LTE band.
But after reading about qualcomm chip which has support for many band. But they are block by samsung.
So out curiosity i would like know of that can happen through kernel.
Thank you
Does this mean that I can flash ROMs that is only supported on SM-G900F and do I need root access to flash this? Thank you!

Root access is not required in the strict scene. However, you need an unlocked recovery like twrp to flash this kernel. If you are a Korean galaxy S5 user, you can also try SM-G900F ROMs (success is, however, not guranteed, plz read the op) in addition to ROMs those support Korean S5.
Thank you for clarifying things! I will try to flash this when I have time!

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?

There's no reason that it wouldn't work, but there's always that slight chance. Pretty sure you'll be fine

I have a question though.
Will it conflict with the L Speed app I'm currently using?
And to finish off my day (the start of many of yours), here is my 2nd release for y'all.
Code:
- optimized square root algorithm (3x faster)
- added BFQ io scheduler (now default)
- backported random from Linux 4.2+ (better entropy, better performance)
- utilize power efficient workqueues all over the kernel

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.
Thanks kwoktopus !

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.

Uh...probably super obvious, but do you need unlocked BL and/or root in order to flash the kernel? Ta.

For users and devs!!
All my kernels are based on cyanogenmod/lineageos source ,if someone who believes" i stoled their source" i have video captures and anyone who believes something just report me and i will have the last laugh .every tweak/mod/feature i used i edited/tweaked on my own and anyone with problem just stay away. My sources are free for anyone and can be used(i saw some ppl use them already)i don't care like other devs and i am happy and proud if someone use my work(the words" i work many hours on that project" the best repeatable words(many devs without the recognized tag and not with many thanks,they have worked for many hours/days/months and they don't cry and fight other devs )if for some devs their source are so much rare and hardworked just keep them privet(their work include their name so no problem ...we are not here for the fame ...we just want to improve the devices to make them better and not to fight with each other...
Why i am telling you all these?!
I have had many kernels unreleased from fights...i will continue to new clean projects based on lineageos and i will not care much with my source to wait many days to upload them with all the history of them because 2-3 "devs" they believe i used or edited their source...i am not a popular dev but you can't believe and no one knows how many days without sleep and hours of hardwork i have done, to do all this(and many not release source/work, much more than other devs...

Thank you very much @CrazyGamerGR :highfive:
Kernel runs good so far on H850 RR 5.8.4 unofficial with one exception:
Interactive is set as the default governor.
-> Since EAS is there for the LG G5 interactive governor is always at 100% CPU frequency and therefore less useful for most of us...
Please check this post in the Speedy Kernel thread: either EAS or hmp should be enabled in the kernel, not both as this causes these malfunctions in some governors, i.e. interactive.
Keep up your good work, really appreciate! :good:

/* Introduction */
I haven’t found any suitable kernel that supports Lineage-OS 14.1 (and likely other aosp nougat ROMs) for these variants of S5 though many custom kernels are available for many other devices with the same APQ8084 chipset (e.g.: shamu). So, I made one by simply picking a lot of good features from other existing APQ8084 kernels. All the credits go to many developers those create several kernels for this platform and eventually made my job very easy. Here I’m sharing the output of my work and hope you guys like this.
/* DISCLAIMER!! */
Code:
I am not responsible for any damage to your device. Everything you are doing on your device is on your own risk.

This kernel will NOT work in Samsung Stock and other TW ROMs.
/* How-to-Install */
1. Go to recovery (TWRP recommend)
2. Flash Kernel
3. Reboot and enjoy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this kernel compatible with ROM(s) a/b/c?
Ans: I do not know. All of my kernels are based off and tested only on Lineage-OS. However, if your ROM(s) a/b/c are based on Lineage-OS (and uses the same kernel source code), it will most probably work
Q2: Is this kernel better than stock/‘xyz’ kernel(s)?
Ans: Regarding stock, Yes, It should be better in many aspects (Otherwise it will never been published). Regarding ‘xyz’ kernels, I don’t know. I even may not used your mentioned ‘xyz’ kernels.
Q3: How about performance/SOT?
Ans: Since SOT, performance etc. are largely based on several factors such as ROM, installed apps etc. No one else can exactly predict the performance/SOT of your mobile. So, you should test and find out that by yourself.
Q4: Can you tell me the best settings for performance/SOT?
Ans:Again, that depends on several factors. I can only say my favorite settings that gives me best results in my favorite ROM.
Q5: Could you add feature x and y to your kernel?
Ans: Not sure. It depends on the feature and the capability of device. Anyway, I’m happy to check and add, if possible, any useful features (unless it is too experimental or dangerous) to my kernel. Please give your suggestions in the official xda thread.
Q6: When will you release a new version of this kernel?
Ans: New updates will arrive whenever I have something new to present in-front of you (such as I managed to add new useful features, or fix some existing issues or along with each LOS release with some changes in the kernel source code).
Q7: I found a bug, what do I do?
Ans: Please provide as much information as possible (such as what feature, what didn\'t work, screenshots or logcat if possible) and post in the xda thread.[/hide]
Please also note:
Guys... I'm pretty new to this device (and in fact to android development itself). So, it is very likely that I break some already available stuffs. If you found so, please let me know.
1. Please make sure to disable mpdecission if you decided to enable other hotplus (only one hotplug at a time).
2. Do not use any CPU hotplug while using zzmove cpufreq governor (since zzmove uses its own hot-plugging profiles).
3. Do not use Adreno_Idler and Simple_GPU algorithm together (that will likely make issues).

men, i will try your kernel today, but already thanks for not forgeting this device, have a nice day.
well, im using the last rom version, and all that i can see is that it breaks the wifi, my device is G901F
New builds...
Release status: beta-v1
Changes: CPU voltage control is updated (all the frequencies are now accessible via KernelAuditor). Some other fixes (mainly for wifi)...

Thanks for the reply and nice to know that it is working.
Btw, it could be nice if you test everything and made a detailed review. It will be useful for me to make it better as well as other users. I really like to know its status from an SM-G901F user (since I only own SM-G906S)... Thanks, anyway, for the early testing...
@sunilpaulmathew, right now im using a lg g6 so for now i will test how is the drain battery with stock kernel of RR and then with yours.
so actually wich settings i should let on in the phone for the standby test ? or wich you suggest me.
Honestly, I do not know since it is difficult for me to test the standby time due to my building and flashing habit
However, I'm presently satisfied with 1. cpugreq (nightmare), 2. cpu hotplug (intelli_plug), 3. undervolted (up to -50), 4. TCP algo (westwood) and 5. All other available features like fastcharge, sound control etc. enabled...

exactly what i tough so i do have time to try this, im waiting for phone to charge fully (now 55%), i will set 1. cpugreq (nightmare), and turn on wifi, bluetooth, gps, and in airplane mode bc i dont have sim for the phone.
well i dont have many apps installed ,so i will do every test with exactly same settings and apps
workload
Thank you for your Kernel,
The fist Look seems to be good, the CPU workload shows 3 Cores are OFF (kernel adiutor), one by 50% by default LOS with no Apps in the Background, with the settings you are posted.
Thank you for the the first costum kernel for sm-g901f on LOS 14.1.
best regards
so i did the "test" with your kernel, with the default kernel configurations, wifi, bluethoot, gps in high accuracy, full brightness, and youtube all the time with video playng, so it gives me 4 hours, wich i think is just exelent thinking its a old battery.
its a really nice work man, about the fast charge, its nice, i charged it with everithing, but unfortunately i cant say how fast its yet

Thanks for the really detailed review... As per its source code, it only increases the USB charging speed to 900mA and nothing else. Probably you can try ampere to test the charging speed. Btw, I hope more people test this kernel soon.
Testing now, thank you ! My phone g906s
i did try with ampere, im testing it in norway, and actually without any modification, and right cable i get 1.200 mA

Thank you very much friends. Was busy with my klte kernel. I'll probably push an updated version tomorrow, if everything goes as expected.
Btw, anybody tested the sound control (Kernel Auditor ---> Sound)? Is it worth?
Thanks in advance...
I have tried to use the sound option, however it crashes my device. I can make some logs later if that's helpfull.

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
Credits go to:
@Lord Boeffla @flar2 @dorimanx @Yank555
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.

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.

What is this:
After tired of looking for stable no nonsense kernel for MIUI and couldn't fine one, I've decided to compile one myself. This is just a kernel I flipped from readily publicly available source, nothing special here. It should boot with any MIUI Nougat roms.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Difference with stock MIUI kernel
Compiled using OmniRom's kernel source as base so contains all its features, fixs and patches.
Compiled using UberTC 4.9.4 for stability.
Compiled using correct optimisation flags for our MSM8953 cpu.
Patched with EAS scheduler from OnePlus3 LineageOS-based kernel with EAS
Updated Ondemand cpu governor from franciscofranco's kernel for OnePlus3, finetuned it abit and made it as default booting cpu governor.
Default to Noop disk i/o scheduler on boot.
Default to Westwood tcp congestion control on boot.
Disabled/made as built-in some modules.
Disabled some stuff like zram, cleancache, zcache.
Added support for exfat fs via exfat-nofuse.
Enabled ntfs fs support.
Init.d startup script support with correct permissions applied on every boot.
Probably some other things I forgot to list here...

Installation notes:
Need unlocked bootloader, so unlock your bootloader if you haven't yet.
Need to be on any custom recovery so flash one if you haven't yet.
Need to be on any MIUI Nougat rom.
If you have any custom kernel other than this kernel already installed, please flash or restore your MIUI rom stock kernel because this kernel would need to use the stock unmodified ramdisk and custom kernel might already modify it.
Backup, backup and backup!
Download the zip, put into either internal phone storage or sdcard, flash away.
If you want to go back to your previous kernel, just dirty flash your rom or restore boot and system from backup.

Partially. Cpu governors meant to work with eas like sched and schedutil doesn't work well with 625 because it was meant to work with dual cluster a72+a53 like 820 etc, while 625 only have a single cluster of a53, plus theres no proper powertable. Sched and schedutil just froze at lowest available freq because it can't choose proper powertable, making phone lags. I've disable both and made ondemand as default governor.
I se the OP off this thread speaking about voltage values, is this what o are referring as power table?

Similar. All cpu already got predefined voltage table in the kernel source for the usual hmp scheduler, usually modified for oc/uv. Eas need its own, new voltage table specifically written for it, for every specific cpu too.
tks for the nice kernel, I only have one request if possible, I'm more a guy of battery saving because i spent long times with no access to recharge the phone, its the implementation of alucard
add please function: fix ttl.
this is very important for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus ... and others.
this is necessary to bypass the blocking of cellular operators.
this is in the same kernel as: [KERNEL][MIDO] Stormguard 01/01/18, [KERNEL][MIDO][VOLTE++] Chewy kernel r8.1 [22/12].
Please

If you mean alucard cpu governor, then I've already tried to add it lol. Doesn't work, endless reboot. In fact all interactive based cpu gov like impulse, alucard, blu_actice, zzmoove won't work here. Hence why I've disabled even the interactive cpu gov.
