Hiya fellas.
This is a sister project to my original (and ridiculously outdated) kernel for stock ROMs only. The version in this thread is the one designed to work with anything that isn't the stock firmware, i.e., AOSP, AospExtended, LineageOS, Resurrection Remix,... You name it. Even MIUI, which can be a b**** to get custom kernels supported on.
Features:
Sources & Optimizations
- Based on Lineage's shared falcon/peregrine/titan/thea sources
- Compiled with Linaro 4.9
- Optimized ARM RWSEM & Square Root algorithms
- Kernel-side NEON mode
- Some miscellaneous armv7 tweaks

Flashing & Tweaking Instructions (Follow this very carefully!!!):
- Place the zip at the root of your phone's internal storage
- Reboot into recovery
- Flash the zip
(Another way: Reboot into recovery without copying the zip, and flash it via adb sideload)
- Reboot again and have fun!
Coming from another kernel which isn't mine? Don't worry, no need to dirty flash the ROM/kernel anymore. The install script now does all the dirty work for you.
If you wanna "tweak ALL the things", use Kernel Adiutor! (Synapse is NOT supported!)

F.A.Q. (Read this before crying!!!!)
Q: Why did you develop this kernel?
A: Because I wanted to
Q: ERMAHGERD DIS KERNEL SUCKZ, MAH BATTERY IS DEAD IN 30 MINS, PLZ HALP!
A: When I created this kernel, I never had the intention to have it decrease battery life. So before / instead of complaining, go check your f***ing wakelocks and fix them! The kernel isn't responsible for this, your apps and/or services are.
Q: Will this kernel work on AOSP/CM12.1/CM13 ROMs?
A: Works on any ROM as long as it isn't stock . So yes, it does. AOSP, CM LineageOS, RR... Any of these.
Q: How do I report bugs?
A: If you wanna report a bug, then grab your kernel log - either by pulling /proc/last_kmsg (in case of a random reboot / kernel panic or oops) or copying the output of "dmesg" via shell - and paste it at pastie.org and link it in your post (or save it to a text file and attach it to your post). Don't bother getting logcats, they don't apply for kernel debugging purposes.
Q: How do I flash this?
A: I suggest you scroll up and read the OP. The instructions are there.
Q: How do I tweak this kernel?
A: Download Kernel Adiutor from the Play Store and have fun. No Synapse support!
Q: This kid is such a n00b!
A: Oh well then, why don't you go work on a kernel yourself, instead of criticizing my work and, by doing so, wasting your time?

Okay... Last reserved.

Our first test build is up! Link is at the OP.
It's still a very early test build and it may (and probably does) contain issues (serious or not). You've been warned.

This build should fix PowerHAL not being disabled.

Great work. Zero bugs in the short time since flashing. Thanks.

Didn't have that problem here. My phone's minimum frequency stays at 300MHz all the time. Try another governor. And don't disable mpdecision

No. Interactive has been left untouched.

If you come from Hurtsky's Hybrid Kernel or Flashhhh's Optimus Kernel, don't forget to re-enable MPDecision - just rename /system/bin/mpdecisionbak to /system/bin/mpdecision.

Try and several governors and feel the same, the only solution is to disable "MPdecision"
EDIT: The problem is when you lock the phone, no matter how infrequently the minimum of changes to 787mhz cpu and if I turn off the mpdecision not happen

I actually was having a similar problem to this not long ago but not this particular kernel.
Just fooling around I found that if I flashed any kernel after rebooting system I would have the problem you described, however if I flashed the ROM, Gapps, and kernel in recovery all together before initial boot everything works as it should.
Not sure why this is but I have experimented and it is the only solution I have found so far.

gpl | abyss kernel 2.00 | B170/B180/NCS/fRomFuture

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?

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)

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.

[Kernel] Project T Kernel for ZTE Axon 7 Mini

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.

Stock u should know, sources from Huawei/Google.
UBER + Linaro are modified toolchains to give the kernel a better touch in working state on the phone. Im aware, that there are newer versions up to GCC8.x, but not working on EMUI8 yet.

I've just installed the kernel (UBER) on my P9 running OpenKirin Lineage OS. Everything seems to be good so far. I was wondering if you had done any benchmarks regarding stock kernel battery life vs ECO kernel battery life? Also, can enabling fast charging damage the battery?

I didnt tested any benchmarks. It depends mostly on Governor.
Fast Charging should work, but never used.

I tried the fast charging, and I *think* it charged faster, but maybe I imagined it ?. I'll know for sure the next time I do a full charge. Do you have an idea for what additional features you want to put into the next update?

What about deep sleep on OK ROMs? Does it work properly with this kernel?

Is there any way you could add a feature to change the vibration intensity? It's very low on Lineage OS, almost can't feel it.

Mostly encountered issues are by Google Play Services. On Stock Deepsleep has no issues. On OK ROMs i didnt tested it yet.

We had some talk about that, but dont know how it ended, think it didnt what we wanted to.

Everything good so far, i did antutu test ~145k.

Is it ok also for EVA-AL10c00b535 (or only for b528)?

It needs a small edit for newer patch.

My friend @dkionline!!!
Could this kernel for DL00 8.0.0.535 be permissive?
Thanks in advance!!
Rergards!!

im interested in this but im new to kernel stuff. im currently in rros for p9. what are the disadvatages if i install this? can i still normally update my rros rom if i install this?

Generally, this is Kernel while Open Kirin ROMs flash System partition

so there are no issues on rom updates even with a modified kernel?
can i restore the old kernel if ever this turns out weird for me?

I don't know if they are compatible, just saying they are independent
Why not, you can always flash stock kernel back

[kernel][discovery][pie] AKLU kernel [50.1 firmware based]

Praise God! The AKLU kernel is in progress!
WARNING: This is for phones that are still using the 50.1 firmware base! Not for phones that have upgraded to the 50.2 firmware!
Hey guys! I finally got far enough along with a kernel mod to release it here. There are still more features to be implemented, and I hope to work on it more in the coming weeks.
Currently supported ROMs: MAY work with others, but not supported by me.
- Resurrection Remix (Pie)
WARNING: I fully test this on my phone, and it seems perfectly stable to me, but I cannot be held responsible for whatever happens to your phone. Flash at your own risk.... Please make a backup in TWRP of your boot partition before you flash this.
Features:
- Added Governors: Darkness, Nightmare, Preservative
- Added I/O schedulers: FIFO
- Added Kcal color control
In progress features:
- Wake gestures (DT2W, S2W) - These are implemented, and show up in Kernel Adiutor, but do not work presently. WIP.
- Fauxsound - These show up in /sys/kernel/sound_control, but the app to control them does not work on Android 9. Still testing, WIP.
On the bucket list (TODO) :
- Voltage control for over/under volting
- GPU overclock option
- CPU overclock option
Installation instructions:
- Copy this kernel image to your sdcard
- Reboot into bootloader
- fastboot flash ./<latest_twrp>
- In TWRP, perform a backup of the BOOT partition
- Choose install -> install image -> select this kernel image -> swipe to flash it
- If you want to be rooted (highly recommended for this kernel), you will now need to flash magisk or su, etc.
- Reboot to system and enjoy!

Kernel notes....
Just a few notes about the kernel features.
- Kcal color control.
Please see the attached pictures of Kcal in action! This does not affect screen shots. Screen shots from the phone will look normal, but this changes the way the colors display on the physical screen. Pretty cool and allows you to tinker with what many call "true black", and you can adjust your colors as needed. Kernel Adiutor supports controlling this feature if it is present in your kernel. You can also go black and white with the gray scale mode.
Governors:
- Darkness
It's based on nightmare but more simple and fast, basic configs but very complex structure. It is an updated version of the nightmare gov, so far it is quite stable in tests
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Nightmare
A PegasusQ modified, less aggressive and more stable. A good compromise between performance and battery. In addition to the SoD is a prevention because it usually does not hotplug.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Preservative
This is based on the idea that the CPU will consume a lot of power when it changes frequency. It is based on the conservative governor. The idea is that it will stay at the step specified (702MHz selected by the creator Bedalus) unless needed. You will notice it will hover around 702 a lot, and not go above too much, and only to min freq when NOTHING is happening at all. This is most beneficial when you are doing something like reading; the screen is static or playing light games that won't need boosting any more

I/O scheduler:
-FIFO
First in First Out Scheduler. As the name says, it implements a simple priority method based on processing the requests as they come in.

Great question! I actually just posted in the RR thread how I was able to build Android 9.0 and flash it sucessfully on my 50.2 firmware XA2 Ultra. It is kernel version 4.9, and this 50.1 kernel is only 4.4, so I'll be working on that. You can head over to this post for more details and teaser shots.....

Interesting.... Right now I am messing around with the XOSD 4.14 kernel for our phone, and the outcome of that may change which direction I go with this.
