This project is now maintained by @wilmsn. The new thread can be found here.
/* 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.
I only own lentislteskt (Korean variant). Hence, kernels under the category 'lentislte' are only tested by myself.

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).

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.

pretty and nice
Running almost perfect in CM12
Waiting for OC I know you can do it,I use run the shaky156 OC 2.499 kernel for almost 1 months with no problems and I switched to CM12
Thanks and keep the nice work

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

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

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

Hi all,
this is the thread about the CM version of the well-known Boeffla-Kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 lte.
Note: This kernel is only for CM based roms!!! Do not install it on a Samsung based rom!!!
For Omnirom, please do not use the CM kernel but the separate Omnirom kernel I also provide.
If you have questions to settings, presets, others configuration and wanna share your configuration, head over to the unofficial Boeffla-Config App Config sharing thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621308
Support
First read about "Known Issues" in 2nd post!
FirstSecondly read the FAQ section on the Homepage !!!
Click here to learn about all possible kernel settings in the config app.
Click here to learn about using the config app.
I will refuse any support if you do any undervolting and experience freezes or hot reboots.
I will refuse to give support if you have xposed framework installed and reporting any kind of weird issues. My opinion to xposed it quite clear: too powerful for >90% of the users that just mess up their system with it. Test w/o Xposed first, if issue still occurs then report here. If issue doesn't occur anymore, also report here so I can list under "Xposed known issues"
Lastly, if you are using one of the latest versions with anykernel, please read this before proceeding
Lord Boeffla said:
Hi all,
it is time for the first CM13 kernel with the new anykernel concept.
Before you start, make sure you have read and understood the following:
http://boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/7...new-anykernels
If you ask questions which are addressed in this article, or you have issues which are a consequence of not reading the article, I will not answer. It is your responsibility to understand what you do BEFORE you do it.
(and also read this for more background: http://boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/6...ernels-new-app)
Side note:
Although the kernel is now likely to be much more compatible with custom roms using CM basis, I will not change my support conditions at all. If you report an issue on a non-original CM rom, do not expect me to react (http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support)
Ensure you update to latest Boeffla-Config App 2.3.1 BEFORE you flash the new kernel !!!
Enough threatening now, here we go:
Version 5.1-beta1
12.07.2016
Note: This is the first Boeffla-Kernel with the new anykernel concept.
Make sure you read and understand the basics: Boeffla-Anykernel Know-How and New concept kernels/New app
Note: You have to use Boeffla-Config version 2.3.1 or newer in order to use all functionality !!
This kernel as exactly the same functionalities as the last stable kernel release

History
Basically I created the Samsung version of Boeffla-Kernel as there was no kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 around that had exactly the mix of functionalities that I wanted. I wanted to have full flexibility in undervolting and charge rates for instance, but did not like the sharpness and/or brightness tweaks many kernels have implemented as per default.
Hence, I began to create my own kernel after a while, adding all the features I like. This is the result of my work, which in the end I decided to share with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end.
And - most important: It aims to stay quite close to stock !!! Which in fact for the CM kernel means now... close to CM kernel sources.
This said, I will definitely NEVER implement:
dual boot (I do not need it)
color "calibration"
real hard overclocking higher than 1600 MHz as this is outside of Exynos specs
f2fs - it is known to cause various issues and compatibility problems
a CAF based kernel
[*] anykernel method to use the ramdisk of the installed rom
anything that requires upstreaming of kernel parts to a higher kernel major version
Any TC other than google's
So do not even ask for it. Everything else I am happy to check and decide.
Compatibility
To reiterate it again: This kernel is only for CM13 based ROMs. It is not designed to run on Samsung based roms! AOSP based is not tested, though it should work.
Configuration of the kernel
To tweak and configure the kernel, manually load and install the app "Boeffla-Config V2" from the downloads section on www.boeffla.de.

Credits to developers
Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:
* Lord Boeffla (For providing kernel in the first place )
* Yank555
* ZaneZam
* Hardcore
* Chainfire
* Harunjo
* AndreiLux
* Netarchy
* Gokhanmoral
* Simone201
* Supercurio
* Mialwe

* Faux
... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.
Thanks to all of you for your great work !!!

*** As always - Flash on our own risk! ***
Make sure you flash the correct version depending on your firmware version!
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.
It is generally recommended to run a complete Nandroid backup in TWRP recovery and safely store your personal data before you flash a new kernel.
Cheers and enjoy

Known Issues
Known Issues NOT involving Xposed
1. SuperSU and Superuser other than Stock DOES NOT WORK on Temasek ROM and possibly all other CM13 ROMs
2. F2FS WILL NOT WORK, AND WILL NOT EVER WORK, AS DESCRIBED IN OP
Known Issues involving Xposed
None I have experienced thus far.
To-Do List
1. Fix SuperSU because I really love it.
2. Archi Optimisations Test Doesn't work
3. Make file names correspond to "beta" tag
1. Attempt bug fixing Archi Opti Test
1. Test on AOSP ROMs
2. Dragon TC??
Installation
Dirty flash works fine, just remember to clear cache.
If you are coming from another kernel e.g. agni kernel, you must wipe /system (not just flash ROM zip for the updater script) and flash everything accordingly.
If you need specifics on what to do first, follow ROM installation instructions and right after you flash ROM zip just flash boeffla ZIP
If you still don't understand you should not be here and should be reading up on what flashing zip is...
Credits & a History Lesson
Credits other than those listed in OP:
1. @Lord Boeffla for allowing me to port, and post this thread.
2. @ZaneZam for guidance
3. @aaz03 YES I DID IT
I take absolutely no credit, all work was done by @aaz03 and all I did was follow his instructions and pester @ZaneZam a bit, and I got a flashable zip that works.
A very, very unimportant history lesson
So, I was looking at github.com/n0aaz and I saw he was trying to port boeffla. I PM'ed aaz, and he told me his laptop broke so he couldn't continue. He then asked me to help him continue and that he was very close to completion. However he rarely responds to PM, so I contacted @ZaneZam to ask for more guidance. He was very helpful and kind of guided me through how I should use the build script/edit the build script, and how to manage the boot.img
Well, @aaz03 you were very very close to completion indeed, you just had to take a new boot.img from CM. Uber toolchain was probably another factor.
Boeffla 5.0beta34 will be built this weekend or when I have time.
I will not be providing new Boeffla Builds where the changes do not concern i9305 (eg, just source updates for other devices) I will only be providing when there are universal updates.
Feel free to post bug reports here instead of the bug reports tab (I don't even recall if I enabled that tab)
If you want screenies tell me, I got stuff to do for now
Can someone help test with other ROMs and especially AOSP ROMs?

Credits other than those listed in OP:
1. @Lord Boeffla for allowing me to port, and post this thread.
2. @ZaneZam for guidance
3. @aaz03 YES I DID IT
I take absolutely no credit, all work was done by @aaz03 and all I did was follow his instructions and pester @ZaneZam a bit, and I got a flashable zip that works.
A very, very unimportant history lesson
So, I was looking at github.com/n0aaz and I saw he was trying to port boeffla. I PM'ed aaz, and he told me his laptop broke so he couldn't continue. He then asked me to help him continue and that he was very close to completion. However he rarely responds to PM, so I contacted @ZaneZam to ask for more guidance. He was very helpful and kind of guided me through how I should use the build script/edit the build script, and how to manage the boot.img
Well, @aaz03 you were very very close to completion indeed, you just had to take a new boot.img from CM. Uber toolchain was probably another factor.

Heh, very good job i couldn't be very active on xda because of all my exams. Even though i don't have a 9305 anymore i'm glad that you managed to fix issues i had to face . Good continuation

Your advertising worked fine
I didn't know you've just started a Boeffla thread! Well done! Thanks for your work.
My answer to "what is the behavior of button backlight in boeffla?" is: I don't know, I didn't test.

Had time after dinner, here's beta34: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242686106
Accessible via folder link in 1st post too. Now I bother to change zip names so it will be beta34 instead of alpha1 haha...
Anyways, as I was playing around trying to find a fix for supersu, I made backups and flashed while taking a log. Well, after I booted to system and prepared adb for a log, it booted, and surprisingly no bootloops! And it's a wierd solution that I found: Don't charge phone while booting. I attempted this 2 times, and the 2nd time it worked because I was not charging phone. Wierd? I know right...!
Great to see that development is still strong after all those years. Congrats on getting it all done and thanks to all your work you did the last few weeks/months.
Whats your problem whit f2fs?
The original boeffa support it.
Its really good future and really improve the performance.
F2FS has noting todo with the mentioned optimizations. Both can survive next to each other .

Which kernel or sound app are you using or recommend to configure the beoffla sound settings? Can you link it?
Its already linked in op, sorry.
Running this on CM13 (pan's build, set to Muppett's RIL).
All seems to be working OK so far.
I'm using the Boeffla Control App V2 linked to in the OP. This has Boeffla sound settings in it, all seems to be working fine.
Now I just have to wait and see if the network issues I get when I use AGNi kernel on CM13 (but not CM own kernel) stay away.
Sorry haven't seen it in op. I am a newbie and didn't read the op proper .
Small issue - I set the charging current to 1500mA and turned on ignore unstable charging etc.
When I do this on AGNi, the 'Galaxy Charging Current' app says 1500 for 'reference', 'maximum' and 'average'.
On Boeffla it says 1500 for 'reference' but only 1000 for the other two numbers.
I had a bootloop when try boefla kernel with cyanide latest version.
So I try it with temasek and everything's working fine here, will test to see if the ril problem is fixed. Good work ! Thanks for bringing back this awesome kernel.

Try using ampere or just the built in on the 1st page of boeffla config app, it'll correspond.
Also, now you can set charging current to 1600

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 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!

Changelog
V1.1: Initial version for public release!
V1.2: KCAL support
V1.3: Changed boot CPUs to higher power ones, added dynamic Fsync, added Quick Wakeup driver
V1.4: Gentle Fair Sleepers can be toggled now, ROW scheduler tweaked

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.

Doesn't need to add or anything, its already in the kernel and enabled, i think...
I don't have any idea how it work or if it even work though, so do try and let me know how it goes.

Lol your virus scanner might have detected the zip itself or the script within as a virus, its not. Gdrive where I've uploaded it should already scanned it before you even download.
Don't use that pos virus scanner, change to other virus scanner or better yet, use linux ?

Already wrote all the differences on the first post. Can't really say whats good amd whats not due difference usage and needs, but do try and see for yourself. Backup before install, restore if you're not happy ?
