Note:
This kernel only support selected and tested ROMs. This kernel is also an img type, it replace your stock img and you may loose systemless root. Flashing this may replace your sdcard in system so if you want to use stock or any other custom kernel, you require to flash this Revert Sdcard to avoid system crash. Futhermore, Xenial kernel ramdisk has move forward with the latest version thus it will not work on older ROMs but I've made a patch to work on older ROMs just by flashing Sim Patch after you flash the kernel.

Edit: flashed on RRN CHN @vidwhal 5.8.5 latest build, flash went without issues, boot to home screen also no issues to report.
I'll be testing further for battery life and other stuff.
Big thanks to @Jairus980
finally...
EDIT: After using it for couple of hours the random reboots begin...does anyone know any fix or workaround?? im using RRN 5.8.5 by Vidwhal btw.
EDIT v2: tried to install thermal.zip.. no more random reboots for now...
Hello @Jairus980, it did not take long to release b26 after all.
Test build of last week is running so well. I believe this b26 will be my new daily driver.
Will install it later today, have some errands to run now.
I have a feeling this kernel will have the best battery drain ever. :good:
Thank you!
Works perfectly (N9005, RRN, GSM variant). Bluetooth issue gone with b26.

msm thermal.zip
if you have thermal problem. flash this msm thermal script
Edit: smaller script size (save data!!!)
Edit2: fix error in typo
revert sdcard.zip
latest built19 uses latest samsung sdcardfs (tw6.0 compatible). so I added the sdcard bin file. certain custom kernel will have mount failing so this revert sdcard.zip will fix it.

There is a small issue in b26.
Gravity, Linear Acceleration and Orientation sensors are dead.
They were working in last week SIM test build.

I always enable IntelliThermal when using Xenial. If you do not do it you may have reboots.
Maybe that is what this thermal.zip will do.
Anyway my solution is simple, use KA Mod to change thermal settings and Stress Test to check if it is ok.

I checked PhDoctor, but it will not test these specific sensors: Gravity, Linear Acceleration and Orientation.
I tried 3 other different sensor test apps and they all show these sensors as dead.
@Jairus980, did you rebase the kernel for b26? These sensors were working well in the private test build you forwarded to me last week.

No. I use official ramdisk from LineageOS.
Which test that works? If I'm free, I will try to make another test and see.

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

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.

Will not let me change the minimum frequency of the CPU whenever I lay below 787 MHz to 5 minutes switches to the same, Tube to disable the "MPDecision" so that the frequency is not changed (sorry my english im use google traductor)

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.
NxKernel
r4
Yeah, jet another kernel for the falcon!
Why? You might ask and you are right.
I have been experimenting with kernel features, fixes and (alleged) improvements and always tried to create a kernel which I would be happy to use every day on my device. You know the usual stuff: long lasting battery with lag-free performance... It's not easy at all I have to tell. I am not a developer but know my way around Git and programming and researched a lot of sources on the internet looking for kernel stuff. Some patches offer improvements in speed and response time etc, but in reality, many of them do more harm than good when it comes to real-life praxis. In the end, I had a great collection of fixes and patches which I tried (nearly) one-by-one examining the gains and losses of 'em.
All the credits go to the developers of the features - and a little of it to me for putting them together and bringing them to the Moto G.

I suggest Kernel Adiutor to edit the kernel settings. See attached screenshots for the details. The settings that cannot be seen on the pictures are untouched.
I've attached the two json files to import for the two custom controls in Kernel Adiutor, bluedroid_wakelock and USB_fast_charge. To be able to import directly just change the extensions to json.
*For CM13 only! Causes bootloop on CM14 for now.*
Also attached the frandom enabler script (20frandom) that is to be placed in system/etc/init.d wit the permission 0755. Make sure you remove the txt extension first!
Sorry for the extension messing, xda does not allow to upload json files or files without extension... I might move the files to my file host soon.
CPU governor tunables
*to be updated for CM14*
Optimized governor tunables based on soniCron's superb guide. It works with interactive and intelliactive as well and scales fine with overclocking enabled and disabled too.
Basically, it uses 4 optimal frequencies: 300MHz, 998MHz, 1190MHz and 1593MHz if OC enabled. It prevents the CPU jumping a lot between frequencies that do not provide enough performance for a given task. I managed to get 4-5 hours of screen on time with these settings.
Tunables are as following:
Code:
above_hispeed_delay: 20000 998400:60000
boost: 0
boostpulse_duration: 80000
go_hispeed_load: 75

I did apply some of the settings from the pictures. I chose different scheduler and network TCP algorithm.
I do not have the paid version of Kernel Adiuitor, so I was not able to use the .json files.

Use a mod, kernel adiutor is open source
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

Hi! Amazing work! Thx for the job.
Can I use this kernel with AOKP? AOKP has android 7.1.2

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.

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

Issues
U tell me (got no issues with it, pretty stable)
Support
I only support Custom ROMs... It is working on MIUI but I won't fix issues for MIUI! (As example Kernelversion shows unavailable)
Also it's confirmed to work too on Mi6x (Wayne) but i won't support it officially because i don't own this device!
FlashingMake sure u backup ur current Kernel before flashing! I'm not taking responsibility for any damage!
If you installed a custom Kernel before please flash the boot.img of the currently installed ROM or dirty flash the ROM (I prefer dirty flashing)
Then just flash the zip file through TWRP...
And have fun with the full "IceCold Experience"

W8 xd
How could u test? Anykernel will not install on wayne, it will cancel...
I didn't made the installer script compatible with wayne yet
Edit: Uploaded a stable version with some patches i've got working, should be smooth.
Also added wayne in the installer script so wayne users can flash it!
Keep in mind I don't officially support it
Good that you decided to start your own topic!

As I mentioned I don't support this device. Try wiping cache and dalvik.
Reboot again won't fix?
Normal audio working?
BT-Audio working?
Otherwise I can't help u because i only have whyred and not wayne.

I think it won't help but it's worth a try i think, else u have to switch kernel (eventually I will find a fix for it later)

thx for your work, there is no way to apply some configs on cpu section - kernel auditor?
EDIT: Nevermind, I was trying to change the settings on the schedutil governor.
Keep the good work, thx!

MIUI - WIP, read before posting.
flashed the kernel on HAVOC 2.2 622019 build
booted and working so far so good!
will check
1. sound mods in mixerpath over this kernel since there is NO SOUND CONTROL in Kernel Auditor
2. battery performance
3. whatsapp and voice call random reboots (found in oreo )
Anyone try it on pixel experience rom?

if it works, but I just built an unofficial build with the latest jhenrique changes, in addition to adding the pre-installed kernel, also has the Thermal Hal of Miui on the device tree, which has much better temperature control, if you want I can share the link
Good kernel thx

R3 works.. boots at least.. nice work.. will test and report.. btw i flashed my stock boot img before flashing the kernel from insignuix.. not that itll help but tried to keep all ends under control. Can u tell me how to enable power efficient wq?

Enable it with Kernel Adiutor on CPU tab, search for "Schedule workqueues on awake CPUs........"
Nice battery and lightning fast. This and insigniux are my favourite kernels.
One of best kernels
Simple,smooth,battery good,no otg bug which was on derp.
Me testing as you know in btlg and prolly will release update with your Kernel :laugh:

Working? What about betery backup???
Ok just an early single day review..
Good battery life
Snappy
Sound is a bit low but that could be me.
No crashes as yet.
This kernel is seriously underrated, great performance and battery life, no stability issues I found yet
