Proto Kernel
Huawei Honor 9, P10 and P10+​
This kernel is aimed for optimal relation between Performance and Battery on the Honor 9 and the P10 family.
It's built with Function and Optimization in mind, no mile-long list of Features and unnecessary Bloat.
P10/P10+ users should download appropriate version.
Users with CN versions (AL-00's, TL-00's, C636 Region and alike) must also download appropriate version (CN) or it will cause a major bootloop.
As of August 23rd, following recent Huawei decisions and intentional provocation of issues with custom firmware, EMUI 8 is only Officially supported up to B369. It will work with more recent versions up to September Patch but WE WON'T TAKE ANY BUG REPORTS FROM THEM.
OpenKirin 8.1 Roms and HavocOS-hi3660 are Officially supported, Compatible with other Treble 8.1 and 9.0 Projects BUT WE ADVISE STRONGLY TO BASE YOUR TREBLE ROMS ON B368 OR B369 AT THE MOST.
DISCLAIMER
I'm not responsible for bricked devices and nuked SD Cards or the inability of reading instructions. Unlocking bootloader, flashing kernels and such, voids your warranty. If you have any doubts or don't know what you're doing, SEARCH, READ and then ASK. And i can't and therefore won't respond to issues without logs.

"What is Spectrum and ProtoSSC?"
Spectrum, to put it simply, it's a quick and easy way of changing between Kernel settings oriented for 4 different scenarios, using pre-programmed profiles. More info? Check out the XDA link:
Spectrum App XDA Thread
Huge thanks to @frap129 for this work (and for Maple I/O too by the way)
ProtoSSC is a set of intructions that will give you full power over your system, completely eliminating Huawei's Management and Override Framework, replacing it with Spectrum-based Management, without having to mess around with files on internal storage.
Profiles are now built-in and are persistent after reboots (read notes)
ProtoSSC Instructions
First download the SSC flashable zip for your device file from the link above and place it on external SD card
Go to <root>/vendor/etc and delete the "perfgenius_boost_policy" and "perfgenius_config" XML files.
Go to <root>/vendor/bin/hw and rename (do not delete) "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" (just add ".bak" in the end)
Go to <root>product/etc/xml and delete the "uniperf_config_cust" XML file.
Go back to <root>/vendor and open the build.prop, find the lines "ro.config.hw_perfgenius" and "persist.sys.iaware.cpuenable" and change them from 'true' to 'false'.
If you were already using Spectrum, on your Internal Storage, delete the Spectrum folder, along with the profiles. Leave the Spectrum app installed.
Reboot to TWRP and flash the SSC file and reboot. (If you do not have Spectrum app installed, install it - Play Store link is above). Just give root permissions to the app and set whatever profile you want to use.
Every SSC Profile is now EAS based and separated by device family and was designed and tested for each purpose.
Every single profile has also some degree of underclocking, according to its design and purpose.
Therefore, we don't want to hear any noobs ranting about Antutu points.​
Balance - Designed for normal everyday use. Best balance between performance and SOT.
Performance - Designed for more demanding use, heavy multi-tasking and heavy Camera usage.
Battery - Designed for the best Battery life while maintaining minimal settings to avoid lags. GPU and Big cluster capped to minimum frequencies.
Gaming - Specifically designed and tested for sustained performance with heavy 3D gaming.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
After a lot of headaches and trying to figure all this Huawei system out, with the precious help of people at fRom Future Roms TG Group, and of course the ProtoKernel Testing Team, we finally made the profiles 100% persistent, and CPU/GPU freqs will no longer be overriden by the system.
There is only one logic exception to this, and that is of course, the Thermal Engine. Suffice to say, we will never mess with this.
These devices are not gaming consoles, i've heard the complaints, and i adjusted Boost settings on Gaming profile to be less agressive and underclocked the Little Cluster as well. With highly demanding games it will heat anyway, but should be better now. I take no complaints regarding PUBG or hour-long gaming sessions.
What is the Proto init.d Script and how do i use it?
- The Proto init.d Script tweaks the TCP buffers to optimize Mobile Data performance and enables the USB Fast Charging by default.
The script is best used with Magisk and you have to place it under <root>/magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d or <root>/sbin/.core/img/.core/post-fs-data.d depending on Magisk version.
Download is attached to this post as a zip file.
There's a Proto EMUI8 Theme? Where do i get it?
Right this way! --> Download Proto Kernel EMUI 8 Theme
Put it on Themes folder on Internal Storage and it will show up on your Themes app.
"My device started to lag a bit, what's happening?"
- If this occasionally happens, you really should know that rebooting your device every other day is a good thing. Swap and ZRam are dead for good and i'm not bringing them back.
Enjoy!

YES! a custom kernel, will take a look at this with AOSP oreo.
You say it under volts the CPU, is it possible to allow CPU OC'ing, since the A73 cores can hit 2.6GHz according to ARM, but we get stuck with 2.4GHz?

The frequency is there on the kernel CPU files but it's not being considered, and plus, the max frequency is locked by Huawei on a hardware config file on vendor partition that sets all kinds of parameters. So far, fortunately, we managed to get around the override on that file that forced "interactive" to be default governor, no matter what was set on kernel, or else, EAS with its Gov as default wouldn't be possible.
But tampering with the file itself is not an option at this point in time.

Time will tell. Huawei's manner of doing things is a bit tricky. They set one thing on the kernel but then override it on the rom, or on Vendor (because of Treble compatibility)
I'm still pissed at them for switching to 64bit audio drivers exclusively, which nukes the ability to use currently available audio mods.

so , hang on, on the AOSP rom, i am able to change the CPU governor, and it DOES have an effect (bench on interactive gave ~180000 antutu v7, on performance gave ~200000) so, is it a setting in vendor, if its in the ROM itself, then a custom ROM might allow modifications from the kernel to take an effect, though the ROM may have to exclusively support the feature.

You misunderstood me. You can change the governor after boot with any kernel management app, that's not the question. (I use KA for example)
But if you do not use one of those apps, the governor by default is interactive, even if you go into the kernel code and change it to something else. (that's why we had to find a way to override that)
Also, that vendor file sets Performance as governor during boot, and sets different governors also when the device is charging.

oh, ok, yes, that makes sense

Use su.d or service.d for change govs or sched like you wish with time wait until process found.
I use this way for my mod .
My H9 have no values stock , cpu at Lmk and no kernel app

That's not a user-friendly solution. It's not even a solution in itself when it comes to developing...
If I want my kernel to be set a certain way, I have the obligation to make it so, without telling users to follow extra steps... Furthermore, no user should be forced to root in order to have a kernel work as it is intended. This is flash-and-forget, no extra steps needed.
If a certain user doesn't want to use it as-is, then of course, they can install a kernel app or use your method to set things their way, but that's out of my control or responsibility.

Thank you!
In the meantime i've been looking through some files and there are things that may be possible to improve but require root access and "manual labor" since TWRP still can't flash stuff on certain partitions.
If i can validate them with my testing, they may end up as some form of "Optional Root-Only Additional Optimizations" but the goal should be to provide something that performs without extra work.
Anyway, any and all feedback is appreciated, this device has great potential.

Nice work bro.. Will definitely give it a try.. :good:

What do you mean " TWRP still can't flash stuff on certain partitions " ??
Twrp flash well .
If you want some support for the optionnal root add.
Yes great potential , sadly Huawei does not do like the others.

Last time I checked, it still couldn't mount system... But thanks for the suggestion, this is still a work in progress, Huawei's methods are a bit mind bending and we're still figuring out what works and what doesn't. But there's still much room for improvement, I'm sure.

Of course , for sure . Stille much.
About mount system , i can help.
My mod that I develop on G+ need to mount system and mount root img too and works perfectly.
Works on most Huawei devices , H9 , P9 , P10...
Twrp Oreo manage successfully this step.
New Magisk use another way to mount because .img is in /data/adb/**.

@JBolho your kernel is working on my P10 (VTR-L29c432 Oreo b365), it's pretty fast I'm impressed with it, great work!
Update: Wifi and Bluetooth not working.

Working great on latest 362 ROM with KangVIP341. Safetynet passed, setenforce supported. But I still can not make VIPER4ANDROIDFX work in any way. Also nandroid backup is impossible from latest TWRP 3.2.1-0 v3. Error 255.

This kernel work on honor 8 pro.

[Kernel]G2x-CM7[2.6.32.60] (054-stable)OC~1.55GHz/UV/SLQB/BFQ/ZRAM/Voodoo [Oct-9]

Here's a kernel build based on CM7 Kernel Source Tree
Special Shout out to DebauchedSloth for his pull requests and collaboration on this open source project
Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is of course covered under GPL version 2. Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. I have donated a large sum of my free time to hack this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in its entirety, I kindly ask you to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source. Thank you
What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.
​
THIS KERNEL is BASED ON CM7 Source Code. So it is COMPATIBLE ONLY WITH CM7 Builds.
Please DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).
ZRAM (aka CompCache aka RAMZSwap)
ZRAM is an updated version formally known as CompCache and RAMZSwap. It was originally designed for 2.6.38.xx kernels, I have backported to our 2.6.35.xx kernel. ZRAM allows real-time compression of memory objects in RAM thus reducing memory pressure for the Linux kernel and can keep more apps in memory longer (more apps in RAM == better performance, less fetching from slower MMC or SDCard). Compression, however, is not Free. Some CPU cycles are required to do the compress/decompression, so there's a slight penalty for it. The original CompCache / RAMZSwap required a user space binary to control its behavior which adds additional penalty to performance, but the new version ZRAM eliminated the need for a separate dedicated daemon, thus reducing the overhead and increased performance from the old CompCache by 20%. Therefore, with the newer implementation of ZRAM interface, the performance penalty is almost negligible.
Joe's RCU (Optimized for Small SMP systems)
Joe Korty has created an RCU for small SMP systems (> 32 cores). His approach is to isolate all the Garbage Collection (GC, a slow time consuming but necessary processing) to a single core, thus allowing other cores to ONLY work on real required processing. This will allow the additional cores to complete their assigned tasks as fast as possible (not bogged down by GC) then immediately go back to a suspended state (saving battery).
Fast No Hz RCU (Optimized for SMP operations)
Fast NoHz is an optimized version of the traditional Tree RCU. Many new kernels are using the Tickless NoHz design. This RCU is tailored and designed to work with the new NoHz kernel system.
Brain F*ck Scheduler - (BFS)
This scheduler is designed to be simple and speedy tailor specifically for user interface type systems such as desktop/smart phone devices where user interaction is MORE important than serving 1 million web requests (CFS, the default scheduler) at the same time (think of nimble desktop workstations vs large corporate servers).
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate). Not all kernels are using SLQB including CM7 main line...
Fair Budget Queue (BFQ I/O scheduler)
This I/O scheduler is an improvement on top of Completely Fair Queue (CFQ). CFQ is fair in terms of time but not in terms of throughput / bandwidth, so BFQ make sure that both time and throughput / bandwidth are balanced across all requests.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE WILLING to FLASH THIS ON HIS/HER OWN PHONE... IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS YOU SHOULD NOT FLASH THIS.
For those who decide to flash, please post the results and/or issues here

When you say you've added min/max governer not sure what you mean. I'm under the impression that Tegra only uses Performance. When I go into governer setting in pimpmycpu there is no option to change it.
Note: It boots fine with cm7 and BT/wifi work fine. Now to test OC/UV

I don't see why tegra only supports performance... I could be wrong... Governor should be independent of CPU architecture underneath.... Could be a limitation of pimpmycpu...
BTW, Did you try it yet? Did it boot? I am curious....
Just wanted to say I just donated 10.00 hard earned bucks towards your G2X fund Faux!

Yes, for cm7 only.
Ouch....would really love to give these kernels a try...but the stock rom is sick....I anxiously await a stock overclocked kernel....if I had the time and skill I'd have done it myself.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Kernal boots fine for me as well. Noticed a increased in speed @ 1.4GHz
Get the phone already!
Quandrant Results
Original at 1Ghz got a ~2000
Overclocked at 1.4Ghz got a ~2800
I know Quandrant isn't accurate but it's fun.
Damn....u did it first! Nice job congratulations!
This thing absolutely screams at 1.3GHz. I'm not experiencing any new bugs or seeing fixes to old ones. I hope folks will post speeds and voltages that are working for them as our use of this kernel settles into a routine.
bookmarked this thread! might wanna try soon.

NOTICE: This is COMPATIBLE with ALL AOSP/CM7/CM9/OpenSense Based ROMs
(Thanks to Albinoman887, scorp2kk, intervigilium and vorbeth for pull requests and contributions.)
For frequency control use fauxclock from Google Play
Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is of course covered under GPL version 2. Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. I have donated a large sum of my free time to hack this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source. Thank you
​
Hi XDA members and fellow Sensation users:
This is my eleventh kernel hack. I want to thank Cyanogen, CyanogenMod members, Erasmux, and several others I cannot recall for inspiring me to venture into this unfamiliar territory for me.
What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.
​
THIS KERNEL is BASED ON CM7 Source Code. So it is COMPATIBLE ONLY WITH CM7/AOSP Sensation Builds.
Please DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close).
Joe's RCU (Optimized for Small SMP systems)
Joe Korty has created an RCU for small SMP systems (> 32 cores). His approach is to isolate all the Garbage Collection (GC, a slow time consuming but necessary processing) to a single core, thus allowing other cores to ONLY work on real required processing. This will allow the additional cores to complete their assigned tasks as fast as possible (not bogged down by GC) then immediately go back to a suspended state (saving battery).
Fast No Hz RCU (Optimized for SMP operations)
Fast NoHz is an optimized version of the traditional Tree RCU. Many new kernels are using the Tickless NoHz design. This RCU is tailored and designed to work with the new NoHz kernel system.
SmartAssV2 Governor (Balanced)
This governor has a built-in "profile" similar to SetCPU, so screen off will use lower clock rate thus conserve more battery, but it also has a fast wake up feature so that user interaction will not see the lag when switching from Sleep to Wake state.... (So SetCPU Profiles are sorta redundant when using this governor, you can still use SetCPU to OC to higher than default Clock frequency).
Interactive Governor (Performance)
This governor is designed to put more priority to User Interface (UI aka Apps) tasks, therefore appears more responsive then the traditional OnDemand governor. So if you want the smoothest UI interaction, this governor is for you...
Brain F*ck Scheduler - (BFS)
This scheduler is designed to be simple and speedy tailor specifically for user interface type systems such as desktop/smart phone devices where user interaction is MORE important than serving 1 million web requests (CFS, the default scheduler) at the same time (think of nimble desktop workstations vs large corporate servers).
SLQB - (SLAB allocator with Queue)
This memory allocator is designed for small number of CPUs system (such as desktop or smart phone devices). This allocator is design to be simple and it is optimized for using order-0 pages as much as possible (order-0 pages are the simplest therefore quickest type of memory in a Linux system to allocate). Not all kernels are using SLQB including CM7 main line...
Fair Budget Queue (BFQ I/O scheduler)
This I/O scheduler is an improvement on top of Completely Fair Queue (CFQ). CFQ is fair in terms of time but not in terms of throughput / bandwidth, so BFQ make sure that both time and throughput / bandwidth are balanced across all requests.

Low Voltage - Under Volt the processor, therefore uses Less Battery, but NOT ALL CHIPS can handle Under Volt.. If you experience instability, try the Stock Voltage Version.
Stock Voltage - Uses the voltage values from ORIGINAL HTC Kernel Source.
There are NO PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE between the Under Volted and Stock Voltage versions!
1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)
2. copy the downloaded zip file to /sdcard/download/
3. Open ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" and select "OK"
4. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition", select "Yes", then select "advanced", then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then select "Yes" again. Once finished, click the back button to go back to the main recovery menu. On that menu, select "Install Zip From SDCad", then select "Choose zip from SDCard", then go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
5. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"
Note: After FLASHING, the first reboot may take longer than usual, please be patient... After the first reboot, it may lag during initial load (let everything finish loading). Once everything is loaded and phone is ready for use, reboot the phone a 2nd time and the lag will be gone and everything should be silky smooth...

Faux123 you're my favorite recognized developer hero
Why do you make your font size so large? Hurts to read.
WOW! CM kernel is out!
I have tested this kernel and it runs very smooth, most things so far work. There are a few hiccups but they could also be due to not having kernel source for the cm7 rom yet.
Im not posting screenshots since it scores about the same as sense based roms. Linpack is a bit low but that could be a number of factors. Overall importance is that the rom is smooth and very agile
Wow, you're quick!

For those people who fail @ reading
Thank you!
Thanks a ton for all the work you do. At first I was afraid this phone wasn't going to have much love (I came from Mytouch slide), but I have been overwhelmed by the amount of people that are putting out quality work for it
Prepare to have your thanks button massaged a few times.
I knew you were up to something. Flashing now.
Remember to give THANKS were THANKS is due.
Where is the download link?
Idk? Faux were is the download link?

CM7 Kernel is OUT! Version 012 is the baseline version.
Current CM7 is based on 2.3.3 Binary Blobs, so only up to my version 012 is compatible with it. Once CM7 decides to move to 2.3.4 binary blobs, then I will apply my 013 and 014 patches to the kernel.
Enjoy and have fun.. Now let's post some amazing benchmarks!
Wiped cache, dalvik, flashed 1.78 then thermal patch. Rebooted. Getting constant reboots shortly after ADW EX finishes loading. Won't stop.
man, tonight just keeps on getting better and better lol first we get cm7, then xboarder fixes his AOSP rom due to cm7 , then faux comes out with a cm7/AOSP OC kernel... this phone just became the best out , easily.

I tried the 1.78 and worked but bootlooped during cf bench, odd because I have been able to run the 1.78 kernels before but we shall see. I'll be testing heavily tonight.
Edit: Okay she's running just fine on 1.5 so maybe my phone cant handle 1.78.......anymore ....??

I don't doubt it. All phones are different. With this 1.78, my phone would freeze and reboot after ADW finished loading, but all of your 1.78 versions worked perfectly for me on Melvin's Beast ROM. Trying 1.56 now.

Help & FAQ
THREAD RULES & PROTOCOLS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT THREAD:
I might not have your device variant and or able to reproduce your "issue". With this in mind, without providing as much information as possible, and resetting your device to a stable unmodified baseline, any potential troubleshooting or logs could be meaningless. So please follow the guidelines set out below. Thanks
BY POSTING YOUR ISSUES IN THIS THREAD, YOU ARE AGREE TO HELP YOURSELF FIRST BY PROVIDING INFO REGARDING:
Code:
1. DEVICE MODEL ?
2. ROM and firmware version (build number, boot-loader etc) ?
3. EXACT steps taken to reproduce YOUR issue
4. Screen-shots (if applicable)
5. Did you read Posts #1-3 completely?
6. Did you search the thread, XDA or GOOGLE?
7. Did you follow the install instructions EXACTLY?
8. What was your previous kernel?
9. Do you have any other known kernel tweaking apps, scripts or mods? ([B]remove them[/B]). [COLOR="Red"]This includes Xposed etc[/COLOR]
10. Try older kernel (if available)
11. Factory reset ?
12. Try latest stock [B]UNMODIFIED[/B] firmware (without custom ROM - if you have installed) and factory reset
13. Delete your ROM BusyBox (kernel uses it's own in /sbin)
ONLY IF YOU HAVE TRIED SUGGESTIONS ABOVE:
Turn on logging in Synapse and save logs AT TIME OF ERROR. AND post together with ALL the above information.
ELSE, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, YOU WILL BE IGNORED AND/OR POST REPORTED !!
THANK YOU :good:
NO FAST CHARGE
If using the pathetic original cable, try disconnect and reconnect the USB cable whilst power is still turned on to the charger
Use a thicker / better cable, will work every time (ie. Note4 OEM cable)
CAN I BUILD A KERNEL FOR YOUR __XX DEVICE ?
I will 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.
Sorry. I don't have the spare time for any more variant support.
"NO UCI SUPPORT"
It's a ROM busybox compatibility issue
Three choices:
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data and REBOOT
OR
Remove your ROM busybox from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use the kernel busybox in /sbin).
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
OR
Try install a different busybox
Force stop Synapse and delete app data (device settings > applications)
Re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
Synapse or BACKUP/RESTORE ISSUES
It's a ROM busybox or sqlite3 compatibility issue
Remove both your ROM busybox & sqlite3 from /system xbin and /system/bin (Synapse will use it's own from kernel /sbin).
Device > settings > applications > Synapse > force close & wipe data
Reboot or re-flash kernel as per Installation Instructions
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 (thanks @aldoblaga )
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:
Code:
lsmod

CPU POWER CONSUMPTION
The Samsung Exynos 7420 Deep Dive - Inside A Modern 14nm SoC (by ANANDTECH - Andrei)
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
http://bgr.com/2015/03/17/galaxy-s6-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.
CM SUPPORT
Read Post #12
"Unauthorized actions have been detected, reboot to undo changes"
As it's a common warning found with all KNOX enabled android devices, you would have found the answer by Google search and also that it is actually unrelated to kernel and also unrelated to this kernel development..............
It is caused by the process of rooting/modifying your device. Unless you use KNOX, don't worry.
[Q] How to disable
[A] Freeze or delete your KNOX & Security related apps/processes manually (using root explorer or titanium backup (pro) or use Synapse > Security > disable KNOX
CAN I USE OTHER KERNEL CONTROL APPS
No, many features and options won't be available. Remove all other control apps to avoid conflicts !
Synapse is the recommended and has everything you need
BATTERY TIPS
Try some (or combination) of the CPU MULTICORE features in Synapse:
HMP profile = Battery
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)
Set all Advanced wake-lock controls to 1, except GPS. Set it to 4
Set WiFi wakelock control to 2 or 3
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor profile = Performance
Set A57 & A53 Interactive governor = Turbo Mode (battery cost)
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
ASV_GROUP (ALL DEVICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL)
This is an example from my Exynos5420 source. Similar idea for Exynos420
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61579949&postcount=202
CAN I INCLUDE SkyHigh KERNEL IN MY ROM
Although I do appreciate your contribution here, 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.

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
* [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:

Great kernel. Very good performance and battery life. Haven't had the random reboot issue but then again I only charge at night while sleeping.
Will flash new update tonight.
Thanks again for your work.

I just installed this v1.5b kernel... I will give feedback tomorrow night sometime and let you know how it runs for me.
Thanks for all your hard work on this @UpInTheAir
This kernel run great on t-mobile variant but I can't call anyone...it lags while trying to call someone and once they pick up neither side can hear anything.

Can users please follow the development thread protocols and try a few things first. Example is top of Post #3 which you all would have read. I don't use your device variant, so I can't test the exact kernel build, neither can I read minds.
At the very least, details of your ROM and firmware need to be posted so others can give feedback on what is working and not.
Myself, have no issue on SM-N920C (H4 firmware), and with minmial searching found this piece of info from arter97. it may be applicable, maybe not.

You will need more feedback here so others may help build a BIGGER picture.

No issues with that here. Followed all instructions (DUH) and no issues so far. Had one random reboot but that was because I accidentally OC and hit apply without realizing it, lol.

True that. It's getting harder and harder to type the same thing over and over again. They just don't want to fend for themselves.

Kernel Special Features: A magical support, I am all day here, reading the publications of the posts, ready to help in any doubt (unless you have not read the OP that contains the information that you need).
Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: RC1
Stable Release Date: 2017-12-19
Created 2017-12-19
Last Updated 2017-12-19
RC1 - 19/12/2017
Initial release
Frequently asked questions
Q: Will this conflict with any mod I'm using?
A: As long as it doesn't have any entropy related stuff, its okay. Since the kernel already comes with an inbuilt entropy generator, it will conflict with the ones from mod, causing a poor, stuttered performance!
Q: Deep Sleep isnt working for me, Google Services causing wake-locks, what to do?
A: Go to settings, Privacy, Privacy Guard, All apps, long press Google Services, and deny/disable wake-locks! (Thanks to @Paget96 for the solution)
Q: Is your kernel secure?
A: You MAY face some issues, but it's safe! My cell phone has not exploded yet.
Q: WiFi doesnt work for me.
A: Reflash ROM and Kernel.
Q: What application can I use to configure the kernel?
A: Use Spectrum, and if you have enough knowledge of what to modify or do in the application use together Kernel Adiutor.
Q: Can I use the kernel source in my ROM?
A: If you want to use my kernel in your ROM, just put my name in the credit, just like I did.
Q: Does your kernel support writing to the NTFS file system?
A: Yeeh, you can use flash drives and HD with NTFS via OTG.
Q: My cpu clock is locked with any governor.
A: Just disable the thermal control in the kernel temperature settings.
Q: I have problems with your kernel.
A: Take a logcat and kmesg, this website and this video should help you
Q: Why does my magisk and root disappear after installing your kernel?
A: The kernel script makes changes that directly interfere with both, reinstall the magisk that it will function normally, follow this installation line always: FloppyKernel -> Magisk -> Reboot system.
Q: What is the "Battery" profile in the spectrum?
A: Based on Project Zhana & X.A.N.A was made for trying to be as efficient as possible without compromising the performance. Thanks to the discovery on Voltages used by our SD820 I could make a profile that utilizes more the BIG cluster. My first attempt was to move ALL the load to the BIG cluster, it was against anything that I have learned about little. BIG CPU but I tried, it turned really good at first, low usage was just amazing... But on more usage things didn't go that good. So what I did it was to give a twist to things, but not such twist. It kind of works like Nameless and Shotgun, Mostafa Wael and I worked the same idea. #LITTLE cluster will be running on low-mid frequencies but delivers full performance when is needed. # BIG Cluster will help LITTLE ease Load, but in a great way than before. Things can be done faster and more efficient giving us profit in form of battery. It should run smooth on all scenarios, but you guys tell me. You can easily get around 7~9 hours SOT for 24 hours even more If you don't play game. This will, of course, may vary, but it will definitely be better.
Q: What is the "Balanced" profile in the spectrum?
A: Based on GhostPepper was made to uses a quantized, frequency-aligned parametric curve to influence low core clock rates while providing extremely smooth transitions from each clock rate and exceptional battery life. Really well-defined clock speed escalation for a good battery and performance.
Q: What is the "Performance" profile in the spectrum?
A: Based on FusionP this profile brings a more "agressive" way to scale frequencies. It will scale frequencies sooner(regarding load values from cpu) and will use more the big cluster to provide more performance doing the tasks on hands. Battery should not take a big hit but using heavy demanding tasks you can expect a higher drain.
Q: What is the "Gaming" profile in the spectrum?
A: Based on Burnout PR5, this profile's main goal is to provide absolute maximum performance when needed, but lies low quite well. You see, some times I see the CPU hitting some of the high freqs of 1190 while making something as simple as watching YouTube or playing some spotify tracks needlessly, and sometimes I feel it is a bit slower than it should be in things like brute multitasking. Most profiles do aim at bringing a mid-ground to rest on. But with the sensible words of one of my favourite idols Jeremy Clarkson, he says 'Power solves everything' and right he is. By eliminating the mid freqs of the Little cluster and efficiently using some specific frequency steps, you get some power savings by staying on lower freqs as much as possible, and even on brutal tasks you get the job done faster as well, since the CPU will give you all the power to finish the job as fast as it can, and hit back to idle faster.
Q: I want more information about your spectrum profiles.
A: Read this thread.
Hi there.
Is it possible to run this kernel on the LOS 15.1?
Did read that it is for the 14.1, but you know, why not try to brick it?
Have you tested it? Cause the android go version of oreo with a good kernel could really make thea a brand new entry-level phone. With google camera 5 it could even compete with some budget phones from 2017.
Thanks for the kernel, Just flashed it on AOKP Nougat and it's running smoothly.
I discovered Spectrum with your post, amazing app to don't have an headache with kernel tweaking.
However does Spectrum activates a hotplug or does I have to activate it with kernel adiutor or else ?
PS: Spectrum profile's values can't be seen in Kernel Adiutor, I just see Lineage profile values... Also by looking at your spectrum init script I see that you assume that Thea have BIG and small clusters. when I'm trying to `cat` the value for some lines they do not exist.
Thanks a lot for keeping our good old Thea alive.
One more thing.
Could you make the kernel compatible with the oneoplus camera from this post ?
What camera app are you using?

Yes, I got this script from the source of my Mi5, some lines do not change it, because the kernel moto g 2014 does not have the resources

Tried flashing your new build...dirty flashed and then, because it wasn't working, clean flashed on 28/12 and 29/12 build of LOS 15.1 with TWRP 3.2.1-0. But unfortunately the phone (thea - XT1072) was stuck on boot logo every time. I really would like to see the kernel working on LOS 15.1, because it worked really good on LOS 14.1.
A few questions mate:
So the cpu is clocked to 1.6 Ghz right? Cpu z shows it reaching 1.2 only. Perhaps on performance profile?
How do i enable dt2w?
Got some lags in some animations, for example in settings, going to display, the animation in between is kinda sluggish. Whats funny is, overall the device is smoother! Some settings must be changed perhaps?
Is the permissive Selinux a big deal?
Im using Los 14.1 with your balanced profile. Thanks, happy new year!

Use kernel adiutor, cpu z is not very good to get info, dt2w dont work on thea, only in titan, it is normal to have some lags, after all it is an old device already, it also depends on its use, selinux dont will stop the lags, if that's what you're thinking
I'm using in titan, your kernel doesn't lag but battery gets horny (bad joke) I mean that the battery duration got worst, you maybe consider undervolting a little and upgrading your lmk parameters because it does make apps don't lag but it's a little aggressive, it does FC my keyboard (google keyboard) and I don't wanna be annoying but I have a request, can you bake voltage control into the kernel?
---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------
I can provide sources for voltage control if you want and, where I send logs?
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------
The fix for laggy animations when opening recents and for almost the animations is disabling the adreno idler, or tweaking it
If you have any other test builds for 8.1 just pm me so I can test it
I am using Thea. I like your kernel but had to remove it and restore a backup because the battery usage settings was hanging. When I unplugged after charging it still showed up as charging. That I could fix with a restart but then it wouldn't show what apps was used since last charge. Didn't note any significant improvement in battery duration the days I tried out your kernel.
BTW is there a way to remove your kernel without having to install a backup?
Are you still here?
Is this kernel compatible with Android 8.1? I am running LOS 15.1 but I want to use FloppyKernel because I loved it when I was running Nougat.
However, there is a problem. I can't afford to flash it because I am currently using my device a lot and there is no boot.img in your script. I tried to manually repack a boot image with your Zimage and hot-boot it from Fastboot but it stays stuck in the Motorola logo when I do it. I dumped LuK's Oreo kernel and it hot-boots fine. I'll also try to build your kernel from source.
I really hope that you didn't abandon this device too, but if you did then I will try to become a developer for this nice old phone.

dexk get support for android 10 ! update soon
Thank you very much for posting this. I am eager to try this on my device, which has Havoc on it.
Just to confirm the installtion process. I assume that I would install the kernel, then flash Magisk.
Is there any need to reload TWRP (I noticed that you posted an updated flashable twrp on Telegram as well which I am eager to try).
Perfect
Great combination, Havoc and KernelDeluxe. Thank you
I have tested this on my phone using the latest version of Havoc.
Unfortunately, I experienced a couple of instances where the phone totally froze then restarted. I was in the middle of using firefox for android both of those times. Since the phone was non responsive, I was not able to get a logcat.
I am not sure if that behavior would be limited to firefox, at each of those restarts I had to set up my home screen widgets again and didn't want this to happen again so I reverted to the standard Havoc kernel.
If there are any tests or diagnostic information I can provide, I will be happy to do so. I can flash the kernel again and do that. I am just a bit wary of using it as a daily driver. Please let me know how I can help troubleshoot or if there is any information I can provide. Note, I didn't do any kernel tuning.
I am wondering what others may have experienced....

it is normal if that compilation has a non-stable preliminary version

I totally understand and just wanted to report my experience.
I will try the next version whenever it comes out.
If I am not mistake, the "stock" kernel that comes with Havoc is an earlier version of this (If I am correct).
- proc: Remove verifiedbootstate flag from /proc/cmdline 2/2 (thank to @FJSanti and @SyberHexen )
-proc: Remove SafetyNet flags from /proc/cmdline 1/2
Hi, does this 2 thing mean i can use gpay and other safetynet sh.. without root, magis and bla bla with this kernel without a problem? Or it no longer works for gpay?

Yup in theory but before i will unlock ky hootloader would be nice to know if somebody use it that way. I use a lot gpay for now that is why asking. Anyway thanks maybe i will unlock anyway. I hate stock roms
Hey, does this work on stock?
Would this make my phone faster game wise?
