Awesome! Any plans for the BT model?
I'm sorry for being ignorant but that is benefit of this kernel?
Working on getting core control correct, I updated the gpu to use 300mhz frequency and enabled all 4 cores. When I am done testing and I am happy with the results I will release a new kernel. Oh I also unlocked 400mhz 1.26ghz step. For me I can use quadcore and get the same battery life as dual core.
I will look at lowering voltage to save even more battery this week when/if I get time. I hope you guys speak up and let me know what you want out of this smartwatch.
The Below screenshot is my normal usage with AOD enabled on 4 core kernel. I'm sure without AOD enabled it can last a lot longer.

Travis Mills (Travis82)

Battery life has been great so far. I can get 4 days on a single charge.
I mainly use the phone for workout tracking and minimal messaging on Telegram app.
I do not use AOD and only used Bluetooth for pairing/configuring accounts and mainly use Wi-Fi as needed.
Let me know if you need someone to test your updated kernel once you update.
@travis82
How to enable/disable fsync?
Kernel updated to catch up to google source 60+ changes. So it's as up to date as it can get without me upstreaming it.
Main changes I saw were screen updates for brightness and updated wifi drivers and Bluetooth configs.
Im also testing quick charge I added it to the twrp image already you can download it from the appropriate thread.
will his work om bt model?
I would love to see this on the Sawfish.

After install this zip from twrp my whatch 2 4g is unable to make sound, unable to use mic, and google assistant cant connect to google.

That would be awesome, are you going to use DP2 or you will wait for the official H update and make the ROM?
Oh, probably official P. Also if anyone has factory restore images for Oreo that would be helpful. We cant go back to N anymore because of the newer bootloader.
Also the ones who applied the new system update can you install my twrp and kernel to see if its all good?
I have already tried the update several times without success. At the end the device starts with a red exclamation mark and reboots.
Has anyone been able to perform the update successfully?

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.

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?

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

-------------------------------------------------
What does make that Kernel special?
This is literally the first kernel with Energy Aware Scheduling for Sony Xperia.
It took weeks to make anything working but the work was worth at the end
-------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
You just need these things:
A Xperia Z5 Premium
TWRP Recovery
-------------------------------------------------
How to install my Kernel?
It's truly easy:
Download the Zip on Download section (Second Post)
Reboot into Recovery
Flash the downloaded Zip
It will do by itself all what you need
-------------------------------------------------
Source Code/Repositories?
Take a look here:
https://github.com/PDesire/XperiaSatsukiEliteKernel
-------------------------------------------------
FAQ:
Why does my CPU behave so kinda weird?
Well EAS is different than what we normally know (HMP), if you think the CPU behavior is abnormal, it is just because EAS does handle tasks differently
My device got hard bricked, do you fix it for me?
It's a Kernel so you have to be responsible for any damages!
But it should not damage your phone.

32.3.A.2.33
Booted just fine on my E6883, will test for sometime, & let you know of how it behaves. Thanks again for your much hard work of not letting our Z5 Premium die!!
Okay, it definitely runs cooler, I rebooted several times already, & its not as hot at stock would be. But I think that's cause of all the big cores being turn off, that's the behaviour I noticed after the phone booted.
Also, is it normal that two big cores always remain active? In stock, only one does. You should maybe educate a little more on what to expect with this kernel.
Okay, after a bit of a settling, its back to one big core always active like stock behaviour.
And by the way, SafetyNet doesn't pass with Magisk, I use Magisk v12 with Magisk root. Hope in the future something can be done here.
I know it's just the first release & I might be bugging you with the requests, but I noticed the boot time is a bit longer than the usual stock. And if at all this is possible, could you reduce the backlight during boot like in Zach's SunKernel?
And would I be losing the Energy Aware Scheduling if I switch to Interactive governor for both Big & Little cores?
I don't really understand the hot plugging of this kernel, sometimes all big cores are active, sometimes 3, 2, stock like 1, sometimes none. I mean, wouldn't it drain battery to constantly switch big cores on & off. It doesn't overheat, it stays cool as said though.

SafetyNet I will patch soon. Right now the bootstate is on orange which I need to patch soon
About the boot time: that's because... Well EAS and performance governor (which is used on boot) aren't best friends sometimes
The Brightness dimm on boot is no problem :good:
You don't lose EAS if you use it... Just interactive is optimized for HMP, so some laggs can exist

Rooted with Magisk12
Lineage?
Can i use this on lineage or is this a stock only?
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.

Chihayafuru might feel like an awkward name for a kernel, but the meaning is pure and beautiful. Inspired from an Anime series, the name means "do towards good direction powerfully" like a "thousand swift swords". That's exactly what this kernel is.
This kernel has been made with love by cherry-picking commits from most of the work already done by other developers and introducing other slight changes which ensure your device gets the love it deserves. From performance to battery saving options, you're in full control of your device and the plethora of configurations available allow you to tweak it to your needs.
Presenting CF Kernel (ver 0.90) for Huawei Honor 8
Compatibility Notes:
This kernel is tested to work with stock EMUI 8, Treble 8.x and 9.x ROMs. Compatibility with other ROMs is not guaranteed, However, this doesn't mean I won't support them. If you face a bug or issue, please report it here and I'll happily take a look at it.
GPL Notice:
This kernel conforms to GPL license requirements. Thus all the source code is freely available here without any charge: https://github.com/hackslashX/android_kernel_hisi_hi3650
Recommended Apps:
To tweak most of the settings in the kernel, I recommend using EX Kernel Manager: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/app-ex-kernel-manager-t3560850, Kernel Adituor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en and FK Kernel Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel&hl=en
Early Release Notice:
The kernel is still young and not yet mature. However, with time and your support, we can help make this project rock solid stable for Honor 8. Even though my initial testing has proved good, things might break on your end. Don't fret when that happens, take some logs and send it to me so that I can take a look at them and attempt for a fix.
Features:
Compiled with UberTC 4.9 toolchain with Cortex A53 and O2 optimizations
Upstreamed to v4.4.198
Added blu_active and enabled sched CPU governors (sched, blu_schedutil)
Enabled Scene Aware, Performance, and Powersave GPU governors
Enabled HiSilicon GPUFreq Hotplug and Frequency Hopping feature
Disabled useless drivers and features
Say no to Huawei D.U.B.A.I analytics and root scan feature
Disabled Huawei OASES and Livepatching feature
Disabled Swap and zRAM for much smoother operations
Mali GPU tweaks for improved performance
Added zen, FIOPS IO Schedulers
Added westwood and other advanced TCP algorithms
Fingerprint boost driver for quick recognition
Added CPU boost driver to reduce input lag
Reduced allowed wakelocks and better timer frequency
Boeffla Wakelock Blocker to kill unecessary wakelocks that interrupt your device sleep
Dynamic Sched Tune CPU support
Fast USB Charging support
Option to toggle FSync
Option to toggle SELinux to Permissive or Enforcing
Wireguard VPN support
Improvements to the sound module and vibration driver
... and more which I didn't note down or forgot xD

Does it affect the root after flashing this kernel?

No root is not affected after flashing this kernel.
The kernel image only modifies the 'kernel' partition and leaves the 'ramdisk' one as it is.

Im waiting for Undervolt now and the battery would be awesome!!!

Thanks for your review.
For gaming you can also set GPU governor to Performance for a more better experience.
I've noted down your request. I'll do my best to deliver.
I never flashed custom kernel before. Is there any chance of permanent brick? If something goes wrong, can't I just flash stock kernel and get it working again?
Also, do I need to wipe data after flashing kernel to see the changes?

There's no chance of permanent brick. Restoring is as easy as flashing the stock kernel via fastboot.
You don't need to perform a data wipe. However, you should allow the kernel to 'settle' i.e. use it for 2-3 charge/discharge cycles to see the effect.
@hackslash .. Installed it yesterday, seems to be working fine.. Jus wanted to check, I m running LoS B5, any specific recommendations on the Governor setting for battery?
I'm using openkirin RR b2. Recent Openkirin on H8 seems to have the problem to barely go into deepsleep or not anymore at all after a while. So I suffer from a quick battery drain. The support channel suggested to try out a custom kernel. I wonder if you know that this kernel will solved the problem?
How about future openkirin or kernel updates? Will I have to go back to stock first or can I just flash new openkirin while still being on this kernel?
Thanks for your hard work! I recently flashed it and it works like a charm!
UPDATE 1: I redownloaded the EMUI 8 package and now it contains everything, including the stock kernel.
UPDATE 2: Short-term experiences: The fingerprint scanner's performance is drastically improved and now it is just as fast and accurate as on EMUI, the camera performance is now closer to EMUI, but there's a little room for improvement, the fast charging is faster than on EMUI, the phone doesn't want to overheat anymore on my custom ROM and overall the phone is now a little bit faster. I'm testing it with the Kirin-GSI AOSP Android 9.0 Pie ROM, not with an OpenKirin ROM, but it is really stable just like on EMUI and OpenKirin ROMs. And I have a suggestion for bugfixes for Honor 8s (eights) running this AOSP Android Pie ROM: Please fix the broken hotspot function in kernel level on Honor 8s (eights) running this custom firmware, implement the EMUI camera app into the kernel and make the camera performance identical to EMUI's. The Kirin-GSI project is now abandoned because the dev bought a new phone which is not a Huawei phone, so he wouldn't fix the problems anymore. It's really annoying that I can't share my unlimited cellular data to friends or to my PS4 when I'm on vacation.

Have you used fastboot or TWRP? If you used TWRP, you need to flash back the stock recovery and the stock kernel, then you can try again flashing CF via fastboot. Flashing with fastboot makes different results than flashing with TWRP.

Thanks for taking the time to review the kernel.
Let's get some facts straight. First, camera performance has nothing to do with the kernel and 'camera app' can't be implemented inside the kernel. That's not how things work. Camera processing and everything is handled by Android and so your ROM developer can help you with that. Taking about hotspot, I'm not sure why it doesn't works with Pie. Again, I believe it's a ROM bug and has got nothing to do with kernel. I would wait for Pie releases by OpenKirin team and see if that bug exists there too and 'really' requires a kernel hack to fix it.

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 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.
