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"

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.

Thanks Yo so Much Bro.
@ZawZaw How did you get process reclaim working properly. Many other kernel devs have abandoned it because it caused a race condition in the kernel. Just curiosity. I've got much respect for you and I'm glad you were able to build a kernel. It's nice to see developers continue to grow and progress. Keep up the amazing work.
f2fs
kernel does not boot with f2fs data and cache, not even with data only it does not boot. This was used with jolla's twrp and pure nexus rom as base, can confirm other kernels like franco and jolla booted up and worked fine with data and cache formatted to f2fs, if you can take a look at that? thanks.

Hey you are back with your own kernel!
Nice!
But there are an "errors" in your description:
-you invert last update and created date (22and 21)
But thanks a lot!
Now I think the best you can do is an all in one with all your work (so your customs roms in one, your sound mods,your substratum theme, your fonts and finally your kernel) ?
Good job bro!
PS: the first thing that people are waiting for a custom kernel for our device is battery as our device is quick enough even runing on low frequencies with the governor set on conservative and scheduler set on noop so yes as I say more juice more fun.

Guy on this device runing on lower frequencies don't save more battery as it runs on same voltages(see franco kernel thread) and overclocking?! You feel that your device is runing slow ?! Really I don't trust you...
No features of a kernel on nexus 5x are more battery but not by underclocking.

Hi all!
I'm back here on Ferrari development after having aquired some skills
First of all, huge thanks to @thewisenerd for his great job updating the kernel to caf tags
Anyway, im here to bring new life (or kind of it) to my dad's Mi4i.
It is based off the lastest 8.1.5.x firmware rom (AOSCP, LOS, etc ...)
Features:
Updated to lastest LA.BR.1.2.9-03610-8x16.0 caf tag
Patched many security holes
Reduced load average
Ext4 updates
Tuned CFQ and setted as default IO Sched
Added Adreno Idler
Added ExFat support
Patched many drivers to work with Power Efficient WQ
Optimized CPU-Boost
Tuned Westwood
Download:
Here
Instruction:
- reboot to TWRP
- Dirty flash your current ROM (or flash boot.img of it)
- flash PriimaFerrari kernel
- reboot
if it doesnt boot, a logcat would be very appreciated.
If random reboots happens, then you should follow this:
Code:
adb shell
cat /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops > /sdcard/console-ramoops.txt
exit
adb pull /sdcard/console-ramoops.txt

Nope didnt boot stuck on mi logo. Couldnt take a logcat sorry. And whats with all the strange links in the op? weird!!
Kindly cook kernel which supports 5 Ghz wifi band also. All custom kernels of this device support only 2.4 ghz wifi band.
Will this kernel work on miui?? I'm on miui 7.9.7 global. And does this kernel support quick charging?

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!
Download here:

Flash in TWRP, root and every other ramdisk modification will be preserved (Anykernel2 by osmosis)

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.

CodeX makes your device even snappier than before. Being a battery and performance balanced kernel it never compromises on stability. You know why? Cause your device deserves it! CodeX main priority is battery. More Juice equals More Fun.
Introducing the new CodeX Kernel Updater, which downloads the latest builds available from the remote server and flashes it automatically! All you need is network access to download the latest builds from the app. Then just click the Flash Kernel option in the navigation menu to flash the kernel. This app flashes the kernel through TWRP automatically and reboots your device with the latest CodeX Kernel
Rules that CodeX follow:
Be up to date with linux-stable
Stability and Security are at peaks
Features will be added based on Stability (If some feature breaks the stability, then I'll need to break it)
Have fun. And yeah, let me know if you need any feature. I'll always consider user opinions. But as I said, If that feature breaks the stability then I'll consider removing it!
Okay, time for most Interesting part, FEATURES!

FAQs:
1. Can you add xyz feature?
A. As already said, I'll always consider user opinions. But as I said, If that feature breaks the stability then I'll consider removing it!
2. Why the app needs internet for loading changelog or while flashing kernel?
A. Well, the app tries to load the latest changelog available in the remote server. And regarding flashing kernel, it makes sure that you're flashing latest version of the kernel.
3. Battery drains a lot! Damn CodeX?!
A. I've added most of the battery patches to the kernel. Still if battery drains faster for you, then consider either calibrating your battery or use an app like BetterBatteryStats to know what's causing the drain. Alternatively, I suggest using Greenify.
4. Which ROMs does this kernel support?
A. Have a look at the title. Only AOSP/LOS based ROMs. Though you can try it on MIUI, but you may face bugs
5. Why does the app says CodeX not found?
A. Well, I made this app to work exclusively with CodeX Kernel. I may plan to support other kernels in the future.
6. App Force closes on clicking Flash Kernel?
A. Make sure that you have your Updater in the system.
7. Red Wolf Recovery doesn't flash CodeX while in recovery?
A. No, as of now. An update to the RedWolf Recovery is needed to fix this.

Can you try to unlock the cpu/gpu freqs? I know the 636 is just an 660 underclocked. It would be awesome if we would atleast be able to clock our gpu higher than the stock 430mhz. It's pretty slow(gpu)
I(for one) don't really care about battery/sot. Everything that's past 6 hours is ok for me, so I would love to be able to clock my gpu a little higher.

Well, as I said I'll consider user opinion. But still, it breaks the stability! So I won't do it. Hope you're enjoying kernel

Enable it with Kernel Adiutor on CPU tab, search for "Schedule workqueues on awake CPUs........"

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
