This is a build of Ziyan and friend's 3.4 kernel(against their will), optimized for release. Absolutely no debugging features allowed.
Ipv6 and complex adb functions broken.
Graphical Stuttering fixed.
Ubertc4.9.4 (Until I setup 6.0)
Latest F2FS sources. This F2FS is newer than everyone elses. Kanged from KHAON.
Brought up from 3.4.67 to 3.4.110.
Selinux disabled.
Optimized to all hell. Ofast probably regressed performance below that of O2 but Ofast makes people smile so whatever. It's smooth is all I have to say.
Works with any rom.
Mod Edit
Rolling release kernel, no versions. To report bugs tell me the hash, date, or build # of the kernel you have issues with.
Want a feature? Tell me to include it. I'm too lazy to do it? Fork my source and build it then post a link to your sources and I'll include it in the OP if it's good. This project is driven by and for the community.

Introduction
Hello everyone, this is a thread to introduce both users and kernel developers to the concept of linux-stable as well as give developers some tips and a tree to either merge into their own, use as a base, or just as a reference. Feel free to ask questions and enjoy!
What is it?
linux-stable is, as the name implies, the stable branch of the Linux kernel, the base of Android. The phone could not run without the Linux kernel (at least not without reworking a lot of stuff). The Android kernels are based on the longterm stable trees:
Longterm
There are usually several "longterm maintenance" kernel releases provided for the purposes of backporting bugfixes for older kernel trees. Only important bugfixes are applied to such kernels and they don't usually see very frequent releases, especially for older trees.

All Linux development happens on the master branch, which is governed by Linus Torvalds. When issues are discovered there, the fixes are applied then backported to these various stable trees for consumption. It is not uncommon for a fix to need to go back a few years.
There is a LOT more information available in the notes repo in the android-linux-stable organization if you care to learn more in-depth: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/notes
What does this mean for me?
If you are a developer, this means you should be merging these changes into your own tree. These are vetted, stable fixes to real world problems and they are being handed out for free. It does not take long to get up to date (as you can just merge this tree directly into your own or do it yourself using the tree as a reference) and once you are up to date, there is usually a release once every two weeks, give or take. I provide a rebuttal to a lot of various complaints here. If you still feel like there is a good reason not to do this, please let me know, I'll be happy to try and debate on it!
If you are a user, it means that you should be looking for and using kernels that have these fixes, as it shows the developers care for your security and stability. The current version for this device is either 3.18.66 (OxygenOS) or 3.18.71 (LineageOS and most likely all other custom ROMs) and the current version upstream is 3.18.124 so all you need to do is go into Settings > About phone and look at the kernel version to know if you are up to date.
How do I use?
If you are a developer, the reference tree is located in the android-linux-stable organization: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/op3
There are three branches: one for OxygenOS stable, one for OxygenOS beta, and one for Lineage 15.1.
This can either be merged into your existing kernel tree if you have one or be used as a fresh base. You do not need my permission to use it nor do you need to give me credit (although it would be appreciated).
If you are a user, use a kernel that has the changes added in!
Getting notified about updates
There are a few ways to get notified of linux-stable updates:
The linux-kernel-announce mailing list: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kernel-announce
The android-linux-stable Telegram channel: https://t.me/alsupdates
Subscribe to this thread
Follow me on Google+ or Twitter
Getting help
If you have any issues with getting these changes into your tree or want to ask a question, there are a few different ways to do it:
Post in this thread
Join the linux-stable support chat on Telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/C1UAJ1EMSX31PCFdwLnOSg
File an issue either in the android-linux-stable notes repo or the android-linux-stable repo for this device
When requesting help, please give some solid details as to what you are struggling with, as I am happy to provide assistant and clarity but not to do something for you (unless I screwed up).
hmm this helps a lot bro. Thanks for opening this thread. So, here comes my first question - how can we make a kernal compatible with most of the Oreo roms which we have at present like nos, Z, Pixel, Aosip or omni or others as they all use different.

Well that's not exactly a topic for this thread but it depends on what makes them different. Some things can co-exist, others can't. I know that's a generic response but I don't really have anything more descriptive I can give.
3.18.93 has been merged in.
3.18.94 has been merged in (conflict notes).
3.18.95 has been merged in.
The OP has been updated, including some more information for users as well as some more ways of getting help and notified of updates! Enjoy
v3.18.96
https://github.com/nvertigo/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8996/tree/linux-stable/merge-15.1
This is current lineageos/lineage-15.1 merged with https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tag/?h=v3.18.96.
3.18.96 has been merged in.

Sir! it's a flashable kernel for 1+3T?

Umm.. no. Might wanna read a bit more before asking. It's just the kernel sources.

No, it's for peoples who want build upstreamed kernel, like sources to build.
3.18.97 has been merged in.
3.18.98 has been merged in.
My apologies to the custom ROM users for breaking MTP and adb many thanks to @martinusbe and @nvertigo67 for reporting the issue to me and helping me fix it! The change has been pushed, please pull to update!

No reason to apologies. Thanx to you and @martinusbe for fixing this. Without you I would still search in ffs commits...

Yay its fixed. I'm sure people against upstreaming will use this as an argument to say upstreaming is bad. I'm not a dev so I really have no idea what's right. In my book, higher version = good lol xD

Well it wasn't stable that broke this, it was a CAF merge I still should have dug deeper into the conflict, I definitely rushed it. I don't do that with the stable merges.
3.18.99 has been merged in.
3.18.100 has been merged in.

Thank you!
I will use it!

Also, did you use the Tegra3 hardware tree?
Hey guys how is this rom

Yup I used the normal repo commands (I don't remember properly as I started compiling it 1.5 year ago)
SORRY for if any wrong sources aye!
Hi
Is ROM better than @ud4's 8.1.0 ROM? I currently have @ud4's and there an issue where some apps (like RedReader, Magisk Manager stable, Play Store, etc...) won't launch; they just show a blank screen. Does this ROM also have that issue?
Thanks
So I have a j2xlte [SpreadTrum SC8830]. I'm interested in getting a custom kernel ready for it (the one on github is very broken)
After waiting for Samsung to give us the kernel and cherry-picking some commits: here's the current source
https://github.com/J2xlteDev/android_kernel_j2xlte/commits/working
Now I want to have upstream changes, like remilia has in their kernel
But after spreadtrum got renamed to Unisoc, it's really hard to find any information on it.
Can someone give the Spreadtrum common kernel repo or something? Would be cool
figured it out, just needed to clone upstream kernel source and cherry-pick some commits

Hello Folks,
I am searching Testers for DIOS 12.1 My new upcoming Xperia exclusive OS.
Things that don't work actually on Sagami Boards due to the Xperia Software Binaries:
-Mobile Data
-Wifi
-NFC
-Battery Status (No Infos)
Make sure You know what You do. Flash the OEM Software binaries to use this AOSP/SODP based ROM. Flash all Images included in My ZIPs. OTAs can be applied over ADB and Recovery after You have flashed My Kernels/Recoveries. Feel free to ask Me out if You have Questions and consider Joining Me on Social Media or Discord to stay up-to-date.

Hi OP, since you are the original developer for this ROM, I changed the tag from General to Development.
Also, because you are posting this ROM yourself, could you please also post a link to kernel source repo? As on XDA we need to comply with GPL v2 which requires kernel source to be open source.
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the Help! Since i am using the SODP Device Trees are we going with Pre-Compiled Kernels from the SODP for now.
Source will be added to the first Post! https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/local_manifests
