Yo! This thread contains two kernels (regular and SuperLite). If you wanna see what SuperLite is, then go here. You should read everything before moving onto the downloads section.
Hiya fellas.
This is my modded kernel for our loved Moto G 1st gen. In the beginning I decided to keep it for my personal use only, but then I decided to share it with you guys since there was no custom kernel compatible with the 5.1 stock rom.
Features:
Sources & Optimizations
- Based on Motorola's shared falcon/peregrine source
- Compiled with generic Linaro 5.3 toolchain
- Compiled with -O3 optimization & some more flags (e.g. Pipe flag)

Flashing & Tweaking Instructions (Follow this very carefully!!!):
- Place the zip at the root of your phone's internal storage (This is very important! If you flash the zip from a subfolder, you'll be left without wi-fi!!!)
- Reboot into recovery
- Flash the zip
(Another way: Reboot into recovery without copying the zip, and flash it via adb sideload)
- (Optional) Wipe cache and/or ART cache
- Reboot and have fun!
Coming from another kernel? Then I suggest you to (at least!!!) dirty flash your stock rom and kernel in order to avoid any issues!
Wanna tweak it? Use Kernel Adiutor! (I do NOT support Synapse!!!)

F.A.Q. (Read this before crying!!!!)
Q: Why did you develop this kernel?
A: Read the OP.
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: Go here for that.
Q: Will this kernel work on the GPE ROM?
A: Yes. And it'll also allow you to use this ROM without having to format /data to ext4.
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. For Synapse, scroll up and read the OP first.
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?

Kaminari SuperLite (previously "Optimized Stock Kernel")
Since KaminariLite has been discontinued, and Kaminari has become cleaner regarding features, I've been working on a version closer to the stock kernel, only more optimized.
Enter Kaminari SuperLite!
Diferences between this & the stock kernel:
- Compiled using generic Linaro 5.3 toolchain
- Bumped to Linux version 3.4.112
- Compiled with -O3 and misc optimization flags flags (Same as Kaminari)
- Most if not all of Kaminari's optimizations have been applied
- All governors except Interactive removed
- Supports both stock and GPE roms, regardless of filesystem (f2fs or ext4) used on /data
- Adds init.d support
- Default ZRAM size changed to 400MB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Differences between this & Kaminari:
- All governors except Interactive removed
- AutoSMP removed
- All TCP congestion algorithms except Westwood and Reno removed
- Additional I/O schedulers (zen, vr, sio, fiops, bfq) removed
- All non-essential features (FauxSound, Kcal, Dt2w...) have been removed
- Stock PowerHAL has been re-enabled
- Compressed using LZO (Kaminari uses XZ)

Just flashed it...buttery smooth...smartmax works like charm and yeah happy to see the kcal screen control...thanks kaminari for this amazing kernel...
So it is only for stock 5.1 right?
Edit: Working smoothly on stock 5.1
Keep it up.
Working great on XT1031 with stock 5.1. Nice job!
@kingkaminari thanks for kernel. Any chance in future to add support for Aosp roms? that would be great.

No, no plans for aosp/cm support yet - mainly because of my limited knowledge. But i'll consider making a version supporting these two
New build in the works! Just trying to fix a bug where all CPU cores stay online (needless to say that this causes a gigantic battery drain)
New build up!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811341
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811344 - "Mori" version - with S2W/DT2W
Changelog here.
I'm getting an update binary execution error with TWRP, with both new builds. I tried disabling the device check in the anykernel.sh but no go. Also, I noticed in the init.kaminari.rc file in the zip, there is a typo in the power mode lines. It has 2 lines for cpu2 and none for cpu3. I just noticed the same thing with Optimus V41 Prime earlier today.

The previous zips i made here worked fine (i flash them through adb sideload). And i just fixed the init.kaminari.sh. Plus i've fixed s2w/s2s in the Mori version (dt2w is still partly broken though).
New build up!
Version: 0.96b
Download: Regular Version | "Mori" Version (DT2W)
Changelog here, but for those who don't wanna go there:
- Fixed s2w (dt2w halfscreen is still broken)
- Fixed derp in init.kaminari.sh
GPE users, please test my builds if you can / feel courageous enough to do it
I give up, except for the first build, they won't flash in recovery for me.

I'll upload a zip without anykernel later. Btw, which version of twrp are you on? And do you have sufficient space in /system? Because this kernel pushes modules to it. I'm on twrp 2.8.7.0 + a modified stock rom, and i've had zero flashing errors so far
For those who are having problems with anykernel, i've uploaded special flashable zips without it.
Version is still 0.96b.
Downloads: Regular | DT2W
Version 096b flashed without any problems.
Just put the zip in the root of internal storage.
cool everything is just superb @kingkaminari hope you keep updating this kernel

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.

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
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.

Introduction
HateKernel is a custom kernel compatible with libra/aqua and on LineageOS 15.1-based ROM (Oreo 8.1.0). This kernel source are forked from Cozzmy13's source (CAF) and are made to improve performance, battery life, features and stability of our device. Obviously, I can't guarantee all of those claims at once due to the fact that there is a trade-off among them, so its up to you for applying tweak or setting-up your device based on your usage criteria.

Installation instruction
Required - TWRP recovery latest version & Nougat-bootloader.
NOTE: For AnyKernel2 flashable zip, I highly recommend to flash your stock ROM's boot.img first.
Flash via 'fastboot':
1) Download 'HateKernel-x.x.img'
2) Put the image in same folder as fastboot executable.
3) Run thru command "fastboot flash boot HateKernel-x.x.img"
Flash via TWRP recovery (boot.img):
1) Select install and change mode to "Flash Image" in TWRP.
2) Flash 'HateKernel-x.x.img' in 'boot' partition.
3) Obviously, reboot.
Flash via TWRP recovery (AnyKernel zip) RECOMMENDED
1) I think you should know how at this point.
2) Install as usual.

long time not see a custom kernel, cool
so if you use kernel based on Los 15.1, can I use this for other roms based los15.1 kernel?
nicee, will this compatible with others 15.1 based?

It should work. I've no idea if my kernel will broke something on other LoS-15.1 based rom as I've only tested it on unofficial LoS15.1 by Cozzmy13 but sure, try it and if something breaks, I'll try my best to fix it. :good:
Just try installing on AEX rom, but not explore more.

I can see that rom used Cozzmy13 kernel source which is the same tree of my kernel. Probably something changed in boot.img ramdisk for NOS kernel. I try to make anykernel patcher tonight.
Sidenote : HateKernel 1.3 already compiled with GCC 5.3.1 (ubertc-5.3.X) and booted up properly. Will released tonight with some other changes.

Is this kind of kernel features only available on kernel version 3.18.xx or is it also available on kernel version of 3.10.xxx

Most of those features are not limited to 3.18.xxx kernel. I've seen most of it implemented on Nexus 5X's custom kernel which share same kernel version with our device with the only exception is Qnovo charging driver. In fact, I've seen some of those features implemented on 3.10.9x which arent upstream to latest version at all.
HateKernel-1.3 is up
Changelog ;
-upgrade compiler to UBERTC-5.3.X (GCC-5.3.1)
-revert overclocking code until I found (if possible at all) working code
-proper undervolt to keep thermal-throttle a bit manageable

P.s: Not much changes in this version because I'm currently on holidays. Regarding kernel-patcher (AK2/lazyflasher), I'm currently still learning to do that. Very sorry guys. Development for more feature and upstream will continue soon.
To-do list ;
-upstream with latest CAF tag for msm8992
-upstream security patch
-Boeffla wakelock blocker
-backport zRam, F2FS and ext4 driver
-Adreno idler

I'm open to any suggestion to add other feature, just make sure its reasonable. Would be a great help too if you can point me to the commit if available.

Well, I'mma just suggesting these
1. KCAL Advanced Color Contol [with satutation, contrast and etc. Control]
2. Faux Sound Control [this really useful especially if somebody is experiencing a hissing noise on their headset, so they can reduce the output volume through this control]
3. Intelliplug or any hotplugging [only if it's really necesarry]
4. Adreno idler / booster of course (You've mentioned)
5. Upstreaming to the latest CAF (You've aforementioned)
6. ZRAM LZ4 Backport (On your to-do list)
7. Some kind of power efficient workqueue maybe
8. So-called boeffla wakelock (if i ain't mistaken the name)
PS : Anyway, undervolting seems working flawlessly, I've never reached 50°C now on normal chatting usage (usually it is around 50-55°C after one hour usage)
