Wow nice! For OOS?

As usual there's a large focus on battery life. F2FS is upstreamed to the latest version and I spent a couple days single picking useful commits from Qualcomm's repository with fixes and power consumption improvements.
You should see an improvement in battery life.

I'm wait this moment. Thanks FF!

@franciscofranco The king is here!!!!Tnx buddy!!

can it be flash over another custom kernel?

Thank you for supporting Oneplus 5! Using now and it's very smooth.
Just want to report also that the stock screen gestures (double tap to wake, draw O for camera etc) are not working yet

Nope....first stock kernel...after custom one....

Great work Franco!
After a reboot, the phone boots to default color calibration and it takes like 10-20 seconds to switch to DCI-P3 or SRGB.
PS:Gestures are broken too.

The kernel is systemless?

Color calibration did not reset for me. Working fine. But Gestures don't work when screen is off.

I don't see the discount price for the Manager & Updater in the PlayStore.
Edit: price already updated in the store

@franciscofranco
fsync seems to be causing issues for me. With fsync disabled some apps fc after being cleared and some other work fine. After reenableing fsync everything returns to normal.
I´am running the latest stock rom with the only modificatiion being your kernel and magisk.

[Kernel][LOS/CAF][M/N] Linux 3.10 custom kernel v3

Linux 3.10-based kernel for Oneplus One (bacon)
Info:
use this kernel at your own risk. Flashing it the wrong way might brick your device. I'm not responsible for any software/hardware damage.
This kernel is based on top of erorcun's 3.10 kernel. erorcun has spent an enormous time working on this project and he deserves a huge "Thank you" for having succeeded in one of the most difficult tasks in Android development: upgrading a device to a newer Linux release.
Features:
v3 (12th December)
built with O3 optimizations
CAF CPU boosting driver (replaces cpu_input_boost - might be a temporary switch)
kernel code base updated to Linux 3.10.60
sdcardfs updates
minor miscellaneous improvements
old releases:
v2.1
minor stability fix
v2 (12th November)
kernel code base updates reverted, then re-applied only up to 3.10.54
compiled with an improved set of GCC flags
tuned AIO for SSD-only machines
v1 (30th October)
built with GCC 5, UBER Toolchain and the optimal compiler flags for Krait CPUs
kernel code base upgraded to Linux 3.10.88
power-efficient workqueues
sound control by francisconfranco
CPU voltage control
cpu_input_boost by Sultanxda
sdcardfs & f2fs support
support for both LineageOS's and Sultan's camera HALs
Compatibility
The kernel is compatible with all the Marshmallow/Nougat ROMs that use either LineageOS's camera HAL or Sultan's (a.k.a. CAF's). Just make sure you download the right version
Currently, the kernel has been tested only on LineageOS 14.1, but I'm sure the CAF build is safe to flash and works properly as well.
The kernel doesn't work on Oreo (yet)!
Download
The kernel can be download from AFH: 3.10 kernel on AndroidFileHost
Thanks to:
erorcun, franciscofranco, Sultanxda, CAF & UBER, Mecca EL.

Thank you for this.
Don't know if it's your Lineage rom or this kernel, but video that i record is really stuttery. Like very janky.
I recorded the video with the build-in snap camera.

Happens with all resolutions. I already tested Sultans Lineage as well with this kernel and the same thing happens. Don't know if it tries to record it too fast as it seems to be too quick and stutters a lot.
The Los kernel seems to work fine with video recording altough i just dirty flashed it on top of Boefflas kernel.
E:It definetly is the kernel that is causing the stutter.

I'll compare the camera driver present in this kernel and the one in Sultan's kernel, then try to fix this. Unfortunately at the moment this is the best thing we can achieve, CAF camera support had always got some small problems even in erorcun's build if I recall correctly, and these problems are inevitably "inherited" by my kernel.

Thank you for working on this, I was looking forward to release since I saw your announcement in erorcun's thread.
Firstly i tried to dirty flash kernel on top of LineageOS build (N) by idprophecy, since i got positive experience changing kernels (3.4 ones) this way even with encrypted phone. So when i tried to boot up with new kernel, unfortunately it did not work and phone says my password is correct but encryption partition is broken and i need to hard reset.
I went to clean install, removed encryption and flash same LinOS build + your kernel. Then i encrypted phone again and everything went fine. However now my TWRP refuses password for decrypting partitions (its was like that in early N development for bacon on many roms).
Overall perfomance is not really smooth comparing with 3.4 kernels, but i didnt bothered to play with kernel setting.
Also i cant get MTP working, phone only charging via usb and PC (Windows) cannot see its memory.
I know this report is probably useless without kmsg logs, but i didnt have time to pull them off, so sorry about that. I try do it later

Definitely would need a log, to see what the issue is, with your experiences.
I've been alpha and beta testing this kernel, and I'm not experiencing any of the problems you and other users are describing. Clean install @idprophecy LOS14.1, flash this kernel, reboot back to recovery and flash MagiskSU, enjoy an ultra responsive OPO.

I faced the same MTP problem when I started developing this kernel several months ago. But I'm sure it appeared at a later stage of development. So MTP shouldn't be an issue as of now. Also, according to @Mecca EL, there should be a substantial performance improvement.

So can you confirm MTP is working on this kernel? What about video recording? Is it lagging or not? I still haven't had enough time to thoroughly try my own kernel :/

I've not set encryption. I've seen way too many problems with that across almost all android devices. I'll see if it's not too much trouble to set and test for you, if I'm able to revert to unencrypted easily.

Well i am using encryption since early MM and not a single problem if developer of rom and kernel did his work fine. Biggest payoff its hit battery.
Unfortunately you cant revert encryption without formating whole internal storage, so its a little bit complicated with backups and etc

[Kernel][EAS][OOS-N] Helix Kernel

Helix Kernel for the OnePlus 5!
For OOS-N
​
Code:
Disclaimer: Despite everything being tested before release, anything can go wrong, and the one held responsible shall be you and you only. Don't come crying that your phone ate your cat after flashing my kernel, because, needless to say, I will just be blown away laughing at you.
Objective:
To provide a more battery-oriented kernel based on the rock solid EAS-based RenderZenith kernel, by my fellow developers and mentors @RenderBroken and @joshuous and, as well as anyone else on XDA probably, to learn and encourage others to learn more about EAS - the latest endeavour from Google, Linaro, ARM and many others to improve both the efficiency and performance of Android powered devices.
Features:
-> Based on the wonderful RenderZenith kernel
-> Up-to-date with latest EAS changes, as long as they are stable enough (currently at EAS r1.4)
-> Built with Linaro 6.3.1
-> Added support for a new experimental governor pwrutilx, in an attempt to improve battery life
-> Added support for Wake Gestures, Sound Control, KCAL Control and LED Control
-> Merged as much as possible from Google's latest Pixel devices
Installation:
1- Download latest build from the download link below
2- Reboot into recovery mode
3- Backup existing /system and /boot partitions
4- If stock OOS kernel is not installed, reflash OOS with no wipes
5- Flash latest zip file
6- Reboot
7- Profit!
Download:
Google Drive: here
Credits:
Massive thanks to @Funk Wizard and Mr Adam Krisko for giving me the opportunity to develop for such a great device
Loads of thanks to @ZeroInfinity for his massive help :highfive:
Thanks to my mentors @RenderBroken and @joshuous for their equally massive help, couldn't have done it alone
Thanks to my fellow teammates @CharliesTheMan @DeeZZ_NuuZZ @p50kombi
@Kyuubi10 @TotallyAnxious @RogerF81 for helping me pass through my hardest times
Note: OP still subject to changes (WIP)

Awesome! I'll be trying this out on Stock OOS (no mods).

Excelent Kernel, no problem for here, fluid, smooth and fast. Waiting for battery duration for tomorrow. [emoji1303][emoji41][emoji1303]
Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A5000 mediante Tapatalk

Awesome.. Currently using renderzenith. Gonna try this now

Nice to see your work finally here mate

so tempted to try...

Currently on latest stock OOS w/o any type of root, encrypted, runs smoothly, but have that "Unable to turn on Wifi" bug.
Tried flashing the no-verity zip which usually fixed up that bug for me, got stuck at the boot logo, then I tried an older no-verity zip and got stuck at the boot animation.
Flashed OOS (wiped dalvik & cache, and system) booted up fine and already connected to wifi, rebooted back to recovery(blu_spark v49), flashed the kernel, and booted up and found wifi off already.
Is there anything I can try to fix this?

Which one will give more battery optimisation - renderzenith or helix kernel - with AKT??

It will be more or less the same . Because when the script is applied it will change the governor and the values so result should be the same .

Right not using render Zenith.

This is awesome, finally we've got both your kernel and AKT for the cheeseburger and I know there is lot more to come. All the best buddy, I look forward to the development.

@Mostafa Wael glad to see you taking your first step in kernel development! Looking forward for more

I just wanted a post here xD well done mate! Glad to see you in the kernel devving scene!

That's a very weird issue. I have tested the kernel on stock official OOS 4.5.14 and I don't have any issues with the WiFi... I use Magisk 14.0 stable, encrypted as well. The only thing that is different is the recovery but I don't see why would flashing the kernel using a different recovery would break WiFi. Nevertheless I will have a closer look asap. Thanks for your report!

AKT is compatible with RenderZenith and Helix kernel, as long as you use schedutil as the CPU governor [for both clusters]. However, if you chose to install Helix Kernel and use pwrutilx as the CPU governor, AKT won't be compatible.
P.S. pwrutilx is already battery oriented

Would anybody like to share the results ?

[KERNEL][Oreo/P]Ether Kernel

Ether
The kernel for enthusiasts
This kernel is built BY a ROM enthusiast FOR a ROM enthusiast.
The features will always revolve around customization and fluidity.
For now; the kernel includes a SafetyNet patch and KCAL patches to provide easy access to custom color profiles.
The main idea is upstream stability, and ROOT-ability. This kernel can be flashed to the latest android P preview, followed by the latest Magisk beta to obtain root on the latest developer preview.
The Idea
This kernel is meant to be absolutely bear-bones MINIMAL.
In an ideal world, this would mean a safety-net patch, custom cross-compiler/toolchain, and bare-minimum quality-of-life patches (like KCAL for night-light/blue-light-filter).
Requests
You may DM me with feature requests, and I'm sure I will compile a custom kernel for you with the features you request, however I cannot guarantee you a place in the master branch of my Ether kernel. This is simply because this is meant to be absolutely barebones.
Source
The source code is available at my github here. I encourage you to poke around and try to build your own kernel with your own custom patches. It's a very rewarding experience and I'm sure 'hackers' will love to play around with your builds.
I have attached some releases here, I'm sure, but the latest release will always be available at my github releases

If you're on a custom ROM you sometimes need to remove the dtbo.img file from the zip. I think I'm using an older version of Anykernel. I'll add an updated zip to the OP in a few minutes to see if that sorts it out.

Remember this is a beta release, althought I've been using it for more than a week and it's working perfectly.
If you experience any bugs, panics or so, please report full logs to me (logcat and dmesg, you can look in /sys/fs/pstore)
Installation:
You can flash it on top of OFFICIAL 3.18 LOS also you can always go back within a dirty flash.
For safety reasons always perform a backup of your important data!
Features:
This is well-known LOS, none of the functionalities have been altered.
Build is running 4.4.189 kernel with many improvements over 3.18, it will keep this device alive for upcoming Android releases.
Kernel is suited with initial bug fixes, however, it's a stock kernel without any advanced tweaks. It's built with CLANG (!).
Working:
Probably everything!
Not working:
Kernel is permissive
Temporary MTP fix (I didn't have enough time to investigate it well):
Developer settings -> Default USB conf -> MTP -> connect cable -> profit
READ ONLY IF YOUR DEVICE IS ENCRYPTED:
There is an incompatibility between 3.18 and 4.4 kernels, you have to flash new TWRP with 4.4 kernel, otherwise your data partition will be DAMAGED!
Nevertheless there could be a need to full wipe your /data (magic Format Data button in TWRP) so perform a FULL BACKUP.
Download:
LineageOS zip
TWRP
Future development:
Device tree will be created from scratch over new Qualcomm tag to get rid of old junk. Full Treble compability will be provided.
More kernel bug fixes
Vendor update
FAQ:
Can I install XXX ? Does it support XXX ?
- It's still LOS, it supports everything what stock LOS does.
Can't you ship kernel package only?
- No, ROM has to be modified to meet 4.4 requriements. You can't flash 4.4 kernel on top of 3.18 ROM.
But why 4.4? Do I need it?
- More fixes, more performance, more support. If you want, search for kernel changelog.
EAS?
- Not now, there are more important things to work on.
If you want to buy me a coffee, please consider donating, I've put much effort to make it working.

@xNombre great job!
I'll be testing your ROM in the future for sure. Looks very promising.
It would be great if you pulled the Floppy Kernel mods to tweak your 4.4 kernel
(Just my wish)
However, congratulations man.

I really appreciate your effort I would love to test your ROM But I only want to know 2 things before if someone can help.
1. Can I use it as daily driver?
2. Android Auto is working?
3. Will I need to do clean flash for future updates? Atleast for couple weeks.
Thanks

I'm using it for two weeks and no problems here.
If Android Auto is working on official LOS it will for for mine, too.
Nope, not for now.
#edit
Here is the new kernel you can flash on top of my LOS. (DON'T FLASH IT ON ANYTHING ELSE)

Changelog:
add exFAT and NTFS
fix problems with wakelocks
use LZ4 for ZRAM
debloat a bit
skip sync for better battery

@xNombre What is the reason behind choosing 4.4 instead of a newer LTS version like 4.9 or 4.14? Or was the decision out of your hands?

Damn, do you think it's easy to port it on 4.14? For small group of users? Totally for free?
Two devices were fried with 4.9 kernel test version and in result I've spent many many hours of work for nothing.
Och, and remember, I had to buy a new mobo to restore my dd.
msm8996 has official support of 4.4 kernel and that's enough. I won't go any further, even if it's possible.

Whoa, calm down, mate. I just wanted to know the rationale. Knowing that msm8996 supports 4.4 is good enough for me. :good:
Sorry to hear about the two damaged devices, though. That must have been extremely frustrating.

Lots of love for 4.4 kernel.

Hello
Thanks for this amazing work.
I have a question (probably stupid) will voWifi work better than with a 3.18 kernel or there is no relationship between kernel and voWifi?

Thank you for your work. This is quite big actually.

Thx

There it no correlation between kernel and RIL. No changes here. Maaybe sth nice will happen with new vendor blobs but you have to wait for it.

great job, it heats a lot less than the miui .. today it's only the first day but it seems to me that the battery lasts much longer !!
