Introduction
Buying Mi 5 gave me opportunity to spread wings and maintain a (hopefully) better version of Linux kernel for this device.
The idea is to provide two levels of modification, one - the most up-to-date kernel upstreamed with official Linux changes (also Android) repo to provide bug-free and stable experience, second - tweaks and additional features placed in top of upstreamed version to give blazing efficiency and battery friendly experience.
I came with the idea while looking onto linux repo - there are so many fixes and optimizations done to the code which gonna never come up to any Android device. So why not to try and pick some of these changes?
Android device is one of many for which Linux kernel is developed. Adding hardware specific changes will give extra performance and battery backup as it's going to use the phone architecture better instead of generic implementation.

Compatibility
It is LOS forked repo so any LOS-based ROM should be compatible (not MIUI compatible).
Do not use it with any custom ROM or additional modifications as I'm not supporting them (and will not).
Of course, you can try flashing, if it works - enjoy.
Downloads
You can use 'Download' tab in the top or download from AFH .
Installation:
- download kernel zip and necessarily check MD5!
- boot into recovery
- flash the zip (always flash on clean ROM!!)
- (optionally you can wipe cache/dalvik)
- reboot to the system and taste the madnesss
Soda-Upstream - stock kernel upstreamed with official repos as much as it is possible.

Before you exit:
Don't get dishearten because of 'poor' features list. Main advantage of this kernel is upstream of many parts. Changes in Soda are chosen wisely, I implement thinks that are supposed to benefit. You don't need XYZ, you need Soda
Known issues:
Upstream:
None
Soda:
- Battery idle drain (investigation in progress)
- Speaker gain is broken
FAQ:
Could you add XYZ feature?
I will not add features I personally think are useless or unneeded. I can only promise I'll take it into consideration. If you're so single-minded about that just fork repo and pull request - I'll pick it gladly.
Could you upstream XYZ?
Ok, upstreaming is nice unless you fall into conflicts or totally new code structure. Don't expect me to update the kernel up to 4.13, haha! I'll keep in mind what you're asking me for, but if you're so desperate about this I'm waiting for pull request .
Why should I choose yours upstreamed version?
Don't expect it to change your Mi 5 into S7 edge =)
Think about like that - some time ago Google forked Linux kernel at version 3.18.31 and added their changes, then Qualcomm forked it and added their changes, then Xiaomi forked and added their changes. There are a lot of bugs, memory leaks and other bad stuff in here and probably nobody will take care about it... Oooch, except me! My aim is to keep the code as most up-to-date as possible - so without rewriting a half of proprietary drivers.
Does it make any sense?
In my opinion - yes.
Our phone will be more stable, not vulnerable to newest 0-days and hopefully a bit faster and battery friendlier. The key is bug-free optimized code; magical tweaks do not always take the first place in making a kernel better. As of my experience using upstreamed version gives more battery and smoothness!
"My phone freezees help meeee!!!!!!!11oneoneone..."
Description, logcat, kmesg or GTFO.
Could your changes damage my device?
I don't take any responsibility for broken devices, firing from work or nuclear wars. It's a hobby project maintained in my free time. I carefully pick up changes not to mess up anything and add features that are checked and provided to work correctly. There is a small range of cases when you can loose your phone completely, typically it will just freeze and reboot.
Where is version for MIUI and EAS?
MIUI won't be supported because Xiaomi haven't updated their repo for a long time. Building for MIUI would bring more problems than advantages.
EAS is in testing stage and will be released soon.
Remember to hit like button if you like my work as it motivates me a lot!
Play with it and post your experience please
Firmware:
Now I'm also providing updated firmware flashables.
You can easily download firmware packages from AFH .
Happy flashing!

How to tweak my kernel:
1. Charge control:
Path of all tunables is
Code:
/sys/kernel/fast_charge
You have 3 tunables as follows:
maximum_qc_current (DEFAULT: 2800) - it's very important one, its value controls QC3.0 charging current. Recently there are commons problems with screens and the assumption is that too high current causes that problem. Lowering the value would also make your battery's life longer!
force_fast_charge (DEFAULT: 0) - it's common known knob to force 900mA charging on unknown sources. I tweaked it a bit and now, if it's possible, driver will choose higher values depending on the source.
charge_limit (DEFAULT: 100) - it's very interesting one, its value controls maximum percentage of which your battery will be charged. After given limit charging will be stopped. Lowering this value could benefit in prolonged battery life as capacity wouldn't decrease that fast. Scientific researches recommend charging your battery to 80%.
3.Sound control:
You can tweak it using Kernel Adiutor.
4.Sched features:
I would like to resolve doubts connected with Arch Power. On kernel v3.18 there isn't such a feature. Cherry-picking old interface doesn't change anything in fair scheduler, the only thing you see is magic switch which does... nothing. Our kernel has feature named Arch Capacity which is *let's say* correspondent to previous one so I created two tunables - arch_capacity and arch_power. These are mirrored values so now you can enable/disable it in KA as known Arch Power but please remember that you're changing arch_capacity in fact.
My recommendation is to disable Gentle Fair Sleepers because you can save battery a bit.
You can also tweak it using Kernel Adiutor.

miui support please...

Aosp support ?

Did you add somes cpu governor ? And for you which its the best to have a better battery

Aleluya! Not much kernel variety on our mi 5, pretty thanks I will test it early dev
cheers

Download link (I've found it, but it would be better in the description)? Governors? SOT?

Great news Sir,
I hope soon we could have good costum kernel with great stability and compability with newer rom.
I wish you could support AOSP based rom too

I just started Soda developing so you have to wait sometime for custom tweaks.
According to governors I think the most important thing is to configure it nicely, sth like AKT or GovTuner does. Stock interactive is good.

AFAIK AOSP is based on LOS sources, it should work correctly

But some time it doesn't work properly on AOSP based rom, I used DragonXia as default kernel on every rom I flashed, but lately with latest release rom it's doesn't stable.
I hope you could made manually setting on/off the CPU core for better battery life, as hotplugging not save much battery life.
Overclocking was great too
I will test yours beta kernel right now Sir

CPU 0 and CPU 1 are stuck at 1593MHz.
Edit:
It seems like a restart solved it.
Edit2:
setting io scheduler to noop causes freeze.

On my phone everything works correctly.
Try typing in terminal/adb:
su
echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
If it says noop it's working...

Yes it's working now. The test-iosched scheduler caused the problem.

will you add miui 9 support? miui lack of custom kernel support. thanks for dev gemini kernel.

which features does it have? quick charge? eas ?

"disabled CPU Boost" this is real great, i guess you know what i want. waitinng for a more stable realese and then give it a try

I pushed a first beta of Soda kernel. I added a few useful features, but battery usage reduction should be significant. Try it on your own

Thanks for your work! I will try and report back when possible.

Poor scores

Thanks for your work but I noticed you repo has a lot of branches. what branch is used for AOSP? my-brood-kk I assumed. but I'm not 100% sure

Is nice to see you have your own thread now .
I'm going to test the new kernel now on jamal's RC2 and report on the usage.
Thanks!

Awesome

Cheers!

Alucard Many Thanks from Portugal for your EFFORT.
No RR anymore..

does this kernel have better performance than stock GE kernel? or same? would be awesome a tweaked linaro GE kernel :good:

Alucard you refer that latest kernel release is v2.3.4lg,
i installed but on my kernel version is 2.3.4l, i do not have "lg"
is it ok?

Alucard thanks for your kernel. Are the Bluetooth problems solved with the latest (lg) version as well?

can anyone else confirm that foldermount is operating as it should?
my folders are still not mounting, i have uninstalled and installed it again and again.

Q&A
Below I added some basic Q&A stuff which here so hopefully it will answer most of your questions!
Q: How to get into Download Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume down + power on button until you see the download mode.
Q: How to get into Recovery Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode.
Q: I get verification failed at start up!?!? My phone is broken now?
A: Yes, you have to buy a new phone now. Just kidding You did not disable force encryption in TWRP (how to do so you will find below in how to decrypt your phone).
Q: I get FRP LOCK? WHYYYYYY???
A: Very simple answer, you did not enable OEM Unlock in developer options. Now you need to flash full rom with odin again and start from scratch. But don't forget to enable OEM Unlock this time!
Q: I got FC's and other Problems with the kernel, what to do?
A: Take a logcat for me, developers use to say: without a log, it never happened . A logcat can be grapped with a PC and ADB installed, simply type: adb logcat > log.txt while your phone is connected and the error is happening.
Q: What kind of logs can I provide to help you?
A: Logcat: This one is for general infos about FC's
DMESG: this is for kernel related things
Last_Kmsg: this can be used after a random reboot
Q: How to get logs?
A: 1. Connect your phone to your pc
2. Make sure you got usb debugging enabled
3. Install Minimal ADB tool
4. After install open it and type: adb logcat > logcat.txt, adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log, adb shell cat proc/last_kmsg kmsg.log
5. Send me the file you got
Q: Which devices are supported at the moment?
A: Current supported devices are: SM-G930F/FD/W8. All other exynos models can work but are UNTESTED
Q: Is this kernel working on Snapdragon 820 variants?
A: No, sadly not.
Q: Help, I never had a code and now after installing the rom my phone asks for a password??
A: Your device is still encrypted, on step 0 it tells you to be sure you're not. So, what do you need to to in case you are still encrypted:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Select Wipe
3. Select wipe data
4. Then you manually need to type "yes" with the keyboard
5. Confirm the wipe (this will remove the encryption)
6. Reboot your recovery
Q: Is there a way to get rid of encryption which is simpler?
A: Not really, you could also wipe data with stock recovery but this is quite a big hassle so above method works better.
Q: On TWRP there is an error about /data mount, what to do?
A: Your device is encrypted, follow the above steps to get rid of your encryption.
Q: Synapse shows no UCI support!
A: Reflash kernel, a script of you may overwrite my synapse config
Q: I want to switch kernel, how?
A: Since we have systemless xposed and systemless supersu, we have patches in ramdisk of boot.img. This means you have to reflash xposed and supersu after every change of kernel!.
Q: I lost root after installing this rom. What to do?
A: All mods (like supersu, phh's root, xposed and magisk) are stored in /ramdisk of kernel boot.img. So if you flash this rom, and after this another kernel (Which has supersu included by default) you can not do much. You have to stick to the two kernels provided in rom. Also when switching kernel, you need to flash all related zips again after changing it. Last tip: Do not use magisk until you really need it for android pay!
Q: I got random reboots, heeelp!
A: This is most likely from a custom kernel, if you face random reboots please check if you have the latest kernel installed or switch back to the stock kernel included in the rom.
Q: My screen is kind of yellow/orange and the touchscreen doesn't work at all!
A: You have chosen the wrong kernel in aroma selection. Reflash the rom without any wipe selecting the right kernel version.

First! DL now and flashing! Thanks for the hard work!

Will apps like easyHome (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome) work? It uses FP as capactive home button.

Flashed and running awesome so far, haven't messed with any of the settings yet though.

Great!!!!Thank you for your works!!!!

Thanks for this kernel. I like the zzmoove governor. But if i choose him on little my phone freezes and than it reboots. At big it's ok

Zzmoove does hotplug, but the little cores can't do hotplugging. So it will reboot

Any chance that you will add..
1) ARCH_POWER
2) ROW Scheduler
3) Make Power Efficient WorkQueues user-configurable in next version
4) Trim kernel and remove useless debuggers, bloated kernel drivers and so on for making the kernel as slim and battery / performance friendly as possible
5) (Perhaps) configurable C-States (Idle states) ?
Just as some bonus, useful stuff in v2.0?

1. Arch power has been removed on mainstream kernel
2. ROW was my plan as well
3. It is enabled by default, but isn't it already tuneable?
4. This is always my goal
5. Haven't thought about that until now

Finally it's come！Will it be implement the FP function to the future build？

i don't think so coz it will totally stop the FP SVC when u flash this kernel

Another question. Can you add undervolting?

Yes it's already in the kernel but not all kernel apps can detect that. Will add stweaks and/or synapse support for this soon

How many users are there in this kernel and what is it with custom ROM?
* Go to User Statistics.
With this kernel, the following information is sent once to the developer's server at boot time.
variant, android serial number(not device serial), name of current firmware(ROM), country code, kernel version
* This information is Android apps can see without any special permissions.
* If you suspect other information transfer, open the '/res/synapse/actions/addon' file.
Description for AOSP ROMs
If you are using another developer's custom kernel, or if using ramdisk is corrupted kernel, you may encounter a bootloop or an unknown problem.
If you have a bootloop problem, flash the PRIME kernel after first flashing the builtin kernel in your ROM. (Or flash the ROM again)
This kernel is flashed AnyKernel method, for all kinds of AOSP ROM support.

How do enable donation-only add-on features?
I only receive donations from your heart.
Do not donate if you intend to unlock synapses.
If you are unable to make a donation of 5.0 USD or more due to economic reasons, please do not donate and request me to unlock Synapse. Then you can use all the functions of synapse without donation.
How to request synapse unlock
Please tell [email protected] the following:
- A matter that is difficult for you to donate(eg economically difficult countries, students without money or credit card).
- The first five letters or screenshots of the KeyCode on the Synapse's first screen.

New kernel , i'm going to test now

Tried both with my S8 ROM port.
Boots very slow
When devices i booted it takes some seconds till phone freezes and than reboots!

Sorry, my fault. MTweaks was still running what interfered.
Flashed v1.4 with stock GPU drivers. running fine so far but boot time is still longer than with other kernels.
Could you add a global slider to under volt CPU and GPU by a certain value?
EDIT:
In Synapse at "Game Tuner MOD" and "Utility" tab the last few settings are not in englisch

The global slider is hard to implement, because of the UI structure of Synapse.
If you are not comfortable with the Voltage setting, you can get the desired result by returning to Synapse after setting in MTweaks. If you do not know what I mean, try it.
What if it takes a long time to boot? If it is a symptom that only takes longer in the first Bootanimation, it will not be a problem from the second since it recreates the dalvik (ART) cache for some reason.
If it takes a long time to boot each time, it may be because used the G935F ramdisk in this kernel. I tried BatmanROM, but I did not have the problem you said.
In the next version, i will separate ramdisks by variant like v1.3.0.
Korean in the Gametuner-MOD and utility tabs are donation-only functions.
I will translate English donors if they say inconveniences.

Ok, tried that with MTweaks and noticed that it was already under volted by my previous settings.
Noticed that there is no tab to disable wakelocks. Do you plan to add this?
EDIT: for now I back to my previous kernel...sorry....
Thanks!

Kernel-level wakelocks work when requested by an Android system or app.
It is not desirable to force such requests to be ignored.
My Note4 kernel has a wakelock tab. However, it was added because of the deep-sleep problem in some variants of Note4.
If there is a deep sleep (wakelock) problem in our S7, I will add a wake-lock tab.
Again briefly, the wakelock control should not be abused. So, if there are no related problems, I will not add them.

update to v1.5.0

Thanks for supporting AOSP! ?

After flashing 1.5.0 I'm still at 1.4.0 :/

If flashing was completed and there were no errors, it is not possible.
If you rooted or unrooted the kernel after flashing, the old kernel would have been restored.
If you do not know, Flash the kernel after rooting.

Indeed, I rooted after flashing the kernel, thank you ^-^

you do a fantastic job with all the feature you added in your kernel(thunderplug,eas, pwm flicker free, etc...). v15 is very recommended

Hey man, thanks for this kernel! I tried it on AOSP for RR which boots but I noticed that flashing this kernel, disabled the option to adjust vibrate intensity. The option in Sound is there but Settings Force Closes when clicking on it. The reason I need to adjust it, is the vibration is back to really strong vibration when touching a key. Hope this details helps. On latest Prime 1.5.0

IMPORTANT:
Always make necessary backups before flashing anything. In this case backup your stock boot in recovery before proceeding.
I will only consider issues that includes clear steps to reproduce the bug, a logcat or a console ramoops (in case of random reboots) or a dmesg (for other issues), because it provides more info than just saying something doesn't work.

Reworked CPU oc/uc support to 403/499mhz levels (anything more lower shall yield no real benefit)
Updated spectrum profiles
7.0 Stock Release 1:
Some kernels have different workarounds for modules, therefore, it is recommended to flash 7.0 kernel only over your stock rom kernel. Don't flash over any other custom kernels. This is to avoid any issues with important modules such as wlan (wifi). Subsequent releases can be flashed over the same kernel's older version.
Based on NPJS25.93-14-15 sources by Motorola
Properly up-streamed up to Linux stable 3.10.108

Added all features mentioned in 1st post. (list updated in op)
Applicable updates from r7 oreo changelog were also merged.
June 14, v6.2:
Fixed mobile hotspot for both 32/64 bit
Removed conservative cpu governor
Switched too GCC 4.9 (Higher GCC versions are causing issues with data, wifi and hotspot as witnessed by some users)
Final update to katnap governor
NOTE: Since v6, I recommend using default kernel settings for CPU, GPU, clock speeds and governor profiles rest you can change. Why? read the explanation below properly...
v6 release came with spectrum app support which allows to switch between various user modes which are - Gaming, Battery, Balanced (default) and Performance. Thanks to frap129 a.k.a Joe Maples for spectrum. You can use the spectrum app to switch between various modes as per your needs with just a single tap.
For e.g. before starting a game just switch to "Gaming" mode from spectrum app to improve the game-play. After game-play is over don't forget to switch back to "Balanced" mode which is also the default. You can also choose "Battery" mode when you keep your device idle for maximum savings. If you prefer smooth user experience without worrying about battery then "Performance" mode is for you.
Both "Performance" and "Gaming" modes are battery hungry but will improve the user and gaming experience respectively so use them accordingly. Similarly don't expect great performance or smooth user experience from "Battery" mode.
"Balanced" mode is self-explanatory.
No support from my side if you're using some kind of mods that might conflict with above mentioned kernel settings. Fair enough! don't need any false reports where the problem might be because of any such mod.
Might be bitter but had to say this, don't bother reporting problems if you can't do it properly. Haven't seen a single post reporting wlan issues with logs and surprisingly I'am not a god who can guess issues from nothing. XDA is a community where users shall also contribute to make things better. Just coming here and searching for download links then complaining about stuff not working... it doesn't work this way. We don't expect much from users, we only want that if we're putting some efforts then users should also take at least some effort to give proper bug reports and feedback. For someone who doesn't know how to take logs etc. try google, you'll find tons of guides over internet and here at XDA itself. Thank you.

Added 2 more potential wakelocks to block list just in case
NOTE: Since v6 (previous) release I recommend using default kernel settings for CPU, GPU, clock speeds and governor profiles. Why? read the explanation below properly...
v6 release came with spectrum app support which allows to switch between various user modes which are - Gaming, Battery, Balanced (default) and Performance. Thanks to frap129 a.k.a Joe Maples for spectrum. You can use the spectrum app to switch between various modes as per your needs with just a single tap.
For e.g. before starting a game just switch to "Gaming" mode from spectrum app to improve the game-play. After game-play is over don't forget to switch back to "Balanced" mode which is also the default. You can also choose "Battery" mode when you keep your device idle for maximum savings. If you prefer smooth user experience without worrying about battery then "Performance" mode is for you.
Both "Performance" and "Gaming" modes are battery hungry but will improve the user and gaming experience respectively so use them accordingly. Similarly don't expect great performance or smooth user experience from "Battery" mode.
"Balanced" mode is self-explanatory.
----------------------------------------------
June 05, Release v6:
Switched to GCC 6.4-stable (only 64-bit)
Compiled with cortex-a53 tune flags
Introduced my own custom Loony governor based on interactive and franco kernel tweaks
Added spectrum app support and tuned profiles for various modes
Added 160mhz for gpu in "Battery" mode (using spectrum app)
Removed adreno idler and powersuspend (took me time to realise that these are not really necessary)

May 04, Release v5.1:
Note: Sources moved to github.
Merged updates from NPJS25.93-14-15 (Feb, 2018) moto kernel sources,
Merged updates for wlan prima driver to bring in-line with latest CAF tag LA.BR.1.3.7-05010-8976.0,
Switch back to single build for 64bits. Made compatible with all roms,
Few kernel-common updates.
April 28, Release v5:
32-bit support added!
Changes merged from CAF branch (1.3.6) and Google kernel-common
Removed CRC enable/disable toggle - We know we want CRC disabled by default to avoid ~30% performance cost. So, it doesn't make sense to have a toggle for it as users may unknowingly enable it which defeats the whole purpose of disabling it by default in the first place.
Enable 320k AAC encoding
Tuned CFQ i/o scheduler
Added touchboost which is disabled by default. Enabling it will significantly improve the performance at the cost of battery life. This feature can be enabled using kernel manager (EX kernel manager recommended)
Replaced wakeup boost with Fingerprint Boost driver.
Removed boot and boostpulse sysfs nodes from interactive governor. Neither we were using it nor it is needed, users can enable cpu-boost if needed.
Updates wlan prima (wifi) driver to latest CAF tag LA.BR.1.3.7-04410-8976.0
Using cpu_relaxed_read_long and defining relaxed version of some arm64 specific macros, and functions to improve power efficiency. (this one is only for arm64)
Some cpu-boost code clean-up. Removed migration related boost from cpu-boost. Handled by scheduler and governor now.
Added display state awareness to msm_adreno_tz gpu governor. This aids adreno_idler by reducing the overhead.
Backlight dimmer toggle (disabled, enabling this would allow to lower brightness even more)
Apr 05, Release v4.1:
Restore default gpu clocks
Sdcardfs space leak fixed,
Updates merged from google android kernel-common,
Enabled ARCH_POWER and added toggle to enable/disable the same through EX Kernel Manager,
Nuked gentle fair sleeper toggle and re-enabled gfs. Disabling it was causing cores getting stuck at max freq for most of the time,
Added wake-up boost to avoid or atleast minimise any potential wake-up delays. I've personally never faced this on Oreo but some people reported it recently,
Added some more potential wakelocks in Boeffla wakelock blocker driver,
Wlan driver updates merged from latest caf release LA.BR.1.3.7_rb1.11,
Some efforts towards improving memory management a bit.
03 March 2018, Release 4:
Added new boeffla wakelock block driver,
Added wireguard support,
Added adreno idler - ramp down GPU on idle,

You can configure that using kernel manager.
Alternative option is to use button mapper app by flar2.

i have a lag after flash this kernel. but thank you

When I play a song or a video the sound is crashing, something like cutting, I give u a log and thanks for the effort

Turbo charger doesn't work for me charges very slowly and phone heats up quickly! Any work around with kernel auditor?
I'll flash version 2 and let you know if anything changes

If ur device is at a temp of 42+°c then the turbo charging won't work, let the device cool down and it will work

im already on r1 loony kernal
how to flash r2 ??
is dirty flashing okk????
i have done a dirty flash of r2 over r1 version but ii feel very laggy n i tried reboot couple of time still little laggy
now back to r1 version
im on XT1644 version with magisk 15.1
thanks dev for your hard work????
waiting for a stable release?

Not released use the attached zip for nougat it is stabler than 9.1 but not updated in the directory. Features are more or less same.

For xt1625 users after flashing updated loony my phone hangs at unlocked bootloader warning for minutes. All you need to do is power and volume down boot into fast or bootloader mode whatever you call it and choose start again loads fine after that.
To add HDR is probably not going to ever work with xt1625 that's were the devices are different the plus has a 16 mp camera and I got a 13 mp I've got the camera to work but no HDR option like on my nexus.

Reminders:
Do not reflash magisk if already flashed (root shall be retained). Just flash the kernel zip in twrp and reboot.
Lineage users shall enable mono audio under Settings->Accessibility for audio to work.

! This kernel is based on treble tree,so make sure you are on a treble ROM !
【! From R20 , it only support 4.4 compatible ROM since we are having 4.4 kernel !】
! Some profiles from /vendor will be replaced so if you want to fully uninstall this kernel,just dirty flash your current ROM!
If you are coming from other kernels,better to do a dirty flash on your current ROM to avoid any strange problems.
Nameless Kernel Snapshots Telegram Channel
https://t.me/nameless_zukz2
You can get latest test build here
---------Notice-----------
I can say with certain flashing this kernel is safe at all.Kernel will not go on OC freqs if u dont choose OC freqs by using tools like KA.So in fact u can use this kernel as a non-OC kernel Lol.
But the kernel has a lot of settings that could cause unstable like high OC freqs (2.53/2.46/780/2.0),so its strongly recommend to test the freq you want to use before you set it for daily use.Just lock min and max freq to it and see if theres kernel panic or crashes.If everything is fine,you can choose it for daily use.Or u can try to raise voltage for it and test again.
For every device:
OC 2.26+1.68+624 is stable
For most device:
OC 2.34+1.76+710 is stable
For some device:
OC 2.41+2.0(1.86)+780 is stable
For little device:
OC 2.50+2.0+780 is stable
So if this kernel is good at performance or battery depends on ur settings.Default settings(1.8+1.3+624) prefer battery + smooth.
!!!!!Above all,DONT PLAY PUBG ON OC FREQS IF U DONT HAVE WATER COOLER!!!!!
!!!!!UNDERCLOCK FOR PUBG OR U CAN HARDLY EAT CHICKEN LOL!!!!!

Nice work.. lack of custom kernel for our device is now gone thanks to you.. I'll try when i flash treble rom but thank you anyway..

Am I dreaming? *0*

So I lock it down to 2.15 as default.You can choose 2.2/2.3 as you like.

Is voltage control available? And I think there're too little steps above the stock frequencies, and did you modified GhostPepper to include all the OC frequencies?

No voltage control.Ghostpepper has modified.

If possible to have sound control would be nice :silly::good:

! This kernel is based on treble tree,so make sure you are on a treble ROM(AEX,cosmic....) !
! Some profiles from /vendor will be replaced so if u dont trust me,backup /vendor before flashing!
