Advanced Stock ICS Kernel for Xperia SHere is a kernel based on the Stock ICS kernel with some features which come from DoomLord's GB kernel.
Features
autorooting
CWM recovery (with reboot recovery support)
init.d support (thanks DoomLord)
TUN/TAP driver
Download links
Build 17 (Fastboot)
Build 17 (CWM)
Build 16 (Fastboot)
Build 16 (CWM)
Prerequisites
An unlocked bootloader: Tuto here.
A stock ICS ROM (6.1.A.0.452 to 6.1.A.2.55). Don't expect this kernel to work with CM9/10.

DoomLord : many thanks to him for its kernel and all his scripts.
championswimmer and sminki for their help
FreeXperia team for their work on CM
makes it perfectly start does not make any errors
greetings and thanks
yes it boots!
(maybe you can help with my Question here )
Hey, I also have tested several times to include recovery, but withut succes, didn't get any further then a booting kernel without recovery or vibration and LED on to enter recovery but no entering recovery and kernel that doesn't boot.
Please pm me if you want to work together, I saw your kernel is from ICX team? I know nick very well so I'd would be a pleasure to work with you too

Welcome Champ, good to see you mate.
I will leave the thread here as knowing you, you will have a kernel ready for us in a few hours.:fingers-crossed:
thanks for the test guys... so now i'm diving into including recovery....
good to know i could pull off kernel.elf editing in my first attempt lol
@colossus if not in hours, then definitely within 1 or 2 days
EDIT :
can someone send me the kernel.elf from FXP122 cm9 ??
will save me the time to download the whole ROM
This is sweet, good job!!

cool.. well that's a hell of a lot easier than the manual route I was taking. This was my goal, but for personal rather than pseudo "xda glory" as I'm working with DooM's stuff I didn't feel right posting it without his permission, but he's probably too busy to care
go for it championswimmer :victory:
Excuse my noob-ish question, but... what's the difference between a 'stock' kernel with recovery and a completely custom kernel like DoomLord's? Is it to do with core frequencies/governors?

Frequencies and governors are one possible customicing for kernels, for the most users the most important thing. also Kernel modifing can allows you init.d support, undervoltscripts and also allows (or denies) MSC support... and, for shure, clean out some tings, make things more efficiently and and and... a dev is nearly totaly free to create a very customiced kernel with or without special Driver support or so

using someone's work just because 'he's too busy to care' is not the aim which we at xda strive for ...
i've already talked with Doomlord regarding using his recovery... and as long as I clearly mention it's his work and provide links back to his thread, he has no issues with anyone else using it...
(and i'll surely do that ^^ when i release a kernel containing his recovery, if i ever do that)

so this kernel has the ro.secure property in default.prop set to 0??
Tnaks mate for your job!
tested right now the test version and the sony logo fades and reboots
can you plug it into a pc and run a logcat from command prompt and give me the output of any comes??
UPDATE: I really no longer have the time to update the custom kernels, I now work 16 hours days, 5-6 days weekly. With travelling time added, I barely have time to sleep.
Battery optimization is about choosing the right rom, tuning cpu governor interactive, disabling Google Play Services (use microG & tune GCM), forcing doze immediately, disabling ads, using black/white screen, app optimization (disable analytics, instant messaging), plus many other things.
Identify the rom, the base (aosp or lineage), can choose to use any of the kernels below if it is based on the same base. A backup of your original rom's kernel is in the rom.zip file, simply extract it and restore if encounter any problems.
I have created a guide here
(Please don't quote the original 1st post when replying, as everything is in progress, not written yet,
Please don't ask for ETAs, I'm only doing this in my limited spare time, thank you)
My kernels are NOT flash-and-forget, please READ through post #1, then CONFIGURE using Kernel Adiutor Mod (see post #2)
[Z00L][KERNEL]Enhancements For Increased Battery Backup v1 the original thread (now locked/closed)
DISCLAIMER
I bear no responsibility towards any malfunction of your device. Use my kernels at your own risk.
BACKUP YOUR PARTITIONS!!!
Before attempting to flash any kernel/rom, backup your critical partitions! It's meaningless to ask for help when disaster strikes. Follow the links below, root is required.
Partition Dump - Complete STEP 1
Partition Backup by wanam (save as both .img & tar.gz, plus the 1st 100MB - see 'spanner tool')
There's no need to backup the System or Data partition.

Hi OnePlus 5 peeps!
Today (June 27th), I graduated from high school!
In more important news, I finished upstreaming the OnePlus 5 kernel to the latest stable kernel version...
Whoa, what is this?
This is my personal kernel that I run as the OnePlus 5 is my daily driver.
I will not claim my work as the best at anything, but just know that I would not do anything to this kernel that could potentially ruin my own device.
Additionally, this is the kernel that comes built into CarbonROM.
There are three versions of this kernel:
AOSP aka AOSP/LOS build - Flash this on any source built custom ROM except for CarbonROM
CR-5.1 aka CarbonROM build - Flash this on CarbonROM
OOS aka OxygenOS build - Flash this version on OxygenOS
Main features:
Upstreamed Linux kernel version, went from v4.4.21 -> v4.4.79
Backported random driver from Linux v4.12 (latest and greatest)
Backported scheduler from Linux v4.9 (latest android kernel branch)
Upstreamed F2FS driver from f2fs-stable/linux-4.4.y
KGSL driver improvements
MDSS driver improvements
SOC driver improvements
Built using Optimization Level 2
Added maple io scheduler (default) by frap129
Added adreno idler by arter97 with tweaks from frap129
Vibrator motor control by flar2
Kcal control driver from EX kernel
Many wakelocks disabled
Switched to power efficient workqueues across the kernel
Built with Google's latest stable gcc-4.9
Anykernel 2.0 by osm0sis! Compatible with all OxygenOS based roms
Download:
Latest builds
OxygenOS boot.img
How to install:
1. Reboot into the latest stable TWRP build
2. Download kernel zip and make sure it is in your internal storage (/sdcard)
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. Double check here to see if you require any additional instructions
5a. Install -> Install image -> select oxygen-4.x.x-boot.img -> swipe to install
5b. Install -> select CarboniteKERNEL-XXX-Rx-OP5-N.zip -> swipe to install
6. Reboot
DISCLAIMER!
If you don't understand my instructions, that's too bad >
If you are unsure about what this thing is, I highly advise you do some research before going through with installing...
Updates will come as regular as I want them to, don't ask me when I'll release cause you'll know when it comes out >:'D

While this reserved post is not being used, enjoy this video! (Find me at 0:50s and twice at 2:54 :silly
For OxygenOS users:
Code:
[B]If you are on OxygenOS and are coming from another custom kernel:[/B]
Download the latest stock.4.X.X-boot.img
You [B]must[/B] flash the boot.img before flashing the kernel!
[B]If you are on OxygenOS are switching to a different custom kernel:[/B]
Download the latest stock.4.X.X-boot.img
You [B]must[/B] flash the boot.img before switching kernels!
For AOSP/LOS/RR/etc users:
Code:
[B]If you are coming from another custom kernel:[/B]
You [B]must[/B] reflash your ROM build before flashing this kernel!
[B]If you are on AOSP/LOS/RR/etc and are switching to another custom kernel:[/B]
You [B]must[/B] reflash your ROM build before flashing another kernel!
Why is it like this?
I have included some ramdisk modifications that set the default settings for this kernel. When you come from a different custom kernel, the ramdisk changes from that kernel may conflict with the changes I intend to have. Likewise when you switch to a different kernel; my ramdisk changes may conflict with the changes they intend to have. When you flash the stock boot.img, it replaces the modified ramdisk with a clean one, removing these conflicts.
And it's here, get it while it's hot folks! First upstreamed kernel for the OP5
Thanks for joining the party :highfive:

Congratulations on the graduation buddy,
Just flashed and I had charging cycling on and off (using dash charger in car on freedom v1.1). Flashed EX and charging is fine. Need charge ATM but maybe a little later I can help you get a log.

Hmmm never noticed this... I guess the graduation drinks are getting to me. I'll re-upload a stable build without upstreaming as that's definitely the culprit.

I can confirm the issue because while I was bringing up the upstream branch I ran into this issue with dash charging and I thought I solved it. Time to debug!

It's because OOS has a hal that already uses a switch for dt2w.
New update, still looking into the gestures issue.
However, Dash Charging is fixed on the upstream kernel so here it finally is! I also added a bunch of sched patches, a thermal patch, and some other misc stuff from the latest CAF branch.

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!

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?

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 .

Should I use the kernel alone or with AKT for more battery optimisation??
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!

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?

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!

Which one will give more battery optimisation - renderzenith or helix kernel - with AKT??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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 ?

LineageOS 16.0 for Xiaomi Mi 5 with 4.4 kernel
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 !!
