The following versions with changelog are available:
* boot-tetra-LDZ22D-r5.img
Enable ZRAM to increase the available virtual memory space
Enable KSM
Configure the interactive cpufreq governor better
Add bfq io scheduler (although it's not being used any more)
Fix cfq to be more performant for SSDs
Modify the Android Low Memory Killer to work correctly with swap enabled
Note: this combined with enable zram seems to fix one of the major 5.1 battery drains for me. Please let me know if that's not the case for you.
* boot-tetra-LDZ22D-r3.img
Disable modules (free up more kernel memory)
Disable extra debugging (free up more kernel memory)
Disable NFS (fre up more kernel memory)
Enabled compiler optimizations to speed up the kernel (uses more memory)
Disable "adaptive low memory killer" (seems like the stock kernel is killing too many processes, this may help that)
* boot-tetra-LDZ22D-r2.img
Updated to Linux 3.10.86
Enable all 4 cores
Installation:
* Reboot to fastboot and then
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot-tetra-LDZ22D-r<whatever>.img
.
Warnings:
* This probably breaks your ability to accept OTA updates.

Thanks for posting! Watch is charging now; but while it charges... any anticipated impact on battery life either way? And its probably worth noting if this will result in having to reset the watch or not..

Awesome! Thanks! gonna try this one out later today

I am not sure on battery life because I'm running a newer version than what I have released...
The next version: I have used it for 7 hours while out at an amusement park with my family and it is down 20% (just less than 3% per hour). I'm actually hoping I have fixed the massive random battery drain in this unreleased version too, but only time will tell for sure.

Hmm.. thinking i might wait to give this unreleased version a try...
Thanks for the update!

Thank you for greate works!
r3 works fine. Good response and battery life no problem.

I haven't been able to find a copy of the stock kernel for LDZ22D, only for LWX48p.
Any chance you could post please.

Legend, Just flashed so will report back..
Any chance on setting to govenor to hotplug like it was on my LG G Watch, so it only uses the cores it needs when it needs?
Thanks for your work!

As far as I could tell, the bcm SoC in here is very different. It has very different dormant states used to simulated hot-plugging and when I tried to do my own hotplugging, I found that the hardware would sometimes hang and you had to hard reboot it. If you ran it without the hardware hanging then hot-swapping the cores actually made battery life worse. It seemed like the power consumption was the same regardless of the number of cores online.
After wasting a lot of time on that, I'm not planning on trying again as I think it's a dead-end.

OK cool, Very glad you did the work for the new kernel...
Thanks so much

Kernel seems to be working quite well so far, I have noticed my arm getting hot now and again, but thats to be expected with the extra cores...
is R3 the "unreleased" build you are talking about in your early posts?
Thanks

Nope, that was r4 which I never released because it didn't actually fix the bad battery drain I was trying to fix. The bad battery drain that I was hitting is caused by memory running out and android constantly killing and then starting and then killing and then starting the google framework. I thought I had fixed that by enabling ZRAM and KSM (aka, following the low-memory device best practices that Google publishes) but it didn't because the ALMK seems to be stupid. I fixed that in r5 which I just released.

New version released:
* boot-tetra-LDZ22D-r5.img
Enable ZRAM to increase the available virtual memory space
Enable KSM
Configure the interactive cpufreq governor better
Add bfq io scheduler (although it's not being used any more)

Note: this combined with enable zram seems to fix one of the major 5.1 battery drains for me. Please let me know if that's not the case for you.

On the watch, go to settings, click on about, and then you will find the build number.

In the description I don't see if this kernel include recovery.

I know, and the next question is if you can add, twrp into the ramdisk ?
I have now flashed the kernel and the watch is now smoother i like it.
Many thanks for your work. Keep it uptodate

Nope, but you can flash twrp independently of the kernel. They each have their own ramdisk.

So, with the new firmware rolling out, will we need to revert kernels (if so... anyone have the stock link?) to get the OTA?

There is a simple explanation for that(just press that cute button)! ​
See,Unjustified Dev,the developer who brought CyanogenMod to our beloved device,makes pure CyanogenMod builds which are as close to pure CyanogenMod as one can be. ​
On the other hand,there is the CM thread by Aleks Dev,in which the builds I made in the past have a modified kernel(aka. ARDE kernel).​
Now,since Unjustified Dev asked us not to overwhelm his thread with our own builds,I decided to make a thread to end the cycle of confusion! ​
This rom,in theory,should support almost all variants,be it 6045Y,6045I,6045K,etc.​

Any way to get rid of the second sim card in status bar? I managed to in another ROM where I had it up there but I forget how.

Unfortunately, battery drain is still present, all cores are on at max clock & no way of underclocking. It just reverts back to max clock.
EDIT: Disabling mm-pp-daemon fixes the problem.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or is it phone specific?

Mine aren't doing that. They're actually under clocking more so but my CPU temp is high, as usual with anything but stock

I get "Failed to sysMapFile '<nameofzip>.zip' " when trying to install in twrp (wiped system, cache and dalvik)

Are you sure you actually flashed my build?
The mm-pp-daemon problem is only on the new kernel,and this kernel is far away from the one Unjustified Devs builds use. So,its impossible for mm-pp-daemon to be overloading.
Second of all,battery life is good for me. Try reflashing the whole build completely(wipe data,system,cache,dalvik and flash the rom)
And also install L Speed and enable all its tweaks.
Third,I will make a custom boot.img which recognises the 6045K model as a single-sim phone,removing the SIM section in Settings,allowing people to use their CM themes without having that SIM section icon unthemed. )

One of these Roms that I flashed I think all I did was reboot and the other signal bar went away. On this current update that didn't work BUT sim settings is gone from my settings menu, just shows mobile settings.

Before enabling thundercharge read this first.
Must Read
Use it only when you are not planning to use your phone with the charger plugged in.I have kept it off as default because i do not recommend to use your phone while charging with Thundercharge enabled cause it might cause some hardware issues, break charging drivers or in the worst case scenario you'll have a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 experience yourself.
Got some problems with fastcharge not working or the values are not sticking?
If Thundercharge isn't working then navigate to Thermal tab in Kernel Adiutor and disable VDD Restriction then enable Core Control.
If the values are not sticking then use this kernel adiutor.
Charging Tests
Test 1
Tested percentage -> From 56 to 100
Average mA -> 1100
Battery temp -> 36 when plugged in and 39 when pulled out.
Cpu idle temp -> 46-49, 51 max.
Time Taken -> 1:20hrs
Test 2
Tested percentage -> From 25 to 100
Average mA -> 1200
Battery temp -> 36 when plugged in and 39 when pulled out.
Cpu idle temp -> 46-49 max.
Time Taken -> 2:15hrs
Kernel Settings?
I prefer to use stock kernel settings but if you want more battery then change the governor to conservative(That's what i use BTW because i am a very moderate user) it might lag so i will just ignore those whinny comments about lags.
How to use the features that are implemented in the kernel?
Download kernel adiutor from playstore or from given link and Explore!.
Having problems? Anything you wanna ask? Mention me on your comment or Send a message on Telegram at @ShadowReaper1 .

This guide will be updated shortly.
How To Build Your Own Kernel?
*Each Step Is Very Important Be Sure To Follow Each Steps And Do As I Said.
*You Are Gonna A 64bit Linux OS Any Will Do I Use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
*Let's Setup Your Build Environment.
*Open Terminal(ctrl+alt+T).
*Now Type "sudo apt-get update" Then Hit Enter And Let It Complete.
*Refer To This Awesome Guide By @akhilnarang To Automatically Install All The Proprietary Things.
*Where "<name-of-script>" Type "ubuntu1604linuxmint18.sh" If You Have Ubuntu 16.04 Then Hit Enter And Let It Complete.
*You'll Need Kernel Sources Again Open Terminal And Type "git clone https://github.com/ShadowReaper1/android_kernel_asus_Z010D.git" And Let It Complete It'll Take A While Depends On Your Internet Speed.
*Now To Compile The Kernel Download A arm64/aarch64 Toolchain You Can Use Any Gcc 4.9 Toolchain I Prefer Google or UBER Toolchain.
*Open Kernel Directory It Should Be Named Like "android_kernel_asus_Z010D" And Open build.sh And Edit The Parts Where "change" Is Written According To Your Toolchain Path And Cpu Cores After Editing Save It.
*It's Time To Compile The Kernel Open Terminal Inside Kernel Directory And Type "bash build.sh" or "./build.sh" Then Sit Back And Wait For It To Complete And You'll Find Your Kernel.zip inside "base_files" Folder.
*What To Do Next? Flash It .
*Add Features As You Like And Fix Bugs.
*Don't Come To Me Crying How To Add This And That I Won't Help In That Matter See Other Kernel's Of Other Devices With Same Specifications Use That As Reference And Cherry Picks Features From Them Resolve The Conflicts For More Information Refer To This Excellent Guide By @eagleeyetom.
*One More Thing Leave A Like And Press That Thanks Button .

Welcome to Kermit Kernel.
Kermit Kernel is intended to be installed on AOSP and uses Anykernel2 to do so. I wanted to share my work with all of you and also provide a smooth, customisation experience for you. This project was inspired by kylothow's work on AOSP and Kernels and big thanks to him for helping me in the beginning!

FEATURES
- Based on DQIC Sources
- Powersuspend 1.7
- Asynchronious Fsync from HTC
- Blu_Active with modifications and such
- Boeffla Wakelock Blocker
- djb77's latest toolchain optimised for our devices
- Turn CRC off or on
- Init.d is supported

I can take requests of course, don't be shy
I just want the kernel to be in favour of what seems good by users!
What is Anykernel?
You can skip this if you don't want to know how it works.
Kernels tend to have a fully built boot image ready, it just flashes everything and it may not PATCH the necassary files. This means you're gonna have to create a different boot image for different roms such S8 Ports, Note FE Ports and AOSP ROMS. Things such as compatibility maybe an issue also because new things may not be supported by old things (Newer RAMDISK on an older ROM).
That's when Anykernel comes into play. It only includes the zImage (actual prebuilt kernel), dtb (the instructions for hardware stuff), and patches used ontop of the stock ramdisk. It takes the previous/stock kernel, replaces dtb and zImage and then continues to patch the ramdisk. Voila, it's done. It makes it easier for the devs to work on the kernel and has better compatibility! It does come with it's disadvantages, It can't be flashed ontop of other custom kernels that have modifications in the ramdisk. The patch and ramdisk will cause some trouble because there interefering with each other alright!

How do I install this?
If you already have AOSP with it's stock kernel.
1) Reboot into recovery and flash it like normal
If you have AOSP with a custom kernel like PRIME, Prophecy or Primal.
1) Go to the AOSP ZIP you installed, extract boot.img from there.
2) Boot into recovery, flash the boot image. Don't forget to switch the option from ZIP to IMG if you can't find it in the directory you extracted it from.
3) Then go back to home screen in recovery, and go flash Excel Kernel
I really don't need to explain this in detail and such because if you got here it mean's you know how to install AOSP ROMS. It's pretty simple.

I'm very interested in using your kernel just wondering about the battery life and thermal issues. Whenever I play games it just heats up like crazy in aosp and battery life suffers coz of inefficiency. Just wondering if you've fixed these issues.

In AOSP, those issues are not gonna dissappear but you should see a notable difference. Theres things like hero-common and such I cant fix.

I'll be trying out your kernel tonight

Ayy

Omg....Thermal issue has been pretty much fixed 0.0 however using stock settings did cause system shutdown when running geekbench. Needed to under clocked it significantly but it's so early so its amazing. Will use it the next couple of days and test for battery life

Alright, if you could tell me any sorta info related to the crash i can attempt to fix it

Its alright, ill try recreating your scenario.

a few Misc questions
Hello,
What is typical battery life by default for the Kermit Kernel?
I'm not a gamer so don't do overclocking or highly intense graphics, for me good battery is essential, is there ways I can increase battery longevity?
Does the Kermit Kernel support fast charging by default or must it be enabled?
Does Kermit have support for VoLTE/HD voice and Wifi calling by default or can that be compiled in?
Lastly, does Kermit Kernel have support by default for the doubletap 2 wake feature (originally pioneered by the LG phones, the G2 I believe was first), or can it be compiled in?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hi,
First of great work! I'll be installing the kernel any minute now. I also wonder if it's possible to DT2W in the kernel. Have tried it myself but got lost fairly quick...
Keep up the good work!
Jules.

dt2w?
Hi,
I'd like to know how you atempted dt2w and where you got stuck?
DM me if you want.
What is the current status of kermit?
Thanks.
Dave.

It's in haitus

Phone dies for no apparent reason, usually twice a day. It's completely dead. I have to plug it in for the phone to respond and then I can turn it back on. Phone can be on 100% and be doing the easiest of tasks, and it will happen. Any help is appreciated.

Hey your latest version is running pretty smooth on AICP!! Nice work!! I'll update this post if I encounter any bugs.

I can confirm that your kernel is working on LineageOS 15.1 Nightly 09/04/2018. However, the system lags and stutters a lot when on light usage e.g. opening apps, background tasks or Play Store app installations. There have been several rebases on LineageOS 15.1 in the past Nightlies so maybe there is something not quite right. I couldn't really debug it, I just wanted to let you know

Pie time -

Hope to update it more frequently.
Changes -
lots of changes for better battery and performance.
Go check and explore with KA/ExKM for options I have added. Sry didn't had time to post all the changes.
-thanks

Working perfect with MSM xtended.

Interesting.
What are the differences from other kernels that can run in oreo and pie?
Why is it meant for pie only?
Any noticeble improvements we should expect from this as compared to other kernel?

This is a non-eas kernel. And my prime focus is on battery without loosing much performance. Also i like to have different profiles or options in kernel for users to play around according to their usage.
Next build will have spectrum support to make life easy

Ok this is promising. After i installed, i noticed significant increase in smoothness. However i am.not sure if this just just placebo effect. But this is really interesting. I will use the kernel in few days and observe how it affects the battery and also the overall performance of the rom woth this kernel.
Keep it up!
