As I could check in the sources @joe2k01 didn't checkout the camera driver from Xiaomi OpenSource Kernel Source to get the OIS working. (BTW, I don't even know if that's a proper fix, but for now it's the better solution that me and @milouk could found out actually)

I've installed it on latest lost, booted fine, checking how it runs right now.
How do I use boeffla wakelock blocker?
Is there an app available or something else to control it?

Usually in kernel managers under Block wakelocks

I thought of something like that, but exkm doesn't show any difference between sphinx and pug in the block wakelock section, sphinx doesn't have boeffla wakelock blocker if I'm not mistaken so there should be more options.
I'll see if I can find another app.

Boeffla wakelock blocker is already blocking the most common wakelocks. As far as I know, Franco Kernel Manager app lets you customise boeffla wkb settings

do I need "special treatment" when upgrade from v1?
like flash stock kernel first then flash this v1.1
or just flash v.1.1 under v1?

I'm just sorry that they are really two beautiful Rom (Cosmic-HexagonOS), but the fact that there is no Offline Charging and a big problem because I jump the battery ... and for this reason I do not install it

I agree. I didn't tried it too because the thing I'm looking for isn't working (radio fm). It's actually the only thing that's keeping me from moving to nougat.
I've searched the rom on Google and it looks nice. It's actually pretty to have so many nougat roms to try and see which one's fit for us.
Any lead on how to fix radio fm? Apparently, it's not kernel related.

bug RIL and Offline Charging
Even with the RIL FIX installed

Okay this has been down for some time since that initial beta build. Sorry for the delay.
Fixed the video and audio playback issues and updated kernel to include latest changes from @Thargorsson.
I will update the OP, links and instructions soon.

Instructions:
* Flash Rom zip
* Flash the audio fix.
* Flash magisk zip.
REBOOT.
Note: I recommend microG. Use opengapps if you wish.
IMPORTANT: After reboot set up everything and download kernel auditor and configure the Hotplugs and CPU Governor.
Use 'Ondemand' as CPU Governor and disable all or use just one of the Hotplugs (Either MPDecison or MSM Hotplug)
Now you are good to go.
PS: Report any bugs with a logcat and note that flashing any custom mods or using any custom themes are your choice.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What ROMs are compatible?
A: As of July 3rd, 2018, I have confirmed the following ROMs are 100% compatible with RawWork:
Stock OS
Resurrection Remix
CosmicOS
LineageOS
This should work fine on other ROMs as well.
Q: How do I control the kernel?
A: I personally use Kernel Auditor. Feel free to use any you like.
Q: I am having an issue, can you help me?
A: I am not an amazing kernel developer but I will certainly try my best. First, start by reading the release posts, as I may make note of a particular issue. Also search the thread to see if I have discussed it before. If you see nothing, please provide me with a dmesg/last_kmsg and logcat, your ROM/kernel version, and a detailed description of the issue, following this guide. If I can't reproduce reliably, I'm not going to fix the issue.
Q: Can you add xyz feature?
A: If you link me the commits or tell me what kernel you had the feature in, I can take a look at them. I will not add anything that compromises performance. There will be no overclocking !

ABOUT:
This is my personal kernel project, which I looked to be a stable kernel for daily usage, with useful features only, and to have a half term under performance and battery life for Xiaomi msm8996 devices. Inspired by projects like Flash Kernel and ElementalX Kernel
"While I am not a super star kernel developer, I do know my way around it." (Chancellor, Nathan - 2017)
PROJECT GOALS:
Keep kernel up-to-date with lastest stable Linux Kernel version (3.18.123)
Offer the user the best balance between battery life and performance
Just useful features. Features may be included only as needed (Read FAQ section to know the features that I won't add in anyway)
FEATURES:
Here are the major features of the kernel (More details on the Github repo)
Up-to-date with the latest stable Linux Kernel version (3.18.133)
Mainline Linux patches for CFQ
Several subsystems converted to use power efficient workqueues
Hides bootloader unlock from SafetyNet (can still fail through other means)
Available to flash with AnyKernel2 (thanks to @osm0sis)
Users facing features:
KCAL color control
USB Fastcharge
Adreno Idler
Boeffla Wakelock Blocker
INSTALLATION:
Boot to recovery
Flash kernel zip
Reboot
Yay! You've installed the kernel :victory:

F.A.Q:
Q: Are you Planning to support MIUI?
1. A: No.
Q: Could you include feature x,y and z in your kernel please?
2. A: If you link me the commits or tell me what kernel you had the feature in, I can take a look at them. I won't promise that I will merge every request but I will always take it into consideration. I will NOT add:
Overclock or underclock of the CPU and GPU (Except for the cases that the device has a underclock on both or in just one, then it'll be considered)
Undervolt
Any other governors except the "kernel stock" ones
Any feature that just one or two people is going to use
Q: I'm having an issue, can you help me?
3. A: I'm not an amazing kernel developer but I will certainly try my best. First, start by reading the release posts, as I may make note of a particular issue. Also search the thread to see if I have discussed it before. If you see nothing, please provide me with a dmesg/last_kmsg and logcat, your ROM/kernel version, and a detailed description of the issue. If I can't reproduce reliably, I'm not going to fix the issue. (Extracted from Nathan Chancellor's Flash Kernel Thread)
Q: The kernel is f*cking up my battery! Plz...
4. A: Stop right there. The Kernel doesn't drain any battery, use an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out what app is screwing with your phone. If verified the clocks are always online and on the max clock, then it'll checked out what's happen. Anyway logs are necessary.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
ABOUT KERNEL USAGE IN OTHER ROMS THAT ARE NOT MINE:
You are free to use the kernel if you want. The only thing that I'll request to do it's to keep the kernel name. If you have modified something, just add a "-Mod" in the final of the kernel name or anything that states that the kernel has been modified, not by me, but by ROM maintainer.

As stated on thread title, it's HMP. I'm planning to do an EAS version soon.

It's working on Pie ROMs as for now, but with the rebase of all stuff for Pie, the version for Pie and Oreo will be separated from one and other soon.

Flashed on ArrowsOS - HMP Pie. Stable, but some lagging not sure if ROM or Kernel or both combo not good. At least Touchboost and CPU boost helped.

Any chances of fix in future?
Almost all ROMs for this Device have this issue. May be some knowledgeable person can create Magisk module for FM Radio.
