This is an unofficial LineageOS 14.1 ROM for the OnePlus One that focuses on stability and the overall user experience. This ROM comes with a highly-customized kernel, as well as some other very custom modifications.
Custom kernels are not compatible with this ROM unless otherwise noted. I will NOT provide support if you install a custom kernel.
ROM features:
Based off latest LineageOS 14.1 sources (root access is NOT included)
OTA updates via built-in updater in Settings
Nougat Stagefright camera hardening (improves security; more info)
OxygenOS camera libraries (no significant camera bugs and improved camera performance)
Custom camera app that comes with many unique features (such as high-speed video recording with audio)
Custom camera HAL featuring:
-Faster autofocus in low lighting conditions
-No stuttering/frame drops in camera viewfinder (viewfinder frame rate won't go below 30 FPS)
-Slow-motion video recording at 60 FPS, 90 FPS, and 120 FPS for 720p, and 60 FPS for 1080p
-High-speed video recording with audio at 60 FPS, 90 FPS, and 120 FPS for 720p, and 60 FPS for 1080p (you need to use the included camera app in order to use high-speed recording)
-1080p video recording with the front-facing camera
-1440p video recording with the front-facing camera and back camera (only with the included camera app)
-4k video recording at UHD and DCI resolutions
-Manual focus control
-Manual ISO control
-Manual shutter speed control (ranging from 1/5000th of a second to 2 seconds)
-More picture sizes than plain OxygenOS, such as 9.7MP 16:9
Many other misc. improvements under the hood
Kernel features:
Based off latest CAF Marshmallow kernel source from Qualcomm (LA.BF.1.1.3_rb1.15)
Removed lots of excessive bloat
Rewrote battery driver (for the BQ27541 fuel-gauge chip; battery % readings are more accurate, there are various
safety mechanisms now, and you may get better battery life)
Rewrote half of the Synaptics touchscreen driver (over 2500 lines of code modified; your touchscreen may work better)
Newest-available Synaptics touchscreen firmware
Dynamic CPU input boost driver (makes the phone feel smooth without destroying battery life)
CPU underclocked to 1958 MHz by default (you can disable this; see why this was done in the FAQ in the 3rd post)
Vibrator is automatically disabled when recording videos (so the buzzing noise doesn't get in the videos)
Custom thermal control driver (features 8 thermal throttle steps; keeps the phone cool)
LCD KCAL by Savoca
Westwood TCP congestion algorithm (enabled by default)
NTFS support
No placebo patches, features, or compiler "optimizations"
Many other misc. improvements not listed here

Installation instructions (for first-time installation):
First, perform a backup of your existing setup, and then perform a clean install (wipe /data and /system; TWRP is recommended). Next, try flashing the ROM and see if it installs; if it installs without any issues then congratulations! Now just flash a Google apps package, and then reboot.
If you get an error when trying to install ("bacon.verify_trustzone" error), then first you must install/use the latest TWRP recovery (3.1.1-0). Next, download and flash the latest official CM13.0 snapshot. Then, without rebooting from recovery, wipe /system and flash my ROM. This process is necessary to update various firmwares (including TrustZone), as the updated firmware is needed by this ROM. After flashing this ROM, flash a Google Apps package, and then reboot.
Installation instructions (for updating to a newer release):
If you are already running this ROM, then you can update to a newer version of the ROM via the built-in OTA updater or by simply dirty-flashing the new ROM build without wiping anything. HOWEVER, do NOT reinstall Google Apps after installing a new update.

FAQ:
1. Could you add camera slow-shutter times greater than 2 seconds?
Answer: No, I cannot. The reason why exposure times are capped at 2 seconds is due to the proprietary camera libraries from OxygenOS. Only OnePlus can modify the proprietary camera libraries, so there is no way for me, a regular consumer, to implement exposure times greater than 2 seconds.
2. Why did you use OxygenOS camera libraries? They don't have 4K camcorder support!
Answer: My custom camera HAL enables 4K camcorder support with Oxygen's camera libraries, so this isn't an issue. Cyanogen's camera libraries have had some issues with the camcorder since day 1. The big issue that I have been able to reproduce on all OnePlus One devices I've come across is graphical artifacts in recorded videos (look towards the right @25 seconds): https://youtu.be/LyIbb5wIyfY?t=22s
OxygenOS' camera libraries do not have this issue, and thanks to my modifications, we now have 4K camcorder support with the OxygenOS libraries, so not much is lost by using them. The OxygenOS libraries can also take pictures faster/better than Cyanogen's libraries.
3. Why did you underclock the CPU to 1958MHz?
Answer: At 1958MHz, the amount of heat generated by the CPU is quite a bit less than at 2457MHz, so the CPU is throttled less often (leading to better user experience), and battery life is better as well. The performance difference between 1958MHz and 2457MHz is also not really noticeable unless you use a benchmark application. If you want to remove the CPU underclock then flash the zip from the first post that disables the underclock. You must flash this zip every time you install a new ROM update.
First!
Thank you so much sultan!
and EID MUBARAK!
Hell yeah
And now we wait for people to complain about the lack of Xposed.

Sultan's thermal driver. To use sdcardfs on ROMs that normally use fuse, just add ro.sys.sdcardfs=true at the end of your build.prop and reboot.

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.
Features:
Latest linux upstream version 3.10.108
Up to date as per AOSP/kernel-common and CAF

Flashing Instructions for custom roms:
Download TWRP recovery from here.
First backup boot in TWRP then flash the latest LoonyKernel zip. Reboot to system.
For magisk users, if you have already flashed magisk once, there's no need to re-flash it again after flashing the kernel. Magisk root will be retained.
Subsequent releases can be flashed over the same kernel's older version.
Flashing Instructions for stock rom:
Use only official TWRP for flashing on stock nougat or oreo rom. If you are using elementalx kernel then first restore the stock boot image or kernel then flash this kernel to avoid any potential issues with module(s).
Download official TWRP.
Backup boot in TWRP.
Flash latest LoonyKernel zip and reboot the device to system.
Subsequent releases can be flashed over the same kernel's older version.

Bring back 160mhz level for idle state GPU.
Squash some relevant upstream patches for xpad driver.
Merged sdFAT updates.
Disabled cpu hotplugging at lower battery levels.
Slight improvements in i/o operations.
Updates to cpusets and cgroup.

Added ARM64 CRC32 hw accelerated module
Few security updates to crypto driver.
Fix deadlock in sound-core driver due to duplicate ioctl_lock.
Disabled DEVPORT - it is not used as shown by previous SELinux policy changes to blacklist it. It is being unset to reduce the kernel attack surface.
Nov 11, 8.1.0 Release-9
Note: Non-dts builds are discontinued from this release. If dts builds doesn't boot then consider updating your rom. Should work on 9.0 as well. We are now up to date as per CAF, Linux-stable as well as Google/AOSP's kernel updates

NOTE: Balanced profile viz. default is now using performance governor for GPU only to improve ux to some extent. Once the performance gets stable/consistent on oreo roms I'll switch it back to msm-adreno-tz. Users can switch to msm-adreno-tz if they want through kernel managers.
Merged relevant updates from NPJS25.93-14-18.
Allow mounting cdrom using apps like drivedroid etc.

Merged relevant updates from CAF tag LA.BR.1.3.7-05010-8976.0 (8.1.0) and kernel-common
Properly up-streamed up to Linux stable 3.10.108
Merged recent kernel side updates to Wireguard
Removed some not so important i/o schedulers (cfq, maple and noop are more than enough)
Removed useless debug options to for cleaner and smaller kernel
Removed ondemand and conservative cpu governors (not suitable for big.LITTLE)
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
Updated wifi/wlan drivers from latest 7.0 sources from CAF
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 10, Release v6.1:

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:

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.

Hi again Sultan Kernel does not support Android 11. So with permission from @Sultanxda, I decided to port Sultan Kernel over to Android 11.
There are a few things I should say about this project so users are aware. I currently do not intend on maintaining this kernel after Sultan has released his official kernel for Android 11. I'm yet to have any issues with stability. Your mileage may vary.

Yes it is 'stable' and is used in other kernels like ElementalX by default. The only negative that I think could arise from this is an increased chance of experiencing screen burn in when utilising that high brightness a lot.

Click to collapse
No, as I don't believe the compression algorithm for ZRAM can be modified from within userspace. The concept is to stay as close to Sultan's kernel with only additional options for those who want them. The core kernel should remain the same. Besides Simple LMK already does a fantastic job of memory management IMO.

New compiler benchmark results from hackbench — a tool (compiled executable here) that aims to solely benchmark scheduler and pipe performance. Keep in mind that you'll probably never see an improvement in real-world scenarios.

Take a note that a lot of LineageOS features have not been completed yet this is not a device bug and please do not report those
in this rom thread as you will be reported to moderator also do not post bug reports for known issues or bug reports without proper
a) Logcat
b) proc/last_kmsg (or proc/kmsg)
c) data/tombstones
d) dmesg
Also do not under any circumstances post bug reports if you are using substratum themes or unsupported magisk modules or you have performed any system modifications
Install gapps right after installing the rom itself dont try to boot to system before that if you want to use gapps
NikGapps and BiTgapps were both tested and working

Due to requests from some users I added signature spoofing support to the rom which allows usage of MicroG
you can simply install MinMicroG and grant it needed permissions for signature spoofing to make it work as intended

Contributors
Ivan_Meler
Source Code: https://github.com/8890q/android_kernel_samsung_universal8890/tree/lineage-18.1
ROM OS Version: Android 11
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.18.x
Version Information
Status: Stable
Keep in mind this is early build and many los features are not merged yet do not report those as bugs as they are not device specific and will be resolved
Also here are some screenshots
Also big thanks to everyone who supported this and other projects since lineageos 15.1 since i do this in my free time and donations help offset server cost and get me coffee

Wow, you just keep this device alive. Cant wait to try this Rom(im currently downloading...) Will report in a few days how it is
Holy moly, that was real quick. Thanks for this ROM! Do you think you could fix the microstuttering that sometimes appears on LOS 17.1? I see you have an EAS implementation in the works but only you know the real status of your tree.
Alternatively, could you provide a no-op performance profile so we can tweak the interactive governor through a kernel manager? When I change my governor settings for my custom ones microstuttering goes away until they reset to default after a while even if I enable apply on boot, and the default performance option is janky when doing anything more intensive than scrolling a webpage or through the system UI. Sometimes playing games is impossible because it runs smoothly but randomly jumps.
Again, thanks for your ROM. We are blessed to have a dev like you working on this old horse
So far ROM is awesome smooth and fast ,only problems for me at least:
1-brightness slider
2-calls problem can't hear or talk and can't record in such apps like WhatsApp
Thx for ur awesome works so much appreciated
Hi,
Did anybody try to dirtyflash from 17.1? I had no luck so far...
And again, big thank to Ivan, for the rom and keeping device alive!!!!!
thx

I don't know if you mean the same thing, but at least Pokemon Go "jerkiness" can be completely fixed by changing GPU powersave mode from "coarse demand" to "always on".. But you need some adjustable kernel like Morokernel to be able to do this, and Moro is not very good with recent LOS versions.
I don't know what the issue with "coarse demand* is.. it turns off GPU power after 100ms of idle. That certainly shouldn't happen during gameplay when there's constant movement on screen?

Thanks for responding. Changing to always_on does help a little but it makes the phone MUCH hotter...or is it my idea?
The phone is hotter and it still stutters, I tried changing the I/O schedulers to less intensive noop and tweaking the interactive governor helps but then it resets itself back to stock settings no matter what I do. But no matter what, there is always at least a bit of microstuttering. It is ruining the experience on this otherwise perfect ROM.
Also the custom kernels are using a different kernel/binary blob base that doesn't work with this ROM family anymore. I personally don't want to delve in the headache of merging commits and fixing build failures, it means downloading yet another kernel for yet another SoC and my space is kinda limited right now because I already maintain a device.
Hmm. I'm actually currently on FloydQ rom. It is very smooth with Moro and this "always on" mode. Battery use is very minimal, phone does not get hot.
FloydQ is using the older code base so Moro works. But earlier I was using some older LOS 17.1 beta with Morokernel and it was smooth. The later versions (with newer code base) stuttered..
Hmm.. perhaps there is some bug causing entire device to halt for over 100ms? Then coarse_demand mistakes this as idling and powers off the GPU, making things even worse.
I can't see call screen when someone calls please fix this

As it says on the main post, it's pointless to report a bug without including:
a) Logcat
b) proc/last_kmsg (or proc/kmsg)
c) data/tombstones
d) dmesg
as he can't possibly recreate every issue.
Thank you !
I will test with NikGapps
please someone upload it on sourceforge ((((
i cant download from google drive

I am switching to another ROM and flashing echofix
Wattsensi said:
Does this ROM have all the bugs and instability older Lineage ROMs had, or it works as a daily driver? Apart from the fixable echo problem, do calls work well? I am considering switching ROMs to instal ThundeRStorms Kernel if I can't solve this issue from userspace. as a bonus I get EAS.

Well.. I'm probably the wrong person to answer, as I have never encountered the echo or volume problems on LOS either. And I use this as my work phone so I call quite a lot.
But still yeah, FloydQ feels very stable. I think it's mostly binaries moved from the S9+ rom, as it has all Samsung proprietaries working (like VoLTE calls).. I assume echo cancellation as well. And it passes SafetyNet out of the box, you don't necessarily need Magisk to run bank apps etc.

Well, I flashed Resurrection Remix and indeed, the microstuttering is gone! Thanks for the recommendation.
EDIT: The culprit seems to be the N935KKKU4CTH1 rebase, running a ROM previous to their inclusion makes the problems disappear
