Lollipop Kernel

Hi people,
With the recent announcement of @pedestre (creator of apolo kernel) that the development of apolo kernel comes to an end and Gustavo kernel does not be updated since a long time, we have no costum kernel for the many 5.1.1 roms that are coming to our phones....
Many people uses bln, cpu and gpu voltages control etc.
I want to ask someone with skils who can compile latest cm kernel, witch i think that will be compatible with all newest 5.1.1 roms, with basiclly feautures like bln and others... and if its possible, keep it update with lates cm realises....
Thanks, i hope some dev can help us

Yes, we need kernel developers
Maybe @Resync , @stelistcristi , @chhapil or @warrior1208 ?

Always been considering to build a kernel, especially porting dorimanx to lollipop. Having trouble on ubuntu with dorimanx's instructions, so I will try bbqlinux instead and see how it goes.

I can develop if @pedestre can give me the permissions to let me continue Apolo. Although, I'll do that and all the other ROMs' building stuff after 6th of June.

I'm sure he would give you persmission to do that.

Right now I'm cloning my repo of dorimanx kernel. Have made a few changes like chhapil (except no uber tc yet). I'll see if I can release something next week (however will be very busy with exams). I'm still very new at building kernels so expect a few quirks with the kernel.

Should be alright since android kernel is open source.

This thread is already awsome!
Yes please LL Kernel! CM sourced RR for galaxy s2 gt i9100 needs kernel!
Developers please come forward we beg you!

@warrior1208 Instead of continuing a Kernel, why not make and develop one yourself and name the kernel yourself as well? It would be nice if there's a new kernel name in our device. Just suggesting here...

Let's see. I'll try. But first, I have to update all the three ROMs and then a custom kernel. Although, as I stated, I'll be able to do that after 6th of June.

I vote for gustavo's kernel since last version of it was just everything i needed. Miss it's colour control very much

I would love to see a TWRP kernel, as I use the file manager to delete unwanted system files on rom updates.
I do think it has a more friendly UI too.

We need 2 type of kernel. One like gustavo_s' and other is like apolo.
One for full control
And other is daily usage and more stable

Or maybe one based on apolo with CPU and GPU OC

I'm pretty sure there not much work needed to get Gustavo's kernel working on newer lollipop builds. Right now, I've made changes to io schedulers, TCP algorithm, supersu. Still have no clue how to get build started, at least there's progress. Change of mind. Will be busy with exams.

Actually no, everything can be done through terminal. That is, indeex, how apolo configurator/stweaks or any other such app works. Just executing commands.

Need help testing this kernel.

Hi guys i need you to test the performance of this kernel i've made
ONLY DECEMBER CM12.1 NIGHTLIES COMPATIBLE

Please tell me how your Phone performs,if better or worse.
NOTE : I don't know if this is the right section as i'm not sure if this is actually "worth" putting in development section.(waiting for user evalutation)

I try
I can try your kernel but, it can boot??
And you dont have an moto e???

Of course it boots.
I Have tested on mine and it's blazing fast.I Just wanted make sure it's the kernel and not the mods that i applied to the ROM ^^

The perform with your kernel is the same has cm 12.1 stock kernel and when i install your kernel my wifi dont work im using moke open source rom up to date with the cyanogenmod sources and you can add some cpu governors, faux sound control, simple gpu algorithm.

If it is a kernel, then dont create a normal thread. Create a DevDB project for testing it. Or I will make a DevDB project and give you the credits.

I think it doesn't "reserve" being a project because this is just an experiment i made with a toolchain,also i'm not going to add any feature to it anytime soon.

yes it's working fine and make things better.
Overall a decent kernel to try on.

ElementalX Kernel

Hi there people,
I've been hearing good things about ElementalX kernel, but from what I see there isn't this kernel for our phone, what do you think?

Why don't just choose from available kernels instead? The dev of elementalX kernel is not supporting bacon because he does not have this device.

If he says you need then ok if he doesn't and gives his source like that then no ...just port it and say it's his - problems solved. You get into technical problems while I comment on what you think about the kernel and/or if someone is willing to do a port(asking dev if needed OC)

Gather 10 skilled devs to work around 3.18.xx for a few months and you'll have a pretty decent stable core with quite a few benefits ...but kernel isn't like roms, needs fine tuning and when we're talking about upped versions there are some restrictions, you need to create workarounds for some stuff and some devs don't like to do that and since we've got no actual open source drivers workarounds are inevitable

Yeap true still it's the future and there won't be one if we stuck in 3.4.x (3.4.x already reached EOL - https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html - linux kernels EOL )
P.S. Sultan tried to make a kernel but saw it would require too much time and effort and stopped, if he has time and passion about the kernel this would have a much better future. It's obvious that a proper optimized kernel does have benefits(of course to match the maturity of 3.4.x is not an easy thing ...still this would make our phone last 5+ years ....if a proper stable 3.18.x kernel was around) - not sure if the electronics of my 1+1 would live by then but just saying

Yeap, wish we had some devs working on:
3.18.x for our device
bring treble for our device(not sure if this can be done) - not just have android O(without treble)
This would ensure that the phone would live until all the electronics die from natural cause(age)

I think @erorcun was working on 3.10 and then 3.18 before his screen broke.
I don't know how common it is for devices to have merged or official kernel jumps, but I remember the S3 starting with 3.0 and ending at 3.4. CM builds got it first and then miraculously followed suit in the final OTA, which nobody who cared about their bootloader ever took.

Well oneplus won't give you anything ..that's a sure thing. Usually they don't up the kernel version. You get a phone with 3.10 it will die with 3.10.
The real problem comes with the drivers of the device. In order to get a real fully functional kernel without workarounds we need the help of qualcomm, would they provide drivers so we can have a real 3.18 kernel with proper support from android o? ...of course not, why do that when they can sell you a new phone with better SoC(they have a company to run and to do that they want to sell SoC ...so you should buy a new phone )

Never compare Roms or ask for ETAs. Devs do put in a lot of hardwork.
However corvus for the Xiaomi phones are actually a beast by unlocking the max potential. However, to what degree they're good enough for the longevity of the device is a question.
However, you can try a lot of other roms here. I guess, if not gaming specific, you could unlock a lot of potential by using them with a modified kernel?

Hello Deepankar!
Thanks for the reply!
I respect each and everyone dev, and I'll take my word "best" back and replace it with "better" ?
Nevermind, currently I'm rocking the OnePlus 7 Open Beta 16 port on my 6T, I just want a custom kernel
Can you suggest any?
I tried flashing the Radioactive Kernel , it said Unsupported device, so do I have to flash a kernel for Op7 now?

Well before flashing any kernel, you should always consult the dev of the ROM whether or not it supports any kernel altogether.
At times, to avoid any hassle, OS performance or any other brick related issues, devs generally do not support custom kernels and their bug reports.
It's all a gamble while flashing kernels on ported roms!

You could pitch in and help them bringing it to us? Atleast by flashing their builds, as it is Oneplus has merged 6 and 6Ts development.

Limited development

Hi. I'm really disappointed in this device's custom rom development. I thought that with easy bootloader unlock and kernel sources and overall popularity we would have a large selection of custom roms.
Any thoughts?

There's a fair amount of development going on for the 8/8Pro. Things have gotten a little quiet now that A11 has been released, but slowly the Roms/ Kernels are being released.
If you are that disappointed you have options. You can either start developing your own work, you can sell the device and move on to something else that has more developer support, or you can be patient and wait for things to pick back up.
My thoughts... your post is pointless, there's been others like this in the forums that are just as pointless.

Great answer, that was just the push I needed to start developing my own rom. Just wait for it.

Never felt limited development with the OnePlus 8 Pro! Btw it has an excellent stock oos!

Honestly, the OOS stock, plus root, plus elementary kernel, you will never miss a custom ROM (although it is already a customization).
The gain in performance and battery life will make you forget about it. Give it a try.

Install PPH's AOSP build. Treble.
There's also lineage 18 for treble. I've been meaning to flash then this weekend
Make a few guides on what works and what doesn't.
I just needed a completely pointless post to motivate me
