suggestion for custom rom and kernal. - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

I am gonna unlock my bootloader and flash custom rom as i need to overclock the cpu and suggestions?My.main.reason for that is games.coz after 5 mins of gaming the game starts to lag but for starting 5 mins its smooth.

You can try some light and smooth ROMs like Invicta, AICP and use the ElemenentalX kernel. (LineageOS base)

Invicta's desclaimer says no to elemenatal x,moreover any tips for overclocking?

Don't use custom roms, IMO all based on Lineage have issues. Use stock ROM, EX kernel (with a kernel manager), root with SuperSU beta, not the normal one, see the threads here.
Also, gaming will overheat any device, do you have a case on your phone? That impedes the heat transfer and overheats the CPU, kills the battery...

Thanks,so i won't​ flash custom rom (i agree with u)i play with case removed,also another reason i am eager for ex kernal is.that i have image retention problem so i have to lower the rgb values too.i just do short gaming of 15-20 mins and i want that to be good.currently it starts disappointing me after 5 mins.Moreover my friends k6 power which has SD425 runs game more smoothly...thats a 9k phone while i have a 16k phone.

I started having retention after the Nougat update. Coincidence? Maybe. Putting the RGB values to 240 on all channels fixed it and is not visible any difference from 256.
I don't game, but setting the default minimum BigCPU number to one instead of two (busy down at 33% and busy up at 68%) helped my phone to be cold permanently. Interactive governor.

[HELP] Can't lock max cpu frequency

Hello , im using redmi 2 2gb version
I had problem with max cpu frequency
When cpu usage 95%+ max frequency lock to 800mhz and its make me feel lag, and that happen with chrome or playing video
Even with kernel adiutor change to 1.4ghz still didnt lock
Currently I use custom rom Tesla official stable
And thats happen too on mokee mm stable
Sorry for my english
Thanks
Best option available in my experience is dont use custom kernels at all. They may be buggy at certain task.
Stable Kernel which comes stock with the rom is best option. No bugs in multitasking and no more lags at all.

Lag on any custom rom :/

Hello, I have a question, I have a Moto G4 XT1621, which in STOCK works correctly and smoothly, but when installing a CUSTOM ROM, a LAG and an intense BATTERY DRAIN is presented, I pass this with RR 7.1.2 and RR 8.1, in the same way install Mokee this worked normally, but it consumed a lot of battery, and in the three ROMS the phone was heated more than normal, now well in Kernel Auditor in the three ROMS I noticed that 3 more frequent nuclei with name "BIG", they were detained and even if they were activated they stopped again causing the above described.
My question is why and if someone else has happened to this type of problem and what solutions there are.
Like when I install a custom kernel, the cores remain deactivated and with the lowest frequency, this happens to me so much in stock with any rom

Did u disable live display?
SD 617 is a heater and heats up a lot... only stock ROM is the coolest.. after that, i found Invicta OS. RR both nougat and oreo are good given you use Invicta/EX kernel for nougat or you use frostbitten kernel for oreo version of it. I do not remember other ROMs, since i have tried too many.
custom tweaks that you can apply are... having atleast 1 big cluster core and 1 small cluster core active, as it results in less heating, if needed you can make 1 big cluster and 2 small cluster or 2 big cluster and 0 small cluster.. find the combination that works on your phone the besT! Also, give sometime for the ROM to settle before testing for battery and heating issues!
Deactivating live display and night light on oreo ROMs result in less lag!
i have tried all the oreo roms both 64 bits and 32 bits (with and without Gapps) tried changing kernel profile to performance (also tried different kernels) as well but status bar and recents were lagging horribly and i dont know whats the reason, the only rom that ran smoothly ware Bootlegger and Aosip (but these 2 also had lags here and there sometimes)
So the we will never get a good custom rom? The phone came out 2 years ago and still no custom rom that can match or beat the stock ROM.

InvictaOS was very good(better imo compared to stock) followed by official ressurection remix
Custom ROMs can not match the stability and smoothness of stock ROMs. Stock ROMs are made only for the specific device/model, hence it is perfectly tuned and optimized according to the device hardware requirement. On the other hand, custom ROMs are made universal (maintainers pick it up and compile it) which may or may not go well with your device.

What is the best kernel for gaming performance?

In 2 days I'll be able to unlock my bootloader and I'm looking for the ROM and Kernel that I'll flash into my Redmi Note 7. I've decided that I will flash Xiaomi.eu ROM. But I haven't decided which Kernel to flash alongside the ROM. Should I stay with the stock kernel? and if not, which Kernel do you recommend me that has good performance for gaming?
I was thinking about Evira Kernel, but I've somewhat read the thread and all I see are bug reports Or is it a stable Kernel?
I'm planning to Root the phone to get the best performance out of it, for playing Call of Duty Mobile at stable 60 FPS.
Thanks in advance!
im on miui.eu with stock kernel and thermal mod, gaming performance is good 57-60fps consistent with COD. ive tested most kernel and still cant find the best for gaming as they perform similarly to one another. but if you find the one, do tell me.
So, do you think I should stick with stock kernel?
Also, where can I find that thermal mod?
You should try genom . There is continuous integration going on and it is getting better everyday . I also play games and it is one of the best in terms of gaming and ui fluidity compared to evira or ancient

Kernel in 2020

Hello everyone,
I'm using a 2gb Redmi 3s and running Pixel Reloaded pie ROM. Which kernel would you suggest me to flash?
Also can I flash the kernel now without formatting or re flashing the ROM?
I was looking at Chimera, anything better than it for gaming plus a bit good battery backup?
I am running LOS 15.1 based e/ OS on my 2GB variant(because of less RAM consumption). The stock kernel is very barebones and doesn't expose much features to the user. I flashed Chimaera and it works well. Battery backup,performance and idle drain , everything is A-OK.

Have you used any Pie ROM which worked well on 2gb variant with enough free RAM?
I tried most of them and they only let around 200 mb RAM free...
LOS 16 + Magisk + FDE.ai

Among Pie ROMs, I have only tried AEX 6.7. It used 1.3-1.4GB RAM after fresh boot, all stock, no GApps. LOS by e/ foundation (with microG integrated ) averages only around 800-850MB leaving almost a gigabyte available for use. Multi-tasking is now viable once again. Land is my secondary device but it still wasn't a pleasant experience with Pie ROMs. I have also flashed the low RAM enabler patch.
P.S. Carbon Oreo uses 1-1.1GB RAM reportedly.
Oh and have you tried Hyper kernel which was updated very recently? Officially only compatible with P/Q but it worked well in O. But since exFAT support seemed to be missing I switched over to Chimaera.
Thanks to both of you. I will try both of the ROMS as suggested by both of you ASAP.
Once again, thanks to help me..
After using Chimaera kernel for almost a month I can now say that it excels when it comes to idle drain. Mostly 0.2-0.3%/h. Many a times goes below 0.1%/h. Active drain is decent and on par with stock LOS kernel 8-10%/h. General performance is as good as can be expected. No bugs so far.
Oh and here's the link to e/ OS for land in case you are interested

I think stock kernels is good nowadays ( android 9/10 ) since 3.18.x kernel isnt get any update/upstream by linux ( EOL ), so we cant expect any custom kernel update

Use nicheream's lineage os it has Linux 4.9 kernel and 700-800 mb free ram on 2gb model it's the smoothest rom for this device.
I'm having havoc OS 3.6, android 10, can I change the kernel for better battery performance and which one do you suggest?
I'm trying to flash a kernel (chimera) with twrp 3.2.2.0 on my 3s but, i have havoc os rom 3.6 with sd card as internal storage, so when i try to flash anything, twrp cant see internal storage (0MB) - I/O error...
Is there a way of bypassing this problem without formating everything?

Chimaera isn't officially supported on Android 10 ROMs.
Your recovery is really old. Latest is 3.4.0 R3. Flash the latest TWRP/Orange Fox(I use this) /Pitch Black Recovery etc.

I took this screenshot showing havoc os 3.6 with chimera kernel.
1. Was this kernel the default kernel on havoc, or have i somehow managed to flash it?
2. Suddenly double tap stopped waking the device, could this be a result of flashing chimera kernel (in case this wasn't the default kernel)?

That's strange because AFAIK Chimaera isn't the stock kernel in Havoc Q. Also Chimaera supports DT2W. Use any kernel manager to activate it. If using Franco Kernel Manager check under Kernel settings>Miscellaneous, in Smartpack/Darkness kernel mgr. under Wake Gestures etc.
And you really need to update the recovery if you haven't already. It will solve the issue of not being able to handle encrypted partitions. Plus the ability to deal with ROMs with 4.9 kernel.

1. Is there a way of returning to havoc's default kernel back again without loosing apps n' settings? (I couldn't back up at twrp because of the old version...).
2. Are there any roms now that use kernel 4.9?
You've been very helpful so far! Thank you very much!

If you have the original ROM zip just extract the boot.img from it and flash it in recovery while choosing the partition type as "boot" when asked.
There are more than a few kernels running 4.9. LOS 17.1 unofficial, Corvus OS latest, Pixel-Reloaded latest etc. with more expected to follow. All are Q ROMs. There was even earlier one, LOS 16 by nichcream who was in fact the first to bring 4.9 kernel for land. But it was closed source. The recent release OTOH is open source. Performance wise reportedly pretty good but idle drain is quite high for now.

Can i flash one of those kernels as you described instead of havoc's kernel or it would be a hassle in terms of factionality?

No. 4.9 kernels can only work in ROMs that shipped with the same.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Fixing high idle drain with Chimaera? Its true that Chimaera is very good in that aspect but its active drain is a bit high. LOS 16 Official is pretty good in both aspects but very little in the way of customization. I use the stock LOS kernel in AEX 6.7 for now. Battery backup is pretty good although idle drain at 0.8%/h is higher than in the LOS ROM itself.

Yes! I tried lineage 17.1, pixel experience plus and now havoc 3.6. I liked very much havoc with its customisation aspects but for some strange reason in my case it uses a lot of battery even at sleep mode. So i thought maybe i can use a deferent kernel...
Is aosp anywhere near havoc's customizing? I'm using the phone as primary, trying to revive it!
I want customisation ability and battery life, I don't play games, any suggestions?
Thanks again!

AEX has a good deal of customization (otherwise I wouldn't be using it!) but not as much as Havoc. I think the battery is either degraded or in need of calibration as I have had inconsistent results. Yesterday I could have achieved 12 hour SoT(purely web browsing with a little TElegram) but today it would struggle to breach 7-8 hours. Battery percentage occasionally doesn't budge at all for a long while but at other times it will drop few points within minutes. That being said with LOS kernel in AEX battery life is still decent. Accubattery estimates SoT at over 9 hours. YMMV.

Comparison between two kernels (EX kernel v.3 and cleanslate v.4)(battery usage)

Hi guys
On stock rom pie version Android 3.31.401.1
Comparison between two kernels who I can install on the phone Htc u 11 show
In my opinion, the kernel ex is better because with the test I did, ex kernel frequency remains minimum on 300 , while it is at rival kernel at 960, and this has a great effect on battery consumption.
Of course, this is at rest and idling, and the second test at working pressure where the two kernels are no different.
what is your opinion?
Looks like I'm having trouble using this EX kernel. Sometimes mobile data crashes. Of course I have to check more
stock kernel >>>>> ex + clean
Checked . Ex kernel no problems. Issue has stock kernel
Is it possible to revert to stock kernel from cleanslate?
