Does anyone know what stock kernel Android Oreo runs? I've upgraded to the latest stock build but I've been reading that Google has mandated that kernels should be at least 3.18 or higher and my device seems to be running 3.10.7
3.10.73 is right maybe 3.18 is for a different device?

I am having troubles with software not running on Lollipop, but I am relying on them due to methods and work.
So, Lollipop is not working for me.
Question:
Are there good Android 4.4.4 Roms still being developed?
Currently I have Slimcat installed, 4.4.4 development has stopped.
Second question: which kernel would be the "best"? Stability, features and battery.
Currently I am on latest AK.600. Running fine, but is there a better one? Android 4.4.4 with SlimCat
It seems Chroma is no longer developed and the kernel is getting old without security updates. How do I know what actively developed kernel is compatible with that ROM? Thanks for any feedback.
Since Chroma rom is a AOSP based rom, you can use whatever AOSP kernel you like. You can try Quanta kernel (v20). I'm using it on Dirty Unicorn rom since 2 months
Thank you very much. So the first is to find the base ROM, AOSP for Chroma. Also, is it correct to assume I have to pick an AOSP kernel for marshmallow (if they have for all of the Android variants)?
Nevermind: It is in Quanta's page for kernel v20:
"This kernel is made for Android 5.1 (Lollipop) up to Android 6.0. (Marshmallow)"
Thanks again.
I am still on 6.0 TruePureMM and am considering updating to Stock 7.0.
For those already on 7.0, how do the modems for Cellular and Bluetooth compare with MM? Are you seeing a noticeable improvement? I am having some BT problems on 6.0 that I would like to clear up.
From my readings, it looks like all the Custom 7.1.x ROM (Lineage 14.1, etc) for the XT1575 are using the 6.0 Modems. Is that correct?
If Lenovo ever releases the source files for 7.x than will we see some Custom ROMs with all the Modem updates?

We already have the Nougat kernel source from the Style a couple months ago... and the binary blobs... developers are having issues integrating it, this all ROMs still require Marshmallow modem firmware.
The Bluetooth firmware on N is definitely better, no one anywhere has said anything different I have seen. As far as the modems go, there doesn't seem to be any improvement for CDMA or GSM, but VoLTE is improved especially for Verizon.
Hi all.
Have noticed some terrible 4g speeds and wondered if the radio can be flashed on its own?
If so what would the preferred method be?
Calls are usually ok but messaging and internet speed could be better.
Update: just updated the kernel to version 15 (lightening)
May just be me but it seems to have made an impact, saw 4G+ for the first time in a while almost straight after flashing it.
I had it in my head that the radio was separate to the kernel has something changed since the older versions of android ? I also don't see a lot of talk of firmware versions? On my previous devices you had to update it yourself prior to a change of base otherwise certain things would fail.
Having the proper base firmware is more of a concern if you are running a custom AOSP or LOS ROM. OOS based custom kernels that are updated regularly are generally made to work with specific builds of OOS--when OnePlus releases a new build of OOS some commits in the stock kernel are usually changed and custom kernels are updated to also incorporate the changes. The custom OOS kernels generally assume that you are running the most up to date version of OOS. If you are running an old build of OOS with a kernel made for a newer build you might encounter some bugs or stability issues.

Thanks for replying. I'm currently running pure fusion which is not OOS.
When I've been on OOS I've just been flashing the latest no limits ROM.. however as with past devices I've sometimes had to install newer firmwares to gain functionality and at times radios /baseband /modems. But have heard no talk about any of that on the Oneplus, is this something that's done when flashing a ROM? I'd have thought that phones may have different names but wouldn't be too dissimilar in that way.
Overall i just think that my device has had better data speeds and stability than it has before and I couldn't think of anything which would affect it more than flashing a different (potentially more efficient) baseband.
I've no idea how to even recognise the firmware I'm on on this phone.. or where to grab the firmware from, I know the command to flash it as I've done it a lot on my old devices.
Hello, which kernel do you recommend for Pixel Experience ROM official with overclocking CPU/GPU feature? I tried eXtreme kernel 12.1 but after that I was not able to connect my device to PC, it does not recognize device. Before I use eXtreme 12.0 kernel on unofficial Pixel Experience ROM and I did not have this problem so I do not know whether it is problem of kernel or not. Thank you for help.
Moun Kernel is the best I think. It is stable, have a bunch of cool features and also has OC to 2.2ghz. Definitely worth to try.
Try extreme kernel v13 beta (keep in mind that it'll only work with roms based on linux 4.9)
