Reposted from other thread for ease of reading for VZW users:
"Initial thoughts on the kernel:
Buttery smooth, love the s2w+s2s/dt2w implementation in this kernel, only had one instance of it taking more than 2 taps to wake (which has something to do with the synaptics driver I think), I tried to benchmark it on Antutu X but it froze my phone at the 2d bench. That's all so far, at work now and will do some more testing while I'm here."

Tried using Synapse but I get the "No UCL detected" message

please flash reset kernel 1st..please see original Thread and on OP you can go to Wiki page and check Downloads for the respective reset kernel..you need to flash it first before trying my builds for the reason that the reset kernel has stuff that allows synapse to load properly..Synapse is the only recommended app to play with my kernel..

Quick Guide for easy flashing:
Flash the correct reset kernel for your device/version and reboot
Disable any auto-set-on-boot options from any kernel control apps.
Install Synapse from play store (DO NOT OPEN)
Flash desired kernel for your device and reboot again
Open Synapse and configure away
Enjoy the bacon.
Hope this helps.

I do suggest all of you guys party along on the Main thread..latest news, release sneak peaks and alot more fun..
Thanks to all who tried and made the difference..

Party in the main thread, woooooooo!
This thread is still monitored BTW guys, OP and myself keeping an eye out for VZW issues

New builds available for m7wlv Sense ROMs...
I've offered to help test this kernel on our vzw m7 - and so far it's looking pretty slick... :good: There are new (Sep10) builds available for m7 Sense ROMs (both 4.4.2 and the newer 4.4.3 ones).
Check out the overview, FAQs and downloads on @kairi_zeroblade's github, then "party along on the main thread" over in the One original development forum...

FYI, the discussion over on this kernel's main thread has picked up recently and there's an update worth looking at as well.
The Hotplug functions (that I'm just becoming familiar with) are delivering some pretty insane battery savings for me without an appreciable performance hit.

New builds up Guys..with flavors..:good:
Choose from MPD and HP builds..go hit the main thread or head on to the Github release page for your respective Downloads..as a reminder(always) do flash the reset kernel before flashing my builds to ensure full support for Synapse..
Thanks to everybody here..:highfive:

I should point out that @kairi_zeroblade is now calling for aosp ROM testers as well. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56007607

Running the newest version on Nusense...thanks very smooth

Actually I'm having a weird issue. Is there anything done on kernel install that can affect battery readings? My battery was not displaying the correct % after install. No mods or anything else that could affect it.
Also, synapse seems to be very hit or miss about working and applying effects. I'm on Nusense Six Art Edition.

I have removed it on the new version..as it was also giving me the same issues when selecting a lower maximum limit aside from 100%..

gpl | abyss kernel 7.10 | cm-14.x

Hi bacon people!
This is my modified kernel with some kernel optimizations and some compiler optimizations.
The goal of abyss is to achieve improved performance/battery without the cost of stability.
I will not be overhauling this project with changes that are not logical to add.
This kernel should work on the latest 7.x.x roms like CyanogenMod and any other AOSP based rom.
It will not work with "CAF" based roms (any roms using Sultanxda trees).
It will not work with Omni based roms either (any roms using Omni trees).
It will not work with AOSParadox based roms too.
How does one achieve this?
- build kernel with an optimized toolchain
- use compiler optimization flags (experimental)
- remove redundant code
- improve existing code with more efficient code
- reduce/increase speed of timers (depends on what type of function)
- etc. (most are not easy to explain)
Is there actually a performance improvement?
With all the changes added up, there should be. Whether or not one notices the difference is another thing.
Personally, I do feel the performance difference on my Moto G 2013; it is easier to notice the difference with lower level specs..
For those interested in how the kernel optimizations will benefit/work, please look at my github source and read the commit messages.
For those interested in how the compiler optimizations/hacks will benefit/work, please look at this article.

I do not mind if there's some non-development/off-topic discussion here, just no discussion about other works that is nowhere near related to mine.
Also, please refrain from comparing works here; it really kills the spirit of development. Go do that in some other thread.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this a custom kernel?
I was asked this question once, and it posed as a real good question. I do not consider abyss to be a "custom kernel" per se, but more so as a modified kernel. The patches and features that go into this kernel do not make it customizable. What they do is improve what has already been implemented. It is like swapping a car's engine for a better one rather than just adding LED flooring lights and fancy car mats.
Can you add [this] and [that] feature?
Something I pride myself with this kernel is that it does not have a bunch of random, useless features or patches mashed into it. Everything put into this kernel is thought out well and tested. I see a lot of works being made popular because it has [this] and [that] feature when really, it's nothing revolutionary. As a matter of fact, most things added to any kernel will not make it 5x better than any other kernel. Most of the time, simple is better; and in this case it definitely is!

Main Patches and Features:
- updated security patches (dirty cow vulnerability resolved)
- updated sched drivers
- KCAL Control Driver
- backported random from Linux 3.16+
- kexec hardboot patch for Multirom
- Abyss Optimizations (compiler)
- disabled debugging for more performance throughout
- lots of patches for better performance here and there... too many to list
- simplified thermal driver (more aggressive while maintaining performance)
- USB Force Fast Charge
- Android N ready!
How to install:
Place zip on to your internal storage
Place current ROM zip on to your storage
Boot into TWRP recovery
(If you're coming from a different kernel, dirty flash current ROM)
Flash kernel zip
Reboot

@YoshiShaPow thank you for sharing your work..
A heads up.. I used flashify to flash it on Euphoria CAF version.. And it booted fine.. All seems ok.. Would report in case of any issues.. Works well as of now.. Using smartmax eps..

@YoshiShaPow I think you should just call it "Egg kernel" given that you're a Yoshi

Isn't it the same kernel which you have implemented in your latest CAF build?

Which toolchain are you using? UBERTC 5.2.1?

@YoshiShaPow
HEY!
Glad you decided to come on back! Just FYI, I was able to get CAF working with AnyKernel. I will make sure my source is up to date so you can use if you want. Regardless glad you decided to take a stab at kernel building again and can't wait to see what you cook up!

@YoshiShaPow how about the names "eggs and bacon"
Anyways if you need an Legendary Eagle friend, you can que with me and my buds for a 4-5 man crew ;D

One request bro, can you add Boeffla's capacitive keys backlight control? Also, are you planning to add a custom UKM for your kernel or are you only planning kernel auditor support?

YOU are doing modifications to your device.
YOU are responsible for what you do.
We are not responsible for any damages, data loss or any type of unexpected,
bad or damaging results! If you have SERIOUS problems with this software,
please contact the developers or maintainers. We are not liable for anything
bad that happens to your device.
As long as you are responsible, some companies such as OnePlus
WILL HONOR IT. Some people occasionally describe them as heroes.
Don't be stupid and bet on that though, please be responsible for what you do.
We prohibit you from overclocking to 1337 GHz thinking, that an OEM would
replace your glorious space heater etc.
We recommend you to take the advice above regardless.
halogenOS Checklist
Although no data should be lost or damaged by the flashing process,
we advise you to follow the following steps if you are coming from another rom:
Please take a full nandroid backup!
Please copy your back up to an external device.
Backing up your Internal Storage is also recommended.
When completed, please clean flash the build!
XOS is a new generation cutting-edge OS for Android based on Code Aurora Forum releases.
What is XOS?
halogenOS, also known as XOS is a new Android ROM which ships with the global aim to
become a modular ROM which keeps as high as potentially possible operating
performance on your mobile device while still maintaining a sufficient feature
base of nice, small and minimal features that would not be available via any
external feature base, extension, mod or plugin.
We hope you have a truly halogenified experience!
Internals of XOS
At core, the ROM is composed mainly of components from CodeAuroraForums (CAF),
featuring only extremely minor set of components from CyanogenMod (CM) which
have been added to source in order to allow for better cross-device compatibility.
Our LOVE to others
A huge thanks goes to those behind the CodeAuroraForums (CAF), the CyanogenMod
organization and all of its
contributors for the sources used in the development of the base ROM which we
started with inclusive of all the work and dedication their team puts in order to
keep us updated on the awesome contributions that they make.
We will be keen on ensuring that we be up to date with the code from our base sources,
with regular ROM updates hopefully coming from time to time.
Please do not ask for ETA's (else you shall be spooked by Mr Skeltal). Almost all of us are
students, and with the current lifestyles and routines we have, it is not that easy to acquire
time to develop the ROM, though we'll be sure to keep you updated and release OTAs as
soon as they are available and ready for publication. If you want to be really updated quick,
then join us on Telegram: http://telegram.me/halogenos
Visit our website for features such as: Downloads, Information etc.

(Not finished yet)
​
Common stuff
The ROM is super stable as of now and we'll maintain a clean and proper ROM.
Known issues are going to be fixed as soon as possible. We don't have infinite time.
Highlights :
Substratum
Full media support (FFMPEG, video codecs, ...)
Great Audio quality, no distortions, no crap
Optimized many portions of the system including surfaceflinger, inputflinger, System Server, and more
Super fast boot
Superuser-capable
Great battery life
Soundmod support (not all soundmods work on Nougat, it's not our fault)
addon.d support (backups your gapps etc. when flashing new build - don't wipe system before flashing!)
init.d support
BusyBox
Disabled Access Time for all partitions (We don't need access time. When access time is enabled, it will store the exact date of the access when a file is accessed, what just wastes write cycles (in theory) and has impact in I/O performance.)
Super smooth
Signature Spoofing toggle (Support for MicroG)
Support for trusted third-party WebViews like Chrome
Long press on home for assist toggle
Security Patches in kernel
OpenGapps (Mini/Micro/Nano recommended) and Banks GApps support
Full KeyHandler & KeyDisabler support
Dexpreopt for faster (first) boot time and less space consumption on data partition
Upgrade & Boot the ROM in just 5 minutes - no more endless waiting for flashing a new build
Very high compatibility with other ROMs
How to update the ROM:
Download the latest zip
Reboot into TWRP (Please use official TWRP)
Do not wipe anything
Flash the ROM
Flash SuperSU 2.78 SR5 or newer if you want (Download 2.79 here)
Reboot
You don't need to wipe Cache/Dalvik.
You don't need to flash gapps again. There is some magic going on which keeps your GApps. Just make sure that you don't wipe system before flashing.
You don't need more than 5 minutes.
How to install the ROM for the first time:
Download the latest zip
Reboot into TWRP (Please use official TWRP)
Wipe system, data and cache (If you want to try a dirty flash, dont wipe anything)
Flash the ROM
Flash gapps if you want
Flash SuperSU 2.78 SR5 or newer if you want (Download 2.79 here)
Reboot

excited will flash this soon and give you the review :fingers-crossed:
i have a request if you have free time can u port roms like Hawai rom or coolpad rom for our device ... because all of the nougat roms seems similar...
i know those roms will be marshmallow still .. something new will be there in terms o ui
thanks

Wow.. Previously AOSP and now, CAF-ROM available. You're rocking this device in literal way.. Better optimizations!! What else needed?
Thanks dev @prakharluv for consistently working om newer projects and i must say, your work is improving day by day..
Will soon download and test. Thanks for the ROM. I hope it is as stable and solid as your other ROMs.
Keep up your work.??

CAF stands for the Code Aurora Forum. CAF directly supported by Qualcomm and therefore generally a more optimized branch for our phone ( phones powered by Snapdragon Qualcomm )

Guys please review this rom. I am on oct os. Is this rom has more customization than oct os? How is the battery backup and stability? I know its too early but please post the review. And someone using this rom upload some more screenshot. And thank you @prakharluv you are very helpful. One more inquiry will it be official?

does anyone experiencing times where feeds (facebook, messaing) sometimes are hard to scroll? or it's just me?

No customization at all. When u open customization panel u will find this. Lol

Great ROM, super stable, don't have all those customization options like others rom, but that's what I like about it. Any chance of going official, prakharluv?

This is a very stable rom, no lags at all, very nice experience. Many thanks to dev

Testing in for 2-3 days. This rom is awesome, it's light, stable and cool. It feels like it has a better battery usage from the system itself. Yesterday after 18hrs it was still at 40% after a medium usage (whatsapp, facebook, 3/4hrs screen on) with my modified cpu settings (which are still acceptably smooth). The only thing, battery monitor shows a lot of usage from whatsapp, it just feels not right (i'm talking about 30% battery usage from whatsapp when phone is at 40%). By the way this rom is great, i will use it for a while if nothing better comes out
BTW My cpu settings are (Z00L):
minFreq: 400Mhz
MaxFreq: 1200Mhz
Governor: conservative
-> tunables
-down_threshold: 60
-up_threshold: 95
Hope this helps you

Welcome to Kermit Kernel.
Kermit Kernel is intended to be installed on AOSP and uses Anykernel2 to do so. I wanted to share my work with all of you and also provide a smooth, customisation experience for you. This project was inspired by kylothow's work on AOSP and Kernels and big thanks to him for helping me in the beginning!

What is Anykernel?
You can skip this if you don't want to know how it works.
Kernels tend to have a fully built boot image ready, it just flashes everything and it may not PATCH the necassary files. This means you're gonna have to create a different boot image for different roms such S8 Ports, Note FE Ports and AOSP ROMS. Things such as compatibility maybe an issue also because new things may not be supported by old things (Newer RAMDISK on an older ROM).
That's when Anykernel comes into play. It only includes the zImage (actual prebuilt kernel), dtb (the instructions for hardware stuff), and patches used ontop of the stock ramdisk. It takes the previous/stock kernel, replaces dtb and zImage and then continues to patch the ramdisk. Voila, it's done. It makes it easier for the devs to work on the kernel and has better compatibility! It does come with it's disadvantages, It can't be flashed ontop of other custom kernels that have modifications in the ramdisk. The patch and ramdisk will cause some trouble because there interefering with each other alright!

How do I install this?
If you already have AOSP with it's stock kernel.
1) Reboot into recovery and flash it like normal
If you have AOSP with a custom kernel like PRIME, Prophecy or Primal.
1) Go to the AOSP ZIP you installed, extract boot.img from there.
2) Boot into recovery, flash the boot image. Don't forget to switch the option from ZIP to IMG if you can't find it in the directory you extracted it from.
3) Then go back to home screen in recovery, and go flash Excel Kernel
I really don't need to explain this in detail and such because if you got here it mean's you know how to install AOSP ROMS. It's pretty simple.

I'm very interested in using your kernel just wondering about the battery life and thermal issues. Whenever I play games it just heats up like crazy in aosp and battery life suffers coz of inefficiency. Just wondering if you've fixed these issues.

In AOSP, those issues are not gonna dissappear but you should see a notable difference. Theres things like hero-common and such I cant fix.

I'll be trying out your kernel tonight

Ayy

Omg....Thermal issue has been pretty much fixed 0.0 however using stock settings did cause system shutdown when running geekbench. Needed to under clocked it significantly but it's so early so its amazing. Will use it the next couple of days and test for battery life

Alright, if you could tell me any sorta info related to the crash i can attempt to fix it

I'm sorry man. PC is broken and that's the only way I know how to get log files XD

Congrats on the kernel mate, keep up the good work

thanks bro

Its alright, ill try recreating your scenario.

a few Misc questions
Hello,
What is typical battery life by default for the Kermit Kernel?
I'm not a gamer so don't do overclocking or highly intense graphics, for me good battery is essential, is there ways I can increase battery longevity?
Does the Kermit Kernel support fast charging by default or must it be enabled?
Does Kermit have support for VoLTE/HD voice and Wifi calling by default or can that be compiled in?
Lastly, does Kermit Kernel have support by default for the doubletap 2 wake feature (originally pioneered by the LG phones, the G2 I believe was first), or can it be compiled in?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hi,
First of great work! I'll be installing the kernel any minute now. I also wonder if it's possible to DT2W in the kernel. Have tried it myself but got lost fairly quick...
Keep up the good work!
Jules.

dt2w?
Hi,
I'd like to know how you atempted dt2w and where you got stuck?
DM me if you want.
What is the current status of kermit?
Thanks.
Dave.

It's in haitus

Phone dies for no apparent reason, usually twice a day. It's completely dead. I have to plug it in for the phone to respond and then I can turn it back on. Phone can be on 100% and be doing the easiest of tasks, and it will happen. Any help is appreciated.

Introduction
NOTE: This kernel is currently not being updated. I recommend using Sultan's kernel instead.
Hello everyone, this is my personal kernel for the Pixel 2 (walleye) and Pixel 2 XL (taimen). I only own the latter but the kernel is fully unified. While I am not a super star kernel developer, I do know my way around it. My philosophy on kernels is pretty simple:
Follow stable Linux always. Updates will be delivered within 24 hours of their release to kernel.org.
Stable kernel rules work best (only add small things when possible).
Security and stability are paramount. Vulnerabilities are patched as soon as they are disclosed.
Features will be added only as needed (I have a list of things in the FAQ I will NOT add, even if requested).
Hopefully you enjoy
Important thread information!
I refuse to acknowledge/respond to bug reports that do not include clear steps to reproduce, a logcat, and a console ramoops (if random rebooting) or a dmesg (any other issues). Follow this guide to do this.
Keep things civil, I do NOT tolerate flaming of any kind.
OT is allowed.
Features
Here are the major features of the kernel (feel free to explore Github)
Up to date with the November security update (android-9.0.0_r0.37) [see device specific notes below]
Up to date with the latest stable Linux version (4.4.162)
Patches from Code Aurora Forum targeting GPU, touchscreen/video, storage, and sound
Kernel hardening from CopperheadOS
Mainline Linux patches for CFQ and media memory allocation
Latest energy aware scheduling patches from kernel/common's android-4.14 branch
Several subsystems converted to use power efficient workqueues
Westwood as the default congestion algorithm
Optimized input and wake boosting and other optimization from Sultanxda
The following user facing features:
KCAL color control
Minimum/maximum backlight control
Vibration control
Wake gestures (thanks to @flar2)
Wakelock control
Latest WireGuard snapshot (0.0.20181018)
Built with a self compiled Clang 7.0 toolchain with a local initialization sanitizer (previously built with the latest Google Clang 6.0 toolchain here)
Hides bootloader unlock from SafetyNet (can still fail through other means)
Available to flash with AnyKernel2 (thanks to @osm0sis) [zip will automatically detect when Magisk is installed and patch the kernel so reflashing Magisk becomes unnecessary]
Downloads
Primary: https://github.com/nathanchance/wahoo/releases
It is called Wahoo as that is the unified name for the Pixel 2 (walleye) and Pixel 2 XL (taimen) [link 1 and link 2].
Installation
NOTE: These sets of steps should work for both initial installations and upgrades. All sane kernels on this device are just replacing the kernel image and maybe adding some cmdline parameters, which this kernel won't care about. If there are ANY issues after flashing this kernel over another, be sure to flash the stock boot image for your ROM, TWRP + Magisk if you want them, then the kernel before reporting any issues.
Through TWRP:
See their instructions for further information, you can install the kernel with TWRP temporarily booted or permanently installed.
Boot into TWRP.
Flash the zip (flashing Magisk is not necessary if you already have it installed).
Reboot and enjoy!
Through FK Kernel Manager (requires root):
Download the zip (and optionally, the md5) from my server
Tap on "Manual flasher"
Navigate to Download
Tap on the zip, select Auto-flash, and choose one of the options.
Reboot and enjoy!

Frequently asked questions
1.1 Q: I am having an issue, can you help me?
1.1 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.
1.2 Q: Can you add xyz feature?
1.2 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 will not go digging super hard for commits and I will ignore requests that don't include this information. I won't promise that I will merge every request but I will always take it into consideration. I will NOT add the following:
Overclocking or underclocking of CPU or GPU
Undervolting
Any governors other than schedutil
Any schedulers other than cfq and maple
Anything that compromises performance
1.3 Q: How do I control the kernel?
1.3 A: I want to be very clear: the kernel does NOT need to be tuned to be useful. Most of the improvements are under the hood and don't require any user intervention to take advantage of them. In fact, if you don't know what you are doing, you could degrade the experience.
To control the user visible features of the kernel listed above, I recommend using either @franciscofranco's FK Kernel Manager (which has Flash Kernel support for downloading and automatically flashing the latest kernel zip along with some nice, user friendly ways for tuning the kernel) or @flar2's EX Kernel Manager.
1.4 Q: OMFG MY BATTERY SUXXXX PLS FIX!!!
1.4 A: The kernel doesn't drain any battery, use an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out what app is screwing with your phone.
Thanks to:
The various other developers for their patches (specifically @zx2c4 for WireGuard)
@osm0sis for AnyKernel2
@franciscofranco for adding Flash Kernel support to FK Kernel Manager
@phantom146 for the thread banner
All of you guys for viewing the thread
A note about donations
Quite a few people have asked to donate to me in the past and I have turned them down. I am not in this for the money, this is my hobby, something I truly enjoy. If you truly want to donate to something (it is not expected in the slightest), I recommend an entity like the Open Source Initiative, the Free Software Foundation, XDA, or any one of the people I have thanked in the OP. Additionally, you are free to copy any and all of my work; the only thing I request is that you not ask for donations as well (though I can't really enforce this lol). Thank you.

DISCLAIMER: I openly welcome off topic in my threads. Mods, please do not clean off topic discussion and users, do not complain about off topic discussion here. I may direct you to another thread if it is so suited but I won't have the discussion cleaned. Thank you.

Device specific nuances
Due to the way Google has structured security on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, TWRP and the boot images may fail to boot when the security updates are out of sync (ROM is on one, kernel/TWRP is on another). I cannot control this. You are responsible for knowing when to flash a new update. If you are boot looping, flash back to the previous boot image.
Some of you may be wondering what this dtbo image is. It is short for device tree blob overlay, which allows Google to unify the kernel for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. You are required to flash this along with the boot image to maintain full compatibility. This is automatically done with the zip so you do not need to worry about anything.

Thanks Nathan! Couldn't be happier you're on board
Edit : Damn Gboard auto correct

Thank you as always Nathan. Nice to come from the 6p running your kernel, and now on the P2XL. Looking forward to what you and Beans have in store for us :good::good:

thanks Nathan!!!! woooo hooooo

I missed your work since i changed from my nexus to pixel. Awesome to have you here!

Awwwwwwwwww yeah!!!!!!!

Thanks Nathan. I just flashed it no problem, great to see you here.

Thank you. Worked great.
Quick question, if I now format user data can I run unencrypted?

Can someone hook me up with an md5?

Ok @nathanchance since off topic is allowed please allow me to use the freedom to say cheers to you! Reading your OP reminded me of why I got into Android. Friendly atmosphere, off topic allowed, not in it for fame or donations and a sense of community contribution. That's what it's all about. :good:

No idea what will happen. As noted in the OP, I don't touch any sort of encryption status. The way things are done on Oreo is vastly different from anything before.

Got it. Is your kernel running enforcing then, or is it permissive.

Enforcing and that will never change. If you want to go permissive, use Magisk to run an init script.

My 2 XL was delivered yesterday afternoon and I didn't have time to set it up until this morning. I check XDA, and voila, there's root and flash kernel. Awesome.
