Hope everyone here is understanding what he does.
Introduction
This is Unlegacy-Android kernel with some extra features that I added/enabled for personal use and decided to share in case someone else like them too.
I've done all I wanted by this moment so probably I am not going to continuously develop and improve this kernel if there will not be such necessity.
If somebody wishes to co-work or continue, I am all for it. Sources are open.

Features
Any bugs/features are the same as on Unlegacy-Android stock kernel except those listed here.
Color control
Allows to adjust display colors (really?).
You need to use third party app like "Trickster MOD" (Requires root) to edit it.
Touch wake and Proximity wake
Old cool feature reworked and improved by me.
Allows to wake device by touching screen and/or proximity sensor.
It's implemented with interrupts and no one wakelocks at all, that means:
No lags. It will always work and will be as responsive as if you pressed power button instead.
(If it still got lag than you would got the same lag if pressed power button at that moment instead.)
Power consumption as minimal as possible. It doesn't keeps device awaken like apps from market, so it can go in deep sleep and not consume power.
The only power is needed is to power the touch screen and/or proximity. It still consumes power but that is neligible.
See proof screenshot below.
You may say that 1.2% per hour is a lot but take in mind that I have 4 years old battery that doesn't work long any longer.
It has no timeouts. Why need them if power consumption is so low?
I've always hated apps from market that works while you play with them and don't in an hour.
But they at least had reason of big power consumption due keeping device awaken.
How to enable and setup:
Again you need to use third party app like "Trickster MOD" (Requires root) to activate and edit it settings.
The property "Delay" sets mode, not delay (I used settings from old version).
Touch - wake device by touching screen
Proximity - wake device by proximity sensor
LongTouch - addition to Touch. If long press screen than device will sleep again after finger released.
Example: Touch and hold, device will wake up you will see what you want (e.g. time), release, device fall asleep again.
1 = Touch
2 = Proximity
3 = Touch and Proximity
5 = Touch and LongTouch
7 = Touch and LongTouch and Proximity
Manually setting from terminal
enabling
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/touchwake/enabled
setting mode. multiply desired mod on 1000. e.g. 7 = 7000
Code:
echo 7000 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/touchwake/delay

Installation instructions

*** Disclaimer
This kernel only for [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/3334574/"]Unlegacy-Android[/URL].
Sure you can try your luck in booting it on another ROM, but that is probably wasting of time.
Prepare your current zimage or boot.img backup for case this kernell will not boot
Boot in bootloader manually or by adb command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Flash downloaded zimage with fastboot. Replace zimage-file with path to downloaded zimage.
Code:
fastboot flash zimage zimage-file
Reboot
Code:
fastboot reboot
Sorry for not providing flashable in recovery zip. I had some problems with it.

Thanks for your reply @Voron.exe
I build VoronK touch-wake from source but it still not boot on 7.1.1. so I applied your commits on the aosp-7.1 branch of UA tuna kernel and resulting kernel boots fine.
Let's me test how touchwake work (tomorrow).
thanks

Cool! I was going to make the same today but you did it first. )
Going to publish that 7.x version a bit later.
UPDATE:
I've try ua_tuna-ota-20170122 (aosp-7.1) build and it doesn't boot even with stock kernel.
What build is the last working?

Ei Voron.exe, thanks for sharing your work.
I just want to point out a wrong link in the first post --> VoronK-zimage-5.x-7.x-220117-f6cad32 (link to 4.4 version).
Only for distracted people like me (I've flashed the 4.4 kernel on 6 build LoL)
Flashed the right version, and all is ok!
thanks!

None of them, you need to rebuild a permissive kernel to be able to boot 7.1.1. ATM all nougat builds for tuna from unlegacy site bootloops due to some selinux denials.
Plus, to successfully build a tuna kernel from 7.1 ua branch you need to revert these two commits, which borked kernel build:
http://gerrit.unlegacy-android.org/1151
http://gerrit.unlegacy-android.org/1153
Hope it helps.

Oh..
I've spent a day and finally got working version for aosp_7.1_tuna_2016-10-21.zip that I published.
For 7.1.1. no luck. You said that have successfully booted by own build?
I can add your version here if you don't mind, cause I get tired of these rebuilds and don't want to spent more time on version that I am not going to use.

No problem, PM me a way to sent it... I've fresh built touch-wake-7.1 branch, works on today UA build.
Just a bug report: during a phone call proximity sensor is active and if you have enabled "power button end call" in Accessibility menu it hangs call. Thus even if you have enabled only touch or touch and long touch....

It's working flawlessly in ua_tuna-ota-20170116 (aosp-6.0) build, but I haven't tried phone calls. Could you consider to implement, if it's not to difficult, double tap to wake instead of only one tap?

oh my god...new kernel for old Gnex, it is excellent!!!:highfive:

I've already done workaround for phone calls and some more fixes but not yet published.
As for double tab I will see what can I do. Wait a bit for new versions soon, current is a bit buggy.
UPDATE THOUGHTS:
I am currently thinking on implementing all this in kernel module instead of rebuilding kernel.
The PGM/TouchControl guy did the same, sadly he didn't open sources and abandoned development for few income.
If I'll succeed than probably I'll turn this project into an app.

Okay. I've done some work and have some success with modules.
I am planing to make and app that will allow to add this features (touch wake and color control at least) to any tuna kernel and rom and possible in future to other devices too.
The app will (obviously)require root and will be shared for free without ads/trial/limitations but with optional donate.
Does anybody interested in such app? Is it worth to continue?
Cause I've reached all features I wanted and there will be no sense to continue develop if no one interested in results.
Please tell me what you think!

I think that's a great idea. I think you could probably do it far more easily with AnyKernel2 also.

As I understand AnyKernel2 is a script for flashing a kernel into ROM with any ramdisk (Am I wrong?).
If so I can't see any benefits of using it, cause there are much bigger ROM/Kernel incompatibility issues than just a ram disk.
What I do (and almost done) done now is a kernel modules that can be loaded in any kernel (almost) so I can no more care about building own kernel for each ROM version.
Instead I will care about compatibility with different kernels. On the other side users will be free to use kernels which they like.

Thank you too! Your posts make's me to continue developing, although it's not easy, cause I have to study also.
I wonder how many Galaxy Nexus devices still in use?
I fill like there about 100 in the world and I am one of them!
Hope that isn't true =D

You can use AnyKernel2 to flash over any ramdisk as well as any zImage if you want, check out my GN Synapse Injector zip. So if you want to add modules, etc. to any kernel/ROM AK2 should be much easier than an app I would think!

I cannot comment on technical issues, but I do think color control is mandatory in a ROM. And in any computer system, in fact.

One big release of CM13 has 9000 downloads, and a big release of UA 7.1 has 10,000 downloads. Maybe half or less of all current users would ever download these. Personally I have not downloaded either. So I think your feeling is not true. There are more than 100 Galaxy Nexus users.

With the app it's not hard too. It's like "insmod mymodule.ko". Only needs a root.
App can download anybody and no need to deal with recovery and manual flashing.
Anyway app will needed to control module settings. I think it's more user friendly..

K860/i CM10.1 - Linaro - beta 1 -updated 19.10.'13

Versioning explained:
>>>>>>>>>|0.92*|>>>> alpha>>>>>>beta>>>>RC>>>>1.0>>>>>
*0.92 will be removed as an option once RC comes out
This ROM is a spin-off from Mr. Linscue's and CyanogenMod sources.
What makes it different is that it is built with Linaro toolchain, current 4.7., instead of Google supplied one.
It's a product of my curiosity, Mr. Linkscue's extensive patience with helping me to understand the whole picture and his work so far on our devices. This wouldn't be possible without him.
To be able to build with Linaro toolchain there is a lot of CM source editing and git cherry-picking to make code fit for Linaro's GCC so the final ROM can actually be compiled. Thanks to Open Source, Android, internet and XDA-devs, I have been able to make it real by collecting the info and conveying it to this ROM.
I have to remind you, this is my personal build, it was never intended to be released to the wide public, I'm not a programmer/coder and there is no warranty.
Few notes:
1
The build: This is a first functional build through Linaro for this phone. It's compiled with -O3 flag, so /system (ROM) side is 90% optimized. I' m continuing to find proper code snippets that will further improve the build.
2
Battery life. Kernel used is prebuilt Lenovo, therefore battery life should be similar to official ROM, bar the specific LenovoPower settings, however if you are installing CM you are expected to know how to manage your phone. Without Lenovo's updated kernel sources, further optimizations are not possible, either for performance or extending battery life. If you are experiencing poor battery life, there are two things, 1. You have just I nstalled the ROM, give it a few days for system to settle in. There are few things going on during first day or two that might deteriorate your battery life 2. You have an app installed that is keeping your phone awake, preventing it to go to deep sleep. You can install BetterBatteryStats from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 and find the offending app.
3
If you like it, use it. We are fixing general bugs as we go, and we know what those are. You may report them here but don't expect them to be fixed. Any app addition request or AOKP/MIUI/whatever port will not be entertained. As I said in the beginning, this is my personal build and I'm just sharing it with you.

Why name it SENNA: Ayrton Senna: “And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.This rom was made possible thanks to:
1.
linkscue
2.
zuncun
3.
xda-dev usersDJLamontagneIII, @Dri94
4.
OpenSource
5.
Linaro
Sharing is caring, so if you want to repost this ROM to other places, I don't care but I do ask you kindly to refer to http://bbs.lephone.cc/k860/t570716/
Since 99% of the work is by Mr. Linkscue,take your time and drop by his thread: http://bbs.lephone.cc/k860/t553805/1/ and give him some kudos.
That's all.
Two releases:
SENNA 0.92
Latest CM source
Reverted the codecs to official, now video is ok
Updated busybox binary
Special thanks to linkscue on his continued support
SENNA beta 1
Kernel is built from Lenovo old source and adapted for JB
Both kernel and ROM are built with Linaro at O3 optimization level
Samsung's gralloc, hwconverter, fimg and kernel mali drivers, readjusted memory use, replaced ion libs.
Bloetooth works.
Disable HW overlays to have video working in landscape mode
(Current result on Antutu is 21605) (I have to note here that I have noticed performance deterioration, the number you get varies and drops on subsequent tests)
SENNA beta 1
[bugfix] *Wireless hotspot - so far ONLY open network is supported
*replaced Bluedroid stack with Bluez - core to UI - BT works now,
****please report special use cases if there are bugs.****

Flash it as you would do with the ROM and then go to Settings/Advanced/K860(i) Install gms. Reboot. All should be there. In the same menu you are also able to lock the MAC address so it doesn't change on reboot.

first to vote for 5 star YAY
easily a 5 star for me since i dont know any programming/coding and im too lazy to do so...almost no support on lenovo ROM side so this addition is very much welcome...please keep it updated and kudos/respect to you my sir :good::good:
my only request would be a transparent and small on screen button for more screen orientation (see attached of my current screen)
you can get the systemUI here http://bbs.lephone.cc/thread-556541-1-1.html thanks thanks

I'm sorry, you are talking about transparent taskbar? That iis as much as I could understand from the pics you posted.
To put it bluntly, what is going on now is trying to build kernel from source to match 4.2.2 and then cleaning up of proprietary files. Any UI polishing/additions I might consider at later date. So far, it seems to be a very far date But hey, it is functioning so far and sorry, but no..

Phone board/bootloader recognizes several operating modes like off charge, on, off, test etc. Mr. Scue identified them and it is working, however there is a problem that when you boot the phone after charging it in off mode, screen will turn white around the edges sometimes. For safety of your devices this part of functionality is not included yet.
I'm not familiar with the USSD problem yet. Will have a look into it, but if it wasn't working in official release, it could take time to make it working here.

I am not familiar with the workings of youtube app (I assume you have successfully installed Play store and had it installed from there) so I am not sure what video/audio codecs it uses.
I can tell you right now one thing, related to video playback and Samsung's OMX codecs (the ****ty opensource ones) hw accel. video on this ROM is currently broken. I will soon reissue the ROM with files from official ROM to have that part working again, until I sort out what gets broken on OSS ones.
Currently I'm hands deep in kernel, I managed to transplant updated mali drivers into the old source to make it run on 4.2.2 and did some ugly hack job on HAL layer to have CM working, I have it at system stable level now. I'm tired and sorry for not being of much help, please google yourself and see what exactly are youtube app dependencies to make the videos run. If it uses on board hw codecs, I already told you what is the problem.
EDIT: try to disable GPU rendering for a test, in Developer options. just to see.

I flash several times this rom and always the same 2 problems ! Wifi doesnt work ! Stays there it said "turning wifi on..." and the 2nd camera program ( i dont remember the name ) always force close !!! Thanks
Sent from my K860 using xda app-developers app

what a great rom !! i hope you can fix the youtube problem and others minor problem soon!! :good:

Yup tried with GPU rendering disabled, HW accel enabled disabled.. Not just with youtube, videos don't work on many video content apps like imdb etc..

[ROM] [AOSP][5.1.1] SlimLP (D2SPR) Beta 0.13

Reserved
Ok I am going to make it Abundantly Clear. So there is ZERO I mean ZERO CONFUSION.
What this is NOT -
This is not a Weekly. This is not Stable. If you are looking for either, you are in the wrong thread.
This is Not a Daily Driver. If you are looking for one, go to SlimKat Thread.
This is not Fully Functional Picture Perfect Rom. You do not get to Complain and call names on the thread if you expected anything else.
This Build does have bugs. Those that are known to me are listed Bellow.
What this is -
This is an Early Alpha Build. To those who don't know, that's prior Stage of a Beta or Weekly Build.
Its a Preview of things to come. If you notice, my list of Features is lacking quiet a few of Slim Features.
Yes there are bugs. The ones I do know are
Root does not Stick. See Notes Bellow.
Stock Camera clicks but does not take pictures. When you switch to Video Mode, you'd get error "Unable to Connect to Camera". Afterwards you have to reboot to clear.
Some of the 3rd Party Camera Apps work. For Ex. Open Camera, VivaVideo
APN Menu does not show any of the APNs for at least Sprint Variant.
When connected to WiFi, MMS are delayed. Only seems to affect D2VZW.
NOTES -
You must Flash SuperSU [STABLE][2015.01.20] SuperSU v2.4.5 as a Zip file along after flashing Rom.
If you posted a bug/issue not listed above, without a Logcat, I will ignore it.
Unless specified otherwise, do not dirty flash on top of SlimKat or Other Roms. If you did and then complained even with Logcat, I will ignore.

Reserved

Just in case.

So far, this is running very smoothly with no issues other than the known bugs.
Battery life not quite what I have with SlimKat 9, but not bad. And, to be fair, I tested it for less than 24 hours. Also had an issue with WiFi not turning itself back on while using LeanDroid, but it worked fine after I uninstalled the app. Very impressive for an Alpha, though. If it's not quite a daily driver, it's damn close. Hopefully the camera lib problem across all the d2 LP builds will be solved soon.
As for MVNO APNs, I'm on Ting and flashing their APN's after rom & gapps worked fine (data, LTE, etc).

I wonder if Slim is ever going to bring back CM themes, it's the only thing holding me back.

That's for RingPlus, but same idea. I found the Ting apn zip here: https://help.ting.com/entries/23423026-Flashable-Zip-Fixed-LTE-eHRPD-for-CyanogenMod
I use the 4.3 file, but it works for 4.4 and 5, too.

Yes - I can access it using Google Gesture Search. Also, regarding Open Camera - it works for the most part, but occasionally it will lock up if I tap the screen to focus. A reboot is needed to use the camera again.

That's mighty helpful. Are you able to switch from one APN to another if you wanted to do so ? Also I understand, the menu to APN does not Appear under Setting>Mobile Data > Access Point Names. Is that right ? Eitehr that or don't see a listing at the said place.

Just start drawing A-P-N and it should appear on the list. It usually appears after just the A for me. Also, I found a major bug the hard way this morning when the alarm didn't sound. It was set to the priority profile, so it should have worked. I also had no ringtone for one phone call this morning (default profile), but it worked for another. I'll try to reproduce at least the ringtone issue for a logcat, but then I'll have to go back to KK.
Update: Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the the alarm/ringtone issue. But, full disclosure, I forgot I was using BMS kernel at the time (sorry, love the cold trinity colors and the battery life it gives me on KK). I went back to the stock kernel nandroid I have and did the testing. So maybe it's a third-party kernel problem, or it could have something to do with the phone being in deep sleep for an extended period of time, which was the other variable. I'll do more testing when I can, but I have a busy week ahead, so it won't be right away.

Sorry it took me a while to get to this. I was able to access the APN menu and switch it to Ting, but I was only able to get 3g. Strangely, after switching, I was not able to see the APNs and got the "...not available to this user" message.
I then went back into recovery, wiped the caches, and flashed my APN file. I went back to the APN menu (still getting that message), reset to default, toggled airplane mode on and off, and now I have LTE. I can now see the APN menu again, but it's only the Ting APNs that I flashed. This, by the way, was how I got LTE on KitKat, too. Switching via the APN menu only gave me 3g.

I highly recommend a full backup before flashing this ROM.Again,I am not responsible if you lose any or all of your data!

Downloading, I wish youtube problem at 720p is resolved
Edit #1: The zoom in youtube videos continues, the "solution" I found is to see the video to the desired quality and when the error occurs, press the home button, open the multitasking and return to the video, this corrects the problem, in some Cases zoom back
PS: I speak Spanish, so I used the google translator

Thanks a lot for your great ROMs! I'll try this one right away because I always considered slim to be one of the smoothest, fastest ROMs out there. The only reason I didn't use it, is because there wasn't a Nougat version, but now there is! Thank you so much!
EDIT: After a few minutes of testing, I've found a few minor bugs. One of them is quite annoying, the other two can be ignored in my opinion.
1. When enabling and disabling the navigation bar multiple times in a row very quickly, SystemUI crashes. It happened by accident, but it was quite weird. (however it doesn't really matter because 'normal' people would never experience this)
2. When opening additional settings in the settings menu, SlimSettings crashes.
3. I'm not really sure if this is a bug, or if this is intentional, but the battery percentage in the status bar has changed into a tilde. So instead of 4%, the status bar now says 4~, which seems strange.

Yes, the home button doesn't wake the device. I don't really think this is a bug. I personally do not like it. Although I know some will. It should be a fairly easy fix for the next build.

I tried installing the viper4android, but it asks me to install the drivers always, even with the nougat fix, I'm not sure that it could be failing, maybe another sound mod will work, with the ums enabler (mass storage) asks me to change the kernel to permissive , Which seems strange to me because the default comes like this, maybe that's why I can not install the viper4android
#edit 1:
I have a question, the next updates have OTA support or will it be necessary to flash manually?

I haven't messed with Viper4Android on any nougat ROMS, so I can't really help there, sorry. At some point I will though.
I may look into implementing OTA for this ROM. I'm not sure at this point. It just depends on a few things. Either way, for sure the next update will need to be manually flashed.

Make sure you go to terminal and type: getenforce
If it said enforcing you have to type: setenforce 0
Then check with getenforce again and see if it says permissive now.

The battery percentage is a normal percentage again now. Maybe that's because I rebooted my phone yesterday but it seems to work now!

Is there a way to turn off button illumination in Slim7 without installing a night mode app? In my opinion night mode apps have some disadvantages so I'd prefer a different way.

Just installed Gravitybox and tested myself, looks like the same issues here. A reboot after applying some different settings didn't work, the only thing that seemed to work was brightness control under status bar. I'm compiling a personal build of Slim for my G4 Play and when it's done I'll try there too to see if it's an issue with the ROM sources itself or if it's phone-specific.

Gravitybox does say custom rom use is hit or miss so it's not surprising. I know slim is missing a few features so using gravitybox is desired, but still not surprised.

Like many similar modules GB works best on close AOSP clones. That said, it works fairly well on most ROMs excluding areas of direct overlap like navbar, quick settings and status bar tweaks. I ran Slim on a different device and don't recall significant issues with GB compatibility. But that was awhile ago; things may have changed.

Thank you for the ROM. So far working great!
I am one of the voters who voted for Slim ROM so I am really happy to see it live.

I'm currently starting development of a kernel, but I plan on releasing a new update to Slim in a few days in case they update sources to the February security patch, and I want to include a messaging app and some kind of browser right out of the box, that way it's a bit more convenient when first setting it up. Someone also found a way to get LTE working for CDMA, only tested on Sprint currently, but we're going to be working further with that to try and incorporate at least part of the fix, I'm going to see if they can get a guide up on here for everyone for the rest of it

He's not allowed.

New update in OP. Nothing major, just a few upstream source changes. I personally like ROMs to be updated until the source stops updating, so expect a crDroid update soon too. Dot no longer is updating their Nougat branch (To my knowledge) so I don't think there will be an update for that, but I'll check regardless. In a few weeks I'll (hopefully) be releasing a custom Kernel I'm working on too if all goes as planned!

Kernel features:
Powered by Ubuntu 18.04.3 x86_64 (sparky VPS @ www.servercore.com.br - thanks @ChristianLetti)
Build with custom toolchain blu_gcc-9.2.0 (cortex-a76.cortex-a55 targeted, build with latest Crosstool-NG from GCC-9.2.0 snapshot)
Full -O2 build with device and target flags enhanced, linaro build improvements, etc
Less is more: stockish OP7 builds based on OnePlusOSS/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8150 for max stability
Systemless installer (doesn't touch system partition, OTA friendly), AnyKernel3 backend (compatible with autoflash apps)
Removed some debug and logging options
ARM enhanced performance and battery patches
CVE security patches, general upstream and CAF fixes for important subsystems
Several CPU Governors (blu_schedutil modded governor merged from latest CAF sm8150 patchset)
No OC, use 300HZ base timer frequency
msm_performance touchboost toggle on/off (enabled by default), tweaked cpu_boost driver
Enhanced TCP methods (westwood is default), Network tweaks and updated drivers
Several I/O control tweaks, added schedulers ZEN v2 is default, advanced filesystems enabled (F2FS, ExFAT, NTFS, CIFS & NFS)
Patched SafetyNet flags to pass CTS
Stock thermal driver by default
ZRAM Swap (LZ4) and with file disabled
Vibrator Strength tunable and Gesture Haptic Feedback control (touchpanel and FPR)
KGSL fixes and reworked GPU driver
adrenoboost enabled by default at low level
KCAL - Advanced color control for Qualcomm MDSS v2 (RGB calibration and post-processing features)
KLAPSE support (v5.0)
USB Fast Charge (USB mode up to 900mA with MTP on)
FS fsync toggle on/off
Wakelock blockers available
wireguard support
CDROM emulation on mass_storage (compatible with DriveDroid 0.10.36+)
Compatible with Kernel Adiutor, EXKM, FKM and others
DOWNLOAD KERNEL ZIP(No mirrors please)
Warning: If you come from other kernel or have any issues, you should dirty flash your ROM before flashing blu_spark zip to avoid problems.
Reflash ROM -> flash TWRP --> reboot to recovery --> flash Magisk if you want (default, no plugins/modules) -> flash blu_spark.
If you are already rooted or upgrading between blu_spark versions, just flash the kernel zip. Also uninstall or clean data of any kernel control app you're using.
About bugs and troubleshoots: don't bother to post if a log isn't ready or without steps so the behavior can be replicated. I only active support stock OOS with NO mods whatsoever (apart from root). That includes NO support if using xposed, Magisk with modules, etc.
If you're using custom ROMs (including OOS based ones) or Open Betas you're on your own. I'm only interested on debugging stuff in stock and stable OOS.
Save the SOT and battery stats/screenshots for general threads, here we deal with development, not personal tastes and results.
Also don't spam this thread with CM or other ROMs stuff like "this don't work, my app doesn't open, etc" , no OT about OTAs, apps, ROM bugs, Recovery/TWRP troubleshoots and other userspace stuff. There's threads for it, use them.
Going back to stock: This kernel installer doesn't change your filesystem. You can backup your boot.img with TWRP before flashing blu_spark if you want to go back to full stock or just dirty flash your full ROM.
If you like my work, donations are always welcome.

Keep in mind: I will give no active support for custom ROMs (including OOS based ones).
I am only interested on debugging stuff in stock and stable OOS (with logs and reproducible steps to replicate the issue).
Don't spam this thread with LOS or other ROMs stuff like "this don't work, my app doesn't open, etc" or debugging features.
Also don't go spam and bug reporting on ROM threads if using this.

Flashed and booted fine with EXKM.
Used this awesome kernel on the 5T and expect nothing less.
Awesome work!

Hi, will this work on OP7T Pro McLaren Edition? Thx

oooo nice :good:

nice to see you here[emoji106]thxs for you work.

Anyone have tried to use twrp to flash this kernel yet?
How to use twrp to flash in? With USB stick?
Nice work

great stuff and really nice features - thanks for this !
gonna flash it right now ...
2 questions:
- reworked GPU driver: what has been reworked here ? Will this affect performance or compatibility (vulkan/ ogl ?)
- Could you add audio-tweaks like global earpiece/ main-speaker gains (so one can modify these in EXKM for example ?)
Stereo-Panorama isn't very well balanced - at least MY main speaker is too loud. Of course we have the audio-balance in Android 10 now, but not all sources (e.g. most emulators) don't play audio through it ...
thanks and regards

Don't know what differences that model has.
If it's the same as 7T pro it should work.
Backup and test if you want to try and let us know

Yeah twrp should work fine with zip sideload or using usb stick.
Or use autoflash kernel apps like FKM on a rooted environment and profit

Drivers from the graphic stack have been trimmed on cruft, debug, logging, etc to make it a bit more efficient. Also some patches to improve interactiveness. GPU boost is also available to tune it up if you game alot.
Full compatibility with anything same as stock.
I will not touch anything audio related, sorry.

Flashed OOS, phone seems to be a bit faster. Noticed quicker loading of widgets after boot.
But there seems to be a bit to much brightness while booting, as boot animation overshoots it's limits :/
The other issue I had was missing all stock sounds, like ringtones and notifications.
I could only use my own sounds from internal storage. :/
Left with new kernel, right is with stock.

OOS is always for OOS based ROMs.
Custom is for AOSP/CAF ROMs.

Thanks for testing. It may be small changes then.
What ROM does the device run? May be just a case of binaries/kernel mismatch.
If is something done on purpose because of SKU difference, coded on dtb and or even worse in drivers, may be more hard to address.
In the past we had checks we could fake SKU to have the themes and stuff available, I'll take look.

Thanks, I have included details of my ROM in the attachment.
I think my ROM is global, as just after receiving device from OnePlus UK it was on 10.0.1, than OTA full update to10.0.3 from OOS.
Data as per Oxygen Updater:
OOS Ver: 10.0.3.HD01BA
OTA Ver: OnePlus7TProOxygen_14.E.07_GLO_007_1910120134
Incremental OS Ver: 1910120055

Thanks man. Device is running great on this kernel but I've noticed since I flashed it this morning that the fingerprint reader is really flakey, has anyone else noticed this? I've reregistered a few times but I find I have to try 5-6 times to unlock whereas before it worked first time every time.

I have the same problem. It's also with kirisakura kernel.
Only flars kernel doesn't have this behavior so far.
Thanks for providing the kernel too us anyways.

Been noticing this too.
But it only happens when device falls into deep sleep (?) for me.
Example:
I woke this morning and device been sleep overnight the fingerprint wasn't recognized
When I took a shower and came back the fingerprint wasn't recognized.
However when I unlock it and use the phone for a minute or so the fingerprint starts to work fine again.
