Hi @optimumpro does it require a App to activate these features or just Flash?
And thanks man..

No app is required. With Apparmor, default policy is used, but, as with SeLinux, you can create your own init.d scripts for every app you have.
Nice Kernel, already flashed and works good so far. I'm feeling more save now ^_^

How about adding credits to darkcyanogenmod where you forked the kernel from...
"How about adding credits to darkcyanogenmod where you forked the kernel from... "
Forget about darkcyanogenmod -- too much noise. I have forked directly from CM.
Again, take it easy...
Optimum. Just give credits to things you took from people. Because your cause to much hassle and there be a big fight!
Sent from Xperia Z1 - Customized Rooted by a smartarse 13 Year old - Hehe
When I compiled the rom, I gave credit to Darkcm, you are welcome to read it. With this kernel, there is no connection to Darkcm. I forked it directly from Cyanogen and gave credit to them. If you have trouble understanding Gpl and open source, read it until you do.
I would prefer that we don't communicate anymore, and please stay off this thread.
Kind regards.
Stable Kernel
Stable Kernel. No issues whatsoever. I'm running CM11 (11-20141118-NIGHTLY-honami), 4.4.4. Thanks!
Kernel upgraded to include TWRP 2.8.0.1. See Download section. Now, your CM based rom can have TWRP recovery.

Development Goals:
- stability
- energy savings due to more efficient ARM algorithms
- strictly no overclocking unless approved by the manufacturer or my source base integrates it (also, even if my source base integrates it, expect no support for it)
- no undervolting as well unless the manufacturer approves it since it's relatively pointless IMHO...
- all improvements should require MINIMAL user interaction (e.g. you don't need to do anything except flash the kernel or at the very least use SetCPU or the like to set fixed options)
- stability
*note: FAQ is at the 3rd post
20151105_11XX:
- updated to MRA58Y
- huge number of changes (see GitHub)
20151018_20XX:
- enabled KSM and ZRAM for increased memory flexibility
20151015_11XX:
- huge number of improvements (see GitHub)
- updated ramdisk to LUZ59Q
20151012_17XX:
- initial release
- compiled using own GCC 5.2 compiler
*not yet in recovery flashable zip format so for advanced users for now

Can I use this on Wileyfox Swift CyanogenOS?
is this kernel, will works on infinix hot 2 X510 indonesia?
Hi. Thanks for this and it's really a great work.
Mind if you answer some newbie questions?
How do I enter to fastboot? I have already installed all the required drivers and I know how to run the commands.
It is just that I cant figure out how to enter to fastboot.
When I run fastboot via cmd "adb reboot bootloader" , the device just reboot and nothing happens(will reboot but stuck on CherryMobile logo). Btw, I'm also using One G1 on stock 5.1.1. I just want try your kernel.
I have also tried some key combinations like volume up + power button( android logo appears with a text saying no command). When I use voume down + power, nothing also happens, same with volume up + volume down + power button. This device is really tricky.
Edit: I have finally got it working already. SuperThankss!

Once you initiate "adb reboot bootloader", the Cherry Mobile logo itself will be the fastboot mode.

What is the difference?
RELEASE: Tested after integrating new features, more stable than NIGHTLY. (Odexed builds)
NIGHTLY: Built daily with newest code and experimental features, might contain undiscovered bugs. (Deodexded builds)
HISTORY: Final odexded builds once a newer Android version is out and being built.
EXPERIMENTAL: Released when a new device is added or when a new feature is added for public beta testing and feedback. (Deodexded builds)
UNOFFICIAL: Maintained separately by individual developers, usually involves modification of shared code which cannot be merged (affects other devices), therefore maintained by the developer himself.
THIS IS A UNOFFICIAL VERSION BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE BUILT AT OFFICIAL SERVER! I just want you know Mokee and other AOSP ROM can't be official unless alberto96's lineage os be official.
I won't have time to update it anymore,you can use my source to continue it.See you next summer,everyone.(if nobody want to continue it,I will update it mouthly.(Sometimes weekly)
About
MoKee Open Source is based on the Google AOSP. We update our source code frequently to keep up with the latest development, and not forgetting to merge in special features of our own at the same time.
A small group of people from around the world who are interested in Android launched this project on the 12th of December 2012, and is committed to make this ROM better and better. Like most contributors of open source projects (Omni, CyanogenMod, Slim AOSPA etc), we are doing all these in our free time as our passion…
Since this project is open source, anyone interested can participate in the development (maintain new devices, contribute code etc). Newcomers are always welcomed!
Read here for developer application: http://www.mfunz.com/en/developer-application, you can host your unofficial MoKee builds on our server!

There is a error in make SD card as internal storage, so it can't move app to SD card in Nougat.

I think it maybe a little better than Lineage OS because source is optimized.
Here is the screenshot, regularly, if it show's 3 hours left, it actually can use 3~4 hours
Lineage OS often show's 2 or 3 hours left, so I think it was a little better than Lineage OS.
But due to the exynos hardware, it will be heat if you use your phone to play a big game or other heavy CPU work, it can't be solved because exynos 5410 is heat and battery drain since it be announced.
Hey, guys.
Delta update is come back now, you will see it in today's update.
Edited
Delta update is available.
Camera2.zip for installed stock gapps guys.
About how to use, please read the main post.
Edited
This file is useless, you need get Camera2.app from 7.23 ROM zip.
Edited 7.25
Mokee updated the check script, it is no need to keep Camera2 installed.
Nice work

Tell me, what bugs are there? And can I use opengapps aroma?
What bugs do we have here?
Does it support remapping the hardware keys (like RR) for example, you can use long press on back button to get you back to home..
Please make a telegram group to discuss the ROM..
And for battery drain, I suggest you to underclock the CPU to 450mhz and use only two cores.
I didn't understand how to use smart pack Kernel, can you explain?

About battery drain, Mokee Open Source make some optimizations, and kernel is not been limited.
About using smartpack Kernel, you can use twrp to flash it, and I am working for merge smartpack kernel to Mokee.
About telegram group, I am so sorry that I can't make one because Chinese telephone number is limited in sent message to strangers.

Introduction
Hello everyone, this is a thread to introduce both users and kernel developers to the concept of linux-stable as well as give developers some tips and a tree to either merge into their own, use as a base, or just as a reference. Feel free to ask questions and enjoy!
What is it?
linux-stable is, as the name implies, the stable branch of the Linux kernel, the base of Android. The phone could not run without the Linux kernel (at least not without reworking a lot of stuff). The Android kernels are based on the longterm stable trees:
Longterm
There are usually several "longterm maintenance" kernel releases provided for the purposes of backporting bugfixes for older kernel trees. Only important bugfixes are applied to such kernels and they don't usually see very frequent releases, especially for older trees.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Source: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
All Linux development happens on the master branch, which is governed by Linus Torvalds. When issues are discovered there, the fixes are applied then backported to these various stable trees for consumption. It is not uncommon for a fix to need to go back a few years.
There is a LOT more information available in the notes repo in the android-linux-stable organization if you care to learn more in-depth: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/notes
What does this mean for me?
If you are a developer, this means you should be merging these changes into your own tree. These are vetted, stable fixes to real world problems and they are being handed out for free. It does not take long to get up to date (as you can just merge this tree directly into your own or do it yourself using the tree as a reference) and once you are up to date, there is usually a release once every two weeks, give or take. I provide a rebuttal to a lot of various complaints here. If you still feel like there is a good reason not to do this, please let me know, I'll be happy to try and debate on it!
If you are a user, it means that you should be looking for and using kernels that have these fixes, as it shows the developers care for your security and stability. The current version for this device is 4.4.78 on OOS and 4.4.100 on Lineage while the current version upstream is 4.4.162 so all you need to do is go into Settings > About phone and look at the kernel version to know if you are up to date.
How do I use?
If you are a developer, the reference tree is located in the android-linux-stable organization: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/op5
There are three branches, one for OxygenOS 8.0 stable, one for OyxgenOS 8.1 beta, and one for Lineage 15.1.
This can either be merged into your existing kernel tree if you have one or be used as a fresh base. You do not need my permission to use it nor do you need to give me credit (although it would be appreciated).
If you are a user, use a kernel that has the changes added in!

Getting help
If you have any issues with getting these changes into your tree or want to ask a question, there are a few different ways to do it:
Post in this thread
Join the linux-stable support chat on Telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/C1UAJ1EMSX31PCFdwLnOSg
File an issue either in the android-linux-stable notes repo or the android-linux-stable repo for this device
When requesting help, please give some solid details as to what you are struggling with, as I am happy to provide assistant and clarity but not to do something for you (unless I screwed up).
From what I understand, you're creating a space where you're updating the stock Kernel to the latest Linux tags and creating a clean base that others can develop upon for a consistently updated kernel?
Seems to me like the epitome of a community project and in keeping with the heart behind open source.
Great work Nathan!!!

Exactly correct I have seen others grab my kernel and base their work upon (which I have zero issues with) but I know most do it because I've merged linux-stable as one of my first things. Figured I would make their lives easier (plus doing the conflict resolution summaries helped me validate my own work). I am mulling over posting these to the mailing lists so other mainline Linux developers with these devices can easily test new builds and get the latest fixes without needing to do the work themselves (even if they are fully capable).

If you're doing the work anyway and it's just a simple push to mailing list then might as well. Others can choose whether to use it or not but at least it's there. :good:

This isn't a kernel you flash, this is something for developers to use in their own work. For example, my kernel Flash already has all of this, which you can flash.
Nice. How about GCC error fixes and wifi stack driver in this base?

I toyed with the idea of doing two branches (one for building, one for usability) but decided against it as 1. I want this source to be as plain as possible and 2. It doesn't fully fit with the idea of this project. This purely to help developers get up and running with linux-stable, not a fully fledged custom kernel. I will consider adding the GCC fixes to the usability README though, that could be useful.
You are a true asset to this community!
4.4.103 has been merged in, with conflict notes updated accordingly.
Oh boy oh boy it might be time for a rebase for me
4.4.104 has been merged in, with conflict notes updated accordingly.
I truly apologize to anyone who was tracking the tree because I just force pushed. I decided to update the location and branch name and wanted everything to be consistent. It is now up to date with 4.4.105.
I have updated the OP with the notes and tree location. The new notes are on the staging branch right now, they will be merged into master once everything is finalized.
I'm sorry being out off topic, but can i use this https://github.com/android-linux-stable/msm-3.18 kernel source as base for my soc (msm8937) sir?

Most likely yes. For the future, this thread is geared towards the generic CAF trees (msm-3.18 and msm-4.4). Feel free to ask me anything over there.
4.4.106 has been merged in (conflict notes).
4.4.107 has been merged in.
4.4.108 has been merged in.
4.4.109 has been merged in (conflict notes).
4.4.110 has been merged in (conflict notes).
LineageOS 16.0 for Xiaomi Mi 5 with 4.4 kernel
Remember this is a beta release, althought I've been using it for more than a week and it's working perfectly.
If you experience any bugs, panics or so, please report full logs to me (logcat and dmesg, you can look in /sys/fs/pstore)
Installation:
You can flash it on top of OFFICIAL 3.18 LOS also you can always go back within a dirty flash.
For safety reasons always perform a backup of your important data!
Features:
This is well-known LOS, none of the functionalities have been altered.
Build is running 4.4.189 kernel with many improvements over 3.18, it will keep this device alive for upcoming Android releases.
Kernel is suited with initial bug fixes, however, it's a stock kernel without any advanced tweaks. It's built with CLANG (!).
Working:
Probably everything!
Not working:
Kernel is permissive
Temporary MTP fix (I didn't have enough time to investigate it well):
Developer settings -> Default USB conf -> MTP -> connect cable -> profit
READ ONLY IF YOUR DEVICE IS ENCRYPTED:
There is an incompatibility between 3.18 and 4.4 kernels, you have to flash new TWRP with 4.4 kernel, otherwise your data partition will be DAMAGED!
Nevertheless there could be a need to full wipe your /data (magic Format Data button in TWRP) so perform a FULL BACKUP.
Download:
LineageOS zip
TWRP
Future development:
Device tree will be created from scratch over new Qualcomm tag to get rid of old junk. Full Treble compability will be provided.
More kernel bug fixes
Vendor update
FAQ:
Can I install XXX ? Does it support XXX ?
- It's still LOS, it supports everything what stock LOS does.
Can't you ship kernel package only?
- No, ROM has to be modified to meet 4.4 requriements. You can't flash 4.4 kernel on top of 3.18 ROM.
But why 4.4? Do I need it?
- More fixes, more performance, more support. If you want, search for kernel changelog.
EAS?
- Not now, there are more important things to work on.
If you want to buy me a coffee, please consider donating, I've put much effort to make it working.

@xNombre great job!
I'll be testing your ROM in the future for sure. Looks very promising.
It would be great if you pulled the Floppy Kernel mods to tweak your 4.4 kernel
(Just my wish)
However, congratulations man.
I really appreciate your effort I would love to test your ROM But I only want to know 2 things before if someone can help.
1. Can I use it as daily driver?
2. Android Auto is working?
3. Will I need to do clean flash for future updates? Atleast for couple weeks.
Thanks
I'm using it for two weeks and no problems here.
If Android Auto is working on official LOS it will for for mine, too.
Nope, not for now.
#edit
Here is the new kernel you can flash on top of my LOS. (DON'T FLASH IT ON ANYTHING ELSE)
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962575411
Changelog:
add exFAT and NTFS
fix problems with wakelocks
use LZ4 for ZRAM
debloat a bit
skip sync for better battery
@xNombre What is the reason behind choosing 4.4 instead of a newer LTS version like 4.9 or 4.14? Or was the decision out of your hands?
Damn, do you think it's easy to port it on 4.14? For small group of users? Totally for free?
Two devices were fried with 4.9 kernel test version and in result I've spent many many hours of work for nothing.
Och, and remember, I had to buy a new mobo to restore my dd.
msm8996 has official support of 4.4 kernel and that's enough. I won't go any further, even if it's possible.

Whoa, calm down, mate. I just wanted to know the rationale. Knowing that msm8996 supports 4.4 is good enough for me. :good:
Sorry to hear about the two damaged devices, though. That must have been extremely frustrating.

Lots of love for 4.4 kernel.
Hello
Thanks for this amazing work.
I have a question (probably stupid) will voWifi work better than with a 3.18 kernel or there is no relationship between kernel and voWifi?
Thank you for your work. This is quite big actually.
Thx

There it no correlation between kernel and RIL. No changes here. Maaybe sth nice will happen with new vendor blobs but you have to wait for it.
great job, it heats a lot less than the miui .. today it's only the first day but it seems to me that the battery lasts much longer !!
