[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] GreekDragon:
Introduction

Hello everyone, this is my personal kernel for kenzo. My philosophy on kernels is pretty simple:

Follow upstream Linux always

Security and stability are paramount

Features will be added only as needed

Hopefully you enjoy :)

Thread Rules

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. More on bug reporting policy here.

Keep things civil, I do NOT tolerate flaming of any kind.

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 though, 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.

1.3 Q: How do I control the kernel?

1.3 A: I'd recommend using either [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]'s EX Kernel Manager or [MENTION=4231562]Yoinx[/MENTION]'s Kernel Adiutor-Mod; both are extremely solid and have given me no issues.

1.4 Q: What ROM are you on? What are your settings?

1.4 A: Currently, I am on AICP and my settings are available here here

1.5 Q: OMFG MY BATTERY SUXXXX PLS FIX!!!

1.5 A: The kernel doesn't drain any battery, use an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out what app is screwing with your phone.

1.6 Q: Does it boot in BlackscreenOS ?

1.6 A: I don't know. You can try.

1.8 Q: Can you add Quick Charge support ?

1.8 A: No.

1.9 Q: Bro, i have kate variant, can i use it ?

1.9 A: Of course.

2.0 Q: QC support ?

2.0 A: Don't be ridiculous.

2.2 Q: How about GCC 7 support ?

2.2 A: Currently, GCC 7 cannot be booted on kenzo.

2.3 Q: Why it shows me random max frequencies?

2.3 A: If you're using LOS Based rom is an expected behaviour, don't worry, it won't ruin your performance, is same as before.

2.4 Q: Slow charge bro please fix!

2.4 A: Bro pl0x upd8te fermware.

2.5 Q: Core 6 is offline bro!

2.5 A: Really? wew, enable it and make it default at boot.
