[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostafa Wael:
After the enormous success and admiration from the discerning users, and being featured on a lot of sites among which are quite famous sites for the tech enthusiasts such as Android Authority and XDA's Portal, it was extremely hard on me and my fellow developers not to extend our support to such a great device as the OnePlus 5. But thankfully, my colleague XDA Recognised Contributor [MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] came to the rescue and made that possible. I am quite sure that you all would like to join me to thank [MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] and OnePlus' Adam Krisko for giving me the honour to develop for such a mesmerising device. Hopefully you can enjoy my endeavours in that project. I would also like to thank my fellow leading developers of the original AKT project [MENTION=6773050]Senthil360[/MENTION] [MENTION=1515965]patalao[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6187429]Asiier[/MENTION] for doing their best. It was a wonderful journey that I am certain it wouldn't have been that enjoyable without them. And of course, I would like to say a huge thanks to all the users of AKT for their feedback and care - that goes without saying. I know I have been late and I am sure many have longed the release for unbearably long time, but as they say, better late than never.

Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare AKT support of the OnePlus 5!

If you are not familiar with what AKT is, I strongly urge you to head over to the original thread herehttps://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/how-to/advanced-interactive-governor-tweaks-t3476589/

Now let's get to business. With the initial release, you shall find all the profiles you used to find in AKT for the OP3/3T and a pair of two new quite experimental profiles developed by my teammate [MENTION=7003898]RogerF81[/MENTION] tailored specifically for those who use the

EAS

based RenderZenith kernel and Revan kernel, under the name of

Soilwork

, with a

battery variant

and

balanced variant

. Those who are unfamiliar, here is the breakdown of what you will find:

AKT is mainly divided into 3 segments: Battery, Performance and Balanced.

In each segment, the profiles are organised from the least battery friendly to the most battery friendly in ascending order

Installation:

1- Download the latest AKT zip file from the download link below

2- Reboot into TWRP recovery

3- Flash the zip file you have previously downloaded

4- Reboot into system and leave it for a couple of minutes to settle

5- Open your desirable terminal emulator app

6- Grant it root permissions by typing "su" (without quotes)

7- Type "AKT" (without quotes). It MUST be capitalized or else it won't work

8- Follow the on-screen instructions displayed. I am fairly confident that they are intuitive enough to guide you to your profile

9- Enjoy!!

Notes:

-> To judge the profile in question fairly, more particularly when it comes to evaluating how better or worse the profile has performed on the battery life front, you must use the profile for at least 2-3 charges (about 3 days) to expose the profile to all your different usage patterns.

-> Battery life can be judged quite well with the aid of some figures, such as the active and passive drain rates reported from apps like EX Kernel Manager or AccuBattery. The separation of the active and idle drain rates is crucial when it comes to judging such things.

-> If you are worried about the impact of AKT on your idle drain, then I strongly suggest you to read this post here. I believe this should clear a lot of the common misconceptions.

-> This tweak is applicable across all phones that share the same SoC, that is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. However, it won't be as compatible as with the OnePlus 5 due to various differences in the UI skin the phone in question bears and the presence of some proprietary engines, some of which can be quite intrusive like HTC's pnpmgr. I reckon it is still worth a try though. Worst case would be full incompatibility which can be remedied by following the on-screen instructions to uninstall AKT
