Incompatible with Oreo I guess. Try using EX kernel manager or Kernel Auditor.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] albinsraj1:
Please bring the kernel for stock ROM.. Most of the devices have tons of kernel for stock and custom also with lots of features .. But for Z00L it's really sad

. hopefully respected sir will made some cpu hotplugs and new features ..

Should I use normal adiutor kernel or kernel adiutor mod?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] MrStark007:
Any you like.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
MSM Performance Hotplug: to disable & replace with another hotplug capable of turning off cores automatically, ensure PowerSuspend do not conflict with new hotplug

Processor info becomes unknown? Should i ignore it?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Ignore it as processor misinfo ain't that big issue.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
Thanks for kernel Dev. Definitely a big improvement from stock LOS 14 kernel. Apps lawnch faster, battery life is segnifecantly improve and also I didn't experiencing scrolling lag on Facebook app. One question does this kernel supports f2fs for both data and cache partition?

Hoping for new features soon like over clocking. Thanks again.

Do I need to reflash magisksu/supersu after flashing this at boot partition in twrp?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] kunalchitara:
No need to reflash in case of supersu
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] albinsraj1:
Yes
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] $tar:
Is flashing boot partition is the same as normal flashing? Cause in my case, i do normal flash
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Gerard15799:
Wow finally a kernel development!!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] kunalchitara:
Since this kernel is available as flashable zip, you just need to flash it the same way as you do in case of ROMs.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] avmm9898:
If anyone having a screen flickering problem and flash this kernel please tell me, thanks a lot
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] echang8:
Doesn't let me flash on z00t. it says unzip failed. Aborting... Updater process ended with Error: 1 . Currently running Lineage OS 15.0 Oreo
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
It's not Kernel issue as per my knowledge. Either you are already having a kernel or somekind of mod or your system partition is full. Vould be anything. Give me TWRP log if you want help.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
You got screen flickering issues?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
Does this kernel supports f2fs for both data and cache partition?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
There is a reason why I am not working on Stock support, Spectrum, Hotplugs, Over and Under Clock. There are almost 10+ models of Zenfone 2 laser with different SOC, CPU freq and Cores. This is what makes the job harder and I don't have time.

Nope. Also I never heard of any such feature. If you can point me to some kernel which has such feature I will see if it can be ported or not.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
O. So that's why performance of sd 615 variants of Zenfone 2 laser is performing not so good on nougat roms. I think?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] kirito05:
Exactly and specially the 3GB variant :(
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
I even compare the performance of my school mate's Moto x play with the same sd 615 with 2gb ram on my Z00LD with 3Gb ram and the performance is better on x play with the same rom.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Because you are booting all kind of soc and cores on msm8916 kernel source
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
What do you mean sir?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] eiPeiDweP:
Is it possible to make a ROM only specifically for 3GB variants, so it won't boot other variant's files? Or kernel, or whatever it is that's booting others?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
Yeah same question here.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Out of my level of knowledge. Sorry!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
How about applying the kernel settings from stock rom? E.G CPU parameters including hotplug, gpu parameters, memory management settings, io scheduler and others. P.S hoping to achieve at least stock rom like performance on 3Gb variant :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] beenkenobee:
anybody else still having a problem with bluetooth repairing?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
I literally used Bluetooth everyday. No issues here. Give logs if you are having issues.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] beenkenobee:
you bet.

where is it located?

btw, this happened with 2.2 and with aex after 2.2 was made the kenrnel.

pairing is fine until reboot, then the pairing process need to be done again like an initial pairing.

other than that, this thing is killer.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] kd216:
Na Bluetooth works fine for me just takes a little longer to pair that's all best experience with AEX
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Exceeds:
Hello I have been using your kernel 2.2 and 2.3 with ZE551KL(Z00TD) + RR Nougat +cpu monitor info on screen and noticed that this kernel is configured out of the box with min cpu.little online = 1, thats nice but after some time with the screen off, when you start using the phone again, the 3 little offline cores wont wake up by themselves even under heavy load, I guess I should set min little cpu online = 4/ but I dont like the way the interactive governor behaves on this kernel setting the cpu almost all the time at a minimum of 800MHz even if cpu load is 1% so I would like some guidance for documentation on configuring governors and adding cpu volt control to the kernel.

Your kernel is clearly better than stock from custom roms but I noticed this phone performance on nougat roms I have tested is pretty bad considering its specs, I dont quite undestarnd why, compared to other phones I have with nougat custom roms/kernels, they run smoother.

btw on 2.2 thermal throttle wasnt working for me but It works now on 2.3

Thanks for your work.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] albinsraj1:
Everything works fine tested on DotOS and AtomicOS
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
There had been a debate on this low performance issue recently. Check back few days older posts and about that CPU online issue I will try to fix that soon.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] papoy1019:
Here is the link of what i mean. Because i tried to do this, then my device is incompatible because there is no advance charging control functionality.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] raiden_1115:
Regarding Adreno Idler, I can't get it to work on Kernel Adiutor, at least that's what it seems. Even though there's 0 load on the GPU (as it is reported on the app graph itself), the clock is not being lowered. Any thoughts?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] DarthRecca:
So far so goooooooooodddd!!!

Loving it and the inbuilt Wireguard VPN support.

No problems on the latest build of AEX Oreo(March update) so far.

Just wanted to know if you have anything planned for nethunter support?

If not cool, if yes then cooooollll.

No pressures or anything, this kernel is amazing as is and now my go to kernel anytime I want to flash a new rom or want to flash an update.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

But before you do anything please make sure you have taken full Backup(including Internal storage).

Can I flash this on my ZE500KL?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] axxbat:
Download it, extract from zip and try to boot phone with the image via 'fastboot boot <imageFileName>. It the os boots up with no problem, flash. If the os fails to boot up, just reboot the phone - it will be up with Your current kernel.

The profit of the method is that You can try kernel without flashing it.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] papoy1019:
How to boot phone via fastboot? :confused:
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] axxbat:
reboot the phone into bootloader (Vol+ and Power btns). This will put the phone into fastboot mode. Connect the phone to PC via cable and use 'fastboot' utility to boot an alternative kernel.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] theimpulson:
Changelog r2.5

- Updated F2FS

- Added Input Boost Support

- Added Lazyplug Hotplug Driver

- Security Updates For Oreo

For those guys who complain that F2FS, NTFS, and exFAT is not working, it requires building an updated TWRP with the updated kernel that I just released otherwise it is of no use. For those who don't know, TWRP depends on its own kernel that is included in compiling TWRP and not on ROM or this kernel. Therefore, wait for me to release updated unofficial TWRP. No ETA when I will release it. Might be the end of this month. Also, the download hosting is now changed. I will host builds on my own server and not on AFH. AFH is too slow and buggy nowadays. Have fun!
