Changelog

Please note:

Because we are now support treble and non treble OOS, we need you guys to make sure you are only using Magisk 16.0 and the latest blu_spark TWRP.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Mozotti:
It works with Magisk 16.7 or we need still in 16.6?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LordDeath:
I flashed OOS Open Beta 14, Magisk 16.0 and at last RZ 3.5.0.

After the reboot I had no working WiFi anymore. ?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] crian:
Nope. Use 16.0 or 16.6

Are you using a treble compatible TWRP?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RenderBroken:
I will make this clearer in OP but we will only support the latest stable version of Magisk and that currently is 16.0. It works for both treble and non-treble build.

Also with our treble builds, you need to make sure to be using the latest blu_spark twrp. Please do not report any issues till making sure these 2 things are covered. If you are still having issues after confirming the two areas, then make sure to use the app called syslog from the playstore and provide all the logs you can grab.

Thanks guys!
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] LordDeath:
I switched over from the official twrp-3.2.3-1-dumpling.img to twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v8.83_treble-op5_op5t.img and can confirm that WiFi is now working again.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rehannali:
Hi, This kernel works great. I'm using this kernel on my OP5T. Everything is working fine, and when I connect to mobile data, my phone starts burning up. Is anyone having this issue? Any workaround for this problem?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] crian:
I do not have this problem. Everything is working fine.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rehannali:
Don't know, but mine have some problem. It is burning like hell

And start draining battery, quickly.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] 3lMghraby:
Hey

I would like to thank you so much for this great kernel I get awesome battery and smoothbess on OOS

However,I have an issue with RZ 3.4

when the phone is in my pocket for sometime(with pocket mode enabled)

then I get it out to use it,

when I try the fingerprint it doesn't respond and I have to press the power button.

I disabled the pocket mode and I will flash the latest 3.5 and report again.

thank you again for this otherworldy work.

may be try to check if an app is using the data for sync (specially social apps)

also bear in mind that the outside temperature(climate)

affects the device's temperature very high

I advice you to stay on 3G since you will not really need 4G LTE speed as it uses much more battery and heat
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rehannali:
It' not about LTE, it's about after connecting to the data connection. within five minutes, my phone becomes a burning plate and even I can't hold it for a long time. As I disable my internet connect my phone become normal.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] 3lMghraby:
Can I flash latest 3.5 on new OOS 5.1.5 ?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] crian:
Yes you can but use the treble version.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] 3lMghraby:
do I need a specific recovery ?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] crian:
Yes a treble compatible one. I recommend the latest blu spark TWRP.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RenderBroken:
Never had this problem but if i had to guess, you have a 3rd party app or plugin that is causing issues. Can you install a Terminal app and run:

su

top

Then get me a screenshot of the top of the given list. This will show us what app is causing such havok.

Like above, I have never had this problem before, but then again, I have a large number of app installed, just not a lot that affect system, and require root.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Docxsido:
Guys the GCAM FIX magisk mod ( to fix pink tint) is not working after I've installed this kernel. What should i do?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sam Nakamura:
Maybe post it to the correct thread, posting magisk logs to the G-Cam thread would be a good idea, so there's a chance that someone can debug it, if there's really something going on...

------------

I personally think that G-Cam is great if you're on a custom ROM where OOS Cam isn't available, that's maybe just my opinion... :)

I have the same wifi problem.

I'm using RenderZenith 3.5 treble with magisk 16.7 on oos 5.1.5.

Tried ur method but no go, so I was back to stock 5.1.5 kernel and wifi is working now..
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AJsama:
wifi works well on mine

magisk 16.0 on OOS 5.1.5
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] stratosk21:
Take some time to read, please.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] initguru:
I know where you are pointing at. (already read it)

I just saw someone has succeeded using magisk 16.7 so tested that method.

I was not clear describing my situation, my apology.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] stoneh:
yes，me too！I use “twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v8.83_treble-op5_op5t“ to flash oos 5.1.5 + RenderXZenith 3.5 treble + magisk 16.7. After that wifi can't open,but if back to 5.1.5 stock kernel, wifi is ok.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sam Nakamura:
It was stated before that only stable magisk is supported, so it's kind of unnecessary to report compatability issues if you act outside the recommended and supported setup, use blu_twrp & stable magisk to run this kernel without issues...
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] stoneh:
Really thanks bro! Ur right, i back to magisk 16.0 now, wifi is come back and everything works fine!
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] n0j0e:
Why not latest stable Magisk 16.6? Works fine with RZ3.5.0.

Sent with much love & Android. OnePlus 5T
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sam Nakamura:
Even though it might work fine it's not stable, 16.6 is beta. Officially stable magisk is nothing but 16.0 (to this day), versions above are beta by definition as they get only pushed to you when you set magisk manager to beta branch and sure you can experiment but shouldn't report issues with anything but the supported setup which is stable magisk 16.0 on this kernel, flashed with blu_spark's TWRP as suggested by render & joshuous...

I tried RZ3.5.0 on 5.1.5 stable. Wireless tethering would oscillate between connected and connecting. Reverted back to stock kernel and had no issues. Anyone else have issues with tethering?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AJsama:
could u extract and share stock kernel with me?

thx a lot
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jasonious:
All I did was reload the factory image. No harm no foul ?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bihariel:
Just download the flashable zip from here https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/oneplus-5t-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3708099

open it with winrar or similar and you can extract the boot.img. then just flash it with twrp (install image option).
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AJsama:
ok , thx
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ArmadiloDS:
Thanks for the awesome kernel.

First also tried with Magisk 16.7 and had no wifi :'D But with stable 16 everything is fine.

Very fast and smooth. Not like a very good kernel, more like an awesome one! It really surprised me how fast it can feel.

Will test SOT next PoGo community day ;D

Any recommended kernel settings? Running at defaulties now...

[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] n0j0e:
Yup, also here on my OB15 setup! No sound.

Also get some random reboots and process hangings. The blu_kernel gets also in trouble with the OB15. Just for info. Restored my OB14 setup and wait for OP sources and the genius devs here! [emoji41]

Hi Guys!

I couldn't find information about it, please tell me, does this kernel contains wireguard?

If not, are there any chance to include it?

Basically this is the only thing, that holds me back from using it.

Thanks!

Just wanna say thanks for this kernel development from devs here, its been very solid and runs on Oxygen OS much better than stock from my experience.

As the oero era is gone end soon. Will be looking forward for EAS pie kernel in coming weeks.

I'm on latest Beta 15 with Magisk 17.1 installed, latest TWRP 3.2.3-1 and no PIN decryption. I only flashed ...V3.6.0-Treble.zip and did a wipe cache. Now my phone doesn't connect to my home WIFI anymore. Do I have to flash Magisk afterwards or do something else?

Edit: Trying with blu_spark TWRP now as recommended

Edit_1: Problem gone, latest blu_spark TWRP solved the WIFI issue

Hi, this kernel is by far the best for OOS.

Is there any chance of adding the backligh dimmer to have even lower brightness (like elemental ex), it's a really useful feature for reading and night use.

Thanks.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bmonteiro:
I think that's the only feature to have a complete package on this kernel. It's a pretty useful feature, specially when using your phone on your room at night.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] n0j0e:
Try Cf.lumen with KCAL. Perfectly!

Sent with much love & Android. OnePlus 5T
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Dornzak:
managed to fix the dash problem by reinstalling the stock kernel and them flashing again the Render. But sometimes the fingerprint it's slower than the normal to unlock the device. also the double tap to wake and turn off display sometimes doesn't work. dunno if it's just me. maybe it's something with the Nova launcher or the magisk 17.1 since those are the only changes i made on my OP5T.

but on the other hand the battery life is so much better! i can get now 6-7 SoT with 24-26 hours of the last charge!
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sam Nakamura:
I observed non of the described above, using nova and magisk 17.1 myself...

Regarding stock kernel, it's dependent on what kernel you come from, it's never a good idea to flash from custom kernel to custom kernel, always flash from stock kernel (better even dirty flash the full ROM - that's what you should actually try to solve your problems) to custom kernel as the previous kernel might have modified things in /system or ramdisk that doesn't play nicely with RenderZenith, who knows but cleanest approach is dirty flash OOS followed by custom kernel...
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Dornzak:
so u saying I should flash the custom OOS (currently on OB15) and them flash the stock kernel ?

I might try that, but the first time i came from stock kernel (OB15) and once i noticed a problem i did restore the boot.img i backed up (with blu twrp and magisk 17.1 running in that backup i did). after that i flashed the render kernel again.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sam Nakamura:
Well, it's worth a try, I think... That's at least what I'd do if I was you, again I'm using beta OOS and noticed non of the issues you have, so it seems specific to your set-up and not a general issue...
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] radz_:
Kernel is running great so far with the latest OB.

Just a question, aside from EAS, what's the focus of this Kernel? Upstream? If yes, latest linux has been released and latest GCC is 8.2. any plans of updating it to the latest?

Or maybe the dev skips linux update while waiting for OPs new commits? Basically 1 time update.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sam Nakamura:
The main thing here definitely is the unique and great "EAS" feature, which shouldn't be underestimated, it's lot of work and that's the huge advantage of this kernel where people really profit IMHO, it's great to have a well tuned EAS kernel, besides this Linux mainline kernel upstreams follow in a reasonable time span and when devs have time doing so...

-------------------

From my understanding:

With toolchains it's not done by just using them in the building process, usually build errors have to be sorted out and the practical gain is often small, I think it's a assessment between stability and being up to date, with a focus on stability!
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] VirginPancake:
What's the best setting or configuration for this kernel?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dugi9991:

Wifi don't work on OB16. Otherwise, it work perfectly :)
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jmtjr278:
We need more info to help you. Are you coming from another custom kernel? If so you need to dirty flash ROM. Did you flash root solution? If so when in the process?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Skelett:
Hello, I don't need help, it was just an information to signal that the kernel isn't fully compatible with OB 16, but thanks :)

FYI, no custom kernel, and installation made following a clean flash. Root with Magisk 17.1.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jmtjr278:
Well, currently using this kernel with ob16 and have WiFi as so many other users here. You are the first to report this. Maybe it's something your doing wrong.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Skelett:
Yes and it doesn't mean that it's wrong ... Following your answer, I tried different ways to install it and each time the only time it worked It's by moving from OB 15 to OB 16 in dirty flash, while the kernel was already installed in OB 15.

Sorry but I maintain : This kernel doesn't work after a clean flash of OB 16.

didi the same here. i noticed some lag in double tap to wake with face unlock enabled and after some research i found that its been a common issue with OP5T regardless of root or kernel modification. after i disabled the face unlock the double tap works so smooth.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Kjivar:
This was exactly the kernel I was looking for. Very good battery life. Thanks a bundle
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Tantin:
This might be an odd question, but can use the kernel without root? I have an unlocked bootloader but one of the apps I need to log onto government webpages will not work with magisk (detects rooted device). I tried magisk hide etc and I'm passing the safety net check.

In any case, I don't need root really, I'm just interested in custom kernels, provided the come with well tuned variables. What seems to happen though on stock 5.1.5 is that both twrp and custom kernel are reverted to stock on reboot.

Any ideas?
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] radz_:
You can, but you can't use any Kernel Manager app.

If you have TWRP, just flash this kernel, then your good to go.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Tantin:
Thank you. I figured out why it reverted to stock. I flashed magisk and then the kernel. So of course when I uninstalled magisk I reverted the boot.img to the stock kernel. All working well now.

So you believe this is only about helping battery consumption, but we're not loosing out by not having this feature? Anyway to communicate with OnePlus on this? I would like to think they'd communicate with you as a developer.

OOS 5.1.5 was the first release with Treble?

https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5-oneplus-5t-oxygenos-project-treble/

I'm running OOS 5.15 which by my understanding, from the link above is Treble, and I'm using the latest twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_treble-op5_op5t.

Cache/Data/Firmware are mounted by default, not sure by what you said if Vendor is suppose to be mounted by default, but it's not. Should System be mounted also? I keep forgetting which to mount... :(

Thanks to you both! :)
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RenderBroken:
I have an idea to that should allow us to go back to using the stock wlan driver. Unfortunately, I have just been busy working on OP6. I am hoping to get time in the next day or so to test the new change for op5. Also, unfortunately again, my op5 was stole this past weekend. So it will be a little difficult to coordinate with testers. But I am sure we can figure it out.
[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DoR3M3:
What about the partitions, do we need Vendor & System mounted?

Thanks

P.S. Sorry to hear about the phone... :(

No, as long as you have the correct recovery, it will take care of everything for you. Is there a certain problem you are having or is something not working right?
