Look guys I don't know what's up with your devices and your builds. I can't see any logcats/kernel logs, everything is fine with my device, I don't have anything crazy on the builds. All these roms are also experimental, on my mido for example a 100% stock lineageos 15.1 nightly from the 22th I couldn't even boot it after zygote it would just crash com.android.system. **** happens and sometimes it's not the Kernel's fault.

i flashed it on AEX (not auto flash this time)manually :3 by twrp but results are same i think you should personally try AEX and Franco kernel was good until r4 last time i thought auto flash is problem then i got it now problem is something else...

I downloaded R6 kernel from your app (download zip)

then i rebooted to twrp flashed it and restarted after i applied my pin it went to EDL mode (long press button made it review)

then i rebooted to twrp flashed magisk first then R6 again

still same......

then i flashed r6 and then magisk results were same.......

then i flashed R5 damn still same then in last i had meta phenix 2.0 kernel i flashed it and my phone booted i wonder if i can provide you loga at booting time but i don't have access to my pc (out of station for a while) and i think recovery logs will not help either ????? i just want this to be fix it was all good until r4 ? ....

Regards~

Edit:-I disabled every changes i made in kernel of r5 build

and reflashed it again it works now

for anyone having same issue disable all mods of the r5 build and flash r6 it will work

i did it because i saw your changelog you disbaled everything and it went good I don't know what was behind conflicting with kernel is that governor or I/O but it is fixed now :3 thanks

and sorry for any inconveniences ???

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] - just wondering if you had a chance to check the issue with negative gain for headphones in sound control please (stock r6)? I try it with each new version, but still no luck. EXKernel manager app seem to be the only way how to set it. I've uninstalled it, just in case it's interfering, but to no avail.

I'm using stock Oreo + Magisk (for google camera mod). For OTA I use the standard Magisk unistall / OTA / Magisk re-install / reboot cycle. How do I do the next OTA with your kernel on the phone? Thanks in advance.

Hi [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], seriously man thank you for your kernel, I was sooooo happy that you thought to implement wireguard support.

I only have two problems:

_I tried to look on your git but I could find why I can't use ipv6 while using wiregard on kernel space, it used to work on user space, do you have any idea?

_ I purchased your app before installing your kernel but the thing is I use stock lineage without Gapps (not a big fan of being tracked down by the big G), but because of that your app cannot check its license and falls telling me that I should download it from a trusted source blablabla... No workaround I think but maybe you could make me wrong :angel:

Thanks again for your amazing work and I hope you will stick on the Mi A1 for a while :good:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
There's no point in any of that. r5 and r6 consume the same battery.

Works fine here, something must be going on your setup.

I haven't yet. It's likely a bug on my app and I've added it to my to-do list. Thanks & apologize.

Make sure you flash the correct version, there are two r6, one for stock, other for custom roms.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Dunno about ipv6, I didn't touch anything.

Hmm... there isn't much I can do about the app. Without the license check I lose protection.

It's the same.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] troyinjapan:
I'm also experiencing WiFi issues. I couldn't have flashed the wrong kernel, because I bought Kernel Manager for Franco Kernel and it flashed it there for me. I'm using the latest build, lineage-15.1-20180423-NIGHTLY-tissot so I don't know if that is the issue. Based on the fact I'm not the only one, there is something that's out of whack. I will try to investigate further, but I don't remember it being a problem before I switched to the Franco kernel.

If someone has found a fix (kernel or not kernel related) please post and tag me. :)

EDIT: When I wrote the above, my batter was kind of low, between 25-30%. I've since charged my phone and the WiFi is fine. The adventure continues.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ProchyGaming:
Alright let me explain. So the Mi A1 has an issue with the headphone jack and when you use cheaper headphones that can't handle high voltage (this phone uses a 10V amplifier) you get a hiss in the background. There's a sound mod for the mi a1 that achieves to fix this but the developer states that the fixes he did gets removed after flashing a custom kernel. So I'm asking if there's a way to accompany this with your kernel.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ProchyGaming:
Thanks for the quick reply! I asked him he hasn't responded yet but from the looks of it it only edits mixer_paths_mtp.xml only. So it has nothing to do with the kernel. I dunno because he said that custom kernel affects it or something. Gonna test it now

Void or MetaPhoenix, did they touch anything other than system partition for wifi & boot partition for kernel???
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] N1ck474:
I've followed those steps:

From full stock.

Booted TWRP.

Installed Kernel then Magisk

Flashed TWRP installer.

Stuck on TWRP (can't boot system)

So i've changed slot and phone booted but without Magisk and FK.

I've rebooted to TWRP, installed FK+Magisk (on current slot, the booted one) without changing slot but stuck on bootloop, i've just force restarted and now all works.

Little bug:

Camera takes from 3 to 6 seconds for opening with FK installed.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] .:Addicted:.:
That's not bug from this kernel. That bug also present in stock Oreo. That occurs when you enable camera2 api in oreo.

Anyway back to MetaPhoenix.

No bootloop there

Hi franco, I loved your work on this Mi A1 kernal. I have few question before i go for the installation, after flashing custom kernal will i receive OTA update? Can it be installed without any errors?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Saswata Chakraborty:
So, after using Moun, Void, Metapheonix, Mint and ProjectK, I can tell Franco Kernel is the best. So, it's not a coincidence that FK is considered to be one of the best custom kernels. I don't have any issue except two. One of which I have already told Francisco, but he overlooked. When I charge my device to 100%, it never shows "Full" on battery page. It always shows "Charging". It's definitely a kernel related bug as when I switch to any other kernel, it always says "Full" when the device is charged to 100%. Although it's not something that can't be lived without, still a bug is a bug.

Second, when I apply "GPU underclocking" on Kernel manager for franco kernel app, the GPU is set to 400MHZ (maximum)-133MHz(minimum) with Powersave governor. I have noticed glitch on "Powersave" governor mainly while scrolling. But when I change it to default "msm-adreno-tz" with 400MHZ (maximum)-133MHz(minimum), everything becomes normal. I don't know why it happens, but it happens to all kernels.

Anyway, I thank Francisco for bringing this amazing kernel to our device. I see a lot of negative reviews mostly from other kernel developers who are mainly jealous of his achievement. I was probably one of the first users who flashed FK on my Mi A1 as I was waiting for it for a long time. When I planned to flash custom ROM, I was googling for the best custom kernels just for my knowledge. And guess what, ElementalX and Franco kernel was there on almost all websites. That day, I made up my mind that if Franco Kernel comes to Mi A1, I will flash it without thinking twice. Although there are a few bugs here and there, we shouldn't forget the kernel is very new and I am sure Francisco will take care of them eventually. If there are a few men I respect the most on XDA, Francisco is there along with topjohnwu and mohancm.

No, you won't be able to receive any further OTA updates as flashing anything through a custom recovery tempers system partition even if you don't install the custom recovery permanently.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] _mysiak_:
I am on stock ROM and it mixer paths didn't change anything also in stock kernel. Negative value (try 235 235) doesn't work for me either, seems to be something broken with kernel or kernel manager app. I recall that it worked fine in r1/r2 versions of kernel.

Yes, you will receive OTA. If you want also to apply it, keep in mind:

1. never swipe "allow system modifications" in TWRP

2. do NOT install TWRP, only boot it once

3. install Magisk and then install kernel

4. when OTA arrives, restore stock boot image from Magisk, install OTA, install Magisk to second slot, reboot, install kernel again

5. with kernel manager app you need TWRP only once - to install Magisk. After that point you can do everything from within Magisk and kernel manager app.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bl3nto:
First of all, awesome kernel, as always.

But I have a problem in Manager app, there are no GPU options available. When I go to GPU control, nothing is there, also, I can't apply GPU underclock. Any reason this is happening? I'm on stock kernel, with magisk, no custom recovery installed.

Same thing happens on r5 and r6

Its rom issue. Each day rom is being built with upstream changes. Just flash last known good built with the kernel and use only it. Next time before flashing just make sure you do a backup of the Rom. In case something go haywire
