Thanks for the link. Never knew this kernel existed. Will give this a try too :)
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ianthemojo:
How would you rate the performance of LOS 15.1 + ElementalX?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I am hesitant to try any additional los kernels especially one specific for rr...have you tried the kernel with an aosp rom yet. If you can confirm it works without breaking anything, I'll give it a shot
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Rating Mady's X20 kernel with Bootleggers 5.0. You did it again [MENTION=7072514]mady51[/MENTION]. Everything works, plus some. And slightly speedier performance and better battery life than Bootleggers stock kernel. Happy Flashing
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Using it now; GZOSP with Luis; no issues at all, speedy and stable.

But it is a los kernel ;)
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Awesome. Thanks. I'll add it to the list
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] mk_1996:
4.7 out of 5. I found some minor stutters here and there. Not major just minor issue.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] desiresiscool:
How did you remove the fingerprint lag
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I don't have any more fingerprint lag than any other Oreo 8.1 kernel, but by reading Mady's kernel thread, it says to disable any hotplugging if there is fingerprint reader issues
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I'm rating Caesium Galactic Guava r2 on Bootleggers 4.75 out of 5. Battery drain was slightly higher overall than EXkernel, which I also rated 4.7, but everything works with this kernel, and works very well. Extremely fluid with no lag. Feel like I could have gotten better battery, but for some reason Google Playstore and Ex kernel manager used excessive battery. While EXKM did not use a massive amount of battery, it showed to be running the entire time my phone was on or off. Never seen that before, and do not know if it was kernel related
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
After two days of GZOSP I have to say I am impressed.

GZOSP is almost default Android, so do not expect all kind of extra features etc.... But it is fast, stable, everything is working as it should be and battery life is great!

In fact, [MENTION=8251855]gFknQ[/MENTION], I have decided to stay on GZOSP for now, no reason to switch again!! ;):good:

My setup:

GZOSP

Oreo 8.1.x Zero-GaPPs Arm64

LuisKernel

AppOpsX to prevent Google Play Services and Play Store to keep phone awake

EX Kernel Manager with the following changed settings (further everything default):

Touchboost disabled

GPU Initial frequency 133MHz

Backlight Dimmer enabled

FSync disabled

Blocked wakelocks:

- wlan_wow_wl

- wlan_pno_wl

- wlan_ipa

- wlan_extscan_wl

- wlan

- sensor_ind

- sensor_SMD (motion)

- netmgr_wl

- bq_delt_soc_wake_lock

- [timerfd]

- NETLINK

- IPA_WS

See the screenshots attached for battery life.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] ianthemojo:
How would you compare it's performance to Mady's?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I would say equal. Possibly slightly better, but minimal difference. I think I might have got a little better than it was if kernel had a chance to settle a little. But testing several kernels never really allows any of them to have time to settle. In my experience, when you give kernel a chance to settle in, they all perform better.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
That doesn't surprise me about gzosp. They were the first ones to drop a reliable efficient version of aosp for oreo. And all the roms I tried and loved that were the most stable and battery friendly (example bootleggers and Nitrogen) were built off of gzosp. Did you try the stock kernel before trying luis? Just curious how stock kernel was. I'm testing Luis kernel you recommended now. Too early for results, but can verify everything works very well. Thanks for the tip
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Results for Luis kernel so far. But I haven't played injustice yet, and that's my biggest battery drainer. Still, very good so far
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hi gFknQ,

I did not try the stock kernel long enough to see what it did on performance and drain.

Just installed the system again with the default kernel, so I can compare results.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I would definitely check it out. I'm assuming it has a superb stock kernel. You can apply your tweaks as you like. But GroundZero has been around for a while and they pretty much took the first step for custom Oreo, pioneering that sht. . I'm not a huge fan of Validus, but I do give credit to where credit is due. And I highly respect the work they do. And thanks for your research [MENTION=8175708]Jan_L[/MENTION]
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
Awesome results!

If you guys don't mind can you share your current battery capacities? I'm currently at 2800 mah.. on 3t :)

I'm just wondering about your battery health since you're getting such impressive stats.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
It should be 3400 on 3t. What is saying you have 28?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
That's design capacity though so if you had it for a year/two the current capacity drops so I was wondering if you knew the existing capacity..also, you're using one sim only..which results in higher SOT..I'm getting around 4:30 max with two sims.

There are a couple of kernels you could flash to reveal your existing capacity and # of cycles.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I didn't know battery capacity was kernel relevant. I don't see how battery capacities are effected via kernel. I've had my 3t since January 2017. I'm not saying battery capacity doesn't diminish over time. But I am saying my battery charges, drains, and last as long as it ever has, still. If you can direct me to something that actually shows me what I should get vs what I am actually getting, I would be grateful to learn what I am missing?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
The kernel from this thread already has the commits that reveal existing capacity and charge cycles.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/one...evelopment/kernel-holydragon-kernel-t3732974/

Once you have the kernel you can check the following two files

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full_design

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/cycle_count
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I already have this kernel downloaded for testing. I will test it next
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Where do I check? Terminal or file explorer?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
Yeah Root Explorer does the job :)
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Mine both say 4096. And I have to admit, I don't know what that means
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
You sure you have holy angels aosp kernel flashed? 4096 doesn't make much sense..
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Not right now. Tomorrow I will check it out and give you same results. I'm in the middle of testing a different kernel right now

Edit. Sorry wrong screenshot. See next post
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
This kernel right now
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
Ok please let me know once you flash it :)

Right now unfortunately you won't get a good reading.. I think it needs either nos stock kernel or holy angels.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
Hope you don't mind me posting my results..

- 2 Sims

- x20 kernel

- latest open beta fw

- bootleggers

Some calls, mostly browsing.. how does that look?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I encourage people to post here. Thanks!
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I think that is pretty good, but I think it could be better. Try my tweaks or [MENTION=7081373]ianthemojo[/MENTION] or [MENTION=8175708]Jan_L[/MENTION]...
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
I made a few changes using kernel auditor, but I cant seem to find the wakelocks section within..do I need to buy exkm?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money. I paid for EX, Franco and Kernel Adiutor donation, just because I appreciate the work those guys do, and use their apps all the time. But honestly, if you're on Mady's, I know for a fact that [MENTION=7072514]mady51[/MENTION] already blocks almost all the proper wakelocks by default, so you don't even have to worry about it. Maybe he would care to elaborate, or you can query his kernel thread https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/one.../kernel-mady-s-xtended-kernel-t3739378/page89
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Pablo.x:
Well I'm disappointed with you about Boeffla's paid.

I've been using his kernel since Galaxy S3, that's like 6 years ago, when I started on the modding world, and I purchased his app 1 or 2 years ago, that means I have been a free user for a long time.

I've been helped by Andi (Boeffla's kernel dev) lots and lots of times over all those years, despite I had paid or not, even when my problems weren't caused by his kernel (this happened often at my start).

You said you shared your personal opinion and there's mine.

Not saying you're wrong, you are able to have your own feelings and impressions, of course!

Apart from that, I really appreciate all your effort in this test that I'm excitedly following, thanks a lot for your work! :laugh:
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Anand82:
I was initially sceptical about what you were doing here but after looking at what you were doing, i changed my mind. the tests are very interesting. my idle drain is never as low as yours and i am really looking forward to the results. i dont use the same Rom as you do but would love to see if any of these kernels can come out as an outright winner.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you shared it. I'd rather this thread have more information and feedback from readers than just mine. That broadens the discussion. Readers are free here to give opinions. Mine are just one side of the story. You've provided a different perspective, and I definitely support that. Yeah, I've had limited dealings with Boeffla's dev, but I definitely support and respect him and his work. It's a free discussion here people. All opinions, experiences, questions and insights are welcome. Please don't bash me, developers, or other people's opinions or feedback. This thread is meant to be informative and beneficial and useful. Thanks [MENTION=5760073]Pablo.x[/MENTION]
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I'm sure idle drain is related to the use of greenify and naptime x. You can find both of these in playstore. Naptime x is pay but naptime is free. They do the same thing. Ipaid for x to show my appreciation. Curious, what is your idle time usually. I'm assuming 1-2%? Even 3 or 4% is good. I believe using a "deep" or "aggressive" doze app such as those would help. Possibly drop 0.5-2% off your idle time. I've tried a few others, but to me, those work well. I may test things like that, using greenify or naptime as opposed to not using such things later. If there is enough interest. You could check greenify thread if anyone has commented on this. Not sure if Franco has a thread for Naptime, but I know he has a G+ general discussion available that he is good at responding to. Thank you for your support. Honestly, I was somewhat skeptical if these tests would provide any useful information as well. I believe after general testing is done and I start testing my tweaks applied to the kernels is when it will get more interesting. Hopefully readers will stick around to find out. Thanks again
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
[MENTION=8251855]gFknQ[/MENTION], what app are you using to display the summary battery stats (the first screenshot on your reports)? I really like that summary.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
If this is the one you're talking about, it's exkm or just search ElementalX if you use play store. I'll be done with today's test on elemental x kernel in just a few hours, and I'll touch on the subject of the kernel manager as well
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Riddle5:
Is this with the elementalx kernel? What are your settings?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Pablo.x:
Hi! Just a little note about kernels.

I tested today boeffla kernel on lastest NOS build (15/04) and realized that camera didn't work properly (just a black screen), I don't know if you didn't faced this problem (I'm a 3T user) or didn't realize, but I think it's something interesting to point.

It's not anything weird due to boeffla's kernel is based and made for LOS, so may cause son incompatibilities...

Just wanted to do this little heads up, it seems that's not fully compatible with NOS (at least not for me).

:eek::(:good:
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Which camera? Stock camera that comes with Nitrogen?. I do apologize if I missed this. But to be honest with you, I disabled that camera a long time ago. I use OxygenCam and GoogleCam and can confirm that both work on every kernel I have tried so far. Thanks for the input. May be of concern to other users. OxygenCam and GCam both have same problems that they do on other roms. Gcam slowmo and oxycam front cam hdr are a no go, but everything else works as it should
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
No, no no. Sorry for confusion. I was merely using that screenshot for reference to his question about battery monitor. ElementalX review coming real soon. I have no choice. It's not going to make 23 hr cycle. But rest assured I have enough data to give it my rating
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Pablo.x:
All cameras, I tested with stock, gcam and instagram's camera and no one worked... that's weird, but I don't want to interfere with your test!!
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Okay. Can confirm on Boeffla gcam shoots video, but black screen regular camera. Oxygen cam works fine. Front cam back cam video etc

Thank you
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Pablo.x:
I'm the one who has to thank you for your fast testing :o
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Alright. ElementalX 4.07 I'm giving a solid 4.0. Battery was sufficient. Idle time slightly higher than my other experiences, but still under 1%. Every thing was fast and smooth. At least as fast asnd smooth as Boeffla. Kernel was easy to apply using exkm. I could go on and on about the app, but this thread is about kernel, not app. Basic download for ElementalX kernel using express settings applies kernel based on default balanced settings. There are powersave mode for ex kernel that will save around 5% and performance mode that will increase battery drain probably about 5%. But I stuck to stock settings for my test. I will tell you that about half of my tweaks are based off exkm powersave mode. Then I take them to the extreme. But if you want a good balanced kernel, this one does well. I tested elementalx 4.01-4.03 and I can tell you, that would not have been the case. Extremely choppy performance with not great battery. Frequencies sticking, etc. It's really come around to be really good. Above average. An easy 4 out of 5.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
New test as soon as battery charges. I've known of this kernel, but never used it myself. So even I will learn something new! By the name, I'm assuming it's fast!?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Hey, speaking of cameras, I was on AICP for a coupla days a while back. Love the rom. Nice dev too. It came with snapcamera and of course, it was Oreo 8.1 rom. Loved that camera! Does anybody know where I can find a downloadable version of it that would be compatible with NitrogenOS? I tried a couple from apk mirror and xda that said they were compatible with Oreo 8.1 custom, but both crashed at open. Assuming it's some Hal implementation issue, but that's a wild guess. Couldn't find much about it at all. GoogleCam and Oxycam are go to I know, but I REALLY liked that camera
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
I've not used it, but it's available in Play Store and there's a dedicated XDA thread (see Read More in the Play Store app details)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snaptrial
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Neat. Not sure it is exact same one. But looks worth a try. It works on this rom & Flash kernel, but like [MENTION=5760073]Pablo.x[/MENTION] said about Boeffla, GoogleCamera is not working on Flash kernel either for me

Thanks for finding it
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Strangeness. It's trial and pops up ad to buy every few seconds. Went to xda thread and downloaded an older apk from that official thread. Then got this. Never got asked this when trying to install apk before. Second pic is what I'm looking for. Guess it's officially LineageOS snapcam, so may not work on Nitrogen? But isn't aicp aosp also? Never mind, got my answer(screenshot 3)
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
Just bought EX, can you please point where are the wakelocks? Please :)

Hey [MENTION=8251855]gFknQ[/MENTION], does the ringtone problem still exists in BootLeggers? I'm talking about the one where if you use a local mp3 file as your ringtone it suddenly goes to silent. Also it sometimes happen even randomly. Link to post on BootLeggers.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hi [MENTION=8251855]gFknQ[/MENTION],

What are your results of LuisKernel now compared to MSM kernel V20?

Just curious ;)

I tested the GZOSP stock kernel at your request, but that one is compared to Luis using double drain (1-1.3%/hr) so I would have replaced it again when I did not have the idea to try MSM again :) :)

Just installed latest MSM XTended with latest MSM kernel on top (because they mention some kind of script what is giving more juice when installing the kernel on top), this with my latest experiences and changed setup. This installation I did everything as they recommend; wiping cache/dalvik/data/system and after that from file manager in twrp I removed android from /internal as some other directories I thought I did not need them.

I have to say, first experience now is very snappy. Will see what battery will do..... ;)

They told me some roms are using a boot animation which can delay startup.

For every fresh install I remove /system/media/bootanimation.zip as /system/bin/bootanimation.

You see the OnePlus logo with 'android' at startup, not waiting till the animations are finished.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I know what you are referring to. I have no problem with ringtone anymore. No problem with mp3's disappearing or the ringer volume randomly changing like it use to. But I remember when I updated rom last time, ringtones disappeared. So before I update, I will copy all my ringtones to a different folder, in case that happens again, I will have a copy of all, instead of having to download them again
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I'm rating Luis kernel 4.85. I'll elaborate with test results shortly.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Mine says 2966 sir. That is good then?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] nahsha:
That's not bad! Does it say how many cycles? Your capacity degraded by around 13% +/- from the original 3400.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I am rating LuisRR kernel on Bootleggers 4.8. (sorry [MENTION=8175708]Jan_L[/MENTION], changed it after looking back over old test, specifically Franco). I did not get as good battery time as I did on Franco. But everything worked with this kernel and worked very smoothly. I think this kernel is similar to Caesium, in the sense that once the kernel settles in, performance and battery would improve even further. Unfortunately, doing all these tests do not afford me the time to let the kernels settle. I will say, that I am curious how well this kernel works on LOS since it's a los based kernel. Because for aosp, it is a very very good kernel
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Cycle say 472. But if that represents total charging cycles, it won't show everything, I wouldn't think. Because I have wiped internal storage multiple times and even used Unbrick tool before to take phone back to original stock
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Thanks for sharing this cool tip, btw.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I understand your reason tot rate LuisRR kernel a 4.8. in fact it does not matter at all and is fine when the procedure is the same for every kernel/ ROM.

What is your first choice and best rated kernel till now [MENTION=8251855]gFknQ[/MENTION]?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Honestly, to me, Mady's is and has been for a long time. It constantly outperforms the others in battery life. I don't really suffer any performance issues with my tweaks, but other report lag. My experience on Mady's without my tweaks was also very good too. As far as Nitrogen or Bootleggers go, their stock kernels are very good, and if it wasn't for Mady's being slightly better, I would probably use stock. Franco usually has one of the top 2 custom kernels I test, but there is always one or two minor issues that effect aosp roms. If I were los rom, I would probably use Franco or Mady. But LuisKernel also looks like a very good option as well.

So to sum it all up, for me either Mady's or stock, depending on rom. But Franco and others will keep developing and updating, and I'll continue to test, as long as they do. Or until one of my readers donates a OnePlus 6 for testing :laugh:
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Pablo.x:
I'm planning to make a clean flash.

I've been using NitrogenOS for months and I would like to try another ROM more or less like that.

I mean, nice performance and not a lot of options, just the needed as Nitrogen has.

I'm saying this there to get your opinion as it could be interesting.

Also I feel interesting those GZR GApps and I would like to know if it's worth to give it a try.

I'm waiting for your answers guys, keep rocking!
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Curious if you are on Nitrogen and leaving, but looking for rom like Nos, why? I mean, I understand, I did the same thing because I was just bored with it. I was also looking for a few more features and found Bootleggers, which I am very happy with.

If you are looking for a super stable rom where you don't have to worry about a lot of issues and things going wrong a few suggestions from me would be Omni, Validus, gzosp, Oxygen, Freedom, DU. And honestly any thing that started with the letter A and ended in the letter P worked well in my experience. AOKP, AOSIP, AICP... MSM Xtended is always an option also. Whatever you settle on or try, feel free to post your experiences here. I always like to learn more about the different roms without having to do all the work myself. I just read a lot of the other threads to learn as much as I can. And make it a point to look for repeated issues and bugs before I go flashing, so I know what I might have to deal with
