[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I have to give Flash kernel 3.7. And that is being pretty generous.

I was initially pleasantly surprised with Flash kernel. It was keeping the best active battery time so far. It's not overall that fluid or speedy. Average at best. Maybe it is only for LOS. I don't know. I had 1 random reboot ( I very very rarely have random reboot on Nitrogen, I can't even remember the last one, probably at least 6wks) and while playing Injustice, which I play every day, and on every kernel I've tested with no issues, crashed 4 times. Force closed "Injustice has stopped working". I really didn't find much good to say about the kernel, only how strange to me a kernel with the name flash was impressively battery friendly, but probably the slowest kernel I've tested so far.

Another weird thing. The volume switch for the OnePlus 3t that we all have on the left side of the phone...Flash kernel, as far as I can tell, only allows for two functions. Meaning....I usually have top position set as ringer(on NitrogenOS settings, it's called off) . Middle positions I set to vibrate (or priority if rom doesn't have vibrate option, luckily Nos does) . Bottom position Alarms Only. But no matter how I tried, what option I picked or even what mode status bar said was on. The middle position would always be the same as either the top position choice, or bottom, whichever one I most recently chose. I did not knock off anything when rating it.

All these kernels have little strange nuances. I've tested 4 kernels so far, and I've had to switch my back and recents after every kernel I've flashed. Flashlight has worked both long press power and qs tile for every kernel so far. GCam apparently has issues with kernels that are strictly geared for LOS. Oxygen cam works fine.

The ultimate reason I gave this kernel my lowest score so far is force closes. I want my phone to work and do what I need or want it to do, and everything has been smooth sailing on most kernels I've tested with Nitrogen until I tested Flash kernel. I don't lower rating the little weird button issues or whatever. But force closing abd random reboots are unacceptable to me. Here's the results Flash kernel best battery active stats. But not worth it to me if it's gonna crash

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I could not make video work front or back, even after tinkering a little with settings. Regular camera and some options for it work. Haven't had chance to test all options. It is my understanding that Hal 1, 2 & 3 cannot all coexist. I read a thread on xda a while back, but pertaining to Oreo. Either 1 & 3 can work together but not 2 or something to that effect. But I can't remember which thread. The way I read it snapcam, gcam and oxygen cam all implement specific Hal so things like gcam slow motion, oxygen cam front camera hdr, etc, may never fully work on custom roms on our devices. I was hoping I could use snapcam instead of a combination of gcam and oxycam, but unfortunately, can't get video to work. Don't quote me on any of that. I can't find it recently cuz there's around 3 or more gcam threads etc. And to be honest, I could understand very little of all the Hal stuff. It was quite confusing. And I've read developers that explain the difficulties of creating a fully functional camera when users complain. There's 40 total roms for my device on Oreo, but when you think about it, there are only half a dozen maybe cameras that partially work. That's how difficult it is to create. That's why guys like skulshady, sultan, Arnova, siankatabg, bsg, and the few that have done it deserve our respect, gratitude and a donation when they are able to do it.

Anyway, I'm gonna mess with it a more and see if all camera options work. Thanks for the find. Still like the camera, and hardly ever use video anyway.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Thanks for taking the time for the poll guys. The 'yes' and even the 'no' votes. I wouldn't have created a poll if I wasn't interested in your input and opinions. I'm working hard to test these kernels for you guys and for myself. It's harder than I expected to maintain consistent use every day on my device. I took a day off yesterday to catch up on all my updates, etc, but staying on same build of Nitrogen.

I dont take it personally, but I even have some helpful tips for people who voted for me to get a real job. 1)There is an unlimited amount of knowledge and reading on xda for android of all types and versions, feel free to expand your mind and skip over my thread. 2)You know anybody hiring? ?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Sorry for the delay guys. I was actually away from my phone for over 24hrs, so couldn't really test or gather stats. Was on Holy Dragon Kernel, but didn't get that many stats to offer, because I really didn't collect stats from 100% for a 24hr period. I was on it for plenty of time and would have gladly done complete test if not for 1 pretty bad issue. Seemed to have better than average battery life. Had slightly over 10% active drain the first few hours I used it and 1.2% inactive. Had to reboot because a Magisk v4a bad install, but I have that occasionally with Magisk v4a updates, so I don't expect it was the kernel. After reboot usage was 13.13% active and .93%idle. I'm confident it runs 11-12%active and 1.1%, I was on it for a couple of days and a couple of full charge cycles, just wasn't able to get my usual straight 24 hour statistics for everyone, so I apologize.

But as I said, there is one thing, and I consider it to be a MAJOR issue. And I noticed and experienced it from the beginning through the entire use of the kernel. It's not the fastest performing kernel, but system is not overly slow using HDK. BUT touch screen is TERRIBLE! I feel like the screen sensed my touch about 60% of my actual touches and was EXTREMELY slow to respond. And that's just one touch to select something on your screen. So as you can imagine, typing was a nightmare! And I've read about multi touch and Oreo plenty. But this wasn't even multi touch. Games like Injustice, etc are just about unplayable. In the game you have to often tap or swipe screen rapidly to perform moves and make them more powerful. So trying to do that with this kernel reminded me of a very old less than LG I had with 886mb RAM 4gb internal with 1100 max cpu.

Actually, I'm done with this!!!!!! I went to post this review I am painstakingly typing on my 3t, and it crashed because I don't think any Android keyboard is meant to perform this slow. I lost half of the review I already typed and just not doing it again.

I'm moving on to my favorite kernel developer for Oreo custom rom and my favorite kernel. Mady's X kernels. My test will remain the same as previous tests. It'll show in the results in data and I'll give an honest opinion. I have not tried his latest X14, so we'll see how it turns out.

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
When you want to destroy your battery then charge to 100% and let it empty to 0 or 1%.

When you want to keep your battery healthy it is advicable to keep it between 40 and 80% but at least not below 10-15% and better not above 80-85%.

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
BTW, boeffla has(had) insanely low idle drain. Stayed below 0.2%...until battery hit about 50%,then it jumped to 1.8%. So I decided to try it again today, and so far, idle drain is extremely low again, but I'm going to keep going and see. Active drain is above average, about 2% above what I usually get from Mady's, but everything is really smooth and fast. Here is what I have so far on 2nd try. Everything works well

Are you testing on LOS?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
No, sorry. Still on Bootleggers (gzosp base). But I believe boeffla kernel is for los
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] mk_1996:
Yes thats why i asked. I know his kernel works with los and oos. Never knew it would work on other roms.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Slectone:
What do you mean by gzosp base?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] mk_1996:
Just like aosp is base for other custom roms,gzosp is the base for some of the custom roms for our oneplus 3. Like you'll see lineage based roms on our threads like resurrection remix, havoc os etc etc. That means they use lineage as their source or as their base.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Some los based kernels work better than others on aosp. Some seem to work fine with either. Boeffla works great on Bootleggers, so I imagine it would also work great on nos, omni, etc. If anyone feels like trying it out to confirm or not, any feedback would be appreciated.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] DrUnknownEMC:

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Master_TC:
I tested some kernel on official omni. Always clean install, open gapps and the same 20 apps (4G, bluetooth and gps allways on, 1 sim):

- HolyDragon: very smooth and snapy, battery friendly

- Luis: very smooth and snapy, more battery friendly

- Maddys: smooth, not so snapy like Luis or HolyDragon, best battery friendly

- Boeffla: slow, laggy and highy battery drain

My favorite is Madys or Luis... :)

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Master_TC:
Very good tests and detailed. Our results are almost the same.

I do not use tweaks or root. Always pure OmniRom with Kernel.

I also tried the other Roms, but OmniRom is simply unbeatable. I already used it with my old Samsung S3 mini and was more than enthusiastic. Since then I'm a big fan.

I just want to focus on OmniRom right now and try to squeeze out as much battery life as possible. Speed ​​is not important to me because I do not play games. Next I want to root and try EX Kernel Manager.

When I get bored, there are many other roms, who are still waiting for a test ... :D

Latest mady x24 with nitrogen os. You were right, electron is slightly battery friendly thats why i was facing occasional lags here and there. They were just minor. Other than that,it was all smooth sailing. Can i ask on what cluster did you apply the electron governer?

Luis with msm-x

YouTube, Instagram, Joey( best Reddit app- free and no ads) Snapchat, messenger on wifi.

I can't really show you battery graph as it didn't reset because I only charge up to 85%.

Really snappy, much snappier than Mady x24.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I applied to electron to both governors. Switched back to interactive gov for my daily use. Clarity governor was even more battery friendly far me, but pretty much unusable if you use phone for social apps or any games. Major stuttering in games, forever for fingerprint. I probably could have gotten 7hrs screen time and 3 days total, but only if you use phone for phone, text, email, occasional searching only

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xNAPx:
[emoji16]
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
To be honest, I am not 100% sure what all of them do. They are what are referred to as "generic" wakelocks and most have been provided and used by guys like boeffla and franco and implemented to their kernels since early oneplus days. They have been deemed unnecessary and/or bloated wakelocks and are described in more detail through apps like wakeblock by brilliant Giovanni Bozzono in playstore and other covered in various xda and oneplus community forums. They are all pretty much standard to block in most custom kernels for both Oos and custom kernels. I will spend some time to research on each one individually a little more and try and provide better answer over the next few days. But I have been blocking most of these for almost 2 years, without losing any noticeable functionality, while improving battery life. I will try to add more detail to the op by the end of this week

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Slectone:
[MENTION=8251855]gFknQ[/MENTION] I feel like ROMs nowadays are all trying to pack more features than the others and because of that, the options can get confusing and it can also get annoying to dig for certain features in the menus. It also tends to less to a stable experience with less SoT. What are the features you think are must-haves, and which features you think are overrated? And any features you would like to see that you haven't been seen yet?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Pablo.x:
I would like to know how are your stats on stable OxygenOS :p

It might be an interesting comparasion with custom roms, to see the difference, due to there's not a huge difference between customs.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
I would honestly like to know that too. With stock kernel, Franco, etc... There are even more kernels for oos than custom roms, and I would love to try out the differences. But only having one device to test being my daily driver, I just don't see it happening. If someone else wants to do that and share here or create a thread, that would be awesome! Hear that Oxygen users :silly:? I tried to switch to MSM yesterday, and got started. But I'm helping take care of my 9yr old niece and nephew currently and juggling moving and helping create family business. Every time I think I have a little time to myself to mess with phone stuff, my niece reminds me that I don't! :( "Let's play! I'm hungry! Uncle UncleQ..."etc. And honestly I love it tho. I got my system set up with MSM yesterday, and then got pulled away. So I am back to my Bootleggers backup as we speak. C'est la vie

Sorry bro
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gFknQ:
Agreed. Main thing is stability. I am not going to name them, but there are some that have a million features, and not all work, and I don't like that. Things I like are center clock, battery bar, rounded corners, android p style & animation...But those are not deal breakers if rom doesn't have it. I was on NitrogenOS for around 6 months, much longer than any other Oreo, and it didn't have any of those things, and I still kept going back.

Must have for me are Substratum support(I like to theme!), fully customizable hardware buttons, hardware toggle in quick settings, and I prefer ring & vibrate options
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Slectone:
Wow. The more I look a MIUI 10, the more I'm impressed. It is insane how good that ROM looks, and even for being a nougat ROM, it's basically equivalent to Android O/P at least as far as I've seen.
