I'm using it right now. I'd say yes, but there can't be a definite answer. My battery drain while screen is off went down from 1,x% to 0,66%, for me that's an awesome improvement!

Also, dimming by Klapse in the evening hours does a lot in terms of battery saving.

Nevertheless, the most important thing is to Analyse your apps installed on our device... And the services they running which wake up your device or keep it awake.

Also Greenify (I personally prefer it over Naptime) can help a lot.

Do not expect wonders, if you're interested why, you can read this: https://elementalx.org/the-truth-about-kernels-and-battery-life/

Hi, when using the FK kernel manager, I realised the settings I changed get applied immediately, without toggling the button on the right hand side. Is that the intent? I changed the minimum cpu frequency and touch pad vibration intensity. Thanks.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Jithin0801:
I too had this.. manually flashed using twrp and now it's fine!

Thanks for r21 smooth as butter great work!!!!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krakout:
R21? The app says so but the changelog is for r20?

(sorry, phone autocorrect had butchered my post and it didn't make any sense at all)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Yep, noone knows until Franco decides to tell us :) or we check the github sources obviously
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] grox:
When you open FK kernel manager you van flash r21.

I just did and its working ok. Didn't see a version history or a what's new
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Stoowyguy:
New Linux stable merged obviously???
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] fire7777777:
Hey guys, one question, the profile in the manager, what are they doing? Is it possibile check the impostation which they setting?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kawaiiDango:
Anyone using this on the latest open beta? Does DC dimming work?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kawaiiDango:
Tested myself. Doesn't work.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Unsure where I shpuld post this, but I updated FK Kernel Manager to the newest version yesterday and since then my battery percentage was not going down, it was stuck at 90% with no usage totals for apps.

I was running Stock Kernel here because I haven't had chance to flash FK yet, but uninstalling FK Manager seems to fix this issue.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zhangzy:
After installing this, I want to enter the recovery mode through the quick start, he will be stuck in the twrp interface, and can't enter recovery at any time. Is there any good solution?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Try using fastboot to get into TWRP. Or alternatively flashing TWRP again through something like FK or EXKM
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] danger86:
Guys,

has anybody experienced NOT being able to connect to WiFi on FK?

I've had this issue for about 3 previous releases of FK and different OTA versions.

Every time I flash FK, my WiFi manager says "WiFi Network Selection Disabled Association Rejection=5".

I cannot connect to any known or new WiFI network. As soon as I reflash the original boot.img - WiFi starts working...

I was reading before post #1176, but nobody seemed to respond clearly to that.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Never had that with fk. Did you clear the settings of any kernel manager before flashing a new kernel?

Can't test things right now, I've to admit that I switched to blu_spark (awesomely nice kernel).

Battery life was better on Fk though, but blu_spark is literally liquid smooth and seems to be more up to date.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] danger86:
I've never tried any other kernels. Just kept updating FK.

One time it stopped connecting...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] djrocks:
Had you flashed stable oos on both slots (before flashing whichever rom u r using)

I had a similar issue.. I flashed stable oos 9.0.8 on both slots and it worked fine then
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] danger86:
Hmmm, I have not done that! I always thought the other slot is a backup in case you have a boot loop on the first one.

And I use (and always have on OP6) stock ROM.

Is there an option in fastboot to flash in a certain slot?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] franciscofranco:
New FK r22 is out! Auto-flash with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel or get the zip from the OP! Cheers

Nothing to add ! Just awesome, keep up the good work!

Best
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] DenyDarko:
I'll be sending my OP6 to their service center in Poland tomorrow.

I'm getting some NV Backup warnings which are related to the EFS so no flashing method can help my case obviously .

Count me out for a while :(

Nope.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vjdennis77:
So guys , need to flash on fk kernel manager then in twrp again to fix can't go to twrp issue ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] franciscofranco:
What?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vjdennis77:
I mean I flash the kernel before two times (clean flashed) custom version , and if I go to twrp it's can't into twrp mode ..this is what I did

Flash OOS on two slots and twrp (blu twrp)

Then flash custom ROM +twrp

Wipe caches and data

Reboot to twrp flash gapps

Reboot system

Reboot to twrp and flash magisk then kernel

That's it , if I reboot to twrp it's black screen
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] franciscofranco:
I don't see how that's remotely related to the kernel.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vjdennis77:
Oh then am I something wrong on the steps pls ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
The procedure seems ok.

If you can enter TWRP before flashing magisk and the kernel, then you nearly found the culprit.

So, do the same again. But, after flashing Magisk, reboot to recovery. If you can't enter TWRP then, ask in the Magisk thread for help.

If TWRP boots up normally, flash the kernel and reboot to TWRP again to ensure it's also working now.

Also, make sure to use the latest blu_spark TWRP. Both, Magisk and the kernel modify the boot partition. So it's always a good idea to reboot between these installations to avoid conflicts and those problems you're facing now.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] franciscofranco:
:crying:
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vjdennis77:
OK let me try it and will report back , appreciated mate
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Ups. Outdated signature ;) But I've to admit, after using your kernel for a longer period, I tried blu_spark r102 (which I'm using right now). Since r99 it's incredible smooth and everything feel super snappy - dunno what black magic happened there. Though, your kernel is noticably better in terms of battery (balanced profile). I'll try your kernel again this weekend :) <3
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Stoowyguy:
Franco kernel wont boot into twrp from custom rom based kernel. This however works ok in oos based franco kernel and other custom rom kernels except arters.

perhaps the other developers pappschlumpf or eng.stk could share some easy potential fix for that?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] franciscofranco:
Sure it does, I just did it.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
Hey there,

I know FK from my old Nexus 4 and it was awesome. I am happy to see that this kernel is available for my brand new OP6. I already am rooted and have xXx + Smurf Kernel installed but I want to give FK a try. How do I change? Simply wipe cache/davlik and flash FK? Or what are the specific steps as I do not find anything with the search function.

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] -earth-:
Flash kernel, magisk, kernel, and reboot.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
So flashing FK will overwrite Smurf-Kernel? And why do I have to flash the kernel twice?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Simple, you don't have to.

The golden way to switch from one kernel to another is:

1. Reboot recovery -> flash stock bootimage -> flash TWRP

2. Reboot recovery to see if it sticks

3. Flash Magisk (if wanted/needed, recommended though) -> reboot recovery

4. Flash Franco Kernel -> reboot system and enjoy an awesome batterylife + magic

Alternatively you can flash the stock kernel image via TWRP / FK Manager. Reboot and flash Franco Kernel via TWRP / FK Manager. It's easier but you have to make a backup of the stock kernel after every OOS update to take advantage of it- or download it from XDA. :good:

EDIT: And as always: Before you flash a different kernel: Delete the settings you made in any kernel manager app!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Stoowyguy:
Franco kernel custom variant does not boot into recovery unless oos variant I've tested this on Omni and LineageOS. In fact my only fix is to flash from his app a different kernel in order to restore twrp boot functionality like it's weird it's still there but I get black screen. And always works with a fastboot push.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
Sorry to bother furthermore but where to get the stock kernel? To be honest I am currently in my holidays and far away from Wi-Fi so I just am able to use mobile data. I have latest official OOS and latest TWRP by bluespark. My phone is rooted with latest Magisk and I have xXx 7.7 + SmurfKernel.

Did Magisk backup my stock boot image? Where to find the stock kernel? Maybe I just need to dirty flash the original Ota-Zip? This is not possible at the moment as it needs a huge download ;)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
No need to be sorry ;)

The stock kernel is always included in the stock bootimage. Apps like FK Kernel Manager or EX Kernel Manager are able to back it up.

I'm not sure if Magisk backs the stock bootimage up, never used it at least. Yes, you can just dirty-flash the full OTA zip (don't forget to follow the same procedure as with new updates, e.g. TWRP, Magisk flashing and stuff).

When I'm home later this evening, I can upload you the stock kernel of the latest OOS. Should be around 60MB if I'm not mistaken ;) :good:
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] djrocks:
Loved the gesture buddy.. Keep it up
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
That's awesome. If I don't need to reflash TWRP via fastboot as I don't have any access to a PC that seems to be the best option. I have the zip still on my phone. So I should flash stock kernel then reboot to OOS, then back to TWRP and then FK?

Also thanks for your polite gesture.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Thanks my friend :) :fingers-crossed:

If you already have a working TWRP inplace, you don't need to flash TWRP via fastboot again. There was a bug in the past with the flashable zip of TWRP, but eng.stk already fixed it some months ago. Just download the zip and you can flash the blu_spark TWRP from either TWRP itself, or from FK Manager or EX Kernel Manager (it works, already tested it :) ).

I'm getting home to late tonight, so I can't upload the stock kernel image today :crying: But I'll do so tomorrow after work. And yes, if I'm not horrible mistaken, all you need to do is:

- flash the stock kernel

- reboot OOS

- flash the magical Franco Kernel

(all from the Kernel Manager, no need for TWRP here)

But, to be completely sure that it works, you can also do these bullet-proof steps:

- flash the stock kernel (don't reboot, uncheck any automatical reboot option in the kernel manager!)

- flash TWRP zip

- reboot TWRP

- flash Magisk from TWRP

- reboot TWRP

- flash Franco Kernel from TWRP

- reboot OOS

I'll try again the "easy" way tomorrow for you, to make sure you don't run into any trouble :highfive:
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
Cheers mate!

I already have latest TWRP by bluespark but will also keep the zip file on my phone for a reason. You don't need to hurry as I am also in no real rush. It's just that this phone is brand new to me and even if I am familiar with rooting etc it is slightly different on this device as it was before on my Galaxy S Plus, Nexus 4, Redmi 2, Redmi 3, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8. Much thanks for your kind support [emoji106]

Besides: has anyone FK in combination with xXx NoLimits ROM? If yes how is the experience?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] franciscofranco:
FK works fine for all roms :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
I know! The experience with FK on Nexus 4 was extraordinary! I just want to be sure that the so-called Kernel Tweaks from xXx NL do not interfere with FK as the author mentioned "works best with Smurf-Kernel" ;)

Anyway I am glad I switched to this device so I can have use of your app I bought "years ago" [emoji108]
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] star80:
It works fine, I disabled kernel tweaks in xxx profile before flashing rom
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Stoowyguy:
kernel is really freakin awesome it used only three speeds on my bottom cores and its rock solid for battery life. I like to stick to schedutil on this kernel.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] cowgaR:
So this rumour here mentioned 3 times already, that you cannot enter TWRP recovery after installing its custom version, is a lie?

I have seen your debunking that it has nothing to do with kernel not even remotely, yet logic says it might. And more than remotely - unless it's user error installing it in a wrong way. Which would welcome an explanation.

Official LOS and official TWRP here (no need for blue spark as official works for me), might try your kernel again tonight.

Big thanks for your work for years already.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
I was sooooo impatient that I managed to change to this kernel and now check this:

This is starting from 92% where I had a reboot with already 21 min SOT. Nice!

I am always on mobile data as I am in my holidays and no WiFi in range ;)

I use default settings plus balanced profile and xXx NL installed.

Btw: what do you guys think about always keeping the battery between 80 - 20 %? What about a full charge and discharge? [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] what is your opinion as a developer - especially for kernels with focus on battery saving - to this?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Hey pal, I'm really sorry I started a new work and it takes more of my time then expected. :(

But I'm glad you managed to switch anyway :)

Regarding your Screenshot, yes, that's Francos magic. His kernels are legendary across many devices - for a reason :D

As far as I know, keeping the battery between 80/20 should be the best for its lifetime. But, if you charge it to 100% it's actually 90%. To keep the battery healthy, device manufacturers already implemented this limit.

That's at least what I read a lot when I was researching about recharging.

What I do is, charging the phone if it's 10 - 15%. And then to 100%.

Full discharges are not really recommended, at least if it happens more than one time a month.

I'm also curious about Francos opinion on this topic, though he has a lot to do and might take a while to respond. :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
No need to worry..as I am mostly not even in the range of my mobile data limit I decided to heavily use it for now ;)

This attached screen is the "final score" I made this period.

I swear it was without re-charge. That's a really brilliant SOT (mobile data active, auto-brightness, gps/bl off).

I am looking forward what franco says about charging cycles. My device is nearly brand new and I want to keep it as long as possible and treat the battery well.

Edit: another question to the community. In my opinion the battery seems to be a little bit inaccurate. For example: I use my phone normally and the indicator shows 72%. Then I turn the screen off and put it into my pocket or wherever. Seconds later I turn it on and the indicator shows 70%. Do I need a calibration or is this a reason for RMA? I also had this 'problem' with a different kernel.

Can u help me franco, why everytime I flash you kernel trought your app(auto flash method) , I can't enter in twrp, it just black screen.

What I'm doing wrong?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Stoowyguy:
Could you explain load avg? Lower or higher numbers mean more battery?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Stoowyguy:
You may need to flash latest oos as I never could get to twrp without pushing it through adb with his kernel on any custom ROMs. Or try a different kernel and I read up on load avg this kernel gives me good low 2 and 3's
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] teachmeluv:
After a couple of days I am happy with this kernel. Anyway I would like to ask you guys if you know any "tweaks" you can change in the OS (I am on latest stable stock rom) to increase battery life. What do you think about adaptive battery especially in combination with FK?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] patrickdass:
Hi guys, I need some help. My OnePlus 6 keeps restarting at random times after flashing FK. Using the latest beta and the latest kernel.

He's the last logcat I pulled. Not sure how to make sense of it. Or if it's the right one.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Spiralzz:
This may be OT but I'm facing a problem: I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP through the fastboot, went into the temp TWRP, installed TWRP ZIP, installed Magisk, installed Franco, and was able to boot fine. However, I decided to do a factory reset to go through the Android setup and recover my original settings, apps, etc, but am now bootlooping into TWRP and can't boot into the system. I would appreciate advice; it's been a long time since I've done this sort of thing.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
At first, go to TWRP and flash the latest stable Magisk again. Then try to reboot to system.

If that doesn't work: Just download the full zip of OxygenOS and flash it via TWRP. Now you should be able to boot into OOS and are fully stock.

If you want to keep TWRP and root, flash the latest TWRP zip before you reboot, right after the OOS zip. Then, reboot to TWRP (not system) to verify it sticks.

Reboot to OOS and do the factory reset again, in case it wasn't successful the last time.

If you want to be rooted, reboot to TWRP and flash the latest stable Magisk and reboot system.

You should now be on a resetted OOS, rooted and with TWRP.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Spiralzz:
I forgot to update the post here; I started from scratch (flashing OOS, TWRP, Magisk, then FK) which worked for me. Thanks anyway!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ired17:
If i want ti revert to oos stock kernel, can i just flash the oos full rom twice? Right? Aside from restoring from twrp backup. Currently i don't have the stock kernel img file.

Doesnt work for me. Just gets me to some random page... What THE hell
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sacrificialpawn:
First post has a link that says "download" and shows Franco's webpage as the link. Click it the link.

Link opens to a webpage that says "there are 2 steps to download, app or manual"

Skip the app steps and go to "Manual"

Manual-

Step 1: "Choose device", click "choose device" and select your device (OnePlus 6). There's also a "Choose Android Version". I'm going to assume you are on 9 and not on a custom rom

Step 2: "Choose latest Kernel", leave it as is because it's set to the latest

Step 3: Download. Click "Download". It will download the kernel to your device

Step 4-6: Explains how to flash a kernel
