Hello everyone, this is my personal kernel for the OnePlus 5. While I am not a super star kernel developer, I do know my way around it. Hopefully you enjoy :highfive:

Mainline CFQ scheduler improvements

Several subsystems converted to use power efficient workqueues

Through TWRP:

If you are on a custom ROM:

If you are on the kernel that came with your ROM: flash the kernel zip and reboot

If you are on a custom kernel: dirty flash your ROM zip, flash the kernel zip, and reboot

Upgrading from one Reaper version to the other:

Just flash the kernel zip and reboot

1.1 Q: I am having an issue, can you help me?

1.1 A: I am not an amazing kernel developer but I will certainly try my best. First, start by reading the release posts, as I may make note of a particular issue. Also search the thread to see if I have discussed it before. If you see nothing, please provide me with a dmesg/last_kmsg and logcat, your ROM/kernel version, and a detailed description of the issue, following this guide. If I can't reproduce reliably, I'm not going to fix the issue.

1.2 Q: What ROMs are compatible with the custom builds?

1.2 A: My daily driver is GZOSP so I test all the builds on this ROM but this kernel should work on other pie ROMs. If you are using a ROM with no issues, let me know and I'll add it here! If you are having issues, following the above steps and I'll attempt to fix whatever incompatibility there is. If I can't do it without breaking GZOSP compatibility, you're out of luck.

1.3 Q: Can you add xyz feature?

1.3 A: If you link me the commits or tell me what kernel you had the feature in, I can take a look at them. I will not go digging super hard for commits and I will ignore requests that don't include this information. I won't promise that I will merge every request but I will always take it into consideration.

1.4 Q: How do I control the kernel?

1.4 A: I want to be very clear: the kernel does NOT need to be tuned to be useful. Most of the improvements are under the hood and don't require any user intervention to take advantage of them. In fact, if you don't know what you are doing, you could degrade the experience. To control the user visible features of the kernel listed above, I recommend using @flar2's EX Kernel Manager.

1.5 Q: OMFG MY BATTERY SUXXXX PLS FIX!!!

1.5 A: The kernel doesn't drain any battery, use an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out what app is screwing with your phone.
