Enabled dt2w in kernel settings as you suggested, this did not help with single tap to view ambient display. As a matter of fact dt2w isn't working with that enabled either. If I enable dt2w in OOS settings, dt2w works. I'm wanting to view ambient display though.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Rryann22:
Is f2fs supported ?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
It's enabled in the defconfig but not tested myself nor any of my testers.

Fantastic Kernel as always [MENTION=5044876]acuicultor[/MENTION] ?? Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vandizzam:
Battery is incredible with latest release and the newest radioactive module. Makes me think the module isn't working since I get so much battery life. Either way, kernel is fast and smooth with crazy battery life.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cultofluna:
Why this module is not mentioned on the OP?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vandizzam:
I don't know. I think it should be.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dyval:
Where did you download the new module?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vandizzam:
It's on page 39
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
Next build will include my custom settings, no need to flash magisk module anymore btw the current version without any modification is very good performance and battery wise, at least in my device.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] EBeatFLA:
Battery is pretty insane for regular use, thanks again. I have a feeling I'm not getting as much game time as I was on Pie for battery draining games like PUBG. Just a feeling for now, I haven't done any direct testing. It would require going back to Pie to test, so I'm not interested.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] samyong76:
I can confirm that dt2w as kernel settings doesn't work. but the inbuilt OOS one does.

using the OOS inbuilt one deprived the usage of tap to view ambient display. whereas the dt2w allows for the best of both worlds.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] deepu458:
I am on latest build OOS A10 Stable and i can say that its working with FK manager app. I just enabled Dt2W setting under the FK app and under Oneplus System Setting -> under Fingerprint i have Tap the screen to show enabled. I can enable AOD screen with single tap.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] techlogik:
Don't know what is going on, but EXKernel along with several other kernels I tried, single or DT2W doesn't work on the Ambient. Stock kernel, does.

Tried everything. Only thing for that function is flash the stock kernel/rooted .img file and just go with that.

Thx
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] EBeatFLA:
Actually, i went back to stock kernel, and tap to wake ambient still wasn't working. I began to think it wasn't kernel related, so I tried removing several things and changing several options, still wasn't working.

Then I re-read your message and saw that you used the magisk-patched.img. Once I flashed that, boom, tap to wake ambient was working.

So, it is kernel related. OnePlus stock kernel has the same issue. You can read OP7 users having the same issue since the update. However, for some reason the Magisk patched kernel is fine.

I'm going back to Radioactive because I'd rather live without being able to wake ambient than to not have kcal or the sweet sweet battery life. But, maybe kernel builders can look into how the tap for ambient is working for the Magisk patched kernel
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
Is not kernel issue mate, several users have it working, those who have problems with that should reflash oos and start with a "fresh" system, that's it.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] EBeatFLA:
Ok, I apologize. I have tried starting clean twice today. So technically I was on my third clean install when I posted last. But, then I remembered you said to enable dt2w in kernel settings, which I forgot to try after the clean install. AND IT WORKS!!

So, for me, stock kernel it didn't work... Patched stock kernel, it works... Custom kernel, enable dt2w, it works. Even though dt2w didn't help it work before, maybe the clean OOS install helped.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
No need to apologize mate. Now you can enjoy the kernel at 100% and that's what's important.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SingularityFX:
So do I. I had to search for it

Ok, awaiting next build mate. Before flashing I will delete magisk module.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TENlll423:
Thanks for the kernel... I don't use ambient display or anything like that, but double tap to wake works just like it does with stock kernel or Omega. I do appreciate KCAL control though... I can finally get this ridiculous color under control with Android 10. Thanks...

forgot to mention that performance and snappiness is awesome.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheQuarterMile:
Can someone share their Kcal settings to get the screen colours to look like pie.

I finally did a dirty flash of Android Q, rooted it, then TWRP, then flashed Elemental and Radioactive Kernels, after enabling the feature DT2W in the EXKM app. Now it is working again.

No idea what happened and when, but the stock kernel of course requires no special setting, it just works. Seems like you have to enable the function and it isn't enabled by default and an app is required possibly.

Whatever...working again.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] dpaine88:
Hello, I just wanted to make sure I read install instructions correctly. Since I dont have TWRP installed, can I just flash the kernel using the manual flasher on the FK kernel or EXkernel app? Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
That's correct.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TheQuarterMile:
I'm using FK kernel manager and the display tuning parameters are quite different. Can't lower saturation below 224.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TENlll423:
yeah I'd say they're definitely I have saturation raised to 60..

I believe it's usually around 32 in EKM.

Nevertheless, just keep at it man it took me about an hour to get color under control using KCAL-advanced color control.…..I'm really happy with the looks of my phone right now I'm definitely staying on A10..
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
You must set advanced and amoled wide gamut under screen in oos settings
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TENlll423:

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
Hi folks, moved the thread to the appropriate place on cross device development take a look at op for link, also updated the kernel and built a version for custom roms, tested in omnirom for now, you tell me if work in other ones. Like always download link and detailed changelog in op.

Enjoy!!!!

Any chance of making a kernel for McLaren model? Regualr 6t boot img does not contain warp charge ability. Here is stock McLaren boot img if you want to make one for all us McLaren users. Thanks for you work.

Sorry for the late reply. Use latest exkm app from play store and you will find sound control tab

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Texan1:
Thanks acuicultor, great work and much appreciated! :good:

Question - if we want to try a different kernel, can we just flash straight over yours, or does yours make some changes to the system that requires stock boot.img flash first before flashing a different custom kernel?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] indian84:
It is recommended that you flash stock boot image before changing kernels.

Should not be a difficult task, as you are in TWRP to flash custom kernel.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] JBlaze05:
Does this support LTO?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
Not using clang to compile my kernels so no, this doesn't support lto.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] JBlaze05:
nice. i can totally understand though as the added build time is a bit ridiculous.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mxz55:
one of the reasons I love this kernel is it being kept up-to-date (with upstream Linux kernel) constantly. Both for security and stability/performance..

Besides stress testing I really don't understand why OnePlus and other brands stick to kernel versions of nearly a year old (on Android 9.0 devices), yeah apparently they develop their phones on a certain version when they start internal versions and prototypes and then consider it the safest to stick with it for the full device lifetime.

But as we can see here, something updated can be fully stable too.. why don't they want security and stability benefits?

Anyways, to offer us that, good job

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] tet-bundy:

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Dr. Krieger:
So what would be the steps?

Flash stock boot then TWRP installer than reboot to recovery to flash new kernel and magisk (if needed)?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] indian84:
Yup.

I believe with TWRP installer zip you have to flash Magisk or it won't boot

Anyone had issues with double-tap to wake randomly not working, screen freezes and/or camera force closing?

Trying to work out if it's the OS or kernel that may be doing this.

Can i turn off fsync without installing the tweaker app?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
Yes, you can do it via terminal

1) Install Terminal Emulator from Play Store.

2) Open it and type following commands:

su

echo N > /sys/module/sync/parameters/fsync_enabled

To re-enable Fsync, just replace "N" with "Y" in the echo command.

quick question, rooted, magisk 18.0, on OOS beta 3 and another kernel; to try this, just flash it in TWRP and reboot?

thanks
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
No. You need to restore your stock boot img, first
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
thanks, thats what I thought..now to find the stock boot img for beta 3..
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
Should be in the recovery thread iirc. In the future, backup you stock img in EXKM. Then, you can just restore it in between kernels
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
i wonder if the stock img file is the same one as in beta 3...

I guess I can just find the beta 3 zip file, and extract the img file from there, if I cant just find the beta kernel..
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
flashed the stock beta 3 boot image, and phone booted fine; then I rebooted to recovery, so I could flash this kernel, and it booted to the stock recovery, and, of course, wont boot into the rom now, I can only boot into stock recovery or fastboot..

a little confused as to what to do now..

thanks!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
Fastboot flash the installer, then magisk, when you boot up, make a backup if the patched img with EXKM
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
thanks again man, but, after booting to fastboot, then doing a "power off", now the phone has just booted normally!

this dual slot stuff takes a while to get used to, I guess..not sure if I should try rebooting to recovery again, or if I should just do a fastboot flash as you suggested..
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
I'm glad you got it booted, but you will still need to flash the installer for a custom recovery. Then magisk to get it to boot. THEN make a backup of that patched img and you wont have to go through this again. I always backup my stock img the minute I boot up on a new Os
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
thanks bro, will grab the new update, then do all you suggested..

I miss the days of single slot flashing!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
Indeed. A/B slots is the most retarded concept that I ever heard of. I could deal with it if we had a dedicated recovery partition....
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] abalam:
A/B is simple. But indeed 1 partition is easy :svetius: Remember when you are in A and boot to twrp and flash oos again the phone boots to B. When you reboot to twrp again and flash again oos you are in B but afther reboot it is A again. Simple thinking haha. When you are on A and reboot to twrp again, flash kernel or some mods you still bee on A afther reboot. The switching from A to B only happens only when flashing a rom.zip
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
For me, its not that that is hard to remember. Its the fact that if you screw up your boot img somehow, you just lost recovery as well. And that is a PITA to recover from
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
so what I did, if it helps anyone, was to flashboot to my twrp image; then when twrp opened, I flashed the new kernel, and the latest magisk, both in the same session...rebooted, and everything works as expected!

its weird, I have "muscle memory" of how I USED to flash phones over the years, but, I guess I need to forget all those things, and get used to this new way of doing things..

Thanks again for helping me:good::good:
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] abalam:
Always but AlWaYs flash twrp.zip afther flashing rom.zip
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
should I go back and flash twrp.zip after just installing your kernel and magisk only?

thanks
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
If you didnt flash the installer and only the img, you don't have recovery anymore. Guess you didn't want to take my suggestion about backing up your stock img first, either.......
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
senior moment, I guess I better start the process again...geesh!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] abalam:
Flash recovery in fastboot, done!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
Flash the installer, then magisk. Then boot up and MAKE A BACKUP of your stock, patched img. THEN you can flash kernels to your hearts content via exkm. Just be sure to restore you backed up stock img in between flashing kernels.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:
weird, I reflashed the kernel, then magisk, then the twrp installer, rebooted and I keep rebooting to twrp; I flashed twrp a second time, and it still keeps booting to twrp..

should I reflash the stock boot img, reboot, then reflash the kernel/magisk/twrp installer again, and then reboot?

sorry about all the questions..

thanks
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
You have to flash magisk AFTER the installer. Otherwise you wont boot
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] abalam:
Ohhhhh man:eek:
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wase4711:

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vichao.s:
When I was on 2.5.4 (257MHz min freq) I got around 8 hours avg. I just flashed 2.6.8 ytd so I dont know about sot yet, but sofar I still have 75% remaining from 10h last full charge and 2h screen on.

[MENTION=4252752]jananan[/MENTION]

Edit: For V2.6.8. I got around ~>8.45h SOT while screen brightness stayed between 30-50%. Usage detail are attached below.

Here is SOT based on my personal usage and setting.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] WillSmith89:
GPU underclock is as useless as changing min frequency of little core from 576 to 300Mhz.Even Google has seemed 180MHz step to be unstable hence default is 257 Mhz on most of the devices.

Qualcomm,Google and OEMs put a fair amount of effort to decide what's the best.While custom kernels can improve performance or battery life, tinkering with frequencies isn't recommended.

Ultimately,your battery life depends upon how you use your phone.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acuicultor:
Totally agree that's why default freqs in this kernel are same like stock kernel but if someone wants to change them is free to do it if he wants.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ZeroKool76:
So, you're trying to say that the voltage used for 180 is the same as 257? Cuz thats about where that comparison would stop. UC'ing the CPU and GPU are two different things. Sitting here, reading a random article at 180, isn't gonna take as much juice as UC'ing the CPU. Why? The CPU now has to use more juice cycling through the extra frequency when performing a task. So, it actually hurts your device to UC. I don't believe the GPU uses the same algorithm or is under the same load constraints. It always idles at 180 and very rarely changes. CPU's don't work that way. But again, I am not a kernel dev, just going off of my own experiences. And I wouldn't say that Google Deemed it "unstable", but rather, as UC and OC depends heavily on the binning of your device. So, they chose 257 as a middle ground. I have absolutely no issues running at 180. Pretty sure that's why he stopped the OC at 838 as well. Not everyone's phone can run at the higher speeds. Mine, fortunately can.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] maxq1:
looking good on 9.0.12. can't chime in on SOT yet though. so if there's a kernel update i just flash it over?

btw, thanks for sharing your work, OP!
