Rz-op6-oos-p-eas-v1.3.0

Hey guys!

It's HERE! lol

Lets just jump right into it.

Things to note:

Magisk is NO LONGER required to apply RZ scripting. We have gone to a new method that uses /vendor. This allows me to adjust tuning and their timing in the boot process. For more detail on how I did it:

EAS-Project/AnyKernel2@c7a6152

The changes made to /vendor will stick after reboot so if you are wanting to flash another kernel or such, you can either flash RZ-OP6-CLEANUP.zip or reflash the rom.

Upstreamed to 4.9.176

Load balancing optimizations to prevent big tasks from being pulled to small cores

Disabled TTWU_QUEUE

and much more!

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nickpapeir:
Great work ! ! ! In addition if we want to revert to stock kernel we can just flash the backup boot from TWRP recovery,is that right ?

Wow this Kernel flows without problem .. No lags ..

Wow esta Kernel fluye sin problema.. No hay lags..
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Unfortunately not. RZ makes changes to /vendor that survive reboots so they will either need to be undon via our cleanup zip (included with kernel and inside kernel zip) or by reflashing oos.

Reflashing oos is the easiest way to do so but it is for when we start supporting custom roms that don't ship with their own /vendor, the cleanup zip would be the easiest choice.

Esta muy buen!

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] stefantana:
Hi, does RZ work on both stable and OpenBeta? What OOS release do you suggest to pair with 1.3?

Thank you for bringing us this amazing kernel :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gregsoir:
go stable, ob is crap.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] prstorero:
Just flashed the latest update. I noticed I still had to re-flash magisk in order to get my phone to boot. Is that still a thing?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Deacon-Frost:
Nope, Magisk was kept after having flashed the kernel. No problems here.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] prstorero:
Weird. Mine kept booting back to recovery when I was choosing system.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Never had that issue before. Magisk is not required to boot nor is it removed by flashing RZ. You coming from a clean ramdisk/rom? If not, maybe there is something left over from another kernel?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
I will be supporting the op6 for the foreseeable future. We still support the op5 and op3 a bit.

More than likely I will be porting some of the work we do for the OP7 (SD855).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] prstorero:
Your kernel is the only one I've ever flashed on this phone, so there's not any remnants from another custom one. I used to run open beta some time ago and switched back to stable (several months ago).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] villadecai:
No issues so far here.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] startas:
Did anyone try to use this kernel with lineageos 16 ? Is it compatible with it ? Does everything work ok ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] villadecai:
Only Oos.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mariusfl0rian:
Anyone tried with OP-Beta 18? Or should I stick to the stock kernel, due to incompatibility. Thanks, and sry for maybe this dumb question.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Stable version is preferable. I believe some folks with the open beta there was a reboot issue when using the kernel.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] neinfricatu:
Yeah, it's working perfect on beta. The last version had some reboot issues which op promised to fix and he did.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] stefantana:
I have one question about frequencies scaling.

I noticed that little cluster never goes below 1516 MHz under normal usage or even when when CPU load is 1/2%.

Is it an expectable behaviour? OOS 9.0.5

PS:

Big cluster scales well and it boosts up when I game or do "heavy" tasks so no problem with it.

Overall, the kernel seems super fast and smooth
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] prstorero:
How long did you give it? Mine went down to 300mhz in a few seconds when I checked. Maybe some stuff is going on in the background that you aren't aware of?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] stefantana:
Hi, No I checked the background processes and there is nothing strange.

I'm on OOS 9.0.5 with Magisk Canary 19102.

The mods I have are Renovate Ice, Product Sans font and iOS Emoji. I also use Swift Installer to theme the system.

I don't get what could be wrong, after a while (it could be 30min or 1 hour, the frequencies on little cluster stick between 1516 MHz and 1766 MHz.

Before Installing the kernel I did Msm to clean system, installed 9.0.5 on both slots, flashed magisk, then kernel then all the mods
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] prstorero:
Strange. What app are you using to check the frequencies? Perhaps you could try uninstalling (or just freeze them) apps one by one and seeing if one of them is the culprit? I've done that in the past for battery drain.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] stefantana:
I checked with EX, FK and even with DevCheck and same result. I don't use nothing special, I'm trying to discover the problem but none of magisk modules I have seem to be the problem.

Could the problem be the flash procedure?

I do Msm, then I update via in built uodater to 9.0.5, reboot, update again through the updater, reboot, unlock the bootloader whitch also wipes the internal storage, boot twrp, install twrp, reboot recovery and flash magisk, reboot system, reboot recovery and flash kernel.

Is anything wrong with this?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nirogu325:
Side note: there's a 9.0.5 msm firmware since...a day or two after 9.0.5 was released. Its thread is in the General section, unbrick tools. Saves you time.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
There's been some issues with Magisk lately. Try just opening the app for 10 seconds and then see if things settle down after.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] stefantana:
No, they don't low down sadly
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Do the little cores idle at all? If you are talking about during input, this is expected due to boosting Top-app to 20. If you mean during idle, you got issues. I don't know which build but I remember hearing some ppl having issues with a beta version of magisk. Might be related?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] -Deco-:
Either upgrade to Magisk 19.2, and reflash the RZ kernel afterwards or downgrade to Magisk 19.1 and reflash the RZ kernel afterwards.

Both options will fix your issue (a ramdisk problem).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gorilla p:
I seem to be noticing the same thing.

Updated to Magisk 19.3, reflashed latest RZ, all cores always active.

Disabled touchboost.

Checked in EX and CPU Monitor.

Cores are dropping to minimum freq, but not going offline.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gorilla p:
You can see where the cores baseline at the minimum frequency but don't go offline in the graphs.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
I don't think I have ever seen any core offlined on the SD845. I just went back to stock and get the exact same results. Can you confirm that you have seen cores offline on the OP6/T? If so, what kernel so I can try to reproduce.

PS: CPU Monitor is a sweet tool. Thanks for the report!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] -Deco-:
The cores will shutdown themselves once Android detects that the phone has entered an idle state, however with AES will never turn off the cores forcefully during an active display, (aside from hypothetical cases with thermal throttles in extreme scenarios, however this would not occur to the CPU due to changes which ARM have done to the CPU at a design level) as this would cause interference with the delegation of tasks to available resources.

Overall, you would see a minimum gain, or potentially overall more detrimental impact by turning off the cores during an active session, as you will be forcing the cores which remain online to work overtime to process resources.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Lownita:
The frame drops I've had with this phone from the beginning are pretty much gone with your latest kernel. After using it for the last few days, I am very happy with the performance! As of now, this is the only kernel that has achieved this.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gorilla p:
That makes sense. I never really checked to look before u til the other person mentioned it. Battery life has been good. Never having cores go offline is just a foreign concept to me, but it's probably not a big deal given how power efficient current CPU's are.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] -Deco-:
Yes this used to be the "defacto" method for the old CPU throttling scheduler around the SD 810 era, since there was no concept behind scaling with a powerplan it was more simple to plug the heat generated by shutting them down (hotplugging), however was very inefficient as the cores were consistently being woken for tasks delegating GPU usage, which in turn led to voltage problems with batteries and the component hardware itself.

EAS was probably the single biggest innovation leading to the stark performance gap between the SD 845 and 835, hence why the shutting of cores was done away with.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nickpapeir:
What about touch latency ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Very good. Always does great numbers on the Jitter test
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nickpapeir:
I noticed that WIFI signal is very weak. Did anyone else noticed that ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xpakage:
Mine is the same it has been in the same locations.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Same as always for me. Wifi drivers are untouched and the same as stock OOS
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Great! Consistent UX is what we aim for. There is no point in lowering gpu profiling any lower. Its really about the consistency of dropped frames. As long as you render each from under 16.6ms, it will all be 60fps, even if you render each from in 1ms. You have to find a happy medium.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] villadecai:
Love the battery and performance of last stable.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] tanish2k09:
Have you thought about k-lapse yet? I'll probably be pushing an update this weekend with a new version that matches Linux kernel coding style, with major refactoring to reduce the code length while adding some more features ;)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
It is on my todo list for testing. I have heard alot of great things about it. So far I really like what I see. Good job!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] startas:
Are there any battery life comparisons for this kernel vs stock oneplus kernel ? I am using stock kernel for now, and i noticed kind of high battery drain when the phone sleeps in stand by - about 1% per hour, which is almost the same as my other 5 year old phone, while oneplus 6 is brand new. I also read a lot of posts about high battery drain in idle in phone reviews, and i wonder what part of software is so inefficient. Also, i always turn off every feature that i dont use - wifi, bt, mobile internet, nfc, gps, everything is off, all apps are closed, i also dont use apps that spy in the background on you.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] SingularityFX:
Word of caution: if you're using this kernel release and then you want to switch to another or simply flash back stock boot image MAKE SURE you don't forget to use the CLEANUP.ZIP otherwise you will end up unable to boot os nor twrp.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] villadecai:
With this kernel battery improves.

Try it
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
Kernels have little impact on idle drain (except if there is some bug in it but it's very rare).

I suppose you checked for wakelocks with better battery stats. If not it's the first thing to do.

You can also try to deblaot OOS to reduce the chances of having an app that drains your battery as well as reducing the number of apps running in the background. Some telemetry packages removed could always help too. For that you can use XXX or my debloater (check my signature).

A last possibility would be to go on a custom ROM and stop using gapps. But that's probably a bit extreme and should be tried as a last remedy.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Phones of old also used hotplugging and other methods to offline cores during idle. Newer SoCs have been able to leave cores enabled all the time and only use idle States to save energy where it can. The performance hit and energy loss of hotplugging (compared to current SoCs) while screen on outweighed the negligible energy savings. Especially when you take into mind the gains in battery and charging technology.

I will have to test this out to confirm. I don't see how leaving the vendor changes would cause the phone to not boot with another kernel or not go into twrp.

What kernel did you try to go to? I would like to investigate further. Thanks for the heads up.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] angourakis:

i'm liking it and going to stick with it, for now :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Totone56:
Damn, i remember the good old Nexus 4 days, when i figured out using agressive Hotplug techniques actually destroyed the battery. With light usage, because of the constant activation/deactivation of CPU cores with things like Intelliplug, and cores being boosted on each wakeup, the drain was abysmal.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Yea, I remember those days too. What joy they were lol. But, we were able to get better deep sleep drainage. Just that to me doesnt matter much. It did help when it took forever to charge the battery, but not we can get a full charge in such a short time that idle drainage doesnt matter much anymore.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mutuz:
Do you guys prefer stable release or open betas? I'm using OB19 but I read somewhere that the OB releases had a lot of debugging codes making them a lit bit heavier. Is it true?

Anyway, tested a lot of kernels but this is the one I always come back to.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xpakage:
I am not a dev, super rich, or a criminal Mastermind. I am a user that wants my phone to work better than OEM/stock, but it has to be stable because my wife is equipped with a matching device.

I prefer stock ROMs, or ROMs that do not lose stock features.

I have had this kernel on both phones as the daily driver since 1.1.0. I may try another kernel for a day or two, but always back to RZ. Now I don't even try the others since 1.3.0. I am truly starting to believe it is a waste of time ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gorilla p:
Yeah I used to have fun tweaking all the customizations in Kernel Adiutor and creating different profiles for HellsCore and AK kernels. I setup a little file mirror folder for useful N4 stuff and the profiles. I used bit.ly for easy name. Looking at the traffic info showing the number of people using it as well as locations was really interesting.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Stable always. Beta is a beta. There's going to be quirks and issues from time to time and I don't want to put up with that. OB does indeed have extra debugging code enabled and increases the jank when considering performance and smoothness.

Some people like to live on the wild side and that's fine. Me personally I need my phone to be stable and working for work and in general.

Hi there, I have tried this kernel based on the amazing responses I have been hearing but I keep ending up on the same issue for the past few builds. I have tried oxygen 9.0.5, OB 17 18 19 and I still have the same reboot issue. I'm thinking it's one of my mods and/or scripts, just need help narrowing it down, because I have tried disabling all of them and still doesn't work. Currently the magisk modules I have are:

Ainur Narsil

Audio Compability Patch

Audio Modification Library

Bluetooth Stack Bitrate

BusyBox

Google product Sans

Substratum

GMS Doze

Viper FX

Wifi Bonding

No Limits Rom

The only script I run is the Tomatot Debloater

I have searched for hours on this issue but only this specific person had a similar Issue, any help would be appreciated thank you so much.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
thanks for the kind words!

Yea, I never went beta on my op5 and was always on stable. When I got the 6, I figured I would try OB just to see what it was all about. this was the very early days of RZ and I was ironing out some issues with the scheduler. I kept noticing weird GPU Profiling whenever I would scroll to the bottom of a list and then the overscroll shade would appear. It drove me nuts till someone mentioned the same thing was solved once going to stable. Long story short, it was just OB that caused it and it would even do it to the stock kernel. When the issue occurs, it would drop frames. It is almost imperceptible because it would drop frames at a consistent rate. Kinda like how if you get a solid 30fps, it doesnt look as choppy as wavering between 25 -35fps all the time. Now I stick to stable as its also the only source that is unified for op6/t.

I could better help you if you grab my all the logs from Syslog from the playstore. It would show me what is actually causing the reboot.
