[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Deacon-Frost:
Yup, flashed on 907. Works fine.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Been busy of late. I have a number of new changes incoming on the next build. I have reworked task placement through the slow wakeup path. I have worked to bring our source inline with 4.14 CAF source so that we can bring over newer changes from our OP7 Pro kernel work. Also, Oneplus released their latest Open Beta kernel source so I will be going through it and making sure there are not any requisite changes needed to better support OB's with out kernel kernel source. Thanks guys as always for your patience. You guys are the best. I think that you all realize that just because we may seem silent, it doesnt mean work isn't happening.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lemon07r:
How do people feel about this kernel for the OP6? I used to be a flashaholic but now I just settle for whatever works and is most battery efficient without feeling laggy or broken because I don't have enough time to play around with kernels and such anymore. Seems like we have quite a few choices between this, franco's kernel, arter97, and smurf kernel. Not even sure what the big differences are.. I've just been using franco kernel cause it's just worked and been pretty battery (and UX performance) friendly at 50% underclock, but EAS sounds super interesting now that I've read up on it. Placebo or are there actually significant gains?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
All kernels use EAS on this phone but it's just that some of them tweak it, like it's case with this kernel.

Honestly, you can't go wrong, most kernels are absolutely fine.

This kernel is among the best performance wise, I'd say average battery wise. It's a really solid choice and it's tested for a long time before getting released so it's very stable.

Smurf is very impressive in terms of performance and even battery life but tend to be a little more experimental and therefore less stable for some users. You also have a config file so you can choose to be more or less performance or battery friendly.

Arter has great feedback too.

Again, you can't go wrong so try each of them for a few days and see which one you prefer.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xpakage:
I have it on two OP6 phones. It is the best for how I use my phone. I used to jump to different kernels when they came out (except arter97 due to changing encryption). I always come back to RZ.

I am extremely happy with it, and so is my wife on her phone!

Kernels are a personal choice but if you try this one for 2 days or 2 charge cycles, you will notice a difference.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lemon07r:
Mind me asking what differences you noticed personally or why you always came back to RZ? I kind of want to skip the whole kernel hopping stage.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xpakage:
Some are battery friendly when not being used. Some are battery friendly when being used (although not as snappy). In my opinion, this kernel is snappy and very battery friendly whether sleeping or being used.

I also listen to hours of Pandora a day, which some of the kernels seem to use more battery to do, and RZ doesn't.

But as stated, all these kernels are good, and the devs work hard. You will find the one that does what you want and is as battery friendly as you expect! Render Zenith just happens to be that kernel for how I use my phone.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
I've been on most kernels past months. Imo the stock kernel is almost the best in term of performance and battery. The only kernel that's as good as stock is RZ.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
If you're able to tolerate Franco which is underclocked then almost any kernel will work well for you in terms of performance.

With RZ I consider as a max fluidity type of kernel where everything works buttery smooth. With same battery as stock or above average compared to stock.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lemon07r:
I can use franco with up to a 50% underclock without noticing any UX performance or smoothness drop at all. I've used smurf kernel, same settings which felt just as smooth but my phone was hotter a lot more often and died quicker on smurf so I switched back. Honestly I find my OP6 so fast that performance isn't an issue. I'm looking for the kernel that will give me the most for my battery since I only really text, use social media apps (ig, fb, sc, etc), chat apps (whatsapp, discord, line, kik, etc), listen to music (tidal, soundcloud, etc), google maps, watch youtube and browse forums/reddit which all aren't very performance demanding but a bit battery consuming at times. After a day of moderate use today, I was left with 30%, been trying to figure out how to get a little more out of my battery.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Well if you're looking for max battery life then I would say this isn't the kernel for you. RZ prefers stability and performance first, then battery second. You'll be basically looking into neutering your phone at this point.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
Looking forward to a new release ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Rz-op6-oos/custom/omni-p-eas-v1.4.0

This is for OP6/T

Great News! We are now supporting Custom/Omni variants along with OOS.

This release uses our AK2 source here:

EAS-Project/AnyKernel2@03b1195

Things to note:

* Upstreamed to 4.9.185

* Brought in latest OOS changes

* Updated scheduler with EAS changes from 4.14 CAF. More specifically I was able to update find_best_target(). There are a number of optimizations with placing tasks through the EAS path. This will also allow us to port newer EAS changes from our OP7Pro work to the OP6/T.

* Further adjustments to the scheduler to account for Stune Boosted tasks.

* Changed how CAF's sched_boost does full boost and conservative boost and how it decides what tasks to boost

* I am sure there is much more that I have forgotten.

I would like to thank all those that help test and refine RZ. This project has grown from a dude messing around with android 2.1 to a large community. Now that this release is done, I will be focusing more on the OP7 Pro for the short term. But we will still be supporting the OP6/T for the foreseeable future. What I am planning on doing is to further update other areas of the OP6/T scheduler we have brought up so that we can port more and more of our newer changes from the 7Pro to the OP6/T.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
Awesome! Appreciate your work. I guess this doesn't support DC Dimming from the latest OOS beta yet, am I right?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Correct. I don't base on beta sources. I will be taking a look into what it would take to port.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ed-gonzo:
Runs perfectly on my OP6 :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
I must say, this kernel is amazing. Lately I've been a fan of stock kernel. It's improved a lot since release. But this kernel just smoothens over the small UI glitches, is fast as hell and still has better battery life than stock. Mad creds to the devs!

Hopefully a update with DC Dimming will be up after oneplus release the source codes. Thanks

I must say 100% agree with joakimbo for all of the above. Very good work indeed RB! Big Thank You for this! Best battery behaviour 7-8h OST within a 24h charging cycle while smooth as a purring cat. And I've tried them all, including previous versions of RZ. This is the one ;)

What steps should I take to flash this? I'm currently using smurf kernel
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] cmart4:
Wow. What a kennel. No micro lag on oos for pretty much anything
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] reppi:
Flash stock boot.img. Then TWRP installer. Reboot TWRP. Flash magisk. Flash kernel. Reboot.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Totone56:
Running like a champ on Pixel Experience CAF :)

The thing that strikes me the most is reactivity and touch latency (or to be precise, the lack thereof). There is a huge gap between this and stock/BluSpark/Smurf kernels. The phone feels amazing.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] tunerskynet:
what's rzop6 cleanup.zip?

for bootleggers rom flashed custom? it's based aosip
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
The zip removes our /vendor changes

So, with Custom, I will have to do something different. On OOS I tied into /vendor to apply RZ scripting. This allows us to forego the magisk requirement. I have nothing against magisk, I just don't feel like being tied to it just to apply RZ values properly. For Custom, I think you guys do /vendor a bit different. I meant to dig deeper into it but it was working fine and I had gotten busy with other work.

Hi,

about to test on Lineage 16 ...

Just flashed no wipe no nothing just flashed it.

First impressions:

- wLan broken

- smooth UI

- app start equal to stock lineage maybe a bit fast

Will actualise my impressions and findings ...need to check for wLan first ;) this is a known problem for kernel of various vendors ...

Blessings
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Sorry, it isn't made for LOS. It is made for OMNI and Custom OMNI variants. I will see if I can make that a bit clearer. Thanks for the report though!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] GamingDevilsCC:
To clarify, does that mean if we're on OOS, we have to flash this before doing a clean install, or flash this before switching to another kernel?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] tassos_chry:
[MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION]

Sorry for the off topic but any chance of bringing this awesome kernel to OnePlus 7 besides the Pro?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xpakage:
I flash the uninstaller even when upgrading to his new kernel, flash a new boot image, flash TWRP, reboot into recovery, flash Magisk, and the kernel....

But definitely should be done before flashing a different kernel (you'll be back) ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] -Deco-:
For clarification:

Full wipe - no, the vendor partition will be reset on a full wipe.

Different kernel - yes, as they most likely will not use the vendor partition for configuration files.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] c0llal0:
My fault, I thought Custom includes Lineage but looking at GH it is clear that lineage has got a different WiFi stack
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Totone56:
I thought the same haha, coming from PixelExperience CAF to Lineage, I wanted to keep using RZ, I thought "Custom" meant "Non-Omni based ROMs".

Kinda sad though, Lineage has quickly become my favourite ROM !
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
As others have stated here, it is only if you are wanting to go to another kernel. You can always dirty flash RZ ontop of RZ.

I just dont know. I hate blind building as the thing that I feel makes RZ great is our ability to be hands on and the testing we do. If we cannot do that, then it may not perform up to our standard. I have been giving it some thought though. I would love to support it with the work we are doing for the Pro.

I thought it was interesting that the kernel booted. I thought LOS used their own device trees but apparently they are similar enough to the OOS ones we use. I will have to give this more thought as well. Maybe there is something that can be done.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Totone56:
That would be awesome haha, but take your time haha, you don't owe us anything ;)

Noob question: is it safe to flash this kernel on OB23?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] wh000penator:

I Miss spectrum Support but IT seems a good kernel

Still Testing.

Anyone had freeze and reboot since latest release? Happened three times past week for me. Came from stock kernel without any reboots. I have xXx nolimits though, could it be the reason?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ed-gonzo:
could be
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] K-Paradise:
Noticed the same twice; both in the night. Phone rebooted but went into bootloop. OB23+xXX
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
Hmm.. Do you you by any chance have the kernel tweaks enabled? I have that, so gonna reflash xXx and disable those tweaks and see what happends.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
I am thinking that its OB23. The source for OB and stable are now diverging enough that I think the reboots are a side effect. I personally use Stable. The other problem is that the crashdumps don't really help at all. It has to do with the memory changes on OB.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
You may be correct. I removed the kernel tweaks from xXx the other day, and I just had another reboot. It's often happening while I use snapchat somehow. Will move over to stable after next release.

BTW: Do you think it will be any issues with the next stable release?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] abhij973:
can u update the flashing instructions, as it still says that magisk is complusory.?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Hey mate,

Just thought I'd give you a heads up on the NoLimits kernel tweaks.

These shouldn't be causing any boot loops due to the service applying them on boot completion.

There aren't any current reports of boot looping with NoLimits as far as I'm aware.

I hope this helps somewhat. ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] -Deco-:
By technicality it is - since Magisk is required to flash the kernel in TWRP.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
I would have to see if I could reconcile the differences between stable and OB.

idk how many times I have fixed this line. . . I swear it's doing some crazy nonsense on its own lol.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Not really. One can fastboot to TWRP and flash.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
I don't think so. At least not out of the box. Any projects you know of that have this feature? I might be able to take a look.

Unfourtanetly I get headaches when I use wifi.

So I am trying to avoid it as much as possible.

And although others don't get headaches or feel anything bad ...they should restrict their wifi-usage too.

It is very unhealthy on the long run and we are bathing in it every day.

There are nowadays enough independent studies about that.

And yes ...when I am at home ... it is the most comfortable (and safe) way to do research on the web ...

Anyone can confirm that this kernel version also works on 9.0.8?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tagion:
It works, but DC dimming doesn't.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] DiGtal:
That does not make sense. Why would having Magisk have any effect on what you can do in recovery?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] -Deco-:
Because the recovery will be lost without flashing Magisk - meaning in order to update the kernel you would need to go through the process of continuously fastbooting into TWRP, a more than tedious task.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] DiGtal:
That is not true. You can boot into recovery and flash anything you want even if it overrides the recovery partition. As long as you don't reboot, the recovery program stays in memory. To that effect you can flash TWRP after updating the kernel or ROM before you reboot. TWRP even allows you to create a queue of files to flash.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] -Deco-:
Yes however how often is it for a phone not to reboot? Substratum themes themselves require rebooting in order to apply updated overlays, and nevermind attempting to utilise modified boot scripts.

It is not possible to update TWRP alongside a ROM update beforehand, if the TWRP image file is queued before the ROM update is applied, it will be overwritten. This is because the ROM does not actually begin writing it's changes up until a reboot is performed (nevermind that this is not possible anymore as TWRP migrated to a ISO image and not a zip file anymore, both of which are not compatible for flashing at the same time).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] cherrz:
Why this over SmurfKernel? Just asking. Which is better and why for you?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xpakage:
There is no answer to this question. Everything is subjective.

You should try this kernel and decide if you like it better than the other kernels.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] DiGtal:
How is any of this related to needing Magisk to install TWRP? Of course you need to flash the ROM before you flash TWRP because the ROM package will overwrite the boot image. TWRP is to be installed after the ROM is flashed. You don't need to reboot between flashes.

Also TWRP does have a zip package. It modifies the boot image to allow TWRP to work as the recovery.

You don't need root if your custom boot scripts run before the OS boots.

Substratum is completely different. It requires Magisk because it works after boot.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RenderBroken:
Re-enable touchboost and add the boost freq back to cpu4 and see what smoothness really is. It was way too consistently smooth so intoned down the default settings a bit.

USB fast charge, maybe. Just need to check the coding over. Wake lock blocking, no. Almost always, the cause for abusive wake locks are due to crappy apps. So adding wake lock blocking just hides a side effect of a bigger problem and and allows bad behavior. From the app and by the user.

Not at the moment. I am a still working out different setups that can be possible. Already, the default settings are pretty conservative. What more would you like to do? Just curious.

Just a quick observation. Bluetooth volume is severely impacted for some reason. At max, it's about the same level as 50% on stock. As a test, I rebooted to recovery, restored boot, flashed Magisk and booted up. There is a lot more steps to max volume on the stock kernel.

I am by no means complaining. I'm simply reporting my findings. Can anyone else test and confirm this on OOS 9.0.3? It could be a problem unique to my device. I have no sound mods installed, as the built-in Dirac tuner suits my needs adequately. I even toggled the tuner to see if that was the cause but the volume remained low either way while on RZ.
