[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Mr.FREE_Bird:
Hello,

I think whoever informed you about flashing kernels didn't exactly know what he or she was talking about. If you flash a kernel via EXKM or FMK you do the same thing as flashing via TWRP, you modify or overwrite the stock kernel/boot.img.

Beside that most often there won't be any issues with WiFi if you take your time to do things properly and if you do your research so you know what you are doing. WiFi issues or often caused by user errors, people who are lazy and flash and custom kernel made for a OOS based system while they run a custom ROM for as an example.

I would advise to flash this kernel via TWRP because that has never gave me any problems. The flashing process is also very simple. Download the kernel, boot up TWRP, make sure you install Magisk before installing the kernel, if you have Magisk installed already you can proceed to the last step, flash the kernel and reboot to system. That's it.

Reverting back to the stock kernel is pretty easy too, you could take a backup of the stock kernel with TWRP or download the stock boot.img which you can restore with TWRP, you can find the stock boot.img in the OP on this thread: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-1-5-ota-oneplus-6-t3794232. I can't give you any advice on flashing kernels via EXKM or FMK because I never do so.

Hopefully this clears some things up for you.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kjslabber:
If you use EXKM just do a backup of your present kernel in the TOOLS menu. It creates a backup in your Elemental folder in internel storage. It's an .IMG file so if you choose to revert back from twrp you can still do so. Or reflash thru EXKM.

Thanks for your hard work
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] The_Anomalist:
I have not come across any other kernel yet that provided as much stability and battery life. The rest are a joke including stock.

maybe it's a stupid question, but if I want to go back to stock OOS kernel for whatever reason, how would I do it?

And after flashing update what if i have to update my device to latest version of oos as i don't have root only twrp and custom kernel ..

Pls guys help me with my query
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Duvel999:
Update to latest version by TWRP method of Post 3 of the latest OOS topic.

It's so easy

Thanks for the update to this awesome kernel!!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zickler_malta:
best version of this kernel since we've been on A10 by quite a margin. probably as good as the legendary 0930 version from Pie. idle drain is insanely good and for me thats more important than SoT. thanks [MENTION=1795993]kristofpetho[/MENTION], well done and keep safe.

How about a sample screenshot?

Can you discard the battery usage?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zickler_malta:
I'll try and get some screenshots before I go to bed. Personally all I care for is that the battery gets me through the day with ease. It gets disconnected at 7am and gets re-plugged at 1am the following day and recently I've been going to bed with insane battery levels (50%-60%) on this latest version.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Arkmars20:
I agree. From full charge I'm averaging 2 days usage with latest Omega on my 6T. Mostly using Bluetooth during the day but I've definitely noticed an improvement on battery life over previous build. Omega is responsive and smooth and to me, that's what's paramount with any kernel.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lilbrat:
Now not picking on you or the Dev’s work as I've been following this thread for sometime now and I get a good laugh from time to time .. but you see all these, wow this is the best kernel ever...ect.. very time a new version comes out yet go look back a few 100 pages and look at the postings they either post a pic with last recharge, SOT yet minimal app usage.. but what I fine funny are the posting of these pics with nothing to back up what their trying to prove... I mean there no pictures of the kernel they were using before like the stock one or even the last version on this one..and what their usage was with it before they changed but what's really good look at the pics that do provide some app usage notice it's just mostly web browsing and basic phone apps, there no gaming going on , Facebook, Whatsapp, YouTube much less any Google maps or folks playing music... Hell I can charge mine on the stock kernel and not use it and go wow.. lol
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] francescotrevisan3:
Hi, I've just flashed the "TWRP 3.3.1-32 Q Unofficial by mauronofrio" using the method "Install Recovery Ramdisk" in my Oneplus 6t with OOS 10.3.2 stock, it went all fine. Now I want to install magisk and the omega kernel, can someone help me? I have to reboot to twrp and flash magisk 20.3 or 19.4? I don't want soft bricks. Thank you guys

Edit:

I've flash magisk 20.3 and then the latest kernel and it went all fine
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zickler_malta:
infact I hadn't posted in a long while since each update made little to no difference in my case. the last update though was noticeably better. personally I'm not after massive SOT since as you said, yes, if you use Google maps like I do and for a long time it will eat through your battery like there's no tomorrow. still, your post does little in the way of constructive criticism. just live and let live. no one uses their phone in the same way. if someone is happy with how their phone feels and performs and their great SOT, then so be it. if nothing, I'm grateful that someone uses their free time to give something to the community, free of charge.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lilbrat:
"Constructive criticism" pot calling the kettle black I see .. I wasn't picking on the Dev in any manner or the post I quoted .. As I stated.. And granted people do use their phones differently .. but if folks are going to say wow this is great, this is the best kernel ever..ect.. provide a bit substance to go with it like what did you compare it too..hell anyone can run a few apps and leave it sit on table the rest of the day...

Do I need to install Magisk before kernel flashing if I don't need or plan to root?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] aniketmule:
I have been trying same thing but device is going into recovery loop. I have 10.3.2 stock.

Steps.

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Flash magisk 20.3

3. Flash Omega kernel zip

Going into bootloop.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] spider451:
Try this

1. Recovery (i know you're there )

2. Flash Omega

3. Flash Magisk 20.3

Reboot
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Mr.FREE_Bird:
I don't think any of the features included in this kernel depend on Magisk so I think you can flash this kernel without having Magisk installed.

(If I am wrong about this, please correct and enlighten me)
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DaOldMan:
You can't use a custom kernel without rooting :). Just installing this kernel means you have root, if just twrp (which counts as having root of course) or twrp + magisk or just magisk .... all work. Without root how do you plan to install the kernel ?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cultofluna:
Root is not mandatory to flash a kernel ..

Unlocked bootloader and twrp
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] lilbrat:
If I remember correctly you don't need twrp either, just unlock the bootloader and adb/ fastboot...
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kristofpetho:
New release!

Changelog:

- CFQ is now the default I/O scheduler - after extensive testing we found that it is snappier when mutitasking, without any impact on battery life

- 128Kb readahead set in kernel (instead of stock 512Kb) - this goes nicely with CFQ to prevent thrashing

- Pulled in 3 critical fixes from CAF that address resource allocation within the kernel

- Fully upstreamed kernel to 4.9.217 - we found it rock stable in our tests, so for the sake of code updates and security, I'm including this in this release

- Removed WireGuard due to code clashed with the 4.9.y kernel line

Enjoy!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] °Washy:
Sorry for my English but does the last statement mean that wireguard is no longer supported?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] faybarn:
Would also like some clarification on this please before I update to latest as I use wireguard and it's been working brilliant on my current Omega Kernel.

Cheers and thank for the brilliant work.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cultofluna:
Indeed wireguard has been removed from latest omega
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DaOldMan:
Twrp is the king of root. No way to think otherwise. It breaks security totaly and you can even use it's build in file manager to delete system files. What else is root then that :D ?

Custom kernel is also root. You can use the kernel to circumvent the system in so many ways. People think root is only having a root manager that can allow super user access to applications. But to say the truth root is not part of android at all. Android is not build with root in mind. So any of those things are root: recovery, kernel or unlocked bootloader. Then you can decide how far you want to take your rooting.

I posted earlier about my issue transferring files from phone to computer and needing to force a reconnection after a period of time. Unsure if a kernel issue but it did just start happening after I flashed 1.18

Anyone else?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kristofpetho:
Nope, sorry. Everything is fine on my end...

Can you please flash latest Omega to see if that solves it?

There is a reason why OEMs (even Google) don't upstream without testing...
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Texan1:
OK can confirm it's happening with the Omega kernel now as well :(

Possibly something to do with the cable/laptop/setup then.

So are we thinking Omega or 1.18 is currently the best kernel version at the moment?

BTW [MENTION=1795993]kristofpetho[/MENTION] loving the regular updates, thank you, a lot of the other 6T kernel developers seem to have stalled in their output.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] VampireHeart:
I noticed that Read Ahead setting is 2048, there's a reason for this respect to previous setting at 512? Usually I set it to 1024, also scheduler was set to cfq, usually I set to noop, wich is the best setting?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kristofpetho:
Hey, I didn't touch any settings, so maybe OOS increased that in the last update...

I would recommend leaving it on cfq.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kristofpetho:
AOXP - the "safest" - it had all patches from upstream, ie. subsystem specter patches, fixes for ext4, memory leaks, etc

Omega - the guaranteed "stable"

It's your choice. :)
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] spaziomilano:
I tried the 2 and 2 are very good but for me I stay on the most up to date and the safest but it's my choice:D

Ok thanks for the info, I think that sure was a good reason to put that settings and you confirmed :D

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kristofpetho:
Most likely they haven't changed anything in the kernel for 9.0.13...
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Diexmax:
AOXP or OMEGA in .13 for battery?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] VampireHeart:

Apologies everyone. It seems that even though the upstreamed version seemed stable for 48 hours for me and the test group, things went sideways after that...

I personally experienced wifi connection issues, another tester bluetooth issues, and a few in the thread here reported reboots.

Changelog:

- Everything as previous release 2 days ago, except not upstreamed - so this is stock OnePlus 4.9.179

After 72 hours of using upstreamed version everything is fine, works smooth and faster, no issues with WiFi. I think all issues are related to installed custom soft or magisk modules. So I will stay on upstreamed version. Thanks to [MENTION=1795993]kristofpetho[/MENTION] for his hard work

I think he means that phones are not good for games--PC is good for games.

I just tried out "Lara Croft Go" and "Monument Valley II" (both are right now free on Play Store) and they both worked great.

When they launch, OP6T automatically enters Gaming Mode, so I think the kernel must be working properly.

Dude this kernel is awesome and I found it working pretty good on PixenOS, but vibration control and DT2W weren't working if you could add those, this would become a universal kernel and it would be great because I really wanna use custom ROMs.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TENlll423:
Dt2w works for me with this Kernel .. could be because you are on a different rom or something to do with you being on a different rom I don't know... But yeah threne is way above others I'm all about stability battery life and it even kicks a$$ with gaming...

With my final closing words I just want to tell y'all to stay healthy isolate if you can keep your family close and stay strong....
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] prakarshx:

Here's the rest...

The app called SD maid pro version is the best app out there I think and that's what I used to do all that......

there's easier ways of doing all this but I like it because it gives me something to do there's an app called total commander and the Google play store that you can actually delete system apps with that.... Hey private message me if you want that way we're not getting to far off topic ..
