[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Mister.GN:
This is the only kernel that fixes random ghost touches on my pocophone f1's status bar, but in exchange it freezes screen touch a lot. Performance is good as well as battery life but the screen freezing bothers me alot. Anyway, good kernel among others. Gonna wait for the next release. :)

No. No overclock.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BentMetal:
You know, I had never tried to change to F2FS before because I didn't think it would make much of a difference. Yesterday I decided to download this kernel and the suplimental files and give it a whirl.

I immediately noticed the speed difference! Now I ask myself why I didn't do this sooner.

Are the additional files (f2fs tools, fstab and optimizer), necessary for other kernels which support F2FS, or are these specific to this kernel? I only ask because the other kernels don't offer these files. Just curious.

Anyway, great job [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Martensite:
Once you format /data to f2fs, tools and optimizer aren't needed anymore if you're gonna stick to f2fs.

f2fs_fstab.zip modifies vendor/etc/fstab.qcom to let your device recognize that /data is using f2fs.

So, you will need to flash f2fs_fstab everytime you update vendor/firmware.

Bad english, sorry for that.

r7 is up and it's a major update.

Thanks for the internal Telegram testers for testing about 20 different kernel builds.

r7

Linux v4.9.186 merged

LA.UM.7.3.r1-07900-sdm845.0 merged

LE.UM.3.2.1-00910-SDX24 merged

Faulty Low Memory Killer fixed to work better and resolve wake-up delays

Google Assistant Voice Match fixed

HDR handling fixed

Focaltech firmware updated to 9.6.20

General scheduler improvements backported

Virtual memory allocator performance improved

Task scheduler debugging disabled properly for lower overheads

Many parts of the kernel converted to use hotplug state machine

WireGuard updated to 20190702

Bunch of memory allocations from various subsystems were reworked to perform much better (thanks to Sultan) (total of 46 patches)

Debugging features disabled for Adreno GPU drivers to improve performance

Rewritten IOMMU by Sultan reverted to resolve screen flickerings

Switched to zswap/vnswap approach

- This was done since vast majority of Poco F1 users are using 6GB RAM variant

- Ditched conventional zram swap approach and taken zswap+vnswap for more efficient memory operations

- Backported zsmalloc memory allocator from mainline

- Backported zswap compressed page cache from mainline

- Samsung's Galaxy S9 memory modifications merged for better swapping efficiency tuned for Android

HDR support lost!

Viewing HDR videos on R7 or R8 looks absolutely not the way it should work. The colours get completely messed up, and stay that way till you reboot.

On R6, the colours would be alright as long as you were watching HDR content, and only after that would they become weird. But that was still a better method!

I hope HDR is fixed in an update. I would like to be able to view HDR videos without compromising on Google Assistant again ?

I haven't updated the vendor in a long time, that's true, but then the ROM I use (AOSIP Derpfest) has not been updated in a long time too...

Maybe it's the vendor? Idk. I'll get back to this when I update it. Wouldn't want to blame Arter for something that's someone else's fault. All I know for now is that HDR is okay with R6, but not after that.

PS - yes people, Poco F1 does support HDR, and yes it does look different no matter how cheap the screen is, and no its not just contrast punched up to the max (if everything is working fine, that is).
