Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this kernel before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot. From all my HEART

​

I decided to share my personal custom kernel. The main reason I started developing this kernel is to balance *performance / battery* and also add features. I believe I have included most of the usually requested features.

This Kernel is based on Eamon [Endurance Kernel] but it have major or extensive changes that cannot be called Endurance at all... From Now On... it is called

[THEBOSS-Zeus Kernel]

Intro

​

All kind of kernel optimization and speed and battery life… combination of All In One Kernel-AIO! Chosen carefully and precisely… collected and optimized specifically for our beloved Note 9 (N960F/FD) with a touch of love & passion…

Appreciation and Credits-VIP

​

Thanks for the help from my friend [MENTION=3344306]tike[/MENTION]420 who helped me and motivated me to push N9 kernel development forward.. he was the one who is testing my kernels and also he is the one who wanted to build TWRP with F2FS support but we got into issues.. but he was the one who also guided me for F2FS related source codes and alot of things too!

Also we are the first who brought F2FS to our beloved device Note9 before posting it in XDA Forums.. if we wasn’t here.. no body will ever do it or even think about it due to misconception & misinformation that most developers realizes which is 5 words [It is not worth it] well.. we proved them wrong and other kernel developers got interested and included it into there own kernel too! :cool:

So.. We started the spark.. We started the fire! :highfive::fingers-crossed:

Kernel Features:-

Fully Supports F2FS to ./data & ./cache partitions

F2FS Tweaks further improving performance without sacrificing instabilities

Use CONFIG_HZ = 300

- This changes context switching interval from 4ms to 3.33ms

- Pixel used this for years and Google recommends other vendors to do the same for fewer jitters

Disabled vaultkeeper

Disabled bunch of security options that proved through my experience that causes overhead or performance degradation in general usage or operations

Disabled Unnecessary option or features

Undervolted GPU more across all frequencies

Optimized & Cleaned Code [Using my own method]

Improved & Optimized CPU idle power consumption

Removed all kinds of logging , debugging, tracing,etc…

GPU OC up to 775Mhz[Customized Voltage] (Might be unstable if G3D —-ASV value under 4!!)

[You Have Been Warned]

GPU decreased minimum frequency to 150Mhz

OC CPU Big to 2.9Ghz and Small to 2Ghz

Customized CPU Buses to reflect real world usage and to decrease power consumption

Customized CPU frequency scaling for more battery life

This kernel made for Gaming on Mind.. so expect higher FPS performance [Depends on your ASV level]

Safety mechanism is not touched

All kind of options that degrade performance is disabled

Complied with the latest GCC Compiler 8.3 [Modded Customized Version Made By Me]

IO & TCP mostly all available & disabled some TCP that doesn’t make sense

Always updated to the latest Linux upstream version

There is soo much more.. I can’t remember…You tell me… :D

Simple LMK is implemented! We are the first kernel in the history of Note9 to have Simple LMK... lol even S9 ! :cool:

All other kernel developers couldn't implement Simple LMK for N9 kernels.. and they failed.. miserably too :( so.. THEBOSS-Zeus kernel coming for rescue and shed the light on Note9 users :) we did F2FS first kernel compatible in the history of Note9.. and guess what?!

we did it again with Simple LMK on Note9

;)

Installation Instructions

Download my kernel through the link... [You will find it under [ASSETS] section

Go into TWRP Recovery and Choose [Install]

Note:-

TWRP must have F2FS support.. can be found Here

Navigate to were your kernel is located

Choose [Install Image] Option

Choose [Boot] Partition

Install Magisk if you want root [Obviously Duh!] :D

Updates Frequency

To know how much I update this kernel.. just simply follow me and also I update it through my free time… so… expect some delays! Always check this link for latest stable releases :)

Notes

This kernel is for Oreo Only

I’m not responsible for anything… you should know what you are doing and if you don’t know what you are doing.. then you shouldn’t even root your smartphone on the first place!

Noob questions will be ignored here... join Telegram Group and ask.. we

might

help you.. everyone have a life.. :)

The commits in the source code is a mess... sorry about that.. but that is how I develop.. I am not using the traditional way like other developers kernel do :D If you want to use some of my commit..you gotta cherry-pick.. you gotta search for it and earn it.. that is how you learn.... the hard way.. I know :D

Enjoy… :fingers-crossed:

F.A.Q.

Can you add this or that...?

You can suggest kernel features but I won't do it immediately... I have life to live.. :)

How can I root?

If you asked this question.. you shouldn't considering rooting your phone at first place

Please update! When are you gonna update?!

On my free precious time.. don't ask..
