Ok, I tried both and this implementation of BFQ definitely (for me anyway) is more fluid and generally better than CFQ. Im not sure if you are comparing general implementations of the 2 but for my kernels BFQ is superior. CFQ was replaced by BFQ further upstream (Linux 5.0+) and its getting all the current development.

Im always open to any suggested improvements though so never hesitate.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
v10.13 is up (both patched and unpatched). Removed and changed a couple things for added fluidity and less kernel overhead.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] MrPhilo:
Tbh it's based on the phones I've had before, every kernel developer like arter etc use cfq. So I based it on majority. But either works for me, I'm not the expert :)
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
This is a pretty updated, tweaked version of BFQ. I typically use noop as the overhead is so low but BFQ is really good also. In the end we're talking minimal difference between all of them, but I'm all about squeezing every drop of performance and efficiency possible. I'm still far from done especially with how far away we are from working ROMs. Sounds like we might not even get twrp for quite a while. Very frustrating and disappointing but everyone is working really hard at it so eventually..... Hopefully.

New build is up
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bildo:
For whatever reason I can only get this to boot via fastboot. It sends and writes to the device but just bootloops unless I actually do fastboot boot... I have not tried to do a clean flash yet. Figured see if anyone has any suggestions.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
You're on the newest version of stock?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bildo:
Yes
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
And are you saying you cant fastboot it or you can only fastboot it? And are you flashing this over v10.13 or some other kernel?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] daniel.1983:
No problem here after flashing it via elementalx app. Great kernel with great battery life btw. Thanks for sharing with us!
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bildo:
I can write it via fastboot but when I reboot it loops.

Only way I get past boot screen is if I "fastboot boot" the image.

I flashed over 10.13 which was acting weird too for some reason. It was doing the same thing.

I'm pretty sure it would be resolved if I just clear everything and start fresh. I'm going to try that this weekend.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] I_am_Groot!:
I've flashed v10.14 via EXKM and it works fine on my Pixel 3a. "It's a bit snappier" is everything I can tell for now. Thank you for developing for the Pixel 3a (XL).

As the developer said, the kernel works perfectly fine on the 3a as well. Are there any information about a unified development section?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
If this works as is on the 3a Ill just open a thread there too. Almost everyone else is building these as flashable zips so I didnt want to post anything there until I knew it would work for both.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Just FYI, latest build works fine with November security update. Next build will include any updates pushed to AOSP for it though.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
New build up....see changelog. This was built from November security patch source and I havent tried it on the October build so ymmv if flashing on a build prior to November security.

i just flashed the v10.15 and under android version it says v10.14 ? anyone else have this. Thanks

Thanks for this kernel. Been super smooth and battery has been as good, if not better than stock. Only been on it for a few days now, so can't say definitively. Just out of curiosity, how is the ROM development going?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Slow. 10 is so different I'm not sure how long before a proper custom ROM for these devices will be out.

And yeah, battery life is pretty good indeed ?

Anyone interested in (or willing to) flash and test kernels prior to releases please PM me. I can always use people to help especially as I start looking at more experimental changes/optimizations.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hauckk@sfreserves.org:
so i test flashed then actually flashed mvk kernel 10.17 it booted up just fine then i patched kernel with magisk then test flashed and then flashed for real and happy to say magisk patched mvk kernel boots on november patch kernel 10.17

Edit magisk patched kernel is on afh just overlooked it the first time I was there :eek:
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
New build up. Substantial changes on this one.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] a1234kitkit:
support Havoc-OS??
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
No idea. I don't build stuff to support other ROMs. I would say probably not. It's not good practice to mix and match stuff anyway. I'm pretty sure that rom has it's own custom kernel.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] borxnx:
My 3a XL should be arriving this week, and I'm stoked to give this kernel a spin! Thank you in advance for sharing your work with everyone. Once I get settled in I'll shoot you a PM if you're still looking for crash test dummies :highfive:
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thatsupnow:
Just flashed this with the December 5 OTA and it won't boot. Comes up with boot prepare error. Just thought I'd throw that out there before a bunch of other people try it and go into panic mode
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Im sure it doesnt. Each new security update needs the boot.img built from that. As soon as the source is out a compatible build will be out, with tons of other changes as well.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thatsupnow:
Gotcha kinda figured that.

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Ok, all merged. Anyone on December build want to test this? I probably won't update till tomorrow at least.

Installed latest Magisk-patched build about an hour ago. Working great so far!
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Good to hear. I try to test these for a day or two before I release them but things can always slip through, especially with all the stuff Im messing with.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] borxnx:
So I've had a dozen or so freeze-ups since Friday. They've all happened while playing music over BT, which I only mention because I only use BT in my truck and that's usually less than an hour per day.

Each time the screen would freeze, pressing the power button would turn the screen on and off and long pressing would bring up the power menu. No touch response nor volume rocker input was recognized, and the only thing I could do is hold the power button to force a restart.

It just happened again twice this morning -- once it froze and after hard rebooting, it rebooted again on its own a few minutes later.

I installed a logcat app on Friday to try to capture something, but nothing seemed to persist after the hard restart.

How can I get logs of this phenomenon that can help you figure out what's going on?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thatsupnow:
Hmm I've been running this kernel since it's test stage and I've never had those issues. I use Bluetooth ask the time too. I wonder if there's an app conflicting with something causing your issues??
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Im working on a total rebase for this kernel. If you are willing to help test now would be a good time to see if you are still afflicted by this issue. PM me if you have interest.

I just seen that the January update is ready. I'm using this kernel and I made up a stock boot img for the December build for magisk to restore. Am I in the clear to take this update without going into boot loop?? Update is only 19 MB

Nevermind it worked just fine, no bootloop
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] JimboTheDeveloper:
Hey man does your kernel support alt mode for usb c to hdmi screen sharing and high brightness mode?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Never heard of the first 2 but if you have commits (or a kernel that has them I can look at adding them. HBM causes UI crashes so unless someone has a fix, no thats not included. As I stated in the OP this isnt a kernel about a bunch of features and options. Its about maximum performance and efficiency. That said, if a feature is useful to me or doesnt compromise my main goals then I'll usually add them.

Everything this kernel includes is stated on the changelog and always will be.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] JimboTheDeveloper:
Alt mode is the ability for you phone to transfer video through usbc to hdmi.It seems that google removes it from their official kernel as was pointed out by Mishaal Rahman one of the main devs that i follow (https://www.slashgear.com/pixel-4-usb-c-video-output-exists-but-is-disabled-in-source-code-03598259/).I would love to connect the pixel to any screen via cable and use it as a desktop.Some kernels have it but i dont know if pixel 3a kernels do yet that is why i was searching for a kernelsthat have useful features to me.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Find me a 4.9 kernel that has this and Ill see what I can do. No idea how I would test it though.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] JimboTheDeveloper:
Hey man since im not a dev i dont really get what you mean with 4.9 kernel but i will be happy to help as much as i can if i had more info
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Hmmm, JimboTheDeveloper not a dev........ ;)

A kernel that uses the same Linux 4.9 source as this. That commit was for the Pixel 4 which has this support natively. I dont think this device does so its more than just re-enabling it. This is nothing Ill ever use so Im not going to spend any time looking into it. If this is possible and simple enough to do Ill consider it.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] JimboTheDeveloper:
XD im a game dev dude,i usually work with 3d models colliders and shaders. Not an android dev tho.As i remember it was a magisk mod for pie but for android 10 there is no mod yet.Anyway thanks im gonna search for other kernels and see if any android dev has implement it.

Does the kernel 10.19 work on January OTA
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
No idea. v10.20 will be out soon and is a complete redo from fresh source. January update was pretty small though so my guess is it would work fine. I havent been on 10.19 for a good while now though.

:svetius:
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
New build time. I just spent the last month rebasing and rebuilding this. Everything was rethought, tested, and only kept if it objectively and subjectively improved either performance or efficiency. This is up to date with the latest AOSP and Linux kernel sources. This is built off January security but "should" work on older builds as well.

See changelog for changes and enjoy.

I'm using mvk 10.20 magisk patched kernel on January stock q os

I'm having an issue where when my phone is on night mode and the brightness is like less than 20% low my screen has a red discoloration but it does show up in a screenshot so idk if my screen is damaged or if it's a kernel problem:confused:

Ot maybe time for an RMA contact Google for a warranty replacement?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Do you have this same issue on v10.19?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hecksagon:
Yes, but to a lesser degree. What appears to be happening is your kernel allows the screen brightness to go a lot lower than stock. Verified this by running .19 and .20 and then switching to stock in a dark room. Your kernel gets quite a bit dimmer. Unfortunately the panel isn't capable of going that low. Once you adjust the brightness below a certain point the screen can't physically get dimmer so you start to lose detail as the various dark shades of color clip (appear the same) when they reach the minimum brightness of the panel. This is known as "black crushing" because it's typically only an issue with deep shades of gray, but it can still happen to colors as well.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Oh, I know Im allowing it to get lower than stock. Stock brightness is way too high for using in a dark room. You can certainly turn backlight dimmer off using a kernel app if you dont like it.

I'll also raise the min a little for v10.21 as well. A minimum brightness of 1 is a bit too low. 3-4 should be sufficiently dim without being unusable.

I had one freeze leading to forced reboot but am not currently on mvk as testing out stock again. It won't get me the 11 hours mvk claims but am getting a solid 7 hours and 2 days between charges on rooted stock and for now that's good enough
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thatsupnow:
The 11 hours screen time is real because I've hit that too almost 12
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] adm1jtg:
Oh i didn't mean it like that, simply saying 7 is enough for me atm as i did have that one random lockup, then forced reboot.

And admittedly i have not tested mvk all that much was just answering op if anyone else has had issues like that.

Update:

just tested further, no reboots or freezes at all but with my usage patterns (light) not seeing much difference over stock. Still getting about 2 days and 6-7 hours sot. Are those of you getting 11 hours more what i would call power users, and with the 11 hours how long between charges? I would assume not a full 2 days but that's why i an asking... I just don't know

:DJust returning to the Google devices world! Everything working extremely fast and smooth on this device, i totally forgot about how fast an d clean this devices can perform. Thanks a lot for this kernel
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
Not 2 full days, no. With 2 days I get between 8-9 SOT. The ~11 hr SOT is typically 24-30 hrs uptime.

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] adm1jtg:
I have a friend running it, he said it's very stable but really no front facing changes...i guess all sdk stuff..

Meaning not much benefit to upgrade atm for the average user. Just my opinion

Sounds good, thanks. Ill probably flash it this weekend and see what I think.

Well looking at the March update looks like the only kernel changes were to upstream to .200 which i think you already did with yours.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
March update is fairly significant. I wouldnt flash the current kernel over it. I did and while it appeared to work correctly I woke up this morning faced with the phone at the bootloader with the "device is corrupted" message. I ended up having to completely wipe everything and clean flash the March image again.

Im working on a new build now but will need a day or so to test before release.

Ok, v10.22 is up. This is a much improved, simplified build vs 10.21.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech core:
Can anyone help or atleast explain what is this state i do know that it is some sort of emergency mode for smartphones but the phone is stuck in this state for 2 weeks with no detection in odin software only i see this in the device manager.

I have seen some unbrick threads that suggests me to use the sd card method to unbrick the phone but no matter what i try with button combinations or even putting in the freezer the phone would not go into download mode or even boot up.

So my main question is the SOC of this phone is dead p.s this is what i suppose

Or i am dumb or missing something

p.s The phone does turn on at some point if i leave it overnight but for the past 2 weeks even this is not happening even after removing the battery.

Your help would be apprieciated

I recently got the Note 10 plus and when I tried to use my custom notification sounds they don't show up any longer like they did on my previous S10 plus. I've downloaded them and then copied and pasted them to the internal notification folder as well as the ring tone folder but they don't show up to be used for messages or gmail for example.
