Have huge Idle battery drain while device is in sleep ? [Updated] - Xperia Z4/Z3+ General

Hi everyone,
I recently bought this phone and started using with custom kernel (Androplus and zach) which resulted in huge battery drain in idle like 1%/h. Then I tried everything like amplify, greenfly etc., but still i was not able to solve because there is battery usage which is not accounted in chart. After researching and I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-...deep-sleep-t3382145/post67567755#post67567755 where users from Z5 also had same issues because we are using same custom kernels and they found the fix by using stock kernel using beta8 kernel repack tool. I tried using my kernel and it worked as I lost only 1% for 12 hours. So if any one is facing battery drain issues with custom kernels then switch to stock kernel using beta8 patch. Seems like sony kernel is aggressive with core control and driver management which is needed for idle batter drain while screen off.
I am not responsible for any damages by using these files, so do it at your own risk.
I'm attaching the stock kernel which I used in my mobile that is from .224 fw (India) Single sim patched with beta 8 for DM-Verity, Sony RIC, TWRP and DRM Fix.
For dual sim kernel, use file from the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67656992&postcount=18
For rooting(2.74beta), flash this in TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
For Xposed(ARM64-SDK 23), flash this in TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
For Xperia X UI, flash this in TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67326197&postcount=66
And wipe Dalvik and cache before then reboot.
UPDATE: Added my edited files used to apply CPU tweaks (cores down clocked to 0.9 and 1.2ghz, two core disabled, tweaked cpu governor, power and others mods) and these files located in etc folder. Replace them and set correct permissions then reboot.
UPDATE2: Zach's custom kernel has been updated with the beta8 patch in v1.2.9 which in my tests also improved idle battery drain from 1%/h to 0.5%/h. So if anyone want to use some advanced features then you can use this kerne as daily driver : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...el-zachs-kernel-playground-z4-z3-wip-t3404587
And another custom kernel AndroPlus has not got this patch and developer has abandoned it due to Zach's kernel features are better and he his busy, so don't use that kernel anymore if you want better battery.
Hope my thread helps some and if it did then please don't forget to say thanks.

Nice.... that ironie^^

Huh. I've had this problem too, never thought this would be a solution. Gotta try it out.

I had this problem, but not anymore. What I did to fix the issue was to use another cpu governor, I'm using Alucard right now, with greenify and naptime. Workes fine now, gets around 3 hr screen on time, what are you getting? I want to try your kernel out, but I've got a lot of problems with overheating, so I'm underclocking the Alucard kernel, which I think is a battery optimization governor, or a optimization governor, don't remember which one.
How would you recommend me proceed? I've tried the set cpu app for underclocking the stock governors and that did not work very well..
Thanks in advance!

Does this work with the Dual Version?

I get 6+ SOT with my setup minimum and have no heat issues. This is what I have:
Underclocked CPU to 960 little and 1248 big (work fine without under clock also due to my governor, but I wanted to extract more juice). Use Kernel auditor app for this instead setcpu.
Using an optimized cpu governor of interactive based on Heimdell governor script I found
Disabled 2 cores of little and big
Changed GPU governor to simpleondemand
Let me know if you need info.

Its from single sim version, so mostly not. If you want dual sim then extract your stock kernel and use the script from here to patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

So you Are using a non standard governor? I would like to copy your setup and how did you "install" or activate your governor?

Nope. My kernel is from Single SIm. Read back few posts where I have mentioned how to patch your dual sim kernel or get me your kernel.elf file from your ftf or mobile so I can patch it.

I'm interested to see what differences it will have, fingers crossed for something special
all its seems to have added was the hotspot feature. nothing has changed otherwise.

Software itself is tested and A-OK. Now finalising the upgrade process for all users and will contact them by end of May.
^POB
yup, I got the same OTA update yesterday here in kuwait. It added hotspot and seems to have some other minor updates. Not sure what they are, but the google calendar icon updated if that's worth anything.
In any case, kernel version for me is 2.6.32.9
seems they may have fixed the issue in regards to sound clarity. Every call i have made today has commented on how clear the line is, as to what it has normally been in the past..
What is the version number?
More info on this OTA please! Has anyone been able to isolate it?
Okay some info..
This will update to B136 (same as B160). They have made some kernel changes but have not published the changed source as far as I know, so you're either stuck with their kernel or a modified one with overclocking etc.
The only thing I know for sure that has been changed is the camera driver, which honestly isn't a significant improvement. It still benchmarks around 1500 in quadrant pro, and although not tested I would assume similar battery life etc.
I will be releasing a package soon to use this kernel on B160 should people wish to try it.

OP posted that people commenting on improved clarity when he call them. This is very interesting to me as people on the other end are forever asking me to repeat. So would this be in the kernel? Would this mean I would lose over-clock if I used this new kernel provided by you?
As I said above, you will lose overclocking and other tweaks (ie BFQ I/O Scheduler and Smartass CPU governor).

root is not related to kernel, just do z4root if the ROM is not rooted by default.
Root is not related to the kernel but it is related to boot image, so if you use the package in the B160 thread then you will still have root and won't need to use Z4.
Thanks, all I needed to know. I switched over form samsung where you do need a custom kernel for root. Starting to like this phone more and more
Just start the OTA update from 2degreesmobile NZ

Savie's Kernel compatibility with Data2SD of Kurutsogi

Good day!
Sir Savie and Sir Kurutsogi I would like to ask regarding kernel. By the way I am using stock rom DXLF1 and with Data2SD of Kurutsogi http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622052 wherein my sd card has ext3 partition and the internal memory was changed from 290mb to 1gb.
My questions are:
1. If I will use the kernel of Savie (which was used in Icecream Bread rom and EVO X2 rom), will my current Data2SD will still work? If possible where can I get the boot.img file of Savies kernel? Also Sir Savie I was confused when I was reading you thread on kernel, Sir Savie can I get a link from you on the kernel that was used in Icecream Bread rom and Evo X2 rom?
2. If I have installed your kernel Sir Savie, is there a need to install app like the Nofrills CPU or CPU tuner in order to fully used the functions of kernel like changing the governors, i/o sched and frequencies? Or in you kernel, the said apps (CPU Tuner etc.) is already included and once your kernel is installed, all is done?
3. For my usage of SGY wherein, I have the Ram Manager Pro app, Start Up Auditor app, will it still be needed once I used your kernel Sir Savie? What settings should i used in the governors, i/o sched and frequencies if I only used my phone only for texting, calling, playing games (some HD games like assassins creed) fpse emulator, mp3 listening? Currently now my phone can get 88 to 98 mb RAM usage whenever I used the Easy task killer during making my phone iddle? Will this also possible when using Sir Savies kernel?
Sir Savie and Sir Kurutsogi hoping for your response and I would like to apologize to other XDA members for my questions and hoping for your kind understanding.
Thank you
am I dreaming? (lol)
EDIT: please forgive me. I never saw a question addressed politely like this one
1. if you're using my data2sd kernel, then the answer is no. you still can use this data2sd by creating a script in init.d folder. plz check additional stuff section in that thread. you don't need to clean your sdext partition. follow the step 1-4, reboot, done. this method have several bug, I hope you understand with the risk.
2. I don't know if savie include the app inside the zip file. you need to install them manually. nofrills is commonly enough for the govs n iosched modification. no need to use cpu tuner if you already have nofrills.
3. less ram doesn't always give good performance in android system. using a tweak is a lot better than clear the ram manually since it consume your battery a lot. the explanation is quite long. try to google it a lil bit.

Sir Kurotsugi thank you for your response. My apology for the polite posting. Its just I am new comer here and want to learn a lot from you experts.
Sir in your reply in question #1, it only means that data2sd can be used in savies kernel by creating script init.d folder but it results to bugs. So would it be best if I use savies kernel just used link2sd in order to save the 290 mb internal memory?
Lastly Sir in question #3 it is better to use custom kernel to achieve better ram management and battery used instead of my stock apps ram mgr pro start up auditor and easy task killer?
Sir please kindly reply if I got your advises correctly.
Thank you
savie's kernel support a lot of similar method like a2sd++, amarullz, sem, etc. you can try to use my akuro if you lil bit lazy to google it. for the ram question stuff, you can read this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767363&page=120

What kernels of yours is the best to use Sir Savie from the three?
Sir Savie, do I still need the boot.img file in your kernels in order that the data2sd to work? Because the boot.img file that I have right now is from Sir Kuro. Sir please kindly include the boot img file for the three kernels which I will choose from.

Sir Savie thank you for your response. I just check the three kernel of yours and choose the best according to my preference. Sir sorry for my noob question when you say minimalist it means just a simple kernel that can improve battery and ram usage?
I will just install your kernel through cwm and if I got problem regarding the data2sd, I will just ask question from you.

Sir Savie i have already prepared the back up files for tomorrow I will gonna be installing your kernel. Sir please forgive me I have to ask this noob question? What do you mean by the SGYbiCWM.zip in your previous response below
For my kernel link just go to my thread in 1st post.. its zip file that can u install via cwm.. no need to put boot.img in /sdcard then use SGYbiCWM.zip
Sir I have downloaded your #60REV2 and #73REV and check it, i can find the SGYbicCWM.zip.
Also Sir Savie may I ask again, If I would be using a custom rom and your kernel, will this procedure be the best in order to avoid problems.
1. Flash first in chosen Stock ROM
2. Wipe data and dalvik cache
3. Install the custom rom
4. Install the savie kernel.
Sir hoping for your response and please forgive me If I have so many questions. Thank you for your support

Sir Savie i have already prepared the back up files for tomorrow I will gonna be installing your kernel. Sir please forgive me I have to ask this noob question? What do you mean by the SGYbiCWM.zip in your previous response below
For my kernel link just go to my thread in 1st post.. its zip file that can u install via cwm.. no need to put boot.img in /sdcard then use SGYbiCWM.zip

SGYbiCWM.zip is kernel flasher tools method from mai77 u can search coz its old thread but very usefull.. But my kernel is zip package and include that tools so u dont need it again but its very usefull tools if u wanna flash only boot.img file in /sdcard
Nandroid backup is must to reduce something bad.. Yupz u can use that method to install my kernel.. if u dont use custom rom.. after install stock rom u must root ur device then create /system/etc/init.d folder with rootexplorer application or similiar like that application..
Hope u understand with my bad english..
Enjoy ur experience to playing android.. dont worry with bootloop or softbrick coz we are here to help each other..

Thank you Sir Savie now I got. That mai77, I already got it before when I use the boot .img of Sir Kuro. Its good that I learned a lot from you Sir Savie
Sir I am now doing installation today. Sir please confirm the procedures below if I am doing it right provided I have all the back ups and nandroid back up. I will be installing a custom rom plus you kernel
1. Flash first in chosen Stock ROM
2. Wipe data and dalvik cache
3. Install the custom rom
4. Install the savie kernel using cwm.
Thank you for your usual support
If i use 2nd partition just format as ext3 dont use ext4/2 to safety in backup and restoring..
Thanks..

Good day!
Sir Savie, I have successfully installed you kernel #73REV together with rom Next to ICS by Avijit Ghosh82 in my SGY.
Sir I have some observations regarding your kernel and hoping for your comment or advise. Please see below.
1. When Installed your kernel, I followed everything on your thread wherein use CWM Skin 180, i mount the system, then do custom installation so I can add up other governors, other io scheds, bacem tweak, and all other items found in the custom installation window. Then began installing. After installation it displayed success but in the upper portion (I forgot the exact term) written with the count is displayed 0. Then after exiting the installation window it show up installation success savie in the CWM Skin 180 window. Then I reboot. After reboot, I checked the Settings and Info, in the kernel, it shows the old stock kernel. So i repeat the whole process again 2 times but still stock old kernel name display in the Settings.
What I did is that I do the whole process again but I do not mount the system in CWM. Then after installing and rebooting and checking again in the Settings, it showed up the the name of your kernel.
Sir Savie, is there any effect with what I did when I don't mount the system at CWM but it installed successfully and the name of your kernel appears in the Setting Menu- About the Phone menu? Please enlighten me.
2. Upon installation I noticed some of the governors and io sched in the CPU master is not showing up. So I read your thread again and see the something screw in #73REV kernel in you thread and followed step 2 installation wherein I downloaded and extracted the GovIO-tweak-1.zip then copy all the files in the modules then paste it on the /sdcard/.system-replacer/lib/modules/* then reboot. After I checked in CPU Master, there is some 3 or 4 governors lacking and io sched all are present.
Sir Savie, will there any problems arise if it lacks 3 or 4 governors?
3. Then I also notice in the main option of CPU Master is use max 312 min 156 then smartassv2 then tick the apply on boot then at the io sched I selected sio then apply. Whenever I shutdown then turn it on again, in the CPU Master it boot up the settings in the main menu i encoded which is max 312 min 156 then smartassv2 there i have no problem because CPU Master follows my setting. But in the io sched same scenario off then on SGY from my original setting sio it always choose deadline.
Sir Savie how can I make sio as the default selection whenever I turn off/on SGY?
4. In the CPU Master I dont see the option for changing the undervolting. Sir is it okay I I don't have the option for changing the volt and run the default volt in #73REV kernel which is -80mV?
5. I used Link 2sd because the data2sd of Sir Kuro doesn't work on your kernel then i link the CPU master in SD card. Sir Savie, will there be problems in terms of using the CPU Master when loading or changing governors or io sched?
Sir Savie my apologies If I have so many observation. Sir Savie hoping for your kind responses with my 5 questions.
Thank you

If u in 73rev so just make sure in recovery mode (cwm) u mount /system before install zip package like re-install savie73rev_kernel.zip..
Dont worry in count 0 coz its bugs from aroma..
To change other kernel put other kernel in /sdcard/boot.img then follow step in above but in custom installation choose other kernel..

RR 3.0.9 ROM: link to a MALI Patch (fix memory leak + new kernels)

As an quite user here in the forum, it is not allowed for me to share things in the development section.
Just want share a link, which patches RR 3.0.9 with the latest MALI drivers. Therefore for all people which can not wait for an update of rr 3.0.9 it is quite fine: memory leak fixed (had been very annoying because my phone got frozen after 3 days without reboot) and enables you to use the latest dorimax kernels >7.0 (fine battery + speed)
Found the patch in an german forum:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/custom-...ma-ota-resurrection-remix-jb-3-0-9-a-162.html
the patch itself can be downloaded under the link (thank the user rush85 in that other forum):
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzvcR7D2Mt5KQ1JLMXJDQmFzNkk
1) I flashed over rr 3.0.9.
2) wiped dalvic. wiped extweakts profiles in cwm
3) flashed dorimax 7.3 (mali)
4) to be sure, wiped again dalvic & extweaks profile again
5) reboot
and ready to go!
--> Much faster + reliable (memory fixed) + nice powersave
http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif
a personal question & comment
by the way a question:
does anybody knows how to directly get access to the developer thread?
I have not much time to post. But I'm a heavy linux user on my 3 desktop PCs since over 6 years. Know much about linux kernel tweaks, debugging and android.
But also one critic to S2 users:
I've followed the Galaxy ACE threads for the last year and must say, that there the "developer threads" are much cleaner! No noop with "how can I flash this" or "where do I find this and that" is disturbing the replies of testing by the community for clean feedback & input for the developer(s).
- Sorry for that, but the people should just post relevant things there to make it easy for the serious testers and developers.
So after this patch ,can i flash parandroid 2.21 which ri8 now does not support dual booting in siyah ???
no. that patch is only for the ressurection Rom in Version 3.0.9.
it has nothing do with other ROMs or versions. you would break it.
I don't know who actually developed that patch. but it is working fine. next RR ROM after 3.0.9 will nevertheless have the Mali driver patches included, as the sources will be updated.
so in summary: just for the impatient waiting users of RR ROM.
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda app-developers app
and just one thing I forgot in the first post: run also fix permissions in cwm after flashing the patch and kernel.
whilst waiting for a new RR release,
I'm now very happy with the performance and battery life of my s2! just bought ot 10 days ago to substitute my good old samsung ace 1.
Some hints for optimizing your s2
Just for because I want to know the experience of other people:
Did anybody tried that mali patch?
I'm running it since the first post here. My tips for an excellent battery life with good performance:
Remember I'm using the combination of RR 3.0.9 + mali patches + Dorimanx Kernel 7.3 (need the mali patches)
Make use of the extweaks settings to undervolt GPU (800 mV is ok for mine at low frequencies) and enable some sleeper mechanisms. I undervolt the CPU with the app cputuner (for all frequencies -50 mV; otherwise unstable for me). Because I'm a lazy person I automatically adjust the brightness via lightsensors (Velis Auto brightness app works fine; but also eats some small cpu time).

For improving deep sleep times:
[A] Additionally I found out that it is really wothfull to get a baseband matching RIL modem configuration to get over 95% deep sleep. A good tool to check/correct this is:
"GetRIL"
I deactivated also "fast dormancy" (I'm on O2 in germany) with the App:
"Fast Dormancy Toggle i9300"
[A] and really did the trick to get a high amount of deep sleep for me. Without I had just approx. 75% and now up to 98% in G2 mode.
Playstore Issues due dpi change:
If you get problems with app compability in playstore after you changed the dpi in build.prop, I recommend to search for the "multi dpi playstore" replacement here in XDA.
Last thing which is interessting: no use to lower the CPU >200 MHz. Why with a clockfrequency of 200 MHz the equinox CPU is at the best rate of calculation speed / powerconsumption. Therefore lower frequencies: lower energy but more time to finish tasks --> worse than 200 MHz.
An really good and technical/scientific investigation with hardware measurements of voltages and power consumptions is given in a german forum FACTS and MEASSUREMENTS agains wild speculations:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/samsung...80670-info-akkuverbraucher-des-galaxy-s2.html
Nice post, I will try this out and give some feedback. I'm still on rr 3.0.8 and dormanx 5.82 but I want to update

What are you browsing with? I had the same problem, but it is probably the browsers you are using. Are you using stock android browser? I used opera mini browser, and the page loads quite differently and gives you an option to download the zip file.
hi everybody. sorry hat i did not replied for a long time.
yes hat mali patch Form a Google drive must be downloaded by click in 'Datei' and then hit something linke download AS ZIP. unfortunately that forum is in German.... also the nice poeweconsumption measurements I posted a link for. maybe someone has the time to make it a viable in English for everybody.
you can flash the malipatch zip over a installed rr 3.0.9 by cwm. don't miss the wiping steps and fix permissions.
At the Moment I am on RR 3.0.9 + mal patch + dorimanx 7.4. a perfect combination for me.
by the way. I always activate in the developer options the 'disable hw overlay'.
feels smoother for me.
so let us hope that the next RR release will have the Mali patches inside. .... but until that release I already enjoy this combination. - until now no reboot had been necessary due to the old memory leak seems to be gone.

I similarly have much to share at times, but I guess you just have to post to post. It might explain why there are lots of irrelevant comments.
About your critic to S2 users, my guess is that the S2 is a lot more popular and hence you would have a lot more people asking questions. The upside is you have more developers making awesome stuff on it.
OH and about the patch, will try that later.

Call me old fashioned, but with things like firmware, roms and updates (not inly for a mobile, but other devices) I don't trust wireless. I always download serious things by desktop pc. There the download is quite fine with any browser. I used firefox. there is a screenshot attached.
But maybe this patch for 3.0.9 is not necessary, as we may get a new RR version this week. ? Let us hope the developer has some time after the the milestone release of the AOSP team is ready.
nice work!
can't wait for the next RR update

Here is a tuned interactive governor profile for the Asus zf2 ze551ml/ze550ml (1.8ghz version). It should work with custom kernels that provide interactive governor and kernel aduitor mod .
Full tune profile tunes CPU,GPU,I/O SCHEDULER,TCP CONGESTION ALGORITHM
Interactive tuned profile tunes the interactive governor.
Normal on demand returns back to default governor(use if you want to play demanding games for eg.).
Enjoy.
Instructions:
Download and extract the zip attached.
Copy the extracted profiles.json (using some root explorer)and paste it in /data/data/com.kerneladuitor.mod/files/ .
Restart KAM.
If KAM does not detect my profiles.json after pasting it in /data/data/com.kerneladuitor.mod/files/ run the following command from adb (Or Terminal) with root:
adb shell chmod 764 /data/data/com.kerneladuitor.mod/files/profiles.json
Remove <adb shell> for the command in Terminal.
IF The profiles still don't show Try this by @mclarence :
1)Rename the profiles.json (the one provided by me) file to something else (eg profiles_bak.json). Leave it in /data/data/com.kerneladiutor.mod/files/ folder.
2)Go into Kernel Adiutor (Or the modified version) and create a random profile, does not need to be anything specific.
3)Go back to /data/data/com.kerneladuitor.com/files/ folder and you should see another profiles.json appear.
4)Copy the contents of profiles.json of the one you renamed (eg profiles_bak.json)
Then paste it into the other profiles.json (created by Kernel Aduitor), delete everything inside of it.
IMP: ( Complete File Overwrite Works as Well)
Finally:
Restart Kernel Aduitor and it should appear in the profiles section.

Why is the zip so big?It installs KAM too? Is this for the stock kernel too? Mm or N also? Have you used my profiles for reference? Would just like to know.

Zip is NOT FLASHABLE!
Zip is big beacuse it has KAM inside.
I forgot to add credits for KAM. Will do it now.
This should work on any kernel with interactive governor(interactive governor doesn't depend on MM kernel or N kernel or on whether it's stock or its custom. This profile just fine tunes interactive governor tunables for better battery life AND equivalent performance. Do tell me if I am wrong!)
That being said, I should mention that it was tested on CM14.1/LINEAGE OS and it gave me 5.30+ hrs SOT on normal use without the performance hits that most battery saving governors have.
Yes your profiles and the post by @soniCron was the idea behind my profile. All credits to you guys!
What profile are you using? Are you using greenify too or not?
Another question. Is this tweak good also for standby?

I use full tuned. It tunes interactive, GPU,io SCHEDULER,etc.
Of you have you're own settings for other things like GPU etc, you can use tuned interactive to just get tuned inter active governor.
No,I don't use Greenify(I don't get my notifications on time because of it)
About standby; it doesn't do much for standby. But I hardly lose more than 1 or 2% an hour on cm14.1.

Thanks.
I see, so there is no solution now for 1-2% per hour battery drain, I think that sucks because when i was still using my ze550kl the battery doesn't drain that much in idle mode
Hi.
Using it now, seems really OK, I'll be back with impressions after 1 day of use. Thanks
Great!!!
After 4 hours, using the standard CM14 kernel. Really good.
Will this need to be reinstalled everytime the ROM is updated?

Yep.
Although not exactly if you just dirty flashed an update. Then you'll have to just enable the profile again thorough KAM.
Also maybe @say99 and @jrior001 would want to look into this?
Can this be included as default tuning for interactive in the builds?(or is it too much to ask. I don't know much about ROM development)

There hasn't been a single kernel or firmware for z00a that has better standby than this. 1-2%/hour drain just seems inevitable in z00a. Unless the creative and brilliant guys at lineage come up with something in the future maybe, who knows?
Given their commitment and how good cm14 and linos 14 turned out to be, I have high hopes.

I doubt that they would,. I'll wait till there's a flash and the settings/ enabling are remembered although I doubt this is feasible.

Thank you, saved my day. I'm a newbie here, can you explain what you might have done (for research purposes)? Thanks in Advance.

If it's dirty then no need. Clean flash requires reinstall obviously. It's not recommended to include hard-coded tuning into a governor. Anyways the settings are different for each model but the kernel we use is the same so not happening.

They are way ahead of you. Yesterday frameworks merged tighter system app management & all. Cmfm is doing a complete overhaul. It looks great now. & I'm going to do custom builds which are going to have even more tweaks.
Btw LinOS has merged some components of Blur from Xosp.
Here are some useful flashable files. The SU add on is for Roms based on LinOS to enable Native SU. The Lineage file manager should be compatible with any rom that has CMFM as default. Feel free to share. I take no credit. I didn't make this.

The file manager zip doesn't get flashed. Flash errors.
I installed it anyway by doing some stuff, but it still can't access SD card. Keeps flashing a toast that this operation requires root access.
But looks have improved. And so have features otherwise.

It need storage be a private app for sdcard access. I'll look into that.

H91810q KCAL kernel please....

Can someone who has knowledge on kernels inject KCAL on the 10q kernel please. All that's needed. I tried learning. To complicated for my bones.
i want this too
I will gladly pay for your efforts. No joke! Thanks again.
Just asking, why do you want this?

To use color control and get rid of the burn in the stock kernel gives. I like the stock kernel I'm fine with it in reference to performance. Just want to cure the screen with KCAL injected into it.

I'm starting to get the ghosting affect since I run my phone on maximum brightness all the time. How would kcal take care of that? I've read if you activate comfort view you can get rid of it but I don't like how it looks....

Not the same. It's a saturation issue.

Have you tried using CF Lumen to adjust the colors. It only does RGB channels but I've gotten my values to look pretty good to me and I don't notice any retention anymore with the settings I'm using.
Give them a shot and see.

I am attempting to do so now, it's compiling as I type this. Hopefully it will go smoothly without any errors.
I'm using the v10q sources from LG and copied the patch from USA-RedDragon's github.
The kernel compiled fine.
I have never repacked a boot image before, so not sure if I did that correctly. - Apparently it is working :good:
Also removed the root checker service.
Remember to flash root again afterwards.
Edit: I have added boot image for 10k as well, after request from @dimm0k

I used the kernel-dtb image, if that was the correct choice... it was the closest match in size of the old zImage.
Also removed the root checker service in ramdisk.
Remember to flash root again afterwards.
Edit: I assume the dtb image is the correct one as I don't see the device tree anywhere else. So I'll upload that as well in case anyone wants to repack their own boot.img
gz-image.zip is simply kernel without device tree blobs. Probably of no use to anyone.

This is great. I'll try it after work.

Just tried it, I had one major screw up and forgot to flash magisk and it force encrypted my device and i had to format my internal storage, but after a fresh flash with magisk this time the kernel seems to work right with kcal, thanks!

okay i extracted the zip and in twrp said install image and then selected boot and flashed magisk

Yep it works great thanks rctd and kcal just put that you have to extract the zip and in TWRP click image then the IMG and select boot and flash then flash magisk or Sunday bc I was confused at first.
Also the battery and smoothness seems much better then the weta kernel

Yes not everyone is aware of that option in twrp.
I pretty much just took the official sources from LG and added Kcal, nothing else, and it compiled flawlessly with google gcc 4.9 - I guess that something, is it not common for these android sources from certain companies to be botched or incomplete..?
Anyway. If anyone wants to use it in their ROM then that fine by me. @texasaggie1 or anyone else
@askermk2000 slightly off topic, but would you be able to also do this for the 10k kernel too or maybe provide some instructions on how to compile this to try on my own?

I'm downloading the 10k sources now - or can I use 10n ? I already have that, but maybe it's arb 1... seem to recall that 10n or 10o was arb1
