Kernvatore Angler v2.9

Changelog

• Timer frequency adjustment for gestures (may fix reported issues)
• Set swappiness to 0, even though we don't use it
• Fix lkconfig default option for wlan_rx wakelock control
• Enable toggling of input boost (touchboost) for those who are super crazy about battery
• Enable NTFS R/W support

Kernvatore Angler v2.8

Changelog

• Add power_efficient workqueue and enable by default
• Make the sysctl writable by root to avoid need for chmod on the node
• Update lkconfig script to include ability to modify new power_efficient workqueue sysctl and display current status

Kernvatore Angler v2.7

Changelog

• Support FauxSound control module
• Bring in sleep/wake gestures that should have been present from the beginning

Kernvatore Angler v2.6

Changelog

• Might be a good idea to have sound working. Guess I'll need to be more suspicious of soc changes in future upstream updates. Reverted one of the changes that broke sound input/output in the patch to 3.10.96.

Kernvatore Angler v2.5

WARNING. THIS BUILD HAS NO SOUND. USE 2.6 INSTEAD

Changelog

• Synced all upstream Linux kernel changes from 3.10.74 --> 3.10.104. SO MANY MERGE CONFLICTS.

Kernvatore Angler v2.4

OK FINE. YOU WIN. I'm now using AnyKernel2 to provide one single release supporting both stock and custom ROMs. This means your safest bet is to always reflash your stock kernel (or custom ROM) whenever doing upgrades from now on. If your Android version (or ROM version) hasn't been upgraded, you can safely flash any updates of my kernel over your existing without any special steps.

Also: I've removed the forcefdeorfbe and replaced it with encryptable so all the whiners who hate security can stay decrypted without first flashing SuperSU or PHH/Magisk, etc. I'm frankly tired of the complaints and constant bothering about it, so there. Enjoy, ya jerks <3

Boot images will no longer be provided, as they're created during the zip flash procedure by AnyKernel2 scripts + the included zImage-dtb

Changelog

• As noted above, we've moved away from packaging a custom ramdisk to using AnyKernel2 (big thanks to @osm0sis for this great utility).
• Kernel configuration changes to enable additional (de)compression formats for the ramdisk + AnyKernel2 finally fixes custom ROMs. Testing with two separate ROMs has confirmed this works as expected (PureNexus and Krexus were tested so far).
• Rudimentary F2FS support (warning: I haven't merged upstream stuff from newer kernels, so I can't guarantee it works perfectly - I use ext4 and can't test this)
• BIGGEST CHANGE: As also noted above, encryption is no longer mandatory. I'm tired of all the whiners complaining about how long it takes to boot when they're unencrypted and forget to flash SuperSU or some other thing that removes forceencrypt before booting

Kernvatore Angler v2.3

Changelog

• Synced the latest hwbinder changes from upstream Google repos

Custom ROMs

I've also created a secondary AnyKernel2 zip for custom ROM users, since some of these wacky ROMs you guys are using have stupidly insecure SELinux requirements, and it seems like a bad idea to introduce these changes for all users. The AnyKernel2 zip will be attached to this release after I can get some testers to verify it works properly, and it should allow any custom ROM to boot, but please report any issues in the XDA thread once you've had a change to test.

Kernvatore Angler v2.2

Changelog

• Synced all changes from upstream for January 2017 security patches
• Synced ramdisk changes from N4F26J boot image
• Removed supolicy --live patches, as there are probably quite a few people not using SuperSU. Injected the desired policy changes in the sepolicy binary.
• Synced other SELinux-related changes that may hopefully fix issues booting Pure Nexus. I don't use any non-stock ROMs, so I'll need someone to test it out, along with any other of their favorites.

Kernvatore Angler v2.1

This build and all future builds are only for 7.1.1 (NMF26F) and newer releases. Do not use this on 7.0 releases (NRD91P and earlier). This is your final warning.

Changelog

• Enable hwbinder domain and device nodes. Based on the Googlers, this should be more efficient than the current IPC namespaces.

Kernvatore Angler v1.5

Changelog

• Synced all changes from NBD91K security patch release (November 2016 patch level)
• Brought kernvatore_defconfig up to speed with all recent enhancements or bug fixes made in angler_defconfig
• Ramdisk changes synced from NBD91K (didn't make it into this release tag, but it's in the boot image)
