We've decided to follow suit of other channels and stop posting future Project Elixir builds due to the malicious code found inside their source code.

For the people that aren't aware, Elixir has code inside the OS that formats devices, SD cards and ESIM's on users devices who switch a setting in ADB, which toggles on their "exclusive" features, that are meant for Patreon supporters. We do not support such practices for securing code as it is highly immoral and borderline illegal.

Despite their claims of removal of such code, they have breached our (and others', for example XDA is closing Elixir threads) trust and we will not promote such software as we're unsure what they will do next to "protect" their code.

This decision is effective from now on until specified.

• Backport Schedutil, DL, RT, CFS schedulers from mainline Linux 6.9 (.pain.)
• New 'Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First (EEVDF)' scheduling algorithm. More info: https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/
• Return an actual resolved CPU frequencies in Schedutil to minimize lock contention on non-fast-switching system. (Google bruh moment)
"In 2017, Google decided to use their decade-old CPUfreq driver with a deprecated CPUfreq target callback that ALWAYS returns unresolved CPU frequencies to Schedutil. This breaks Schedutil logic on non-fast switching CPUfreq drivers, forcing it to ALWAYS create redundant kernel threads queuing for the same mutex lock causing a bottleneck (Lock Contention). As a result, the CPUs cannot change frequencies fast enough to reflect any sudden workload changes. Fix it fr"
• Capacity Aware Superset Scheduler (CASS) by Kerneltoast (Sultan)
• Make CPUset config compliant with CASS logic
• Backport sofirq and threaded NAPI (improve network performance?)
• Disable boosting (Schedtune, CPUfreq, Devfreq)
• WALT and Schedtune cleanups. Place a dummy to keep userspace sane
• Backport thermal pressure and PELT thermal_load_avg. (Scheduler now takes CPU temperature pressure into account)
• CPUidle: disable TEO. uses QCOM governor with WFI only during idle
• CPUidle: Use nanoseconds as the unit of time. (Avoid integer division overhead inside the hottest path in the kernel)
• dtsi: REVERT "Update temperature threshold limits for EA for 8998/660/630" (braindead CAF moment)
• dtsi: Update energy model. Remove inefficient frequencies
• dtsi: change CPU cluster efficiency/idle cost based on "Interrupt storm fixed" freqbench result.
• dtsi: Set new CPUidle latency, timing values reflecting the upstream
• Disable tracing of CPUidle and KGSL driver
• KGSL: Wake GPU upon receiving an ioctl
• ZSTD backport for Zram (default is still LZ4 though)
• Block userspace 'msm_irqbalance' and use Sbalance by Kerneltoast (Sultan).
• Memory management: disable speculative page fault
• Futex, Binder, BPF backport

Notes:
• Android 14 release. For Android 13 and below, choose Repartitioned or Non-Repartitioned version accordingly.
• Compiled with Clang 18.1.3 (ThinLTO + Polly + DCE + O3)
• Test: boots on Pixelbuilds (A14), Lineage 20 (A13 non-repartitioned), Pixel Experience 12.1 (A12 repartitioned. Thank you @guruusr for testing)
• [ other things I forgot goes here ]

New Year, New Us? #BlogHey people, happy 2024 but we are one year older. I don't think we need to mention but we had been pretty much inactive on the maintenance of the channels over here. Sometines, for weeks, you would just be receiving LineageOS weekly update posts which are pretty much automated.

We, as a human, know that life is complicated and there are a ton of things to do, which applied for us too. It would be great to be notified of all custom ROM releases by the communities in one place, we really wanted to get there too.

For all these times, there seem to be a lot of inconsistency happening. If you hopped across multiple ROMs, then you had realised the default wallpaper doesn't match the one we put up on the banner, for some at least. We just don't actually have the time to just go and check up on the repository tree every time, do we?

Anyway, I personally fixed that last month, and hopefully over the coming time, we will try to avoid all these issues. Another thing we hope to get it right would be the update post itself, which sometimes got delayed for up to a month before reaching to the channel itself.

The only feasible way to solve this, is that someone has to be a "24/7 robot checker" across channels & forums so that we won't miss out an update. This is impossible as we know, but we will do whatever we can to keep it up. It would be great if someone could lend us a hand though. Thanks for your understanding.
