Hey
I will wait a little longer until I switch to 17.1. 
So far, the new kernel has worked perfectly.

I flashed the new kernel on my FP2 with LOS 17.1 and noticed no problems so far.
Am still in the process of setting up my most important apps on the device to check if everything works with 17.1

I recently switched to LOS 17.1 and I’m thankful it’s working fine. Only thing I observed without further investigation is that Wifi doesn’t look stable (like with LOS 16).I didn’t re-import old AP-settings, and have location scanning for Wifi and Bluetooth disabled, also HW-accel for Tethering.
Will the new kernel help in that area?
I dont think so, but please test it anyway.
Can you reproducible test wifi failures?
Chris
Same here.
I’ve tried with my most used apps and it’s all working so far. Also no problem using wifi.
I just did not yet have time to check phone calls or mobile data as there’s currently no sim in the phone.
I had a look (again), but I don’t see the info, please bear with me …
What benefit(s) does the newer kernel have compared to the older one?
Mainly: Trying to get closer to other msm8974 devices which have lineage support so that we can benefit from research of other maintainers and include easier bugfixes, backports and security fixes.

It’s a pleasure to have YOU (and others) support our beloved Fairphones , I’ll give this kernel a try later this week. Do you have a public repo, so interrested users can dig deeper into your work?
New kernel working also for me on LOS 17.1, thank you Chris 
I had to reinstall Magisk
EDIT: Not sure if this is because of the new kernel, but Magisk Hide seems now inefficient: even if enabled, my banking app and pokemngo is detecting rooted device… I’ll do some tests, because it was working before…

New kernel working fine here too. LOS 17.1 + opengapps + encrypted.
Many thanks for your hard work on this .
I refused to activate encryption, as I still hope for a recovery that is able to decrypt :).

We need more testers

I could try, but what are the consequences if it doesn’t work?? 
Can I just flash a TWRP Backup?
You can flash back the original one from the lineage official zip.

I just flashed the new boot image and will report back if anything strange or unexpected happens.
I have just pushed the kernel to the official FP2 images on lineage. Next nightly should have it. Thanks for testing. Let’s report on the official thread then.
