Testers wanted - newer kernel for FP2 - Lineage 16.0 and 17.1

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 :slight_smile:, 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 :smiley:
I had to reinstall Magisk :wink:
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… :frowning:

You can check the 1st post. It points to github now.

New kernel working fine here too. LOS 17.1 + opengapps + encrypted.
Many thanks for your hard work on this :slight_smile:.

I refused to activate encryption, as I still hope for a recovery that is able to decrypt :).

I could try, but what are the consequences if it doesn’t work?? :slight_smile:
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.
