Device Specific Changes:
- Etude kernel: Op.11 No.4
- Linux 4.9.267
- some upstream fixes of cpufreq_stats
- fixed an issue where the frequency of big CPU cores is locked to a maximum of 1286MHz; the frequency of the big cluster is supposed to be restricted under 1286MHz if you battery is at or below 10%, as part of Qualcomm’s thermal mitigation, but on previous versions, the frequency restriction was not removed after the phone is charged above 10%
- default to suspend to RAM instead of s2idle (suspend to idle) for around a 25% reduction of idle battery drain
- DO NOT use a third party kernel without proper support for Pixel thermal hal
- Adjusted thermal configs to delay CPU frequency drop and smoothen the thermal throttling curve
- Implemented dynamic thermal profile to work with Pixel thermal engine
- the option is accessible under Settings/Battery/Optimization profiles (in case you are wondering, they had no effect on PE11 before this change)
- thermal configs are dynamically loaded on a per-app basis
- only the gaming profile is available besides the default profile, because other use cases are covered well enough by the default profile
- the gaming profile maintains CPU frequency at even higher temperature compared the default profile
- surface temperatures are measured by an infrared thermometer with matching emissivity to ensure they stay below the allowed maximum values of continuously held electronic devices in IEC 60950-1 (2005) standard
- thermal profile is NOT a replacement for proper cooling. If you want better performance, you should cool your device.
- Eliminated all SELinux neverallows and cleaned up unneeded or broken sepolicy
- the latest Riru installation should work now. Note that if you use any mods like this, you will not receive support from me
- Updated telephony blobs from pyxis 21.3.31 to fix random qtibus crashes in the background
- Went back to Secure Element 1.0 to work with the updated blobs
- Stopped enforcing s2idle from userspace init script so the kernel can suspend to RAM for better idle battery drain
- Cleaned some unused config overlays
Feature Update Highlights:
- April security update
- Fixed the issue of weather information not showing up in “At a glance” on the home screen of Pixel Launcher
- Improved Face Unlock. The issue of front camera being occupied should happen less frequently. Let me know if you still encounter it
- Devices will only use dark boot animation from now on
- Translation updates
Gapps are included. Vendor and firmware are included. OTA or dirty flash is fine if you are on my previous PE 11/Plus build.
