Device Specific Changes:
- Etude kernel: Op.11 No.5
- Linux 4.9.286
- merged CAF tag
LA.UM.9.8.r1-04000-SDM710.0
with fix on cdsp regression - DO NOT use a third party kernel without proper support for Pixel thermal hal
- Fixed the smoothness of brightness transitions
- brightness now changes in the smallest steps possible, so lower brightness range adjustment no longer feels choppy
- the effect is similar to the hack at the end of android10, but the implementation is much better
- Improved the double click haptic feedback to actually feel like a double click
- you can try it by putting a wrong finger on the fingerprint sensor
- Added the missing libvpphcp.so
- Tweaked the default thermal profile to hotplug two big CPU cores when the device is really hot
- in terms of thermal mitigation, offlining two CPU cores is a lot more effective than throttling frequencies
- when the device is under thermal pressure, having two big cores at relatively higher frequencies is generally more advantageous than having four big cores with lower frequencies
- the gaming profile (under Settings/Battery/Thermal profiles) remains unchanged
Feature Update Highlights:
- October security patch
- Misc fixes and 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.
