#Sultan #Kernel #A17 #Fork #Shiba #Husky
Ante0's SULTAN17 Kernel (Sultan Fork) | A17 | Pixel 8 Series

Build Date: 25/09/2025
Maintainer:
Ante0

Download:
Google Base | Sultan Base also supports CP3A-LTS builds

Support Group: Telegram

Changelog:
β€’ LTS builds are 6.1.177

Notes:
β€’ Only for Pixel 8 & Pixel 8 Pro
β€’ Select 'zuma' for Pixel 8 Series
β€’ CP2A = Initial A17 release
β€’ CP3A = September QPR1 update

β€’ Sultan base is more battery friendly
β€’ You can use any version of Kernel Flasher, or OrangeFox or KernelSU-Next
β€’ For dm-verity/verification enabled: as avb can start trusting GKI images (for some reason), and you will boot into recovery where it asks for a Factory Reset. But seeing as these are AK3 builds you'd patch your current boot so it shouldn't happen anyway.

For those who seem to be experiencing sluggishness on their Pixel 8 series devices, this might be the reason for it
The Android 17 QPR 1 update for Google Pixel devices contains a regression in the Pixel kernel driver tree, causing stuttering, lag, and outright freezes under memory pressure.

Unfortunately, this buggy QPR 1 stable update, which includes numerous UI bugs and performance issues, is also the last update for the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6 devices.
