• FKM dirty flash recommended
(if it doesn't work , you can experiment with clean flash)

On steroid kernel :
• Ext4 file format => better storage performance
• f2fs file format => better file integrity

but both are supported

if you have issues with :

• clocks being stuck at 1.7ghz instead of 300mhz
• touch panel not working correctly

then you should try clean flash from stock firmware

if you have issues with :

• screen OC not working
• not booting on A12

then you should do Dirty flash instead of clean

[STEROID v0.6]

Changelog :

- slightly improved jitter and display latency
- better scheduling
- better battery life , more efficient opengles rendering in games (up to 3-10x faster)
- deep sleep fixed , drastically better screen off drain
- lot of screen overclock related compatibility fixes , now these screen refresh rates are supported :
60 , 66 , 69 , 72 , 75 , 78 , 80 , 81 , 84 , 90

[ 84 and 90 can instantly brick your display for some , be careful !! ]

- experimentation with optional support for stricter fsync enforcing , since xiaomi's alternative is not perfect (more on this coming soon in v0.7)

Notes :

Android 11 still recommended
Android 12 works on selected ROMs , has issues with FOD on some ROMs (will be worked on in the future)

anything else unconfirmed

[][][][] > Guide for best experience :

• Apply your own Konabess OC+UV profile
• Apply Ktweaks Balanced profile
• set all three clusters settings :
• down_rate = 0
• up_rate = 0
• hispeed_load = 88 or 90

use refresh rates with good divisors for better frame times when watching videos and gaming.

60hz , 66hz , 72hz , 78hz , 80hz , 84hz has the best divisors

avoid using 69hz , 75hz , 81hz if you want consistent frametimes

we decided to remove v0.6 until the issues are fixed :

issues :

- unexpected app data loss after flashing
- on 60hz mode GPU doesn't lift up UX animations , causing lag

hotfix coming soon

Hotfix :

fixed 60hz animation problems , and problems with data corruption

f2fs works but not recommended (for this version only now)

Just to be safe :

backup /data/ , boot , dtbo before flashing and using the kernel

quick fix - this version shows kernel name normally in settings , instead of showing "unavailable"

v0.6.6 small update :

• drastically improved battery life
• fixed issue with kernel name being unavailable (again)

Notes :

this version doesn't like GPU clocks below 200mhz

use 200-250mhz min GPU frequency with 3-2-4 bus , not 1-1-1 bus.

compatibility and guide for best experience is the same as before
