- Enabled Power Efficient Workqueues which extends battery life.
- Patched many drivers to enable Power Efficient Workqueues at a driver level.
- Patched in Power Efficient Workqueues at a treewide level.

Beta Release v1.1
- Disabled AUDITSYSCALL for SELinux, reduces logging, which speeds up performance.
- Added Magisk 26.3 patched init_boot.img, so flashing Magisk is not needed. The Magisk APK file is here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v26.3/Magisk.v26.3.apk
- Added KonaBess patched GPU table which undervolts all frequencies by 1 clock regulator, lowering power use. Top clock OC to 730mhz.
- All mods are installed via an AnyKernel3 zip file, flash via TWRP or via a kernel manager such as EXKM.
REQUIRES: Kernel version = 5.15.78-android13, Android security patch level = August 1, 2023 - note the AnyKernel.zip file only appears to work on the S23 base series.
IF YOU AREN'T ON THE AUGUST SECURITY PATCH, or a base S23: you can flash just the boot.img, it doesn't patch Magisk or the GPU table, however.
BACKUP: boot.img, init_boot.img, vendor_boot.img
Initial Beta Release v1.0
Features:
Samsung S23 Ultra SM-S918B 5.15.78 kernel, works on S23, S23+, S23 Ultra
- Removed all Knox and other Samsung Security references
- Fsync Toggle (enabled/disabled, default is enabled) - write speeds are ~2x faster (Cross Platform Disk Test) when disabled. Toggle in EX Kernel Manager under Storage / fsync. Note if there is a system crash, corruption may occur. Only disable after fully testing the build, and don't use buggy apps that may crash the system.
- Boeffla Wakelock Blocker - blocks (7) A13 specific wakelocks which keep the phone from entering deep sleep, extends battery life. Can block more wakelocks using EX Kernel Manager under Miscellaneous / Block Wakelocks, such as "scan_wake_lock" although I don't know what that impacts.
Beta release so please report bugs if you use this kernel!
