About

Mint is an optimized kernel source based on Samsung's open-source kernel drops of the Galaxy A50. Additional features include:

• Built with LLVM/Clang (proton-clang) 13
• Built with Link-Time Optimizations (LTO) enabled
• A fully-revamped Exynos Mobile Scheduler (EMS) optimized for low-latency tasks.
• A smarter governor with boost algorithms from the Galaxy S10 as well as 'inferencing' from the S20.
• Added additional I/O schedulers, anxiety is set as default.
• Various kernel and performance improvements from Linux upstream, and even from Qualcomm devices.
• Backported changes from multiple devices, including newer Galaxy devices.
• RAM Plus support (requires ROM support), including support for per-process swap.
• Disabled basic Samsung hardening (Knox, etc).
• Added support for WireGuard VPN tunnel.

Building Locally

Local and GitHub Action builds of Mint are built using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. The following prerequisites are needed to build with this source:

Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get install libelf-dev bzip2 bc p7zip-full jq git python3 python-is-python3

Fedora

sudo dnf install elfutils-libelf-devel bzip2 bc p7zip jq git python3

Once you have the prerequisites installed, simply run this on the Terminal.

./build.sh -d|--device <device> -v|--variant <variant> -a|--android <Android version> [main options]

Device options:

- a50 # For Samsung Galaxy A50
- m30s # For Samsung Galaxy M30S

More options are available on the script by executing ./build.sh --help|-h. The script will download all it needs (including the toolchain) and builds a new kernel build for you.
