What’s New in Anymore Project Perf Kernel?
This release focuses on refining the kernel with newer compiler optimizations, enhanced memory management, and improved compatibility with modern Android ROMs.
Built with Neutron Clang 23.0
The kernel is now compiled using Neutron Clang 23.0, one of the latest LLVM-based toolchains used by many Android kernel developers. Newer compiler optimizations can help improve execution efficiency while maintaining excellent stability across supported ROMs.
Improved Memory Management
One of the biggest changes in this release is the addition of new Linux vmscan sysctl controls for protecting the system working set.
These new controls improve how Android manages memory under heavy workloads by allowing better protection of frequently used pages. This can reduce unnecessary memory reclaim operations, helping applications stay in memory longer and improving multitasking performance.
Updated Stock Kernel Configuration
The kernel now uses the original POCO X3 Pro stock Vayu configuration for /proc/config.gz.
This helps maintain better compatibility with applications, kernel management tools, debugging utilities, and various third-party modules that rely on the kernel configuration being available.
Ongoing Performance Improvements
Besides the visible changes, the latest release also includes several internal refinements that improve kernel efficiency and overall responsiveness during everyday use.
Users can expect:
- Better multitasking behavior
- Improved memory handling
- Faster overall responsiveness
- Better compatibility across Android versions
- Continued focus on performance and stability
Official Changelog
- Built with Neutron Clang 23.0
- Added new mm/vmscan sysctl knobs for protecting the working set
