Install ElementalX-OP5: Custom Kernel for the OnePlus 5

OnePlus 5 users can now try out the custom kernel on their Stock OS and Custom ROM. A kernel is a core program that controls the CPU resources, the system devices, the system memory, including the file system, networking and is responsible for handling all the process.

Whenever you start an app, the kernel loads the app into the memory. Whenever an app needs memory, it is the kernel who allocates in it.

Even if an app wants networking, the kernel does all the low-level processing.

ElementalX is a custom kernel for the OnePlus 5 developed by XDA Developer flar2, for maximum stability of the device.

This Custom Kernel is available to download and install on your OnePlus 5. It can be used on both Official OxygenOS as well as Custom ROM like LineageOS.
