*Fixed a severe bug in Google's code for determining memory bandwidth requirements of various processors in the SoC (this should fix many stutters across the entire phone)
*Added TTL/HL netfilter modules

December 12, 2024 (A15 stable):
*Updated to December security patch
*Improved the CPU governor for massively better performance and overall smoothness
*Greatly enhanced the scheduler's ability to track CPU load, for better overall performance
*Greatly improved sustained performance when the CPU is thermal throttled, such as during gaming
*Improved battery life as a result of the significant scheduler improvements
*Improved my RAM speed governor for better performance during short bursts of high-intensity CPU load
*Fixed a huge bug in my IRQ balancer (SBalance) that caused it to never work correctly, improving overall performance
*Backported a stability fix from a newer version of the mali GPU driver, to fix a bug introduced in the December mali driver upgrade

Google did not update the kernel at all in the October 2025 security patch. Therefore, you can continue to use the September 9, 2025 kernel on the October 2025 security patch.

January 25, 2026 (A16 stable):
*Updated to January security patch (same as December because Google didn't update this kernel in January)
*Removed a buggy and incorrect PCIe driver optimization I had made in October 2023
*Fixed Google's pixelstats-vendor service not getting blocked (it would run in the background and use some battery)
*Fixed device unexpectedly rebooting shortly after booting into this kernel for the first time
*Fixed Play system updates failing to install; the device would unexpectedly reboot and rollback to the previous Play system update, which caused the "device rebooting shortly after installing the kernel" bug
*Fixed gpuservice crashing in the background, which caused the above two bugs related to Play system updates
*Unified kernel source tree for Pixel 7, 8, and 9 series into one repository named android_kernel_google_tensynos
*Updated the flashable zip to check for vendor patch level instead of security patch level (fixes the security patch level installation error encountered on custom ROMs)
