Thanks a lot for the response. Man that is really too bad. I am good with kernels themselves, but creating add-on modules is a different ballgame. I wanted to do some undervolting algorithms and screen refresh rate mods to greatly increase the battery. What a bummer. I am still going to be working on an optimized rom though for the Optimus Pro at least, and many, if not all, of the adjustments will be easily portable to other devices with Android 7

You have to increase your trust level, read this
Some small Chinese manufacturers refuse to release kernel source, becoming gpl violators, but you can do nothing about it. I own a Micromax smartphone, for which Micromax hasn’t released anything, so I couldn’t compile any roms for it… There are some guides on xda to reverse engineer the kernel source from the boot.img, try searching/asking there

He reached trust level 1 25 days ago, so it is kind of weird if his posts still has to be approved
Ya reverse engineering is possible,though its difficult,but the config file is not present in the boot.img,so it is not possible at all
wow, sounds like a heck of a lot of work, just to create a starting point for a kernel lol. I registered on the kospet forums and will try to bug them for the source and maybe even do some bs legal threats, like having their products non-sellable in the US. I mean realistically they are in violation of GPL and could have sales of their products halted until source released. It is so funny that China steals everyone’s tech and reverse engineers it and then claims that all tech should be shared and hardware should be open sourced and then refuses to comply with open source rules.

Hello
Thanks a lot @iscle and all.
I have the Optimus Pro for a few days and all is ok with rooting thanks to you !!
Gravity Box (Nougat version) work well and is essential for this watch, especially for the led wakelocks bug, volume control etc … For me is also the GMD gesture control app great, for everyday use.
Do you have found out something new for battery improvement ?
Lux Auto Brightness and Pixoff: Battery Saver is a nice combo for battery saving.
Since it has an oled screen Pixoff can turn off the pixels by making them black while Lux can change the screen brightness using the camera as a light sensor.

hi, i have an kospet Optimus Pro with fw 3.0 and i would like to flash the twrp.
To avoid problems I have to replace the boot.img file with the boot.img of the 3.0 file in the twrp_patcher.zip file.
Then follow the procedure described in the first post.
Can anyone confirm this?
thank you very much

Hey guys I wanna ask a question: Why TWRP_patcher.zip is needed? How does it work exactly?
TWRP_patcher basically flashes the original boot.img back, and also removes some files that avoid TWRP being replaced with the stock recovery after booting to android again.

Ohkey, thanx for the clarification 
So as somebody posted before, should I replace boot.img with the latest firmware available in the TWRP_patcher, and can I flash Magisk directly after that?
