        Why test this?
        Because this is the first step we need to take in order to hope to move these devices to 20.04; I'm not saying that if these kernels work we are all happy and ready to go, but this is a prerequisite. So, please, if you have one of these devices, give it a try, and report back (maybe after a week or two).
        Thanks in advance

              Hi, I have installed the mentioned kernel on BQE4.5 (krillin). I haven't been able to test it much yet. The fm radio application (without internet) works. I will observe the rest of the points. Thanks.

              I edit with more information

              In day to day use everything works normally. I think opening the configuration takes longer.

                  Just installed. BQ M10 HD seems to behave well, uname tells me 3.10.93 built on Jan 31. FM app detects headphones (or not) but seems frozen afterwards.

                        @mardy niiice, thanks for your work i'll test it out too~ sadly my battery is rather old to be a reliable battery test πŸ˜“ and my touch screen isn't in the best state either but i'll be sure to report any other issues!

                          @sk @mardy Did you get a chance to compile a new kernel for the M10 FHD? If not could you maybe share what steps are needed? I have compiled my own desktop kernel in the past, so I should be OK following instructions. Point me to a more suitable discussion platform is needed.

                            Not yet, sorry! I've been busy with something else πŸ™‚

                            If you feel like trying, please have a look at the README I added in https://gitlab.com/ubports-legacy-devices/cooler/kernel_bq_m10, because I expect that the steps will be quite similar.

                              During the time I have been using the new kernel it seems to me that when I have internet data enabled the battery consumption is higher. When I have the data connection disabled I have not detected any difference in battery consumption.

                                Thanks Jose! It would be valuable if you could run a test where you use the data connection for about 1 hour (or at least half hour) with and without this new kernel, to see if it really makes a sensible difference. Better if both tests start from the same level of charge; in other words, it's better if initially the battery is at 100% level. Maybe you can just leave the device idle, but connected to the internet, and see how the battery is like after 1 hour.

                                  @mardy sorry for asking such a basic question, but how can I load the old kernel? I don't have the boot.img file of the kernel that the phone used before.

                                    If I'm not mistaken if you switch channel and go back you should trigger a complete flashing of your device.
                                    But I can be wrong...

                                      I'm not sure if switching channels is enough (I guess it is, but I'm also not sure), but for sure reflashing the device with the installer will do it.

                                        @mardy hello, after putting the previous kernel I see that the consumption is the same (varies very little and may be due to other factors).

                                        Until now I had not noticed that with the 3G network connected without any open application and the screen off, the battery consumption was much higher than with wifi (without any open application).

                                        To revert to the previous kerner I have performed the following steps, in case it is useful to anyone else.
                                        I download the zip file corresponding to my device from.
                                        https://cdimage.ubports.com/stock-bq-images/krillin.zip
                                        from
                                        https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/install.html#install-on-legacy-android-devices

                                        I open the zip file with my favorite decompressor.
                                        I extract the boot.img file to my pc
                                        I turn off the mobile, connect the usb cable and boot in fast boot mode.
                                        Using the volume keys select fast boot
                                        On the pc I run the corresponding command
                                        fastboot flash boot boot.img && fastboot reboot
