1. download the kernel package
2. save it to the sdcard
3. reboot into recovery
4. flash the kernel package using recovery
5. reboot from recovery into system
6. the device should now start booting
7. enjoy the kernel

1. download the kernel package
2. save it kernel to the folder containing fastboot binary
3. flash the boot.img using fastboot:
   
   Code:

   fastboot flash boot boot.img

4. reboot from fastboot
   
   Code:

   fastboot reboot

5. the device should now start booting
6. enjoy the kernel

1. before u report any battery drain issues please read this:
   [GUIDE] HOW-TO Properly Evaluate Battery Life and Provide Useful Reports
   
   
2. faux123 has posted very nice info regarding most features

Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is released for all at GITHUB repo given below. BUT Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. A lot of my free time has gone into patching/testing this kernel/features integrated in this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source.

Thank you !

if u feel that this work has helped u OR u think that the work i put into making this is worthy of donations, then click on the following link for buying me some coffee/beer/etc

1. Android OS level
   • there is a binary called: /system/bin/thermald which writes lower CPU freq values to the CPU sysfs interface if the device starts heating
   • there is also an app "Overheat Control" which i suspect is doing something similar
2. Kernel level
   • there seems to be some sort of fail-safe in place "msm_dcvs" which resets the CPU to 918Mhz or 1026Mhz or 1512Mhz
   • could also be some other things i am still searching

• main kernel
  1. add VDD interface (DONE)
  2. remove CPU auto throttling restrictions (DONE)

• updated stock ramdisk to 14.3.A.0.757 firmware - this wont boot on older stock ROM (.681 !!!) or ROMs based on older FW, you will get bootloops!
  
  
• updated with 14.3.A.0.757 firmware kernel sources
  
  
• added MSM_Turbo driver (thanks to @faux123) - when only two cores are active this should push them to higher frequency - not sure of this is working correctly
  
  
• brought back CPU OverClock upto 2.4 GHz ! - device will boot by default at 2.26 GHz - please test this out with various governors so that we know its working correctly
  
  
• added new tweaked CPU frequency governors: - please do testing using each of these new governors!
  • LionHeart
  • SmartAssV2
  • LagFree
  
  
• disabled DoubleTap2Wake for now - was causing increased battery drain
