[Kernel][LP-CAF] Render Kernel [D80x/LS/VS980/F320x][R3]

for AOSP Based Roms!​

Now supporting LP-CAF Roms for the G2!! Note that I am no longer supporting my old Kernels for KK or LP.
​

My goal with this kernel is to be a very fast and stable build that offers some things that the other kernels do not. I want to initiate Development Discussions amongst the community. This will be a noob friendly thread as long as the new users follow 2 rules. First is to do some research before asking. Most likely your question has already been asked. If not in this thread then in another. Second is BE RESPECTFUL. You do these two things and even the most hardened Dev will assist you.

Current Features
General List:

* Synapse Support - Complete Kernel Control!
* Built with UBER A15 Linaro 4.9.2 Toolchain
* Hotplugs: MSM_Limiter, Intelliplug, and Bricked Hotplug
* MSM_Limiter by @neobuddy89 adds Per-Core Functionality

THANKS!!!!
First I want to say thank you to everyone who has answered my questions and responded to my pm's when I know they are busy with their own lives. Pretty much everyone I have come into contact with here on XDA has been truly helpful and respectful. Here is a list of people that had helped me in one way or the other:

myfluxi, Dorimanx, Neobuddy89, Savoca, Faux123, Blechd0se, and Many More!

Thank you guys! Without your contributions to the community we would not have the level of performance, stability and interaction that we have today

Special Thanks!

So far in R6:

Sound Control Locking mechanism works automatically now! Yea!

Slimbus Overclocked and optimized - Should further increase sound quality!

Kexec Hardboot patched in

Underclocking

Ultra Conservative tuned (yet with no lag somehow?! lol)

Setup CONFIG_MSM_RUN_QUEUE_STATS_BE_CONSERVATIVE (Essentially hot-plugging occurs when your run-queue aka load level gets to a certain level. What this new options does is make the calculation more conservative. TL DR Should help increasing batter performance)

Oh and f2fs. (Finishing scripts to auto change fstab to mount partitions properly and automatically depending on whether you have EXT4 or F2FS!)

I may add something else in last minute, WHO KNOWS! Also I will be working on R26 for KK as well such ass:

Sound Control Locking

Slimbus Overclocked and optimized

Setup CONFIG_MSM_RUN_QUEUE_STATS_BE_CONSERVATIVE

F2FS (ppl have been asking forever for this and have been asking nicely! Time to reward that!)

LP-R6 s almost done and KK-R26 is mapped out and should be easy enough to complete.

Why Render is not a "Reconized Dev" on XDA ???
What can we do to make what he deserve ?

Actually, I guess its time to reveal. I have just recently been made a Recognized Developer! Just takes time on their end to get me all setup. I was gunna wait till it showed up but I guess now is as good a time as any!

Hey guys, I am currently working on R6 on my new VPS. It should be done today. I am pretty excited for its release because i feel it is one of the more complete releases for LP so far. Also @MrDarkKV has been working VERY hard with my new kernel site and I am pretty impressed with everything he has done on his own! He wanted to just help me and other devs out. So he told me about his battery crapping out last night and I talked him into setting up a PalPal accounts. It took some prodding because he didn't feel it was right but I convinced him that his work has made downloading my kernel easier than ever! Not only can you download it on the phone now, you can download it on almost ANY device/browser! That's pretty cool! You guys should know me by now that I don't do this for the money and neither does MrDarkKV. My argument was, if your battery went out and you had to buy a new phone and it wasn't the G2, you would not feel as invested in the G2 community and would lose interest. So I will post the paypal link below and in OP#1 and ONLY if you have the means and are happy with what he has done, feel free to donate. Do not feel obligated AT ALL. I just wanted to show him the appreciation I have for him. The battery on Ebay is about $30. Thanks Guys! Hand tight for today and I should have a brand new release incoming!

Also one last bit of news:

I am an official member of Team OSE (Open Source Evolution) and we have been very hard at work at building an LP rom that We as devs want to use as our own Daily Driver. I am happy to announce that we will soon be releasing our baby to the world. I have been testing and using it for about over a week now and I am VERY impressed, not only is it not just a CM12 clone, it has features that others do not have yet. It is based off of SlimLP. I cant wait to share this with you all. Of cource my kernel will be included! The other members of OSE are:
