Code: 
I am NOT responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war
or the current economic crisis caused by you following these directions. 
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me
for messing up your device
I will laugh at you.

see the second post for more information

Use:
For stock or custom rom based in stock 4.3 FW 10.4.B.0.569 or 10.4.1.B.0.101 and 4.4 FW 10.5.A.0.230 or 10.5.A.0.233

NOTE:
For users of the new firmware, there were changes in the kernel of 10.4.B.0.569 for 10.4.1.B.0.101! Screen rotation does not work!

Installation:
Flash via recovery ;)
or
extract boot.img and flash via fastboot

Important note:
The version 5 and more newer
was replaced mpdecision by AutoSMP, I added a script to zip by removing dependencies mpdecision, then it is highly recommended to install via recovery, otherwise you will get two hotplug controllers, which will cause problems!

Please, do not mirror!

Downloads:

*For 4.4.2 KitKat
78Kernel_v5 10.5.A.0.233
78Kernel_v4 10.5.A.0.233
78Kernel_v3 10.5.A.0.233
78Kernel_v2 10.5.A.0.233
78Kernel_v1 10.5.A.0.230

*For 4.3 JellyBean
78Kernel_v4.2 10.4.1.B.0.101
78Kernel_v4.1 10.4.1.B.0.101
78Kernel_v4 10.4.1.B.0.101
78Kernel_v3 10.4.1.B.0.101
78Kernel_v2 10.4.B.0.569
78Kernel Release 10.4.B.0.569

* Only 4.3!
If you come from another custom kernel such as DoomKernel is required to install the proper drivers WIFI
If you come from the stock kernel is not necessary flash
Flash this - Thanks for @TAL333 for tests

Bugs:
Indicate possible problems

Tips:

For Overclock:
For people who use overclock, and the necessary modification of a rom file "sysmon.cfg"
This kernel has overclock up to 1.7GHz
then you should use this:
Flash via recovery sysmon.cfg Overclock 1728000

Note: If you use overclocked other frequency is necessary to modify sysmon.cfg for equivalent frequency
and obviously, if you do not overclock is not necessary to modify sysmon.cfg
Because modify sysmon.cfg?
Because without it the max frequencies not stick in all cores

For people who do want DoubleTap2Wake:
Use this app created by @Soheil_rf, thanks for this :good:

or

Flash this:
Enable DoubleTap2Wake

aaah, but I want to not use it, and now?
Go in /system/etc/init.d and remove 78DoubleTap2Wake
and restart ;)

Summary of activities
Stable version

Enjoy and press the Thanks button if you like! :cowboy:

[ASK]

Is it works on C6502 JB 4.3 ???

i just want to make sure...
@Gustavo RD78 > Thanks for your work.
for future update please add some more feature...

i just buy this phone last night and update from jb 4.1.2 to 4.3.

THANKS.

Thank you all for the comment :good:

I will investigate if it is possible to dualboot, anything I'll post here
since our apparatus is capable of installing a kernel by itself (via recovery) which is very fast and easy, it would not be very important
The idea is to have a lightweight and stable kernel

That's it friend this is for stock or custom rom based in stock 4.3
Then go deep!

Feature requests?

Hey D78,
this Kernel runs my phone quite a while now and while I am missing some features from doomkernel I am pretty happy about it as it is just everything working.
Do you take feature requests? It would be great to have doubletaptowake on this kernel :)
would you do that?
Greetings

And underclocking? If you would extend the frequency table to 192 MHz it would cause a noticeably better battery performance.
I myself would wish a intelli_plug, eco-mode and intelli_demand governor as well, but that's a lot to do and I'm premierement thankful to have a working kernel with recovery :)

I tried to add intelli-plug, but got compilation errors, need to dig to find the cause of the problem

However I have extended the table add 192000 MHz freq One thing I noticed is that only CPU0 (first core) running this frequency, perhaps this could be normal, but I think all colors have to get this freq
you know please tell me something more about it?

I don't know but I think that mpdecision switches unneeded cores off, so at the minimum minimum (the really lowest) frequency, which is in your table then 198000 Hz, there would in every case be only one active core. Is that plausible?
It would be interesting if that occurs a well if you add overclock frequencies.

since we have hotplug enabled by default...
I do not think, just believe it would become more fluid in the lower freq 192000 in all colors after a high freq

    Hi all
    I did not forget you guys! :highfive:

    I'll update soon follow (or create another)

    78Kernel completely written from scratch on new sources KitKat Android 4.4.4 - 10.5.1.A.0.283

    Features: (yet)
    Removed MPdecision, Substituted by AutoSMP (gain incredible battery life without losing performance)
    Force the other colors to match CPU0 When changing frequency or gov
    Add init.d
    Overall softer vibration modified by default (besides being sexier Also preserves battery)
    Disable debug various
    Tune read_ahead_kb for 256
    Add conservative governor
    Add deadline IO scheduler
    Add 192MHz slot 800mV
    Add support for CPU voltage control
    Reduce buffer size to save kernel memory size (more free ram)
    Add double tap to wake (default is not enabled)
    CWM recovery by Philz Touch 6.48.4 (thanks to @ [NUT])
    TWRP 2.7.1.0 (thanks to @ [NUT])
    and more ...

    Notes:
    mpdecision will be automatically copied to /storage/sdcard0/backup_mpdecision (backup)
    The successor ASMP is already enabled by default
    192MHz frequency is set by default and will be loaded at boot
    I have also fixed a script that did not work well sometimes setting ondemand as default governor (interactive use)

    I think that is all :good:
