I'm on 0307 official nightly + 0308 notest kernel
using older nightly maybe cause phone crash because init.rc was different
Its been forever since I used a custom kernel and want to confirm steps to install: Boot to recovery > install latest nightly (0308) > install 0308 notest kernel in OP > install gapps > reboot. Correct? Anything else?
Do you have mobile data with the 0307 nightly? I ask cause the 0308 does not. Only wifi.
I was loving the kernel up till then and had to revert.
seems data not work too, i don't have data plan this month so I didn't aware before
this problem could be came from upstream (cm-11) to devices with old ril, should be fixed if pawitp (i9000 dev) commits got merged
It looks like that one was merged to the 0306 nightly. Oh well.

build 20140310
Features and changelogs:
build 20140310
- Add 1100 oc step from mackay, full charge indicator from sc-02b and 2 other commits
build 20140308
- Use ramdisk 0307 nightly with 144mb zram (stable enough)

overclock upper than1.2 will trigger a sleep of dead on epic4g with kernel 3.0 (starting from jb)
Similar to the epicmtd 10.1 build, could the crespo RIL be used in place of the legacy epic RIL, with of course the proper kernel/ROM patches and radio flashes, to bring back the data connection in the CM11 builds? I am using a notest kernel/crespo radio firmware with 10.1.3 and it workd wonderfully right now. Is the crespo RIL considered non-legacy?
I think crespo ril considered as legacy too. FYI I use the "legacy" word from pawitp patch in cm gerrit, don't know exactly which devices included.
Based on cm official blog post about snapshot-m4, there's a big changes in march nightlies related to ril (multi sim support & qcril stuff), so we must wait till this problem solved or use nightly before march.
About crespo4g modem, I already tried that several times to get it works on kitkat & no luck till now (no baseband).
build 20140313
Features and changelogs:
build b4 march for 20140228 nightlies and older
Compiled at this kernel HEAD and initram
build 20140313 for 20140307-NIGHTLY and newer
Builded at this HEAD
- Switch cflag from -Og (reverted to -O2 then) to -O3, the kernel size was much bigger & reduce user RAM to 416MB
- Use newer linaro toolchhain 14.02
- Add aries-common: zRAM: only read one page at a time
imo default linux value will give better performance, but I prefer to follow aosp guide like in stock cm-11 for galaxysmtd.

Features and changelogs:
build 20140401
Compiled on this HEAD
- Update iniram & cwm from 20140331-NIGHTLY
- Enable KSM_CHECK_PAGE
- Enable Advanced TCP Congestion Control
build 20140324 for 20140323-NIGHTLY and newer
- Update initram & cwm from 20140323-NIGHTLY
It's been enable in all custom kernel & stock cm7 till now (stock cm-11). Most noticed function is allowing temporary boot to stock rom to update prl, calibrate screen etc.
I remove this to easily apply memset fix so I can compile the kernel source with linaro gcc 4.8, which should be give a better optimization

Sweet new build! Yeah! Thank you for keeping this alive! 
Does this kernel support dual boot? If so how....
I found a thread on XDA for dual boot, but man is it old (like 2011) ....
Thanks
Sno

0401 will be the last build because my pc suddenly shutdown & won't boot again
it's very old pc.. maybe above 9 years old, so already reach end of it's life I guess
meantime I just buy a new phone lg g2, so can't buy a pc in near future
about dual boot in epic4g, I think it's impossible because the internal storage too small for 2 system

Bummer about your PC...
Kinda "solved" my dual boot question...with the FC09 boot from SD I was asking about earlier (kexec question). Only really need it 'til they get the wired MIC support back ( square reader)
Anyhow, Thanks again for all of your hard work keeping the Epic going! G/L with the G2!

sorry to hear about your pc & that its loss spells the end of development, but I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for all the tremendous amount of kernel development you've done for us Epic users the last couple of years, it has been greatly appeciated.

6Warning!
- This isnota stable (enough) build, (but) a random reboot or system hang (still) may occur
- Default color tweaked with darker look, this use color multiplier value from samurai kernel + my gamma set
this can be set in bbelos unofficial build. In official nightly this can be set from terminal or root explorer in this folder:
/sys/class/misc/color_tuning/
- Video capture & playback (cma problem with or without ksm) mostly working.
In rare condition it need long time to start (5 minutes or more).
You can wait it if you have time (recommended) or simply restart your phone.
- Kexec not supported!
- Maybe some more...

- Add 2 patches to improve swap & revert aries-common: zRAM: only read one page at a time.
This time I prefer this kernel doc:
over aosp guide:Code:It is a logarithmic value - setting it to zero means "1 page", setting it to 1 means "2 pages", setting it to 2 means "4 pages", etc. Zero disables swap readahead completely. The default value is three (eight pages at a time). There may be some small benefits in tuning this to a different value if your workload is swap-intensive. Lower values mean lower latencies for initial faults, but at the same time extra faults and I/O delays for following faults if they would have been part of that consecutive pages readahead would have brought in.
build b4 march for 20140228 nightlies and olderCode:By default, the Linux kernel swaps in 8 pages of memory at a time. When using ZRAM, the incremental cost of reading 1 page at a time is negligible and may help in case the device is under extreme memory pressure. To read only 1 page at a time, add the following to your init.rc: `write /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster 0`

Just curious, Why you were rebranding nitest to notest?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
it happened by an accident usually I change the branch name because it's difficult to apply new patch to the recent branch (too many commits to revert back)
in the beginning of notest commit, I've plan to create a stable branch without too many additions.. but I can stop myself to try something & too lazy to switch between branches so, here it is the "no-test" became "ni(ghtly) test" & going further with experimental cma, lz4, zcache etc... it should be "nu(tty crazy) test" in essential
