Default [KERNEL] Lite/Cleaned kernels

You can download lite kernels here. I removed bootanimations and bootsounds for those who do not like it. You will still be able to use bootanimations. I only removed the bootanimations of these kernel(s) to make sure yours don't get overwritten when installing this kernel afterwards.

If you want bootanimations or other unnecessary things I recommend downloading original versions of the kernels below.

Features
- Removed unnecessary things like bootanimations.
- Removed the metadata files from special OS'es.
- No performance change, just clean update.zips
- Kernels have same features as before

Downloads
GLaDOS v1.9 Pack CFS & BFS
Matr1x v11.5 Pack CFS & BFS

Credits
Ezekeel - GLaDOS
mathkid95 - Matr1x

More kernels coming soon!

I made sure the kernels even run better!

Features
- Removed unnecessary crap (kernel bootanimations or kernel boot sounds) --> yours don't get overwritten
- Kernels have same features as before

Downloads
GLaDOS v1.9 Pack CFS & BFS

More kernels coming soon!
you made the kernel run better by removing 2 things that don't even affect performance once you get past the boot?

Although it's politically correct to ask for permissions, you realize Ezekeel has a git up so anyone can compile his own version of GLaDOS?

I read everything all scripts etc. I made sure everything was correct and then I removed bootanimation and bootup sounds which are not necessary actually.If you want those you can download his original kernel.

I only removed bootanimations from this one.

I think GLaDOS kernel is most mature kernel. Then comes franco's kernel.

No, but it doesn't remove the open source nature of the kernel. *shrugs*

Anyway, with the bunch of people not bohering to read up and use the search function but not wanting the boot animation & sounds, I can see this filling a certain niche. Can't vouch for the so said improvements though.

Not every newbie knows how to edit kernels or how to deal with update.zip files.

This is why I do it for them. This so called newbies may not want their bootanimations being overwritten.

Shortly said I just want to help newbies in these forums. Or just being easy on lazy people
