• Device is identified correctly (both Neo and Neo V) in recovery
• ADB access in recovery
• Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 (credits DoomLord)
• Overclock (OC): upto 1.6 GHz (use with discretion, i will not be responsible for ANY damage)
• Governors: Smartassv2, Intellidemand, OndemandX, Smoothass, InteractiveX, SavagedZen, BrazilianWax
• IO scheduler: sio added built in (default)
• Filesystems: ext4 inbuilt, isofs, ntfs as modules added
• Network: VPN support (tun/tap driver)
• USB OTG: USB OTG support built in(mass storage, hid, mouse, keyboard)
• Enable only features you want!! (See instructions below)
• userinit support
• Undervolting with vdd_levels sysfs
• 2-way call recording patch (experimental)
• swap:Enable with single line (How-to here)

Download
Please see new install instructions!!

suave-kernel-v6-neov.img <- NEO V
suave-kernel-v6-neo.img <- NEO
OC increased to 1.6 GHz, swap (can be enabled with a single line) How-to here.

suave-kernel-v5-exp-neov.img <- NEO V
suave-kernel-v5-exp-neo.img <- NEO
Much better battery life!! + BrazilianWax & SavagedZen governors
CPU OC only till 1.4 GHz. Please see discussion here.

Previous:

 

suave-kernel-v3.1-exp-neov.img <- NEO V
Small bug-fix (no more kernel errors on logcat)!

suave-kernel-v3-exp-neov.img <- NEO V
suave-kernel-v3-exp-neo.img <- NEO
Added 2-way call recording + battery saver tweaks (full changelog post 2)

suave-kernel-v2-neov.img <- NEO V
suave-kernel-v2-neo.img <- NEO
Added UV (How-to below) + NTFS inbuilt (all changelog 2nd post)


suave-kernel-v1-neov.img <- NEO V
suave-kernel-v1-neo.img <- NEO

Stock WiFi modules
Required by only those coming from Night-elf kernel, CWM flashable.

Q. How to install?

 

Just as you install a custom kernel.

Steps:
1. Power down device and get into FASTBOOT MODE -> switch off device hold menu key & plugin usb. (LED notification turns BLUE)
2. check fastboot with "fastboot devices"
3. flash boot image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Reboot with "fastboot reboot"
5. Enjoy!

How to enable/disable features?
This kernel sets properties to features so that they can be enabled or disabled easily

shardul.module.tun=0
shardul.module.isofs=0
shardul.module.ntfs=0
shardul.module.hid_apple=0
shardul.module.hid_microsoft=0

Method 1: Edit /data/local.prop directly
Method 2: "writeprop shardul.module.isofs 1" on shell / terminal emulator for individual properties set/unset
Module will be loaded on next boot!
If you want to load module only for the current session, see this app!

Q. How to undervolt (UV)?
Easy methods -> andrev_oc, IncrediControl (Thanks to adridu for the tip)
OR

 

Query vdd levels (output: first column: frequency (kHz), second column: vdd* (mV))

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

incrementing/decrementing all levels by a specified amount* (mV):

echo '-25' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
echo '+25' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

adjusting the supply voltage* (second value, mV) at a specific frequency (first value, kHz):

echo '998400 1250' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

*: vdd values must be a multiple of 25 (enforced by the interface; the regulator doesn't accept other values)

Want this on locked bootloader? : See here

See here . Of course boss!

Is this better than the superstock kernel?

Awesome! Will try it as soon as I get my hands on a computer. Mine is broken right now.

Sent from my MT11i using xda premium

thanks shardul., il try it.,

Flashed...

Wifi-OK
Cam-OK
BT-OK
Video Play-OK

U-Totta OK..!!
Battery Drain to be tested..
Problem-This doesnt supprt Undervolting???
i want this feature..it really helps in battery use..

Will give a better feedback tommorow..

Charging the phone..
