Default [KERNEL][4.2.2] Kernel+ for d2vzw | Linaro 4.7 | Bleeding Edge | (6/19/13)

Kernel+ for AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs


Quote:
This is a kernel that I have been compiling and using on my own device for a while, and I want to share this with the community. I enjoy the CM10.1 stock kernel, but I want to keep up to date with the newest Linux version and CodeAuroraForum source. I also want the most optimized experience possible, along with a few extra features. Kernel+ is always built with the latest Linux kernel and Qualcomm CAF sources to provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience. The source can be found on my GitHub here Enjoy .


What is this?
This is a kernel based off of CyanogenMod's 'cm-10.1' branch of the Galaxy S III kernel.


Kernel+ is built with the goals in mind:
  • To always be up to date with the latest source from CodeAuroraForum and Kernel.org
  • To optimize as much as possible for the smoothest user experience
  • To base closely off of the CM10.1 kernel for optimal stability, not features
  • To provide a fast, stable, and bleeding edge experience for users



Quote:
Features
  • Linux 3.4.49
  • always up to date with the latest source straight from Qualcomm's CodeAuroraForum
  • latest Linaro 4.7 toolchain compiled
  • CPU frequency from 189Mhz - 1.5Ghz
  • FauxSound App support
  • FRandom built-in (Entropy Seeder)
  • decent battery life
  • optimized and stable
  • small kernel size
  • more coming soon...

Instructions for Installing

1. Download the kernel.
2. Copy it to your phone.
3. Flash with TWRP or CWM.

Note: Kernel+ is packaged with invisiblek's AnyKernel, meaning that it will unpack your current ramdisk and repack it with this kernel during the flashing process. This means that it will be compatible with any AOSP 4.2.2 ROM, even if they have different ramdisks. Also, please make sure that you are currently running a stock AOSP kernel (CM10.1, AOKP, SlimBean, etc) before flashing Kernel+ so that your ramdisk will be compatible.

I have noticed this too...but I think I had it in the CM kernel too if I remember correctly. Anyways, I am currently testing different MDP bandwidth parameters to get it fixed.

But for now, the flicker seems to go away if you check disable hw overlays in developer options.

Right. It's actually gone in the CM 10.1 kernels... a bug that was squashed some time ago. Other than that though, this kernel is really good! I've noticed better battery after using it last night into this morning.
