- Zombie Kernel, this time for the Xperia Z Ultra.

Hi.Thanks for the provided kernel. Tell it only on the basis of CM? On SLimKat it is possible to set?

All cm based roms will work: pa, slim, etc..
I'm currently running it on slim.

I'm taking it is based on CM11's kernel - too lazy to look

Yeah, based on cm, all other roms use stock cm or cm based kernels.

[madsponge26]

[Tommy-Geenexus]

add dt2w in new release!

the upcoming release will feature backports from caf and linux and a rewritten anykernel, but i'll look for dt2w for sure.

 

[Tommy-Geenexus]

New update out!

AnyKernel2 is rewritten, now removes scheduler/readahead overrides present in cm ramdisk.


Kernel is updated with backports and other stuff.
I've added logger control via sysfs:

path: sys/module/logger/parameters/log_mode

// 0: Enabled, 2isabled

Flash and enjoy.

Last KK update

Hi folks, here is my last kk update.
I've rebased the kernel on slimkat-kernel, and added my optimisations on top of it.
I've removed over 40k lines of unused deprecated code!
It will run best with slim.

See here for the changes i made.

Sent from my Bacon Machine

Well, this is simple to answer.

I won't include any other than the already included governors.
For a fact all these govs like lionheart, etc.. were designed years ago and deliver subpar performance compared to the included governors, as they are designed with old single or dualcore devices in mind ( and pegasusq uses its own hotplug logic).

Only difference are faux intelli governors which are quite actual codewise, and a few more others which are optimized for modern devices.

But the best performance and battery life will be achieved using a frequently updated interactive or ondemand governor.

@madsponge26

i'm working on bringing dt2w.

I'll see if i can fix a few things such as >2taps mostly and implement a wakeout time like flar2.

It's already working quite good, thanks @blueether for the base.

I can't do much on lollipop as my knowledge is very limited and c only, so i'll let the others who have more knowledge doing their job and supporting them if it's in my range.
