Okay
Which version of kernel i can use on kitkat
I want latest as possible

I've been tracking TZ releases and their compatibilty with kitkat. the latest one that can be used for kitkat with no problem is the v4.10. (it's the same v4.9 for kitkat)
other versions since 4.10 were mostly released for supporting cm12 betas, so they didn't keep the kitkat support. and in v4.14 Varun officially dropped kitkat support.

ThunderZap 4.15

- Compatibility with CM12.1
- Updated base to CAF LP-5.1

End of support for CyanogenMod 12

you mean TZ4.15 will not run on cm12?
so it is only running on cm12.1?
(i will use cm12.1 so i dont mind....just to clearify^^ )

and a little request: may you add a list of "last support" to opening thread? just like:
cm11 - TZ4.9
cm12 - TZ4.14
cm12.1 - TZ4.15 and up

*please dont hit me*

I just found out, that this kernel is responsible for some lags on CM 12(.1) i hope it's will be fixed quickly. Also Wi-Fi doesn't want to connect until I open wifi settings manually. Without this kernel everything works OK, but I miss overclocking.

    FAQs

    Well lets begin, almost all features can be controlled using the TricksterMOD

    How to access recovery?

    Keep pressing volume down button when you see Thunderzap logo

    Now special things about this!-
    1. You can also use camera key to boot into recovery! hell yeah! BUT remember, NOT to use it for your first recovery boot. Make first recovery boot only using vol down key! Remember this. If you do so, phone will stuck up on ThunderZap logo and your key combo will get swapped and remapped to Volume up and you would need to use Vol up to boot into recovery until the next kernel flash.

    2. You can also reboot to recovery from your Android OS directly! Yes I have done it! But same criteria as above! not to use that way for first boot. After you are done with first recovery boot you can use camera key, terminal way anytime!! :D

    So how to use the terminal way?
    Open terminal emulator[NOT adb shell]
    Gain su permissions and type
    Code: 
    start-cwm
    And within a minute you will be in CWM! ;)

    See above chart and decide which to use! But westwood has been set as default!
    Some of them from above chart won't be present, so watch only those which are present in feature list.


    Q. How to use vibration intensity control?

    echo "your-value" > /sys/devices/virtual/timed_output/vibrator/level
    Values range is 12-31. None other



    Q. How to use ThunderSonic Engine?
    It is a sound control driver. There are two interfaces which you can control
    1. Headphone boost - I made this feature because louder volume than max volume in earphones rushes more adrenaline in me making music more enjoyable.
    Turning this On will give you instant significant volume boost in earphones which is greater than what you get when the volume is max. Just make the volume maximum and turn this ON and you will notice it

    How to turn on:
    In terminal emulator/ adb shell, get su permissions and then type
    Code: 
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/thundersonic_engine/headphone_boost
    and use 0 to turn off

    2. Speaker boost - In crowded areas I felt speakers of XL fall short in terms of volume magnitude. So I made this to increase speaker volume speakers beyond its limit and now my phone sounds even louder than those dirt cheap china phones
    This is 8-leveled boost interface. That means there are 8 boost levels. The default is 3 on TZ
    How to turn on
    Code: 
    echo X > /sys/kernel/thundersonic_engine/speaker_boost
    where X can be any value from 4 to 8 depending upon the volume boost you require To reset back to default use value 3

    Use above features with caution. Using headphone boost for a long time may damage your ears. And do not use speaker boost for a long time. If for some songs you hear crackling of speakers then reset its boost level to 3 or a relatively lower level of 4 or 5



    Q. How to use charger control?
    1. AC current control: In times of hurry I felt the charging times to be too long and so I made this. With this you can control the charging current rate through wall charger.

    Before doing anything you first need to enable the master switch of the control or else the values you write will be negelected

    How to enable master switch
    Code:
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/charger_control/enabled
    After this you can use custom current values like this
    Code: 
    echo X > /sys/kernel/charger_control/custom_ac_current
    where X can be any value in mA (Milliamperes) I use 1600 i.e 1600mA which completes my phone's charging from 3% to 100% in around 1 hour 30 mins.
    The stock current ranges from 1000-1100mA and takes around 2 hour 30 mins to 3 hours. Avoid using values higher than 2200.

    2. USB current control: Everyone knows the charging rate from PC via USB is damn slow. Many new PC's have newer USB ports which can offer current rates higher than 1500mA but still our kernel only pulls 500mA. I made this to control it yourself
    As usual you need master switch enabled to write the new values.

    How to use
    Code: 
    echo X > /sys/kernel/charger_control/custom_usb_current
where X can be any value in Milliamperes. I use 1500 i.e 1500mA

    Q. How to use GPU Voltage Control?
    Currently there are no GPU voltage controlling apps. The upcoming ThunderZap control app supports that.

    Obtain current voltage values
    Code: 
    cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_mv_table

Output will be something like this:
 945 mV
 1050 mV
 1150 mV

    Change these values:
    Code: 
    echo "930 1000 1100" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_mv_table

This will change the voltages as below
930 mV
1000 mV
1150 mV

    Q. I am having abnormal battery drain

    Most of the time the kernel isn't responsible for this.
    a) Make sure you are on stock frequency of 1Ghz. Sometimes the frequency is getting overridden to 1.5Ghz even if you didn't set that. To avoid such situations use frequency lock option from Trickstermod kernel app.
    b) The kernel is not pre-undervolted any more. You can undervolt it on your own. Optimum value is 75mV. Don't undervolt more than that



    Q. How to use extra modules provided

    Best way is to use init.d script to load them on boot.
    e.g If you want to use the NTFS file system module. You have to first place the ntfs.ko module provided in /system/lib/modules. Then you need to create an init.d script in /system/etc/init.d with any name say 99modules with following code
    Code: 
    #!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/ntfs.ko
    Next you need to give that file all permissions and reboot the phone and you are done!
    P.S: Loading external modules affects battery life of the phone.
