NEW BUILD IS UP !!!:)
[ 14 June, 2015. Version --> R3 ]
New features added :-
** 6 cpu govs removed (check changelog for their names) **
This was done to prevent cpu clock @ 384 MHz during boot. Will add them later after some tuning.
** Simple GPU Algorithm added **
** Intellithermal v2 added **
** Added msm hotplug, alucard hotplug & intelliplug **
and many more............
CHECK CHANGELOG for full details
E _N_J_O_Y !!!;)

Thanks for the new build, its always good to be updated with CM's kernel source. I don't like requesting features but can you add GPU OC/UC and CPU UC? its present on Optimus Kernel and attacked kernel and its really handy when you need battery, the GPU OC helps on some games too. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I installed it for the very first time!

I am using latest beta version of Adiutor and I don't see any options for Battery on it, I can't enable Fast Charge. Is a software issue or Kernel?

Ehm... I don't see fast charge in kernel feature list

EDIT: if you are talking about what is written in recommended settings read carefully... It is copied from stellar kernel thread

@zakee94 Hi, I have some things to report.

1. Incorrect frequency set to the following governors: yankactive, smartmax, intellimm, impulse, zzmoove
2. zzmoove CPU governor has no default profile selected
3. No default hotplug driver selected.

And last, deleting any previous kernel script in root directory will not keep it from being re-created on next boot., you must wipe system partition (experienced this). Hope this info helps to improving the kernel. Cheers :highfive:.

Thanks for pointing out the errors...I'll surely look into them and fix them in my next update.
As about the script, even I found out that they re-create on boot, leaving wiping the system as the only option. I've updated the OP regarding this.

Thanks a LOT for such a statement...:D:good:
However I must tell you (and you seem to know very well) :- NEVER EVER QUOTE THE WHOLE OP.

You are facing this issue on all calls or some calls ??
However flash the attached zip, it should fix all issues.

First --> It is very wrong to publish links of sites on XDA from where pirated/cracked/modded apps can be downloaded. PLEASE DONT DO THAT EVER AGAIN.
Second --> I mentioned a few posts ago that fast charge is NOT there in kernel and I'll add it later. So no app can enable that unless its there in the kernel.

    FAQ

    FAQ​

    This kernel does not have X, Y or Z feature. Please add it !
    No such requests shall be entertained.
    For this device the closer to stock we are, the better it is. Hence no need for "fancy" useless features/tweaks. The main aim of halogen is to bring performance without compromising stability & battery. And that is what I intend to do.
    AND if you really want this or that feature which is not there in halogen, please feel free to compile your own builds.

    Oh no ! I encountered a BUG !
    Upload the file named last_kmsg that located in /proc/last_kmsg. It contains kernel logs. Clearly state the bug / what you experienced along with your current kernel settings. Bug reports without logs will be ignored.

    Recommneded settings ?
    Halogen is pre-configured for best. For custom settings please google, do some research and you are encouraged to post your own settings in this forum. You can start here.

    My battery drained overnight !! Look at these screenshots...
    Not a halogen fault. The kernel does not “drain” battery. On Android devices, the kernel provides a mechanism for keeping the phone awake, called a wakelock. Processes running on the device (e.g. apps and services) can ask the kernel for a wakelock, and the kernel will oblige. So yes, the kernel is technically keeping the phone awake, but only because an app or service has asked it to. It is these apps and services that are misbehaving and causing drain, not the kernel. Doze mode, introduced in Android Marshmallow, is designed to limit the time that apps and services can wake up the device.
    All thanks to @flar2 for his excellent post.
