Works like a charm

Just to say. Kitkat runs smoothly here.

Done the unlock, used the kernel from DoomLord, deleted bloatware and apps I dont use, used SDFIX, startup booster, batteryfix, SD Booster, Greenify and rebooted the device like 20 times. No whatsoever slowdown. Very good battery time here.

Great work like always.

Anyone experiencing massive slowdowns? For me, everything is working silky smooth, and all of a sudden everythings lags, even keyboard . After reboot, everything is back to normal

Can you check the RAM usage when things become laggy...

SDFIX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
Startup booster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.startupmanager I use to stop almost everything thats its not needed
Batteryfix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playfulgeeks.gservicefix wait till its battery is fully loaded and follow the steps.
SD Booster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster I tend to set it to 2048
Greenify (I use the paid one) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix Good app to hibernate apps running in the background

Also you need to delete bloatware and such using a File Explorer. Search forum what´s save to delete or keep.

I have also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod running and limited the CPU to 1200. Saves a lot of battery actually.

hello

is is possible to flash your latest kernel with an unlocked bootloader with latest 4.4.2 rooted?
(would it support gamma settings with faux's patch?)

700mb free. . Could some 3rd party app cause such thing cause of incompatability? I'm looking at the list and there's ;
Yahoo weather ,tapatalk, WMU (nikon's remote control app) . Everything else is sony's stuff . I'm guessing there shouldn't be problem with tapatalk ,, maybe unistall other 2 ?

hi does this kernel support an alternative to mp-decision like intelli_plug or other.... i disabled mp-decision to fix audio stutter and it works good but just wanted to enable an alternative which seems to be recommended. thanks.

THIS is pure stock core kernel... so no fancy in-core-kernel features...
