So after many nights of headaches and whatnot, finally got a treat for you guys. I introduce to you ButterKAT kernel for the stock 4.4.4 ROM. The initial release is slim in features but I plan on really amping this thing up after I get done with this last week of summer school. Come hell or high water, you need to read this entire thread before you flash anything.

FEATURES:
FAQ:
1. Will this work on LP (Lollipop)?
No, nothing Lollipop will boot from this kernel
2. Can you add [feature]?
I'm willing to bet that nine times out of ten, I've already considered it.
3. When is the next release?
The Golden Root Rule: Never Ask for ETAs
4. Can you clock it higher?
No, I'm not taking it any higher...
5. Is this compatible with Masterchief87's boot switcher?
There isn't one currently available, but I don't believe in stepping into another developer's territory. That's his project, and I won't be making one for this kernel. If he does it, then the answer is yes, there is one. If he doesn't, then no there isn't.
6. Which ZMAX Versions will this boot?
It will boot all of them. I used the MetroPCS 4.4.4 kernel source code to build this and tested it on a T-Mobile ZTE ZMAX. It will work on any stock KitKat ROM, whether that's Butternoob, pure stock or if someone else ever comes along and creates a stock ROM, those too.
