If you can read the thread title itself its clearly written [7.x] that means its only for 7.x based roms! Not for 8.0 roms

Just curious, what does the line "Added Fingerprint boost driver. Thanks to @frap129's FP driver" mean. I mean, if it is something related to go gestures????

Forgive me for asking if this makes no sense.

Thank You for great work!

Brother can this kernel fix the cpu frequency stick to 2016 mah bug? Coz when ever i use any kernel tool cpu frequency sticks to 2016mah to fix i have to reboot.

Nope no gesture, but the FP unlock is now snappy efficient (AICP rom). Had to tap wice on it most of the time before that.
Well done and thanks.

Just reflash your rom to revert back to stock kernel

In case some one wants to know more about Lionfish

Summary:
PERFORMANCE: GREAT, BATTERY LIFE: GREAT, COMPATIBILITY: GOOD

Description:
The Lionfish governor combines traits of the conservative, ondemand, and interactive governors. It is designed to maximize battery life without noticeably impacting performance. It responds quickly to heavy loads while staying within the region of optimal CPU performance per watt. With moderate loads, it periodically votes to raise, maintain, or decrease the frequency. When there are enough votes to change the frequency, it is ramped up and down gradually. The voting mechanism reduces frequency jitter compared to ondemand and conservative. squid2's testing had found that this governor uses moderate frequencies (where efficiency is optimal) more effectively than interactive, ondemand, and conservative. This improved frequency distribution results in a moderate reduction in CPU power consumption while maintaining responsiveness comparable to the interactive governor.

No, you don't need to flash the entire ROM. Only flash the backup boot image because the kernel resides inside the boot sector.

Added wait for the next update!
