[KERNEL][4.4.4] HodorKernel [.283/.292][ABANDONED]

Olivier · Nov 27, 2014

PREAMBLE
I have created this kernel because I needed something simple, but also features.
PLEASE NOTE: This kernel is intended for ROMs based on 10.5.A.0.283/292 only. Do not flash it on any AOSP firmware.
Please don't post bug reports if you don't use this kernel with a 10.5.A.0.283/292 ROM. They'll be ignored.

PLEASE READ
How to report a bug?
Include the following in your bug report:

The ROM you are currently using + a link to the ROM's thread
A log, preferably dmesgs or kmsgs (use Google to find out how to pull these from your device)
The version of HodorKernel you use (=date, e.g. 20141104)

Bug reports not meeting these requirements will be ignored.

NO BUG REPORTS ON EXPERIMENTAL BUILDS!

Feature Request

Hi, would you please add doubletap2wake? I think I would like to try your kernel for multirom but I need that feature as I already got used to waking up my device like that on xzkernel. Thank you.

Please not! DT2W causes so many problems, even if it`s turned off!

But it works extremely well on Xzkernel v26 and yes there was indeed some issues like, the phone will wake up itself when in pocket but it all works fine now on v26. No one is complaining about that anymore...

I had still huge probs with V26 and reverted back to stock kernel therefore!

I think the best solution would be a version with and one without dt2w,
but that`s not our decision!

cotrec · Sep 3, 2014 at 10:24 AM

so far this kernel so cool and stable

kael2404 · Sep 3, 2014 at 3:02 PM

There is a bug: when you change GPU frequency in TricksterMOD it's reverting to 400 MHz

BeDesireS · Sep 3, 2014 at 3:24 PM

Kernel works like a charm and battery life is great!
Many thanks for this!

Did you uninstall xz kernel via aroma first?

It might be the WiFi drivers that come with xz kernel and you must uninstall the kernel via aroma installer first to get a clean base for the new kernel.

Ok thank you

Edit: so i uninstalled the xz kernel but now after rebooting I lost the recovery, how can i do now?

Will test it tomorrow!

Also, please do not include double tap to wake, really, it is the only rason than I revert to stock from XZKernel, it works for people than keeps their phone on the table, but for many others than have to use it in the pocket is a pawnfull feature. :/
