Hi all,
I decided to share my personal custom kernel with all of you. The main reason i started developing this kernel is to balance performance / battery and also add features.
I believe i have included most of the usually requested features. If your feature is not included you can ask for it and i will try to include it as long as you don't ask for ETA's. I am a student and i do this on my spare time.
This kernel is based on LineageOS 15.1 sources for bullhead and has been upstreamed to version 3.10.108.
I also have a 3.10.73 version which obviously is not upstreamed but in my opinion has better battery life. Features remain the same between those two versions.
So let's jump the interesting part!
Sphinx Kernel Features
Special Thanks

Notes
I bear absolutely no responsibility if you brick your device. If you are not sure what a kernel is, how to flash it or how to restore your phone in case something goes wrong then do NOT proceed
