Any ideas on what could cause battery drain even when the power is turned off to the phone? I'm on Resurrection Remix with this kernel now but have seen the same issue even with Siyah kernel on other roms. I've even replaced the battery with a new stock one for the Bell i9100m. Any ideas what I can use to clean the system - already tried ROMNuke script and flashing back to stock rom before switching to the RR rom.

Some sort of bug where the phone is never truly off?? almost 10% drain over 8 hours with it supposedly off.

I guess the problem still exists on the default kernels and on stock JB? Sounds like your device is aging and the capacitors and the circuitry has probably had it.

In my experience, this kernel has always had better standby time than stock CM kernel for example, so something isn't right.

One issue that I'm not sure if it has already been discussed: on my s2 and the latest kernel (but happened constantly since I upgraded to Android 5.1) sometime the CPU clock seems stuck at 800-900MHz and unable to ramp up to 1500MHz to execute the demanding tasks, CPU is stuck at almost 100% utilization, phone lags but clock does not ramp up (1500MHz is the maximum stable OC with a little OV).

The only way to unlock it is killing some random user app from memory, I'm using the good old "SystemPanel 1.4" which also shows realtime the CPU clock and utilization.

Any possible clue/hints? I didn't tune the kernel that much, apart OC max freq, there's a setting to delay the ramp-down the CPU clock. Governor is Hyper/Conservative for screen-on/screen-off.

I'm not even sure which particular settings should I report here that might be of relevance (don't want to flood the post with a wall of settings).

Hi,

This is the first time I've heard of this issue. The only CPU freq stuck issue I know is the infamous 500mhz idle video record bug.

Does this issue occur on stock frequency? Have you tried reapplying your settings after reflashing the kernel, then wiping the kernel settings? Have you tried using a different governor other than HYPER or conservative?

Saber.

:highfive:New kernel build is up!:highfive:

This build contains security fixes including the DirtyCOW exploit patch.

Here are the changes:
Code: 
DorimanX 12.0 b012 (STABLE)
- Security updates from LineageOS (formerly Cyanogenmod) kernel source
- Change default I/O scheduler to ZEN - CFQ better for hard disks, ZEN is good for flash storage
- Set swappiness to 60 - Should help with low memory problems
- Remove UKSM - The kernel needs to be more in-line with the linux kernel
- Remove Adaptive LMK - Drains more battery without making much of a difference to memory savings
- Remove toggle for Software CRCs and disable by default - Tested safe by other devs so why not?
- Remove power saving workqueues control - Had little to no effect
- Remove Powersave and Performance governors - I don't keep garbage :)

Some important info:
- I won't be testing these changes at all as I believe that nothing should break with these security patches and because I don't use this device as a daily driver anymore
- I will only build Linaro builds as I don't have time to build UBER builds and because I think I should build the kernel with the toolchain that I think is best


Happy flashing :)

Maybe, the s2 that I have inactive is showing its age (battery not holding charge properly) but I might throw a couple more builds before trying to work on lineageos.

Progress update on N kernel

Currently the kernel bootloops on the android bootanimation. I will attempt to find the root cause of this issue (could be selinux related, I've checked logcat and dmesg for hints).

Saber ;)

Edit: Here is the GitHub issue tracker if you want to follow my progress: https://github.com/gsstudios/Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel/issues/75

Cheers..
only hearing that it have going through bootLogo was a big happiness..
If i don't miss-understand that's mean this kernel pass bootLogo and then endlessly looping on bootAnimation without going back to bootLogo, is that right bro??

But, Really thanks to you Saber..
it just a matter of time for you to solve boot animation loop..
Always cheering for your work.. :) :eek:

Edit: By the way, which Nougat_ROM were you using??
Hopefully it was AICP.. :laugh: i'm using that one as for now..

Hi,

Kernel does pass the 'Dorimanx' boot screen and attempts to load CM14.1/LineageOS but is stuck. I haven't had the time to debug much yet as I've spent most of my time merging the required fixes from the LineageOS kernel source.

I am using the latest unofficial LineageOS build for my testing and will only support LineageOS in my kernel builds (when they do come).

Ah, so i'll also use Unofficial LineageOS as primary, and using AICP as secondary for testing..
Ofcourse if the dual boot feature using preload as secondary system still working..

Just take your time.. we'll patiently wait, pal.. :highfive: :victory:

Strange... I haven't tested out this feature so I don't think I have this listed as a known issue. Thanks for reporting.

    Unofficial DorimanX builds by Saber (formerly gsstudios)​

    Development has ended.

    The Background:
    DorimanX development has stopped for a while now. I've been a long term dorimanx user, but I felt that a lot of features need to be implemented into the kernel. As of a result, I decided to make my own personal builds! Please note that I'm no way as good as the master himself, Dorimanx, but I try to implement features to the best of my abilities. Also, I'm not going to be a proper maintainer of dorimanx kernel, this is just what I've done in my spare time.

    If you have problems or if anything goes wrong, you need to reflash your current ROM to revert kernel.

    The Mission:
    To continue giving support for the much loved kernel. New features and additions will be added to improve flexibility and speed to the already amazing kernel. My goal is to improve DorimanX kernel as much as I can, without sacrificing stability.


    DISCLAIMER:
    ONLY FOR AOSP BASED ROMS
    I'm not responsible for bricked devices or wrong version flashing
    You are using this kernel at your own responsibility    ​


    ——— !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!! ———

    ​


    FEATURES:
    This kernel includes the following additional features over stock dorimanX kernel:
    - CPU Governors: HYPER, Ondemand, pegasusQ, Intellidemand, neoX, darkness, nightmare, zzmoove, sleepy, conservative (Default: HYPER)
    - IO Schedulers: ROW, Tripndroid, FIOPS, SIOPlus, BFQ, CFQ, Noop, ZEN, Deadline (Default: ZEN)
    - TCP Algorithms: Cubic, Reno, BIC, Westwood, Highspeed, Hybla, HTCP, Vegas, Veno, Scalable, Lp, Yeah, Illinois (Default: Westwood)
    - Built with Latest Linaro 4.9/UBER 6.1 Toolchains
    - Built-in Stweaks profiles updated (All profiles suit needs for most people now)
    - Trim support (Be careful if you have brickbug affected chip!)
    - Updated FPBug/Musicbug fix is already included in this kernel!
    - BLN and BLNWW support
    - Updated Linux Kernel version to 3.15.0 stable!
    - Freezefix is already included in this kernel!
    - Isorec support
    - Low Latency Audio bugfix is included in this kernel
    - MDNIE mode and scenario tuning
    - F2FS support

    THINGS TO DO:
    - Provide an actual fix for device off battery charging animation
    - Allow users to dirty flash ROM to restore original kernel
    - Fix cache partition wipe on Resurrection Remix ROM

    THINGS I WILL NOT ADD:
    - LZ4 Compression (Our Boot partition is way too small to support this)
    - Useless CPU governors such as Userspace
    - Colour tuning support (Unless someone helps me with this)
    - Recovery version (Will only consider doing this if working on LP kernel)
    - Higher thermal limits (We all know what happens if we do this)
    - Higher overclocking/Lower underclocking capabilities (So you want less stability and more SODs?)
    - Synapse support (Stweaks is the only app that can fully support this kernel)
    - Linux Kernel version updates (My skills need to improve first before taking on something this big)

    CREDITS:
    Dorimanx (the real master of the kernel)
    Gokhanmoral (Siyah Kernel)
    Voku1987(This Kernel)
    Alucard_24(This Kernel)
    STANTRC(This Kernel)
    Entropy512 (CyanogenMod)
    Tungstwenty (On screen gestures addon)
    Torvalds (Kernel 3.6.Y maintainer)
    Computoncio (This Kernel)
    cybernetus (This Kernel)
    stelistcristi (Contents of this post)
    chhapil (For helping me with all of the issues, thanks man)
    Chet Kener (For UBER toolchain)
    Christopher83 (For Linaro custom toolchain)
    Lanchon (For TRIM fix and Isorec for Dorimanx)
    Zeitferne (For FP Bug/Music Bug fix and freezefix)
    Lysergic Acid (For CM12.1, source and fixes)
    Realex-fire (Marshmallow support and kernel fixes)

    DOWNLOAD:
    Refer to third post

    CHANGELOG:
    Refer to second post

    KERNEL SOURCE:
    Source code of the kernel can be found here:
    https://github.com/gsstudios/Dorimanx-SG2-I9100-Kernel
    https://github.com/gsstudios/initramfs3

    ISSUES:
    - Users can not dirty flash ROM to restore original kernel
    - Resurrection Remix users can not wipe cache partition as it will cause bootloops
    - MM support limited to CM13 based roms
    - LP support limited to CM12.1 based roms (Doesn't work with Slimsaber, SlimLP, Omni, Paranoid Android yet)
    - If you reboot your phone, you may experience a large battery percentage drop.
    - All dorimanx bugs

    WHAT ROMS WORK WITH THE KERNEL:
    So far, the kernel works with:
    - Cyanogenmod 13
    - Cyanogenmod 12.1

    --STOP!!! IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ--

    It is important that you make a backup before flashing this kernel. If you want to restore the original kernel found in your ROM, you need to restore from a backup or clean flash your ROM.


    MAKE SURE YOU'RE DOWNLOADING THE RIGHT KERNEL. OTHERWISE YOU COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!

    For TRIM users:
    To use TRIM, you can download an app on the app store called trimmer or use terminal commands as directed in the troubleshooting guide.

    Isorec (Isolated Recovery)
    Starting from build b022, I have introduced isorec into DorimanX kernel. You can use either TWRP or CWM. It is important to note that the default CWM recovery has kernel specific options within the menus, so if you require to use them, be sure to flash the isorec disabler.

    Download for isorec recoveries:
    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=47550

    If you have a dualboot setup or if you want to set up dualboot, you should stay on StanTRC recovery. If you want to return to StanTRC recovery, flash the isorec disabler:
    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960682947

    Forgot to download backup/older kernel/isorec disabler after flashing TWRP?
    Go to download mode and flash a kernel .tar file OR wait until OS boots and copy required files to your phone

    Which build should I use?
    Linaro 4.9: Use this build for best stability. Battery life is better than UBER 6.1 and is the smoothest. Most users should use these builds.
    UBER 6.1: Use this build for best performance. UBER 6.1 contains bleeding edge optimizations that may not be fully reliable yet, so this toolchain is better suited for advanced users.

    Go with the build that is the best for you. You are the one that is making the changes so you are responsible for choosing what experience you want with the kernel! If you are still not sure which build to choose, use the Linaro 4.9 build first.


    Beta builds and stable builds will only be uploaded on AFH and github.

    In order to tweak the kernel properly, you need to install stweaks from the play store, or from the apk linked here, or from the XDA downloads page, or from the apk in the attachments below:

- Updated exfat modules from Dorimanx's source
- Added and enabled temperature export for zzmoove
- Changed the default hotplug method for zzmoove to Alucard. Force native zzmoove hotplug disabled - Intelliplug doesn't hotplug for zzmoove, only Alucard works.

[B]DorimanX 12.0 b003 (BETA)[/B]
- More ZRAM tweaks have been added for better ZRAM performance - max_comp_streams=2 and force LZ4 algorithm

If not, kernel will hang making it possible to diagnose random reboots
- Merged many f2fs fixes and improvements from mainline linux kernel - F2FS is functional, but there are some problems we need to fix
- Minor selinux fixes 
- Removed broken features from stweaks - Root options and kernel update check

- sched.h: Changed LOAD_FREQ calculation
- UBER builds are now being built with latest UBER 6.1 with Cortex-A9 optimizations - I forgot to change the UBER version string from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0, but you can just look at GCC version for proof :)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b038 (BETA)[/B]
- OOM and LMK fixes thanks to realex-fire
- HYPER cpu gov synced with latest changes from Dorimanx's G2 kernel
- Changed the default I/O scheduler to BFQ - After some testing, I have found BFQ to be slightly more responsive compared to CFQ

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b037 (BETA)[/B]
- Reverted o3 flags - This fixes the high power consumption from the last build and large kernel size
- We will no longer see UBER 5.3 builds. 
- Reverted more VM tweaks
- General stability fixes 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b036 (BETA)[/B]
- Default I/O scheduler changed back to CFQ
- Compiler optimisations thanks to @chhapil - Dori kernel was missing a lot of optimisation flags after kernel was updated past 3.12 linux kernel. Now we finally get them back :)
- The kernel is now compiled with the -o3 optimization flag - Increased kernel size, better performance

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b035 (STABLE)[/B]
- Various security updates and stability fixes pulled from CM13 kernel
- LMK will now kill system and protected (root) apps and services to prevent kernel crash - This fixes Launcher FC bug and poor RAM performance
- Stweaks updated with material design thanks to @Skyline! 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b034 (BETA)[/B]
- Added support for GCC 6.0 toolchains. We will see how UBER 6.0 experimental builds go
- Default I/O scheduler changed to ZEN
- lowmemreserve ratio changed back to default values

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b033 (BETA)[/B]
[COLOR="Red"]Your stweaks profile will be reset automatically once you flash this build[/COLOR]

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b032 (BETA)[/B]
[COLOR="Red"]It is recommended to reset your stweaks profiles to ensure you get the best stability [/COLOR]
- Fixed lots of stweaks descriptions. Matched all non-matching default value descriptions
- Removed relaxed lowmem_reserve_ratio option. Our device doesn't have more than 600MB of free RAM :)
- Merged many changes from CM13 kernel
- Reverted LMK profile and made it less aggressive. We'll see if this helps with Launcher FCs. Note: It is not recommended to decrease swappiness!
- Increased swappiness to 50. We need LMK to do less work otherwise apps will just suddenly close. - Slightly less battery life, better multitasking
- UBER 5.3 Toolchain updated to March build
- zzmoove will now use intelliplug as the default hotplug method

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b031 (BETA)[/B]
- Added MDNIE override toggle. If your settings don't apply, just re-enable this toggle and make changes again. 
- hyper gov updated with DorimanX LG G2 LP thanks to realex-fire - Better balance between performance and battery life. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b030 (BETA)[/B]
- Updated sio to sioplus iosched - Thanks to DorimanX. Now it is working as it should and stweaks doesn't freeze anymore! :) - Better performance and multitasking
- Merged many changes to zzmoove. Thanks to @zanezam - Bug fixes, performance/battery life improvements
- A few other minor kernel changes were merged from linux mainline kernel - Bug fixes, stability improvements

- Match stweaks descriptions with actual default values
- Merged updates to CFQ io scheduler - Better performance
- Disabled MMC CRC check - Better I/O performance
- Deleted all zipalign functions! it's no longer supported with ART in LP. - Fixed possible nasty bug that would have deleted all app symlinks in /data/app. Before zipalign was enabled by default for performance profiles! Now all good :)
- Stweaks profile will be reset!
- Remove all fix permissions functions. It is old and broken. Lollipop is much more advanced compared to jellybean 4.3 so there is much less chance of apps breaking after a ROM update.
- CORTEX: move OOM fix to cortex to set on each wakeup. Thanks to DorimanX. Before this, the default ROM OOM values were being used after boot, the kernel was not always overriding ROM values and causing slower performance. This fixes this issue.

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b028 (STABLE)[/B]
- Merged a few kernel updates from CM13
- Removed ability to tune vfs_cache_pressure. This is required for cortexbrain to function properly. If you tune it, the kernel script will not run!
- Adaptive vfs_cache_pressure values synced with DorimanX LG G2 LP values. - Better performance, more free RAM, slightly less battery life

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b027 (STABLE)[/B]
- Updated OOM profiles to better match CM Marshmallow and DorimanX LG G2 LP values
- UBER 5.3 Toolchain updated to 01/02/16 build

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b026 (BETA)[/B]
- Merged many workqueue updates from linux mainline kernel - Improvements to stability, performance and battery life
- Merged updates to tcp_yeah
- Disabled auditd service to remove selinux related logspam 
- Low latency audio fix will be applied on boot. DorimanX doesn't support low latency audio which causes games using recent unity versions to sound horrible. Thanks to @dualjoe. If you want to re-enable low latency audio, reflash rom and use different kernel! 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b025 (BETA) - LAST BUILD FOR NON-TRIM AND UBER 4.9[/B]
- Synced chhapil's zram updates 
- LZ4 is set as the default algorithm for zram. I have properly checked now and it is all good. You can see this under /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm, where the algorithm inside the brackets is the active one. 
[COLOR="Red"]- This will be the last build for NON-TRIM and UBER 4.9. TRIM should be used by everyone and UBER 4.9 is just unnecessary extra toolchain. 
[/COLOR]- Changed default I/O scheduler to CFQ. This was Samsung's default choice and it was a good choice. LP needs as much I/O performance we can get, so simpler schedulers are not that great :)
- Merged many zram updates up to what the kernel can allow. This is the max zram can update to before causing build errors. 
- UBER 5.3 builds will be moved to the UBER main folder. Not experimental anymore :)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b024 (BETA)[/B]
- BLN is properly fixed now without having to modify install script thanks to realex-fire
- Fixed stweaks not installing on kernel install thanks to realex-fire
- Many other changes to kernel init system thanks to realex-fire
- LZ4 support on the ZRAM thanks to @chhapil. Changed default compression to LZ4. Before we were using LZO which was slower but gave slightly better compression. LZ4 is much faster but gives slightly worse compression. TL;DR, better performance :) Edit: Wasn't sure if it was really enabled by default because there was no way to check. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b023 (BETA)[/B]
- BLN is now working!!! I simply updated the updater-script to delete old lights.exynos4.so from ROM and add new one to /system/lib/hw. Thanks @charlie8104 and @arnab If BLN doesn't work, reflash the kernel and make sure to reapply BLN after boot. This should fix BLN for most people :)
- sched: Set MC (multi-core) sched domain's busy_factor attribute to 1. This will increase CPU performance. 
- fixed compilations warnings thanks to @chhapil

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b022 (BETA)[/B]
- Changed swappiness drop down to slider. Allow users to select a more precise percentage. 
- Limit boot booster frequency to a max of 1.4Ghz. Anything higher will cause many devices not to boot :) Plus there are very few CPUs out there that can run higher than this config. 
- Added lowmem_reserved_ratio tuning to stweaks thanks to @dorimanX. A higher ratio will give you more free RAM if you see that your free RAM is always loaded and device LAG, but it's also uses more battery to gain more free RAM with loaded system. Please don't use the relaxed setting as you will run out of RAM very easily. 
- Isorec recovery support. Many thanks to lanchon who has been working with me for the past few days. If you require to dualboot, don't use isorec recovery. I have linked the isorec disabler for people who want dualboot/dorimanx recovery. Also, TWRP can't mount USB storage so you won't be able to transfer files between PC, go back to CWM to fix this. We have isorec on DorimanX :) However this is still a WIP. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b021 (BETA)[/B]
- Synced missing cortexbrain changes and typo fixes from KK initramfs 
- zzmoove will now use alucard as the default hotplugging driver. 
- Add toggle for power efficient workqueues. Enable to save power, disable for performance. Fixed parameter permissions. If you disable this, Cortexbrain will automatically switch on this during sleep state to save battery. Avoid using Kernel Adiutor to set this value as stweaks can do this properly.

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b020 (STABLE)[/B]
- Full update to 2016 January CM12.1 Ramdisk - Stability improved, smoother operation and better experience. Thanks realex-fire!
- Bugs fixes and dorimanx features fixed from previous ramdisk updates

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b019 (BETA)[/B]
- GCC 5.x support. Starting from this build, we will see UBER 5.3 experimental builds for those who want the best performance they can get. Thanks @chhapil
- Toolchain GCC Version is also included now in zip file name so we don't get confused
- Ramdisk updated once again to CM12.1 October 15th build
- Remove root installer and remover from stweaks to prevent people from breaking root

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b018 (STABLE)[/B]
- Many changes to the LMK/OOM management. Synced values with DorimanX LG G2 and CM12.1. Now much more aggressive than before. Prior to this was the reason why we had such bad RAM management.
- All profiles are now set to default OOM settings. Default is now the same as the settings found in stock CM12.1. 

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b017 (BETA)[/B]
- Fixed all issues found in previous build
- Bring back SIO scheduler, deleted SIOPlus (Doesn't work on DorimanX)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b016 (BETA) - BUGGED AND REMOVED[/B]
- Synced missing futex updates from Linux 3.15 stable
- Reduced swappiness from 40 to 20 (ZRam will only be used under heavy load, rather than in medium loads)
- UBER toolchain updated to 2016-01-11 build
- This build will be built with Linaro and UBER (From now on, I will be naming builds with the selected toolchain)
- Updated SIO to SIOPlus 
- tick: Fix a bug which impacts CPU frequency scaling

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b015 (BETA)[/B]
- Reduced swappiness from 60 to 40 (Will only swap when under heavier loads, before it was too aggressive) 
- Includes latest LP freeze fix patch from Zeitferne (Note: This is not the final fix, this is an attempt to solve current freeze issues. If you want to help debug, use the proper kernel given by Zeitferne!)
- This build will be built with Linaro and UBER

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b014 (BETA)[/B]
- Enabled zram and set zram to 300MB by default 
- Synced all net, TCP Cubic, ipv4, ipv6 and mutex updates from KK branch
- Change the VM_MAX_READAHEAD value to 512KB for best throughput
- Upstreamed kernel version to 3.15.0 stable! Lots and lots of fixes for various parts of the kernel, once again, thanks to realex-fire for contributing! ;)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b013 (BETA) - Linaro[/B]
- This build is built with latest Linaro 4.9 from Christopher83
- Comes with all changes from original b013 release

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b013 (BETA)[/B]
- Synced missing changes from KK branch thanks to @Realex-fire
- Reverted initramfs changes from CM12.1 (Not required to get CM12.1 running smooth, I think this introduced issues)
- Updated UBER toolchain to 20151031 build

- Changed OOM behavior so it is more aggressive, this would be a big advantage for people with lots of apps running! 
- Last release built with UBER toolchain

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b012 (BETA)[/B]
[B]This is a long awaited update that should make cyanogenmod experience better again!!![/B]
- Changed toolchain back to UBER 4.9 and updated to latest version
- Updated Cyanogenmod ramdisk to October 15th
- Fixed all zzmoove tunables in stweaks. I'm not adding more tunables for zzmoove since it will cause stability issues. 
- proper zzmoove profile switching has been added (previous solution was more of a workaround). 
- Allow tunable mode for zzmoove (It's just no profile set, this is required if you want to manually adjust zzmoove values)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b011 (BETA)[/B]
- Revert Custom profiles 1, 2 and 3 and related fixes
- Revert GPU changes
- Updated default profile
- Revert Partitions and Root tab

- More work on Wifi-driver to get Ad-hoc networks working (Still not working yet)
- Many minor changes to stweaks descriptions
- Updated kernel update check function (Doesn't work yet, I think it's because there is 2 'v' in the kernel version and build version, in other words it is a WIP!)
- We're moving back to Linaro 4.9 (Less bugs, more performance!)

[B]DorimanX 11.0 b005 (BETA)[/B]

    I am excited to announce DorimanX 12.0 b002, now with CM13 support!!!

    We've been working endlessly on this kernel to get it working on CM13 and now we have a working kernel! Many thanks to Realex-fire for helping me.

    I have tested this kernel on CM13 for some time now and it has been stable. I still need to test if every feature is working correctly, but so far it is working fine.

    If you've installed BLN-MOD, make sure to change the settings back to default and remove synapse otherwise hardware buttons will always stay on until you switch off the screen.

    Selinux is now enabled and set to permissive by default. Wifi driver was updated to 1.141.44, let me know if you experience any issues with wifi. VPN has been fixed (tested on MM using Hola VPN and Hotspot Shield).

    We haven't forgotten about CM12.1 users, CM12.1 users will also get the benefits of the CM13 changes as well. And yes, this is CM12.1 and CM13 support from the one kernel!

    There were many other improvements, too many to list (see changelogs).

    Happy flashing! - gsstudios

    I've been away from development for a while now. So I decided to make a build that removes pretty much all unnecessary commits such as the custom profiles and more tweaks to GPU. Overall, the kernel should be much more stable. This might be the last build ever (this time for real) before I have my exams (in 1 month time). Thanks guys for your support!!!! :)

    gsstudios.

    Update: Build b011 is out!
