[denon480]

Tested new kernel with memory patches.
Just for info, work on kernel dont stop

 

[petrevirgil]

Very very good job... I appreciate your work with this kernel ... I have only one question if is possible, what are the best governor and scheduler to use for a balance between performance and battery?

I personally like ondemand/cfq I find it makes things that tiny bit more responsive like 1080p video recording and scrolling thru my Google Keep widget. Ondemand for me gives some of the best battery.

who have tested this kernel with the rom "N5 four mini" ?????

better than silviu for battery ???

 

[situ1962]

Will this work on I9192?

 

[junnelle]

who have tested this kernel with the rom "N5 four mini" ?????

I'm currently using this with N5 four mini rom, works so awesome, incredible battery life, there is just one problem though, private mode does not work with this kernel, but they said its because of the rom not fully compatible with the kernel., i don't know if this works fine with s6 port 5.1, havent tried yet.
