There are two branches:
Stable - which has all proven and tested development
Beta - new features introductions. Remember if your chip fries... It was done with good intentions, intended only for brave people.

To build this kernel I give a huge thank you to great dev @savoca has had a lot of patience and shared his knowledge to build a kernel with a step by step guide, as also explaining how each stuff works.
@andi79 for the introduction of the 64bit model kernel compilation.

All credits go to the OnePlus team.

Disclaimer: With the use of this kernel I am not responsible for any damage to the phone. It is at your own risk in case happens something wrong. I use this kernel daily and test it before release.

Troubleshooting :
No wifi or broken hotspot.
Solution: You probably come from another kernel, please reflash rom, then flash kernel.

Battery drain:
This rom has a bug in the wifi. Please go to advanced settings and turn off scanning always available.

On status appears kernel 4.4.21
Since there is a requirement to the kernel say that is version 4.4.21-perf+ for wifi to work then I named the kernel 4.4.21-perf+. This until I check wifi driver source.
