Q1) Will it work on my ROM?
Ans: Yes! It works on all the ROMs available for our device. (Custom/Stock)

Q2) The phone is lagging!
Short Answer: It will ofcourse lag in the beginning for a minute. See the phone speed up after that!
Long Answer: The phone builds the cache and dalvik cache required to run the programs and apps for the device. So it takes around one or two minutes for the device to start-up completely. So just wait for that duration. Then enjoy our kernel
Even then, if it is lagging. it is because of your phone. Try clearing cache from recovery and uninstall some unnecessary apps.

Q3) When will you add feature X?
Ans: We will add them as soon as possible. If you need a feature, you can post that in the feature requests section, or even quote us here! But due to studies, it would require some time.

Q4) Can I use this kernel in my custom ROM?
Ans: You should seek our permission for that. Ask us on Facebook. I may reply fast. Here is my Facebook account: Neil Agarwal And Here is Anil Singh's Facebook Account: Anil Singh

Q5) I am facing white screen! Please help!
Ans: If you face the white screen error, update to latest version of the stock ROM. Then flash the kernel. If you have any other problems, you can quote us here!

Q6) I am not getting signal! I just can see Emergency calls only! Please help! And I have a backup of my EFS Partition and IMEI!
Ans: This is because you have lost your EFS folder. Your Internal SD Card might not work. Your Lock Screen might not work. When you press the power button for a short time, your phone may turn off directly. You may view yellow text on your screen. OK. Enough of info. Now, The Fix:

Restore EFS/IMEI:

• Launch Partitions Backup & Restore App, click on the button beside settings icon.
• Click on Restore a Partition, OK, ES File Explorer, Just Once.
• Browse to External SD Card and select Partitions Backup folder.
• For EFS: Select EFS backup file from the folder and select efs (mmcblk0p3) and click on Restore.

• Repeat steps 1,2,3 and for modem2: Select modem2 backup file from the folder and select modem2 (mmcblk0p11) and click on Restore.
• Reboot mobile.

Q7) My Lockscreen is not working! And I have a backup of my EFS Partition and IMEI!

Ans: Read FAQ Question 6

Q9) I am not getting signal! I just can see Emergency calls only! Please help! And I do not have a backup of my EFS Partition and IMEI!

• Different kernels can support different CPU Governors, which manage the way your phone ramps up or down its clock speeds as you use it.
• There are a few different kinds of Governors.
• To Change an I/O Scheduler, You need an App. The Best One is: No-frills CPU Control
• Go Here For More Reference

I/O Schedulers

• Input/output (I/O) scheduling is a term used to describe the method computer operating systems decide the order that block I/O operations will be submitted to storage volumes.
• I/O schedulers can have many purposes depending on the goal of the I/O scheduler, some common goals are:
• To minimize time wasted by hard disk seeks.
• To prioritize a certain processes' I/O requests.
• To guarantee that certain requests will be issued before a particular deadline.
• To Change an I/O Scheduler, You need an App. The Best One is: No-frills CPU Control

Download link removed. Aroma installer sometimes skips installation of OTA Updater app which is necessary in order to provide future updates of Beast Pro kernel.
Wait till we make a CWM/TWRP flashable zip.
Thanks, Team Beast.

Edit:
Download link added. Features added.
Thanks, Team Beast.

Thanks Abhinav! Hope you enjoyed it!

Try changing the ROM.. It might be a ROM issue.. Also try clearing the cache!

Use SmartassV2 governor with SIO or SIOPlus scheduler for better performance and less lag.

 

[FireLord]

Suggestion

If you like to add this in your updater-script then it will make easier to noobs like me

ui_print("Wiping dalvik-cache");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/data");
delete_recursive("/data/local");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
unmount("/data");
ui_print("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
ui_print("Done..");
ui_print("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
ui_print("Wiping cache...");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8", "/cache");
delete_recursive("/cache");
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
ui_print("Done ");
ui_print("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");

Haha! The history of this kernel.

In october 2014, i released Beast Kernel v1. It was a huge success. Was a basic kernel with not many features. After that i had studies and had to pause development. Also my PC Had broken down.
Later, in may 2015, @anilsingh1605 released his Star Kernel v1 and updated it to v2. It was a great kernel. Seeing him, I too felt the Beast kernel needed an update. Hence i updated it to v2 and later v2.1.
In June, We (Anil Singh and Me) Decided to make the best kernel for our device! We merged our projects and hence, BeastPro Kernel was released!
@emoboy (Official Name!) yea, BeastPro is the best for performance
