Again, I am giving answer to my question :) The kitkat kernel battery drain issue is because of akm8963 driver (magnetic field) which prevent system to suspend. I can solve the deep sleep problem but can not find the source code of kitkat kernel. So I wrote a init.d script and a program to solve this issue indirectly. By this script and program, I got %1 per hour battery time (3g/wifi closed) while screen off.

I modified a rom (Lite-kat) for Piranha Zen (clone of a117) with this script and program. We can use a117 roms with piranha zen, vice versa should work also, you can try. A small modification must be done to script code, max cpu freq. value for piranha zen and a117 are different. İf you send the min and max freq. values of your cpu, I can change the script.
You can find the rom here.

max frequency is 1500 n min frequency is 497.
Yes, something like them, but I need the exact numbers, you can find them (if you are rooted) on "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies" file. The first number is max freq, the last one is the min freq. I think our min values are same: 497250. if you send the max value, I can change it.

Have you tried this rom?
whats the battery back up?
As I said 1% per hour screen off, and with continuous video play I got 6:30 screen time (cpu is mostly 497 while playing). I didn't try heavy cpu load like games. if you try, share with us. Is rom working with a117?

Can u gaive us the script and program so it can be used for other kitkat roms also.
Thnx!
The script and the program are inside the rom that i gave the link for. But it is not stable with all roms, i am uploading the stable roms. And developing the program in order to be stable with all roms.
Do you have chance to try the Lite-kat rom, is it working on a117?
