Hi. Всем привет.

First of all, sorry for my English, sometimes I use Google Translate. I come from 4PDA forum and I want to share what happened to me.
I used malakas non oc for very long time, but I wanted to change to another kernel, since I heard that the developer stopped bringing updates, which made me chose another kernel. Someone recommended me Disrupt kernel for battery life. In the first day I felt that the battery went really bad, so I tried a clean flash my rom. Things went a little better, and I kept using it, until one day, when my phone started heating up. It got to 45C and I didn't even used my phone. I shut it down, but it was getting worst. I got scared, and put it into something cold so it can cool down. I let it there for like 3 mins, was better but then I started my phone and I saw that it was getting fast to 47C. I couldn't do anything. Stopped and put back to cold. After 10 min I restarted, and it had 50C. After just 2 min it got to 52C, the phone was VERY HOT! I called my friend and he told me to disconnect the battery. Well, last time I saw my battery showed 54C, so I had nothing else to do. I opened the phone, and disconnected my battery. IT WAS RUINED! I was not playing on the phone, mostly for VK, Instagram, youtube and calls, also the phone was NEW, barely used and in a very good condition, not droped or water damaged. Hardly I got it out, and my phone slowly cooled down. I bought another battery, installed Franco and now thinking to flash another kernel but I'm scared. Here is a picture about the battery, I was wearing glowes too so I don't burn myself. Happily my phone is ok now, and still works good.

Be careful guys with your phones. Now they told me not to flash a kernel from a noname dev, and I should always chose Franco, Arter or from someone well known!

Cool story

If you think the kernel caused the problem you could've gone Into recovery and reflashed your stock kernel.
I shut down my phone and it was still heating. I don't think reflashing kernel could fix it. It was too late anyways, and I didn't had time to think what to do. I did the easiest way and I'm glad I did that. Battery was a disaster, look pic.
