It might help to provide a link because I have no idea what you're talking about. There's only one custom kernel for TW 4.4 and that is ktoonsez's KT747 kernel, it's in Original Development. There are no TouchWiz kernel devs left, so I wouldn't expect any updates.

Thanks for the quick reply. This is XDA's DriveDroid thread, an app which allows a bootable partition to be created from free space, to be read by a PC - a great replacement for thumb drives!
I realize the TW kernel is outdated, and that the AOSP BMS Kernel includes the patch, but this is simply the circumstance - perhaps the patch can be easily added to KT747?
Welcome to Team Kernalizers's SPRINT Thread. This thread will attempt to teach you and show you how to maximize the performance and battery life of your GS3 running the KT747 kernel by Ktoonsez.
In this thread, you will learn everything you need to know about Governors, I/O Schedulers, Underclocking (UC), Overclocking (OC), Undervolting (UV) and the KTweaker application. We will also provide you with pre-configured tweaks to use.
This is a friendly support community. You can post your benchmarks, battery stats, feedback and settings. We will also help troubleshoot any problems that you may encounter while using this kernel and our tweak packages.

Kernel Information
General Installation Instructions (for both TW and AOSP):
1. Download correct version of kernel for your device and rom. This is important as you may brick your phone is you use the wrong version.
2. Flash kernel using your preferred recovery
3. Do the following AFTER installing the kernel and BEFORE you reboot your phone:
a. Clear cache
b. Clear dalvik
c. Fix Permissions
4. Reboot your device.
TW Specific Kernel Instructions:
(can be used with AOSP too)
There are some files on your TouchWiz phone that need to be renamed in order to maximize the battery life of your phone. There has been some debate on whether or not this is necessary, but for now we would recommend renaming these files to ensure that there is no chance of excessive battery drain.
Part 1:
These steps are only necessary on TouchWiz ROMs, however you can also do this on AOSP as well:
1. You must have ROOT. You will need to have a root enabled file explorer on your phone (ES File Explorer works very well and you can get it from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en). When you get it, open it up and go the the settings and scroll all the way down until you see the Root Settings. Go in there and enable ALL of the root settings.
2. After that is done, navigate to your root folders using the Folder Up icon at the top. Once you are in your root folders, navigate to /system/bin and locate the following files. You will need to rename them with a ".bak" at the end of the filename
gsiff_daemon --> gsiff_daemon.bak
mpdecision --> mpdecison.bak
qosmgr --> qosmgr.bak
smd --> smd.bak
smdexe --> smdexe.bak
Renaming these files will not harm your phone. Many users rename these files every time they flash a rom, and no damge is done.
Also, some ROMs come with these files renamed or deleted entirely, so if you don’t find a file, don’t be alarmed.
You have to do this every time you flash the ROM and/or Kernel.
If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself, you can use the TK-MOD (see Downloads section) and it will handle this for you.
Part 2:
Stopping mpdecision from being called:
1. Open terminal emulator and type the following code:
su
2. When terminal emulator asks for root permission hit 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
3. At the # prompt type:
stop mpdecision
Using Rom Toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox) we will make a script that will stop mpdecision from being called at each boot so you don't need to use terminal emulator each time
1. Open Rom Toolbox and scroll down to the Scripter option
2. In the scripter, click the “+” button in the top right corner, then select 'Create'
3. Type a name for our new script, lets call it “stop mpdecision”
4. In the commands enter the following text:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop mpdecision
5. Hit the disk icon to save it
6. Select the script that you just created and a dialog box should pop up, select set at boot
Were done here
AOSP Specific Kernel Instructions:
When coming from a 3.0 Kernel to a 3.4 Kernel there is a new method with kernel updates. Skipping these steps will cause phone instability, due to some bad data left behind. This is a flaw in the Android OS, not the application. You must follow the instructions below (Thanks ktoonzs for the new method of the ktweaker app)
1. Go to Settings on the phone
2. Go to app manager then all apps
3. Scroll down to ktweaker app n open it
4. Once open hit FORCE STOP and then hit CLEAR DATA
5. Reboot and flash your new update of ktoonzs kernel
6. Repeat steps 1-4 in the above “General Installation” section
You should be good to go after that
@Maybelle
I've been following along and will be so bold as to put in my two cents worth. I am a general/vascular surgeon. I got into Android because I was pissed off about a tablet I had that Toshiba wouldn't update. That lead me to y'all in time. I cannot say enough about how much respect I have for the Android and XDA development community. You truely "stick it to the man" while making the platform better.
I have been following the events related to Exit_Only and can say that while I have a hard time understanding the details of what is evolving I do understand that he, as well as all of you on the TK team, have helped me and my ability to communicate with my patients and my colleagues using a phone that does a lot more than its manufacturers or carrier would have it do.
We have "kanging" in medicine too. As a matter of fact it is written into the Hippocratic Oath IMO. What we do not tolerate in medicine is claiming credit for another doctor's work, although we are free to use it to benefit our patients as long as we do not claim glory for ourselves.
Kudos to EO for defending his hard work and kudos to all the rest of y'all for rising to his defense. I would be proud to support a TK website if that is the direction you wish to go in. I only wish I was more knowledgeable and could contribute in a more technical way. With your help I will get there.
Is there an updated download link? When I click on the current link, it states: "Restricted Content
This file is no longer available. For additional information contact Dropbox Support.". Thanks!
