thank master, you're the best :)

PeNdEjO said...

I'M back to "eco version" because the "governors" can't stay in "intellidemand" after selecting it. Every boot the "governors" changes from "Intellidemand" to "ondemand" or "performance"

Lightning fast kernel, probably the fastest one I have come across. Using it since last two days and haven't face any issue yet.
I want to replace its CWM recovery with TWRP recovery. Is it possible, if yes then how to??
Thanks a lot bro. Keep up the good works.

Noel Macwan said...

Thanks a lot Rahul,
will combine the upcoming kernel with TWRP soon .
Cheers !!

Hi,
I am using this kernel since last 16 days, as I said earlier it is lightning fast, no lags, despite of being overclocked no over heating issue. Battery service is quite good, no high drainage issue.
Now there is a little problem that I am facing, whenever I am trying to extract zip/rar file via Zarchiver or Es file explorer's archive, extracted folders and files are getting names added with special characters such as π,$,# etc as suffix. Moreover I am unable to delete these files and folders because it's showing permission is denied to delete this file. I flashed another kernel of your's and this problem was not there in that kernel. I reverted back to this one and the problem started again. Please suggest solution to fix this issue ASAP. I want to stick to this one.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards & best wishes.

Will it work on CM11. I have a C2005 on CM11 and i want to flash this kernel ASAP. If not then which OC kernel will work on it.

Noel Macwan said...

Use this kernel for CM11 or CM11 based ROMs

Will this CM11 kernel work on dual sim model C(2005) as there is only one download link and it is not labelled whether it is for single sim model or dual sim model. Waiting for your response. Keep it up!

Hello, is the problem with extraction (extracted folders and files are getting names added with special characters such as π,$,# etc as sufix) fixed?
