The Xenon Kernel is a project for myself to learn more about Linux and Android Kernel developing. I am a sophmore in High School and I haven't had much developing experience, so this is a learning experience. If you want to use this Kernel, you can show your support by thanking me! Right now all I need is words of encouragement and a new phone (I still have an old Symbian S60v3 phone haha). The Touchpad is my first Android device. Also, this is my second work for the Touchpad, my first is the SUPREME Modpack. I hope to make this my primary development project and improve as much as I can. Thanks for checking this out!

Instructions:

How to Install:

FIRST, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! This can cause serious harm to your system. I am not responsible for anything that may occur to your Touchpad, but everything should be fine.

1. Download the respective installer zip from the above link.

2. Install the zip in ClockWorkMod.

3. Wipe your dalvik-cache

4. Reboot and hope for the best!

IF YOU ARE HAVING SOD ISSUES try setting your CPU Governor to "ondemand"

How to Uninstall:

1. Restore from your backup you were supposed to make

or... if you didn't listen (shame on you... you should always make a backup)

1. Download the XENON Uninstaller from my goo-inside.me profile. This zip deletes the Xenon Kernel and adds back the default CyanogenMod 9 Kernel. It will not, however, delete the ath6kl WiFi drivers (you really don't need to unless you are having WiFi woes). To uninstall the ath6kl drivers you need to reinstall Android.

2. Install it in ClockWorkMod.

3. Wipe your dalvik-cache

4. Reboot!
