stock JellyBean 4.1.2 FW

.245/254- v02, v03, v04

.284- v01

bootloader unlocked

working fastboot

android app for overclocking like SetCPU (paid) or NoFrills CPU Control (free)

[ how to install my kernel ] (via recovery)

download the kernel package update.zip

save the package update.zip to sdcard (of phone)

reboot phone and enter recovery

flash the kernel package update.zip

reboot phone and enjoy the kernel ;)

[ how to install my kernel ] (via fastboot)

download the kernel package update.zip

save it on c:\ and extract the kernel.elf from the package

save the kernel.elf to the folder containing fastboot binary

flash the kernel.elf using fastboot:

fastboot flash boot kernel.elf

reboot from fastboot

fastboot reboot

the device should now start booting, enjoy the kernel ;)

FOR OVERCLOCKING

start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur phone (or any other app which supports overclocking) (u may get a popup asking for SuperUser permissions, click ok/yes/allow)

now slowly increase the MAX slider to the right (one notch at a time) to increase the maximum frequency limit

DO NOT JUMP TO THE LAST POSSIBLE FREQUENCY

SLOWLY increase the frequency one notch at a time and do stability/testing for few hours
