[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Okay, so we all know how good Mpokang kernel is. Unfortunately the dev hasn't been active and people have been modifying his kernels to make them work on 4.4 (KitKat).

This a thread which looks exactly like the original Mpokang thread, but the only difference being that it contains the download links to the Mpokang kernels which work on Android 4.4 KitKat. I have absolutely no contribution in the development of this kernel and if you like Mpokang, then please don't thank me, rather go to THIS THREAD and thank the OP. And the entire credit for this goes to [MENTION=4328678]metalspring[/MENTION] as he has been the one who modified the Mpokang kernels to make them work on KitKat.

Note

TouchControl/PGM works only on SuperRam. TouchControl/PGM will not work on CM version or 1080p version.​

Mpokang kernel​

This kernel focuses on MAX USABLE RAM. As we know, the GNex has 1GB of RAM. A big part of it (300+ MB) is reserved for various things.

Is it really needed? No, it looks like that actual usable RAM can be much much more.

Feature List:

Many features, just as many as every other kernel. The differentiating points of this kernel are:

1) First kernel with the pioneering RAM reclaiming: from 693 --> 773 MB RAM.

2) Most available RAM: Still has the most RAM available.

3) Flexibility: Choose any of the 3 variations that suits you

4) Sophisticated ZRAM mechanism: zsmalloc from Linux kernel 3.11, enhanced zram mem operations

5) First and only kernel at the moment with huge 50%+ memory performance boost

As of v10, three (3) variations of Mpokang kernel for everyone to choose according to his needs.

Performance is the same, only the available RAM changes:

SuperRAM: 773 MB RAM -- Some rare video apps (or the gay CM video camera) may not work properly.

CM "gay" :silly: : 762 MB RAM -- All video apps work OK but still 720p, suitable for CM based roms.

1080p version: 751 MB RAM -- 1080p fully working, compatible with everything, even Android 4.2.2. Does not contain ramdisk. Clean rom installation required.

Valuable Notes

Note 1: Many redundant and practically useless stuff is removed. Badass sounding governors and schedulers, which don't actually offer anything were removed.

Note 2: Interactive gov from kernel 3.4, hyper gov and SIOPlus, deadline and row are the best out there. Maybe FIOPS on the future.

Note 3: In general .. more useless stuff removed equals more RAM. This does not apply to the SuperRAM variation, where many many features can be added as modules without reducing the available memory.

FAQs:

Q: When using SuperRAM version I have trouble running apps like Video editor, video calling in some apps.

A: Some rare apps don't like this extreme RAM reclaiming. Use another variation.

Q: My screen colors seem a bit changed. Even if I change them like I used to in TricksterMod...

A: It's because of Purple Tint Fix. Many users experience that ugly tint, and this kernel cures it. Slightly change your color settings in Trickster. If, whatever you do, the colors look bad, report it here and I will see what I can do.

Q: I want the full 1GB of RAM. Is this possible?

A: No, full 1GB is unachievable (with TI's ION code). But if someone is willing to drop all the media support (camera, video, media playback) close to 900MB is achievable.
