FAQ

what's the difference in this kernel?

decipher_kernel will focus mainly on stability, before each update the kernel undergoes heavy testing to ensure the least errors possible, this means that features may come and go if they're potentially unstable.

Why no CPU underclocking?

CPU underclocking tries to save power by reducing the cycles a CPU undergoes in one second (Hz) It's not available in decipher_kernel for one reason: Lower frequencys like 192MHz or 96MHz use the same voltage as 300MHz, so there is no apparent power saving.

Why no CPU overclocking?

Implementing this feature in the source code can (and has) be done, nevertheless REAL overclocking is not possible due to hardware level limitations.

Can't flash the kernel? or kernel doesn't apply when flashing?

Try placing the .zip file in the root of internal storage and flash from there, also rename the zip file to something that includes no special characters or spaces ( example: kernel.zip ), some users have reported this solves this issue. If you're getting an error executing updater binary, just wipe system and flash again. As a last resort, try wiping System partition and reflash ROM.
