[KERNEL] Starship-Kernel The Next Generation Stock/AOSP & CM-13 04/25/16 (Linaro 4.9)

Welcome to Starship Kernel The Next Generation (TNG) for the Nexus 6 Shamu. Not much else to say other than more than ever the Kernel is by design light wait, power efficient and moves at Warp Speed. There are no special features to play around with but instead designed to just be installed and just work. If looking for things to play around with may as well just move on as this is probably not the kernel for you.

Have shed some light on a few names below but really need to thank all the Nexus 6 Kernel Developers as could not have done much of anything without them. Before this project I had limited Kernel knowledge. Have been developing since I guess my first Rom had been CM6 based but never had much Kernel dealings. Have always worked joining up with a team to get CM or other AOSP like Roms up and running on TouchWiz,. Sense and other devices far from the Stock Android Experience. In working in groups and teams have for the most part always been the Device File & Vendor Blob guy. Everything I have learned about Kernels has honestly come from sifting through other Kernels and researching the hell out of out of commits until being able to stand on my own 2 feet and think so far have done a dam good job putting together a hell of a Kernel for the Nexus 6 that is extremely stable and performs well beyond expectation besides the big ol Jinx I just through out there.

This is now the new and improved Next Generation moving from say warp 6 to warp 9. Would say 10 but some funky stuff goes down at ten and if you dont know lets just say its not a place you wana go.

Definitely need to throw up

thanks

to Flair2, Imoseyon and Neoboddy89 as have used a decent amount of their commits in particular..
