This is a kernel for Cyanogen Mod 13 and 12.1, which was originally based on the EvoMix kernel by Alx31, olivieer and SuperHanss. Due to Alx31's lack of time and in order to archive maximum compatibility and to benefit from latest updates, I decided to recreate a new kernel, forked from CM's very latest official one (thanks to qsnc). It has a focus on stability, performance, endurance and overclock-ability (roughly in that order).

It uses the original ramdisk of the installed kernel (thanks to osm0sis), for maximum compatibly in the long run and instant adaptability to most source changes. It should also work with other CM13/12.1 based ROMs, like crDroid and PAC.. Please don't report bugs to qsnc, if you are using this kernel!

Features (compared to CyanogenMod's official kernel):

build using the original Linaro 4.8.5 toolchain

CPU: over/under-clock 1728MHz-192 MHz possible

additional governors: abyssplugv2, alucard, dancedance, darkness, lionheart, nightmare, pegasusq, wheatley

Voltage Control (under-/over voltage)

GPU: over/under-clock 487MHz-27MHz + simple governor

additional file-systems: exFAT, NTFS

intelli-plug hot-plugger and power saver

restrict maximum screen off frequency

Sound Control 3.x (poweramp controls, loudness enhancements)

kernel mode NEON optimizations

optimized AES and SHA1 routines (faster encryption)

compressed by using LZ4 (faster boot)

fsync on/off support (turn of for higher disk performance, but increased risk of data-loss)

KSM support (Kernel Samepage Merging)

multirom compatibility (kexec-hardboot)

fast-charge support (not recommended and only works with dock, not with USB-charger!)

numerous small performance improvements

...

Performance: about 10% faster than original CM12.1-kernel with same settings, and some additional 20% speed by using maximum over-clocked frequencies (use at your own risk, every device is different!)

Configuration: Kernel Adiutor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor) or PerformanceControl 2.2.6 (http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=600#downloads)

Install: just flash the attached zip with TWRP (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-tablet-...very-twrp-2-8-7-0-pollux-polluxwindy-t3187811) or CWM

Uninstall: re-flash the complete ROM (just re-flashing the original kernel is not enough!)

Changelog:

2016-04-08:

removed MSM GPU powerscale (more stable and governor selectable)

removed intelli-plug (outdated and obsolete)

fsync no longer enabled by default

synced with latest official CM13 source (many fixes)

2015-12-21:

fast-charge support (not recommended and only works with dock, not with USB-charger!)

synced with latest official CM13 source

2015-11-28:

initial release

IF INSTALLATION FAILS: If the kernel installation is not working (i.e. installation takes less than 5 seconds and you don't see the new boot-logo), re-flash latest ROM, reboot into recovery and try to install the kernel again!

Install a custom recovery first! The simple CyanogenMod Recovery, which comes with most ROMs, is pretty useless anyway..
