[E 2015 Original Android Development] Hamza Badar:
Hello XDA Members,

I am here with a kernel for Otus. This kernel works on Android 7.x based ROMs

Standard disclaimer :

This product is distributed free of cost and does not come with a warranty. I will not be responsible for anything that may happen to your phone as a result of flashing this kernel. You have been warned !If you come to me saying that this turned my phone into nuclear bomb , I will surely laugh at you !!!

Introduction :

Photon is a fundamental particle of nature which delivers light to us all. It's mindboggling properties like duality, never stopping from being in motion and presence in so many diverse natural phenomena like photoelectric effect, relativity etc. makes the man ultra-curious about it. A photon is born when atoms transition from excited state to ground state. What's the point of this paragraph in a kernel description post?

Well, like a photon this kernel possess duality. How? By giving better battery back up and performance. ( :p ) What about non-resting nature of photons? Yes, the kernel support will never stop until Nougat says good bye. ( :P ). OK now don't ask about analogies regarding photoelectric effect and relativity. ( : D ).

Anyways, now coming to the point I am very much glad to present you, the users of otus, my tiny piece of work for our small beast, .

“The Photon Kernel“

I got very much fascinated by the concept of photons when I studied it for the first time and hence (yes, you've guessed it right!) I've named this kernel Photon.

Enough of the physics class today let's look inside the features of the kernel now ( xD ) :

Features :

1)Compiled with UBER toolchain 4.9

2)Used -O3 and graaphite optimisation flag

3)Added few more governers to stock ones. List of all governers :

Impulse

Ondemand

Ondemandplus

Powersave

Performance

Interactive

Userspace

Smartmax

Lionheart

Nightmare

4)More I/O schedulers.List of all I/O schedulers :

noop

deadline

row

cfq

flops

tripndroid

sio

sioplus

vr

zen

bfq

5)Enable Arch Power

6)Disable Gentle Fair Sleepers

So that’s all for the features as of now. More features will be added in future.

This kernel serves me good for daily use and allowes me to use those governers flawlessly.
