Hi there!

Because of numerous issues found in 3.4.113 kernel, I'm temporarily moving to development on 3.0.101 base.

What is difference between chrono kernel (CK) and CK refresh build? CK was mostly tested on MM-based ROMs, but appeared not to work stably on Android 4.4.x. Aim of this build is to properly enable support for older ROMs (like kitkat), and when done, merge these changes to 3.4.113 kernel.

This build is based upon chrono kernel r4.1 build, so to avoid versions confusion, I'm creating a separate topic.

Features:

CPU, GPU and DDR OC support

more governors and I/O schedulers

Lite kernel - some kernel features moved as modules

F2FS support

ABB-charger tweaks

many others features and tweaks...
