Hello everyone , this is my personal Android 4.4 kernel . I figured I'd share it with everbody since it seems to be working good . anyhow flash it if you want , its anykernel format so should be ok on any kitkat rom .
ALL credit and thanks should be directed to VanirTeam and any developers who's commits I used ( alot )
heres a few things about it
-- Linux 3.0.101
-- Forked from jimsth/vanir_tuna
-- Added some things I use ( governors and schedulers ) , some performance commits
-- Built with Linaro 4.7.4 toolchain -O3 optimized, graphite , link-time opt.
Why Six three kernels?
More choice for different users and different user activity.
What's the difference between the 6 three kernels?
DirtyV versions are the ones where you 1080p recording works.
SR versions are the "SuperRAM" versions where a lot of RAM has been reclaimed. You get more RAM, but you need to give up 1080 recording, as a trade-off.
The 3rd one is @bsmitty83 's own build that he's running for his tests. You can use this and feel like a developer.
This one might not have all the governors/freqs/io/settings that you can't live without, so be prepared to be surprised.
What are recommended kernel settings?
Follow @Nephilim 's kernel settings. Here they are
Can I use on x ROM?
Sure. If it doesn't work, let people here know. There might be a workaround.
How to submit a bug?
Post a note here with important information(what you were doing when x happened, screenshots, how to replicate, logs, etc)
What is a log? How to take a useful log?
Read this
or use syslog app from play store.
Does Touchwake/PGM/<your favorite touchmanager> work?
This kernel has an inbuild touchwake. You can set it using a kenel settings application (eg. TricksterMod).
It's also got the required modules to support <your fav tool>. You need to ask the app developer to include support for dirty kernels.
Latest smitty version has touchwake removed, so that PGM developer can update his app to support dirty kernel.
PGM fans, see and thank this post
What is the difference between linaro and sabermod?
The difference is just what toolchain was used to compile them. Linaro is a highly optimized custom built toolchain, and sabermod is based off aosp toolchain but with lots of extra patches for optimization
Is Fast Charge broken? I can still access my files with fast charge on!
Nope. It's not broken. With some super voodoo now you can access your files along with fast charging your battery. But, do it only if you are in a hurry. Fast charging might not be good for battery life(citation needed).
Trying out Vanir, just to try out your kernel, heard alot of good things about it! Flashing now, any settings you recommend? ART or dalvik, etc.
I've been using art with pa modular gapps , works great , but dalvik is also good too . as for settings I'm not much help , I think the only way to find what's best for you is how you use your phone . that said I generally oc CPU to 1.5ghz min screen on to 500mhz , vr , GPU 500ghz , hyper or interactive , or on demand or any variation of them , zram on , fsync off , no cab .
Glad you decided to try vanir , I don't think you'll regret it

I tried vanir with art and dalvik, both. And, I'd say try with dalvik for a week or so. Then try art. They've done such a good job with this ROM that you'll feel it running almost the same on both runtimes.

I do just the opposite. I underclock my cpu to around 230-920. Max screen off of 525 and Min screen on of 350 (default), and still get no lag on vanir.
Basically, my phone stays on a standby for most of the time. So, UC makes sense for me. It's gonna be different for every user, depending on how they actually use their device.

So far vanir has been great, but I think the battery life is running out fast, will spend a day with it after a full charge to see if I can get over 2:30 hours of screen time
