This is a new Kernel i call Zippy, and lets just say its name isn't Zippy for no reason. When at its full potential this bad boy is twice as fast as any kernel that you'll find for this phone to date. It's amazing and well, i'll just let the benchmark do the talking.

Still trying. When I go to donate link you provided I don't get a PayPal option just sorry something isn't right. But I will figure it out eventually. You deserve to be rewarded for your work that you do so my phone can be kickass. One of a kind and thank you again.


Link yeah idk why it gave u that page, try this one if it doesn't work, look in the OP right under the kernels MD5 sum number you'll see my signature. In it is my donation link that says "Donations are appreciated" that one will work no doubt. Thanks

5.0 Released, enjoy the new slickly feel of your phone;). A few of the features such as Faux's Sound control, you wont be able to turn it on yet. Death2all is aware of the new features added and is working on a new update for the Simplicity App so stay tune for that. If you cant wait then this app will work but it will cost ya few bucks.

Sound Control App

This might sound dumb but what is this for. I am running the new simplicity sand just wondered what this will do for my phone... And what is a kernel?


Basically make your phone smoother than the current kernel in your device. Good question heres a good example as to what is a kernel and what it does in your device.

What is a Kernel? The Kernel is the Foundation in which everything else builds upon in any software system.
[Car Analogy]: Kernel is like the Engine, Electrical system and the Transmission to a car. The Library, Framework and the Apps [AKA ROM] are the body frame and the rest of the Car.

So only one core will work?

What are you talking about lol?





Wait, your telling me that you got a random reboot on that?? basically stock, that shouldnt have happened unless you're one of the lucky devices that has a fast CPU. I'll contact you via PM within the next few days to determined why this happened and i already have a reason in mind. :rolleyes:
