Thanks to Insanelycool, Google, and XDA for teaching me how to build kernels, I have developed my very own kernel from source: I call it King Kernel. The goal of this project is to maximize battery life and minimize lag, with minimal overclocking. I went through many trial and error to get this, and it took me about 2 days to get it correct.

DEVELOPMENT CEASED DUE TO LACK OF FEEDBACK, PHONE USERS, AND TIME




Features:
  • Compiled with Linaro 4.6.2
  • Kernel upgraded from 3.0.31 to 3.0.40
  • Undervolted with InsanelyCool's settings
  • Overclocked to 1.3 GHz
  • More to come
