DISCLAIMER: By using this kernel, you agree that you are the only one responsible for anything good or bad that may occur. Use at your own risk ;)

For Boost Mobile ZTE Warp 4G N9510 only.

Let me know how it goes if anyone wants to test it :)

Current Features:
Overclocked to 1.56GHz (stock is 1.18GHz)
Underclocked to 162MHz (stock is 384MHz)
Default to stock frequencies
init.d support added
Insecure adb added
Wheatley governor added

Download:

warplte_442_OC_kernel_1-2.zip

Install:
Flash from custom recovery just like a rom. No need to wipe anything first. If you don't know how to flash a zip from recovery, you should not be using an OC kernel :p

For init.d:
In order to use init.d scripts, you must have /etc/init.d directory on your device.
You must also have busybox installed in /system/xbin.

You can flash this file to add the init.d directory, add busybox, and set the correct permissions
warplte_initd_flashable.zip

Note:
If you need an app to control your cpu settings, this one is nice and free Kernel Adiutor

Stock kernel:
Flash this to revert to stock kernel

Here are some results from tests I've conducted before and after the OCflash from An tutu, geekbench3 and opengls 3.1 tester (Based on max of 1560 and min of 162 with Wheatley for v1.2 and max of 1450 and min of 162 with Wheatley for v1.0):

New version in OP. It does not seem exciting at first glance as the speed appears to have gone down. However, the original 1600MHz was inaccurate. It was really running at 1.45GHz. Sorry for the confusion, but you should notice a significant performance increase over version 1 :) Antutu gave me a 17391. More to come when I get some time ;)

This new on is running @ 1566Mhz. Certainly no complaints here, just an FYI. [emoji41]

I am not sure if this kernel will work with JB roms such as Superrom, but it should work with all the KitKat roms without issue.
Excellent work again @SuperR. What a difference in performance! And Kernel Auditor is a fantastic program. I truly appreciate your dedication brother. What more can I say, you rock!

Can someone please tell me the ideal settings for maximum performance in the kernel adiutor? Obviously 1566 for maximum cpu but wasn't sure about its minimum. And if I remember correctly, I/O scheduler was set on NOOP. And any help with.all the other settings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
162Mhz - 1566Mhz Wheatley & cfq is what I'm rocking but my antutu's were a slightly lower avg too.. AFTER pulling my init.d scripts out, so I'm thinking it's related to so much RAM /APK's' being used as I haven't tried debloating much on this runaround. For a real test, I'm gonna have to try benchmarking after a fresh wipe/ROM install. Which will be soon.. [emoji41] I also seem to keep relatively similar battery time with increased CPU speed vs stock ondemand

Alright, got it. What about the low memory and virtual memory settings?

Low Memory: was fixed w/ SuperR's TB fix.zip, I think.. Maybe reflash TB fix?
Sorry, I was referring to low memory and read ahead settings for maximizing performance through the Auduitor, the mode module that @SuperR recommended. I love this app and actually did away with ROM Toolbox altogether. Thanks SuperR and nice work on the kernel you wrote. My phone was really lagging before but is much more responsive now and Auduitor is a smooth program.

The Warp 4g has been good to me, especially since I discovered this forum and you guys (whom without your help wouldn't be possible) but will sadly be my backup device.
Hot my tax return (and an invite) and ordered the 64gig Oneplus One this morning. I will always stay subscribed to this thread and want to thank you all for your help and patience, you guys are great.
