FAQ:
GPU overclock reduces performance on my phone. Why? OR I'm getting low scores on benchmark? OR I get low fps? (Don't be dumb to ask this question again and again).
A: I really don't know the reason. But if it doesn't work for you, download this and flash it using CWM/TWRP without wipe.
What is a kernel? Why should I install it?
A: Click here to know the answer.
How to Change RAMDISK ?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52449925&postcount=525
Will this work on all MT6589 Phones?
A: NO!
Is this kernel compatible with all ROMs?
A: Yes. But for ROMs not based on stock, (like MiUi and ColoOS) you have to replace ramdisk.
Will this work on other clones like MyPhone A919i, Wiko Cink 5, Fly IQ451 ?
A: YES. It will work
Is this kernel recommended for daily use?
A: Yes!
My phone lags a lot on V2.0. Why?
A:Because you are on 1.5GHz by default. Download Set CPU from playstore and set max frequency to 1.2GHz.
What are the best governor+io combinations?
A: Hotplug+cfq, Smartassv2+cfd, Sakuractive+cfq. You can try others and report!
How to use doubletap2wake and sweep2wake?
A: Download trickster mod app from playstore, Open "specific" tab in that app and enable s2w, d2w. Also tick on kernel settings to make your settings stay after a reboot. Also Refer this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51893190&postcount=420

Hi,
Thanks for your work, please can you tell me the rom than you're using.
I've test it on an home made rom mix from t5 and a919i but doesn't work.
I'm using cink five.
1st edit:
Just test it on last mmx a116 rom provide by cmahendra and it's ok.
Need to see difference between my rom.
2nd edit:
So I test a little more, about camera, front camera is ok.
When playing recorded videos screen get crazy (see attachments)
Videos are ok on youtube.
Compass is working.
Thanks

---

Good progress here! Good work
Regards.

Finally..Done a good work mate..
Sent from my Google Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

finally some original development, wont be able to try this week i am on holidays, but surely next week.
You are awesome.
EDIT:
I have added 2 bugs on the main thread to the bug list, its the best place to report and track bugs.
Request everyone to add bugs to that list and provide reviews aslwell.

Do a nandroid backup of your rom before flashing.
About the zip, did the mt6628_fm_xx_xx.bin doesn't need to be into directory KashKernel_Alpha1.zip\system\etc\firmware\mt6628\ ?

It belongs to the firmware directory. I've added etc folder to fix Wifi and bluetooth.
I'm on stock 4.2 (P10) and clearly camera doesn't work for me.
Btw, it would be great if you people can fix camera by extracting necessary files from 4.1 because the camera works perfectly on 4.1. So, it means that it is not the problem with kernel.

@varun.chitre15 can easily fix such things. Kashif ask him, he can even build this kernel within no time.
And @ all please this is development thread keep thread clean. Only for devs not for users. (testers required) . Wait for stable build.

Does the compass work?

Bogomips on the original kernel are about 2400
With this kernel I have about 1500 bogomips

Great work buddy ... :thumbup:

Flashed kernel v0.2 on user 14(S9201_4.2_MP_F3F8_B1_IN_MMX_14_FLASHER_USER) ...Boots but Very laggy and hangs on v14 user of mmx cant even goto camera app from app drawer ...couldnt able to check swap and the governors ..will try once i flash older version of 4.2
Good going bro ..can u upload full buildable source of kask kernel ..im interested in building from source

Version 2 also same Resolution of front & rear camera show 5MP. Also Antutu score reduced from 13410 to 11760. Good luck buddy.

Are you able to see which parts decreased in Antutu? Was it the CPU score? I know that if you use some of the other governors instead of hotplug, some of the cpu cores get turned off and you'll only have 1 or 2 active.

If you're talking about the alpha 2 then yes it will be laggy unless you change the governor.
And sorry bro, I have 30KB/s connection here so it is impossible to upload the full source, but I'll upload required changes.

Antutu score has gone down to around 10k, I think it is because of the unstable graphics. Thanks for informing me about the 5MP Camera, I will look into that in my next build.

what is the default governor on alpha 2 ?...is it the same as that of stock kernel?
If not then make it stock kernel governer as default in next build then it will not lag
