Aero Kernel is a kernel for the Nexus 6. I am aiming for stability, smoothness, and slimness, while retaining a few select features I can't do without. I try to keep a stock-like source, and mostly just cherry-pick in features and fixes from the great developers of XDA that I deem necessary over stock. I will be maintaining 3 branches: Stable built by Uber Toolchains, Beta Built by Uber Toolchains, and Stable built by Uber Linaro Toolchains. To find the differences, please do your own research of the two, but the only major difference is the toolchain that the kernel is compiled with, the different versions have all the same features. Some just find one or the other better so I provide you with both options. Special thanks to @The Flash for his upstream source I used and his help. Also thanks to all the other amazing devs from which I cherry-picked from. Note that this is not in any way affiliated with any kernel control app (there is an "Aero Kernel Control", I have no affiliation with it or the respective dev whatsoever.)

Its not implemented yet, i had lots of errors when i put it in . Once i get it working it will first be in a beta, then stable. And msm sleeper defaults at 4 cores during suspend, i can change this but it can easily be changed via kernel auditor mod or any kernel control app.

That's cool, this is a really good kernel. Best I've used so far. I've only used my phone for little over 30 minutes, but it has really good stand by time. Also been the only kernel I haven't had any freezes or lockups or any random reboots. Keep up the good work and thanks.

Hopefully it's a good while... The Ironactive cpu governor is good... So far your kernel is the only one that has it for the Nexus 6.

Ironactive is just interactive with the upstream CAF patches, which most kernels add anyways because they improve the governor quite a bit. No point to have two governors that do the same thing lol.

Whatever suits you. Flash is correct, it is essentially interactive, but slightly improved in my opinion. You can look over the C code and decide for your self. I just want to throw out the option of using it.

Looking forward to trying this kernel, but need to wait for the wifi tether fix. Thanks for giving us yet another option for our mighty whale!
