Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for any damages on your device.
After having a good response for some months in the i9100 thread, I decided to share this build since I also built for n7000.
My focus is to optimize the ROM in many areas and compiled it with custom toolchain Uber for more performance and smoothness.
I choose SlimRoms as a base because it is a lightweight and not a bloated ROM, but it still has rich features. Combined with some of CM features, I bake a ROM that has more useful features but still lightweight.
The ROM and the kernel are tested by me first before I make it available online. I could have overseen something during testing, please be understand.
Features summary
See here. Thanks a lot Harsha Raj!
Installation instructions
Coming from 4.1.x or 4.2.x or 4.3.x or another ROM to 4.4.x:
Flash a kitkat compatible recovery from here. A kernel is a recovery and a recovery is a kernel.
Reboot to recovery. Not to the system!
Full wipe: data, cache, dalvik cache.
Mount system and format system partition manually.
Flash the unofficial build.
Flash gapps from here. Please use the 'minimal' one since our system partition is not big enough to carry the 'full' one.
Coming from previous unofficial build:
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the unofficial build.
No need to re-flash gapps. Gapps will be restored back automatically by backup tool during flashing.
Known Issues
Music player stops playing music from sdcard after some time. See here - Fixed since 20141221.
Occasional freezes if using governor other than ondemand. Use only ondemand for the time being.
F.A.Q
See second post.

How To Build
See this post

F.A.Q (Freaking Annoying Questions)
How to disable CellBroadcastReceiver
There are three possibilities to disable it:
Disable its setting: See here
Remove it: Settings - SlimCenter - SlimSizer - Delete CellBroadcastReceiver
Freeze it: Use Titanium Backup and freeze 'Mobile Broadcast'
Root doesn't work!
Enable 'Developer options'
Go to Settings -> About Phone
Tap on the Build Number 7 times
Go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access
Choose 'Apps' or 'Apps and ADB'
How to set zzmoove profile
Available zzmoove profiles:
Default
Will set governor defaults
Yank Battery
A very good battery/performance balanced setting - DEV-NOTE: highly recommended! -
Yank Battery Extreme
Like yank battery but focus on battery saving
ZaneZam Battery
A more 'harsh' setting strictly focused on battery saving - DEV-NOTE: might give some lags! -
ZaneZam Battery Plus
NEW! reworked 'faster' battery setting - DEV-NOTE: recommended too! -
ZaneZam Moderate
NEW! setting based on 'ZaneZam Optimized' which has mainly (but not strictly only!) 2 cores online -
ZaneZam Optimized
Balanced setting with no focus in any direction - DEV-NOTE: relict from back in the days, even though some people still like it! -
ZaneZam Performance
All you can get from zzmoove in terms of performance but still has the fast - down scaling/hotplugging behaving
ZaneZam InZane
NEW! based on performance with new insane scaling active. a new experience!
ZaneZam Gaming
NEW! based on performance with scaling block enabled to avoid cpu overheating during gameplay
How to set the zzmoove profile:
Go to Settings - Advanced options - Performance - choose zzmoove governor
Press menu key and choose Governor Settings
Search for 'profile_number' and pick a number from above
Press 'Apply values' and eventually enable 'Apply on boot'
Only profile_number can be persisted, any other gov settings will be changed based on the chosen profile template.
* Media scanner eating my battery
* CPU stuck at 1.2 GHz
* Random music player stop
For media scanner problem, try this following solution first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47868557, also see this.
At these problems could have the same root cause: The kitkat sdcard fuse daemon issue on the Exynos 4210 family of devices. There is no fix yet. See this thread for more information.
How to check corrupt partition
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50264173&postcount=9137
I have excessive RILJ wakelocks
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50227440&postcount=9049
and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50758124&postcount=9790
My recovery won't flash the 4.4 zip... aka "Status 7 error"... what do I do?
You need a kitkat compatible cwm. See installation instructions in 1st op
How to change DPI?
Currently, this feature hasn't been ported... so you'll need to install Texdroider DPI from the playstore... or edit /system/build.prop and change ro.sf.lcd_density to the desired value
Stuck at the Samsung logo
Follow this steps to get rid of the stuck and to have back your valuable data:
Go to recovery and make a twrp/cwm backup.
Do a full wipe + mount system + format system.
Flash the rom + gapps.
Reboot to rom and skip the setup wizard.
Go to recovery again and advance restore your data only.
Reboot.
My timezone is reset and it is wrong
See this workaround from rkoby13 or eskriminal here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45572515&postcount=2668
What is the difference between these builds and the official builds?
Short version: It is unofficial nightly builds whereas official one is stable and weekly builds.
Long version: It is built using the same source (github) like the official one but with these following additional changes:
Compiled using SaberMod 4.8 & SaberMod 4.7 toolchain combo.
Contains some cherry-pick commits. See changelog for more details.
Faster? Smoother? Here are some responses from users: rkoby13, rkoby13, rkoby13, kroz, MarioFan1998, alkspo, vladimirheroj, bodzik155
What is Toolchain?
In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.
A simple software development toolchain consists of a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system, and a debugger. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.

What is SaberMod?
The term "SaberMod" is coming from:
SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124 . Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.

What is Linaro?
Linaro is the place where engineers from the world's leading technology companies define the future of Linux on ARM. The company is a not-for-profit engineering organization with over 120 engineers working on consolidating and optimizing open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain, the Linux kernel, ARM power management, graphics and multimedia interfaces.

Changes:
* Integrated r3p2 mali as default.
* Bunch of changes in framework av.
* Updated Contact, Mms and Phone with some fixes after some months no change at all.

Welcome to the Note, SlimSaber @fusionjack

Thanks for this SlimSaber.
Downloading:good:

Just tried it. it's quite responsive and snappy so far, since bangsti is left I really missed slim build with these customization and smoothness.
thanks.:good:

just added mirror on dev-host: http://d-h.st/users/fusionjack/?fld_id=28093#files

Dear sir... There we're times I have flashed a lot. And a lot I mean, that my wife was so angry, that she wanted to throw my phone through window I've seen some things, flashed only good and solid roms... But this one just blows my mind. I tought after crDroid, that there could be nothing better and now I know, how wrong I was Keep up the good work, because SlimSaber is just brilliant and amazing.

Holy crap this is absurdly smooth
Also it's the only 4.3 ROM I've seen that has a proper CRT effect

To be honest, this is not tablet mode at all, it has nothing to do with silly build.prop hacks. This is the first and only Android rom to feature true Hybrid mode. This rom lets you scale and project every app, every widget, even systemcomponents individually. Remember, android is modular, everything is an app: Lockscreen, navigationbar, dialogs, popups, keyboards, widgets, and your regular apps of course. Apps have the capability to switch into various designs or layouts according to the device they run on. This can result in a complete new experience as many apps will transform to the better.
Now for every element that you like chose a mode (PhoneUI, Phablet/Nexus-7UI, TabletUI) and/or a size. You are 100% independent of the system DPI which runs nicely in whatever value it has been assigned to. You do not need to boot your phone into a certain DPI. Neither will most of the changes you apply require a reboot. You will not suffer from the myriads of troubles which normally haunt you under build.prop tablet mode. Your market, phone, etc. will all work, apps won't shrink on you unless you shrink them yourself. This project will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the feel of your phone.​
This is work in progress, this means not everything is properly fixed or resized, so please, report bugs only and not resizing issues, as I will resolve them, if you have proper values or strings to make it look better, I will receive them, thanks!
Make sure you have CWM Installed

Go to Settings, System, Font size, set it to NORMAL

If you have an issue and you want to call my attention, here's what you do:
1. Try everything you can, find solutions for yourself. Wipe caches, revert all your settings you have made, factory reset if you have to or reflash the rom. Assume that the issue is on your side and try your best to isolate it.
2. Search this thread and Cyanogenmods aswell (its the base) for possible reoccurences of your issue and hopefully solutions that may have come up.
3. If you think the issue is important enough that we should cease my work and look into it, post your issue, BUT ...
... stay friendly, do not demand anything, do not threaten
... explain your issue as precise as you can, name the exact apps and conditions that cause trouble, help us to replicate the issue right away. If we can't there's no way we can fix it and your post will simply clutter the thread
... collect evidence, keep in mind this is a developer thread so even if you are not one, do us the favor and research how to record logcat. logcat is the single most important help you can give us to resolve your issue.

This is compiled from source, is not a port
ParanoidAndroid from PAC is version 2.15, and this one is 2.20 (and soon will be 2.21)
This does have the ICS kernel from TheWhisp, that means data counter and limiter works
Uses Android 4.1.2 and instead of PAC Android 4.1.1
This is only ParanoidAndroid, PAC is a combination of AOKP+CM10 and PA, but it isn't updated yet.
Anyway, we (FalzaL3040 and me) are collaborating eachother for make things work better. Probably he will use this ParanoidAndroid and import the features from PAC (or import features from this ROM to PAC) and publish a new release.
Would it be possible to set lowest dpi on sliders to 70 in next release? Phablet ui looks smashing in 70

Sorry.. Cant tolerate the whining of some rude babies on XDA anymore.. If a person makes a mistake, everyone just have to "quote" them and just write crap about them like they are so perfect..

Welcome to SentinelROM for Nexus 4. Compiled with Linaro toolchain from modded CM11 source. Android 4.4
This is one of the most popular ROMs for Nexus 10 and Nexus 7, and after a month of hard work and optimisation, I am happy to release it for Nexus 4.
This ROM is compiled from CyanogenMod 11 with all the features you get in a CM11 ROM, plus the following features.
Zip Aligned
LMT Pie Controls.
Compiled from latest CyanogenMod 10.2 source by me, not a 'cooked ROM'.
OTA Updates supported
Improved Web Browsing performance
Improved 3D gaming performance
Amazing battery life
Additional theming and UI customisation
FAST support via this page and our Facebook Page
________________________
This ROM has been built to enhance the CyanogenMod 11 experience, with faster gaming and web browsing performance (no choppyness in Chrome too!).
Countless hours have been spent making tweaks to settings to squeeze the most performance I can find out of this ROM while still providing excellent battery life and without the dangers of overclocking and kernel level tweaking.
I compile this ROM and Kernel from the latest CyanogenMod source code, add my various tweaks and adjustments, then test for stability, so you get all the benefits of CyanogenMod 11, plus my tweaks and extras, all without the instability and inconvenience of flashing CyanogenMod nightlies (which are not designed specifically for the Nexus 4 like my ROM is.
The kernel source is available from the CyanogenMod's GitHub.
Please note that I do not own a Nexus 4. this ROM is tested on my Nexus 10, compiled again from source to suit the Nexus 4 and tested by my lovely tester team, then released for you to enjoy. Therefore I ask that you please report any issues you come across in this thread so I can do my best to sort them out ASAP.

________________________
If installing for the first time:
To install this ROM you will need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery such as TWRP or ClockWorkMod installed (personally I recommend TWRP, I have had issues with restoring backups using CWM).
Copy the downloaded SentinelROM zip to your Internal Storage.
Boot into your custom recovery
Back up your stock ROM
Factory Reset and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Wipe system partition
Install the ROM
Install GAPPS package
Reboot - First boot may take up to 5 minutes
Important: After installation you will be asked if you want to turn on CyanogenMod Statistics, please leave it off as this is an unofficial/modified build.
Note: Use of titanium backup to restore apps and data from another ROM is not recommended, and is the source of 90% of user issues, especially when it comes to battery life. Do so at your own risk.
You may flash other kernels as you wish via recovery. Remember to also flash the correct libraries for any 3rd party kernels. Instructions will be given by the Kernel author. NOTE: Updating the ROM via OTA will also overwrite any custom Kernels you have installed.

I don't think transparancy will come to cm10 which this ROM is based off of.
ROM feels really smooth and I will have to report back on battery, but there is one thing I see that is missing. The Reboot menu does not show the other options like Recovery, Download, etc. Not sure if I'm the only one, but that would be really helpful to have. I do have Reboot menu selected in the Power Menu section of the Settings.

+1 I will test the rom!! I hope that it has a better battery life than the other CM 10.1!!
If it's anything to go by, HTC One X users are getting up to 4.5 days of battery with their build.
In beta testing, we saw 3% battery drop in 6 hours of sleep time on the SGS3, but I'm looking forward to lots of feedback!

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to your feedback.
So the only remained bug is the buggy camera like in another CM builds
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'm using the stock CM camera for this ROM at the moment as it seems more compatible and less buggy than aftermarket camera apps.
Can you elaborate on the bugs you're experiencing with the Camera?

The touch to focus doesnt work with flash, if you use that function you'll get a nice camera/gallery stop.
Ahh right. OK that must be a bug that's specific to SGS3 as it seems to work fine on other devices. I'll work towards a fix for future builds Thanks for the feedback

whilst on the topic of cameras, does the camera for your ROM have the option to save to SD card?
@Shudder123 - Yes it does.
how do i check if my bootloader is unlocked? and also does this wipe the phone and all data
Im not 100% familiar with the process on the SGS3 buy there are plenty of guides on the forums for installing custom Roms The process of going from stock to custom will wipe everything but your SD card.

On your main screenshot you got all the icons to fit your screen neatly mine looks out of place how do i fix that? I have sent you screenshots to your inbox let me know how haha thank you.
Edit my bad noticed you have the search bar persistently on i'll find away thanks..

Chameleon OS (or ChaOS for short) is a custom Android ROM that gives the user more control than they can experience on any other Android ROM. Starting with a CyanogenMOD base, we customize each piece to give ultimate control while maintaining the simplicity we all love about Android. The most notable feature of ChaOS is the theme engine, which can apply different pieces of themes in a true mix-and-match style. The launcher has been completely overhauled with tons of options that you'd normally need to download a third-party launcher for, such as home screen previews, folder sorting, and folder icon styles. The Messaging app has also had some UI retouches, including messaging bubbles and quick emoji button.
The entire framework of ChaOS has been modified around the theme engine, allowing for custom fonts, boot animations (with animated preview), and themes. No longer do you have to try to find the perfect theme, with Chameleon OS you can patch it together with your favorite pieces from different themes. Messaging, Phone, Status Bar, icons, everything can be set completely individually from each other which provides the capabilities to completely re-imagine your phone. Creating themes for the ChaOS Theme Engine is superbly simple and has extreme versatility.
Even with all of the features we've currently implemented, ChaOS will continue to mature with even more refined settings and features. We will be completely open source and will welcome developers to join us, whether it be by maintaining a device or utilizing our gerrit review. Even if you're not a developer, your voice will not go unheard. We will continually poll our users for the most wanted features and do our best to implement them.

It's all up to yourself.

extract the boot.img from the package.
put boot.img in your fastboot directory.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

I'm getting bootloop.....Did everything as always (when flashing) weird.
It starts up, then says SystemUI force close and bootloop.
Any ideas?
I'll look at it, thanks for reporting

No problem, its been in bootloop for a while now. Too lazy to turn it off lol
Bootloop for me too. After flashing again after full wipe problem remains.

good work!
carry on deving!
Is there Chinese language in this rom?
Sounds like MIUI ROM, especially the theming features. I will try once it's get stabilized. Kudos for your new ROM!
Cheers.
After the weekend I will make a new build with the bootloop fixed.
So.. What do you guys think of this ROM ?
Is it nice enough that you will use it? Worth the efford to maintain it for this device?

I think so mate. I've used most AOSP based ROMs across a variety of devices (CM, AOKP, PAC, Carbon, Bam, JellyBeer, ReVolt, PA, Slim, Baked etc.) but this I'm yet to sample.
It looks very interesting. I'm not sure how it will compete with your awesome PAC ROM build, or krabappel's excellent Carbon build but I would definitely love to give something different a try

Too bad i am having display flickering issues on every Android 4.2+ build out there (CM10.1, PAC, FreeXperia etc...even the Sony build). Otherwise i would install this immediately
I think its a very good work, but even if you get it bugless PAC will always be preffered for all the features.. but who knows, maybe you make this rom even more awesome!
I still didn't get it to boot properly. Will give it another try this week. I'm sure it can be solved, I'm debugging and looking at the logs to find the reason.

Base: N7100 KK Sources
Linux 3.0.31
Compiled using latest ArchiToolchain 5.2.0
ArchiDroid Optimizations
Using AnyKernel method (compatible with all ROMs for both AOSP and Samsung)
And many other awesome things I have no time to list
ArchiDroid Optimizations:
- Fully optimized for Samsung Galaxy S3 (-marm -march=armv7-a -mcpu=cortex-a9 -mtune=cortex-a9 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp)
- Compiled with O3 optimization level (-O3)
- Performed interprocedural pointer analysis and interprocedural modification and reference analysis (-fipa-pta)
- Performed loop invariant motion on trees. It also moved operands of conditions that are invariant out of the loop, so that we can use just trivial invariantness analysis in loop unswitching. The pass also includes store motion (-ftree-loop-im)
- Created a canonical counter for number of iterations in loops for which determining number of iterations requires complicated analysis. Later optimizations then may determine the number easily (-ftree-loop-ivcanon)
- Performed induction variable optimizations (strength reduction, induction variable merging and induction variable elimination) on trees (-fivopts)
- Tried to reduce the number of symbolic address calculations by using shared “anchor” symbols to address nearby objects. This transformation can help to reduce the number of GOT entries and GOT accesses on some targets (-fsection-anchors)
- Assumed that loop indices do not overflow, and that loops with nontrivial exit condition are not infinite. This enables a wider range of loop optimizations even if the loop optimizer itself cannot prove that these assumptions are valid (-funsafe-loop-optimizations)
- Moved branches with loop invariant conditions out of the loop (-funswitch-loops)
- Attempted to avoid false dependencies in scheduled code by making use of registers left over after register allocation. This optimization most benefits processors with lots of registers (-frename-registers)
- Re-ran common subexpression elimination after loop optimizations are performed (-frerun-cse-after-loop)
- Didn't keep the frame pointer in a register for functions that don't need one. This avoids the instructions to save, set up and restore frame pointers; it also makes an extra register available in many functions (-fomit-frame-pointer)
- Made a redundant load elimination pass performed after reload. The purpose of this pass is to clean up redundant spilling (-fgcse-after-reload)
- Ran a store motion pass after global common subexpression elimination. This pass attempts to move stores out of loops (-fgcse-sm)
- Eliminated redundant loads that come after stores to the same memory location, both partial and full redundancies (-fgcse-las)
- Constructed webs as commonly used for register allocation purposes and assigned each web individual pseudo register. This allows the register allocation pass to operate on pseudos directly, but also strengthens several other optimization passes, such as CSE, loop optimizer and trivial dead code remover (-fweb)
- Performed tail duplication to enlarge superblock size. This transformation simplifies the control flow of the function allowing other optimizations to do a better job (-ftracer)

What to expect:
- Awesome stock battery life on AOSP ROMs (due to Samsung sources and not smdk4x12)
- Blazing fast (Deep advanced optimizations, Linaro toolchain, this is the beast)
- High compatibility (AnyKernel method, the kernel should work on all ROMs)
What to expect in future:
- You tell me
What to NOT expect:
- Many CPU or I/O governors # We don't need overhead, you can achieve nearly the same just by tweaking governor to your needs
- Features I don't like/need
- Dualboot (see above ^)
- F2FS (see above ^, however this one depends on kernel upstreaming, as f2fs is merged)
ArchiKernel is provided in 4 different variants, 2 for AOSP ROMs and 2 for SAMSUNG ROMs.
AOSP -> 29 MALI blobs AOSP variant. Should cover all Lollipops for SGS3.
AOSP_OLD -> 23 MALI blobs AOSP variant. Should cover all KK and pre-KK ROMs for SGS3.
SAMSUNG -> 23 MALI blobs Sammy variant. Should cover all JB ROMs and also some KK ROMs based on N7100 port (such as ArchiPort)
SAMSUNG_NEW -> 29 MALI blobs Sammy variant. Should be used only on KK+ Sammy ROMs based on korean port
ArchiKernel is using my own AnyKernel flashing method, therefore it does not suffer from a need to update it with maintenance ramdisk updates, and that's one of the reason why it should work properly with all ROMs, even those not officially supported, as long as variant matches.
Flashing instructions:
1. Make sure that you have stock kernel already flashed (the one which comes with your ROM), if you're running custom kernel already, reflash your ROM without wipe, this will also flash stock kernel. This is ultimately important, DON'T FLASH ARCHIKERNEL ON ANOTHER CUSTOM KERNEL, you may face various issues you've never seen before.
* This is because ArchiKernel uses AnyKernel method - it pulls ramdisk from your current kernel. If you brick your phone by flashing AK on top of custom kernel, you know who will be responsible for that.
2. Flash ArchiKernel zip.
3. Profit!
Updating instructions:
1. If you arleady have older ArchiKernel version flashed properly with above instructions, and changelog doesn't state otherwise, just flash the .zip with new version of AK.
2. No wipes, cleaning dalvik cache or anything else is required, flashing zip is enough.
3. Profit!
Bugs:
None known

Last one.
Great job! Amazing to see a dedicated thread for this beauty.
Will report the experience
V1 uploaded in download section on the top of the thread. It should work with all AOSP ROMs but you tell me if it does. Don't flash it on Sammy (yet). Let me know if I screwed up something, it's late .
will test on omni,thanks
Well, I've been waiting for this thread since I read about "ArchiKernel" =D
I installed the kernel just a few minutes ago and I will test during this days to see how it behaves.
Q: Will you add support to customize it with an app (like TricksterMod, Stweaks or BoefflaConfig)? I'm just asking because I'm curious, I know is to early in development stage already to have this, but I just wanted to know
Thanks!

At some point I'll definitely consider adding ArchiKernel support in ArchiDroid app, but it won't come too fast.
However, you can still "tweak it' in various ways. SetCPU, TricksterMod and similar apps are only a few examples. Boeffla Sound Control app (not boeffla config) will work as well. But think twice if you want to do, as ArchiKernel is pretty damn tweaked right after booting.
Flashed on Temasek's v98 and works perfectly. Just finished downloading boeffla sound app and I'm ready to rock this new toy :^P
Will report battery life and stuff later!
Keep your fine work up Archi. Cheers!

If you want to know my opinion - Current smdk4x12 source used in all AOSP kernels is a crap. Somebody screwed up something really hard, I looked at the sources and there are over 7 hundred of different files (comparing to Update13), half of the updates from Update11, Update12 are not even included, while Update13 is not included at all. Whole kernel is one big mess and I have no idea how it even boots. It contains so many merge derps and hacks/workarounds that it hurts. I didn't even want to fix it, too much work to do. I started from clean stable and battery friendly Update13 base.
After flashing first alpha version of my kernel I immediately noticed significantly improved battery life, same as on Sammy ROM. So now I have my perfect combo, ArchiDroid 2.X AOSP speed and ArchiKernel Sammy battery life. Whatever you say, I'm keeping this baby. I love this kernel.
Big credit goes to @Yank555 and @Lord Boeffla because they're true kernel developers, I've made my own kernel based mostly on their commits (but not only, I added my own part as well and I'll add more soon).
Ah guys, and remember that this kernel uses AnyKernel method, which means that it will PULL ramdisk from your CURRENT kernel so for best results MAKE SURE that you're on STOCK kernel for your rom BEFORE flashing this.

Add it to the OP!
While not everyone actually reads even the first post, even fewer people would actually bother reading the whole first page.

If need be, but the stock kernel alone should be enough if you get hands on a .zip.
Awesome

May I ask for a flashable zip file of the stock kernel..Thanks.:good: I would like to try this

i am on archidroid 2.4.6 with boeffla kernel.u mean that i cannot flash your kernel over my current kernel?
Are cam bugs gone since you did not upstream it to the 3.101?
