This is supposed to be a clean Lollipop kernel without hybrid updates. Most of the modifications will consist of added features like DT2W, SoundControl etc.
Features:
DoubleTap2Wake v2
Pocket Guard
SoundControl
LCD Kcal Control
FastCharge
Powersuspend v1.6
Intelliplug
Intellithermal v2
ARMv7 optimizations
Asynchronous Fsync
FIOPS I/O Scheduler
Interactive governor finetuned
Faux's Simple GPU Algorithm
GPU Overclock to 533 MHz
Notes:
This kernel is not for those who want a lot of customization settings. The kernel is already finetuned enough to work out of the box.
Everything is done this way because I compiled this kernel only for personal use. I decided to publish it because all the other kernels are using the old DT2W module and are having problems.
I'm not willing to add other governors, schedulers or features that I don't think will make a significant difference.
DoubleTap2Wake and Pocket Guard enabled by default
Pocket Guard turns off the touchscreen and the power button when the proximity sensor is covered to avoid accidental unlocks when the phone is inside the pocket and cuts off the power for the touchscreen after the proximity is covered for at least 5 seconds to avoid turning the touchscreen on and off continuously.
DT2W is optimized for low power usage
SoundControl has modified Quality preset already applied for those who can't afford Faux's app
FastCharge is not a module that can be turned on and off. It is a line of code inside the USB driver that sets the charging voltage to 1500mA on every compatible charger
MPDecision is disabled by default and replaced by Intelliplug
The kernel is using CM12 ramdisk. If you encounter incompatibility problems with other ROMs, you will have to unpack and repack the ramdisk by yourself.
Changelog:
1.1
Force SELinux Permissive mode for Xposed compatibility
Add GPU Overclock to 533 MHz
Add Faux's Simple GPU Algorithm

Can we not clutter the thread wit the same post?
Fixed upload
Sorry for the delay. I fixed the upload. I don't know what happened.
By the way, I didn't test but I don't think it is compatible with stock lollipop. I tested it on CM12, SlimLP and AOSPA and it works.
Works on stock ROM 5.0.2 on a XT1032?
Thanks this time I could flash it hope battery drain will be ok ...I'll report later
Wroking fine
please only add GPU overclock to 550mhz
Does it works on stock 5.0.2 brazilian ?
ATTENTION TO EVERYONE!!!!
NO, this kernel DOES NOT WORK ON ANY STOCK OR STOCK BASED ROM! IT is impossible because a kernel for stock rom needs to be compiled from motorola's kernel source, and motorola didnt release any source for lollipop yet! Please stop asking if this kernel works on stock because it doesnt and don't even try to flash it because you're only gonna end up with a boot loop! THANK YOU!
---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------
I have a question @alin.p, would it be possible if you add a setting to completely disable the power button except for rebooting? Im asking this because i wanna force myself to use s2w and s2s but i always just use the power button. I'm just asking if that would be possible, not telling you to add it

Supports all AOSP / CM based KitKat ROMs (Be sure to download the correct version)
WARNING!: Only flash the kernel for your device, flashing the wrong kernel can/will lead to hard brick. Never try to install the 5110/5100 on to the 5120 and never install the 5120 on to the 5110/5100.I recommend Trickster MOD and No-frills CPU Control to customize the kernel.
Use at your own risk.
Be sure to make a full nandroid backup before flashing.I am not responsible for any damages that may occur.

Linux 3.0.71
OC & UV support for CPU and GPU
Max CPU speed is 1920MHz
Max GPU speed is 700MHz

Downloads: DracoKernel
You will see two folders "Normal ROMs" and "Alternate ROMs"
Use the normal one if you are running: CM, AOSB, Slim, or Beanstalk.
Use alternate if you are running: Carbon or Omni
Since PAC adds its own custom frameworks, it will have its own version.
If you flash the wrong one, you will be stuck on the bootanimation. Easy fix, just go flash the other one.
Installation:
Flash in recovery.
Then flash SuperSU
Goals of this kernel:
The objective of this kernel is to have a kernel for daily use. It does not aim for best battery life, or best smoothness or best benchmark scores. It aims more for a good mix of all, not sacrificing stability and functionality in the end. With that being said, I am open to any suggestions and contributions, but I will only implement it in if it makes sense to me and does not hinder one's experience using this as a daily driver. Also, try to limit talk of benchmark scores because they do not accurately depict real life experience.

Yeah, I was planning to so flashable zips in the future. This first release is like a beta. I need to make sure all 3 variants work properly. You have the n5100 right? I heard from tejkkarani that it takes forever to boot so hold off on flashing for now. (Great if anyone else could confirm this) I'm going to take a look at it today.

I sent you a PM. Its recommended to use Heimdall, but that way might work. Try it. I'll try to get a flashable zip asap. Computer is compiling a new ROM right now so I'll see after that.
EDIT: The flashable zip should be available soon. I'm testing it on my n5110. Check your PM in a few mins.
EDIT2: Sent you a PM, can you test it now?

I apologize for the inconvenience. Just realized that this kernel does not work on anything but PAC. Therefore, I will spend a lot more time testing before releasing again. Thread will be closed until further notice.
Thread re-opened. Figured out the problem faster than I initially expected. Downloads are up for the N5110. I have personally tested them on the ROMs we have. There are two different versions for now so please download the correct one. Enjoy!
FYI: N5100 builds will start shortly (approximately 12-24 hours from now or so), and N5120 will start a day or two after that.
Edit: N5100 should be ready now.
Using on CM 11 (cm-11-20140226-NIGHTLY-n5100.zip) .. not bootloop for me. Works perfectly. As I have installed it just now cant comment on the performance or battery life. Using GravityBox (KK) with Xposed Framework. Didnt face any issues yet.
working with AOSB 1.3.0 on N5100 from 23rd February 2014 , no problem so far.

whoops, just checked the code. I forgot to enable it in the defconfigs (files and everything are all in place though). I'll enable it next release. And no its not, I'm going to change the name to DracoKernel in future releases. Currently, thats not too high on my priority list.
Edit: Boeffla sound may take a while. Enabled it but app isn't recognizing that the kernel has the feature..
EDIT! nevermind, i'm an idiot, lol. thanks for this kernel by the way! definitely kicks major ass!

Ok guys uploaded version 8 autosmp version here http://d-h.st/FwM enjoy
faq
Q1 low frequencies like 81mhz not sticking
Ans turn on frequency lock in trickstermod
Q2 if you are having random reboots?
Ans lower the max freq to 1512000 and increase the min frequency to 384mhz

It boots but GSM doesn't work (returns error while searching network). Everything else seems fine.
Tested on Beanstalk 4.4.4.001 which is based on CM11. I'll test on CM11 later if it's necessary.

You shouldn't use -Ofast Optimisations.
They do more harm rather than bringing any benefits.

First of all Thank you so much... i cant believe on my eyes when i saw first thread in OG development forum with name "lightning kernel cm11 " ..
your kernel have all the features i wanted , specially Sound control , CPU OC & Undervolting..
m really happy to see that we have working CM11 custom kernel with so many features.
btw Thomas's latest CM11 kernel source > https://github.com/daeiron/android_kernel_sony_apq8064 may be it will help u
Keep developing and Thanks again

Working flawlessly on Carbon ROM :good:
Performance has increased at least 2x.
Just one issue, GPU overclock does not stick, it resets to 400 after a while. (I use trickster mod)
PS: Doesn't work with PAC ROM.
Also works with Beanstalk( Fastboot flashed the boot.img)

@nikhil18, i cant express my grattitude for your kernel, i confirmed alls working on latest AICP 4.4.4 KK, has everything i wanted, super fast, response is just simply amazing, i do also however face clocks reverting over time even when i manually clock via system files, but probably os doing it, thank you so much finally a KK kernel that supports everything.. If i can do anything to contribute or help please let me know, will bug report in a couple of days.

If you installed custom kernel with custom WiFi libs then just reflash ROM and then install this kernel and WiFi will work.
My kernel for moto g. I dont like bloated OP's so i will make this short
Features:
intelli-plug
linaro 4.9 built
frandom
15+ governors
lots of io schedulers
LMK tweeks
kexec multi rom patch
LZ4 compression
disabled some debugging to reclaim more ram
more i forgot but is all on my git here: https://github.com/cannondalev2000/kernel_motorola_msm8226/commits/kk44?page
downloads will be here: http://www.drdevs.com/devs/cannondalev2000/InSaNiTy/
there may be some times where i upload and dont post on here in that case look at my git for changelog and additions
also dont ***** to me if this bricks your phone because its not possible and i can not be held responsible if you brick flashing this in any way
that is all. flash and enjoy
mine
At least a kernel without dt2w. That's my kernel!
Cool one more kernel for my moto g..will check and revert..
I've lost wifi connection. Any problem with wifi modules? I'm on Mahdi rom
Finally a kernel that works on the latest Carbon Nightly (CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140828-0903-falcon). WIFI and camera working, Trickster mod settings sticks!!
Thank you!! @cannondaleV2000
Awesome!
Thank you for the kernel!
Working fine on PA 4.6 Beta1
1- Awesome kernel, thank you so much for your work and the camera feels better than before...
2- Bugs:
Simple ondemand doesn't work, the phone reboots.
3- Request:
Can you add (if is possible) underclock to 192MHZ?
Thanx for this amazing kernel @cannondaleV2000 but the download link isn't opening...Plz solve this issue....Dying to try it
Can someone upload the build and post it here,or pm it to me.
Provided link doesn't work.
Absolutely fantastic kernel! Pretty barebones but very smooth performances.

I will to test it. Thanks
why this file is so big?
I found one .ko file almost 32 mb in zip file..
why this file is so big?
sorry guys the download link was down for a bit as the server i use was down for a while. all is good now
Deleted
Deleted..
the .ko file is so big because being built with linaro 4.9 increases the size of the code output. and dont link to other kernels in my kernel thread -_-

Introduction/About
Got an old unused zenfone 5 from my brother and I've compiled this kernel because i'm not satisfy with some of the available kernel so far. Nothing fancy, just a (hopefully) stable kernel for stock lollipop or custom rom based on stock lollipop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Features:
Like i said, nothing fancy lol. Things that i've modified/added:
Updated interactive cpu governor and fine tuned its parameters.
Enabled conservative cpu governor and disabled userspace cpu governor.
Added zendecision cpu hotplug helper.
Updated cfs scheduler.
Added bfq disk io scheduler and made it as default on booting.
Enabled all tcp congestion control and made westwood as default on booting.
Added power efficient workque support. Should help with battery life.
Added quick wakeup driver support. Should help with battery life.
Added async fsync support. Should help with battery life and perfomance.
Enabled joystick game controller support.
Enabled usb serial driver support.
Enabled zram driver support and made it use 256mb on booting. Should help with perfomance.
Enabled powerclamp and rapl driver for intel thermal daemon support. Should help minimize heat.
Enabled ntfs driver with read/write support.
Enabled cifs and smb network drive driver support.
Added exfat-nofuse filesystem driver support with proper automount on booting.
Enabled zenmotion dt2w support.
Made selinux mode as permissive on boot. This fixed the dreaded signal loss issue.
Added proper init.d support in ramdisk, with proper permission setup before running scripts.
Probably many, many other things i forgot to list here...
Click to expand...

Changelog:
20161029
- Removed hotplug cpu governor. Hotplug cpu governor or hotplug driver are too buggy on zf5, sometimes the turned off cpu are never turn back on again.
- Fined tuned interactive cpu governor.
- Added and enabled bfq disk io scheduler and made is as default on booting.
- Updated lowmemorykiller driver.

I hv been using this kernel since yesterday noon..
Till now i haven't faced any kind of reboots and freeze issues..
But the "ondemand" governor makes the device Lag a lot...i am using either interactive or performance(preferably)...
Its also Good that u didn't enabled dt2w in this kernel, please don't enable it in the kernel since i want zenmotion only for sleep, our zenfone 5 has both of the options combined unlike other zenfones...
Also, a feature suggestion, if possible, try to lower the min brightness value to 2-3 , just like the ryanjms07's kernel...
Good job.!

weird that you're the second person that said to me not to add dt2w. i'm actually debating whether to add it or not myself, its a nice feature to have. probably will add it along with sysfs toggle for user to turn it off if dont want it. yes the ondemand lag abit, will change to interactive on next kernel. he doesnt give his kernel source so i dont know how he lower the brightness.
super. class. well done. continue in the same spirit

with your kernel does not change dpi can see what's the problem?

I am able to change the dpi without any issues...
U can try using ,in terminal emulator,
su
wm density ___
Where ___ will be the density value, like 120,240,320 or any desired value...
After this, u can try nomone resolution changer app from play store.
@mdfzhi , do you know if you can overclock the gpu or cpu for this device? others devs tried but is kinda like a "fake" one, becouse it dosn't affect performance, if we put like 444444.4444ghz it will run fine, so you think is possible?
day use, the kernel reboots no good .but very heated cpu I used the governor ondemand.
does this phone have isssue with signal for anyone? i lived in area where mobile signal arent very good. seems like after singnal loss, something is keeping the phone awake and made it super hot. same issue when i'm still using stock 5.0 rom and kernel. does anyone know if any rom or kernel solve the issue? i could examine ramdisk in kernel that solve the issue and see what changes were applied in it.

No freeze at all?
ondemand on the profile and even interactive games are very heavy lag and delay necessary to put a performance profile
I really2 love this kernel because of its features that no other kernel has, but there is a problem that my sdcard can't detect, i have to revert back to boret's kernel to fix sdcard, please fix this cause i really love this kernel
.Very noted here that it makes it difficult, if my first simkarty is 3g mode and enable data transfer, I switched to the second slot, and includes data transmission and 2g network after some time returns the data back to the first slot and turn on 3g and transfer data will no longer work until you restart the phone really interfere with this because I have to switch modes and simkarty
@mdfzhi
Its almost been a week and now i found some issues:-
1.Freeze occurs sometimes (Like once in 2 days)
2.Battery drain is really more as compared to stock kernel (i did compared it with one day usage).
3.Network comes reallllly verrrry late after booting.
4.Frequent loss of network and never regains back...
5.Data never works sometimes, needs to reboot device in order to work (Airplane mode doesnt work for it)
6. Same issue mentioned by @duffi200000
compiled and uploaded new version. hopefully fixed the dreaded signal loss issue. init.d scripts should also working as it should be now. be careful with some roms that put crap tonnes of bloated init.d script. don't came whining about unstable, reboot or freeze if you didnt clean those script. i didn't use any init.d script except supersu daemon script and the kernel is stable so far.
Super will be tested

I have a question is the core run on the kit Kat?
When connecting the USB otg flash card speed of copying files is very low , you can fix
First at all, thanks for your important work.
I really like that the phone has become much more energy efficient at this kernel :good:
But I have two issues:
1. I got reboot when I talking on the phone (Zenmotion is enabled).
2. My phone doesn't detect the memory card.

1.That's why i was telling the dev not to include dt2w.
2.keep ur fone turned on, remove ur back panel, remove and reinsert ur sdcard ,and it will work.

1. Dt2w is very useful feature. Maybe author can fix it. I hope so.
2. Thank you for this temporary solution. And I'll wait until the author to fix this.

No, you need to also flash magisk right after the kernel

Nice to see another kernel for our device. You wrote inOP that is based on v20A. Will it work well with 20c firmware? Hasn't LG updated the sources?
Thank you for your work

Running your kernel on my H870, V20C, so far so good, great work ?
Heya, thanks for the Kernel, I flashed over from Melina kernel - noticed less CPU governeei options - missing my old elementalx setting. Any plans to add more governor settings or have you tuned/optimised the interactive governor in the Kernel

Flashed this over v20C, Melina Kernel...it give me some kind of error like
"Updater process ends with error: 1 Error flashing zip /external_sd/zip/H870_v1.4.Marshall.zip"
i dont know why, i wipe cache first...what im doing wrong?!
Good to see another kernel for G6. too bad can't use it on my H870DS.
Great Work sir.
