[KERNEL][LCA43] crpalmer's Tetra Kernel for LCA43 only!

Code:

---

#include

/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
 *
 */

Important Note:: This kernel is based on the LZD22D kernel source code (say "thanks" to Google for not releasing the source code yet). I had to make some changes to emulate the changes they have made to the backlight brightness but otherwise the source seems to be compatible enough to work well. When Google updates the source, I'll merge it and release that version.

The following versions with changelog are available:

* boot-tetra-LCA43-r7.img

• Enable ZRAM to increase the available virtual memory space


• Enable KSMa


• Configure the interactive cpufreq governor better


• Add bfq io scheduler (although it's not being used any more)


• Fix cfq to be more performant for SSDs


• Modify the Android Low Memory Killer to work correctly with swap enabled
  Note: this combined with enable zram seems to fix one of the major 5.1 battery drains for me. Please let me know if that's not the case for you.


• Disable modules (free up more kernel memory)


• Disable extra debugging (free up more kernel memory)


• Disable NFS (fre up more kernel memory)


• Enabled compiler optimizations to speed up the kernel (uses more memory)


• Disable "adaptive low memory killer" (seems like the stock kernel is killing too many processes, this may help that)


• Updated to Linux 3.10.86


• Enable all 4 cores

Installation:

* Reboot to fastboot and then

Code:

---

fastboot flash boot boot-tetra-LCA43-r<whatever>.img

---

.

Warnings:

* This probably breaks your ability to accept OTA updates.

Source:

* github : the repos you need are all explained there along with how to compile it
