SkyDragon Kernel for VS985 on stock based Rom's​
Hey all,
this Kernel is based on stock VS985 Source code from LG. It is *only* for the vs985 and will *only* work if you're running a stock-based rom(10b/11c specifically but others may work as well). I made it as we don't currently have one here, and so we can get some better battery life and performance/responsiveness out of our devices. I will be adding things as we go here, but for now its good enough to release it.
Features
Code:
*Kexec Hardboot (Multirom) Support
*CPU Voltage Control(under/over volting)
*Dev/Frandom
*Arch/Random
*LCD Oversharpening Toggle from Savoca (Use Whetstone)
*KCAL Enhancements (Thanks to @Savoca) - Download his kcal app [URL="http://downloads.codefi.re/savoca/kcal"]here[/URL]
*Kernel memcpy
*High Performace Headset Sound
*Compiled with my own Linaro cortex-a15 optimized 4.9.4 Toolchain

Code:
1. Download kernel zip
2. Reboot to recovery

Id like to see this for CM12 as ive been looking for some audio tweaks for the kernel in hope of improving the sound quality of the phone

Already working on it for the d851, that one should be this week. I just gotta get a couple bugs knocked out. I can do the same for this device, just need a bit of time. Least I own this device, been flying blind on the d851.

---

Running well so far. Its a tad bit faster. Hard to notice lol. Regarless it boots and works.

---

Yup, seems snappier, but hard to tell.

Great! Its definitely more responsive to me. Gonna try and add some more optimizations and a few other things over the next week or so. Would like to extend this battery life as much as possible.

---

No issues booting after dirty flashing over stock bumped 11c (http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-stock-root-deodex-t2932683). I didn't wipe the cache and subjectively the UI seems a little snappier. Text sharpening is improved even over stock 11c. Thanks!

---

Yeah shouldn't need to wipe cache for this kernel, no other files get changed. And it's patched so no oversharpening ^^

---

Straight stock only, or will this work on Jasmin?

It works on any stock-based rom, so it'll work fine on jasmine ROM since its based on stock ROM. It just won't work on any aosp/cm stuff ^^

---

Flashed fine, no issues. Booys up slow on each reboot, not just first time

Will there be aosp kernel in the future

Just a quick question. How did you get this kernel bump'd? Official bumping is gone...

Almost all the(80 or so) builds I did before release were officially bump'd, but since they took their site down I had to switch to the OpenBump tool in order to continue development.

Does this kernel support external SD Cards? I installed the kernel and when I booted up I got a message "SD Card Inserted" and it is blank when I look at it through a file explorer program. I am on a VZW G3 running Cloudy ROM 1.2.

The kernel is for stock ROM with a base 10b or 11c only that maybe your issue. Since cloudy is based on a different version
VS985 G3 R0øted

Installed last night, gave it a full charge, and battery life is better than stock.
Gonna give it a few days, but if I want to make changes, how do i get into the kernel to change settings? Can't find anything in settings, unless I'm not looking in the right places.
