Very often people not read full description(then write me to email "device not start, help me" even in the middle of the night) therefore write here with giant words:
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED OTHERWISE DEVICE CAN'T START WITH CUSTOM KERNEL (YOU GET USB LOGO PICTURE OR TO YOU THROW INTO RECOVERY OR BOOTLOADER)
I never add fake overclock and overclock, because for now(or forever) no method for real overclock and underclock
Random reboots for most users probably fixed in 16.04.2016 and higher
For max stability I recommend to use Interactive governor
Kernel features:
1) USB Mass Storage Support
2)
3) DT2W support (to activate it, you should install Zenmotion)
4) KVM support (Kernel Virtual machine for Intel)
5) Added support of init.d. scripts
6) Added support of exFAT file system for external sd card.
7) ZRAM is disabled for old versions, on version of December 6 and higher- ENABLED.
8) Added CD emulating feature
9) Added SWAP support(need create swap partition on sdcard)
10)
12) Add more governors and I/O schedulers
13) USB-HID mouse & keyboard function(required USB Keyboard app from GPhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d.client&hl=en)
14) Support joysticks (DragonRise, Inc ang others)
15) Add more TCP IPv4 congestion algorithms (May change via TricksterMod or Kernel Auditor apps)
16) Reduce min display backlight for autobrightness. For use min backlight level you should to use autobrightness and set it to the left
Deprecated features:
1. Overclock to 2000 Mhz (for A501CG only) and Overclock to 2400 Mhz (for A500CG only). Idea and work by @TheSSJ (it have been removed since 26.12.2015)
2. Based on Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 2.20.40.44(more than 50%) + Asus Zenfone 6 3.24.40 sources
3. Underclock to 667 Mhz. Idea and work by @TheSSJ
4.Hotplug for all governors
5. Frandom Linux kernel generator
Note: This kernel will work on stock Lollipop firmware only like 3.24.40.87, 3.24.40.78 or 3.23.40.60 or 3.23.40.52
This kernel was created by BORETS24 So if you need more information you can pm to him.
How to flash this kernel:
Method 1(via PC)
Step 0:Bootloader unlock is required for every custom rom. You can use this tool for unlock:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-F...lQZkV0SG8/view
Step 1:
You should download files for flashing:
ADB v1.0.32: Download from Google Drive
Step2:
You should reboot your phone in the droidboot mode. (turn off you gadget then press Turn off button and volume + button)
Then go to the ADB folder and hold Shift + Right Mouse button and write this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot new_bootXX.XX.img
Step3:
Reboot to Android.
Method 2(through CWM/TWRP, without PC)
1. Download Flashable ZIP archive on phone2. Go to recovery mode
3. Click Install ZIP and choose this archive
4. Then reboot
Archieves You make take from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=364(Thanks to @Don No 1)
How to install Zenmotion:
(it needed for DT2W)
1) Download this file (asus.hardware.touchgesture.double_tap.xml) :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-F...ew?usp=sharing
2) Put this file into system/etc/permissions
Set file permissions. It is a 0644 rw- r-- r--
3) Reboot the phone
4) Find Zenmotion in the Settings and activate it.
(It will work if you flash this kernel)
Changelog:
25.10.2016
I not remember that I removed, let's start that I changed and added
USB Mass Storage mode
Removed few unstable governors
I started to compile with use Zenfone 2 source code for Marshmallow
Existed governors from 6.0.1 source
Removed lz4- caused bugs, drain battery, very slow interface
Added bootboost feature into ramdisk such as Zenfone 2
Now drain battery less and interface speed is high
12.06.2016
Reduce min display backlight brightness to 5(no need to set to 2, no difference between 5 and 2- I checked).For use min backlight level you should to use autobrightness and set it to the left
ZRAM now turn on automatically only for 1 Gb RAM devices, for 2 Gb it disabled by default
Return to "1 core per modules" CPU mode
Return Interactive Pro and Intel governors
Remove InteractiveX and Hotplug governors(sometime caused problems)
Replace WI-FI from module into kernel
03.06.2016
Full NTFS support for SD card
NTFS OTG full support by sibling Asus File Manager(read/write), from others file managers you can to see OTG NTFS devices, may see OTG NTFS devices from file chooser but you can't edit data. But you can edit platform.xml via NextAPP SDfix and can write on NTFS OTG devices with any apps
14.05.2016
Full ExFAT SDcard support such as stock kernel(Now you can see ExFAT sdcard in file chooser, can modified data even without Next APP SDfix)
Remove UKSM and disable KSM
16.04.2016
Fixed: restore signal after long dissapear
Fixed: random reboots in phone calls
Standart processor mode "2 cpus per module"
Remove Intel, Lagfree governors and FIFO scheduler(caused reboots)

06.02.2016
Hotpluging for all governors via MSM hotplug driver(I set 2 cores always online by default, you may tuning this driver via Kernel Auditor, point CPU Hotplug), possible fix the impossibility of restoring the network signal after a long stay outside the network, remove Hotplug governor(is no longer needed)
31.01.2016
Add Hotplug governor and set it by default, without load on CPU 1,2 or 3 cores will go to offline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBbC...ature=youtu.be

27.01.2016
Interactive governor from Asus ZenPad S 8.0 with adding hotplugging(2 threads=1 core go to offline, when screen off), underclock to 533 MHz, many code and drivers from source Asus Zenfone 2 ZE500CL, Ofast optimization
19.01.2016
Add and turn on Ultra kernel samepage merging(UKSM) technology a place of KSM, underclock to 450 MHz, may be fixed all random reboots besides during long phone calls, when dt2w is on(or fix? I don't know)

if.bin
11.12.2015
1. Add frandom Linux kernel generator
2. Add Bioshock, Lagfree, lionheart, Wheatley governors
