Have you given one of the dark overlay themes a try ?

Of course it's also a question of liking dark os vs. bright LP material style.

But I suppose it would be possible to enable grayscale mode on battery saving mode, although grey = all three base colors on, which might actually use more juice than the same brightness in let's say in just red (= 1 led vs. 3 leds per pixel on = 66% less battery draw).

No i have not tried, the dark themes just because I'm not a big fan of it. Maybe i should try it out and give it a shot.

Sure is a question of liking, and on most devices it's really actually only about liking, when those devices use a backlit LCD display.

On devices with Amoled display, though, using dark themes is the best way to significantly increase battery life during screen on, since the display is the biggest battery consumer, and having black on an Amoled display means not using any battery, while having white (full brightness) means using battery the most.

On LCD displays only display brightness has an impact on battery draw, the color of what is shown on the display doesn't matter the least, so a black screen uses the same battery as a white screen at the same given backlight brightness.

Well worth a try so

Hi Yank,
I have used your kernel on my old S3 and it was amazing.
I have nexus 6 now and my OS version is android 5.1, LMY47I, As I understand your kernel does not support the new version. Can you make the kernel available for the new build of Shamu.

Best regards,
Abhilash

Will come with SlimLP 5.1, so it shouldn't be very long

Is there any news for new version of your kernel that support Android 5.1.x ?

Kernal Update

This kernel uses AOSP ramfs, not SlimLP, it should work, but this might break built in su, use SuperSU in that case. As soon as I have a moment, I'll repack the kernel in 5.1.1 SlimLP ramfs.

Changelog v1.0 (18/04/2015)

• updated to Google 3.10-lollipop-mr1 sources aka. Android 5.1 (Yank555.lu)
• ramfs: using AOSP 5.1_r5 ramfs

Thanks for the update.

Any time you find time check the BFS CPU Scheduler and see you can implement it inside your kernel too, it's really help tom improve some lag on the phone compare to the Stock scheduler.

I'll certainly give this a close look as soon as I get a little free time, thx for the link.

Yank,

Did you got any chance to take a look at the BFS Scheduler on the ZEN and see you can use it on your kernel too?
