- 2.20.40.30 and 2.21.40.30 WW Kitkat Version
- AOSP ROM by Shakalaca
- Custom Rom Zenfone 5 PinasLang BazzROM
*Features of the "ZenfoneIndia2X-4X Kernel V.6 Stable release"*
1. 2 CPU cores are switched off when screen is off instead of 3 cores but CPU
boostpulse has been reduced for better deep
sleep.
2. By Default 2 CPU Cores are disabled with minor loss in performance.
Use this mode for Whatsapp, facebook, music , messenger apps ..etc apps whi
ch dont need heavy processing.
-

Camera works.
IMPROVED BATTERY.(HDR mode needs 4 cores)
IMPROVED SMOOTHNESS IN TRANSITIONS.
IMPROVED FREQUENCY SCALING.
IMPROVED DEEP SLEEP BATTERY SAVING.

3. You can manually activate 4 CPU cores for higher performance.

*NEW CHANGES*- "HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN 2 CORES AND 4 CORES"
To enable and disable 4 cores :
Turn off screen and wake up after 3 seconds (DO IT TWICE)
[ eg: Turn off screen and wake up after 3 seconds...
..Turn off screen again and wake up again after 3 seconds ]
- 4 cores get enabled after you do the above. If you repeat the same process
it

comes back to 2 cores.

In 4 cores mode: When screen is on 4 cores are active, Screen off sleeps to
2 cores in low CPU boostpulse mode. But it always
wakes to 4
core mode.
In 2 cores mode: When screen is on 2 cores are active, Screen off sleeps to
2 cores in low CPU boostpulse mode and wakes to 2
cores only.

**This is to prevent any accidental activation or deactivation of cores.**

- Do it before starting heavier apps or games if needed.
- Don't do it while heavy apps/games are already running.
- If you switch off screen again it sleeps to 2 cores but will always wake
up to 4 cores until you disable 4 core mode.
4. Stability issues and hanging issues of version 5 fixed. SD CARD issue fixed
.
The boot up process and bootanimation is slow. Switch off screen once after
the boot up process to remove any lag.
No need to root device
KEEP GOVERNOR as INTERACTIVE if you have rooted your device. Uninstall CPU
controlling apps and reboot. Xposed modules
and gravity box may interfere w
ith the smooth function.
