Hi So this article talk about how the google engineers worked towards Kitkat. http://readwrite.com/2013/11/25/how-google-shrunk-android-for-version-44-kitkat#awesm=~op8zuizWgqE5N0
Does anyone know which kernel version they were using for this? Some internal kernel version that has never been released? Also seems there has been a lot of changes in the later kernels made by Google to the KSM features since the 3.40 kernel release. Any Google guys wanna comment on this. Is the test kernel you used for the Nexus 4 available some where?
