ktoonsez kernels for 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.*, for Touchwiz, AOSP and Google Edition, ROMs, updated! 
"Change Log 02.24.2014
1. KTweaker: KTweaker update to 6.2.
2. KTweaker: New Widget by request from you guys, its a quick Profile chooser, simply click the text area left of the "Set" (if you see "-----" then it means you never did a restore profile) button and it will scroll thru all the profiles you have on your phone. Once you have the one you want, click the "Set" button . The widget is also sizable so you can size it from 1x1 all the way up to 4x1.
3. Merged in TW 4.4 into GE 4.4 version, sound is much crisper and louder
4. Added faux sound to TW 4.4
5. ktoonservativeq: New tunables called super_conservative_screen_on and super_conservative_screen_off (remove old super_conservative) so people can choose when they want to go super conservative. Be sure to go set these items if you used the old super_conservative item.
6. Added my newest settings to the KTShop as ktoonsified v5.
7. Linux 3.4.81
8. Changed upgrade routine to not try to upgrade files with .xml extention in the /ktweaker/ folder
9. Couple other general fixes in KTweaker and KTmonitor."

ktoonsez kernels for 4.3, 4.4.*, for Touchwiz, AOSP and Google Edition, ROMs, updated!
"Change Log 03.06.2014
1. NEW!!!!!!! LED: 3 New options in KTweaker to select from, "Disable LED Start Hour", "Disable LED Stop Hour", "Disable LED Always". Start and Stop value are in 24 hour military time.
2. NEW!!!!!!! "Screen Wake Options" of: Sweep 2 Wake, Sweep 2 Wake ONLY on Charger, Double Tap 2 Wake, Double Tap 2 Wake ONLY on Charger, Both, Both ONLY on Charger.
3. Screen Wake Options: For Sweep 2 Wake, sweep the screen from left to right or right to left to turn on the screen.
4. Screen Wake Options: For Double Tap 2 Wake, double tap the screen if the bottom left corner to turn on the screen.
5. NEW!!!!!!! "Sensor Wake Options" of: Wave 2 Wake, Wave 2 Wake ONLY on Charger, Pocket 2 Wake, Pocket 2 Wake ONLY on Charger, Both, Both ONLY on Charger.
6. Sensor Wake Options: For Wave 2 Wake, hold your hand in from of the proximity sensor for about 1/2 second and then wave it back and forth to turn on the screen.
7. Sensor Wake Options: For Pocket 2 Wake, simply have the phone in your pocket for at least 10 seconds, take it out and the screen turns on.
8. NEW!!!!!!! "Hold Wake Lock for Wake" of: Check them out, there is freaking 18 of them, lol. By using any of these methods you will guarantee that the wake methods will work, without them its a crap shoot. My favorite is "Enabled ALWAYS on LED notif", this will turn on a wake lock when the LED is blinking for a notification and will obey your "Disable LED Start Hour" and "Disable LED Stop Hour" to block a wake lock when u dont want LED on. The name of the wake lock is "kt_wake_funcs" so you can track it when using them.
9. FastCharge: Completely re-did FastCharge interface adapted from Jean-Pierre and Paul Reioux. There are 3 options now for for the main selection (Enabled, Disabled, Custom mA)
10. FastCharge: When Custom mA is selected, it will obey the "Custom USB mA" and "Custom A/C mA".
11. FastCharge: Another new option is "Fail safe", when enabled it will use the lowest A/C or USB value when the cable type is UNKNOWN. When disabled it will allow you to use any custom mA instead of the predefined ones that you will see in Ktweaker when choosing the 2 Custom mA's.
12. Removed some more dmesg spam to keep logs clean and fast.
13. Linux 3.4.82
14. New ADB binry for wifi support.
15. Ramdisk merge from the CM changes for AOSP.
16. KTweaker: KTweaker update to 6.4 adding all the features from above for wake functions and new Fast Charge options.
17. KTweaker: Added menu item on main screen to quick toggle Fast Charge for Enabled/Disabled.
18. Date added to the OP links so everybody knows what the last date that particular kernel was updated last."

Anyone had issues with this latest kernel. I installed yesterday and it completely fubared my phone, boot looping and everything.....
And in typical kamikaze style, I'd recently got rid of my nandroid.....schoolboy error.
So now had to Odin flash djembey mh1 to get things working again. Back to echoe ge 2.2 later this weekend when I got more time.
Could it have been because I had a profile set on boot on ktweaker, and forgot to wipe this before installing the latest version??

No problems here Syd. I did a dirty flash over KT 02.24.2014 with a cache and dalvik wipe and it rebooted fine, into my profile that I was using previously.
Is now a good time to mention the Syd K.o.D; (Kiss of Death)? :vamp:
Top Tip: It's always a good idea to keep a few copies of Clockworkmod backups on your computer or, better still, in DropBox or similar.

ktoonsez kernels for 4.3, 4.4.*, for Touchwiz, AOSP and Google Edition, ROMs, updated!
"Change Log 03.10.2014
1. Improved Sweep 2 wake recognition.
2. Ignore double tap if more than 1 finger is used.
3. New option for "Hold Wake Lock for wake" called "Enabled ONLY while charging" so you can choose to only hold wake lock during charging.
4. Added wake lock montitor so wake locks can be kicked back on if they are killed prematurely.
5. New "Prox value when clear" added so you can specify the prox value to allow the screen wakes to still work when your prox is not functioning properly/dirty.
6. New item under "Tools" called "Prox Sensor Checker". Click it start/stop the monitor timer. Use this to see what you 100% clear prox value is, then add 20 to that number and use it for the "Prox value when clear" value mention in #5 above.
7. LEDs: Added some code that was needed on the TW version to catch all the notification scenerios.
8. Fix the issue where touch screen would become unresponsive on TW ROMs.
9. Thats all I can remember, ENJOY!!!!!"

ktoonsez kernels for 4.3, 4.4.*, for Touchwiz, AOSP and Google Edition, ROMs, updated!
"Change Log 03.12.2014
1. Improved "on a phone call" code to make sure it is isnt executing the screen wake code while screen is off and you are on a call.
2. Increased speed for wake up on the screen wake functions, sensor wake functions wake a little quicker too but will always be limited by the 1 second timer.
3. Finally found a better spot to trigger and make the screen turn on way quicker when an incoming call is coming in.
4. KTweaker version 6.6.
5. NEW item under "Tools" screen called "Charging Current". You can click on the item and it will update the field with the current mA it is charging at.
6. NEW item under "Fast Charge" called "MTP while fast charging". Enabled will keep MTP on so you can still access the phone, disabled will disable MTP and you will not be able to access it, just simply charges. To take effect this option requires the cable to be unplugged and re-plugged in.
7. NEW item under "Fast Charge" called "Screen ON charging limit". BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS ITEM!!!!!!! When enabled it will keep the Samsung limit they imposed of 1200 mA while charging and the screen is on, if it is disabled it will allow you to charge at the full 1900 mA or whatever custom mA you have set for A/C. To take effect this option requires the cable to be unplugged and re-plugged in."

Have been using the latest KT GE kernel, 03.27.2014, on my usual Echoe GE KitKat v2.2 ROM with the Super Bull 2.1, (amended), profile, as usual. Whilst it is very slick and smooth I am noticing that the screen on time is eating up the battery a lot faster than previous KT kernels on the same profile and ROM. I have reverted back to 03.19.2014 for now.

Even stranger: I reinstalled WhatsApp, launched it and it continued working like nothing happened (including old conversations)...
And this goes for all the missing apps... :stupid: I reinstalled Nova Launcher, which made most of the apps reappear, and after installing the remaining few, everything is back to normal, including all different app-settings
No big deal in the end, but very unusual that a kernel-update would cause this
