Root Second Core

I'm having a little trouble getting my second core to run. I flashed the anthrax kernel from a guide in this forum and I noticed slight lag and all so I thought I flashed an old kernel? The about phone says this uploadfromtaptalk1354485911082.jpg. So I went to the anthrax site, registered, and got approved but I can't seem to navigate myself around the site to find the kernel version I should download. Now I want to turn on my second core whenever I feel like it, is it possible? Like a widget switch to turn it on and off?
 
There's a kernel tuner app I think that comes with anthrax...you should see this:

Thank you very much! I'm trying to be more independent and find things out for myself instead of posting endless questions but this was a weird one lol.

Just remember, don't be afraid to ask questions ;) If everyone knew everything, why would we have a community for help?
 
It's disabled by default as well. Some kernels have it dual core at all tines, like power kernel
 
Yeah. Anthrax kernels will make the 2nd core sleep when it's not needed and will enable once the demand calls for it. It's more for power saving. I've literally experienced NO lag anywhere with MobsterROM lite and the latest anthrax, 1.56 GHz, lag free and SIO. Best set up I've had so far with everything working. I'm gonna stick with this set up until my Nexus 4 comes in.

Definitely an old kernel....

The newest kernel 3.7.0 can be found in the OP of chads anthrax'd cm10 thread
 
Correct.

Chad is very explicit about this. If you want to play, you've got to register and download from his forum

He wouldn't know the password anyway, in reality. But I didn't link for that reason. If he's a member, he should be able to find the kernels.
