Welcome to Starship Kernel for the Nexus 6.
Not much to say other than after switching from the N5 to the N6 a few month ago found a few things I thought could be improved. Originally intended on taking some development time off but easier said than done. Was not long till I started looking around Github looking at what other developers had done and see if I could not at least spruce up the Kernel a bit for my own personal usage and maybe a few friends. Based on feedback received have decided to go ahead and post it. I know its a little late for a Stock/AOSP Lollipop Kernel at this point but still a bit of time left for Lollipop and am now starting the process of getting ready for “M”. I use my Nexus very heavily for work so for the most part tend to stay Stock or AOSP. I used to use Cyanogen a lot and had intended on also creating a CM version of the Kernel but my CM usage has dramatically decreased since moving over to using Nexus devices so may or may not still finish a CM version of the Kernel.
Definitely need to throw up thanks to Flair2, Imoseyon and Neoboddy89 as have used a decent amount of their commits.
Features Worth Noting
Faster USB Charging
LZ4 Compression
sio & bfq i/o schedulers (bfq used as default)
Power Efficient Workqueue
Linux Version 3.10.84
Also includes a decent amount of small optimizations throughout the Kernel that boost the overall all around performance. Have not done anything fancy or have included overclocking or voltage control or anything along those lines so if looking for something new to play with this is definitely not the Kernel you are looking for.

Otherwise this is probably going to be a one and done post unless I am just as happy with the “M” Kernel I am working on in preparation for the official 6.0 release. Have also decided to continue the Starship banner based on a series of Roms I have done for other devices to add a little credibility for anyone who had used my past Roms. Have not released a full Rom since Kit-Kat but who knows was practically married last winter and so far looks like I will be spending this years Winter trapped in from the cold alone so who knows what the future may hold for my Starship Brand, lol!
