It would be nice if you could add "DriveDroid (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196707)" support in the kernel.

Here is the kernel patch, which enables CD-rom drive emulation.

And "USB Fast Charge" would be nice as well. It allows to charge faster when connected to a PC via USB.
Here is a example from the ElementalX Kernel. But they are using a install script in which you can enable this features.

Regarding exfat support. I'm not sure if there is a license or patent issue.

forumkali,

Great find on DriveDroid as I had never heard of it before. I think it's a wonderful idea to be able to boot from a kali.iso on your phone and will implement it into the non-CM kernels. I've started pushing the patches to some of the kernels, some had rejects so I need to look closer at those.

USB Fast charge is included in most of the kernels but I don't believe it is enabled by default (I don't believe it's in N7 2013).

I'll double check on exfat support also. Thanks for

Double-Tap function to wake up would be also great :p

How about the kernel patch for kexec-hardboot? It'd be nice to hide away my nefarious activities. ;)

All the kernels should have kexec patch already...for your activities.

Could you add SnoopSnitch (IMSI catchers detector) support in the Kernel (enabling DIAG mode).

There is AIMSICD but SnoopSnitch has more possibility's. Therefore it needs more access.
