Well my arndale-octa (Exynos 5420) still only runs 4 A15s and no A7s,
and apparently samsung doesn't give a shit about fixing it (apparently
the 5422 and 5800 work fine), and everyone else that does can't get access
to the right information because of samsung.  So I can't try it out.

Did you try the current version (0.32 I believe).  After all it could
be something that was already fixed.
