ButteredToast (Buttery smooth and extremely wicked)

CDMA/GSM Ice Cream Sandwich, sense 3.6, 4.x, AOSP

Be Gentle folks: This is my first kernel rodeo after many months of studying how the great ones do it.I hope you like it, if you dont then theres the door (figuratively).

Toolchain/Compiler: linaro 4.7.3

REPO -> https://bitbucket.org/bigwillyg/buttered_toast_shooter

KERNEL SENSE -> ButteredToast Final Version

Sweet kernel -O3 optimized for linaro 4.7.3 compiler (dont ask how, my head still hurts)

Changelog: Changelog is in post #2

Here are the settings that I personally pick in aroma:

Governor: ondemand
Min cpu: 384
Max cpu: 1512
Max scr off: 540
S2w: enabled with back light
S2w start: home
S2w end: search
Scheduler: deadline

12/03/2012: With RLS14 and newer, the option for selecting sense vs aosp camera is back. This option is for older base aosp/cm10 roms that still use the aosp camers drivers.

If I missed any settings let me know. Most of these are the defaults, but they are all what I personally choose.

Nice to see more kernels here.

Edit: I just installed this kernel, performance feels pretty good. I'll give it a couple of days and see how battery does.

Thank you and great job.

It isn't a stock kernel so it should work with any hboot. I currently run it with the eng-1.04. I have only seen the hboot issue creep up with the stock sprint 2.89 kernel and some sense 4.1 roms.

Thanks for the kind remarks fellas, I would recommend a second reboot 10 minutes in after you let it settle.
