Optional Under voltage: Version 0.1.4+ ONLY

CPU Frequency Voltage Table Example
Optional: Stock Clock Frequencies for Dual CPUs

Optional: ZRAM (Compressed RAM swap space )

Low Voltage - Under Volt the processor, therefore uses Less Battery, but NOT ALL CHIPS can handle Under Volt.. If you experience instability, try the Stock Voltage Version.

Stock Voltage - Uses the voltage values from ORIGINAL HTC Kernel Source.

There are NO PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE between the Under Volted and Stock Voltage versions!

Installation Instructions:

Here's a step by step instruction to install this kernel:

1. download the above file (via phone directly or to a PC)
2. copy the downloaded zip file to /sdcard/download/
3. Open ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" and select "OK"
4. Once in recovery, select "wipe cache partition", select "Yes", then select "advanced", then select "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then select "Yes" again. Once finished, click the back button to go back to the main recovery menu. On that menu, select "Install Zip From SDCad", then select "Choose zip from SDCard", then go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
5. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"

Note: After FLASHING, the first reboot may take longer than usual, please be patient... After the first reboot, it may lag during initial load (let everything finish loading). Once everything is loaded and phone is ready for use, reboot the phone a 2nd time and the lag will be gone and everything should be silky smooth...

Standard Disclaimer: Not responsible for bricking your phone, voiding your warranty, or any other pain or suffering you may feel as result of using this kernel!!!

Flashing as I type

Edit: So far so good, booted back up in about three minutes. Speeds aren't autodetected by setcpu yet, but I assume that'll come when oc comes.

Use CPU Master for now.
