@TA: what about adding conservative governer from franco instead of backporting it? I feel its lot more stable and better compared to other governers. If ans is no can you specify the reasons behind it?
Also in the changelog there is no mention of bus frequency overclocking, which is a good feature to include in my opinion.

TA,

If you want to make a stable kernel for us, you should follow msm kernel, not linux kernel.

Kernel.org's 2.6.35.14 is not suitable for msm chipsets and big number doesn't mean good kernel. Currently, the stable msm kernel for android is 2.6.35.11:

If you want to start a new kernel based on 3.x (android), follow ics_chocolate:

I thought your kernel implemented Der - Caveman's Touchscreen Driver.

Just tried touchscreen driver from Dercaveman...

And I realized this:
My touchscreen - Better multitouch, CPU spike was reduced a little (5-15%/ 1 touch) , but you have to press the screen harder :(.
Der_Caveman touchscreen driver: No CPU spike, touchscreen responsed fast, normal multitouch...

Also please increase VM_HEAPSIZE to 512, i think like that is called, for increasing the speed of read/write to SDCRAD by default to avoid using third party apps like SD BOOSTER.

Thank you.

    First, i want to say thanks to:
    • Fserve, Hephappy, PaoloM70, Roqu3, doixanh : For every things. All credits give to you guy, specially is Fserve, Thank you Gerson :)!
    • af974, YZ: Thanks for being good Moderators for XDA Forum :D
    • Cyanogenmod Team, Code Aurora Forum: Special Thanks for sharing their kernel source with a lot of patches! :).
    • Tasssadar: For many advices :D.
    • DJNoxD: Big Thank for helping me and to fix errors :D
    • alezardstar, Aspee, RockR172, Andy572: Big thanks for helping me a lot :D
    • Der_Caveman, Mik_os, Franco Francisco, selphien and.... sorry i can't remember all people, Thanks for sharing and advising! :)
    • All XDA "GOOD" Members :D.

    Bassiclly Features:
    • Based on "gingerbread_rel" branch from Code Aurora Forum, merged into CM7 official kernel source. Thanks to Hephappy for doing this ;).
    • Backported stuffs from 3.0 kernel to make this kernel run on ICS ROM - All Credits to LGICS Team.
    • Updated kernel version from 2.6.35.10 to 2.6.35.14 with Power Management patches for better battery life.
    • Completly Fair Scheduler with Autogroup feature.
    • Overclocking support. CPU Frequencies that added: from 652Mhz - 806Mhz.
      - Tip: Most of P500 can overclock to 729Mhz, becareful with higher frequencies.
    • Implemented SmartassV2 Governor with optimizations. Use as default governor.
    • Implemented optimized touch screen driver with multi-touching hack and High CPU Usage bug workaround (CPU Usage goes high when you touch the screen).
      - Thanks to Der_Caveman for rewriting a better touch screen driver, waleedq and sippolo for implementing Axis Inversion hack, fserve for High CPU Usage bug fixes.
    • Camera Flickering fix ;)
    • Tons of patches/tweaks from CAF, Cyanogenmod, me, many other people... All credits to them!

    Bugs:
    • Enabling GPS will bring "GPS wakelock". This will prevent your phone from going to deep sleep
      Fix: Reboot your phone after enable GPS.
    • Random Rebooting... Nothing to say!

    Reporting bugs:
    • Provide logcat when report bugs!

    How to install:
    • Install the Kernel:
      • Reboot to Recovery.
      • Backup all thing FIRST!
      • Choose the caf-p500-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.zip (xxxxxxxx-xxxx is the kernel version)
      • Done it right? Reboot the system and Enjoy.

    Tricks/Tips for getting better battery life:
    • Use the default governor - smartassv2! Highly Recommend!
    • Don't use CPU Profiles, SmartassV2 already has that.
    • Don't over clock your phone to higher than 729Mhz.

    Hi Guys, well, i think that i've worked hard on kernel for a month. But, today, i think that i should stop, because now i have a lot of homework and many exams. When 20/6, i will have the biggest TESTS, if i fail one of them, so, my life will go down, and i can't get a job, so i will be a poor guy or will be so hard to earn money.... Now i just have about 3 months to learn, the tests will include what i have learn from 3 years ago until now, they will choose the hard excercise and put it to the exams.

    Well, i have to stop, but i still help the dev if they need. And all you still can use my kernel source , fix , clean and develop it... do more, develop never be stop, it will always go forward!
