Hello Captivators (shameless kang from Tegrak), happy hump day! This is TalonMTD, for CM7 and MIUI (and potentially other MTD based ROMs). This kernel has nearly all of the features of TalonDEV--and more coming sooner than later. Lets get straight into it!

Code:
Features
[LIST]
[*]Overclock up to 1440MHz/Undervolt for all frequencies (having only 5 frequencies undervolted seems most stable)
[*]Nexus S Framebuffer
[*]Voodoo Color v2 (No yellow tint!)
[*]Voodoo Sound v10
[*]Based on Linux kernel 2.6.35.13
[*]GPU overclock
[*]GPU Tweaks
[*]Bonus Governors: InteractiveX, Smartass, Conservative governor compiled as a module (not enableable yet)
[*]Bonus Schedulers: SIO, V(R), BFQ2r1, CFQ with tweaks
[*]Undervolted ADC and RAM
[*]Disabled Userspace governor
[*]Kangsterizer’s LED notifications
[*]Asynchronous I/O support
[*]Logcat compiled as a module, must be enabled via ‘logcat-on’
[*]Lowmemorykiller tweaks by kodos96
[*]Jhash3
[*]RAM tweaks
[*]Readahead tweaks
[*]Kernel HZ set at 250
[*]Disabled kernel printk for less overhead
[*]KTLO (Keep the Lights On)
[*]Samsung ARM fix
[*]16.25 lbs. of ext4 fixes
[/LIST]

Code:
#include <std/disclaimer.h>
/*
 * While this build is heavily optimized, it is also capable of pushing your Captivate
 * much harder. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or the current economic crisis. Please do some
 * research if you have any concerns about features included in this kernel
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

Many thanks to my co-devs eXistZ, kodos96, and zacharias.maladroit/zachy_md. (original Talon thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050206)

Huge thanks to
  • Supercurio
  • Teamhacksung
  • morfic
  • netarchy
  • TheEscapist
  • TK-Glitch
  • kangsterizer

And a great big final thanks to my testers, the great folks who put up with me breaking stuff and putting up a new build every 5 minutes, the guys who pushed me to greater heights to get stuff done:
  • Shoman94
  • Vivified (the great motivator)
  • Thegodsquirrel
  • Abee_13
  • lownox
Wanna say thanks? Buy me a root beer, and/or hit thanks.

My breath smells like normal breath.

0.0.3 (Maintenance Upgrade)

0.0.2
  • Improved USB signal quality
  • OndemandX governor (offers sleep power consumption improvements over ondemand, not ready for the big time yet. Seems to cause 3D choppiness.)
  • Fixed enable_conservative script (released separately, coming soon)
  • Upstream DVFS fixes
  • Many more ARM fixes (for more information visit http://existz.darkirc.info/git/?p=kernel/talonmtd.git;a=shortlog and take a look at the ARM fixes)
  • Low power mode support (buggy)
  • Upstream touchkey tweak to prevent accidental button pushing
  • BUMPED OVERCLOCK VOLTAGES--People were reporting serious instability, so I bumped the voltages. This should fix the majority of issues.
  • init.d cleaning script from zacharias.maladroit
  • Major tweaks from Infuse to help with CPU scaling above 1000 MHz

Nice job running awesome.

EDIT: This Kernel is what we needed here in MIUI land and I thank you on grabbing the reigns when we threw it at you.

Great job on incorporating the goods before releasing!

I love you can't wait to test this.

Edit: what time zone midnight? Lolol

Great to see Talon forks in CM7/MIUI. My 100% support for this.

Edit: Any plans for this to support i9000 as well?

I have a question;

I liked CM7 until the battery drain made it near difficult to use; will using this Talon kernel possibly fix the drain issue? If so, then I'm going to consider switching back.

Short answer--No. Long answer, while the kernel can not fix battery life completely, it can do something for it. Your problems won't be completely fixed, but will be somewhat mitigated.

Can I ask what problems Gingerbread bootloaders cause?

Mounting SD card issues. There is a fix in the works.

To tell you the truth I'm getting the same battery life I had with Continuum. Some people are still getting drains depending on apps being used and such. There are so many variables to consider that I could tell you. You have to try it out and see how things go. Test different kernel settings in Voltage Control .... and monitor programs used to find what the culprit may be.

It has always been an issue until the latest round of Kernel updates. It mainly effects external SDCARDS but Vivified had a few intermittent issues with seeing the internel SDCard. (He wasn't running this kernel at the time).

What would happen if you use it with GB bootloaders?
