[KERNEL][04 SEP]franco.Kernel |.v19.4| 2.6.32.46

[b]04 - September - 2011 - v19.4[/b]
[list]
[*] Patched 2.6.32.46
[*] ZRAM is gone. Causes too much confusion for the users and we actually don't need any swap
[*] Big patchlist from ck kolivas to remove anything related to swap and to increase responsiveness of the system overall
[*] Add SmartassV2
[*] Autogroup patch for the CFS version to increase multi-tasking responsiveness
[*] ipv6 enabled again
[*] Vsync on again by popular demand
[/list]

[b]22 - August - 2011 - v19.3[/b]
[list]
[*] Updated to 2.6.32.45 from upstream
[*] Various .config changes researched by [B]fserve[/B]
[*] Changed a lot of network options. Now network usage (internet) should be a LOT faster and consume less battery
[/list]

[b]13 - August - 2011 - v19.2[/b]
[list]
[*] Screen hang bug fixed - ****ing newer compiler was faulty
[*] Few tweaks here and there
[*] Some reverts to make the kernel more stable
[*] ext3 is enabled again
[*] Maybe one or two things that I might be forgetting
[/list]

[b]10 - August - 2011 - v19.1[/b]
[list]
[*] Updated to 2.6.32.44 from upstream
[*] Fixed headset bug
[*] The screen hang should be fixed
[*] Very small CFS tweak
[/list]

[b]6 - August - 2011 - v19[/b]
[list]
[*] TinyRCU is again the default. I think the RCU boost thingy that I backported was the cause for some battery drain.
[*] Good touchscreen drivers which should have the CPU **** fixed and the axis inversion workaround
[*] Scary and Minmax governors added
[*] Updated to the latest 2.6.32.43 from the upstream
[/list]

[b]2 - July - 2011 - v18.1[/b]
[list]
[*] I don't remember what I did in this release but the BIG things are:
[*] RCU BOOST and TinyPreempt RCU backported from 2.6.35. Big big boost from this one
[*] Touchscreen drivers ported from the 2.6.35.10 official LG kernel
