I would like to thank a few people whose contributions to the Streak Community have helped me to create the Balanced Kernel. Sergei (_n0p_) and the DSC Team for their Phoenix Kernel, 985hPaKicK for his source code for his CM7 Port. DJ Steve and Fards for their GB Kernel. The Team at Cyanogenmod for all of their ROM work. All of the Beta testers for your suggestions and time spent. The Kernel is kind of a Frankenstein of tweaks and codes from a few months of research and testing from Dell, XDA, Modaco, Github, Google and more. I am sure I have missed someone, let me know and I will add you to ther list. Once again Thank You all for putting up with all of the different builds and mistakes that I have made in the process of making Longhorn what it is today.
Balanced Kernel Key Features:
Governors added;
brazilianwax, conservative, interactive, interactivex, lagfree, lazy, lionheart, minmax, ondemand, performance, powersave, savagedzen, scary, smartassv2, smoothass, and userspace
Schedulers Added;
cfq, deadline, noop, sio, and vr
Frequency tables to add all the frequencies available between 128K and 998K;
128000, 245760, 384000, 422400, 460800, 499200, 537600, 614400, 652800, 691200, 729600, 768000, 806400, 844800, 883200, 921600, 960000, 998400
The Voltages were adjusted from 950-1400 by 25mV to help with power saving.
Here is the next installment for Longhorn. I changed the default Launcher to HoloLauncher. It is an ICS clone that is very lightweight and quick. I have improved the battery life slightly and made a few other tweaks. Thanks to all of those that have help to make this Rom what it is today.
BIG CHANGE: In order to do a Complete Factory Reset, You will need to do a StreakMod Wipe Data/Factory Reset as well as a Dell Factory Reset.

Longhorn 2.9.3 Changes
Less Lag Tweaks
Longhorn Balanced Kernel (366BB compatible)
New CM Boot Animation
Optimized Tweaks
Longhorn 2.9.1 Changes:
Added LMK settings
Adjusted Lag settings
Fixed issue with video recorder
Notification LEDs on by default ( to remove LED notifications, delete LED section in post _boot.sh)
Longhorn 2.9 Changes:
HDPI Resolution
I/O Tweaks and File System optimizations
Adjusted Bluetooth settings
Added DSC Universal Kernel (366BB compatible)

Longhorn 2.7 is a little bit different as I have re-added most of the CM7 Functionality back into the Rom, with it still being bare bones. So now the Theme chooser and CM Settings are built into it already. Longhorn 2.7 has a Red and Black theme that comes stock. I have changed the scheduler and made a few minor tweaks to help speed up the I/O a bit. The minimum frequency is 128mHz and the max is 1267mHz due to the zdrive from DSC CM Kernel. Battery life is moderate, but can use some improvement.
Longhorn 2.7 Changes:
Added CM7 Theme Chooser
Added CM Settings Functionality
Added Red and Black Theme
Added Modified DSC Kernel
Changed Scheduler
Tweaked minor settings
Longhorn 2.6 is based on CM7, but those CM7 functions have been removed (98% of them), and what is left is Android 2.3.7 If you want those Functions to work here is the original Link to CM7 and MIUI Ports http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528412 A huge thanks goes out to 985hPaKicK and the entire DSC Team for their work..

As far as Keyboard FCing, you can use a different keyboard. I have provided another Gingerboard keyboard.
