Did you end up using the 4/25 build that says jb? That's the only file with that date on it.
Is that file still good to go with a stock rooted sense ROM?

10/23/11
- Ext4 driver used to mount ext2/3 filesystems (default in cyanogenmod and incredikernel)
- Updated to new OJ driver from Cyanogenmod kernel
[*]Sysfs interface for SVS (can now use incredicontrol)Not working properly

Known issues:
- Beats will not work. This is not a specific issue with this kernel but rather that the support is not built into the stock kernel. It worked in the port but I'm not sure what needs to be changed.
- Incredicontrol force closes when trying to open the HAVS tab. This only seems to happen at boot and clears up. Since it clears up on it's own, I don't think it's a kernel issue though but I'm leaving it on here so people are aware.
*Disclaimer*
Please do not report bugs if you overclock or undervolt/overvolt differently than what is set by default. It adds too many variables. Set CPU max back to 998 and report a bug then if it doesn't go away after that.
I am not supporting the older .10 kernels at this time though if you decide to still use it I may need your assistance to get Beats audio working.
*Note*
1. Just because it's been asked before about what ROMs this kernel supports, this kernel does not need to be built to support any particular ROM but is confirmed to be working fine on many of the most popular Gingerbread Sense ROM by multiple users and several leading devs. If it does not work on your ROM let the dev know first in case it's a known issue.
2. Smartass (v1 and v2) has a built in min speed of 245 and will go to the set min speed only when the screen is off. Due to the nature of the governor, don't use a screen off profile with Smartass. It has been reported to cause issues. If you want a screen off profile use a different governor.
OC voltages are set to the same as 998 Mhz. Sense is a tricky animal when it comes to voltage adjustments. I had about 10x the issues with undervolting on sense froyo as on aosp, but maybe it's because that kernel was undervolted more.
*Important*
If you get random reboots or freezes on the new kernels (10/31 or 11/2), I will need the logs of that:
If it's a reboot grab the file /proc/last_kmsg using adb or root explorer. For adb setup please do a search on xda or the internet.
It would be adb pull /proc/last_kmsg for the adb command.
For root explorer just copy to the sdcard. It's a text file so you can post it online and post the link here or attach to your post when you report the issue.
If it is a freeze try to use logcat and output to a file when you're trying to reproduce it. Google logcat usage if needed. Also grab the last_kmsg after rebooting.

Update: 11/15/12 - I've added a mirror for my files on goo.

Source Code(Dev Only, not flashable)
Github.com Kernel Source
All releases are built from the master branch.
The config for the kernel is in arch/arm/configs/incrediblec_defconfig.
I use the GCC 4.4.3 toolchain for this kernel due to GCC 4.6 causing build issues.
Below is a link to the original tiny-gingersense source which is a hybrid kernel running off code released for the Evo Sense kernel as well as some code from the Froyo Incredible sense kernel. This one uses the master branch as well and the same config filename and toolchain as v2.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Some key differences between smartass and smartassv2 so users can decide which they prefer and learn a bit more about the differences:
Smartass
1. Screen off profile built in maxed at 384mhz.
2. Wakeup frequency is 998mhz.
3. Min screen on is 245mhz.
4. Improved by Chad to run better on our devices.
5. Purely load based, no ideal value.
Smartassv2
1. This is the same exact governor in Erasmux's Nexus One kernel (github.com/erasmux/n1-kernel)
2. Ideal wake frequency is 768 (also default that can be changed).
3. Screen on min is actually 128mhz).
4. No screen off profile.
5. Ideal sleep frequency 245mhz.
6. Improved upon from erasmux's version, not Chad's.
Basically the smartassv2 ideal wake frequency allows the phone to favor a certain speed to attempt to save battery life. It can still go above ideal wake and below ideal sleep so there's no caps on max and min while awake or sleep.
Some tips/info on various governors:
Smartass/smartassv2/interactive:
Use 128 min so the governor can scale as it needs to. Max speed I'd recommend at least 768Mhz.
Ondemand:
Try 128 min and if it lags use 245 min. Max speed I'd recommend at least 768Mhz.
Performance:
Only recommended for benchmarks but speed will always run at max.
InteractiveX:
Same as interactive except it has an auto screen off set to the min. Ideal with 245 min in setcpu but try 128 for battery life but it you have wake lag then set to 245.
Intellidemand:
Based on ondemand with a built in screen off. Any speed settings should be fine.
Interactive:
Some new features with this one. Starting with 10/4/12 release I am using the interactive kernel from Google which features a new kernel option called input_boost.
It is off by default but can be enabled by writing a 1 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/input_boost. Also there is another parameter for interactive called hispeed_freq in the same location. The hispeed_freq is where the governor jumps to first. Hispeed_freq by default is 614400 to help save battery. In the older interactive governor there was a maxspeed freq which meant the governor was a bit jumpier to the max speed. This should be a good blend of performance and battery.
ZRAM, what is it and how to I add it? (starting officially with 12/31/11)
If you are familiar with swap space in linux or virtual memory in Windows it is a similar concept. Except instead of using the hard drive as swap space it compresses swap space in RAM for faster access times than conventional swap. This will also wear out our storage memory less than typical swapping.
Enable ZRAM is simple thanks to a script built by imoseyon which is provided in the kernel zip file. To enable, use adb shell or download a terminal app and run zram enable. This will persist across reboots (if init.d is setup in your ROM) so if you don't want it anymore run zram disable and it will remove the bootscript and deactivate it.
You need to have root privileges to enable/disable zram. Run the su command in terminal emulator to request root.7Tiny, I PMd you about the vibrator, should be an easy fix.
And I would also like to commend tiny for doing the work on this. It has lifted a bit of a burden off of my shoulders since I simply didn't have the time to put work into it myself. He's quite adept and problem solving and was able to continue when he ran into a problem with just a little bit of guidance. I trust that he will put out a good kernel.5
You know, Chad, in years of practicing law and being involved in politics, I've seen lots of conservative governers, quite a few who (for a price) could be ondemand, and more than a handful of smartasses, but I've never seen an ingenious governor.
