Thanks, BiteBlaze. First Rom that I have installed on my Kindle, went smooth as silk, no issues to report.
Great work and I look forward to your updates.
Hi, Is anyone have problem on WPA2 network? I have slow connection speed on my 802.11n router with WPA2 security. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi BiteBlaze,I am on a wpa2 network right now... and its like 0.1 mbps dl. I know its unbelievably fast! Is yours not working? Try reinstalling... if it doesn't work after install email me at the bug report address

Hi BiteBlaze,
Thank you for info. The slow connection is particular for downloading with app on Play Store. It seems fine and fast to connect my home network (video streaming). Do you think it is problem of Play store?
This looks and sounds promising. I might have to clock the cpu a little lower form the soundof it, as I prefer battery life to animation performance. Downloading now.
OK, I need help understanding something here.
From your screenshot I can tell you are using Quadrant for your benchmark. But I'm having trouble coming up with anything close to the same result.
When I test new rooms I always use the same procedures for benchmarking. I take an average of a series of tests (because the scores fluctuate) from 3 different benchmark utilities: Quadrant, Antutu and Smartbench. Each give me a different view of how each from runs. For example, Quadrant causes most of the ICS roms I test to freeze because of its 3D rendering tests. I use it to get a good idea of how stable the rom is.
Before benchmarking I always use Gemini App manager to block processes that have a tendency of popping up at random times like Calendar, Google Search, Gallery, etc. And I kill all non-essential processes before every test.
This system works for me and it give me as close to a baseline standard as I can get.
And although this rom is capable of consistently running Quadrant tests without locking up and it is definitely running at 1.3Ghz, the test scores are significantly less than other 1Ghz roms.
Why is this? Is anyone else able to replicate OP's scores without any tweaking?

Actually they are not the OP's scores. They are my scores and as such are independent from the actual rom developer. I ran the benchmark process directly after flashing the rom without doing any extra process blocking or whatnot, therefor there is no tweaking (which I might add using gemeni is). I ran the test three times with a fluctuation of 100 points, still well over the 3000 mark.
Well thank you! I was hoping to make a great Cm9 for the KF that all people can use and enjoy. And I guess I did according to emails I've received! Thanks for the feedback to all of those who did!

Performance Governor:
This locks the phone's CPU at maximum frequency. While this may sound like an ugly idea, there is growing evidence to suggest that running a phone at its maximum frequency at all times will allow a faster race-to-idle. Race-to-idle is the process by which a phone completes a given task, such as syncing email, and returns the CPU to the extremely efficient low-power state. This still requires extensive testing, and a kernel that properly implements a given CPU's C-states (low power states). For more on this, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus GLaDOS kernel from developer Ezekeel has been a pioneer in this space.
Conservative Governor:
This biases the phone to prefer the lowest possible clockspeed as often as possible. In other words, a larger and more persistent load must be placed on the CPU before the conservative governor will be prompted to raise the CPU clockspeed. Depending on how the developer has implemented this governor, and the minimum clockspeed chosen by the user, the conservative governor can introduce choppy performance. On the other hand, it can be good for battery life.
The Conservative Governor is also frequently described as a "slow OnDemand," if that helps to give you a more complete picture of its functionality.
OnDemand Governor:
This governor has a hair trigger for boosting clockspeed to the maximum speed set by the user. If the CPU load placed by the user abates, the OnDemand governor will slowly step back down through the kernel's frequency steppings until it settles at the lowest possible frequency, or the user executes another task to demand a ramp.
OnDemand has excellent interface fluidity because of its high-frequency bias, but it can also have a relatively negative effect on battery life versus other governors. OnDemand is commonly chosen by smartphone manufacturers because it is well-tested, reliable, and virtually guarantees the smoothest possible performance for the phone. This is so because users are vastly more likely to ***** about performance than they are the few hours of extra battery life another governor could have granted them.
This final fact is important to know before you read about the Interactive governor: OnDemand scales its clockspeed in a work queue context. In other words, once the task that triggered the clockspeed ramp is finished, OnDemand will attempt to move the clockspeed back to minimum. If the user executes another task that triggers OnDemand's ramp, the clockspeed will bounce from minimum to maximum. This can happen especially frequently if the user is multi-tasking. This, too, has negative implications for battery life.
Userspace Governor:
This governor, exceptionally rare for the world of mobile devices, allows any program executed by the user to set the CPU's operating frequency. This governor is more common amongst servers or desktop PCs where an application (like a power profile app) needs privileges to set the CPU clockspeed.
Powersave Governor:
The opposite of the Performance governor, the Powersave governor locks the CPU frequency at the lowest frequency set by the user.
Interactive Governor:
Much like the OnDemand governor, the Interactive governor dynamically scales CPU clockspeed in response to the workload placed on the CPU by the user. This is where the similarities end. Interactive is significantly more responsive than OnDemand, because it's faster at scaling to maximum frequency.
Unlike OnDemand, which you'll recall scales clockspeed in the context of a work queue, Interactive scales the clockspeed over the course of a timer set arbitrarily by the kernel developer. In other words, if an application demands a ramp to maximum clockspeed (by placing 100% load on the CPU), a user can execute another task before the governor starts reducing CPU frequency. This can eliminate the frequency bouncing discussed in the OnDemand section. Because of this timer, Interactive is also better prepared to utilize intermediate clockspeeds that fall between the minimum and maximum CPU frequencies. This is another pro-battery life benefit of Interactive.
However, because Interactive is permitted to spend more time at maximum frequency than OnDemand (for device performance reasons), the battery-saving benefits discussed above are effectively negated. Long story short, Interactive offers better performance than OnDemand (some say the best performance of any governor) and negligibly different battery life.
Interactive also makes the assumption that a user turning the screen on will shortly be followed by the user interacting with some application on their device. Because of this, screen on triggers a ramp to maximum clockspeed, followed by the timer behavior described above.
By far, Interactive is the default governor of choice for today's smartphone and tablet manufacturers.
InteractiveX Governor:
Created by kernel developer "Imoseyon," the InteractiveX governor is based heavily on the Interactive governor, enhanced with tuned timer parameters to better balance battery vs. performance. The InteractiveX governor's defining feature, however, is that it locks the CPU frequency to the user's lowest defined speed when the screen is off.
Hotplug Governor:
The Hotplug governor performs very similarly to the OnDemand governor, with the added benefit of being more precise about how it steps down through the kernel's frequency table as the governor measures the user's CPU load. However, the Hotplug governor's defining feature is its ability to turn unused CPU cores off during periods of low CPU utilization. This is known as "hotplugging."
Obviously, this governor is only available on multi-core devices.
[SIZE="3"]Kernel 3.0 (v1.2H) - Bugs:
- Only flash in TWRP
- Black screen for awhile on boot, wait it out
- Notification graphic glitch (my error, being fixed in v1.3 and v1.3H)
- Wifi - Works once; when you disconnect, you have to reboot to reconnect
- Sometimes weird bars appear on the screen (not too noticeable)
- Can't mount storage when not in TWRP
Kernel 2.6 (v1.2) - Bugs:
- Hardware Acceleration doesn't work (HD video, netflix, some games, quadrant standerd 3d benchmark, etc.) THIS IS A BIGGER DEAL THAN YOU WOULD THINK!! MANY FREEZES, SOD, AND NON-FUNCTIONALITY!![/SIZE]
v1.3 - Graphical fixes, bug fixes, and most likely an updated kernel. Since I no longer have the device, future builds may take 1 or 2 days longer to release as I have nothing to test the build on. Check the beta testing section on my website for beta builds/
I am working on them, once they are done I will put them in the THEMES/APPS Section as well as the mods post in this thread. And, I have integrated kernel 3.0 in this rom and it works! I will soon distribute.What happened to these flashable soft key mods? I was really looking forward to these. Also, not a big fan of the blue reflective. Anyway you could post a build with the stock white home, back, and recent soft keys? Everything else is great on 1.2
