GBS is an modified version of franco.Kernel v19.4, original franco.Kernel code is heavily patched for the best performance. With this mod is added more battery life, some changes in kernel config, cpu spike on touch the screen fix, better axis inversion workaround, USB-transfer fix, Powertop/dmesg support, and for froyo based roms users, recharging with phone off fix.

- Recharging with phone off fixed. (mikos cyanogen based roms have a feature to: if the phone is off, when you plug the charger, it will power on the phone. The normal behaviour is to boot a system only to recharge phone. But mik has disabled it. SO, if you use devoid.#final this recharge while offline will work. if you use cyanogen, will not work.)

BFS: Brain F**k Scheduler - The updated and improved process scheduler. BFS is better for user interactions.
CFS: Completely Fair Scheduler - The original process scheduler. CFS is better for multitasking.

About governors:
smartass is the best governor for me when i want raw performance - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16467430&postcount=5362

Remember:
This kernel is ONLY for LG Stock ROM 2.2, Void.#forever, devoid, miks 6.5.x, CyanogenMMatt 1.1...
WIPE DALVIK, BATTERY AND CACHE!
DONT FLASH 2 DIFFERENT ZIPS AT THE SAME TIME!
MAKE A REBOOT BEFORE EACH FLASH
If you are using AmonRa, disable signature before flashing.
NOT underclock below 480MHz. At lower speeds, wakeups-from-idle per second are bigger than 480MHz and they share the same voltage, so thats leads to more battery drain.
It's recomended to use: MIN 480 / MAX YOUR CHOICE
