---

First, i want to say thanks to:

• Fserve, Hephappy, PaoloM70, Roqu3, doixanh : For every things. All credits give to you guy, specially is Fserve, Thank you Gerson !
• af974, YZ: Thanks for being good Moderators for XDA Forum
• Cyanogenmod Team, Code Aurora Forum: Special Thanks for sharing their kernel source with a lot of patches! .
• Tasssadar: For many advices .
• DJNoxD: Big Thank for helping me and to fix errors
• alezardstar, Aspee, RockR172, Andy572: Big thanks for helping me a lot
• Der_Caveman, Mik_os, Franco Francisco, selphien and.... sorry i can't remember all people, Thanks for sharing and advising!
• All XDA "GOOD" Members .

Bassiclly Features:

• Based on "gingerbread_rel" branch from Code Aurora Forum, merged into CM7 official kernel source. Thanks to Hephappy for doing this .
• Backported stuffs from 3.0 kernel to make this kernel run on ICS ROM - All Credits to LGICS Team.
• Updated kernel version from 2.6.35.10 to 2.6.35.14 with Power Management patches for better battery life.
• Completly Fair Scheduler with Autogroup feature.
• Overclocking support. CPU Frequencies that added: from 652Mhz - 806Mhz.
  - Tip: Most of P500 can overclock to 729Mhz, becareful with higher frequencies.
• Implemented SmartassV2 Governor with optimizations. Use as default governor.
• Implemented optimized touch screen driver with multi-touching hack and High CPU Usage bug workaround (CPU Usage goes high when you touch the screen).
  - Thanks to Der_Caveman for rewriting a better touch screen driver, waleedq and sippolo for implementing Axis Inversion hack, fserve for High CPU Usage bug fixes.
• Camera Flickering fix
• Tons of patches/tweaks from CAF, Cyanogenmod, me, many other people... All credits to them!
  

Bugs:

• Enabling GPS will bring "GPS wakelock". This will prevent your phone from going to deep sleep
  Fix: Reboot your phone after enable GPS.
• Random Rebooting... Nothing to say!

Reporting bugs:

• Provide logcat when report bugs!

How to install:

• Install the Kernel:
  • Reboot to Recovery.
  • Backup all thing FIRST!
  • Choose the caf-p500-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.zip (xxxxxxxx-xxxx is the kernel version)
  • Done it right? Reboot the system and Enjoy.

Tricks/Tips for getting better battery life:

• Use the default governor - smartassv2! Highly Recommend!
• Don't use CPU Profiles, SmartassV2 already has that.
• Don't over clock your phone to higher than 729Mhz.

• Update ashmem to msm-3.4

Full changelog: https://github.com/thachtunganh/caf-...6...37cae19423

18/11/2012:
- Enable UID_STAT.

. Well, thank you for the tip
- Apply some PM patches, hope those patches can improve battery life
- Use XZ compression to compress kernel image.
- Please notice this version is for testing!

09/10/2012:
- Compiled with lastest Android NDK (r8b - new 4.6.3 GCC for ICS and Jelly Bean). And now Wifi module size is reduced from about 3MB to ~400KB .
- TUN/TAP module now is built in kernel image . Well, get more free space on ICS and Jelly Bean is awesome
- Update to Kernel release 2.6.35.14. (But i haven't apply some Power Management (PM) patches yet).
- Add Snappy compression support to zram. (this patch is from Zeev Tarantov . With Snappy, Zram uses less CPU time and is thus more useful, thanks to him!)
- Patches from Rashed97 - Who brought Unofficial CM10 Build for our device

• Fix mdp4_overlay for MDPI devices.
• Hack for CRT animations fix.

- disable GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS Sleeper Fairness in CFS. (this patch is from securecrt - Who Developed HWA kernel for ICS. Disabling Gentle Fair Sleepers could improve UI responsiveness. Thanks to him, too !)
