Talking [ROM] TUX FUN ROM XXLA2 OC or Non OC

Short introduction:
This rom is based on the stock EUR XXLA2 ROM, its zipaligned and deodexed with Overclock kernel onboard.
It has some little tweaks, but makes the phone really a lot more responsive, the system is rooted , has busy box and superuser in it.
With this rom you will be able to restore from Titanium backup or any other program, with even te user settings, without breaking your phone software, as in the slim rom's.
I did build this ROM from scratch with the kitchen tool.

Installation:
1. Root your phone.
2. Enable recovery with Clockwork mod from Arco (prefered) or RZR.
3. Download the ROM.
4. Put the zip into Internal SD
5. Boot into ClockWorkMod / RZRecovery, backup your current ROM using nandroid (just in case) then, Wipe: system, cache and Dalvik cache, use Install menu to install it.

The Funny part:

Now this ROM has a few funny parts, after logging in the first time you wil see that you can make a choice of the type of launcher you want to use, the standard launcher or the fast Zeam launcher (prefered).


Go to System settings > Applications > Manage applications.
Now, in the donwloaded application list you wil see a list of programs.
These programs can be safely removed after you have restored your phone from a backup.
This will free more RAM on your phone!


OK, now its time the restore apps en data (user) settings from a backup you made with Titanium, MyBackup Root or any other program.
After this make sure to reboot your phone, and see if all you apps are working, mail , whatsapp etc. etc.

Now you can safely remove these apps from the downloaded list we talked about!

The OC part:
This kernel has overclocking capabilities to even make your phone more powerfull then it already is!
For you guys who don't know what overclocking is:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking
Depending on the quality of you phone's processor and how lucky you are, will determ how far you can go with overclocking, i noticed that processors for our phone are very good overclockable, so should be in most cases no problem.

OK, grab the program SetCPU for free and install it on you phone and open this program.
Now set it first to 1600, play for a while with you your phone (games etc.), if it's stable you can try 1800, again play some games and see if its holding.
If it does now you can enable "Set on boot" setting


Optional:
SetCPU has the possibility to work with profiles, a very usefull option!
To save battery life you can make profiles like this, and save battery life.
Ofcourse this is only an example, and you can set it to your needs!


I want to thank Kezra for all his work that made it possible to do this, Arco for providing the Clockworkmod recovery and THE-E for the root instructions.
And a very special thanks to Cowithgun for providing me the kernel and motivating me to build this rom!

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you brick your phone I tried it and it worked!
