TW 4.0.3 ICS

Currently I have not updated for CM9/AOKP. I do intend on compiling a kernel for those ROMS specifically. Please be paitent...

BIG THANKS TO:

• Steve Kondik and entire CM Team, Kernel.org, Code Aurora, Faux123, romanbb

Based off and compiled from Samsung kernel source code.

My github found HERE

• Kernel version 3.0.8
• Compiled with Linaro 4.6.2 toolchain
• XZ kernel compression
• ondemand default CPU governor (See 2nd Post for more info)
• Default Freq = 1.35GHz/384Mhz
• NOOP I/O scheduler default
• SLUB Memory Management
• Overclock'd CPU up to 1.78GHz
• Overclock'd 3D GPU @ 320Mhz
• Overclock'd 2D GPU @ 266.667Mhz
• Boosted L2
• Increased bus frequency
• 6 Stages 3D GPU scaling, variable io_fraction
• 3 Stages 2D GPU scaling, io_fraction 100
• CRC optimization's
• RWSEM optimization's+
• Automatic process group scheduling
• bootanimation.zip support for /system/media
• OTG
• MHL
• BLN
• ZRAM
• NTFS
• CIFS
• UTF-8
  

Available CPU Governors:

• conservative, performance, interactive, ondemand, powersave, userspace, lagfree, badass

Optional I/O Schedulers:

• deadline, cfq, noop

Instructions on flashing Kernel:

1. Download and place on your SD card
2. Boot into Recovery Mode
3. Do a NAND if desired
4. Flash DARKSIDE.VENOM
5. After flashing is complete, Reboot..
6.Wait 5 minutes for OS to load and reboot again
7.Done!

Welcome to the DARKSIDE!

What is badass? Thanks to @show-p1984

Well good question. With ICS I (@show-p1984) decided to rework my gb badass which never got released because it was always pushed aside. To break down what it is:

Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 918Mhz and therefore stay cool and will use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 918Mhz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1188Mhz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)
Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1188Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.

Please remember: Due to it's nature, this is not a benchmark governor. It is meant as a governor that gives you a smooth experience while saving battery, lots of it

just in case...

You're the man! One of these days I'm going to rack your brain as I'm trying to build for other devices lol

yes... @ this moment. I do intend on compling specifically for CM9/AOKP when i get some extra time..

I added that to the OP as well

Thanks this is much appreciated.
