Additional Kernel

Default kernel in my rom
AOKP kernel with Governors and Schedulars : Download
Tips :

* For kernel :
* Under Performance :
Keep the Overclocking as 245-1100 smartassv2/ondemand for no slowdowns
Also prefer sio schedular using set-cpu with the additional kernel
Also select forced disable scrolling cache

* If something FCs then go to apps...clear data...restart...

* Finally for awesome look...use this theme...

But after flashing both the zip...SystemUI has stopped error will occur...replace the systemui.apk from the rom in /system/app/ and reboot...all should be fine and your phone should fly

hm.. I could try to build for saga from source these days...

OK. So here's a quick guide for porting these DHD ROMs to Desire S. Funny thing is that I'm not a developer nor a real porter and I use files provided by someone else (proxuser) so I should be the last to post a tutorial for this. But till someone more experienced will do it, it's good for start.

All credits for files should go to proxuser, he was doing the hard part. And of course Lord ClockaN for the amzing ROMs

1. Download the "base" Desire S files provided by proxuser from HERE
2. Make a folder called IceColdSandwich (or whatever you like) and make a subfolder for each ROM you would like to try. Also make a subfolder for the base Desire S files.
3. Extract the base files downloaded in step 1 to the subfolder created in step 2
4. Download the ROM you want from DHD forum and extract it in another subfolder. (I usually have something called Base 4.3, Base 4.1.2 and so on for the IceColdSandwitch versions that I've tried).
5. Now you have 2 options in order to have a proper build.prop file located in the system folder where you've extracted the DHD ROM. Either copy the one included in the "base" files (but this way you will always have same version shown in About Phone) or, you edit the file yourselves. If you choose to edit the file yourself, be warned that you should save the modified file in a different location since it'll be overwritten when copying base files. After copying you can replace the build.prop file with the one modified by you.
5.a Using the build.prop from base files... Just copy the base files over the ones extracted from DHD ROM and replace any files there.
5.b Using build.prop edited by yourself... Make a copy of the file and edit it WITH WORDPAD. Do NOT edit the file with Notepad. Replace in the file "ace" with "saga" on some of the entries there. You can compare with the build.prop in the base files to see what should be changed. This way you'll have the correct version of the ROM displayed in About Phone.
5.1 (optional) Place in system/app the APKs you would like to have and are different from original DHD ROM...for ex another camera.apk or the inverted GAPPS. Normal GAPPS package can be downloaded from CM9 thread, inverted GAPPS can be downloaded from HERE (credits to pimpmaneaton)
6. ZIP the folder, I usually select all folders and right-click then "Send to compressed folder" ...working great in Windows 7 (you can use also 7ZIP or other programs for this). Give the ZIP a name of you choice.
7. Sign the ZIP using AndroidSigner from HERE. It's simple, install it the the signing process is a matter of drag and drop files onto it. The result will be another ZIP file having the word "signed" at end.
8. Copy the "signed" file onto your SDCARD and flash it in recovery.
9. Enjoy your ROM

NOTES:

- As always, it's advisable to make a nadroid backup just in case.
- Don't know if this should be a different thread or not. I put it here because is referring to the port of DHD IceColdSandwich ROM. I recall that proxuser said his files should work on any AOSP ROM and I think they do. So this tutorial could be applied to other ROMs as well but exercise caution though. Do not try this on SENSE ROMs, don't think they'll work since the framework is different.

Many thanks to all for their hard work and from which I've learned alot. Maybe in the future, proxuser will made a real tutorial for porting. Looking forward to it...

I've ported latest 7.2 Farewell Edition.

Changelog (from original thread):

- sync overide option added to Profiles - CM
- BT updates
- new camera HAL from twisted (camcorder still doesn't work, use Videocam Illusion from market)
- updated NovaLauncher to 1.0.3b2
- add boot sound option - the boot sound file should be in: /system/media/android_audio.mp3, don't know if it works
- added BLN toggle, and in quite hours - by Robin
- custom icons for lockscreen fixed - AOKP
- custom lockscreen wallpaper finally enabled and fixed
- a lot of patches trough out the rom
- updated a lot of apps
- new kernel 9.4 BFS - updated gpu drivers, vidc, msm_rotator, wlan, audio, etc...
- I must have forgotten something

Added to the above:
- latest CM9 Kernel (from 9.04.2012)
- latest CM9 camera libs (front camera works, didn't have time to check video calls but I think it works)
- changed audio libs to avoid the crackling speaker sound (I got this after first try to port)

I find it stable for the time being, tested it whole day with heavy WiFi/browsing/etc. I've flashed it with full wipe and install everything from scratch with no Titanium restore. I wanted to have the cleanest install possible and also to check how ROM performs and so on. No reboots, even I had several long phone calls, no signal drop...I had these in the past. Will see what's next...

For the ones loving "dark" versions, just to let you know, I've flashed latest Blackened UI & GAPPS and it's working GREAT on 7.2. You can find the original thread of this mod in the OP

I'll link it as soon as I'm at home. From office I cannot upload unfortunately.

Later Edit: As promised, here's the link for 7.2
