OK, i know what you're thinking, "Another kernel for the Vibrant?" But this is my very first kernel development project so bear with me. This is just a project i've been working on since summer started, just to see if i can do it, learning experience. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it so please no flaming....and as always:

TinyRCU
BFQ I/O scheduler (set to default)
CFQ removed
Battery polling values modified (an attempt at saving batt life)
JHash3 patch
EXT4 patches

333MB Ram Hack
User configurable OC/UV
Safe booting to 1ghz
Overclockable to 1.2 ghz
Avatar confirmed working with this and Bionix NextGen V2
Notes:
1. After flashing this and rebooting, let the phone sit for a few minutes, before doing stuff. It will be alot smoother,
trust me.
2. This safely boots to 1ghz, but use an app like Voltage Control or setCPU to UV/OC to meet your needs.
3. If using Smartass as the main gov, DO NOT USE A SCREEN OFF PROFILE. After extensive testing, Screen Off profile is NOT needed if using Smartass as main gov (Smartass can handle it, if your phone can handle Smartass)
4. Not all phones can handle the Smartass gov, if this is the case, just switch the the Conservative gov again.
My downloads will be hosted from Google Code now, so i can track number of downloads and issues, so:
