Intro: I'm pwnyourace, this is only my second kernel to be released to the public, i made the umph kernel for the motorola triumph. I'm really still getting my feet wet with making kernels so yea, alot of my stuff will be based on others work, but credit is always given if it can be found.

What this includes
  • Based on Tiamats 8x60 branch, ill try to get the main points of the tiamat kernel also for those that arent familiar with it
  • OC up to 1944MHZ (tiamat)
  • SQLB (tiamat)
  • Simple IO, BFQ, V(R) I/O schedulers (tiamat)
  • Smartassv2, Lagfree govs (tiamat)
  • Tun, Cifs (tiamat)
  • Expose the vdd_sc values to the sysfs userspace (tiamat)

  • Snapdragon opts (ziggy)
  • Toasts updated GPU drivers (toastcfh duh)
  • Toasts new touchscreen drivers (toastcfh duh again)
  • 3D and 2D overclocked
  • ZRAM
  • ZCache
  • Swap support enabled

Disclaimer: What everyone else puts in kernel threads, about me not being responsible, ect.

Latest kernel
Twisted_Kernel-v1_Evo3D

Methods of flashing
Joeykrim's "flashimage gui" app on the market using one of the zImage files from the zips
(To be added soon) Teamwin's "Kernel manager" app on the market.
Flashing via recovery using one of the zips here.

Recommended apps =)
CPU Master (personally what I use)
Nofrills - App to manage I/O scheduler, clock speeds & governors.
Adw ex or go launcher ex
Colorize widgets - Great widgets to replace the lpp ones for those converting to other launchers.
AppMonster(pro or free) - Great backup utility, automatically backs up all apps.(I like it better than TB)
GPS Status - Great application for finding satalites near you and helping get a quick lock.
Any go dev team app - Great dev team, all their apps are worth looking at.



Locating cpu% eating applications.

When in ADB shell type the following

top |grep app

or if your rom supports it htop is much better(Without grep, so just "htop")

Then look for items with high amounts of cpu% while the phone is idle.

changelog:
v1 Initial Release


Notes:
Will most likely stop mooching off tiamat and base this off the cm kernel when it get merged

My github may be a few days behind or few commits behind sometimes

Yeah I'm a always o/c to 1728 no problem any other time. I did turn it down too, and what had between going on is freezing and the screen getting strange while playing shadow gun and samurai 2. Other times there are just random reboots. I'm just going to assume the new screen improvements that caused this. So I went back to tiamat kernel sadly.

Alright man I'm sorry to hear that. The new drivers have been working great for me, my keyboard has completely stopped constantly not letting me press letters and the new gpu drivers like doubled my fps in quad when it does the 2d and 3d tests.

What kind of battery life do you get with 1.9 GHz?

Well, I'm a pretty heavy user but I'm home alot so battery life isn't all that much of an issue. But today I unplugged at 100% at about 10am and my phone died about an hr ago. Mind you I've listened to my Google music for a good few hrs out the speaker on Max vol and text and am on the internet nonstop lol. Ill try my best to be an average user tomarrow and report battery stats :p

This kernel rocks. Hope you keep development going. I got a2sd working on miui with this! It doesn't work on other kernels. MIUI is now a 2.3.7 rom so I don't know if that changes anything. It still works great!
