About
Following the popular franco.Kernel series I present you the new .35 tree based kernel for the 2.3.3 from LG and for the CM testing releases from mik.
(Because people keep flashing this **** with the wrong roms and come here crying "HALP" enjoy the big letter warning)
This kernel is not for 2.2 roms and I will laugh at you if you flash it together with 2.2. Not either will it work on miks 6.5.8 nor void forever...

Features & Changelog
Take note of this, I don't care nor will pay attention if you say you're having battery drain if: you flashed the kernel sooner than 24hours of your complain post, if you didn't wipe your cache partition before or after flashing it, or if you didn't wipe your battery stats. If any of these three conditions are met at the time of your posting I will simply ignore it.

Features & Changelog
#4
* Added 652, 672, 691, 710 cpu frequencies
* Doubled busses frequencies - system will go faster but you'll possible lose some overclocking capabilities. Busses frequency OC > cpu OC.
* Added and tweaked Simple IO scheduler as it proved to be the fastest one for this device
* Added tun.ko and cifs.ko
* Added camera flicker bug fix
* Cleaned up some more debug ****
* One or two small tweaks
#3
* Completely rebased kernel
* No more blackscreen
* Based on CM's source
* All the tweaks and ****s you've been known about from me
* Franco magic?

* Well...I'll write a more detailed post later, too busy at the moment =)
08122011
- Touchscreen driver improved
- Same changes as the 27/11 release but now with wifi working
27112011
- Major speed up because fsyncs are not disabled
- SLUB memory allocator tweaked and made default
- Wifi Tethering fix attempt
- One or two other small tweaks and optimizations
- This release is labeled as a testing version
22112011
- Bye vsync toggle, it's not possible to change vsync without a kernel recompile
- Blackscreen bug fix attempt
- Touchscreen drivers optimized with the axis inversion workaround - changes by paolo, fserve, and me
12112011
- Vsync on/off toggle added. This is what I need be checked, I don't know if it's working: run this command via terminal or init.d script
Code:echo "0" > /sys/module/mddi_hitachi_hvga/parameters/vsync_on
Echoing 0 it will disable vsync, echoing 1 will enable it.
- FSB/BUS overclock is lower, it will lower benchmarks a bit, but you won't notice any difference during normal usage and it will increase stability
- Obviously all the changes from the latest testing version are included
- This release is labeled as a testing version

01082011
This is a complete re-written kernel from scratch featuring all the performance and battery patches from the last version plus a lot of new code.
The changes are all in my github so I don't need to list them here. I need you guys to test the kernel and tell me what is working and what is not working, which bugs do you find, if the performance is good, if battery is good etc etc. I don't want posts like "BLUETOOH HANDS FREE DOESN'T WORK FIX PLX" or "WAHT IS THE BAST GOVERNOR AND OC HALP PLOX" I want informative posts about your conclusions, if it kernel paniced what is your environment, your OC, your governor... stupid and non helpful posts will be ignored. If you want a good kernel, do you job as an user and help me too.
