RC2 is running great so far, but I did have a hiccup when it updated through the app.

Phone rebooted like it was supposed to then froze after I unlocked. Did a battery pull, rebooted with the same result. Booted into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik and everything's been golden since.

Absolutely loving all the mods and everything appears to be working great :)

Thanks for the info. I forgot to programatically clear dalvik cache, will be updated.

Left my phone alone for about 30 min, came back and it had turned itself off lol. When I rebooted the freezing thing happened again and needed a battery pull... But now everything is up and running smoothly again

Hmm, check your OC settings. Also, the suggestions when changing mods about rebooting; should be done. I don't force a reboot but it doesn't mean its not needed.

I haven't had any issues with freezing or battery pulls. Flash the zip I sent via pm for a further upgrade fyi.

I had it set on 245mhz / 1.1 ghz so I doubt that was the issue, maybe I just had to let it settle. Flashed the zip and its running smooth as ice

If you want to submit mods, please refer to the post below the OP. Also, I've added three 1% battery mods - thanks dfuse06!

Edit: some of the 1% mods aren't displaying the battery levels correctly (at least on my phone ex: for 70% I see a 7 lol). I believe its an issue with the XMLs. Will be corrected as soon as I'm not being so lazy.

Just installed the Rom, feels great. Had to do a battery pull when using setcpu to overclock, phone just froze. Also when changing wall paper it told me the phone memory was full and didn't change it. Cleared dalvik cache and all is good now.
Haven't been able to locate the app though. Thought it would be in the app drawer, guess I have to re-read the original post. Might have missed something...

Did you do a full wipe in cwm including system? The Control Panel app can be found in settings. Also on the dropdown notifications - quick settings tab, long press all settings.

Yes, full wipe twice, as I usually do.
Found the app, as a matter of fact had been using it all along, didn't know it.
Smooth Rom, great options.

    About the kernel... It is based off of htc's 2.6.35.10 kernel source. The clock tables, voltages and added governors are a combination of the 5 kernel developers I mention below. I also added v(r) i/o scheduler, thanks mdeejay from Team Virtuous.

    This has been a long time coming. :beer: First I have to thank my wife and kids for being so patient while I stared at a computer screen. Endless thanks to one_love_420 and Dread 7us for all their hard work, knowledge, and patience. Huge thanks goes to Dodgejcr, for taking the time to teach me almost everything I know about kernels, answering my noobish questions :), and writing up some awesome tutorials located at his website http://dodgejcr.com. Tommy Tomatoe has been such a great help to all of us, we can't thank you enough. I have some more thanks to give to a few other people, in no particular order toastcfh, scaryghoul, mdeejay, dodgejcr, x99 (kernel sources to compare, and help trouble shooting), aamikam (a2sd trouble shooting), strapped365 (panorama camera), and htc (base kernel source). Last but not least, the whole Shift community, a.k.a. the best community on xda. I hope you enjoy this ROM as much as we did making it. If I forgot to thank anyone, please let me know and I'll add you. :)

    Edit: Here is a link to custom skins for those that are interested... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048894

    Edit: link to my .config zipped up for tun.ko and cifs.ko kernel. here
