Wow can't wait for this. We all need a good JB Kernel. zRAM and so many frequency oversteps, this has really got me excited!! The race is wide open :D. Thanks for starting this project. Good Luck :).

Hey why not make a combo?
All powersave frequencies with OC?
I would like to have a combo like that!
Also add 100MHz.. very efficient at battery saving
Look forward to it
keep up the good work :)
Yeah, make it combo so I don't have to downloaded both.
I wish I could do that. But its not possible to accommodate more values in the frequencies table in the Overclocked Version.
And I did not add 100MHz because it causes phone to lag and be unresponsive on most Governors.

@mr.drooly was my tester. I'm hoping that there were no issues.

Looks very promising, huge list of Governors, WiFi 5Ghz band and first JB Kernel with OC @ 1.2 GHz.

Testing, Performance Edition with Interactivex+SIO (200 MHz - 1.2 GHz) Will let you know. :)

Last time I saw oc to 1.2 ghz there was a problem with the tables(vengeance kernel). Does this work normally?

redraw is related to ROM, not kernel

Sent from Mayudroid

Testing with skernel now, I don't think it has so much redraw problem.

I couldn't install skernel with cwm, ended by fastbooting. Please check. No any led lights when I tried to restart phone.

Testing for the last 20 hrs, speed is snappy overall. Multitasking (of over two apps) as pointed out isn't that great. Interactivex+SIO @ 1.2 Ghz - 200 Mhz seems the ideal for battery life which I see is better among others given the performance.

I think keyboard redraws is associated to kernel partially. I had lesser withdraws with the kernel Ashwin's Ultimate Rom. It has something to do with destroying processes which is still buggy in the port as of now.
