Alternate Kernels:

Everyone please pass a thanks onto DM47021 for this one. He built the Kernel
http://androidforums.com/boost-mobi...l-dm47021-updated-3-0-gosh-i-update-alot.html

Both versions of this kernel default to 1.4 ghz performance governor. These were the defualts DM47021 set the kernel at. If you want to change those values just run a cpu governor app like voltage control, or set cpu.

Alien Kernel 3.0 Updated for B10 roms. Do not use with DroidSmith

Alien Kernel 3.0 modified for B10 based DroidSmith.
If you still need more speed then this is for you. Alein Kernel for DroidSmith will put you in the 7500s. This is Kernel is included in the base rom from version 1.7 on

DroidSmith Xperia Pack:



For those who would rather run Xperia Home as opposed to Launcher2, here is the DroidSmith Xperia Pack. The Pack removes launcher2 and replaced it with Xperia Home.

Thanks. I think you will like it. It's not everything I wanted at this point, but if I waited until I thought it was done it never would have seen the light of day. That said it is a rock solid base.

I hear you... that's why I released the series 1.xx versions of WOEM... I figured if I didn't start somewhere it would never be right.
 
I actually started work on B08C. The update to B10 almost got me give up. In the end it worked out for the better. This time around I made the edits to the rom myself rather that lumping other devs work together into a rom
 
Photo bucket is free, but you have to upload to them then copy paste here.

Tapatalk is a few bucks, but easier to upload directly to the forum.

Photo Bucket images are much bigger in comparison to the tapatalk images.

Smooth and quick, looks good to, gonna run it for a few and work it over. Nice job!

Update: Rom runs well, handles quite a load. Get faster benchmark with Alien Kernel, and CPU control i/o scheduler is cfq not sio dunno why but setting is not there. All in all good daily driver, nice job!

No other way to go, man :D

It's always better to do as much as you can (and sometimes a little more lol) all by yourself. I've learned so much that way!
