I'm pretty sure this will safely flash over the current roms. I'd make a backup in recovery first though as a precaution. I've got it running flashed over Gingersteem 1.0 because that one just felt a little smoother to me and didn't have bluetooth pairing issues at the time, even though they're probably solved by now.
As far as overclocking, well honestly stuff seems to run fast enough for me that it's always very snappy, I mean you might get a few frames extra in some games but in the end i'd rather be able to play my tower defense games longer than run a tiny bit smoother, but that's just me. After I tweak it for battery and get feeback i'll see how I can add one or two small slots to maybe 1.3-1.4Ghz but default to 1Ghz.
I'm starting a long running test today
Gingersteem 1.0
Homless 1.0 flashed over it
Lg Esteem Optimizer with chuck norris battery setting
so far with light use 5% battery seems to = 1+/-hour of light use.

I did a factory reset and installed. It loaded up with LDk-ICK 1.3 does that sound right?

It's just a kernel so whatever rom you had before will still look the same, the kernel itself is not visible except in the settings\about screen where it will say:
lg-electronics@android-vm #6 if the kernel took.

Perfect got it. Thank you so much. You are the man. Keep up the excellent work. Any upcoming updates to LG Esteem Optimizer?

Once I can get CPU Governor settings to stick i'm gonna add a section for choosing cpu frequencies and governor, It's just one other less app to install. Sometimes you just wanna adjust something like the governor or cpu speed, but have to have all kinds of stuff you'll never use included along with those apps. Not that it's bad, but I like one stop shops with a small footprint
Thanks. Ill add more details in the notes later to give a better description. It's a work in progress but so far I default to the deadline io scheduler and tweaked some power management components around. Haven't tried HDMI yet but I will
HDMI confirmed working..

I got a bootloop when I tried to install it over the Extreme ROM. Any suggestions?

I haven't had too much success trying those things on this phone, and had one app tear apart my apn settings and i had to do a factory reset because I couldn't access data.
To be honest though, if you run any app and it has to check things periodically, it's eating some cpu and power so in my opinion it's best to find root causes that eat power when idle, and tame those instead. The root causes, because those can be corrected without adding additional load on the cpu, free energy you could say. That's how my optimizer app deals with stuff and it only has to apply tweaks at startup, but the app doesn't have to stay running to work. This kernel is meant to compliment that by tweaking more things that I normally couldn't tweak during boot.
My phone's been on now for 5h 35m, and I've got 79% batt left now. I think that will be more than enough now anyways
I did the math, but I swear i must be adding wrong... lol
5.5hrs * 5 = 27.5 hours. on 1500mAh regular battery with light use.
Normally I go to sleep and if I forget to charge i'm screwed
Hopefully it lives up to my math. by later tonight i'll know

8 1/2 hrs and still 73% left. This is streaming Pandora for about 7 of those hours, about 2 hrs total of 4g web browsing, 37 texts, 14 min phone call, and updating 2 apps on 4g. Pretty damn nice so far.
Edit: Stock battery.

Gonna fully charge extended battery, and see how long it lasts with homeless kernel, playfulgod's, and blitzkrieg oc'd at 1ghz.
Will post up results later.
Gonna be heavy on the battery, crappy signal (battery eater), animations, pandora running, brightness all the way up, and screen always on, see which one last more.

I don't think wiping dalvik cache makes a difference, but it doesn't hurt.
Didn't have to wipe data or cache to use it.

which rom.... recommend to install the kernel
After I installed, it was in a bootloop on LG screen. I flashed back to PG kernel and boots fine. I tried two different downloads(dl both on computer), both bootloop. I am on MT's GingerSteem ROM.
edit: nevermind, third times the charm.
yeah im getting bootloops as well...hopefully i can get it going since it managed to click for you
if this works kaniada, im buying your lg esteem optimizer again to say thanks 
ive needed more battery life for so long now. overclocking has never been to much of a need now that i hardley game on it.
edit: flashed plague kernal, then flashed the homeless kernal right after and it worked.

OK. That's really hard to believe, i'm sorry. But that is almost impossible. Lol
Edit ; please, at least and most a 1.5ghz. Would be real nice.
