FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK

Thanks go out to LDrifta and PlayfulGod.. Basically this is LDrifta's Speed Unleashed kernel without the minfree tweaks ported to ZVE..

Thanks to fullbloodedmut for guinea pig'n it for me ;)

At the moment this is just a work in progress (should be completed soon).. First attempt at a kernel.. Seems stable and governors smartassv2 and smoothass included.. Overclockable to 1.9Ghz.. Should be safe but ya'll know the drill.. If anything messes up, not my fault ;) Just backup and flash through recovery and use something along the lines of SetCPU to change clock speed.. DO NOT CHOOSE SET ON BOOT UNTIL YOU KNOW THE PHONE CAN HANDLE THE SPEED!!

Good deal.. Thanks for guinea piggin.. Governor issue was an error on my end I believe.. Part of the find what works best together to rig this thing up :D Fried my brain a bit with dozens of tutorials lol.. Gonna give it another shot in a bit and hopefully have a better build up tonight.. 'Kinda' know what I'm doin now ;)

And no I haven't tried the gov fix by PG.. I forgot some important files on the build ;)

So I've been following this thread. Am i right in assuming that this can be flashed in cwm?? And have you added the missing files that you noted in the early part of the thread?

Thank you very much for putting in the effort to extend the life of my beloved esteem... Lol

Yes.. Just flash as normal.. Missing files have been added :) Only thing I've noticed is the OC doesn't stick after reboot.. Otherwise its stable.. been runnin it on number 2 3 for about a week or so now with no issues and haven't heard anything bad from anyone.. prob about as stable as its gonna get..
