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!!

Is smartass 2 stickin for ya?
 
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..
 
Flashed it this morning. Appears to be working very well.

Thank you!

Is there a place that describes the governors, and what their"priorities/triggers" are?

Currently using smoothass. I like it, but would appreciate any info on the differences between them.

Hagd!
 
i was just testing. i got rid of it. and went back to regular. all it literally said was error undr wifi. when i would try to turn it on. its all good. those built prop tweaks i mande and swapping sd does a great job in itself

first I've heard of it honestly.. Dunno.. What tweaks are ya talking about?
 
You can try and post back the results . Only thing that rom has files that keep it from changing . But feel free to try you can post back make a backup .
 
These files are in the init.d folder you can find this in the systemfolder>etc>init.d . You can access these folders with a root or file explorer.
