to overclock, yes you would need to use setCPU. However, I am unsure whether the smartass governor would take effect whether or not you had setCPU to OC with.

Thanks! I'm new to this but figured it would make no sense to install the kernel with no way to actually OC. I like alot of the roms out but I'm happier with the stock setup the way I've modded it. Removed the bloat I know I'll never use, changed the boot ani, battery icon on status bar....etc. Short press google/long press Genius (the way it should be!)
This phone is amazing once rooted!

It sure is also, while setCPU is a paid app, its increased my speed and battery life several hours beyond that of the normal speeds with no profiles set for screen off or battery level. Well worth the buck, in my opinion.
btw, dont forget the thanks button

Hmmm all I get is boot screen locks or loops. With and with out cache/dalvik wipes. Is it a requirement to have set cpu installed prior to flashing this kernel?

I dunno if this'll help at all, but I'm on pretty much the exact same setup (rooted, stock, removed bloatware, changed battery in status bar, changed genius button to google search, etc.) and faux123's kernel loaded right up for me, I followed his instructions and came from grankin's kernel.
I have SetCPU but I only use it to OC it a bit, I have max to 1209, no profiles. I'm not sure how much it changes and helps, some days it's really good but today it's been unplugged for 3 hours and it's at 80% with a few texts, about 20 min of internet and 20 min on XDA app.

x10 2.1 default battery optimiser

there is a small default app which works to save battery..i used it and found it really effective,it summarizes all battery eating stuff in one place.
if you have default 2.1 just go to application "support" and then click on tools and there you will find this battery optimiser
worked good for me,quick way to save juice

In the app drawer there is an app called Support. Once you run it there is a tab called tools. That's where it's at. The icon is a gear with a question mark on it.

yeah it is nothing NEW,all it do is ,it summaraizes all the battery eating stuff at one place,so it becomes really easy for everybody to do everything from there rather than going to millions of settings to do the same,i still have 85% after 12 hours with moderate usage.
.58 baseband
2.1 official
jit v2 and crap apps freezed

I am about to travel abroad, so I won't be able to use mobile internet at all and I really need the extra battery life, as I'm probably going to be wandering around all day!
So today, for testing purposes, I fiddled with the settings from this app, and in the last 12 hours I only lost 20%! That's quite awesome!
It's nice to have those settings gathered together!
Thanks for the find!

hmm, is there any way to get this app back on the phone?

one way for sure, PC Companion and Repair!
And second one would be... gimme moment.... made a Backup of ALL Apps. should finde it here somewhere... *searching*
Nope sorry, just made a Backup from all installed Apps and not Pre installed
P.S Here some Pictures of Battery Optimizer. Just found him out of curiosity 2 weeks ago ^^
Already had only 2 left when i found it ^^

I haven't this either and i just did a re-flash so all the apps are back and no "support" app at all :/

Ok, I found it in the thread of 'all 2.1 system apps'.
Here it is for whoever else wanted it.

Out of interest I tried to install on FreeX10 beta 4, but to no avail. What settings are you able to control? Is it like wifi/2+3G data/blue tooth on/off policies?
It's strange that this is so hard to find in 2.1 because 2.2 is the same way. There are many advanced settings hidden in the power control widget that have increased my battery life with 2.2 far beyond what I got with 2.1 optimized. Not to mention, I haven't come close to going over on my data plan for the first time, and no need to use APNdroid anymore. You would never know they were there if you didn't look for them. I wonder if this "hiding" is an attempt to run up our data plans and encourage battery sales?
@Batman_112, Good to see you made it out of the batcave. Lots been happening while you were away. Welcome back! ( ^o^) lol

I know why it doesnt work on freex10 because its 2.2froyo and the app 2.1 eclair

I knew that, but like I said, out of curiosity I tried anyway. Thanks though.
Can you answer my question, since I wasn't able to check it out? What type of additional settings are there? Are they like the ones I described from 2.2?

try them both, their both wonderful. i stuck with MIUI for over a month.

I tried both of them and I think they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Right now I went back to 2.2 because NOVA dont work on 2.3. If any of you can play NOVA on cm7 or miui please let me know. MIUI has the lockscreen and pop up messages. As Cm7 has optimization tweaks and Stock aosp feel. I really want to go back but still trying to decide if I should wait.

Hey Alan, I noticed on your CM7 review the voodoo control app has Voodoo Color options. Do you know if this only appears in gingerbread builds maybe?
I have tried to find color options in the Voodoo Control app in 2.2 roms, but all there is, is Voodoo Sound options.
Thanks!

i got bricked, hay what a sad day.

i like MIUI.. i've never tried CM7 and dont know if i will.
i had miui for almost a week until earlier this morning when was playing music using the music widget, it would skip songs or not even finish a whole song then on to the next song.. weird, i didnt like that, it's probably because i was browsing through pictures at the same time on miui gallery ( buggy,makes my phone FC, sluggish) that made the songs skip?. so i went back to 2.2
i like the rom. it's very nice! very customizable and easy on the eyes.. ill get back to it when it becomes stable even if gps is still broken...

Damn! How many apps do you have on your phone Alanrocks? That's nuts! I just counted mine, I have 16 downloaded. But I dont play games on my phone and Im OCD about having too much stuff and any bloat so I keep my apps to a minimum.

Yea I love this ROM but I guess its not compatible with Ripple Lock Screen yet or something.When I use it my screen takes like 6 seconds to unlock, really strange as this was not happening with 2.2.1.
Other than that, PERFECT

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.

Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

Have you tried running it at 800Mhz? This is my setting while i'm at work, then back to 1Ghz at home. I see no difference in speed IMO

The only things oxygen is missing that I really like is the 4g notification toggle, and incognito mode on the browser.

V6 Supercharge Script

After seeing all the set ups in the ROM/Kernel combo thread, I put V6 supercharge on my phone last night. Maybe it's too early but I am not seeing any improvement. Let me add that I always exit out of apps using the back button vs. the home button which normally kills the app thus keeping my RAM more free. I don't know if that's why I'm not seeing any difference or what. My phone is already snappy so I'm not complaining. Just wanted to see what sort of results everyone else was getting.

You set it up wrong

Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Make sure the "Supercharge" script under /system/etc/init.d is set to "Run at Boot" and "Run as Root," using Script Manager of course, and then Reboot your device.

Yes it stuck and yes I am running the script in the system folder. Maybe a better question to ask is what sort of improvements have others seen and what setting are you using.
Thank you both for your replies.

I'm using 8 at the moment. It's hard to tell, because this is a new ROM for me, but I ran 9 on MIUI and there was definite, visible improvement in response time.
