This is a project started to add some features that I like to Shadow Kernel by bbelos and tweak some things to the way I like them. It turns out that others like these tweaks also.

This is basically the same as the v2 version I have posted within the AOKP thread with some minor changes.

Major thanks go out to bbelos as I used his kernel as a base.

Features:
-Voodoo Color
-Voodoo Sound
-MDNIE DISABLED
-A lot of CPU governors
-Tweaked color values
-Speed tweaks
-Optimizations
-Up to date with CM9 kernel
-Overclocking up to 1.4 GHz
-Custom undervolting via Voltage Control
-Battery optimized
-Bumped up readahead
-O3 size optimization

Thanks:
Bbelos - Base kernel and most of the tweaks and mods
Earthbound[iap] - Some of the governors
Epiccm team - Porting CM9 to the Epic
Ezekeel - A large chunk of tweaks also

I/O Schedulers: (sources [1] [2])

1. no-op - A simple, flash optimized I/O scheduler and intended to run on the java vm (good for the Epic)
2. deadline - Can't find a way to explain it simply (good for the Epic)
3. sio - A mix of deadline and no-op (BEST for Epic)
4. bfq - Holy mother of god. confusing as hell... (I don't even know...)
5. cfq - Tries to be fair and "in the middle" (made for spinning disk, not really good for phones)

CPU Governors: (sources [1] [2])

• Ondemand - switch to max frequency as soon as there is a CPU activity detected to ensure the responsiveness of the system. Works best with sio. You can tweak this in NSTools.
• Wheatley - A governor created by Ezekeel that is made to keep a medium of performance and battery. Acts similar to ondemand. Default.
• Conservative - A slower ondemand which scales up slowly to save battery.
• Scary - Seems to scale up with demand at a pace similar to Conservative but scales down fast to preserve battery.
• Performance - Stays at max frequency
• Powersave - Stays at min frequency
• Intellidemand
• Smoothass
• SmartassV2
• Samurai
• Lagfree
• SavagedZen
• Interactive
• InteractiveX
• Userspace

How to overclock:
(By overclocking you take many risks and I am not responsible for ANY of them...)

1. Download Voltage Control from the Play Store
2. Move to the Voltages tab
3. Tap the gray cpu chip next to foltage you want to use (probably all of them)
4. Go back to the General tab
5. Pull the MAX slider to the level you want to overclock to
6. Click save settings

How to undervolt:
(By undervolting you take many risks and I am not responsible for ANY of them...)

1. Download Voltage Control from the Play Store
2. Move to the Voltages tab
3. Tap the number of the frequency you want to undervolt (lower freqs = safer and less chance to freeze)
4. Move the slider backwards until you reach a level you like (I like -75 up to 1000MHz)
5. Click save settings
