I've been using your kernel for about a week now, but I just don't comment often (at all) due to the lack of time. But here I am now!

First of all..a background of how I wound up using (and LOVING) your kernel!

1. I've tried Fugu which was great but the RAM management was awful (for me anyway) and even with this or that RAM script applied. My phone would often have way too little free RAm whether or not I happen to be multi-tasking which made it slow down to a crawl and choke up at times. I know not many have experienced this with Fugu, but I did so I felt I needed a change.

2. I moved on to Talon which looked very promising and it did work well and was very stable and RAM management was a dream however I couldn't OC/UV properly for the life of me lol bummer

3. I saw your kernel and decided hey why not since Talon is a great kernel in itself, why not Talon with a few other modifications and improvements? And after a week's usage, I have to admit that this is probably the best kernel I've used in the longest time since I've moved on to Gingerbread!

My usage: normal phone things, internet, a few widgets on screen, fairly graphics and memory intensive games (30-60 mins a day or so)..I don't use GPS or bluetooth.

Now some things to report based on my usage of snail09 (I will move on to 10 after posting this)

1. SUPER STABLE. Aside from the odd phone reboot bug, it's been a dream to use. I never needed to intentionally reboot my phone for any reason (ex. phone hanging, phone choking up, phone getting crazy slow, etc.) not once, I tell you!

2. Phone reboot bug - I don't call or receive calls often but I did experience it whenever I did. HOWEVER, weird thing was..when I flashed a new theme (Sensation by Crysis) the bug disappeared (?!) I tested it a few times too, and still no reboot! I was previously on Ock's theme. Perhaps it's tied to the Phone.apk since Crysis did theme the phone apk as well..but I dunno for sure.

3. No issues with wifi whatsoever

4. I could OC to 1200 without problems but I decided not to since I felt that I didn't need to 'cus it's just that snappy!

5. RAM management, just like with Talon, is awesome! Multi-tasking without issues at all!

6. Phone does heat up quite a bit more than usual when charging from the laptop. I often wake up to see that my phone has stopped charging in the middle of the night due to overheating (at around 47%). This happened 2-3 times this past week, however it isn't a consistent thing. Maybe it's just something with my phone or apps that's causing the issue.

7. No boot animation, as you know :)) But I can live with it for now. And hey, with this much stability, I hardly ever see (or need to see) the boot screen using this kernel anyway!

Well, that's all for now! I am VERY happy with this kernel and I thank you so much for all your work on this! I hope you don't abandon this project. I know you've said that you don't have that much time to dedicate to this kernel, however I do hope you still continue working on it even just a little bit and update it now and then. Hate to see a good development go to waste! :( (Lastufo comes's SOK comes to mind)

And from what I've noticed, you seem to be a really nice and helpful guy. You deserve more support! Ignore the close minded people ;) Change and variety is good. It keeps things interesting and pushes development forward like it should.

Best of luck with all your work! I'll ask permission later so that I may donate to you. :) Thank you again!

Sorry for the lengthiness of this comment lol
