I think that is pretty impressive! This ROM has become more popular than I ever thought it would and I'm very happy that everyone is enjoying our work!

Big Announcement!

I have been working on a kernel to go along with and be exclusive to viperROM, starting with RC2. Now, before I start talking about the details of the kernel, I need to throw a HUGE shoutout to luisrcastillo for the kernel and teaching me the basics of how to work with kernels. He doesn't have time to work on this and basically gave this to me as a huge gift, and what a wonderful gift it is! This kernel is based on Netarchy's Silverneedle, so a big thanks to Netarchy for the base of this kernel! Netarchy has helped me immensely with quite a few things and he is the master of shell scripts! Some major parts of my viperMOD Voltage Control and viperMOD Bloat Manager were some great coding from him. He is always there for me to ask questions and I can't thank him enough. Last but certainly not least, huge props to Cayniarb, the maker of the wonderful Tiamat kernels I used to run on my EVO 4G. Once I got a little bit familiar with kernels, he spent a TON of time with me in IRC helping me, letting me borrow his configs to look at, explaining things, showing me everything I asked. Between these 3 great devs, they have helped me tremendously and they are part of the reason that RC2 is going to be amazing! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Now, for some details on the kernel... luisrcastillo made this kernel, but best of all, used viperROM as the ROM for testing it :D The kernel flies!! Super fast, great on battery, and make the ROM even better! Been running it for about a week and it's completely stable! Here is what is done so far:

Updated to 2.6.35.14

CFS

CIFS

BFQ

SLQB

OC to 1728MHz

Some other plans that Luis had that I plan to implement in the future:

Audio tweaks

Undervolting

Port HAVS sysfs to change voltage on the fly

InteractiveX governor

Some things that I will get done before RC2:

Undervolting

Tons of kernel and governor tweaks

More slots, OC to 2GHz

Some of the other mods that Luis planned will take some time to get done (as they aren't in an E3D kernel right now) and I will need to learn a little bit more about the technical aspect of these to implement it properly.

Other Information:

So there you have it, guys! This is just part of what we have planned for the next release. I have RC2 under heavy optimization right now, I have some custom batch operations that have been running for over 2 days, everything in the ROM is basically getting rebuilt. I have been keeping an eye on Google Code (please keep sending things in and commenting there!) and I will get as much of that implemented as I can. This ROM will always be a ROM based on the EVO 3D community's input - think of it as a "Family ROM". This is how Vin and I believe it should be done and I hope you guys can see that in the work that we put out.

On that note, we both thank everyone who uses our ROM and we especially thanks everyone who has donated to us! I know Vin is saving up for a fancy new tablet (as am I) to develop on and continue our Android passion. In the im these damn expensivel starts back up for me on Monday and I'm going to use some of these kind donations to help offset the cost of these damn expensive books (why the HELL don't they just make school books available for rent on the Kindle??) so all the donations really help, thanks so much!
