[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kornyone:
As far as "Alpha", "RC", etc -- I didn't put much thought into that. I just knew it was stable enough to warrant further testing. I actually wanted to just leave a datestamp on it as a formal marker, and not call it anything at all.

I have been criticized for my release cycles in the past, and the fact I "fall off" or disappear from time to time. I guess I should put it out there once....

* I believe highly in quality releases and software revision. While something I release or push may contain a bug(s), it's likely not dangerous or unusable. It will not cripple your phone and it's not for show. For example: I am porting the ApexQ as well. I focused on the Doubleshot since I got RIL working last week, but no audio. That's not worth releasing. Same deal with the NexusQ -- I never open sourced that project or released a build for others to use, because it's not complete (without audio, the NexusQ is pretty pointless). I hack these devices because I want them to be better. Coming to the forums tends to be an afterthought.

* I am Bipolar I, and most of my productivity comes in binges. When productive, I am generally wrapped up in (positive) mania, and have some free time. I get on a roll, and things click (hyperfocused). Other times, I fight with depression and the other parts of Bipolar mania. It dictates not just my personality, but my workflow with my offtime.

* Speaking of the NexusQ, ApexQ (Relay 4g), Doubleshot, bipolar mania, working second shift, etc... the Doubleshot doesn't get the attention it deserves from me.

This is why I tried hard and successfully got the Doubleshot in CM Gerrit review. TBalden and I have +2 on the CM Doubleshot repos. We want the community to help with making this phone awesome, as neither of us have the time to do it full time.

I literally brought this phone up to JB/CM10 in the past few days. That was after spending a few days cleaning up stuff in CM9 to make those weekly builds clean, and get it in the jenkins build bot. It's been ready since the 9.1.0 release (8/29). I had not worked on the Doubleshot code in ~3 months (before this week). All this productivity literally came in a short burst on my 'night time', adjusting to being on second shift this week after finally returning home from training 6 weeks and being in hotels.

I came back from the BigAndroidBBQ rejuvenated (two weeks ago). That helped a lot that my training ending, and the BBQ, coincided in time. I was dying to get back to home, family, and hopefully Android.

I cherry-picked scverhagen's kernel repos, only omitting the gpu overclocking and the undervolting changes. The rest is very much the same as his kernel (as of a few days ago). That is in this Alpha build.

I have talked to scverhagen via PM here on XDA, and we are talking about his commits to CM Gerrit. I will be reviewing them, and I suggest everyone who has something to offer to help source builds of Doubleshot be better and knows how -- use the Gerrit review!

I had never talked to scverhagen before I began this thread, but I made sure to thank him in bold in my OP for this thread for keeping our kernel clean and up to date. I hope we can work together with the common goal of making a better Doubleshot experience for all.

Once I can sign off on the kernel changes I made and confirm some of the local hacks I have (if they're in CM or if I need to push changes to Gerrit for that stuff), I will likely create and push the Jellybean branch to official CM repos.

Thanks for all the support, I just want this phone to kick ass :)
