So do I, but your kernel didn't come from those sources did it?
Cause it unpacked/repack stock kernel not custom built from source?

Correct cicsogee - this is not a custom kernel - this is the kernel build by samsung. It was not build by badboy. As proof, for those of you running this kernel, assuming you have root permissions, shell into the device wtih adb (command adb shell), then when logged in, do the following:
1. su
2. cat /proc/version
You will notice that the version states the following:
"Linux version 2.6.35.7 (se.infa@SEI-46) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMT 1"

se.info@SEI-46 is the user name and computer name of a samsung build machine. "se" stands for samsung electronics. Just do a google search for "@SEI" and you will see other posts referring to stock samsung kernels with @SEI in the version info.

I'm not sure why baddroidboy would pass a samsung kernel off as his own, however I would be wary of using anything he is promoting.

For those of you who have seen my name around here, you will see that I have provided a custom kernel for the replenish. There are links on this forum to how to install it. If you do install it, and run cat /proc/version, you will see that the computer name is not SEI (it is in fact kitchen, which is the name of my computer that sits in my kitchen). I provide my kernel here not for money or donations, but because it is a hobby and my wife and I both have the replenish and I wanted longer battery life. So please don't take my post here as me trying to promote my kernel for self gain. I'm just letting you all know it appears baddroidboy is promoting something as his own that he did not in fact create, mostly as a way to drive traffic to the area51 website I suspect. And I imagine solicit for donations.

My two cents

ok then gsmarena has the wrong specs on the replenish they report the cpu as being a
Chipset Qualcomm MSM7627-2
CPU 600 MHz

and the prevail as

Chipset Qualcomm MSM7627-3
CPU 800 MHz

i pulled the data sheets on both processors and they are almost identical and since the prevail/precedent will run 988mhz stable (my precedent (a rebranded prevail) is running at 988mhz) i do not see why the replenish is not capable of 900mhz and still be stable.

more info on the processor can be found here
Qualcomm MSM7627 Application Processor with Modem Datasheet | CPUlist | PDAdb.net

actually a bit different. the 72xx series is for gsm, the msm76xx series is its cdma brethern. the msm7627 is what is in the replenish/optimus s/c/v/etc the msm7627t is what powers the prevail/admire/precedanct/vitality/repp

and id highly reccomend against trying for 1ghz.. had several admires sizzle and pop...

dmrlook -

BadDroidBoy's kernel adds the data2ext (provided you have an SD card partition prior to installing the kernal) support which firehak revealed he could do, but never released. Below is a screenshot from my own phone which shows the increase in internal storage. Other than the data2ext however, the kernel is identical to the stock one.

If you two could come up with an agreement to add his data2ext support to your kernel, I believe it would resolve the biggest issues that most people have with the Replenish (storage, performance, and battery life).

Actually, it is not the kernel that adds data2ext support - it is the stuff in the RAMdisk that installs along side the kernel. The kernel is stock samsung. I'd be happy to add data2ext support to my kernel. I'll work with firehak soon to get instructions on how to get that in. No problem.

This is a 7227 running at 600MHz. I believe the prevail uses a 7627 at 800MHz

It is an armvg6. I looked it up.
