I know this Kernel is gone because of some problems (I think) but I figured I'd post this info anyways just so it's out there!

Contrary to what some people have said, I didn't see many problems with the 1.5GHz overclock. It definitely did hurt the battery life a little but not hugely! Just have SeeCPU, Advanced Task Killer, and JuiceDefender and you'll be okay ;)

The pics are pretty self explanatory I think but if you have questions let me know!

I've had atk forever, and got CPU Tuner after I saw the battery drop 20% in just over an hour.

After getting CPU Tuner, the battery life was SLIGHTLY better, but not enough to satisfy me. The battery dropped 9% while I was at work; that means only my break time worth of use (25 minutes). The rest of the time it was on silent with the screen off in my cubby.

In fact, if someone were to crunch the numbers, I bet it wouldn't be more than a 10-15% benefit in battery life. That would mean I'm still sitting at well over a 250% drop in battery performance (I noted that my battery life was 300% worse since installing the kernel in another thread).

The battery life is no doubt worse with the kernel. With SeeCPU I have a profile set that it doesnt go over 400MHz when the screen is off which I think saves a lot of power! Unless you are literally constantly using the phone (e.g. screen on and typing/doing something) I don't think it's toooooooo bad.

Just wanting an undervolted/overclocked kernel! Gahhh

Mine is set to 426mhz with the screen off... Apparently it didn't help much over a 6 hour period where the screen was on for a total of 25 minutes. :p

No worries though. I'll just remove it and check the next one. I like the speed though. Gotta give props on that.
