Root [Kernel]{ZVD}Speed, Speed_Unlshd & Stock/Root Kernel(s)

Is the kernel supposed to be the same name as stock
sorry it has the same name lol im not sure how to edit the name i only added the tweaks through dsixda's kitchen.. im not too good with kernels but i know this works perfectly because its stock with added minfree tweaks which is very safe tweak and very much needed lol

hopefully pg or someone else with experience gets a hold of this soon and gets a good kernel cooking :D

i used the speed kernal can you explain what this does. is it like an overclocking but without changeing the cpu if that makes sense
no the speed kernel only has minfree tweaks :D minfree is the android stock internal task killer, they are a set of numbers that represent how much ram is allowed for a specific use ie: background apps, or hidden apps..

the stock settings are a higher value which means the systems lets more things happen in the background before it starts to cleanup after itself

by lowering these values it forces the android system to keep More Ram available at all times so you will notice windows opening faster and a smoother swappiness with your screen and overall reactiveness will be greater, but this is a safe common tweak most developers use for custom roms, there's no scripts re-writing any functions of the rom its just a simple value change.. i've unplugged my phone about 40 minutes ago and been playing around here and there and my battery is still at 100% lol so it stops unneeded background proccesses as well at a safe rate

i am watching my ram on the widget and i dont know if its accurate or not but when i first booted my phone up into the kernal it was at 100+ram and now its at 50-60 and it wont go past that... is it suppose to keep it up at a highram? if so did i forget a step in flashing the kernal.. wat i did is just download zip from sd card.. was i suppose to also click apply update? in the clockworkrecovery
