So, I've compiled a new overclockable kernel off xda users's NeoPhyTe.x360 SG2 kernel, this should give you better battery life and also performance when you needed.

Video Tour:

Video Update on CWM:

For those of you who weren't getting good battery life and also wasn't getting performance, this kernel should help.

At stock 1.2Ghz (with no setCPU), you can get your performance back, getting like near 3400 on Quadrant without overclocking.

*Note - As always, this is experimental kernel, flash it at your risk and don't take the battery out while you use ODIN!!!

UPDATE: After using it for couple hours at 1.5Ghz, it works really well, everything works faster at 1.5Ghz!!! good battery life too.

Features:
Root+SU (yes, roots your phone too if coming from stock)
ClockworkMod Recovery (USB Mount not working in recovery but will fix soon)
To get into recovery, hold down Volume Up and Power button together until you see orange menus.
Can be overclocked to 1.6Ghz usig setCPU.
Long battery life with 500-1200 Mhz ondemand (the best to get low batt drain, should drain lower in sleep)
Lowest maximum freq blocked to 400mhz (so if you put 200-200, it will run 200-400, locked due to better performance)
Performance increases without overclocking.

For those of you early adopters, please try and let me know of issues, thx!

Having issues with voice and data?

Most likely not from the kernel but you just need to do an MSL update, see video tutorial here.

Haven't seen any info one way or the other, is this working with CM9 Alpha3, and to top it off I have the USCC gs2 if that makes a difference at all. Working my way out of noob-dom with the gs2, had a MT Triumph and did pretty well with modding it. Samsung is a whole new animal for me.

for the love of god do not flash this. it is old and 90% of it is kanged from other people, the only cm9 kernel is the cm9 kernel that comes in the builds. we dont have source so we cant build supa awesome kernels
