Finally out of beta... a public release.
LoStKernel does not claim to get RID of LoS, but it does significantly cut down on it. Over the past 2-3 weeks, numerous people have downloaded it, and I can say that it has had maybe a 5% reported LoS rate, and of those people, they had a significant reduction in the amount of LoS they had.
Now the kernel isn't all about LoS though, its fast and stable, and your phone will be smooth and snappy. That's the goal after all isn't it? something we can use?
There are 2 builds of LoS Kernel, the Standard build, and the Experimental Build. The standard build can always be considered stable, on the other hand, the Experimental build is where features go for testing before they are committed to the standard branch. Also, the Experimental build is cutting edge, overclocking the CPU 1400mhz and 1600mhz as well as Voltage control and Setcpu interface support. There is also Gpu O/C support. (Terminal command support only at this time.)
Both Builds are updated pretty regularly so check ACS regulary for updates...

Standard features:
Exp features:
DO NOT USE TEGRAK WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL BUILD
I recommend Voltage Control or SetCpu.
to change the gpu clocking:
Please report any problems or bugs in the Exp branch to #lostkernel on freenode.net
Now for thanks.. its a long list..
Testers: not all of them so if I left you out, MY BAD
especially that guy that said only shitty developers code on the touch.. you inspire me daily.
And Please remember, I do not own this phone... so before you ask me a question, think about whether or not it's something I could possibly know without having one in my hand...

There is no quid pro quo, I only put this button here because I was asked to.
Don't donate because you feel obligated or because you think I will feel obligated.
My work will continue regardless. All donations are appreciated none-the-less.

First off, big thanks to #samsung-epic-touch, #lostkernel over on freenode.net.. and #epic over on fossnet.info
naerok for hosting my builds when my host went down, Rodderik and insan|ty for dev-phone in general... rodderik helps me a hell of a lot.
ACS, is a great team of testers and we find ways to make things happen. who else makes kernels like this without phones???
Rjmjr69 makes things happen behind the scenes..
Bubby323 soon to be on a phone near you..
