I've created a custom ROM based on the S5660XXKS5 stock ROM that has the following changes / features:
Custom kernel:
Overclocking using SetCPU (stable for me at 883MHz but frequencies up to 1GHz are provided).
TUN driver (for OpenVPN).
EXT3/4 filesystem support (useful for DT Apps2SD).
CIFS (SMB) filesystem support to mount windows shares over WiFi (or 3G + VPN).
Support for swap.
SmartassV2 and interactive cpu frequency governors (enable them using SetCPU).
Other modifications:
DT Apps2SD pre-installed.
Enabled native SIP calling.
The openvpn binary so you won't have to use OpenVPN Installer.
Rooted (includes ChainDD's Superuser 3.0 and the latest su binary).
CRT animation (enable animations from the display settings to enable).
Disabled fully charged notification (still visible on the lock screen).
init.d subsystem.
Juwe11's ram script.
Re-odexed (optional) and zipaligned for speed and save space in /data.
Added busybox and sqlite3.
GPS fix speed fix (hopefully).
Updated/added Chrome to Phone, DSP Manager, Gmail, Maps, Market, Music (from Ice Cream Sandwich), Samsung Apps, Talkback, Voice Search, YouTube.
Removed unwanted Samsung apps (Hangman, Book Store, Music Store).
Distinctive features inherited from the stock rom:
Overscroll glow.
Compass appears to be working without patches.
Notes:
If you're experiencing problems with the new Market application, clear its settings and cache.
This ROM doesn't have a boot animation. Somehow it doesn't stop showing the animation at the end of the boot sequence so I've disabled it. As a positive side-effect, it shaves a couple of seconds off the boot time.
To prevent you from doing silly things, this ROM will wipe the dalvik-cache on first boot and then reboot.
Downloads:
The latest beta is available from my website, Particle Android.

I'll look into it but from what I recall this requires some very rigorous changes in the framework.
great rom i wonder why the boot animation wont work/isnt changeable. i've tried changing the boot splash image in the recovery.img (gio.rle) but wasnt sure how to replace the modified recovery.img. anyhow keep up the good work!

The problem is not that it won't start (I deliberately disabled it), the problem is that it won't stop.

CF-Root takes the kernel from an original Samsung firmware, and just adds root, busybox, and ClockWorkMod (CWM3) recovery.

Hi hyriand, I am loving your Particle Rom so far! However, I am a GT-5660M User (Bell Canada version of Gio). Seeing as the modem that you include in your particle rom isn't really compatible, I made my own ODIN-flashable modem file for use with our Bell phones. It is the AMSS file extracted from the original Bell 2.3.4 firmware.
Perhaps you can incorporate it into a future version of your rom? Since I cannot post links yet.. you will find a PM in your inbox with it
On another note, I have a few suggestions for some features that I think would be very nice to have:
1.) For overclocking, if we had voltage control with setcpu over the kernel, perhaps overclocking to 900Mhz-1Ghz would be more realistic?
2.) BLN (backlight notification) support. Other phones such as Samsung Galaxy S, Nexus S have support for this in the kernel. It would make for a very nice indicator for new notifications while the phone is sleeping.
3.) Voodoo Sound (if the phone has an appropriate headphone amplifier chip?).
4.) Automatic Screen Brightness Dimming (This would require an ambient light sensor, does our phone even have one?).
5.) Battery Percentage Level in Notification Bar. Simplygio 1.3 has this for example.

about BLN, i think we can add it to kernel. squadzone has posted the config of kernal ext3/4 & BLN support.
about auto dimming, i think our phone doesn't have light sensor
can u make kernel with Undervolt feature bro Hyriand?
i think its very usefull for battery life
and i've question about smartassV2.
this governor will automatic reduce the max & min clock when the screen off right?
when i use my phone for 10 min for sms & chat my phone temp reach 40 celcius
and i check the processor clock with setcpu, the clock is often in max clock
i think better conservative governor than smartassV2 for clock management when the phone screen is not turn off
how do u think hyriand?
who have better clock management between smartassV2 and conservative?
I just noticed that this is on GB 2.3.4. I thought I read somewhere that it was at 2.3.5? Just checking in case I FUBARed.

Well, as long as the baseband is sort of compatible, flash the update.zip using ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM works on S5660M, right?). If that doesn't work, I'll create a Particle ROM based on the ROM you sent me.
Voltage control seems to be managed by the CPU itself. I'm already looking into controlling it to undervolt it for the lower frequencies.
I'll look into BLN, Voodoo Sound and brightness control (maybe the proximity sensor can be abused, no idea how that works).
I like the battery level indicator the way it is (I'm not really into theming), but feel free to install the deodexed version of Particle and customize that with uot kitchen.

- Interactive governor (http://github.com/Unhelpful/linux-galaxy/commit/aea72a98a2f261901d6f28f2d1deae3921d35948)
- user configurable UV settings (default value = 0 for UVLF and UVHF) for conservative governor only
- /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/UVLF_mV (for 100-800mhz)
- /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/UVHF_mV (above 800mhz)
- for example # echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/UVLF_mV (will UV by 50mV for 100-800mhz)
- for example # echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/UVHF_mV (will UV by 50mV for 1-1.2ghz)
- Setting increment of 25 (eg 25,50,75,100). Anything out range may hang
- Anything above 100 will be set to 100 (but I doubt you can get 100mV without crashing)
- After setting, do ur benchmarks and if everything is stable, you can add the command above into your init script depending which lagfix you have, add into your script.
Thanks!
Some questions:
1) the first thread about oc mentioned 1.2ghz, was this unstable for you?
2) Is this over-volted, under-volted, or no changes in voltage?
3) I'm guessing if I update to this kernal, I will loose any features of other kernals, like the lag-fix kernal?
I hope you can persuade the other devs to include this in their roms.
It this just for the unbranded SGS or does it work for TMO vibrant too?

the kernel is just for the international version
it is just a test, i hv not test the limit yet.. this is a new phone so want to take it easy
i kept the voltage stock so just overclock a little and if its stable, will do more . More testing and reading is needed before i touch on the voltage.
it does not include mimocan's mod, i will work on it next release

Do you notice the postive effects of the overclock in any way? What does it do with benchmarks? Also do you test for (temperature) stability with some games as well, as they use the graphics card a lot which is on the same chip. Even when not overclocked the SGS can get prettty warm.
Installs nicely, oc ok to, but dont see that much increase in linpack.
Nice work tho.

Was 1.2ghz unstable?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
interested in this... Allthough the phone does seem to get hot during heavy use, it doesn't get 'too' hot.
I have seen about 47 degrees celcius max read from battery temp (which seems to be cpu temp on our phones as my battery was stone cold)
Hi any possibility get v1 without mimocan.
Got samset including it nd sgs wnt boot cause of mimocan included.

I am using JM2. Does this make my phone any faster? Does it maked it lag free?
After tested this oc.. i am bit unsure: i get no performance increase... Is it confirmed that its functional?
This modification is ONLY for firmwares with Android 2.1 (eclair)!
if you are searching for a froyo (android 2.2) version: BLN for froyo
What is BackLightNotification?
The BackLightNotification mod converts the touchkey backlights into a notification led.
What is modified?
The BackLightNotification mod replaces the kernel by a modified kernel and it also replaces the lights.default.so in /system/lib/hw/.
In detail:
This kernel includes my backlight notification patch and additionally ext4 and tun modules. (For lagfix and vpn support.) The lights.default.so in /system/lib/hw/ enables android led notification via backlights. This mod does not include any modified app. To enable led/backlight notification for an app/function see the Q&A "How do i enable notification for ...?"
What Galaxy S phones are supported?
This kernel is only for i9000 and i9000m (Bell Vibrant).
If you want BLN for any other Galaxy S phone, then please ask someone who creates custom-kernels for that phone, whether she/he would like to include BLN. The patches are compatible to all already released Galaxy S phones.
Does this mod drain the battery?
No, that issue has been fixed in v1.0. Some blogs are still reporting that, but that is an old news that applies to an early beta version.
Measurements showed, that an ongoing BLN increases battery consumption by 0,18% per hour. The average battery consumption without BLN is 1,04% per hour, so an ongoing BLN results in an overall battery consumption of 1,22% per hour. And by the way: ongoing NoLed results in an overall battery consumption of more than 9,5% per hour. Please see the Q&A "How much does this modification affect battery life?".
How reliable will I be notified with this mod?
With this mod you will get 100% reliable notifications via touchkey backlights.
Why could you state, that this mod is 100% reliable?
The BLN mod activates already available APIs in android. If an application initiates a led notification, it will call the notification manager and that will call liblights (lights.default.so), which enables/disables the backlights by calling the (modified) touchkey kernel driver.
For more questions and answers have a look at the Q&A in the second post.
If you have A2SD or mimocan lagfix installed, remove/disable it before installing BacklightNotification.
Instructions for installation/update:
New method: SGS kernel flasher app:
If your phone is already rooted you can try the SGS kernel flasher app.
Just download&install the app and select any .tar or update.zip that you want to flash from this thread.
If your phone is not rooted and/or you dont want to root the phone, you can use the odin/heimdall method.
Update.zip-method:
Download "i9000_BacklightNotification_v1.6.zip" (md5: 606aa95a2b43be900928cd7a32eb5a7e)
copy the zip-file to /sdcard/
rename the zip-file to "update.zip"
power off the phone
boot into recovery mode (by pressing "Vol Up" + "home key" + "power key" together,
when bootlogo appears, release the keys)
apply update.zip (Vol Up/Down to select and Home key to apply -
you will see strange characters and a flickering screen, that is normal)
wait for reboot
install apps, if needed, see the Q&A "How do i enable backlight notification for ...?"
If you want to have more control over BacklightNotification:
BLN control app - blinking, call notification, scheduler and more to come
BackLightNotification with Voodoo lagfix(-only) beta4/v3.0:
i9000_BacklightNotification_v1.6_with_voodoo_lagfix_beta4.zip (md5: dde016adb2c18182a1bff25bdc6a0048)
Support for voodoo lagfix:
Discuss about Project Voodoo / lagfix, color or http://project-voodoo.org/
Removal:
Download "i9000_android_2.1_remove_backlight_notification.zip" (md5: 9a9baa80b18e24eac19c02e7cb3a153a)
(if you have the voodoo package, use the package from project-voodoo)

call: my BLN control - Pro from market
any other apps not shipped with stock-samsung firmware:

Chainfire's CFLagFix is compatible
RyanZA's OneClick LagFix APK is compatible
RyanZA's One Click Lag Fix 2.0 is compatible
Tayutama's "LagFix using update.zip's" is compatible
Mimocan's lagfix is not compatible (solution: remove/disable lagfix)
A2SD is not compatible (solution: remove/disable A2SD lagfix)
How much does this modification affect battery life?
With backlight notification permanently powered on, the battery lasts around 82 hours (around 3,5 days, 1,22% per hour). This means, that activated backlights will increase battery usage by about 0,18% per hour. If there is no backlight notification ongoing, battery life is normal (around 96 hours, 1,04% per hour). Tested with flight mode enabled.
How do you test the battery consumption? This is a common and reliable method.
Can you get this mod working with Android 2.2 (froyo)?
BacklightNotification for Froyo is now available.
Could you add a fade feature?
That is not possible, hardware is limited (by controller firmware) to simple on/off.
Could you add a flashing/blinking light/pulse feature/option?
That is available in the froyo kernel combined with the bln control pro.
I got the message "Cannot open update.zip (bad)". What does this message mean?
That means the file got corrupted, you should delete the update.zip in /sdcard/ and download the zip-file again, copy it again to /sdcard/ and rename it to "update.zip".

I'm absolutely sure that this modification will not work with Android 2.2 until Samsung will release their sources for 2.6.32 kernel. Hopefully they will release the sources soon after the official release of Android 2.2 for i9000.
There is a wakelock in the driver, to avoid that the backlight controller will be disabled while the phone is suspending.
BUT that means that a full/deep suspend is suppressed and the battery drains a lot faster. Only screen and touch input is disabled.
This should motivate you to react faster on a notification...
If you dont have a notification, the phone can do a full suspend and the battery last longer.

It drains battery less than NoLed, because the amoled screen is completely powered off.
And it is more reliable than NoLed, if the applications support led notification.
At the moment you can only choose between this solution and NoLed, both have their disadvantages...

Does this blink the backlight's or keep em on ? Just wondering before i give it a shot. Also could you give a rough idea as to how much it affects battery life ? (% perhaps).
I mean if all it does is blink the backlight for say once every 10seconds, i doubt its a huge battery loss :S
It turns the backlights only on.
Flashing backlights may be a feature for a future release.
With enabled backlight the battery lasts around 36 hours.
If no notification is ongoing, battery life is normal.

Only flashing is not so hard, but to safe some battery life while backlights are off is hard.
Android needs around 200ms to suspend and another 200ms to resume.
And switching repeatedly between suspend/resume state could drain the battery even more, if it is not done right.
Samsung removed the led notification from their touchwiz phone app.
I dont know why they did that. It would not hurt anyone, if they had not removed it....
So call notification could be done by an additional intermediary app or by replacing the touchwiz phone app with the aosp phone app.
I applied the update as described. Unfortunately, it bricked my phone. I can hear the Samsung start-up sound, but the screen doesn't come on. Any ideas?

Please refrain from using the word "brick" its very misleading.
A kernel cannot brick ur phone.
Just flash the backup image on ur sdcard this script creates.

Do you have a lagfix installed?
If yes and the lagfix requires a specific kernel, in that case you should flash that specific kernel.
Otherwise use this stock-samsung android 2.1 kernel with Odin:
http://www.multiupload.com/G5P9BUF2Q7 (md5: f87e6badf3eedac00e57eb43695cde07)
Put your phone into download mode:
Press "Vol Down" + "menu button" + "power button" together, for at least 6 seconds, until download screen appears.
Start Odin and connect your phone to the pc.
Select the appropriate pit file for your firmware and select Kernel_i9000_android_2.1_stock.tar for PDA in Odin.
DONT check "Re-partion".
Click "Start" to begin flash.

A kernel cannot brick ur phone.
Just flash the backup image on ur sdcard this script creates.

That means the file got corrupted, you should download it again and copy it again to /sdcard/. Delete the old update.zip in /sdcard/ before that. I have added md5 sums to the first post.
This is so nice...
I wish curio's voodoo magic was finished and public, so every kernel can be patched, so users wouldnt need to make choice...
The mod got an update, it is now more compatible with lagfixes.
I recommend you to update to v0.9.1 beta, if you are on v0.9 beta.
CLagFix 1.80 is tested and compatible.
OneClick LagFix should also work, but i have not tested it yet.
Would it be possible for a youtube video or screenshots of this in action? I don't understand what this would actually look like

I dont have a camera to take a photo or make a film.
If some one else could do that, i would appreciate that.
So let me try to explain what it does:
If you get, for example, a sms from your friend on your phone with an unmodified samsung-firmware, you will be noticed only by an icon in the notification bar.
This mod allows now every app to activate the backlights (the two led lights under menu and back button) for notifications.
If you now get a sms on your phone the backlights will be activated while the screen is powered off and this is the signal that you should have a look at your phone.
UPDATE/IMPORTANT/README 1ST
I am giving away the SGS and got a new SGS2. This means I won't be able to test updates on this kernel, this I will DISCONTINUE it soon.
I might update this kernel til i'm unable to (in a week prolly) so i'd suggest to switch over to another kernel, choices are, to my knowledge:
- zach's kernel: lots of tweaks, but people seems to have good results. its based on my kernel
- glitch's kernel: less tweaks but close, higher oc. its also based on my kernel
- cm7's stock kernel: i'm based on them of course, its the same as my kernel minus oc/uv and voodoo, but if you want something simple and stable without caring for oc/uv or voodoo color it's pretty good because it's reliable. voodoo sound works via voodoo +
Note that I'm still hanging out on the CM7 sgs channels and will most likely contribute one way or another still

Support FAQ
Q: Do LED notification require an app, such as BLN, etc ?
A: No. It uses Android's and Cyanogen settings, other apps are not required, although some that are designed for regular LEDs may work.
Q: How to I turn off LED notifications, scheduled or/and complete turn off?
A: Use Cyanogen's Quiet Hours feature (settings>cyanogen>sound>quiet hours) and check "Dim the LEDs during quiet hours" (in reality it will turn them off on the SGS). If you schedule a complete day, then LED notifications will be off all the time.
Q: How do I setup per app, find other LED settings etc?
A: Settings>cyanogen>interface>LED notifications
Q: What to do with LED color settings?
A: We have only one color, so that doesn't work. Use Green as default setting. Some non-bright colors turn off notification, as it's the equivalent as diming LEDs (note that on real LEDs if you dim them too much they look like off too anyway, the difference is that it's gradual. On the SGS the LEDs can be only on or off, not gradual)
Q: How can I troubleshot my system, I can use ADB but...
A: adb logcat | grep lights (on linux) will show you Android requests to turn LED on or off. "status" tells you what we decide will be interpreted as "turn LED on" (1= on, 0 = off)
adb shell cat /proc/kmsg for live view (or adb shell dmesg if you're using adb after the issues occurs - careful the backlog is limited in size so don't be too slow)
notify_led_on and notify_led_off are requests to the kernel to turn LED on or off.
touch key write/read errors (cypress) are non-fatal failures to ask the touch key to do something (eg lit up the LED), when the hardware goes crazy or there's a logical error in the code (can be both)
touch key recovery routine or "stopped responding" are either hardware errors, either a logical error where the driver would try to write something the touchkey doesnt understand. in some occasion lock&unlock fix those as a work around, of course a permanent fix is required
Q: I used another kernel and some things don't work as expected / I'm the only one to have a problem / music skip with screen off / etc
A: Try this cleanup script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13223426&postcount=1312
Features FAQ
Q: Why do you not implement jhash3?
A: This hash function is used in 3 places in the kernel, and mainly iptables. None of them are performance relevant unless you use your phone as router for a thousand of machines (and that is the *only* case). Yes, it is utterly useless.
Q: Why do you not implement XYZ?
A: Usually, same reason as jhash3. Feel free to suggest tho, some features are actually useful and I don't know everything.
It only work with CM7??? Or work in a Froyo or Gingerbread rom??
You just can't read?! CM7.

Its very stupid question, hence the a bit rude, yet truthful, answer. It says in the topic what this kernel is for.
I need to backup the WiFi modules before i get flash that?
Thanks a lot for posting this! Do you still have the "old" voodoo control app with you, that works with the headphone amplifier?
Thank you for providing the source code, that gives me an idea on what i have done wrong while implementing voodoo sound
btw have you guys experienced the volume bug mentioned here and here?
Anybody got a solution?
could not download
Sent from my Galaxy S using XDA App
Thanks heaps - installed it apparently ok - it runs the phone - the voodoo app can see the features and recognises that its a compatible kernal - but whenever trying to change the analogue volume - it force closes the app
is this relating to the broken git stuff for cyanogen - unrelated and just me doing something wrong - or its a bug and i can give you some logs or something to check whats happened?
I'll try doing a clean flash from an old firmware and come back again with the results in a few hours when i get home from work (err - probably shouldnt have tried experimenting with it at work - heh)
^^you need voodoo control app and voodoo app for it to get it to work.
@bilboa1
nice to see it's stand alone.
Edit : Crap, i can't get it to download, i've tried different browsers, using my phone. I even tried it from different computer with no luck
It seems github don't like my computer or my phone. Can anyone attach the .zip for i9000, PLEASE.
Hello, I'm from the Captivate forum, just seeing if any known bugs are found I heard Wi-Fi doesn't work.
Also had problems DL'ing. Attached the SGS i9000 file from the CM7_SGS_2011_03_04 folder. Thanks for the kernel!
sorry if this could be a dumb question, but I wanna be sure of what I'm doing:
If i use the CWM package, do I still need to flash te zImage and push the modules??
^^no need to, just flash it from recovery.
~drz
this is base on the latest kernel from the 02/03 update? it's will affect on the speed / smoothness (for bad)?
I think it was built from the latest commit.
just try it out man, if you don't like it, you can just flashed back to the "official" one.
The non-sgs kernel currently check for SGS model before flashing.. which of course won't work ;-) Ill change that when I get a little bit of spare time.

I'm assuming you're referring to the "disappearing" recovery...basically the way Voodoo works, since its designed to support a broad range of devices, is it runs a script to identify exactly which device its running on. This script dumps the partition table from the /dev/block/mmcblk0 and compares it to a list of known dumps. From then, it decides how to set up the file system. If it fails to find a match, it just exits out and goes to samsung init. As a result, you will either 1) boot into the ROM with the RFS file system or 2) boot into stock recovery, because that's what the stock init does.
What I've done is just remove the detection part and hard code it to a particular file system structure. The issue should definitely be resolved now.

Look, theming is really personal preference. Its impossible for us to satisfy everyone's taste. The team thinks that black notification bar rocks so that's that. If you wanna change it to white, you either..
1. Apply stock theme patch
2. Learn how to theme and change it to white yourself

Thanks Alterbridge and Team.
Just installed JUPITER (no wipe) over ICARUS and everthing seems to be working A-1. Love the new boot screen and the ROM is very fast and very smooth!
Just for those that may encounter the same issue:
Had a little anomaly the first time I flashed. All seem to go as it should and everything worked as it should, however, under 'SETTINGS' > 'ABOUT DEVICE', it said that the kernel was 3.3.0 (#79), but the build number was still 3.0.0- Icarus (Also, on initial boot up the boot screen was still the old Icarus screen). So, I repeated the no wipe flash procedure and everything is now working as it should. Correct kernel and build number in settings.
Thus far everything is working A-1 on this super fast and smooth ROM.
Many thanks again to Alterbridge and the Team.

By default Trickster color, some android property regarding UI smoothness and mobile data speed tweaks and screen state optimization are applied. If you want to change additional settings then either use the app or :
- Go to /sdcard/trickster directory, you'll see at most four following configuration files, depending on kernel features:
. color.conf: color related tweak
. general.conf: generic tweaks like zipalign, sqlite, and screenstate optimization
. kern_general.conf: generic kernel tweaks like CPU speed, governor, IO scheduler and readahead buffer
. kern_specific.conf: specific kernel features like sound control, WIFI power, fast charge... - Edit any above file to change the settings you want using app like ES Explorer, Root Explorer..., instructions included inside
- Settings are automatically applied when user saves any of these files
- Some changes require restarting your phone
- To check log to see if it works use "logcat|grep Trickster" from adb/terminal
Reinstall boot service, Reset settings, Removal instructions:
- If you install a new kernel that includes ramdisk (boot.img format like franco or leanKernel), you can either reinstall Trickster MOD, run "tricks install" from adb root shell or terminal, or apply this CWM zip from recovery.
- You can delete a configuration file, files, or entire /sdcard/trickster directory to reset to default settings for a file, files or all configuration respectively
- If you mess up and can't boot, say aggressive OC/UV , use this CWM zip to reset
- If you want to uninstall, use this CWM zip

No, it won't. This is supposed to be a unification for all the stuffs that one can unite on the GNex. I will try to create an app to do this along side of improving this script in the future.
TBH with the recent CM episode I felt this is needed even more, screw them all. My script or app won't include things that won't work with CM like what they did, I assure you.

It's fine, the mod is already written in a way that it can handle update like this with ease. If there's actually a new sysfs that isn't exist anywhere else, I will add it if I deem it necessary. If that were not the case I would be in for maintenance hell for every kernel of every dev's update .

You're welcome. I actually wanted to get into kernel dev before but it seems like destiny is a ***** and I am stuck with these, as I am not going able to find enough time to care for my ROM, this mod, the app that I wanted to create and a kernel to add to these. Ranting aside, I'm fine with how things are .
Where is trickster.conf?
Don't understand, I installed the zip, but no trickster.conf appeared in /sdcard...
Ok, probably a dumb question,
But can these literally be used on ANY rom?
Or at least any ICS rom?
For example, would this be useful on a moto atrix running ICS? (CM9 based)
There a few ICS roms for the atrix floating around and I just wanna know if I should share this thread with some of the devs over there?
I do have a G-nex that ive been able to play with over the last couple days, and its sweet! If I flash this mod, are there any noticeable changes right off the bat, or just after imputing a command through terminal?
Thanks, and nice job

Your ROM does not have init.d function, I think

Will this work without a custom rom, 4.04 boot unlocked with root and custom kernel?

Theoretically, it should work anywhere with an ARMv7 CPU and Android 2.3 or higher but this has been tested only on GNex varieties by me and my testers. Still as I wrote this for GNex kernels, this script of course can't change kernel features that this script does not have. Basically I think it should work but with limited functionality, to be sure just nandroid first before applying it. Still I do not support this in anyway so don't come crying to me later if anything happens and I won't answer question regarding this script and other devices further. I do believe it has some values for any device out there, but it needs ppl with some knowledge to tweak it.

Thanks for this, I will add this info in the first post.

There's no pic for this, it's for tweaking and enhance ROM usability, battery life and performance.
