It ships with the Motorola Memutils, Kernel Mode NEON, Linaro power efficient work queues, fast LCD, lowered vibration, fast charge, fsync, Flar2’s wake gestures, faux sound control, overclock/undervolt, and all the IO governors one could ask for. It also ships with CPUQuiet and Input Mediator from Maxwen, which supposedly is better for battery and smoothness than Qualcomm/HTC stock settings, but it’s probably up for debate.
Beyond the rich feature set, the standard warnings apply: AOSP only (if you don’t know if you’re on AOSP you’re probably no); make a nandroid backup or have a good flashable kernel laying around in case of lockups or strangeness; and beware strange farm animals that ask if they can make a call using your phone.
The kernel’s only been out a couple of days, so there’s not a lot of reports about what it does and does not work on in the development thread. If it works or doesn’t for your ROM, drop us a note here.
