Covenant Kernel RC3
This is an all new kernel for AOSP(JB or ICS) roms built from source.
I have decided to take over building an all new kernel for CM10 and other AOSP roms to reduce the work load from the greatergood.
But make no mistake about it, thegreatergood helped tremendously in getting me where i am on overclocking and voltage control.
So smack his thanks button as much as possible.
The covenant kernel is the first of many new releases from my newly formed team, The Covenant. Memebers consisting of- "thegreatergood",
"Bo0st", "terinfire", and myself. We are still recruiting members who can contribute in there own skilled way. So if you think you would like to, and can contribute to the Covenant team hit me or one of the other team members up.

Boots up well..
No Boot animation..
slightly longer boot time..(Or feels like, as its only Samsung from start to end)
wipes up cache during flash..
Usually not seen it while installing any kernel..takes a lot of time to rebuild..
Can you remove it.. ?
will OC and post benchmark results later..

Um yes.. boot animation runs.. this only works on CM10.. I tested it 25 times. Booted up in seconds and boot animation ran every time. This will not work on stock ICS based ROMs.

What do you mean by "wakelock enabled" in the op?

If I need to explain it you don't need to flash it.

Just a quick question! overclocked to 1400mhz? is that safe? I was having trouble with litekernel clocked to 1.28!! and heat issues while running google maps. and how does that affect the battery life?

Do you mean these wakelocks? If yes, I doubt that there is any Android release having such an option. If you disable wakelocks, almost nothing will work on the system.

I am not a noob at this I've been flashing roms for a long time and I've never seen the tweak wake lock enabled and I've only seen wake lock referred to as apps or other things keeping your phone awake and killing battery
I'm not trying to be rude i was just curious

Looks awesome! Is that 750mv at 1400Mhz? I cannot imagine that would be possible, the lowest voltage at the highest frequency. If it is, then the covenant really does work miracles!

I flashed CM10 a3 with for vivos kernel and 3D performance is really bad... Last time with xperiaICE v3.1, I got 2235 in quadrant 3D test with CWG kernel (i think)
So are there any kernel for gaming?

Thanks! I flashed the PRIVATE kernel and when i play temple run, it freezes and gave me a pop sound... I can't do anything so i pulled out the battery and restart... So i'm going to flash the MAXMEM kernel!

Actually though, use stock.

Stock kernel on CM10. When you wish to game simply overclock min frequency to 768 and max to 1401 and set governor to performance.
Why performance? Yr device may be very very hot

In JB its slightly better. Using ondemand is not quite good though. At the very least use interactive.

Be careful... the performance governor basically runs your CPU at MaxFreq all the time.
Except during Deep Sleeps.

Heh Due to personal reasons I rarely exceed 15-20 minutes gaming time. And I have a handy switch between my battery friendly profile and this gaming one.

I tried all and it seems ok... Now, just an experiment, i'm going to try PAC MAN JB ROM... Just to see if there are any perfomance difference...
I am using cm10 alpha 3 with forvivo v2 maxmem kernel.
subway surfers lags in my phone.
how can i disable CPU rendering ?
CPU rendering? What I know is Force GPU rendering and in order to disable that just go settings and under the Developer Option, scroll down till you see a check box and Force GPU Rendering then untick it... I thought its not ticked by default?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
Disable CPU rendering is a flashable file found in Android Developments. Its quite old but gold. Enable KSM at memory settings under Performance. Also enable 16bit transparency but disable surface dithering.

Maybe, mine does that occasionally from time to time. But I'm stock everything
Using same setup as you except on Fancy Kernel but when I was previously on Dummy kernel (same Dev) the phone ran very cool. I think you could try flashing Dummy Kernel and using Trickster Mod app to lower GPU clock to 304mhz and min CPU clock to 100+MHz?
edit: or change the governor as for me some governors cause my phone to run at my max clock speed non stop

I'm using CM9 rc2 + Honeyx Kernel and some tweaks and mods, with this combination I get 6358 points on antutu benchmark, one of the bigger scores for this phone. When I overclock the CPU to 1.8GHz and put Aggressive in Seeder, I'm enabled to run all games I want without lags.
This rom is awesome with pics too.

You did the test with antutu at 1.8 GHz? And which tweaks and mods are you using? And your phone is often Hot or not?

The same for me. That´s also the reason why I finally created the 7up kernel for RC2. The only reason I moved to CM9 final was because many people requested a 3.0.x 7up kernel for it. The only advantage the final is having is MTP and OTG but well. I´m not using OTG and MTP is still sometimes causing troubles. Therefore I still am using mass storage mode in CM9 final.

Tweak is of optimization. Tweak can means Overclock, Debloat, RAM optimization, etc
On cm11 tweak (Overclock) is optional because not everyone need high-speed CPU. but Ram optimization in needed by me.

For overclock just flash one of the kernel availabe for CM11 (k2wl's Evolution kernel or xenon92's Nebula kernel)
then press the build number in "about phone" 7-10 times (im forgot). The performance setting will appear in settings menu (not "about phone"). Grant superuser if asked. then change the governor or cpu clock. JUST, dont overclock your cpu too high because its only drain your battery quickly and shorten the CPU life
