I thought this might be a good place to ask and help those
( including myself ) to tweak the Build Prop and Kernel tweaks
using the great app Rom toolbox. And since Trial and error can sometimes spell disaster ( Brick ) I thought that by asking for already established safe but optimized settings it would be a big help. I am personally looking for faster performance and/or better battery life despite Running Blazer Rom 4.0 ( which I am very happy with...although it is my first Rom on my E4Gt ( sprint ) I am a newbie- But ambitious in learning without
bricking. Please post any optimized settings that will help anybody looking for same things. Thanks !!
Here is a good guide with explanations and codes.

YW.
Actually there are more sites and guides. Just google init.d tweaks or init.d scripts.
I like this particular one because of all explanations of what each line of code does.
Blazer has all these tweaks incorporated in the ROM already.

thanks & More for tweaks
Thanks- Yes- Blazer has a very nice list of tweaks- But It is my belief that there is always room for improvement- I dont know how much- But if not- there wouldnt be a Blazer 4.1 if there wasnt. Anyhow- I added the script magic of V6 Supercharger to enhance an already great Rom and Phone. ( My battery life still had some more improvement in my opinion...) Besides the other miscellaneous tweaks I felt could be added. But- I am no expert-
Best build.prop tweaks in my humble opinion are as follows
debug.hw.sf=1
This Renders GPU with UI by default
debug.performance.tuning=1
General performance enhancement
There are a bunch of others I have written down. I will add more when I get off from work tomorrow. I have numerious tweaks in my ics rom if anyone is curious. I will be releasing it very soon «Officially» B)

I love roms but I noticed that Cyanogen doesn't have very good controls for the headset accessory my phone came with. So is there a good stock from that has all the nice features but no bloatware?

Can someone point out how much improvement/smoothness linaro compiled roms provide over stock/regular compiled roms? Also are there any downside to using linaro compiled roms ? Also which is the best/try out worthy linaro compiled rom?
TIA
P.S. Comments from devs or someone into development would be really helpful.

Couldn't you just have searched for toolchain benchmarks, reading the comments on the dev section of the ROMs built with Linaro...

Not sure if there is even a difference, many have said it is just a placebo hence why all devs don't use it. When I have ran it, it seems that the phone runs smoother but who knows for sure.

I'm on the HTC Rezound, all of our AOSP roms use Linaro. I've run betas of the same rom without Linaro, and it's definitely smoother with Linaro. You notice this with the notification drawer pull down and launcher screen transitions.

There are many linaro built ROMs for the GN.
One guy ran all sorts of different tests on linaro and others. Results were all similar...

Okay.. Most of you people know who I am.. and if you know me you know I am not much of a kernel dev ... Regardless, I love AOSP but while running CM10.1, I felt I was missing some things that were more readily available for a Stock ROM.. Things such as (unofficial)Voodoo sound, Overclocking and Undervolting.. So I went ahead and forked CM's kernel and added a few needed things.
Notes:
Thie kernel is for AOSP only!
This kernel include's codeworkx's downgrade to mali r2p4 commit from CM's gerrit.. In this commit codeworkx specifically states that there is a memory leak. Now I will also say this.. This downgrade greatly improves the graphical glitches found in the android 4.2 ROMS, IE no more keyboard funkyness etc... I have yet to see this leak myself and think the trade-off is worth it. If this causes serious issues for people let me know.
Features:
Unofficial Voodoo sound driver (otherwise this has not been reviewed and approved by Supercurio)
OverClock up to 1.8 Ghz
CPU Undervolting
Downgrade to mali r2p4 which fixed graphic glitches
Downloads:

Is this compatible with Stweaks for tuning issues?
Is the voodoo like sound a port of "scooby do" code?

no this is not compatable with stweaks nor is is Scoobydoo sound.. It does work with the voodoo sound app though.. I will say this again.. This has not been tested nor approved by SuperCurio so he could very well block the download from the app store which is in his right to do. Regardless I am sure he will eventually release proper support for Voodoo in the near future and when he does I will add it.

This kernel works just fine by my testing and I would like to send my thanks over to you. All I care about is speed, fidelity, and battery life and I have only noticed an increase in each of those fields. Soon I will work with you on this and push some helpful commits!

Definitely can tell a difference in speed and fluidity with this kernel. Thanks for putting this out. No problems so far with the latest Paranoid Android ROM.
Loving this kernel...and haven't been able to use voodoo sound since the OG Epic....thanks for the contribution!

Loving this kernel but unfortunately I have seen the aforementioned memory leak. First time earlier today Tasker complained of low memory. Been running Tasker for a while and never have I had it complain until I flashed kernel. Second time was later today when I noticed I only had ~200 mb of ram free and hasn't used my phone in hours. I have a widget on homescreen with system stats so it's hard to miss. Liking the OC/UC ability and voodoo though. Thanks again.

Same, running with the latest CM nightly. My performance has been great and my battery life is even a little better thanks to under-volting. Development for this phone has really started to explode in 2013, very happy with my choice to buy a note 2. Nice work on this kernel!
Running Rootbox now.... Awesome performance! Thanks again!

Pacman is 4.1.2 and this kernel is for 4.2.1 this is a newer version and will probably not work on older 4.1 ROMs ....
If you like pacman try out root box its better imo ....

You should definitely root if you want all the extra customization/tweaks that are available now. I'm on the MOAR ROM. Best one I've been on and I've tried a lot. Battery life is great with stock or Ktoonsez kernel.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013463
definitely root. I ran freegs3 v3 for a while with the ktoonz 747 kernel. I had great battery life and the kernel made it very snappy and responsive. I was also able to undervolt a LOT, however it gave me a few issues here and there once I did that. (mostly screen issues, lines while swiping in a few heavier processing apps, with a reboot on occasion).
Now I'm experimenting with freegs3 v4 which is still a beta. Definitely going to be great....but right now it still has a few minor bugs.
