Kernels Thread

[adrynalyne]

1st kernel of the kernel thread is:

125/250/600/800/1000-stock voltage.
swap enabled.
NAND Prefetch enabled (for real this time).
wifi tethering enabled (for real this time).
tun support.

Like my other packages, install it like the ROM. If using sprecovery, please rename it to update.zip.

What exactly do 'Swap', 'NAND prefetch' and 'TUN' do, and how do we enable them?

Sorry for my ignorance. :/

They are already enabled, one of them as a module.

So, in short, without getting into the nitty gritty of it all, NAND Prefetch is a performance enhancer.
tun.ko is a driver needed for OpenVPN. So it adds another type of VPN support to the Droid.
swap support is kind of like it sounds, it supports a swap file/paritition, if you make one. I've not done this, and don't plan to, but I left it an option for those who may want to.

Awesome!

I keep hearing about the swap stuff (Apps2Sd and such) but it still seems really iffy, so I have held off. I wasn't sure if that was what you were referring to... but now I know.

Thanks for the explanation!

Apps2SD is a little, well ok ,a lot different. I've not been real keen of diving into that stuff because of the majority of us have class 2 SD cards...and I just don't know how they would fare performance wise. Call me lazy, I've just never checked.
