SwiftExtreme Kernel is great! - LG Optimus 2x

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325183
I have flashed the Kernel the day before yesterday, and got my battery charged to 100%, then un-plugged my charger.
About 34 hours after unplug the charger, with daily normal usage(several phone calls, some reading on web), there are still 38% power remain.

I would like to see a battery usage screenshot showing the "Display" use

Which app can I install for screen capturing?

use the battery monitor widget pro, and you can save your bat history

If you hit power button and home at same time it should screenshot. Or just post screen on hours

Just found the "down +home" can do screen cap in MIUI. Here is the screen cap.

Hi, I tried this kernel with CyanogenMod nightly 195, and I found the phone to be laggy as hell. Which ROM were you using?
Thanks. Anil

I have this kernel (older version with owains tweak pack) on miui and my experience has been just wonderful. Excellent standby time, haven't felt my phone heat up even once, no bsod's. I found cm7 to be very laggy in the first place so I moved to miui and boy am I glad. On cm it felt like every new flash it got slower and I was worried it might break. On miui things are so simple, just install miui, reboot and install tweak pack(it includes kernel older version) and your done. Just two steps. If you guys like this kernel please add your feedback to the kernel's page here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325183

i have this kernel on my cm7 (the nightly from today) clocked at 1.5 GHz and i get
#Quadrant Standart:
1st try: 3701 pts
2nd try: 4144 pts
3rd try: 4644 pts
4th try: 4639 pts
#AnTuTu Benchmark v2.4.2:
1st try: 7464 pts
2nd try: 7524 pts
After that i have restarted my phone, because it was getting really hot..
#Smartbench 2011 :
1st try: Failed! (Invalid results - at least one of the test dind't execute throug completely. Please try again.)
2nd test: Failed! (same as above)
3rd test: Failed! (again)
So i think its a very fast kernel !
Before this one, i have used the vorkkernel.. and this has got many bugs with 1.5ghz (e-peen), but this kernel (swiftextreme) is just Great !

Hi, I have no issues with CM7. The only reason I was interested in a different kernel was to see if I could get better battery life.
No matter, I will stick with CM7 & the kernel they provide. I found MIUI to be very beautiful, and very well thought out. But, it is an ANDROID version of Apple's iOS' look and feel, plus they imitate the iOS way of doing things.
Have fun. Anil

If you love cm7 then you should know this kernel works for both miui and cm7. Just use it already, its a known fact that this kernel is the shiznit.

Hi, I have used it and found it to be laggy as "shiznit". In fact I tried it again last night, the low overclock version and my phone failed to boot.
You carry on though. Anil

Well you should post your findings in the kernel thread here. How else are we going to find what needs fixing ? I am on an optimus 2x and and the kernel is working almost 100% for me. If I had to guess I would say its because I'm on miui. I have a friend with an o2x with the kernel on cm7 and his experience is also not satisfactory.
I used to love cm7 and think miui is the ios look alike but after using it for few weeks I can tell you its not. I think most people are still thinking of the old miui with iphone icons(things have changed). I will not go deeper into that discussion because this is the page for kernel discussion. We are all entitled to enjoy the kernels and roms we like, but if you are experiencing issues the least you can do is alert the dev in the appropriate page. Please don't take it personally but there are many many cm7 users in the swift kernel thread who have posted their experiences and its opposite of what you are saying.

Hi, I have posted my findings here. I find it very laggy. It also failed to boot. There you go two findings.
Why would I take your opinion personally? I'm glad many others have had no issues. Do you only want to hear from users with positive experiences?
If you can make some suggestions as to how best to provide technical feedback then please let me know, and I will be more than happy to do so.

Yes its not perfect. If it was development would stop right ?
I wanted to make sure I didn't come off as offensive, you will be surprised how many cm7 fanatics are out there who will start yelling the moment they hear miui. I didn't want to sound like im promoting miui but rather the kernel powering it. If you check the last few posts you will see there have been an increase in cm7 users of the kernel and they are reporting good results on the new nightlies.
I would like to point out that with miui I have not upgraded anything in over a month and its still going smooth. I see so many cm7 users with bsod and no boots and bootloops and so on with almost every version that came out they have issues whereas the miui users have barely said anything. I guess coz its works for us ?
I think the best way is to post in the kernel thread in the development area. The developer is regular there so if you have anything at all to add, features you want or fixes to current version etc. please post there. The dev is very friendly and him or someone cm7 user will help you find your match.
Once again this is the original thread please post your results and comments here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325183

Savaged-Zen ROM
RC5 Test Renditions
http://savaged-zen.com​
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. The crespo build of the Savaged-Zen ROM is currently under testing stages. EXPECT THINGS TO BE BUGGY! If you have issues, please submit issues to the link below.
2. For the TESTING STAGE, the ROM currently includes the latest kernel from CyanogenMOD. We are working on a Savaged-Zen kernel specifically for the crespo and crespo4g. Please be patient while the other developers on our team get those loose ends tied up
3. Once the crespo build is STABLE, this thread will be renamed and reworked to include hosting from our official mirrors. In the meantime, please feel free to contribute by testing or donating. Thank you!
4. I plan on including the Matr1x kernel by mathkid95 with the Savaged-Zen Crespo Series ROMs until we have a Savaged-Zen kernel specific for these devices.
Now that that's done, enjoy the show!
Thank you:
Anyone who has ever submitted code to AOSP development. Without you, projects like these would not be possible. (CyanogenMod, Evervolv, SalvageMod, etc)
Our dedicated Crespo testers:
For helping us set up the repo and countless other reasons: preludedrew
If I forgot anyone for ANY reason, please kindly PM me and I will correct as needed! No need for flame wars.
Savaged-Zen ROM is an AOSP project based on Google's AOSP Gingerbread (Android 2.3.4). We have incorporated some popular tweaks from other AOSP ROMs, as well as added a bunch of our own.
The main focus on this, it to make a lightweight. FAST ROM that is specifically designed to work perfectly with our Kernel. Right now, we are tweaking the ROM and adding our own custom features that you won't find anywhere else.

Whoaa new ROM.
Kee pup a good work guyz.
Inputs from me and a bit little story. I really need a Battery saver ROM. I'm really tired of charging my battery and wait for 4 hours to reach 97% ( max ). And empty my batre within 10 hours with regular use.
And also eating up my 30% battery while I'm sleeping for 8 hours.
And also will need BLN and Vodoo support kernel as default.
Thanks before, I know I'm asking too much without contributing and donating to this project.
But I'm considering to make donation , if u can make incredble rom and battery saver.
Thx before.

I can't speak for the nexus as I do not own one, but battery life on the Evo is really good with our ROM.
I am going to switch kernels from the CM kernel to the Matr1x kernel which includes support for what you mentioned.
The ROM is pretty buggy right now, but that will be worked on as the week progresses. The 4G progressed very quickly into a stable ROM.

wondering if sim toolkit working in this rom
(its in google issues page and so far there are no ROMs able to get it to work but who knows the zen did )
I use to run savage on my evo way back when before GB even officially came out. I think he was the 2nd or 3rd GB rom available at the time. He builds descent roms, glad to have him in this vicinity
how is the development going ? i experience force close every time i try to use CPU setting and also lagging everywhere... Hope it wil get fixed soon... my hand itch to try new ROM as a daily ROM..

Whether or not an overclocked device is stable doesn't depend on a random number (like 807) but rather on the hardware – in our case the build quality of the CPU – itself. I for example can't even overclock to 7xx without having my device crash after a few seconds (a minute at best).

Hehevyeah don't worry dude I was a newbie at first too
So this is how it works
When u open tb, go to batch and press backup apps
Then when u have a new rom just install tb again and press batch and restore user apps with data
Good luck

The msm7k in our device was designed and manufactured to run at 600MHz. As far as my experience goes suggesting to overclock isn't really a good thing to do, because, as I said, whether your device is capable of running at a certain speed is dependent on the chipset itself.
I got various reports of users telling me that their device reboots as soon as they open a complex website and they never mentioned they overclocked it. Imagine how much fun debugging was (I literally scratched my head over this issue) until I finally found out it was their fault, not a bug in the JS engine.

Well, the perceived speed of the launcher doesn't make the device faster at all. Your games won't run smoother because you install a different launcher.
You claim that the overall device speed is faster (at least that's how I understood it) and I was simply curious on what facts you might base your statement.
You know, I'm always open to improvements in CM. Apparently this one won't make it in.

It's really a good rom.
But I'm facing a problem. The internal SD Card writing speed is only about 4MB/S
Is there anyone else facing this problem?
Will changing the default kernel help solving this?
Thanks
IDK but have you downloaded semaphore manager apk to ramp it up. Default is 512K but you can bump it up to 2048K within the app.
what aint working here?? Im sorry i ask but its important for me as i use this as a daily phone..
I tried this rom out shortly - I love PAC but I needed the extra ram. It was snappy, but it had some pretty big problems. First off I was getting battery drain and CPU maxing out when GPS was on, unlike Pac. Secondly (worst of all, which made me have to flash back), I kept finding the phone completely dead. I kept checking my BatteryStats and everything was more or less OK, so I was confused. Then on a day when I was using my phone more, I caught it rebooting into recovery mode randomly, with the screen on the whole time, so that must have been what was going on. It happened often enough that it was too unreliable for me to continue using. Maybe I'll try the stable when it's out, because it was pretty smooth. Please work on these two issues and you'll have a great rom!
So thanks for the completely useless post give me damn logs. Anyways you guys can consider this device EoL. I have 0 intentions to update sgs1 to 4.4

If you don't want to maintain the sgs1 phones would you have any objections to unofficial builds?

I never understood all the whining & complaining ... esp. when you consider 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 ... the evolution to "butter" smoothness on these ancient phones has been spectacular. SB & PRB are at the forefront of that. I know people (with other phone types) who don't even get to use anything past Gingerbread (due to stability and lack of official support). Just look at all the roms left for dead on CM's nightly page.
Thanks to the tremendous efforts of PRB, jrongi1, DT, FE, stratosk, and others (inc. their testers) ... it's been an absolute pleasure to continue using this phone. Definitely showing its age spec-wise, but the latest 4.3 builds have been silky silky smooth. SB 4.3 v1.4 was great for me, and I just noticed the new weekly was posted.
So, damn ... just wanted to say "THANK YOU" to PRB for all the work put into maintaining this device. Whether EoL happens or not for SB's Vibrant fate, I'm stoked that at least jrongi1 is willing to carry the flag. PRB, man, seriously, thanks brother for all you do. Ignore the whiners 'cuz that stuff is unfortunately inevitable in this massive XDA expanse.
Rom problem it's effing random and logs don't show much...

I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the kernel or not but I've been getting quite a few soft (dirty) reboots. (I'm using GearKernel 1.0.9v2sv, by the way.) When I perform any action relating to file management (installing/uninstalling APKs, moving apps to SD card, enabling USB mass storage, etc.) it goes into a soft reboot. It might be because of the scheduler (sioplus) GearKernel might be using or that I'm overclocking up to 1200 MHz. I'm asking if this might be an issue with the ROM itself or if it occurs on any other ROM. I'll pull you a logcat when I experiment a bit more ...

I haven't had much luck with GearKernel on Slim. The one freak time I was able to use it (without losing IMEI) was flashing 1.0.8sv right after restoring an SB 7.8 nandroid. It was actually the smoothest kernel I've used at stock speeds (ondemand, sioplus) ... but terribly unstable at 1200-1400 Mhz. When OC'd, the phone would inevitably soft reboot, as you mentioned. Mackay Kernel 0.335 was more stable on SB 7.8 (than GearKernel), and it would allow gaming at 1400 MHz. However, Mackay also would eventually soft reboot at 1200-1400 MHz (tho it lasted a bit longer than GearKernel) ... and then would end up losing IMEI at random times. Even Semaphore would soft reboot at 1200 Live OC, though it would last much longer than either GearKernel of Mackay. Mackay's 1400 MHz is the fastest I've ever experienced on my Vibe ... but the fun only lasts until the next soft reboot. Lol. :crying:
I've tried GearKernel 1.0.9v2sv on 7.8, 8.0, and 4.3 v1.4 ... but I'd lose IMEI/APN/Baseband every fricken time I flashed that thing. No method would ever bring the damn thing back - ie. pull SIM / reboot / reinsert SIM, wipe init.d, and even manually restoring a backed up efs folder.
I've got a smooth 4.3 v1.6 running now, so I'm not even gonna touch it. Semaphore runs very smooth on 1.6. Maybe bring up the issue in Alberto's thread. He may have more insight for you. Good luck.

It soft rebooted because your device can't handle that high of an oc. For example some people can not over clock at all some can hit 1.2ghz a few can hit 1.4-1.7

I don't appreciate the hostile reply. The rom was unstable enough that I just flashed back before I got any logs, and I figured any issue that severe would have already cropped up. I hope I didn't seem ungrateful about your work, just stating the fact, that right now for me it was too unstable to run. I understand that it's a nightly, and I was just testing it out.
Anyway, it's a moot point because it sounds like you're not going to maintain it anyway, so I'm not sure why you'd even be asking for logs.
Fact? Fact is runs fine on my captivate, or as fine as it can on it. Without logs it's just wasting keystrokes. I asked for logs because I'm still maintaining it. I said I won't be for next aosp version. Guys it's impossible to say how a rom/kernel set ups react on each separate device so if crap breaks and you actually want to help the community provide explicit instructions how to reproduce any problem with logs and screenshots if applicable. Else man don't bother.

@prbassplayer thank you for your hard work on maintaining our phone and keeping it alive for so long. I am sad to hear that you won't be maintaining it for the next major update. Is that a for sure thing, or is it just a likely thing depending on how our phone continues to run?

Its already lagfest (yes it is use a newer phone and you will see the difference), doubt a new aosp version will help. And time man. I'm maintaining 3 SGS1 devices, Skyrocket, Hercules, 3 t0lte devices and I spend a lot of time working on mako kernel as its the device I actually own and use as dd.
BrianXP7 said:
So, the latest weekly build was a huge improvement over the first. No more soft reboots! (It could be GearKernel's problem. I'm not so sure.) Everything works great and performance is balanced quite nicely. The only issue I have is the back button often doesn't quit a running app but it works with going back a "page". The other capacitive keys are fine, though. I usually resort to using the Home button to quit instead.

Get the semaphore manager from play store as slim uses the kernel it can help with some of the lag. But as prb said the Vibrant is not a speedy device as much as I use my N4 it can seem like forever doing things on the Vibrant.

Benefits of Omni rom

hi guys i was just wondering if anyone could explain the benefits of Omni Rom?
I have switched continuously between stock and Omni, however i seem to always return to stock mainly because of the screen of death issue and blue screen issues that Omni has.
However, it would be nice to know what benefits Omni has and why i have that urge to always want to try Omni again!
Don't

I used for about a week, and i needed to open my mobile many times to unplug then replug the battery again to make my mobile come back to life, you will see many sudden restarts, and you will see many blue screens.

I think it is simply because either you love flashing and testing new things out or you love the simplicity and AOSP feel. I know I love it. Its also the fact that you've on the latest android version with is super "light" when compared to others. Its very snappy and can multitask like a bull compared to even the 4.3, and no massive themeing or bloatware. And not to forget the multitude of features and customizations you get with the ROM. I personally love the Active Display and I don't know how I lived without it. Anyway if you have the urge, like me, to switch between ROM, CWM backups are the best because setting up a ROM from the beginning is a pain. Another such person is moly82! He too flashes every release!

Haha WHAT? That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard. Yes you do see blue screens, but mostly one per day. And even then the phone reboots in under a minute and is back to normal as if nothing happened. Please re-flash and re-evaluate.

Excuse me!!
Are you serious??
Is it OK for you to have reboots more than five times a day and this is only for the daily use??!! I did not even try demanding games.
And do you know anything about the need to remove your (non-removable) battery and re-plug it??
Please, if you think my opinion is ridiculous, then give that rom a try, and then give me your own opinion.
I wonder how can you consider your mobile reliable anymore if it will reboot even during playing the silliest and tiniest games ever there.
After all, this is my opinion which you may not agree with, but you are supposed to respect.

Yes. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Respect there. But not to mislead others, you just gave a very uniquely bad experience. Everyone else loves this ROM. I have been on it since the first week of its release. There are loads of other Omni users who will agree with me.
As for the battery removal, i cannot remove mine. Its an XT. Reboots do not occur five times a day, mostly twice! At least not for me. I listen to music constantly with JetAudio which is a heavy app, use Whatsapp all the time, browse with Chrome at least twice a day and many other things. I do not play games though... so I can't say anything about that.
Thank you for the concern guys but you still haven't answered my question what are the benefits of omni against stock???

Advantages: incredibly fast in relation with stock, immersive mode (love it), personalisation, great support, less 3G consumption, latest android version,boot in 27s, and the battery, this is my best, a lot of free RAM(400MB with 35 apps installed by me).

I have had Omnirom since first tilals build and it was amazing. Since 4.4.2 it becomes more unstable and I sometimes have had more than one reboot. Using my phone as drivers log I really can't use random reboots. The sound is very low, a workaround makes it loud and whistle.
Now I am an stock and yes, it isn't the stable it should be, but there seems to be an update shortly. But stock rom is also very fast, fast enough I guess. A benefit stock rom has is usb otg, a feature I need, too and don't have with OmniRom or Cyanogen Rom.

Not true. I got 3 to 5 blue screens a day on omni. A few times a day my Xperia got stuck on a black screen. For both i had to do a hard reboot (power + volume).
The battery was very bad to for me. It was empty in 10 to 12 hours with 2 hours screen time. With 4.3 i get a day with the same screen on time. Also the camera on stock is a lot better
As long as Sony haven't released the source it's not gonna get much better.
Don't get me wrong. I normally prefer aosp above a stock rom. But this time 4.3 is a lot better.

Yes,the OTG and the HDMI don't work,but that are features that not all the people use, this is the best of ROMs, you can choose your best option depending of your needs.
Did you try the nighlties with the new branches?
I have tested stock and Omni feels faster,in my opinion.

Yes I have tested some homebuilds and after the new branches comes back to the nightlies I also have flashed these builds.
You are right, OmniRom feels faster than stock rom but I can't use the random reboots. I need the drivers log and every reboot is a showstopper I really don't need. A rom should be fast, yes, but it must be stable at all.
I have to say, there is nothing I really miss with stock rom, on the contrary.

Well I think there is no point in arguing about the blue screens because it must certainly depend on the amount usage and kind of usage. As for the battery life, I can get much better battery life.. about 2.5 hours screen time and can last overnight. It would be <14% though.

For modders Only bug rooms STOP

I know that build a rom it's not that easy, and make it stable and fully working it's even harder. I also know that drivers and blobs are closed-source, so it's hard to make a device fully working.
But I wanna give some advice, because who want to mod his phone finds about 30/40 roms all unstable and full of bugs.
In my opinion, it's useless to release a rom if it isn't finished, wifi or bluetooth doesn't work, apps force-close, phone reboots randomly or maybe drinks the battery in 2 hours.
Lags in games, the home screen lags with 3/4 widgets. Maybe after a clean install the rom performs well but then you discover that it's not so good.
Let's not forget also that despite the roms are not finished, many times they aren't update any more to solve the bugs, or they are updated but the bugs remain.
I don't mean that ALL the roms have ALL the bugs, but each rom has at least two of those problems.
Some people may say that there are hardware limits to justify the bugs. Or maybe that the battery has to be changed. But those are only excuses considering that on three pages of roms, ONLY one performs well.
I have always been told “you have to change the battery”, or “the phone has got few ram” to justify the bugs. But why with the FluidRom gType (an Italian rom) I manage 24 hours with a normal usage (mobile data always on, wifi, background apps, little playing with games, several calls, facebook and whatsapp)? No lags in games, home and browser. So I assume that “change the battery” and “we have few ram” are only excuses.
If you release a rom only to show that you are able to develop something but then it’s full of bugs, stop. Don’t release it. Or release it when it performs really well.
The 4X it’s a 2012 flagship phone, but the roms are badly developed. So let’s not blame the hardware.
Some people may say “who forces you to change rom?” People try new roms because modders promise improvements.
Maybe this topic will be closed to restrict freedom of speech. But mine are only suggestions.

Wow ! Never thought I'd read something like this on the 4X forum !
You're so wrong. So so wrong !
Do you realize that when a dev releases a ROM he does this on his time and (most of the time) he doesn't expect anything in return.
Have you ever tried to build a ROM from source ? To compile ? To fix bugs ? To spend hours developing ? I really doubt since you don't realize what this is and the time it takes.
Moreover, our device is "special". The last official update we had was 4.1.2 and thanks to the dev you criticized we are now at 4.4.2 !!! I'm not sure you realized the work of these devs.
Also you say that we don't have any stable ROM but you're wrong ! For me, "stable" means that you can use the ROM daily and profit of all basic and important features of the ROM therefore there ARE stable ROMs ! Since I'm in charge of Beanstalk 4.4.2 I won't give any name but for having personally tried many customs ROMs I can say that we do have stable ROMs.
Everybody has its opinion but man... You're wrong and some devs may understand your post as an offence.

We should change abit this letter and sent it to the LG dev-update department so they can ask @Demetris @laufer @adam @Ectoplasma @JoinTheRealms @SnXo (and many other talented and good people) for help next time they decide to push or even make any software for any LG phone.I know.this guyment to say official software not custom one so i am just correcting his type mistake.

whoa, easy there, mate...
First of all, I haven't seen an unstable ROM on our phones up till now. I am personally using CM (unofficial) and SlimKat as my daily drivers, and both are rock stable. The only bugs I have personally encountered are the camera (which is extremely hard to properly fix) and the broken reboot into recovery on Slim. And that's it.
All ROMs you find on xda are made for free, you don't need to pay anything, which means you also can't demand anything. Bringing a ROM to a device can take several hours (disregarding the time the pure download of the sourcecode takes), as every ROM needs its special treatment.
Furthermore, do you have any idea how long the pure compile process takes? On my new machine (which I upgraded for development only) needs ~75min for a clean build. Before that, my lappy was working over 8 hours for a clean build...
Saying we devs wouldn't maintain our ROMs isn't really nice, nor what XDA stands for. We do our best to provide you with the best/fully functional stuff, but there are things we can't fix/improve simply because we don't experience these issues. As an example, I am debugging my kernel ATM, and @FunkyRasta and I both run the kernel, however, FunkyRasta is experiencing lags, that I never experienced. So without his reports, I wouldn't even know about that until someone else might encounter it after the release.
@Serial67, nobody forces you to use "unstable" ROMs, but please don't just complain, but rather give some helpful feedback (logs) to help solve the issues. If you're not willing to provide such info (you don't have to), please don't complain.
