Q: What settings do you recommend? What governor? What IO Scheduler?
A: I recommend the default settings. This is why it there by default!
Q: My phone as rebooted on its own or is stuck on a reboot loop.
A: There are 3 reason why your phone may reboot on its own:
1. Your phone does not handle the Undervolt of the kernel
Flash the stock voltage add-on. (NO I will not make the kernel with stock voltage by default)
2. Your phone cannot handle the Overclock of the kernel
Use another kernel, Sorry...
3. There is a bug in the kernel and I should fix it:
Post the /proc/last_kmsg output as a ZIP in the thread. BUT, before posting make sure the last_kmsg contains the mention "Kernel panic", if not, don't bother posting this because your problem is related to point 1 or 2...A kernel Panic looks like this:
Code:[ 4079.850240] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception [ 4079.850307] Backtrace: [ 4079.850504] [] (dump_backtrace+0x0/0x10c) from [] (dump_stack+0x18/0x1c) [ 4079.850568] r7:00000005 r6:d6b3a600 r5:c0707990 r4:c0741068 [ 4079.850905] [] (dump_stack+0x0/0x1c) from [] (panic+0x7c/0x1a8) [ 4079.851022] [] (panic+0x0/0x1a8) from [] (die+0x1a4/0x1d8)
Q: Why did you remove feature X?
A: Because I think it sucks
* This is my personal opinion and I am allowed to have it
Q: Can you add feature X?
A: Depends. Before asking that question, check the changelog.
If it was removed, NO.
* If you have a really good reason why you think a feature should come back from the dead, you can defend your case by PM.
If it's a new feature that I may not know about, just let me know of the feature and I'll consider it.
If its a new shinny CPU governor or IO scheduler, NO the ones that will remain do the job perfectly...
Q: What does feature X do?
A: Please try Google or Wikipedia before asking this. The answer is at the tip of your finger tips
