Be patient. New kernel is coming. :)
I know that v2.0 (keep in mind its still for testing) is not on the level of 1.4.
All the patches / fixes / improovment must be implemented again (if they don't cause any problem).
That why I started new.

I also understand that some "problems" are important to some of you and its hard for you to wait. But nobody wants a fast kernel that drains the battery.

For the moment:
If you can't wait, please use the old kernel.
If you live (at the moment) without all patches, ... and you want to help, take the testing v2.0.1

I can create a version which has lots of improvements in it again.
If you tell me cpufreq is realy working fine again I could upload it for you.

about vsync:
The v2.0.x versions are compiled with vsync on.
Programs can override that (you know that from windows games). Neocore did that. With vsyncOn I got 71fps.
There is also something inside the code, which I understand like you can toggle.
Can anyone confirm that?

If thats true and I don't fail about that, my opinion is that vsync should be on and apps has to decide to override it with fault.

It seems like "/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/*/read_ahead_kb" set to 1024 comparing to the default 128..maybe you could try to go back to default value..and i guess this is not vsync-on, it still stutters. And lulzactive is still always on the max freq..:)

Btw: white noise is always present, when waking up the phone..

You mean a lower value (default 128) will solve that problem?
How can I reproduce that problem to test?

Other governors are working fine?
I am still testing lulzactive.
Will try if I can do something about, but if I can't it will be removed.

white noise:
There are two things which I can try.
I will also take a look at the changes (no many left) since minimal testing version.

Edit: My v2.0.2 testing version feels realy fast. :D
Will now test including TS driver as module.

Testing sdcard speed? And i guess it's only lulzactive, lionheart is working well:D using it right now..

Edit: just flash back to roq kernel, and "/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/*/read_ahead_kb" are much higher! 4096 and some are 4?..:confused::confused:

its just sd card speed cache, it doesnt seem to do that much of a difference, but 4096 is too high 1024 is best for our phone, dont earlier from tests and using scripts.
So really its last priority lol.

Will test the cpu freqs, and overall stability

Please test about the cpufreq issue.
I think that is the most important.

Camera flicker should also be gone (please test).

As I told if cpufreq is stable, I will create version as normal.

And yes, vsync is on. (will also create the off version later)

Did anybody here now if it is a problem to use touchscreendriver as module?
Just tested the cpufreq, performance governor works, the max freq is set, but conservative, lionheart do not work, its always doesnt go higher then one slot below the max frequency.
Maybe something in 3.0 is simply incompatible, as remember with a kernel update come driver updates, and some code you cant backport =(

test with setcpu or rom toolbox. Change the frequecncy and governor withing CM setttings and then go to either of the programs and touch the screen a lot and scroll around that normally makes it go to 100% cpu, for me it always gets stuck on slot underneath, no matter what frequency i choose.

Thanks for your help.
I tried to reproduce this way:
I have selected conservative / lionheart / ... inside CM setting.
After that I srolled, ... a lot.
Then I called setCPU. Shows me 480MHz.
Now I have touch the screen for ~5sec. -> Max freq
After release freq got back to my min freq (480Mhz).
Then I touched the screen and mooved my finger. -> Max freq
After release freq got back to my min freq (480Mhz).

I used SetCpu 2.2.4. Also tested with Christian Göllners Bemark & Tuning.

For me the only governor that is always at max freq is lulzactive.
I have found an update for that governor, which I hope will solve that.

In the past there where lot of discussions about the min freq.
The result:
Use 480Mhz as min freq, without loosing batterylife. (320Mhz should also work)
Lower min freq will make the system less responsive.

Which rom did you use?

Have you fix the sdcard issue now? Hope so!! Btw Im really loving this kernel's graphics driver, it's so clear..:D
Waiting for it!!:D

lulzative v2 tested:
Now we can use the app, but is not working correctly.
Stucks at min (if you came from screenoff) or max (if you came from other governor and max freq).

I will remove until I found a solution.

sdcard:
Lots of patches from 1.4 are back again (in my test version).
Havn't tried if its fine.

I you want i have time to test!..:pand btw there's somethings wrong with your script.. and also the system/etc/file(i forgot what it is) is not related from your kernel..

ok..when i was using franco kernel v4 there is no white noise during turning the phone on, maybe you could look on it(franco's build)..

    Hello and welcome

    candied(Ice) (2.6.35):
    This kernel is created for the LGE p500 familie by using the official cyanogen kernel for LGE msm7x27(T) as base.
    Since I started my work there are lots of modifications implemented, for example:
    • kernel source is updated (2.6.35.10 -> 2.6.35.13 -> 2.6.35.14)
    • back ported driver from later kernel sources (2.6.36 and 3.x)
    • improved battery life
    • changes to improve stability and performance
    • modules compiled into kernel: cifs, tun, advanced routing, fuse, ppp
    candiedIce V3 (3.0.8) (Alpha):
    This kernel is based of 3.0.31 kernel by team androidarmv6 for the LGE p500 famile. It's still a very early version.
    As most of you know, I'm a member of team androidarmv6. So maybe you ask why do you create a second version of it?
    Easy answer:
    - At the moment for testing commits before pushing to the team kernel.
    - In the future I maybe will add code that won't be part of the team kernel


    Warning
    I'm not responsible if you brick your device by heavy OC, flashing ... :angel:
    Using using very high frequencies (> 729Mhz) is dangerous and can melt your phone main board!

    Attention: Before flashing this kernel
    Using the correct kernel version is important. That means:
    candied-kernel (2.6.35): only use with gingerbread android (2.3)
    candiedIce-kernel (2.6.35): only use with ICS/JB android (4.x)
    candiedIce-kernel V3 (3.0.31): only use with ICS/JB android (4.x) -> keep in mind its alpha release and at the moment only for testing

    Older android versions (2.2 and older) are not compatible.
    The 2.6.35.14 kernel is based on cyanogen kernel. If you have problems with other roms than cyanogen (or cyanogen based), this kernel is maybe not 100% compatible with your rom.


    The latest cm7 nightly builds (20121104 nightly or later) are having problems with the updated display driver in my kernel. You will get a green screen, so you can't use your phone. To get cm7 working again with my kernel, replace the gpu libs with newer ones (see below). Please report if later nighly's will work again, without replacing the gpu libs. Thanks.


    Howto use the latest kernel(s) with stock rom (or custom roms based on it)(thanks to FitAmp for his tutorial and tachtunganh for his idea)
    tachtunganh idea was to upgrade the gpu (adreno) libs to newer ones.
    Here is what FitAmp has done to exchange the libs.

    Which kernel version should I choose?
    vsyncOff
    If you always want the highest possible frame rate, you should take this one.
    (Disadvantage tearing)

    vsync
    No tearing, constant frame rate (60fps)
    If the frame rate (60fps) isn't possible, the fps is divided by two (30fps -> 15fps and so on)​
    What are meanings of the used abbreviations?
    vsync = vsync enabled
    vsyncOff = vsync disabled
    default = default touchsreen driver
    cv = caveman's touchsreen driver
    ta = thachtunganh's touchsreen driver
    roqu = roqu's touchscreen driver
    xz = XZ compression
    When will you release a new version?
    New versions are released if changes are implemented, tested and if I think its good enough to be released.
    Successful implemented changes of an unreleased version can be found i my changelog (post 2).​
    Will this kernel work with rom xyz?
    This kernel is based on cyanogen kernel. If the ROM you use is cyanogen 7 or based on it there should be no problems.
    I guess it should work with every gb rom, but there is no guarantee.

    If you use a gingerbread ROM which is not based on cyanogen, feel free to test yourself (create a backup, flash kernel and test it) and share your result with us.
    How do I install the kernel?

    • Reboot to Recovery
    • Choose: install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard
    • Select the kernel zip file
    • wipe cache and dalvik cache (not a must but I recommend)
    • Reboot (if kernel is successful installed)
    Could you include ...?
    Tell me what you like to see and if possible the sources.
    I will take a look at and decide if it can be included. (and if I want to :p)
    I found an error. / I have a problem. What can I do?
    Post your problem. I (and maybe someone else) will check and try to reproduce.
    If you are using my kernels on other ROMs than cyanogen, please keep in mind that your ROM is maybe incompatible with this kernel.​

    I think compiling a Kernel was easy all Time.
    Getting as good as lupo, Franco, ... is the hard thing. But starting to work on kernel and getting it better is the only way how to learn.
    Sharing the work with other and getting feedback is also important to learn.
    At the moment I am learning to understand how the kernel works. Than I can find out what can be improoved.
