Trying the new OTA version on WeaponG2x v24 now ;)

PS What is the OTA version is based off? LG's source, Faux's .0.0.5, .0.1.1? It cant be the same code as the CM kernel. You may want to seperate it into two threads for clarity

I was trying to avoid making a bunch of threads... lol... The OTA version is based on Faux's "FR" repo, which he updated with LG's updates, and fixed them. If it seems to cause too much confusion, I'll break up the thread.

I haven't tried the latest Weapon, still on 23 here. No reason it shouldn't work though.

Its totally up to you. Ill give you feedback a lil later after Ive had a lil while to run it. BTW, you mind adding a changelog? I know there isnt much yet, but it makes tracking changes easier.:) Thanks again!

EDIT: Noticed u havent added a splashscreen yet. You have any plans to include one? Any chance it can be "neutral" so I can boot at work and not get strange looks when a DRAGON bursts outta my phone lol:eek:

I'll add a changelog. Just forgot about it. lol.

I'm tossing splashscreen ideas around, it'll be dragon related though. Umm... put your phone screen down for 10sec when booting at work? :D

LMAO! Its not too big of deal, just more of a "professionalism" thing. I never minded having a LG based splash screen as you could always just have a crazy boot animation (which look cooler anyway, cause they're animated).

On a less happy note, have had two reboot in the last hour or so. Trying to pull a log, if I can. Anyone have any stability issues?

Try the latest... Fixed vibrate and put a missed patch back in. No stability issues so far since the fixed zcache.

Thanks man, fast fix! Will report again. Mind sharing your minfree settings? I've been fighting w. keeping ADW EX in RAM while having tight memfree settings so the system stays snappy (and PLEASE dont say use the SuperCharger script\hack, I hate that damn thing now).

EDIT: First impression, haptic is working again! Stress testing commencing.....

Right now I'm using Autokiller's "Optimum" preset with swap enabled with the settings in the script from the OP. I very rarely see ADW EX have to reload, even after running Firefox and some games.

I'll give that a sho and see how it goes. you also mentioned you disabled kernel tweaks, CFQ tweaks, and what else in advanced settings in AK?

Excellent, seems to be running quite well so far. Haptic works, device is OCed to 1.2Ghz via SetCPU, no profiles besides one for overheating and low battery, seems stable. Will continue playing and see if I find any hiccups. Did you change voltages at all? or stock?
Click to expand...

Thanks for the good reports. I'm just using the stock voltages. I have never seen much gain from undervolting.

Well, Ill be the first to thank you for assembling a stable OC kernel for OTA 2.3.3. Much appreciated. I will continue stress testing it throughout the day, but it seems like its pretty solid right now. :)

    APN Fix: The work here was done by cm_acree, I provided testing and reporting, nothing more. Thank him. :D I have noticed one issue testing this build, which could be my fault. Rebooting from the menu to recovery (I have clockwork installed) then rebooting from clockwork back to CM7.1 breaks data. Reboot from the power long-press menu, and it comes right up. But how often do we hit recovery? :D

    FOR OTHER DEVS: To fix APN, grab the boot.img and use it's ramdisk in your build. That was the only thing I did to my kernel build to get this result. See the bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...on Model Network Owner Summary Stars Priority

    First off, big thanks to Faux123. This is based on his repo with a few tweaks of my own. I'll be adding more as we go on. And of course, he's welcome to pull any patches he likes from my github. Morfic also deserves top billing as of v1.3. I added a lot of tweaks from his code in the latest version.


    Changes:

    Added zram compressed swap support. I'll attach a script to turn it on and one to see what its status is. It's not like the older ramzswap that requires a special tool, everything is done through sysfs now. Very nice.

    Added zcache compressed cache. This is a bigger win IMO, it compresses any compressible data in the cache. This means you can keep much more data in cache, which means you have to read it in from slow flash much less often.

    Tweaked the low memory killer to take swap space into account, but only some of it.... This prevents swap thrashing while the system tries to kill processes and free up ram/swap. I also suggest using something like AutoKiller to set the levels to the best performance for your workload. We all run different apps and such, and that can affect how these things work for each user. There is no setup that is going to be perfect for 100% of users. Speaking of AutoKiller, I have found the advanced tweaks to help a fair bit as well. Don't use the memory management one, it overides your settings for things like swappyness. And the IO Scheduler doesn't do anything as we aren't using cfq. Unless you turn on cfq...


    On Swap and compression:

    While badly configured swap can slow things down, it's far more complex than people think. It also frees up RAM that's not being used frequently for apps that are. So your system can more efficiently use the resources it has. While compression does use some CPU time, our dual core 1Ghz+ CPUs can compress/decompress REALLY fast. Far faster than reading from the flash storage. In theory, this can affect battery life, though I haven't seen any significant issues from it.

    Q: But we have 512M, that's a LOT!
    A: Well, kind of... Not all of it is accessible to the kernel for running apps. 128M for the GPU, some for the cameras, wifi, etc... In the end, a little less than 400M is available. Then you have to add in system overhead from the kernel itself, Android's OS processes, etc.. That is quite limiting, IMO, so using it more efficiently is important to me.

    Q: I don't like compression/swap.
    A: Then don't run this kernel. :p

    This might be a stupid question but I never really used these kernals before, I install this kernal after wipe cache and dalvic, fix permissions, boot up.
    Did all that but what about the scripts? do I have to do something with that?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    You don't need to use the script unless you want to use the extra swap thing. It works fine without it.

    Just a matter of misunderstanding

    Guys/gals, as a newb and someone who has worked in software for many years, here's my 2 cents as an outsider.

    I think this is just a matter of a slight misunderstanding.

    It's easy to lose the essence of a message in a faceless forum, with thousands of people chiming in, without context, body-language, or real-time discussion. Knee-jerk reactions here or on twitter are just an unfortunate result.

    In reality both faux123 and ttabbal have made invaluable contributions to code-base and G2x community here. There might be a slight difference in expectations on how credit should be given and how the bounty should be shared. Fine, the two fine developers can work that out among themselves. It's more a matter of personal styles than best practices.

    That said, reading some of the direct/indirect criticisms of other forum member on faux's kernel I can see why his temperature might have been raised when others were pointing at ttabbal's work to be "better" or more complete.

    This would of never happened if users were giving live feedback and the devs were in a room together discussing the issues.

    Let's just accept this unfortunate misunderstanding as a result of our virtual digital world and move on.

    Thanks bro. how do we run the script to turn on/check.
    Click to expand...

    Unzip the scripts.zip and use gscript or Script Manager to run them... you can also just run them in a shell if you prefer. Lots of options. They are to run on the phone, not your computer.
