[MIUI/CM KERNEL] SwiftExtreme-20112011 - FINAL

retareq · Nov 20, 2011

I think faja does not hate xda. He's mentioned he's looking for employment so he probably doesn't want to take requests or put the code out because its extra steps he can just avoid. Either way if his kernel is posted elsewhere I will find it, I don't need him to tell me which forum.

No offence fajarep, i use your kernel and all of that and thank you for it, but why start "dangling the carrot" with posts like this if you don't intend to post it on xda. This whole thanks/appriciation thing is getting boring now, do it because you want to, not for the thanks, you'll probably get more thanks that way anyway.

This.

fajarep, while you are on your pals forums, don't forget to pass by the CM and the MIUI forums and say thanks to all those guys who have done a really hard work putting the whole OS up (even if they share it freely without demands).

Thank you for your work, I am back to vorkKernel.

Fajarep: thank you once again for the Kernel and source. Me and pastime have been trying hard to isolate the bsod issue in cm7 Kernel and hence requested source. I have no intentions if stealing credit by releasing my own kernel with your changes copied.

I think there seems to be some confusion with regards to “stealing credit by releasing my own kernel with your changes copied” and some of the other comments I’ve seen over the past few days.

Firstly, the kernel source he used was provided under GPL. He made customizations, released his own version and provided the source code of all his changes. This was all perfectly legal, and in my mind (and based on the GPL) the way it should be done.

If I choose to take his source, make any number of changes to it (or none at all actually) and release my own version provided I make the source code available would also be legal.

Now what isn't legal is taking GPL source, making modifications to it, releasing it and not providing the source code either in a public repository or in a timely fashion directly to whoever requests it.

At this point it looks to be that nobody has broken any GPL rules, however recent “comments” might suggest this may not be the case for much longer - time will tell.

Now, in more of a personal comment I would ask how many times do you think he thanked LG or Linus Torvalds for there portions of the code? Both of which mind you are considerably more than his.

Its a shame that, at least on XDA his past few months of quality development will be most likely remembered by one or two unfortunate posts. However, this would probably be quickly forgotten should he decide to come back with the skills and determination he once had to release ground breaking kernels for the LG Optimus 2X.

So getting back ot...now that the only two miui/cm custom kernels(vork and swift) has stopped development which one is better you guys think? I don't care about benchmark and beating galaxy nexus or whatever.

I'm looking for battery life, stability and all heavy games working as they should

.

I'm using CM7 #204 no custom kernel atm, I could do with more battery. Swift was originally for MIUI right? Is it recommeded for CM7 as well?

Also with Swift you can't use any cpu oc/uv apps right, coz it can mess with fajareps tweaks?

Thanks.

fajarep · Nov 20, 2011

Thanks all for your opinion. Each man has his own opinion when they faced with something. My opinion has A, you might be B, C, D, etc... I apreciate that. Thanks for all your report and opinion..

Try it, you maybe get better battery life. You're not allowed to use any profile/function that works with screen state on/off, it may mess the kernel algoritm.. pimp my cpu/set cpu is allowed, as long you don't setup screen state profile.

to bad to see you leaving here

but well we all enjoyed your great kernels

and yeah we all love them

i really hope you change your mind about leaving

but hey we don't change your mind

so sleep about it and make your decision

i really hope to see you back here

and of course a huge red THANKS for you!

I would like to know the difference between the regular version and powersaving one. The op says powersaving doesnt have spare frequency at screen off. So that adds up to 10-20% less battery.......with screen off I am assuming.

So other than that is there any other difference ? I ask because I am okay with the life I get from screen off even with my old version. I want better performance with screen on and light use.

anyone please correct me if i am wrong

i thought powersave got 1 freq when the screen is off and that is 216 MHz
and the normal version got 216 and 256MHz

so this will only save more power when the screen is off
but it also can take a while till the screen turn on when you press the power button

the normal version will use more battery but will finish jobs faster when the screen is off and the backlight will be fast on

NOTE:
the backlight can be faster or slower according to the jobs the CPU is busy with
if it is doing nothing you won't even notice the delay
and when it is doing quite al lot sometimes in that case you can notice it but not always

hope i helped you and gave you the correct information

again anybody if i made a misstake please correct me

I use cm7 stock Kernel and my latest kang with tasker. My tasker shuts data on screen off when under 30% and no data under 10% battery. I get ~2 days with FM and intermittent wifi use.

Yes, that's correct, the different only that, by locking down cpu to low, instead of cpu trying to get high cpu freq when doing screen off task, it will be locked down to the lowest...

I usually listen to mp3 or audio books or shoutcast with screen off. So will the powersave behave normal with that or will I start seeing lags ? Guess thats what it comes down to, is 216 enough for mp3 and audio book while data and 3g is on ?

some reports that I receive, locking down to lowest seems doesn't effect when playing mp3 anymore, while, if you use older version swiftextreme, mp3s playing may get glitch. maybe one of my patch, i believe one of patch that related grouping task when doing background seems helping mp3 music playing.

my testing on CM music playing, even there is no glitch when doing screen state from off to on..

the result may vary between phone i think, depends on how is your phone handling low frequency and voltage...

retareq · Nov 21, 2011

Thanks faja. I will try with the normal version first and if it feels like its not enough then I'll try the powersave.

Dear Fajarep!

I understand your decide, but let me say something.

When i join the xda first i only look some help with PDA. This was a long time ago.

My first android mobile was a Motorola Milestone. I search for custom ROM's and i end up in here. One famous developer named Kabaldan decided to develop CM7 to the milestone, so i start using CM7 then.

Im not a java coder so i cant help directly the developement, so i try to help with other ways. Im very good at linux, bash scripting, etc. so i start refine the init scripts, find the way the ext3 to ext4 conversion in recovery mode, etc.

by the way the option in CM7 call settings: incoming call in background.
this was originally my idea and kabaldan developed, then committed to the official cm7 source. im not posting this information, this is the first time (just you see that i dont need that people know this)

at first i want that people push the thanks button, but soon i realize it is not the point.

XDA members with all of hard work provide me the best custom roms kernels etc.. and nobody need a money or credits for that. it is the smallest thing that i can do that i help this community without any credits. its a least i can do, because im not a rich person that donate every developer. sometimes i do but not to often...

this forum is not about the money or the credits, its because the community and the knowlendge sharing.
im not too good in english you see but i try to share my experience with the others.

all of people here thankfull your hard work!! we just dont think that the thanks button is so important. thats all

im sure you using something with this forum right now, and you are still developing your kernel, you post that in here a couple of post before. if you using this kernel, developed, why dont want to post your work in here? just because this thanks meter? are you serious?

im sure all of the lg optimus owner will push your thanks button if you wish. if you really want this..

im not here to force you that return here, im just sharing my story

best of luck whaterver is your choice!

I've lost interest in this thread.

It was good when everyone was getting involved for the right reasons. Now, we have a recalcitrant developer who seems to be punishing the community and who appears to be getting at least some pleasure out of doing it, and a lot of people paying tribute out of guilt or for who the hell knows why.

Thanks, fajarep. See you later.

I just feel bad for Fajarep. Building a community and nurturing it needs hard work, patience and maturity. I have seen a lot of open source projects come and go. Very few have held on and kept the momentum. GNU/Linux and GNU/Emacs are a few that I follow. GNU/Emacs amazes me when I see the code churn and the leaders behind it. This could have been a good ground for building a strong kernel with enthusiastic community. Well, as so many projects go to dust, this will suffer its own death. The only difference being the death blow being dealt by the creator himself and not the community. I just feel sad for Fajarep...

My last post on this thread unless development revives.

helldroid04 · Nov 21, 2011

can someone tell me what's the best kernel version to use?..:i'm currently on MIUI 1.11.11
TIA!
