Since I got my o2x i have been customing and upgrading trying to find its happiness and i can honestly say I have!!! My o2x is currently whizzing around like its on an overdoze of speed. I am a heavy user, I use my o2x for everything and I sometimes feel sorry for the poor thing. I have tried lots of customs roms and kernels but this worked so well for me I have to talk about it so here it goes.

If you are still reading I assume you have already rooted your device and currently have a stock rom on it, if not please don't ask me as I am not a developer and I am sure you know how the internet (google search) works. This is what worked for me and if it doesnt for you I am really sorry but find your own happiness.

Right to business:

1. Get on CM7 latest nightly

2. Follow Temasek http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425 and get kanged

3. Swiftextreme kernel (wish that developer comes back to xda :( ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325183

3. Match RIL with get RIL (725 v10d, Europe) worked for me

Voila your o2x is now a superphone on speed, if it works for you, you will feel the difference.

Keep your tweaks (kangs and kernels) in a folder where you can easily update and recover. You will have to repeat the steps when updating kang.....no wipe necessary.


FYI: please note that I am a user and not a developer and I cannot be held responsible for your device....READ INSTRUCTIONS properly and always BACKUP before flashing (cos it makes people get a better view lol....sorry had to).

Does it work for you? Dont thank me thanks to all the great developers of the android community who are priceless and make priceless contributions.

Post your device's happiness. What is working for you?

Congrats! Our phone is really great when rooted and flashed a custom rom and kernel on it...

One thing is... SwiftExtreme is really outdated and you should try another kernel like:

Ironkernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307

Vadonkas KANG kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427646

These kernels are I think better than swiftextreme
i know swiftextreme is outdated and thats what shocked me....i have tried ironkernel and it constantly crashes and for some reason Vadonkas kernel not working for me, phone doesnt boot nothing. I am on swiftextreme now and it is extremely stable quickly switching between apps. I can be gaming, tethering and replying to my messages everything, which with ironkernel it would start lagging and rebooting but this is really stable. Vandonkas look good and I might give it a go

what about camera? is it good? did you compared it with one on stock rom? IMHO low quality camera is the only, but huge disadvantage of custom roms that are not based on stock.

Yeah I know but for some reason just not working for my o2x. Wud be great to have a more up to date kernel but swiftextreme works really well. I'll keep following updates see if I get lucky :D

Congratulations, I'm really happy with my 2X too :D

My set is:

MIUI Moon101 + the last vadonka kernel + bb 824

The difference with the stock ROMs is really huge.

even though swiftkernel is outdated I think it is the most stable, using with latest wajkiui (2.1.20) vadonka looked interesting but my phone is constantly crashing with it :S, anyone else have the same with lastest wajkiui?

I totally agree with you, I've never had my phone this stable I don't close apps no more just switch between them. I hope it manages with the newest kangs.

I'm very happy with the following set:

- Leaked V20o with FD fix, my own battery mod, camera mod etc.
- HP SR2 Kernel
- Performance Pack V9
- very smooth V20o SQLite Libs for better scrolling
- some other mods like Supercharger etc.
