[Q] 1.27 oc

Does anybody else notice that the sgs4g isnt stable OC'ed after 1.27??

not really, left mine at 1.3 for about 3 days with light, moderate, and heavy use. I didn't notice anything but beauty. recent reboot with a couple of mods and i haven't OC'd it again. (don't see much of a need for it with the kernel/roms out there)

Depends on how sensitive the chip is. Mine has minor stability issues at 1.3 but at 1.25 or 1.2 is fine.

I had mine at 1.3 for a bit and it was just fine, but usually I just go to 1.2.

I had mine oc'd to 1.2 just to play it safe but now im running KC1 with the bali uv kernel and i really dont see any reason to be OC'd. Both KD1 and KC1 are fine without OC once installing the new kernel. THANKS TO DRHONK!!!!!!!!!!! My battery life has increased by at leist 30% now that my phone has had a couple of days to adjust. I also use an app called Green Power Pro wich has many features but one i like best is the ability to have your data turn off when u lock the phone and back on once u turn on the screen again. This prevents all the things that run when data is on from draining the phone when its on but not in use. I have seen a big difference in bat life since using this feature on this app.(data is your internet connection so when the data is off u still get your calls and text as long as ur not using an app that needs internet access for either of the two.)

need advice about the current roms

Ok, ive been doing some research and it looks like eagals blood is prob the rom for me. I was wondering if i could get some advice on this, i am currently unrooted so im stock , this phone is killing me when it comes to battery life, the stability is so so, but my real problem is battery life i charge my fone about 3 times a day. I am a crazy heavy user, fb, texting about 200-400 message a day, phone calls every now and then, games (words with friends), and just random internet stuff. so my phone is like my life! My friend has a samsung captivate and he can go 12-14 of heavy usage prob not as much as me but he doesnt have it charging all the time like me. I was wondering what rom i should use to achieve great battery life and not lose out on stabilty or speed, look doesnt matter bc i use UTO kitchen.

Are you looking for an Android 2.3.3 or 2.3.5 ROM?

Hey man if you want a 2.3.3 rom that is stock the best is Xboarders stock tweeked rom it is super stable and everything works and the battery life is great. I use that ROM myself when I am in a stock mood. You hit it on the head with eaglesblood it is the best rom out there. I use the 1.08 verion it is based off GB 2.3.5 it is a mix a cm7 and EB goodness. The battery life is also excellent on it but you will not have A2DP (thats BT stero music) And you cant flash the stock froyo LG camera and there are APN issues that A hard reboot fixes every time. All of the problems I just mentioned are not specific to EB they are however specific to GB 2.3.5 for the g2x. It has something to do with Nivdia not relesing something drivers or sorce I dont know what exactly but thats why. You have to make a choice. I hope this helps you. Oh I alklmost forgot I am a heavy user like you except not text mssgs or phone calls but net data data data I had to change my plan to the 10 gig plan 5 was not enough. So what I did was I got the extended battery for the O2x it fits perfdectly and it was only $30. Before that I had 2 stock batterys with an external charger that worked ok too but I hated changing the battery half way through the day you should look into that. Good luck man.

i dont mind i want something stable, fast and great battery life...what does A2DP mean...im going to try EB 1.07 bc i hear no1 has problems with that...

A2DP is Stereo Bluetooth Audio... That's only important if you listen to music using a Stereo Bluetooth Headset.
For battery life, I'd recommend a CM7 based ROM, with either a stock, or undervolted kernel, such as faux123.

When u undervolte does it slow does ur phones speed?

I agree with FatalityBoyZahy,
I did see a battery life increase after installing CM7, but the most dramatic change in battery life came after installing faux's 0.4.1 undervolted kernel.
And no the speed and stability don't drop, at least not with faux's kernel.
I would imagine that a 2.3.3 stock GB based rom such as Xboarder's tweaked or EB 2.3.3 plus faux's stock GB kernel would produce the best battery life, as I remember experiencing a huge jump in battery life from CM7 to stock GB.
However, I feel like besides the great battery life, the stock GB roms are ****ty compared to CM7 in terms off features and stability.
For example you can't do Netflix or gtalk video on stock GB.
Also I didn't experience this, but some users experience reboots and other such nonsense on stock GB.
So in Summary:
- stock 2.3.3 based rom (EB 2.3.3 is your best bet here in my opinion) + faux kernel = best battery life
- cm7 based rom (EB 2.3.5 or latest CM7 nightly) + faux kernel = best choice for both great battery life and better stability/features
Hope this helps!

No. The only risk is that you might run into stability issues, but using morfic's UV11 it isn't an issue.
Undervolt, use SetCPU profiles, keep wifi/gps off when you're not using them, and keep your display brightness low. That will net you the best battery life.

I believe the faux kernel is here: [Kernel]CM7 [2.6.32.45] (v0.4.1) OC~1.55GHz/UV/SLQB/BFQ/EXT4/Voodoo [Aug-27]
Looks like the CM version of the kernel is preferred by some in that thread (has to do with the battery driver).
Question: In terms of flashing the kernel, should I flash the ROM first and then the kernel? Or the other way around? (Or does it not matter?)

Always ROM then kernel.
And I prefer the CM version of faux's kernel as well. Supposedly the DS version has better battery life but I've never been able to notice because I'm always busy pulling my hair out over the jumpy and wildly inaccurate readings.

[Q] Stable,fast ICS out?

I tryed some ICS Roms from the Forum the last days.
All of them where build from the official release and everyone says "stable".
Fact is that every ICS rom i tryed had bugs.
So my question now: Is there a rom which is realy stable and fast?
Roms i tryed:
- Ultimaste ICS -> wallet closes,market crashs,stucks on home screen,
- Nexusbeam -> graphic artefacts, battery sucks,
- Original Rom -> graphic artefacts, poor performance, no options,

Try aosp43. Everything works just fine.

What they said! OICSv43 works perfect. Use the supplied kernel and after it boots, after you set every thing up, go to recovery and fix permissions. I use nova launcher, status bar mod, and it works perfect. All the camcorder effects, mms, dialer etc. No lag here and all apps I use are working with gpu rendering on. This rom made me completely be happy w my ns4g until sprint gets the nexus.
Hell w my extended battery I got 6 hours screen on time and after 18 hours hit 15%. All on 3g and 5 hours on wifi. The android os use is reporting high but it is not affecting my battery and therefore I am not concerned. Really really good rom and I can't imagine the ota being better

Sorry. Actually aosp43 is only for NS4G and since you mentioned nexus beam rom I think you have the GSM version.

Im uploading my release soon, your welcome to try it. Im not going to post a thread just yet though

Yes I have the GSM Nexus. I will try aosp43 tomorrow

I tested all roms and kernels... the best for me, at all: ROM=> PIXELROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411734 and KERNEL=> 3.1.6-ICUP For ICS OTA 12/30 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401455 .
Adjust with NSTools, free on market. I use 1200 MHz CPU, Smartass v2, and deep IDLE On. All notifications OFF.
The best Performance and battery life, for me... 2333 pts benchmarck
Happy New Year!!

I use Brainmaster's ICS and it's working flawlessly. I'm waiting for the next version of Nexus Beam though, seems to be better.
Or maybe a RC of CM9...

random reboots with weapon

alright when I use weapon 3 on stock kernel I get random reboots when I am not using it or I would have to pull out the battery in order to use it. I have done format system, data, cache, dalvik and then used g2x scrubber and I install it through my extrenal SD. tsugi on stock so far had no problems. I want to use weapon though because my battery life with tauting is horrible. with light use I can only use about 7 hours with set CPU lowering the clock and having it set to the lowest clock on screen off.

This is a known issue for G2x, it varies from phone to phone, and for rom to rom. Devs are working hard to reduce this, but trust me, they re not as bad as stock...
Sent from my G2X XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....

yes I do realize that custom roms are better than stock but my brother has weapon and his battery life is phenomenal! he can use his phone for 2 days and he isn't using any CPU optimizer or juice defender while I am using all those on tsugi rom and still only get about 7 hours of light use. iono maybe I am doing something wrong with tsugi rom?

Setup your phone just like your brother's and swap fully charged batteries then give your phone to him to use and you use his (this is to try to have your phone tested under the same use as your brother uses his phone) to find out if the problem is the phone or the battery. If your brother's phone with your battery in it doesn't last as long or nearly as long as it did with his own battery in it, then it is definitely your battery. If, while your brother uses your phone with his battery in it, your phone doesn't last as long as his phone does with his battery in it, then it's your phone. Your phone should still be under warranty so, if you need to get service you will know what needs replacement.

Try phoenixblood rom with faux kernel, no reboots and great battery life!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'll +1 that for PhoenixBlood
plus: if you are having any stability issues, remove everything that might cause that, including CPU "optimizer" and Jdefender. They could conflict with the kernel. OTB PhoenixBlood is really great for speed and battery.
Also, if you've had previous problems, such as overheating, you may have damaged your battery. I'd first try running your brother's battery (with his permission), to see if that changes things. One rule to use is that you shouldn't change more than one variable at a time if you care to know what it is that fixed it. Changing ROMs, phones, batteries, SIMS and SD cards all at once will maybe fix the problem but it won't tell you what you did to fix it.

Maybe you're just undervolting too low? My phone can hardly handle it so I usually just don't mess with it.
Keep stock kernel.

thank you for all your replies. I have tried pheonix blood and liked it but even on stock or faux kernel I still get reboots. I did not download those extra applications either. so I am back on tsugi stock kernel and it has no reboots yet, but I found that if I enable the toggle 2g application that came with it and set the radio frequency to wcdma only, it increases the battery life by a lot. I can now go through the whole day with about 50 percent with light use. I do like pheonix or cm7 better though because I feel that it is going to keep updating for the better. also it seems customizable. I was wondering if there is a way to record when the phone experienced a reboot or sod to a log so I can find out why?

Getting maximum performance out of G2X... on specific device

Ok for some mods my thread maybe annoying as these kind of things has been asked before but I want to share my device specifics with some of the experts here so that they can help me. Maybe others can post their device specifics on this thread too in order to get help
My G2X : 1.25 months old (my first android )
Carrier : WIND Mobile Canada
Tried Roms for maximum performance --- I am still on testing phase for this cell phone. once i get to the optimal setting then I will give it a rest and use it normally
2.2 Froyo Stock WIND --- Too Old
2.3.3 (V21e Stock - TMobile ) --- Too plain
2.3.4 (v21y stock - TMobile) --- took a headache to get upgraded on Windows 7 after that something odd happened. 1 Hour of temple run got me to 5% battery straight from approx 80%. Thought March 2012 baseband was the culprit moved to Weapon G2x with July 15 kernel (note: never moved back to June 5 the original WIND kernel till now)
2.3.3 (Weapon G2x Latest + Faux Kernel) --- Best Rom for stability and battery life ....BUT ..... stock browser kept on crashing without any reason and also some greed for CM7 tweaks ... moved to CM7.2 latest nightlies (dun remember which one)
2.3.7 (CM7.2 RC) ---- was OK with faux kernel i got 6 hours straight battery time on WiFi (using Skype, Playing Games, Voice calls, Texting, Browsing, Sync On constantly .... i.e 6 hours straight awake and screen on) --- got stability issues so I moved to CM7.2 stable
2.3.7 (CM7.2 stable) --- had to upgrade the baseband again to March 2012 with the Temple Run mishap in mind ..... so then searched XDA ... found Trinity ... searched more ... found the last 6 Feb 2012 kernel for GB ELP .... flashed it and got the battery timing up to 9 from 6 hours also Heavy gaming is Lagless (GTA 3 , Modern Combat)... Loved it (though i was having flash distorted streaming issues) ....anyway thought i found the combination ... used it for few days..... Till
I have WiFi at home n work so I am mostly on Wifi thats why on my initial tests I forgot about the difference in battery timings on WiFi and HSPA ... One time out of the house visiting someone. I tested my combination on HSPA ... damn got less than 5.... just maybe 4 hours of straight awake battery timing while only constant browsing and texting and Sync On. Is that what I am gonna get with G2X? What if I am on the move while texting or browsing or using GPS (I haven't even turned on the GPS) 4 hours of awake screen on battery timing while only browsing is too low. so I searched more and moved to EB last GB release
2.3.7 (EB Latest .. possibly based on CM7.2 RC) ... feels fast .. mainly due to app drawer opening too quickly ....also tried GTA ... somewhat lagless ... ran my test of constant browsing on HSPA and some texting and Sync On ... got me still somewhat 4-5 hours of battery moved to HFP 2.2
NOW - 2.3.7 (HFP 2.2 based on CM7.2 Stable) .... installed V6 Super charger ... got battery timing of 4.5 hours with the above test.....(ALSO THERE IS A PROBLEM.... I AM GETTING A BATTERY DRAIN APPROX 5-10% /HOUR WHILE SCREEN OFF AND SYNC ON ON DATA... AND THAT WASN'T A CASE WITH WIFI ON CM7.2 NIGHTLIY) removed V6 and now calibrating battery. I have another app CPUSleep in my arsenal to test but I am waiting till i get the right combination ... i'll use it as a bonus.... if calibration doesn't work my plans are to switch kernels and test and after that downgrading to the old baseband and test...
now all of the above was typed so that the experts would know how far I have gone so they won't ask me to repeat anything that is already done above ... NOW MY QUSTIONS ARE :
1. I heard on some post on XDA that lower voltage on heavy usage tends to drain battery faster. Since I am using Trinity ELP which has lower voltage values by default as compared to Faux's kernel. Is this really possible that lower voltage kernel drain battery faster?
2. I am extremely skeptical about the baseband thing. Mainly because I am sure it should have an effect on battery timing too and also because since I am a WIND user and stock baseband was June 5 2011 and now I am on T-Mobile March 2012. Could the different baseband for different carrier may have some effect on battery timing while using on different network? What about RIL? Upgrading to HFP 2.2 on latest baseband i had a RIL mismatch .why should I upgarde RIL? Does RIL mismatch/match has an effect on battery timing?

Well for one use getril and update the RIL to 21y I find I get a tiny bit better signal quality... And some cpus can't handle drastic undervolt and actually will consume more power and get hotter which uses more power also... This is a good guide for undervolting I'd go with faux or trinity t15 and use the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558080.... And lastly the new baseband really isn't a huge difference in battery life its more about signal strength and gps lock times...

Thanks for the reply. I thought I wont get one due to that very long post... anyway
Ok I will update the RIL .... but part of my question is still unanswered. U see June 5 2011 baseband was stock on Wind froyo 2.2 but on others like videotron March 2011 was inside stock froyo .... so the way a baseband works are they carrier specifics or not? Or just Band/Frequency specific?
I haven't undervolted Trinity ELP myself since I am afraid of it getting fried I just left it on default values and had surprisingly good results with constant WiFi 8 to 9 hours constant usage. Its just that on HSPA the battery is draining quickly not to mention HSPA+ . And yes my cell is getting more warm to hot as compared to when used with WiFi. Is it possible that Trinity ELP values are too low for HSPA. Making it hotter and draining battery faster. Should I increase the voltage on ELP? M right now in calibrating process. Will update u more on that.

ELP kernel is set really low already and is too low for some phone best way is to use t15 and find your sweet spot..As for the BB I'm not to knowledgeable about wind but know you can use the new bb on it with no issues

The baseband is just firmware for your radio. It doesn't affect game performance at all.

I haven't said anything about game performance. I said the battery drained when playing temple run from 80 to 5%.

Ok thanks. I'll do that and get back to u once I have finished calibrating my battery. Can u tell me what is the best way of calibrating g2x battery. I have tried zapplinrox die hard battery calibrator but I need to know if it can be used on g2x. And if it can be. Then how? The thing is that approximate battery showing on the script is different than the actual.

There's conflicting reports on scripts like those on g2x

Calibration for a battery for the sake of making it better is just a myth. It's only beneficial when charging a new battery.

Hmm... yes I haven't saw any difference with V6 Supercharger even though It is said on HFP 2.2 OP that it works. I just used the die hard calibrator to see the actual current of the device. Now it says you need to be on 4200 mv in order to start calibration. Although I tried very hard and couldn't get passed to 4190mv. Anything I do after that (e.g turning the screen on reduces the battery). I have also installed Battery Calibration by NeMa referenced on the g2x forum here somewhere. It is said on that app and told by some devs that due to frequent changing of roms and kernels, battery values and may get mixed up since we don't wipe the battery stats while flashing through CWM.

Initially I thought that too. But what about the difference in the approximate % of battery left. Like when my battery was 100% the script and the above mentioned tool said it is about 4185mV which is approx 98% and that it needs to be 4200mV to be 100% and after my battery got 0% on stats (in just 9 hours with hardly using the phone just sync ON) the script shows there is still some juice left . approx 30%
And you know what . when the battery got to 100% on 4185mV. I del the battery stats and thats how I pushed it to 4190mV as I know Li-ion automatically stops charging once the battery is full. I am thinking of removing the battery stats again before it reaches 0 to see whether the device still works as the script says there is juice left. If there isn't then of course the device will turn off automatically and I can declare that script flawed for g2x once and for all.

Are you using the original kernel from hfp2.2 it has the ds version of fauxs kernel so the battery Readings are not correct at all.. If so flash a kernel with the cm battery driver like trinity or faux cm version

But that doesn't have anything to do with the baseband, is what I'm saying.

Temple run was just an example. What I meant there was that I thought baseband has a direct or indirect effect on battery timing when using phone rather moderately with Data
On.

Hey DJLamontagneIII ... I just installed T15 Trinity. still not feeling good about battery drain. M gonna try Faux's . Which one exactly should I go for? I am asking that since I can't find UV kernel for 050 CM. Should I go for SV 050 CM? or is it possible to install 013 GB as on the OP it says it supports EaglesBlood. m not sure how as EB is CM7 based. m using HFP 2.2 as told earlier

http://faux.androidro.ms/Use 049 or 050.... 013 is for stock GB which EB had a long time ago.. With these a d t15 you have to UV with SetCpu or similar app... Follow that guide I posted earlier

Thanks .... installed 050 with the expectation of getting overheated as reported by many users. BUT ... it works perfectly .. slightly warm when charging but Perfect ... I compared its voltage values with T15 . Faux's are much more lower... still the device is working exactly how it should. I haven't OC it yet as it is performing much nicer and swiftly even on stock clock while gaming and using the phone normally. I know overclocking will get a decrease in battery timing right now as it is SV. so I will use your guide to UV it myself.
As for the battery calibration thing. I just came across a post saying a google engineer bunked the myth of calibration since most calibration script/apps just remove the battery stats file which does nothing except resetting the used stats. It doesn't have any effect on battery memory etc... That's why i removed the better battery stats app and installed CPU Spy as I think the frequent root access by better battery stats may also cause partial wakelocks or maybe m mistaken. Anyway if I found something fishy on CPU Spy. I will reinstall the better battery stats app to investigate. Now last but not least the CPU Sleep app I mentioned as bonus. While it is a nice app it's useless on Faux's kernel as he has already implemented that on 050.
Anyone reading my thread want a stable all round gingerbread and kernel combo. My suggestion would be to first go for HFP2.2 and Faux's 050 stable combination over CM7.2 latest nightlies as HFP2.2 is based on CM7.2 stable while the (should I say stock) CM7.2 nightlies still have that flash streaming problem (Till date). Also the video camera in HFP2.2 is awesome not to mention the newly added ICS launcher interface.

Mods can now close this thread if they want to or leave it open for others seeking maximum performance out of their specific g2x device. Thank You everyone.

Glad you got is sorted see how different devices are I get sods wile charging overnight with 050 stable.... And just to clarify hfp2.2 is based on CM7.2 RC2 not stable so it's a little behind the nightlys or really weeklys

Ok..... getting the SOD now what do u recommend? 48 stable or 49betas. As I can't find 49 stable. Also does these have 1 processor sleeps and 500MHz limit when screen is off like 050 or do I have to do both of these things externally?
