[ROM] Modded Super D with dwang's kernel

As I`ve posted before some code in most new kernels is causing some issues while using my car's handsfree set(vw) I get random disconnects.
So as I like Super D and I like latest dwang's rom. I mixed both of them and took the best of both roms. What you get with this rom is latest Super D with the best kernel that's working for me.
i don't take any credit from it, I'm sharing a good setup working for me. I just took all the work done by people involved in Super D and Dwang's rom. Apart from that I also included advanced launcher themed by eesel with cyanogen's tray shape.(thanks rogro82, cyanogen and eesel)

Trying will report back
thanks for sharing friend!
Edit:
1. Speed is good
2. Sometimes launcher lags in sweeping
3. No MT anywhere, well thats the Kernel thing
4. sign-in page force-closed on me many times but got over with that
5. Killing all the apps gives 60 MB free, wwhile on SD default kernel we get around 45 MB, this is great!
6. application response is very very quick
7. wall-paper gallery is older
Thats all for now....hope it helps those wanting to try this ...
Cheers,

I am not having those issues. Have you wiped everything before flashing? I didn't have any force close in the whole friday.
I have to research how to solve multi touch issue, because dwangs rom supports it

Wow, superb work. I may test it asap.
Hows battery life compared to stock SuperD? That was the thing put me away from Dwangs (and the random reboots).
Thankyou!

sounds interesting.

-no idea then, coz mine asked for re-inputting log-in information again and again. although everythhing was setup (meaning, synching was running while it was still bugging for signing in to google after I did it once)
Coming to your question, ya I always do full wipe, no matter what.
Your Mod definitely runs fast, congrates, and the force close is only stopped once you ignore signing in request and press Home button - done!
MT is an issue fr me, not that I use it while browsing web or Gallery very often but I like to have it for the sense of completeness
Good Job, I am now back to SupD tho.
P.S. Battery was not checked since I only stayed on this rom for less than an hour, not enough time right?
cheers

Battery life *seems* good so far
Multitouch is working indeed BUT not in the browser nor the photo gallery, I still have to look for more info. If you want to try it run MT visualizer. I 'm sure it's something about multitouch being handled in different way by donut or eclair.

I just flashed it without a wipe.
It works fine for me so far, but it should be mentioned that it is the white version
But i like suprising graphical changes

60 MB free? "
It use ramhack, compcache and swap?
BTW.. seriously.. The kernel have ramhack, right?
Now I'm using the rom SuperCSDI V1, and with the SupSetup I can turn on or off APP2SD.
I think it's a great thing, because installing apps on NAND they run a lot faaaaaaaaaaster! So I install default apps in NAND, and other apps in ext partition.
If I found a way to do it in this rom, I'll try it
PS: If you don't use compcache or swap and it have 60mb free on killing.. ramhack can be removed to use 3D application

OMG i have the same exact issue with the random disconnecting. its been prevalent in every rom since cyan's 4.2.6 (and dwangs, super D, etc). I've tried pushing the older working "bluetooth.apk" from 4.2.6 to the newer builds with no success at all. Did you recompile the ROM to make it work? The perfect ROM to me would be Super D 1.9.2 with no ram hack and working bluetooth.
good work though, im willing to sacrifice 3D games for working bluetooth though so i may give this a run... *subscribed!*

sounds good flashing

nice Rom, but it only has 3 screens, and i don't like the launcher. Despite those things its great, i did a few tests
benchmark
lowest - 625
highest - 1084
ram
after killing all of the tasks i had 50mb

You can have up to 10 screens: menu -> more
And there are enough themes for the advanced launcher

What hands free set do you use?
I've read that you can solve it by editing /etc/bluez/audio.conf as follow
enable=
Disable=Headset,Gateway,Source,Control,Sink
uncoment #Master=true and replace it by Master=False (mind the caps)
It's working for BMW sets, give it a try may be you can keep 3d.

I drive an audi A3, and the OP drives a VW which most likely uses the same BT system. I just finished pulling the audio.conf from the phone and will edit it like you said. *fingers crossed* will update tomorrow...
UPDATE: The bluetooth fix mentioned by xabierd seems to have fixed my random disconnecting issue. didn't drop the connection once during my 30min commute to work. i normally experience at least 2-3 random disconnects every time i drive to/from work. yay!~!!

I'm glad I helped you, I am the OP too

[ROM] Megatron v1 (experimental, performance-oriented, beta kernel)

Announcement: I highly suggest you flash void. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887281
Well, here's one more ROM for you guys: Megatron.
Why the name? Seemed only logical considering the name of our device, Optimus One.
It's basically a ROM tweaked for performance while retaining a decent battery usage. Also, with this ROM, you won't need to flash any other tweaks.
I daresay it's so far the speediest ROM for LG P500.
Features:
v2:
to be updated
v1:
root + superuser + busybox
APKs deodexed + zipaligned + png-optimized
apps2sd + dalvik2sd [1]
performance tweaks: (JIT, hardware acceleration, etc) [2]
includes drellisdee's custom kernel [3]
kernel repacked to set onboot the scheduler to interactive (tweak)
applications removed: App Advisor, Layar, Twitter, Facebook, LG Home, Think Office, Update notifications and Twitter [4]
applications changed: Genie widget (now transparent), Music (imported from CM)
applications added: Titanium backup, File Manager (imported from CM) and the awesome LauncherPro [5]
ringtones, notification and alarm sounds added (including iPhone ones)
changed boot animation to a more cute one
auto-overclock to 728Mhz and possibility to easily revert (minitron tweak) [6]
[1] Rather than move_cache_sd program used in another ROMs, I use another method for moving dalvik-cache to SDcard since sometimes using the aforementioned program won't work successfully. It's a known issue of Dsixda's kitchen.
[2] Heapsize: 32MB; without a doubt the best value.
[3] Check the original thread here and if you can, buy him some beer.
[4] I left CarHome due to popular demand.
[5] Titanium backup will allow you to uninstall any system application and to backup the ones you install. LauncherPro is in my opinion, way better (performance-wise) than ADW.
[6] As far as I've read, 728Mhz is stable for everyone til now.

Requirements:
In order to flash this ROM, you'll need on your device:
Having read the feature list and notes above
Root (check thread)
Drellisdee's custom recovery (check thread)
Class 4 SDcard or higher (bench it with h2testw)
Megatron (download it here)
How to flash:
First, reboot into recovery via 3-button-combo, ADB, terminal, w/e.
Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.
Wipe data (data,cache,dalvik-cache,ext).
Connect the device to PC, copy Megatron over to the SDcard, disconnect.
Flash it via "flash zip from sdcard"
Reboot
Read important notes below
That's it.
Important notes:
* There were some reports on other ROMs that battery usage was very high, especially on standby. While this ROM should perform better, it won't still have as good battery usage as stock ROM mainly due to the scaling governor being set to interactive. Also because of this reason, benchmarks could be slightly lower. I however promise that the overall experience and snappiness will be quite satisfying.
* I've made an easy and friendly way to decrease the clock back to stock 600Mhz. Instead of needing to use SetCPU, you just need to create a folder in your SDcard called "minitron" (without the ""), then reboot your phone. Your clock will be now back to 600Mhz. If you wish to revert it to the default 728Mhz, just delete the folder and reboot your phone again. Since the voltage is the same for both clocks, battery consumption should be around the same too. If for some odd reason, you get a boot loop, it means your phone doesn't support (*gasp*) a 728Mhz clock. To avoid a boot loop, go back to the custom recovery, toggle sdcard-pc connection and create the "minitron" (without the "") folder. Reboot, should be fine.
* Remember, you won't need to flash anything else. Everything's here.
As you already know, I cannot be held responsible for any damage you may cause to your phone by following these instructions. Every step taken is of your entire responsability.
Testimonials:
* "I noticed that the phone was another! much better performance! I did all the tests and there are no problems!"
* "This Rom is just... Amazing!!!"
* "Feedback: working nicely untill now. So far so good - the best ROM yet"
* "Great work , phone is workin faster and booting 2times better now great work."
* "So far I can say it is arguably fast. Phone is super snappy and responsive."
Time to see for yourself.
Just remember, it's still an experimental ROM.

-reserved-

Thanks for the work, though I think I'll be passing for right now.
Auto OCd kernel with way to revert is a bad idea at this point in that kernel. I would do it the other way around. Let it be a "MegatronMax" (or something like that) folder to ENABLE the OC, but leave it at 600MHz till more testing has been done. Just because the volt is the same doesn't mean its going to perform as well long run. Not even sure Interactive will be better than say conservative because of the excessive ramping up and down in freq. I have seen in interactive. I guess bottom line is, you shouldn't include a beta kernel yet in your ROM and default it OCd. At this point in development I think you should let the users decide if they want to test out these kernel features themselves because it is easy enough for flash the kernel back and forth.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866774
Plus the author of the kernel requested that you DO NOT include it in ROMs, but rather point users to that thread.
Other than the kernel issues, seems like it will work well for those who want those features.
Just my 2 cents, seems like a decent enough ROM, like to see how it works for people.

Been using it for days and no complaint.
Like I said, it's a performance-oriented ROM. Default OC makes sense to me.
If people are scared of long-term effects, they should Minitron-it then.
Anyway, I'll update the thread's title.
And interactive is way better than anything to be honest. It will even be the next default scheduler in CyanogenMOD.

Didn't read that and it's the first request of the kind I've seen.
For user's comfort, custom kernels often tag along with custom ROMs. Protocol has always been to credit the author, point to original thread and urge for a donation. At least to what I'm used to. However, if he insists on this and contacts me directly stating he really doesn't want his kernel included on a ROM, I will abide and remove the whole ROM since it loses its raison d'être.

Definitely not trying to flame or troll man
That was just my opinion on the matter. I am sure there are many people who will install and enjoy your work.
It is not uncommon to not want your work bundled, but at least you gave credit. I see too often credit not even given for others discoveries and hard work.
I still say default OC is a bad idea until we understand the full long term effects of having this hardware 700+MHz, but then again, this will start getting it tested.

Have installed the ROM. Works Great, No problems so far. Like the LP. But I would like to have an option to install themes and so one. That would be fantastic.
Thanks!
EDIT: Solved

There is a reason I set max freq on boot to 600mhz in kernel as its to prevent users from getting stuck in a boot loop at a speed thats too great for their device. If you kernel panic it will reboot back to stock max as as had it set up. I did also have in my post not to repack kernel in rom and posted source so rom makers could build their own variant to use. I'm not going to ask for you to pull rom however as I see no reason for that. I just made it so it would reach as broad an audience as possible even those that don't want to overclock as its optional as I had it setup. Also, by using koush's any kernel its compatible with virtually any rom.
Noejn, I've learned the hard way just because your phone runs ok at xxx freq doesn't mean others will.

hello Noejn be honest, I have updated this roms just because I had the famous problem "reboot (reset) the phone" as soon as I put everything, I noticed that the phone was another! much better performance! I did all the tests and there are no problems!
the only thing, there is more and reset!
is a week that I bought, and I can not figure out how to solve this problem you know anything Noejn
However good the ROM recommend it!

Yea, no worries. Sorry if I seemed harsh in my reply, not my intention.
I do have a different opinion though, slightly more optimist.
Since the voltage is the same for both clocks and the cpu only peaks if called, I don't think there will be much overheating. Also, I've never heard of any MSM7227 that toasted itself or his hardware neighbours.
That being said, you may think it's a leap of faith but I find it perfectly safe to use a 728Mhz clock as default. I may be wrong but let's hope not.

I understand that.
So far, the least stable clock that someone had on your awesome kernel was 748. Even so, as a safety measure, I've set it @ ~728. If for some reason there's someone out there that gets a boot loop, he just have to go to the custom recovery, toggle the sdcard-pc and create "minitron" folder. Done, 600Mhz!
Also, thanks for officially letting me use your kernel on this ROM.

Regarding your reboot problem that happened before, even on other ROMs, sounds to me it is a phone matter. Shouldn't you allege malfunctioning to your carrier and get the phone switched?

* Quadrant (w/ default options) attached to main post
* Forgot to add to features a different boot animation

i say thumbs up just for the name , not to mention the rom

I know there are some differences, but would this work on an Optimus T (P509)? I've been looking around for a rom and can't seem to find anything as promising as this. Any help is always appreciated.

Optimus T = O1 for T-mobile

Yes, I know, but that wasn't my question. I understand that the processor in the O1 is MSM7627 and the Optimus T has a MSM7227. Since the kernel was made for the O1 would I need to find a different compatible kernel for this rom on the Optimus T or would this OC'd kernel work? I'm willing to test it, but I just wanted an opinion before I started.

Can you add an option on this ROM ? I would really like the softkeys to be always on.
Congratulations for your work !

CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Milestone XT720 RC1 bug report

hi all
i followed the disskusion in Milestone XT720 Android Development CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Milestone XT720 RC1
tried 2 reply but i never posted something so iam not allowed to post in def forum
i think iam not the only one with this problem
tried to make my 10 post in offtopic to join the diskussion but faster deleted than posted
so here i go
at first i wanna thank all the devs for the good work
to see cm7 build from source on my xt720 makes me smile
although thanks to all other guys made roms 4 xt720 loved most of the tested but CyanogenMod is my favorite
my last rom was Mioze7Aes cm6.3
so again thanks to all and back to the now
things i missed/bugs found:
still no crystalltalk
missing the standard gallery 4 hdmi /the realhdmi app i used on cm6 although not working
fixed in the builds i got from
https://github.com/peshovec/playground/downloads
when i push hardwaremenubutton/manage applications/running it shows me 0-15mb free ram most time i locked 0-5mb
when i look in other tools like android assistant it says 25-60
is it a bug or is it only cause i have no plan about the ram use
btw what about swap saw the qestion in orginal thread too can we do it the same way like on Mioze7Aes cm6.3
other people with same problems ? some are altough talked about in the orginal thread

mfg jens

hi jensblau...
i'm having the same difficulty with the 10 post issue.
i would also like to post to that forum topic
---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------
i apologise for the short messages i may post but maybe we can get our 10 post minimum requirement on your thread. or possibly this thread will catch a developers eye and acknowledge our posts.
i have tried many versoins of the roms. however due to functionality and asthetics, i always find myself flashing back to dexters froyo.
i have not been a fan of AWD launcher as the primary launcher of any of the threads until i flashed this CM7 rom. the transitions are smooth and it looks great.
here is a list of things i have found on my side regarding the rom, i have only used the latest build [30.10.2011]:
Camera issues:
hd recording: initially when i went to recording, it partially worked but the screen looked like a tv with an interlacing issue. now the screen is just blank. i'm not stressing too uch about this as the hd recording was never really reliable on any rom, including the stock 2.1.
Widescreen photos: this one bugged me the most so far. there is no longer the option of taking photos in the native aspect ratio of the screen, which makes the phone seem less impressive in the gallery as pictures do not fill up the screen.
Applications:
i have not tested the GPS as extensively as you [30mins] but so far no issues. i cannot seem to successfully launch any gaming applications, whether graphics demanding or not. games just seem to hang on the loading screenshot and shortly after force close. i am not sure if the games cannot load due to an accelerometer issue?
is anyone else having gaming issues?
Memory::
RAM: seems inconsistent, whether 50mb+ is available, or 15mb, i cannot seem to run apps smoothly.
Links2SD: cannot link applications with links2sd, i have triedformatting the partition to all supported formats on the setup screen of the application but still no luck.
other than these issues thus far, i think this looks like a very promising rom

My problem is I can't charge when phone turned off, stuck at M logo @@

gps/navi
my navigation problem was the loadingcable from usbradio in the car it seems
without cable no reboot no force close dont know if the radio is the problem or the phone
@shalzn that was my hope to someone of the other thread recognizing this
@jjackichan works 4 me had that problem with an erlier build
update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-26102011-signed.zip was it i think are you running update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-30102011-signed.zip
bzw i reflashed 2.1 betwen what i didnt before since cm6.3

swap
this is the thread i found and used on cm6.3 4 swap maybe i ll give it a try at we
i used the file from post 5 i think
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210343&highlight=swap
is there a way to switch ext betwen 2/3/4 without formating it

If you nandroid backup then restore sddata it will restore as ext2. In Mioze7Ae's recovery mod for the xt720 there is an option to convert ext2 to ext 3/4.

Converting along this path ext2 -> ext3 -> ext4 is pretty easy. Going backwards isn't very easy. If you just want to gitrdun, use ORXT720 to make and restore a nandroid of "SD Data". This will automatically backup, format your /sd-ext as ext2 and then restore it's contents. Then you can use "SD Card Utilities" to change it to ext3 or ext4 if you wish.

thx 4 the fast help
nice this tock not long time you found our nerdthread big THX 4 your help
maybe you can answer the qestion about swap too
is it possible like in your cm6.3 with fjfalcons CustomCore3.rar

jensblau said:

Click to expand...

I think it does. I just booted boot2.img from CustomCore3.rar and it came up with swap enabled. But, swap seems to make things lag quite a bit from what I can tell. It shows 60MB free after boot. I think we have too much memory pressure with our current minfree settings so too much stuff is being forced onto swap and we're thrashing. So, it will probably need tuning using something like AKMO or maybe my swap is just too big.
Caveat: I didn't use the other parts of CustomCore3.rar (because I'm on linux). Also, the build I'm running is very close to the one fjfalcon built and released, but it's not the exact same one (nothing about the swap support should be different, though).

You'll find that our forums are a bit more friendly than some of the others out there. Just keep posting until you reach the min to get into the dev thread and then you can ask directly.
AKMO-autokiller memory optimizer is going to be your friend for awhile until you get your personal memory issues worked out. It is free in market and set it to optimum setting to start out. Then once you get the hang of it, you can tweak at will.

thats the plan
love this forum it allways helped me with my problems
next qestion is how to use akmo strikt or optimum bzw one of the others
wich do you use
and what heapsize should i have tested 32 and 40 i think
but will edit this afternoon after checking this no time have to go to work now
edit:much better after installing akmo

Go with 32 heap size for now and use the optimum setting in AKMO for a bit to get the feel of it. Then we can work on tweaking that. When I was on Kahls V4 my heap was 48 and my custom AKMO were 16,16, 74, 82, 90, 98 and usually had high 50's to mid 70's free ram always with no swap boot. That was on that ROM, not CM7 though.

@ woodrube...
hi there, i am fairly novice compared the skills of the others. i think the reason though is that many of the bugs reported concerning baseband, market. disappearing messages have not happened to me.
in connection with your post above, could these settings be keeping me from running graphics intensive games? they all hang at the startup screen and force close. nfs shift ran superbly on my stock 2.1, and dexters froyo. but now it seems nothing will run unless i rsd my stock rom. i tried brian lee's 2.2 v1.7, which runs the smoothest out of the lot, but still no 3d games.
i would like to be able to run at least something decent to show off on CM7...

You just need a lot of free ram when you run those games. The AKMO tweaks will help with that. I suggest getting Titanium Backup Pro (root) version from market. It is well worth the money. Go into settings, apps, running services and you can see what is running and how much ram it is taking. You can use TB to freeze renegade system apps that eat ram. This will free up available ram to run heavy games. Another app is Chainfire3D with 3plugins. It is used for Tegra gaming and graphics. I can upload the plug ins later on this evening bc they are a pain to find on the net. These should help.
Edit: Chainfire3d app is in the market (root) but I uploaded plugins here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19090240#post19090240

@ woodrube
tried these apps. but no luck. as well as V6 supercharge, tried a few of the modes.
the titanium backup pro does not function as you described to view running apps, unless i'm missing something.
i have 61mb free an not able to run anything.
going to rsdlite back to 2.1 to test the games to see if its not something that changed entirely on the phone.
will give feedback and maybe you can assist from there. have you managed to run anything graphics intensive on your handset just?

this is the name of 2.1 rom i have been flashing : UNMODIFIED_STR_U2_01.1E.0_SIGNED_UCASHLSTABB1B4DEMA039.0R_UCASHOTBRTLRTCEE_P001_A008_HWp3_1FF.sbf
CM7 required flashing ti a 2.1 rom before installation.
NFS will not run on this 2.1, i dont recall if i have ever gamed on this sbf. do you think the problem could start with this rom being the start point of all flashing?

Titanium will not find the rogue running services, it can freeze them. Say you do not use Maps for example. Go into Settings>Applications>Running Services and see if it is running. If so, then you can go into TBPro, find the Maps app and "freeze" it, thus preventing that app from running and eating up valuable RAM in the background. FYI without running Swap boot, 61mb is reasonable. I do not run graphic intense games, so not sure if the problem is the 3D graphics, available RAM or something else.
Looks like the SBF that you are running is the Brightpoint one. Maybe try the Cincinnati Bell Wireless one. It is in the SBF thread and has proven to be one of the most stable SBF foundations. I would suggest you try the CBW SBF if you want to test on 2.1 or maybe try one of the other ROMs and test on them to see if it works on those. Don't forget that CM7 is still a work in progress. Build up your posts so you can post in that forum. Others in there might be having the same issue. There are a few gamers over there.

The differences between the brightpoint and cbw sbfs are inconsequential-- just things like default homepage in the browser and preloaded bookmarks.

He is just having 9 kinds of hell getting that game running. Bet Libertymonger could help him since he runs games like those. If he is having this much trouble getting the game running, I dare not say anything about running swap.

thanks for the help guys.
i'm beginning to think maybe there is a problem with my older apk's and data files.
all the games that used to run on my stock rom and dexters froyo are not running anymore on any roms.
however i have gotten NOVA, and Samurai II [tegra 2] to run smoothly and from the experience they seem to be more involved games. so in theory the phone and roms should not have any difficulty with the older ones. so i'm gonna give it up as installation issue. plus i dont really like nfs, it was more of a show piece in the losing battle against blackberry amongst friends...
i have tested the above mentioned on bravo 2.2 v1.7, and cm7. runs a bit smoother on the bravo for now. but it will keep me happy until the kinks are out of cm7.
would you recommend me running swap boot? will it increase performance? or should i not tamper too much now that its running?
BTW, free RAM has dropped like crazy. +-25mb. nothing major running. keyboard t9 mod : 8mb, google framework: 9mb, whatsapp: 10mb. the remainder add up to under 2mb
does this sound right with those figures?

Hi,
I do run swap boot on CM6.3 and have seen almost all games working better except a few (9mm which was quite laggy even after a swap). But I think problem with swap is that It freezes my XT720 once in a while.
BTW, I plan to switch to the Bravo V1.7 for the time being as I want to try HDMI out which I never used even in the stock due to its limitation of gallery view. Does the Bravo HDMI out work on any games?
Thanks to all the Devs for keeping my XT alive.
Cheers

Post tips to speed up SK4G!

Here's what this thread is about...the Sidekick 4G has a lack luster of performance in regards to speed...so I have a proposal.
Everyone shares tips to speed up the Sidekick 4G...after a brainstorm and some testing..I will compile the best tweaks together and put them into a thread and give credits to the appropriate people! Everyone feel free to join in, don't think any idea is a bad idea, just post it!
1. Tegrak Overclocking on Bali 2.2 at 1.3 GHZ (Generic Ginger 3.0)
2. Using Supercharger V6 Script
3. Use a good launcher (LauncherPro, Nemus) Customize all memory settings for the launcher in the launcher's settings.
4. Flash the Blaze 4G Modem
5. Uninstall the factory default Swype using Link2SD and install Swype Beta
6. Fix permissions on a daily/weekly basis depending on amount of usage
This is the basics of tweaking that I have applied to my Sidekick to get a boost out of performance. Share yours for everyone to use, and brainstorm.
Edit : This research is going to help me compile and cook a ROM. So helping out here, helps out everyone else in the long run.

I'm still on GOv2 now till I get my phone back, but at 1.2ghz along the tweaks I found in other forums this device is totally lag free for me just as long as I keep it optimized. My only issue is ram, I wish this device had more ram.. my low budget Androids actually BOTH have 512mb of ram, and after killing all running apps on those I usually end up with around over 300mb of ram, the Sidekick usually drops to below 100mb in no time and when freeing up ram I never seem to get at least near 200mb.
Anyways.. back on topic, I'll try to find the links to those tweaks so I can share them and give proper credit.

Unfortunately, everyone has mixed success with overclocking on Glorious Overdose V2. If I so much as touch 1.2 GHz, I'll freeze within minutes if not instantly.

Overclocking on GOv2 is hit and miss for me. Sometimes, it can go for about a week on 1.2, or like this morning, it'll crash and shut off. I almost did not wake up in time for work. lol.

Yeah. Which is why I'm trying to also dev like Adjust is, but I'm a beginner. I'm trying to find the Bali 2.2 Voodoo kernel right now so I can get started.
The Bali 2.2 Voodoo kernel is overclockable to 1.3 GHZ (stable) so if that's the case, just being at 1.3 is a huge speed increase, and then implementing the tweaks into the ROM.

it doesn't matter what the kernal allows for clock speed, every phone is different and some can't overclock at all without crashing

True. But at the very least we can try.

Try this and see if it does anything for your device. Just remove any prior init.d scripts you have on your device as these may actually conflict with each other.

cool deal. I was away from the SK for a long time, but isn't the Platypus_Egg kernel basically the Bali kernel adapted for the KJ2 ROM base?(correct me if I'm wrong about that) in which case, you can use the zImage from GOV or GG ROM. I guess it depends what you are gonna use as your base. for KG2 there was a flashable zip for the Bali kernel here and on Rootzwiki... but they might have been posted to Multiupload and not working anymore.
I am running the KJ2 stock ROM with Platypus kernel taken from GG, and it's running great. I also tried to build the kernel from the source we have, and it seemed to build with no errors, but I couldn't get it to boot on KJ2.

WAYYY ahead of ya, lol. Platy v1 is my kernel ln KJ2. I haven't tested my ROM, but I've finished up version 0.5 and it's ready for testing for anyone who wants to test it! ( I Don't have time to try it right now)

oh cool, I have a 2nd SK in my possession right now, so I could flash it and test it a little bit if you'd like. wouldn't be able to flash it until tonight tho.

Maybe by Friday I'll be able to get my hands on the Sidekick again.

Sounds great. I need all the feedback and help I can get.

1) Back up data (you will see why, below);
2) Make a list of all installed apps and their source (Google Play, Amazon, etc.) so they can be re-installed later (you will see why, below);
3) Perform a Factory Reset (this wipes all data and installed apps and brings phone to a "like-new" state --this is reason for steps 1 & 2)
4) Install a Task Killer. Easy Task Killer Advanced works well for this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobo.task.killer -- this not only kills background tasks, it also keeps a record of what is killed so you can easily keep a record of what apps keep re-loading into memory.
5) Root the Phone (help on this is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1128); This allows access to the phone storage area where you can remove bloatware apps (like DriveSpace) that continually load in the background, eating up valuable resources.
6) start removing apps (again get help from the XDA forum for guidance) try MOVING an app (especially those from step 4) from phone storage to SD Card, then reboot the phone. if the phone starts working in a weird way, put the app back. Keep trying this with different apps until you are satisfied.
7) start re-installing apps --try only installing the apps you really need. move as many apps as possible to the SD Card. if a non-essential app forces install in Phone memory, uninstall it. only reason to keep an app in phone memory is to use its Widgets.
I have done all of the above on my own Sidekick 4G and the phone works much smoother.

For #6, do you have a list of apks you successfully removed. I removed a lot, including the logmein services and any apk with the word "test" in it. I have tried removing some others that I think I don't need, but many cause problems. I wish we had a list of all the removable junk (or that ROM cookers would just remove more apks from the system then they do)
For #7, I have to disagree. Apps load faster from phone memory for me, even with a Class 10 uSDcard. Phone boot up is faster (media scanner is much faster, you don't get ugly icons while waiting for them to be read off uSDcard, you can run your apps immediately after boot instead of getting "App Not Installed" until the are read off uSDcard). If your uSDcard dies on you (happened to me twice) your phone remains the same (I also like having the ability to swap uSDcards on-the-fly, like if I am on a trip and have multiple cards of movies).
We have plenty of space to hold ~80 apps and that space it just wasted if we don't use it. I have actually started doing the opposite... integrating more important apps in to system. That way there is even more space on data for other apps, and I can avoid having any apps on the SDcard at all (and still have plenty of free space in both system and data).

ok, heres what im going to do in the next week or so, im going to take time to figure out what apps we dont need through testing and remove as many as possible, then i will put it up for flash. we will see if i can get the zip down to 120-140 mb in size

why thank you....alot of work went into it...making sure code was done properly as well as building with gcc 4.8 for rom and sabermod 4.8 for kernel really finely tunes and optimizes the rom just perfectly

Now that it's out into the open!! The best ROM used since forever. Get 16k+ scores on antutu and whatnot. Very stable and have had no raging temperature sores. Definitely the best ROM out there. Period.
Credit goes to R3V3NT3CH for all his hard work and time spent on the development of what might be just one of the best phones with a physical keyboard till date..

You all are awesome.... Glad I can develop for you guys....more goodies to come soon...been spending the last week on prior device I developed for as I promised that community some updates and stuff...

There actually are a few glitches that I'm noticing, now that I've had time to play with the phone. Is there a way to disable certain services / features to get the phone to run a little better? What I'm looking for is something very bare-bones; I don't need any bells or whistles. For example, I've disabled all the animations that I could, but are there any other tips to make the phone a little more responsive?
Another problem is that the phone doesn't want to update to a newer LS, it says "Invalid ROM (liquidd2lte) & device (apexqtmo) combo!"
Any ideas?

the reason it wont update through settings is because although the relay is a d2 variant phone it is not unified for any of the d2 variant updates....hence why for now its unnoficial and not unified or seperately branched on liquids end for updates.....as for wanting something very bare liquid is not meant for this as it has a huge multitude of customizations....try using slimkat and flash my kernel over it and im sure youll find what you are looking for

Hello and thx for the nice ROM, only KITKAT makes my phone useable.
Unfortunately i have some issues.
1. No deep sleep after charging, i have to reboot to resolve that.
(performance menue changes: cpu limit to 1458 on boot)
2. Email only imap and no way for option dont delete from server?
How i change to some kind with no delete from server or better which app work?
(k9 app don't have this option, gmx app have this option but activate the option do exactly nothing,
the mails are still deleted).
3. Gallary don't show photos that took with app Ucam, same if photos send by bluetooth.
I have to reboot to see the photos from the last session (media scanner only scan at boot).
4. TrackID with optical issue, i report a video if nessesary and i inform me about HowTo take a on screen video.
5. No undervolt possible, the performance menue told me my device doesn't support undervolting. Checked that behavior with some tuning tools, same issue. All tweaking tools tells me Kernel doesen't support undervolting so i deinstalled the tools without changes. No worries, i have some uv experience with xperia pro
I installed your new kernel yesterday (B14CK1RD v. 1.1) and repplaced the original one from LiquidSmooth but unfortunately the issues are the same.
Only 1. and 3. are realy important for me.
and again, thx for the nice LiquidSmooth
