The main problem with my G2X is the sleep of death, which happens a lot. I get occasional reboots too, but not too often. I tried flashing EaglesBlood 1.05 and then CM7 nightly (7/6), which I'm on now, and I still get sleeps of death and reboots, with perhaps reduced frequency but still bad. Maybe it's the battery, though I don't have overheating/charging/battery drain issues, so I'm not sure what the problem is and if it's hardware or software. Any advice on what I should do would be appreciated - thanks!
I enabled "stay awake" and flashed faux's oc kernel and haven't had an sod in weeks on the stock rom.

Wouldn't that drain your battery much faster?
Also, I only seem to get the SOD when the phone is charging overnight, and I have a damn screen off profile set to underclock too, not even the lowest frequencies either so it cant be the freeze that that causes sometimes. Tho when it does and I figure out it is frozen asleep, it is usually hot. Might have to either get new battery or replacement. Tho what seems to heat up the most is the area around the camera, so I don't know if the battery or CPU are to blame.
No. Stay Awake only takes effect when your phone is plugged into a power source. Give it a try. I used to get 1 SOD per day. Since i made those changes I've had none in over a month. I posted the same thing in other SOD related threads but no one seems to care.
Thanks regP - I enabled Stay Awake and it seems to help. I've only had one SoD since. My new theory is that it relates to heat (leaving phone in the sun, running too many apps etc.). I've also noticed I don't get an SoD at work, where I get no reception and it's air-conditioned...might be related.
You also need to flash Faux's OC kernel. Even if you dont OC it gets rid of the faulty 300hz frequency that is believed to be part of the problem. Do that along with stay awake and you should not see any more SOD or reboots.
I've noticed I only ever got SOD when using any different kernel than what's in the original ROM. I have been on CM7 since RC1 and have been updating each nightly since and not touched the kernel and have not had a single SOD since, even when charging overnight. Only when I would try Faux kernel or Trinity kernel I would get SOD's.
I dunno then. completely stock for mean means sod and reboots. gingerbreak leak means sod and reboots. stocks + days kernel and stay awake means no sod or reboots. buddy of mine also cured his problems the same way.
For me stock froyo and gingerbread solves the problem.Initially when there was a call waiting sods used to occur, not in any other situation.I tired latest cm7 nightly with fauxs kernel,MIUI with fauxs kernel (and yes wiped cache , wiped dalvik cache and fix permissions and stay awake) but still sods.Then the stock froyo / gingerbread solves the problem for me.Hope this helps somebody.But my point is can I install the stock kernel with cm7 or MIUI ?.

no, miui and cm7 are both built from AOSP code and thus won't work with the stock kernel.
I guess I got lucky... never encounter the SOD or Reboot. Running cm nightly 163... I only update nightly when I notice major change only from change log.

So can you suggest any other kernel I should try to stop the sleep of death ?
I have two G2x - Stock Froyo and kernel, manually restart once per day - no SOD or async reboots. Both G2x did suffer from SOD (with or without heat) and reboots. Manual restarts are not as sexy as 3rd party kernels and roms, but it works.
My wife uses her G2x as an alarm clock - she gets in beds, manually shutsdown the G2x, restarts it, plugs into the charger, and it wakes her up in the morning. EVERY DAY.

my sod issues stopped when I enables "stay awake". never used anything but the included kernel of whatever Tom I decide to use.
What is the best solution for this? Makes me think i wasted good money on getting 2, for me and my girl. I tried that "stay awake" and same, shuts off out of nowhere. Ive flashed both faux kernel, same results. I dont experience it with CM but for me, stock its just more responsive BESIDES the shutoff. And Weapons rom just has too much addons.. Now people are saying that the SGS2 isnt all that because of benchscores.. And i wanted that phone.. But they make it seem like it isbt a big step forward.

Thanks for this. I'll be sure to use the "Thanks" button when i have enough posts. I'd been leaving the phone screen on in my pocket (using an alarm clock app) because it would SOD anytime i used the lock button. Working better already.
I keep on getting SODs ONLY when there is a call waiting in the background and this happens only with CM7,MIUI.When I flash the stock gingerbread or even weapons G2x,EaglesBlood ROM the sods that occur during call waiting vanish. Can anyone help me here ? I tried fauxs kernel along with Stay awake and increasing the minimum CPU frequency but failed. Any help will be appreciated.
For the people that SOD occurs on the charger, try another charger (instead of stock LG charger). I tried the Motorola micro USB charger which put out only 550mA (which came with the H730 bluetooth) and the SOD vanished.
Probably over heating with the LG charger which puts out 1000mA
I searched the forums and couldn't find anything regarding this issue with sgs4g...
I have have tried several ROMs (stock GB, ICBINB kj1, Valhalla, Octane), and all seem to be laggy in terms of the screen actually turning on when the power button is pressed. I don't know if this is an issue with customs ROMs or if it's the phone itself (though I don't think it was as bad with stock KD1). It only takes about a second or two for the lock screen to appear, but most other phones i've seen are pretty much instant. Any thoughts on speeding up the responsiveness of lock screen appearing? I wasn't sure if v6supercharger works for GB roms so I haven't tried that. It's just annoying having to wait to check the time. Thanks for any help! And I am VERY new at all this so please be detailed if you have a solution
Currently I am running
Valhalla 1.3.2 (GB KI3)
Drhonks KI3 kernel
Adrenaline shot vXIX
Are you using set CPU or some other program that can set custom battery levels? If you have your phone set to throttle down to less than 400mhz when the screen is off then it will lag when you wake it up.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Nope. No special settings to adjust CPU Does anyone have a sgs4g that wake up quickly? If so what ROM or settings?
Interesting, I have the same issue. Figured it was just me. Seems sometimes I have to hiy the button a few times before it will come on.

I think that happens to everyone.
Samsung just makes their buttons differently, you actually need to hold them down rather than bump them unlike most phones.
GB is still not official, but I think that it may be because of the CRT on animation.
Yea, it very well could be the CRT animations. Though even when I first got the phone it wasn't super fast in waking up. Oh well, guess its just a Samsung thing, thanks for all the tips and thoughts! On the bright side, I ran v6supercharger on my phone in an attempt to fix it... It didn't fix this issue but the phone is almost twice as fast lol. If anyone still has a fix for the screen-on lag lemme know, otherwise thanks everyone!
I just assumed I had been to punishing on the power button when I thought I had bricked my phone that now it responds slower lol. But I have noticed the same issue that some times I must press it twice to get it to wake. Glad to know it maybe an engineering issue with the actual button rather than a side effect of wear and tear. Would like this phone to last another year at least.
I am on black ice stable, and this doesn't seem to happen to me. I remember it happening to me a lot on gingerbread roms though. I suggest to get rid of any task killers, the apps have to stay in memory if you want them to load up quick.
I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2 and my phone wakes up instantly. The only time I have ever had any lag was when using setcpu to force the clock speed down when the screen was off. It was annoying as hell, so I dumped it.
To define what I consider no lag.
Hit power, screen comes on immediately, swipe miui lockscreen, there is the desktop.
My phone does it faster than I can read the sentence.
Valhalla 1.3.2
Honks KJ1 Stock Kernel w/CWM / EXT4
KJ3 Modem
XIX tweaks
V6 Supercharger
Go Launcher EX
UV @ Dsexton's Values

Note: I only recently add the V6 Supercharger and it made no difference to wake up time for me.

Thanks for letting me know that it is possible. I run the exact setting as you, except kernel KI3. I'll try flashing KJ1 and see if it helps. Otherwise I'm stumped. Thanks!
So I just rooted my Nexus S for the first time and started messing around with custom ROMs and kernels.
I'm starting off with CM10 M2, and I've noticed that a few features seem to be disabled regardless of which kernel I'm using.
Under the Advanced settings for my Nexus S, the option for Deep Idle is greyed out and cannot be enabled.
Also, over in the display tab of Advanced settings where you should be able to controls colors and such, everything is greyed out as well.
If I recall correctly, the screen color settings were only clickable when I still had the stock kernel installed, and with both matr1x and marmiteCM they were greyed out. Deep Idle seems to be unavailable with all three kernels.
So is there anything I can do to enable these settings? Is it a kernel issue? Will deep idle work properly on my phone and save me battery life?

Have you fixed permissions?
Deep Idle is not compatible with Jelly Bean (at least it wasn't)

You mean through Clockworkmod Recovery? I haven't done that yet because I think I've read somewhere that it can cause FC's and other problems.
Is it safe?

Many kernels do offers deep idle or are working on it. It has a history of not being stable so it is a work in progress.

Well, upping this thread.
I'm experimenting with roms and trying to install different kernels. And I've got same symptoms — in Settings/Advanced disabled everything but BLD tuning.
Using CWR 6.0.1.0, latest marmite and matr1x, several CM-based roms (starting with CM10.1 M1).
Tried full wipe before/after installing kernel. Tried fixing permissions in CWR.
Main thing I need from there is voodoo colors, otherwise I'd just use nstools.
just got my oneplus over the weekend and i notice most of the custom roms have alot of lag for me. no matter what mods, tweaks or kernels i flash. the scrolling mod fix did help but i just don't feel the device is very smooth coming from my htc m8. any suggestions or thoughts?
More information about your set up. How and where do you experience lag would help.

Yeah this would really help.
My bacon setup. is really fast with zero lag (better than the M8), so I am not sure what setup you have right now that would be causing this...
Scrolling lag. Opening and closing apps. Just overall sluggish. Right now im on mahdi rom with the auxx kernel. Stock speeds. Zen + smartmax. Tried many other roms and configs. Was even worse when i was on the ak kernel. The only roms that dont lag are the alpha 5.0 roms.

Do you do full wipes between ROMs, and did you have this lag on CM11S before you started going custom?

Yes i always wipe. Might hard reset and flash factory. Start over. See if that helps.

Yeah that is really odd, I mean I get nothing but smoothness on this phone with pretty much every ROM I've used, currently on the latest Carbon nightly...
My device also lag so much, to the level when there can be 2 sec delay when I scroll on home screen with nothing open (only Google apps installed). The weird thing is when I first got the device is seems ok, then flashed 5.0 Alpha and then a couple of other ROM like PA 4.4.4 and then back to stock. Now even on stock (100%), I am still getting so much lag it is unreal. Some other issues: sound breaks when watching youtube, and sometimes screen freezes and phone reboots.
Is there any way to change the vibration intensity on OP 7 pro? Do I have to modify the build.prop or is there any app I can use? I am running stock kernel with root.

ElemenalX kernel.. enough said
Like he said, EX Kernel. The stock Kernel is set I think to 30% and you can set it to 70%. Going above 70% causes a bad vibration noise that may damage your phone. 70% is significant. If you can't hear or feel the vibration, you might as well be dead.

Nope not that I'm aware of. Honestly if you like stock kernel you will love ex kernel. It's based on stock with ability to tweak some things.

Odd, it's stock kernel with the ability to change and tweak a few things. Never had an ex kernel be anything other than as smooth if not smoother than stock.

After trying all the kernels this one definitely didn't feel as smooth for me. Clean install too
changing the vibration intensity in EX manager seems to change the vibration type rather than the vibration strength. 30% is stock and 40%-100% all felt like the same strength, but with a different vibration duration/pattern
