AFAIK -internal flag it' s non destructive.

It's just a way to mount the filesystem

regarding the photo thing...I have no clue since I'm not using the internal flag, and I have just used it for testing purposes.

is not necessary to wipe data partition unless you came from a different rom type.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Yeah, the only thing needed is a clean /system and boot, so updating to a newer nightly would do :)
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
Is out...!!!!!:D
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
No it isn't, there are the celebration ROM (not official), and then a test ROM, but no official RELEASE!
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
I do have the same issue (can't access ext sd via windows explorer, and i mean the drive not the _ExternalSD folder). This sure worked with the earlier version. I use the internal flag since it has been implemented :)
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
here:

http://miuiandroid.com/2011/07/lg-optimus-2x-development-rom-test/

This is not miui celebration...is from official miui,a test rom but from official sources
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
Also _ExternalSD folder is empty when accessed on the phone via a file explorer.just reflashed the kernel,no success.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
*facepalm*

Didn't you read my post? I mentioned that there was a test ROM, but not a stable release...

To remove internal flag, one must flash CM then kernel without the flag :)

And before that, could one of you get me the contents of /system/build.prop and /system/etc/vold.fstab ?
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
Are you unable to read? He said release. MIUIUIUIUIUIUIUI is a piece of **** anyway.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Please read before posting, I already told him.

Also, I respect your opinions, but word them in another way. I don't want a flamewar over MIUI starting...
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Sorry for double post, but this needs a bump.

Hey guys, kiljacken here again..

Time for yet another update to vorkKernelUpdater.

As usual, here is the changelog:

v0.4 Jozin z Bazin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9MTGNaEXGM

+ Add error report button

* Tweak ad position, to increase fill rate

You know the routine :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
You forget the best feature! Youtube link in app (on version "field")
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
Oh i don't want to remove the internal-function at all, i love it. Will try to reflash the latest nightly + kernel. Attached find those two files.

edit: okay, reflashing CM and kernel fixed the issue. can access externalsd again via file explorer on phone and pc.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
I see there have been a lot of changes to the CM7 kernel recently - are there any changes that you will be merging to your own kernel?
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
No changes pushed to github. so not until they are pushed. CM Github link .. No new update since 4 days.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
My mistake. What do the "update prebuilt kernel" messages on this page mean though?
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
This is the compiled kernel. No kernel source. The kernel source is on github and it isn't tracked by gerrit (and so no updates in cm-nightlies.appspot).

In other words this means that he compiled a new kernel and haven't pushed latest source yet. It maybe adds the voodoo sound driver with proper credits. But who knows. We need to wait till source is released.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Oh! That makes sense. So he pushes the compiled version of the kernel before making the source available?
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
Yeah only a outdated source is available and he does this not everytime. Mostly he pushed it before the kernel is in the nightly. Yeah we have to wait...
[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
until you get a Market account, I think you need a QR thingie for the download app.

Here, try this:

:D
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
It's linked in first post. Link will stay always the same.
[LG Optimus 2x] ironman159:
I applied your kernel and I can't see my external sd card what to do?
[LG Optimus 2x] FISKER_Q:
I also have the USB storage issue, i can get it working if i enable USB developement, but the freaky thing is whether or not it works, and i'm not sure what actually causes it, after a while the UI will just stop responding.

For example i enable mass storage, copy over a file, then after i disabled it i could not use the phone at all, it was just stuck at the usb storage menu.

I'll try check if any of those issues persist when there is a new nightly to flash.
[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
Yes, but for those of us too lazy to find our USB cables and type "adb push blah.apk" or to open the thread in a browser on our phones, a QR code is handy.

...also, I did it just so I didn't have to do either of those things earlier, so I thought I'd share my laziness :D
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Start with rebooting, if that doesn't work, reflash CM and then the kernel, and check again. If that also fails tell me which flags you are using :)

Try reflashing the latest nightly, then the kernel, and see if it still happens, if it does, please tell me which flags you are using :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
We added a error reporting guide to the first post. I hope you will read it and use it. It would saves us a lot of time and keep the thread clean.

Thanks

vorkTeam
[LG Optimus 2x] FISKER_Q:
Ok, i will remember that for the future.

Flashing #89 Nightly + EXT4 converter: USB Storage works fine.

Flashing #89 Nightly + VorkKernel (Flags: bitrate, ril622, silent, ext4 and uitweak): USB storage only work with USB debugging, and it can cause the hanging i described earlier.

Should we continue here, or should i use that error reporting that benee talked about?
[LG Optimus 2x] Kelvino9:
The QR code is super practical. Faster then doing all over USB cable and also more convenient than putting it in my Dropbox and download it from there. Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] ironman159:
Kiljacken I reapplied everthing but the problem still occours btw I am using MIUI and these are the flags:

-internal, -uitweak, -ring, -bitrate.

Thanks for your help!

Sent from my Optimus 2X using MIUI
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
Try with cm. We will and can only give support when they do a full release. Currently our scripts and kernel is fully tailored for cm7. Even if miui is using the same kernel, they could changed a lot of other things.
[LG Optimus 2x] ironman159:
Okay thank you so much! :)

Sent from my Optimus 2X using MIUI
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
LOL !

my idea for next release : flying spagetthi monster - the coolest transcendental being :p
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Sorry, we already have something for v0.5, and Benee's current job is finding strange videos xD
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
seems like he´s good at finding strange videos xD
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
In case you want to see his latest find, then go to YouTube and search ponponpon ,and see the first video xD
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Is it possible to flash a CM7 nightly onto an ext4 device without wiping /data?

My filesystem is currently ext4, I presume this is what is making the nightly I tried last night fail to boot?
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
I'm the master of strange videos :D And don't watch ponponpon. You're head will explode. Really strange stuff.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
If you flash vorkKernel after the nightly it shouldn't be a problem. If not you'll have to wipe both /data and /system
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Oh...

It wouldnt boot when I tried it, I thought maybe it was because the data partition was ext4 but the /system and /boot were now ext3 (I presume).

Will probably wait for a few more nightlies and then flash again, its pretty stable on 84. I even got good battery life today.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
ROFL ! Amazing ! This is the new kernel builders subculture ! great !

check this out, flying spagetthi monster vs. Invisible Pink Unicorn (I hope it´s not yours ?!?)

sorry for spaming your thread :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] BURNEE:
When I turn off mass storage it hangs for me too. I don't think it has anything to do with the flags cause I had it before I was flashing the kernel with any flags. I always thought it could've been a nightly issue but its true that I only flash a new nightly once a new vorkkernel is out. I have not tried anything to fix this - I don't use the mass storage option often.

Anyways, what has happened to me is - I turn off mass storage, I can do whatever I want for like 1 second and after that it just freezes - but not always. I am using the smartflash drivers from modaco on my pc, I dont think it matters tho.

My post is probably not helpful at all - I should do some tests and checkout the log, my first thought is - it could have something to do with the mounting.

Looks like there are only two cases for now(?) so it could be our sd cards, who knows.

PS I have not tried mass storage without usb debugging yet, I will.

How to use the vorkernelupdater.apk

Just download the apk and run?

Seems it should download something when i run it, but the progressbar just pops up, cant realy see its downloading anything, then it reboots to CWM, but does not do anything...or so it seems...

after running this is what the phone reports on my kernel...

2.6.32.41-cyanogenmod

rmcc@giskard #1

SMP PREEMPT wed Jul 20 12:36:39 WEST 2011

Suppose vor's not there yet?

Any idea?

EDIT: Seems my wifi was not working.. tried over 3G.. downloading now :)

EDIT2: Nogo afterall... downloads restarts,restarts to CWM, but does not flash... cant see the error since it "flyes" over the screen to fast..

Anyone?... where are the downloaded files stored? Possible to reboot and do it manually? Or is there anywhere i can download flashable vorkernel zip?
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
seems that You still are on CM7 stock kernel
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Try flashing vorkkernel with the -internal flag.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
The zip is stored in /sdcard/Android/data/com.kiljacken.vorkkernel.update/files/
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
i tried the app and its really cool but unfortunately not working for me and probably many others because when tebooting the sdcard is not booted. a shut down is needed for the sdcard to boot and therefore its impossible to flash via the app.

it would be great if there was just an option to download the kernel without flashong so we(the ones with the sdcard mount problem) could install it manually.

would also be awesome if you could implement pastimes screen fix so all buttons work normally.

why is it that with the gpu draw it still uses a lot of cpu when changing desktops? and how does that affect battery drain?
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
+1 for that!
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
Just do what i did... download the flashable zip from the dropbox link in first post..

Add the flags You want directly to the filename.. something like this... (flags are stated in first post) vorkkernel.20110721-uitweak-silent.zip

After that You just copy to SD and flash from CWM :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kelvino9:
That's what all of us had done before, but vorkKernel Updater is a nice and useful tool, so we don't want to miss on it.

An option to manual flash should be the easiest to implement so those who cannot use the internal recovery (I for example got all my personal stuff and Recovery backups and ROM zips on the SDCard and all the Android crap on the internal memory) can copy the Kernel to the SDCard by hand.

A customizable download folder of course would be the best ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
Ok. Because the app got updated and the new "jozin z bazin" version supports the internal flag completly (for flashing), having a internal recovery (the one with internal sd as default) is causing problems.

So if you guys have flash problems than make sure you are running the default rom manager recovery.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Customizable folder and manual flashing has just been implemented, now for verification of downloaded files, and v0.5 PonPonPon will be released :)
[LG Optimus 2x] THaltof:
Can I use this kernel for latest build of CM 7.1 Nightly - #89? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Yes :)

10chars

EDIT: Hmm, I think I'll just keep v0.5 for myself for now... Unless you guys REALLY want to have it xD
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
We Want it... Realy!! :-P
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
2 hours for a single response... Okay, I'll release it first thing in the morning (in about 11 hours)
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
Thats because im at the pub :-P

Priority juggling :-D
[LG Optimus 2x] Kelvino9:
Since I wanted both features so much I felt that I should chip in a Dollar for you to set up a dev account.

Sad to see nobody else feels the same way of helping you out in exchange for your FREE hard work :(

Eagerly awaiting the update.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Okay, but it'll still be released tomorrow :D

And also a big thanks to Kelvino9, for a very appriciated donation of 1$ :D

I guess I'll have to add a donator list to the app now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kelvino9:
My pleasure!

Could have been more, but I thought 24 others might feel the same way and give you something back instead!

Thanks to you and Benee for your awesome work on our Optimus 2X!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] THaltof:
I have a simply question. When I flashed this kernel and set CPU to max. frequency to 1,4GHz and run a Quadrant application, results was almost 2500-2700 points. This isn't enought with a phone with dualcore I think. Galaxy S II have more than 4000 points. Simply question. WHY? :D

Edit: I'm using a CM7 Nightly ROM and I think that when I had original rom from LG, results in Quadrant was higher. With original kernel without OC. Again. WHY? :D
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Many official benchmarks of phones use different IO increasing "hacks".. I have for example been able to reach 4100+ on quadrant with ext4, and could probably break the 5k+ barrier if I wanted to.. But that is not the case.

In my opinion benchmarks doesn't really matter. It's about how the phone feels, when it's in that makes me decide on features :)'

Here's quadrant to show I'm not trying too fool you:
[LG Optimus 2x] THaltof:
Which ext? this ROM using? And with which app I can have ext4 and in what is this EXT better? :) Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Ferrum Master:
Mhrmm, I also have over 4k quadrant score... download sd booster, it pushes the I/O (E-PENIS) higher...
[LG Optimus 2x] THaltof:
I have set 4096KB. Score 3676 points. Which vaule are you using? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
So...$10 donated :) Should be able to buy You a beer or a LARGE pot of coffe to get You through the dev-night ;-)

-Skål :)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Omg, 10$.. We sure have some generous people here on XDA, so I thank you very much.. Although I wont use it on beer or coffee, but on getting the updater app out on the Android Market, but in the end of the day, that will also keep my dev spirit up :D

Mange tak :D
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Sorry for DP, but this needs a bump.

Hey guys, guess what just got uploaded to the android market?

If all goes well, it should be installable within the hour.

And here's the changelog so you know what's waiting :D

v0.5 PonPonPon:

+ Improved error handling

+ Add manual flashing option

+ Add custom path support

+ Add zip file verification

* Internal SDCard now forces manual flashing option
[LG Optimus 2x] nomedor:
Great! But where is the link? The one in the first page doesn't work! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Yeah, I'll have Benee update the link later, I will post one when it shows up in the market
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
read again ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
Read his previous post again ;)

There is the market link :D

THe link in first post will be updated later :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Can't see it in the market yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Strange, I can see it, so you should be able to see it later
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
Just downloaded, first open ok, after that everytime fc

[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kiljacken.vorkkernel.update&feature=search_result
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
I can haz logcat?
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
K, I found it and downloaded it.

However... I flashed back to BB 622, so I wanted to reflash my kernel to get my RIL to match. I flashed with all the same flags, except for internal (previously I was using the internal flag, I wanted to try without it this time). So my flags were bitrate, silent, uitweak, 622, calltweak and ext4. It flashed successfully, but caused a bootloop, so I had to restore. I'll try again but with internal again.

EDIT: That caused a bootloop too.

Just to be clear, I flashed BB from 405 to 622, restored my nandroid backup (which included the downloaded app), then tried to flash the kernel again, twice. Both times unsuccessful.

EDIT 2: The one thing I noticed while flashing the second time (I paid more attention that time!) was that it mentioned converting filesystem to ext4. But my filesystem should already have been ext4, since that is what it was before.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
It "converts" every time, to make sure the file system is not corrupt and stuff. Also when one wishes to disable most flags, one will have to flash CM and then flash the new kernel with removed flags
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Cool.

Any idea why it might be looping? It was fine flashing from 622 RIL to 405 RIL. Changing back from 405 to 622 doesnt work, even with all other flags the same. Am I going to need to reflash to the latest CM7 nightly?

PS any idea if your GPU acceleration GUI fix has been merged into CM7 nightly?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Not really. Not unless I can get a logcat.

And no GPU acceleration will not be included into CM7 nightly, as we don't really think it works xD It's probably just placebo
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
Ah! I knew it...! to me has always felt the same:p
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
teach me, stupid me:p
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
No worries, just use the built in Report button when it crashes (You know, on the force close dialog)

EDIT: And BTW v0.6 is out too consisting of some small changes
[LG Optimus 2x] Ferrum Master:
Did you see the message from Paul, V10E kernel source is available. Might find something useful there maybe...
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Looking at it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
LOL... Your gonna end up with 10 new versions just today :P
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Would be nice if the V20 source was available too. But we'll have to settle with V10E.

EDIT: Flashed backtoext3 and nightly 92 tonight. How much slower is ext3 than ext4, in real world application performance?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
i guess you will not recognize it ...;)
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
just upgraded to v0.6

great app & great name ;);)

thx, LOL !!
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:
Was wondering, with #78 and vorkKernel 21 July, every time I check the free RAM in Settings -> Apps -> Running Services I always have at least 160 MB...awesome, but is it because of the deadline scheduler or that has nothing to do with RAM?
[LG Optimus 2x] Thief777:
Help please!

Night 90\91\92 + Vorkkernel - unmount flash card = freeze and auto reboot :confused:

flags - vorkKernel-20110721-bitrate-internal-ril622-silent-uitweak-ring
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
That's not because of deadline, deadline is an I/O Scheduler, that handles read/write operations to stuff like sdcard and data partition

Okay, have you tried the stuff in first post?

If yes, please reply :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Thief777:
I do not see variants of the decision, show in the citation
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Have you read the "Error Reporting guide" Subsection of first post?

BTW: We need a mirror!! Our chinese users are in peril, as dropbox is blocked by The Great Firewall of China!

Path selection isn't working for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Could I perhaps have some more information to as "how" it is not working?
[LG Optimus 2x] Krusher1973:
So that was no fun, I updated to 0.6, reflashed Kernel and got into a boot-loop :eek: Tried to flash the Kernel manually but the same issue.. Wiped cache and everything but still the boot-loop :eek:

Reflashed rom and ITS ALIVE again *ticks more gray hairs*
[LG Optimus 2x] Kelvino9:
Tested everything and path selecion is working flawless here. All the customized Kernel were in the selected folder on my external SDCard.

Also the FCs of 0.5 are gone in 0.6 and Voodoo support is finally working for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] maini85:
I was so waiting for this :D sorry wasn't my brightest moment :o

I'm on #92 with vorkernel(-internal) flashed. just wanted to try the awesomeness of the app and download the latest kernel with all my flags to the root folder of my external sd card. chose _ExternlSD in the selction dialog and "select this path". but the file is always downloaded to the default app path.
[LG Optimus 2x] Pxoeb6mU:
Same with WGE 7.8.2 + vorkKernel (at least since 2 versions).

Also, if I do a power down through the power menu (or the phone shuts of because battery is low), holding the power button does not turn on the phone, have to remove/replace battery first.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimDroid:
Im also experiencing this. All the same flags but the internal flag.

It started with cm7nightly90

I have flashed my device with cm7 92, and with the vorkkernel. I also changed to ext 4. When i Upgrade to cm7 93, will my device boot for me to change the kernel to ext 4
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Time to update? :) The v10e code have been merged with lge-kernel-star for awhile now and it seems, with a quick look, to fix the drop in battery % (or atleast so it doesn't power off) among other things.

Did also notice they haven't updated android_device_lge_p990 with the new kernel yet, so maybe it's not even working yet?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
For ext4 you must flash vorkkernel JUST AFTER flashing the new CM nightly, as the nightly build wont run without the -ext4 modification that vorkkernel provides

AFAIK, Benee is working on it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] crazy_dj:
hmm seems like it , I installed vorkKernel through the updater ,too .. including the ext4 flag...
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
Hi, no matter what, phone is not booting up after flashing vorkKernel

I wiped all, installed Nightly #93, and then flashed kernel manually with -uitweak flag.

And when i select reboot from recovery, it goes to LG logo, and then blank screen[no button working]. Does not even reach to boot animation.

Tried it may times, with full wipe, kernel re downloaded, but no luck.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
What rom did you come from? If it's a ext4 based one, you should go into mounts and storage of your recovery, and wipe both data and system. That should help :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
I had GR1 Modaco, then Installed CM7, booted up perfectly. Then downloaded kernel from vorkUpdated manual flash setting, went to recovery and flashed kernel.

And after flash it wont go more than LG logo. If i flash CM7 back, it works.

Also when i flashed kernel, phone was not booting up, but even it was not going to S/W upgrade menu (vol Down, without battery)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
But you can boot recovery right? If not what about nvflash mode (vol up + vol down + no battery, with no visuals, but appropriate usb driver should pick it up)?
