I did try that.

Let it keep chugging from 10% till it died. I only use my phone on average 30 minutes a day, and I didn't use it much while it moved through and died, but what little I made sure to play with it it acted fine. No stability issues, everything worked fine, phone just kept going and letting me know that battery was below x%. Nothing weird.

I'll use it more extensively at the end of this charge.

Elite Kernel

Hi, I flashed EliteMod 120316 with the default kernel. Everything works very well, the best ROM I have used so far. Keep up the good work. :)

Question: will I see any improvements in performance if I flash the EliteKernel instead?

Many thanks for the reply.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aksuli83:
I got it installed and slightly OC'd... Games run well and browsing is about equally fast as my other phone (LG P990) so I'd recommend u to flash EliteKernel =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] flippy_:
Is there any way to disable the maximum screen brightness on the camera?

I've tried looking for a setting for it but haven't found it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xhitz:
oh ok, thanks I kind of figured once some of Freq weren't working..

But I'm getting pretty good battery life on my stock. Whats your Bat stats like?

And I have been debating to buy the battery still? Hesitant because I don't want(or think) that I would upgrade from this phone anytime soon.. still worth to buy?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Rom works great. Awhile ago I had a problem with apps being preinstalled. Nik3r recommendations fixed the issue. Thank you for that.

However, now I occasionally get "system has stopped unexpectedly" I got that error before also, but thought I'd give it another try. But the problem persists.

New ICS Kernel v69 in the download post (no pun intended)

* rebased on CM9 beta10 kernel (thanks to jerl92 - this guy really knows his way around)

* peak antutu score 4419 points on latest AOKP (only 1.8GHz for reference) - this is more than I am getting on CM7 EliteMod

* be warned: your custom voltage tables may be affected in such a way that previously ignored settings (due to possible bug) will now get really applied, this may result in instabilities if you undervolted too low. And it may also do absolutely nothing :D

I was trying shortly to get sd-ext to work - without success. I will try again next time I fool around with the kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chillout:
Hmm, I guess that's the bug we spoke about earlier in this topic... is this possible bug fixable in CM7 too?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Sorry this is not the same bug.

FYI: I am working on seamless sd-ext and swap integration in the kernel. You just plug in an SD with ext4 partition and this kernel will automatically migrate your apps from /data to /sd-ext. Seamlessly just like CM7 EliteMod does when it detects a viable partition.

Sd-ext part is already done but I will test this some more just in case. After this I think I am moving to ICS for good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New ICS Kernel is out v78

! READ THIS !

This kernel is highly experimental and is beginning to fuse in some functionality of actual mod. It may irreversibly affect your current ROM for better or worse and just flashing another kernel over may not disable the sd-ext integration or certain tweaks. Therefore do a nandroid backup before trying this! At least for the first time.

To revert completely, you will have to re-flash the ROM, gapps and another kernel of choice to really wipe all traces.

News:

- improved stability, no more FCs

- sick speed (never thought I'd say LWPs are actually viable now)

- fully automated sd-ext and/or swap integration ported from CM7 EliteMod

- sd-ext tested on AOKPb38 and CM9b10

(be aware that swap is untested at the moment but should activate; also I do not recommend for average user to use swap partition - you have been warned)

app2sd and swap activation information in next post so that I can link it :D

Enjoy
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
sd-ext and swap

1) First and foremost - nandroid backup!

2) Also this is only guaranteed to work via 4EXT recovery.

3) All your partitions /data /system /cache /sd-ext should be ext4 filesystem for best performance.

To activate sd-ext and app2sd:

- simply have ext4 partition on your SD card when you boot up

- all your apps will be automatically moved from device memory to sd-ext

- gapps should survive this process without problems, so no other action is necessary

- dalvik cache remains in /data for better performance, cache also remains in device for the same reason

To activate swap:

- first make sure you need it, I do not recommend using swap partition on AOSP android due to instabilities it may and will cause over time

- basically swap makes android keep more apps in memory, but as a tradeoff the longer your device runs, the slower (laggy) it usually gets as the swap partition fills up with garbage and even class10 card have hard time offsetting this

- To activate it, simply have a swap partition on your SD card when booting up, the activation process should be fully automated

Additional info:

Please note that to install apps to sd-ext, you need to chose to install to device memory. Device memory is replaced by sd-ext during the process. If you chose to install an app to sd-card, it will in fact go to the slower fat32 partition, not on sd-ext.

You may want to - once in a while - check all your apps in settings and move them from sdcard to device using the system management tools. This should result in speed increase as well as making you be able to use those apps while sdcard is mounted to PC.

Nik3r. You are the man. I mean the man.

Can't really play till morning, but this is getting flashed onto my AOKP B38 first thing :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
AGREED! about to flash with a new install of CM9(unofficial)b10
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Somewhat unstable on my phone now, random reboots cause apps to disappear. But if I go to install them again, it says they are still installed. CM7 elite mod
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Probably messed up sd-ext. First aid would be to make sure there are no duplicates in /data/app.

This can happen if you use sd-ext, then remove it, install the same app(s) to internal storage and then connect the sd-ext again. The internal storage apks would get moved. To sd-ext, where they already have older copy. Android hates 2 copies of the same apk with different name :D

Not likely it's anything more serious than this, just keep only the copies with higher number and you will be fine.

Hmm, nope no duplicates.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
In contrast i'm running the CM9B10 I mentioned earlier, fresh install, fresh sd card format.. put on your kernel before first boot. And it's all running like a champ! Fastest ics rom i've used yet, but unfortunately, cm9 beta by jarl has always given me more "issues" than andro. Camera is less reliable, strange random wifi issues, and occasional FC on daemon controller.. its a give and a take i guess, cus it also has some features andromadus doesnt, and vice versa.. but i'm definitely happy for now, likely will be my DD till eliteics comes out ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Try AOKP build 38, I'm getting 400 more antutu points over CM9 and generally it feels faster with apex :)

Hell I'm running My 3D Fish LWP, playing music and the CPU won't even sweat :D

i haven't tried the aokp version yet.. how is the camera? does it have any CM options like themes, lockscreen weather or calander date, or any additional settings?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Broman400:
It has all that and its much better than CM9, I went from andromadus to aokp and I love it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Camera works nicely as far as I tested, even camcorder records OK (480p).

And yes, it has most likely MORE settings than CM7 had, definitely worth a shot and I am inclined to use it as a base for EM ICS.

Plus it has a pissed pink unicorn everywhere, beat that! :D

Since the kernel has been stable for me, I am trying to build first mod right now. The original idea was to tweak performance but it seems it will be faster to take EM7 and port it completely, then weed out the platform differences. First proof of concept may be available later today, but don't hold your breath.

Preliminary benchmarks show over 4500 points on latest AnTuTu benchmark @ 1.8GHz. Stock CM9b10 peaks at ~4050pts and stock AOKP at ~4200 for me.

Not sure about stability but no apparent problems so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
I'll be sticking with cm9b10 till you have that together. Definitely enjoying it for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dragoth:
Im trying to get your Kernel running on my AOKP build 38. It runs fine.... but i am trying to squeeze out more performance and am trying to recreate your antutu achievements. But as soon as i go over 1.4ghz the phone freezes instantly.

I actually never had much problems with freezing on other Kernels. 1.6ghz was mostly my daily driver but 1.8ghz worked just as well for playing with emulators.

I just tested it with AOKP build 38 stock and am able to run at 1.8ghz totally fine. Can also confirm your ~4200 Score. I just cant achieve those frequencys with your kernel *verysadface*

I thought it might be, that your Kernel is undervolted and thats why its freezing? Tried to manipulate the Voltages using your UV_Tools but adb cant push the files over because it cant find the directorys (probably because of ICS and the tool was for GB?). Installed other apps to try to manipulate my voltage table... but none seem to be able to.

Do you have an idea what i might be doing wrong? Or any tips what i could try to do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Search this thread for "overdrive", it will explain a lot.

Smartass2 - it's so aggressive to save battery and still achieve best performance, that it's hitting the hardware limitations of speed of voltage switching. Use performance governor for benching and you can probably go up to 1.9GHz like me ;)

FYI: The progress on EM ICS is very good, I managed to port basically everything and some extras. DSP manager with a speaker profile, extended gapps, faster gallery (seems 10x faster than on EM7), extended tweaks. I'm weeding out installer bugs (sd-ext not taking properly) but with any luck it will be ready today or tomorrow.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buxtahuda:
Based on AOKP? Oh my what a lovely turn of events, AOKP have become my favorite (like, I'm obsessed with pink unicorns now :)) ROMs ever. I love the battery bar and the tons of other options, and now it's going Elite. Life will be good on ICS :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I am so sorry, the unicorn has to go!

It's interfering with my heterosexuality performance scripts :D

My girlfriend loves it - that makes me worried :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New ICS kernel is out while you wait for EM ICS.

The core is the same but I have implemented changes to make it compatible with upcoming ROM.

News:

- more reliable sd-ext (AOKP had stability issues due to bug)

- more speed (this is the version I benchmarked for 4500 antutu points)

Installation:

1) Wipe dalvik

2) reflash your ROM (necessary to stabilize sd-ext) and gapps

3) flash kernel

4) enjoy

The ROM is around the corner so you might as well just want to wait for it ;) I will make a new thread for ICS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
you are my hero

edit: have you ever tried screwing around with the flashable beats audio? I've got it working on CM9b10 with em-ics-kernel 78. It's a nice addition, i don't know how it effects DSP though. Also there is a supposed flashable bravia engine used in sony phones bouncing around, but i've heard mixed reviews about them. Just thought they could be nice additions :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Not sure, I use DSP profile only for speaker, to unflatten the sound a bit.

I suppose beats only activates for headphones? Does it noticeably increase CPU usage? Can't it break something? Try it on AOKP, answer these questions and I will see what I can do about it ;)

You should know I bought PowerAMP and it has its own powerful post-processing, may be the reason I never felt the need.

FIY: I'm on build 16 of EliteMod ICS, just tuning stuff and testing stability :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
beats seems to activate over headphones only.. there are 2 different versions i have tried, one puts in some apks and one is just libs. neither show a beats logo in the notification drawer, but both have effected audio for me when i plug in headphones... the simple library one has been more consistent for me though, the other seems to have needless apps and junk, perhaps they weren't sure how much was really "needed" so the ripped out a bunch of unnecessary files, i'm no dev so i don't know for sure.

Also, another add-on worth mentioning is the s-voice app from samsung. It requires some build.prop tweaking to get it to connect to samsungs servers, but it's a neat little app, although it's only reliable about 50% of the time, it locks up, or stops responding often. It's an apk and some additional lib files
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buxtahuda:
Lol, that's fine, I an always change it back. I just like to rep AOKP as hard as possible. I don't have a unicorn background or anything though, just the dark AOKP androids. But the bootani totally stays for me lol, in fact I may like to get the GlitchedAOKP bootani from the SGS. Steve is an awesome dev, he's really optimized that phone, but I like the slightly different bootani :D

Anyway, can't wait to see what you cook up.

Color of the signal icons?

Hi nik3r,

Thank you very much for your effort for this ROM. This is the first ROM I flashed after I rooted my G2 and I like it!

One thing I noticed is that, even if it's connected the Google service (ex. gmails are pushed to my G2 properly and I can listen music from Google Music without any problems), the signal bar icons (both Mobile Network and WiFi) are displayed in white instead of green. I asked a question in the Q&A section and I was told it has something to do with the theme. I tried Go Launcher EX's themes, but the icon is still while instead of green.

Do you have any idea why it's not green and how I can change it to green when the phone is connected to Google?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
so i finally was able to download the rom and finally was able to sort everything without problems... and it is AWESOME!!!

except for one problem i still have with AOSP, even of tje rom is sense like, it's still AOSP based:

the music playback lags... it's kinda embarrassing while hearing it...

so any thoughts? solutions?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
LMAO by bad I read AOKP not AOSP sorry about that, in that case the reply in ICS thread is not for you. Still valid problem though :D

In CM7 I have never had this problem but some people did. It's caused by similar problem - some heavy app is stressing the CPU or I/O and the buffer can't keep up.

Look into your player's settings if you can increase the audio buffer size. Or find which app is causing this stress. Or you could try increase the minimum frequency of CPU.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
ok, i can increase the buffer size and its priority...

but can i use the solution in your ics post as a second solution?

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
No it will probably bootloop your device. It's completely different problem, similar but the cause is different.

If you're using poweramp, set the buffer to large or huge and it won't ever skip. Thread priority I think is not the problem here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
im on player pro, and i just set the buffer to maximum, and the priority to highest... just in case, you know?

Too high priority may cause wakeup problems while playing, in case that happens.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
When all current kernel-side issues are resolved for ICS version, and I deem the performance acceptable, I will probably update this one last time using all the new tricks. I'll only say I had some new stuff in testing phase that I never released before I moved to ICS but that's enough spoilers :D

But actively supporting both is a big no right now, I have other projects to attend to that actually pay the bills, the new ICS already stretches my multitasking abilities as it is :p

Not exactly what I was asking, though I should have worded my question differently. Want to know if there are latest changes to the CM7 kernel not included in this one, since it is behind the latest CM7 Nightly. I know it will run, I want to know is it up to date with the latest CM7 kernel changes, if there has been any since the last time this kernel was updated.

Hi guys,

I'm usually only in the Samsung section at XDA but from time to time I read some threads here to flash a new ROM for my girlfriends Desire Z.

Since there are no flashing instructions in this thread, this must be too easy :)

Can I flash this ROM like an normal CM7 ROM? (Havent so far. I only got root and s-off at the moment). If yes I will have to read a guide for this.

And I dont understand point 6) in the OP. So after the flash I have to wipe data and cache before AND after flashing this ROM?

thanks in advance :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aksuli83:
Just flash with CWM recovery =) Simple as flashing CM7. And about 6) I didnt even wipe data or cache after flash.. Still everything working on my gf's phone. And I can recommend this rom, good for battery and fast too, I used this rom to compair my LG and Z in every day usage (like browsing heavy webpages) and it was just about as fast as LG without OC and Z was OC'd to 1.2ghz..
