It is working on mine. V09 MIUI and V02 kernel from Doom. No issues so far...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
Its working for me also without any prob..!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Any updates on this kernel?

@Doom: Is it possible to integreate the battery tweaks of the MIUI_BlendKernel into your kernel? Like this, we could benefit from you flexible kernel along side with the great battery-tweaks of JasonStein! ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
the last i heard Jason's battery tweaks were to remove overclock and all additional governors....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
..ya dat wil b great...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] brezzz:
I have heard that this kernel is very good for battery life, Does it have to be used with a miui rom, or can it be used on stock?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dildikodil:
i guess since this is the doomkernel miui version it is for miui rom. there is a the doomkernel for stock too btw.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] brezzz:
cheers for the reply mate, yer seems stupid reading it back but read somewhere else on here that someone was using MIUI poweraving kernel with stock 42
[Xperia Arc Android Development] S L A Y E R:
Any Update?

Doom, can you please update this kernel in touch version please, thanks:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
no i dont know... i am thinking of stopping development of this MiUI kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] S L A Y E R:
thanks anyway
[Xperia Arc Android Development] laual:
Please don't Doom. Or could you maybe help me out with the basics to compile the kernel for MIUI? Thanks for your work anyway :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
Doom,

I understand your position. But, could you please review your stance and update your kernel when MIUI for ICS is released? I guess we'll need a new kernel for that.

Anyway, thank you very much for all your help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thats what... i am waiting for official ICS update... but dont know how long that will take...

once ICS comes out/CM9 gets lots of bug fixes then ppl will start work on porting new ICS MiUI...

may be then i might reconsider...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] h25p:
DoomLord, could you please post your latest Kernel Config for this MIUI Kernel? Can't find it on your git...

Thanks in advance

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mohannad-K:
can u explain why cpu show me 1 ghz? i have arc s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
read my DooMKernel thread for stock GB... i am getting tired of explaining this
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mohannad-K:
sorry but Please be patient :D can u give me the link for this thread ? and what do u mean by GB?:confused:

IM NEW HERE SO I DON'T READ ALL UR POST
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Arc and Arc S has same kernel but Arc S is overclocked to 1.4. Doom is working with Arc kernel so the stock setting is 1 GHz. So if you 1.4 then you need to use SetCPU or No frills and change the clock value to 1.4 Ghz

P.S. Don't use caps on your post ... It's disrespectful people will just ignore your post and move on
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
GB = Gingerbread (Andoid 2.3)

thank you too

Hello DooMlorD !

Pls update DooMkernel ISC for MiUi, tks in advance
[Xperia Arc Android Development] S L A Y E R:
Doomlord already move to another forum, I dont think he will update miui kernel for ICS - this thread is abandoned, what a waste :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] anthraxter:
People like that fag Mohannad are making doom pissed of and we loose development. I think i gotta start killin lame script packet kiddies again. Gotta love em :|
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well this kernel was put on hold because it is difficult for me to maintain different kernel sources for stock, CM/MIUI... if MIUI works on the stock sources i can maintain this kernel...

and anyways now that ICS is released i doubt many ppl are going to use GB based ROMs...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurnage:
How about updating this kernel for miui4 that is based on stock? That would be super awesome ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] slimmer2:
MIUIv4 based on Stock ROM and the DooMKerneL for ICS works with MIUIv4
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Thats good news, so I don't need to separately maintain miui kernel :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] X-Droidinary:
HOLY CRAP!!!! I can't believe how fast this is coupled with the DiMIUI ROM. No lag at all that I can remember and if there was then it was very minimal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] boris03:
Hy Guys,

Just having my note since yesterday. Everything fine but I am not really impressed by the speed - I mean it is not really what I have expected!

Opening Apps is not so quick as with the Galaxy S2, and scrolling in contacts or in the Explorer is not really smooth. May Galaxy S is much smoother.

Is there anything I can do before the first ROMs are getting released?

Thanks for your feedback
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
You have 147 posts and still dont know where to post.

Also please search.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jodeltje:
This should be in Q&A as it has nothing to do with development...

BUT: it is less smooth than sgs2, don't if it is actually slower, But I notice it too.

I guess It'll get smoother with newer builds... and if not, the hardware acceleration of ICS will definately fix this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
Use launcher pro for now...ramp up the scroll and. Opening speeds in settings.

You can use Spare Parts from the market to change transitions speed. I don't see any slowdown in things like contacts. All seems quite zippy to me...

you can read this thread where they make it play an mp3 with a script or read my post where you can play a wav without changing anything.

it would be amazing with the galaxy nexus animation if there is a 480x800 version of it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] danchise77:
download your sound clip (must be in a wav form) place it in System/Ect.... make sure you rename the file to PowerOn.wav (Cap P Cap O)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:

Sorry for that. I have seen that in some ROM's in the past on HTC mostly. I dont know if someone has the ability to port this selection. It was under Wireless & Networks (Menu button) -> Advanced Settings. And it had a wifi signal bar where you could calibrate it between Battery life ----|----- Signal Strength. So yea... If someone can port it, it would be the only way.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MirrorMan22:
Hi

HTC wildfire, standard android 2.2.1

Due to the battery not lasting to my route destination (30 mins) I bought a bigger battery for it - 3500

I am not happy that I cannot use the phone for more than 30 mins without losing over half battery

by using I mean, internet, the odd email check etc

I charged the new battery overnight min 15 hours, no green light, approx 80% charge

I have just placed igo8 on, put the phone in the window with gps on and have just got into amber after 50-60 mins

HTC say they will pick the phone up and see if it can be repaired/replaced with the usual - if it hasnt had water ingress or obvious damage

the phone is about 6 months old, is 2nd hand (to me) and hopefully they will sort out the problem without charge but I think this is a big if.

1 hour with gps on, phone in window, no sim, 60 mins on extended battery

is this to be expected on a normal phone ?

ps. have done the usual apps off, vbrate off, 3g off, low backlight etc etc
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
There is still no confirmation of what causes this. For a few people who sent it to HTC, they said the "chipset" is faulty and has to be changed (Which costs as much as buying a new phone).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236844
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MirrorMan22:
Thanks for the reply.

So this is a common fault?

I have contacted HTC and they say they will have the phone picked up for repair, I assume at their expense as long as as they say it hasnt had water on it
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
It seems to be one. Browsing over the forums, it's definitely more than an isolated issue. Initially, it was thought that it was one of the consequences of rooting, but it isn't.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Romeo20:
Hi Forum,

My wife bought a Iphone 4 last year with a 200MG/ month data plan. She gave her Iphone to her nephew. She told AT&T that her Iphone was broken. She has been using my old Samsung Vibrant with no issue from AT&T, for several months now. I got her a used Infuse yesterday and was using data. AT&T sniffed it and sent a text message.

( Did you know an eligible data plan is required for your 4G Smartphone? Pls call 611 to select a plan and establish your 4G data connection today.)

Do any one know what AT&T will do if she continue to use the Infuse?

Thank you in advance for your opinions, and knowledge!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
They are going to add the data plan to your account. You have a choice currentley between 200mb/$15 @ overage rate of 200mb/$15, or 2gb/$25 @ overage rate 1gb/$10. if you dont call and choose a plan they will stick you with the 2gb/$25 rate.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Romeo20:
Thanks!

So the options are pay more for data or back to the Vibrant! Do you think calling them and explain the situation would change anything?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Call them until you get a rep that does what you want. That usually does it, haha. I'm sure this situation could be no exception.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
You can try calling and yelling all you want, theres always that small chance you may get sombody to bend a rule for you. However it is at&t's policy that with all smartphones you are required to have a data plan, so understand you are on the losing side of the battle and can only HOPE sombody bends the rule for you to allow you to continue with no data plan.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Romeo20:
She has data plan, 200 mg/ per month for $15. AT&T want her to have 4G data plan.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
well than your just on the wrong 200mb/$15 plan, pricing is same for 3g/4g devcies the feature code is just different. call and get it fixed so they dont change you to the $25 plan or somthing stupid
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Romeo20:
Thank you all!

I resolve the issue with AT&T. After over 30 minutes on the phone, AT&T rep said that I need to provide the SIM and IME number of the Infuse. The data plan is still the same which is 200 Mg/ month for $15. As first, AT&T tried to hook a new 2G data plan. I did not complaint or yell; in fact, I was very polite. I stated that the Vibrant was not getting Voice mail notification, and that my wife hardly use the 200 MG that she has per month. Anyhow, a bit of patience and gratitude seem to do it, this time!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ssa2204:
Back when I got my HTC Tilt I had a very annoying situation with them. At the time of contract signing I was told I had to have a data plan. 3 months later on a night I was not even around my phone I had a $200 data charge for megabytes upon megabytes of transfer charges. Complained to high heaven, and had ALL data service cut to my line.

Fast forward to this past Sept, got online to upgrade our two phones. Well it seems I got lucky and got an Infuse WITHOUT any data plan. Kind of annoying I have someone trying to text my photos...wink wink, that I can not receive. However our other phone AT&T was kind enough to automatically add the data plan (most expensive one of course) without indicating this. Only when we got the October bill that I saw this. *** I just hate these mobile carriers with a passion. Been years of bend over and take it up the arse with this fools. Actually had AT&T try to change terms AFTER a contract was signed.

Honestly folks, with these phones how having Google Voice, we have actually talked about saying FU to ALL carriers and just using the internet. Yeah, so I cant call when I am driving...dont want to talk then anyways. Just anything I could do to give these **** the finger.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i wouldn't imagine they can do anything if you didnt buy the phone on contract. but if you are on an iphone unlimited plan they might try like hell to get you off of it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
Are you referring to the terms and cinditions YOU signed, which actually state subject to change at any time without giving notice?

I also want to remind you, you can also leave att at any time
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
If you buy your smartphone outright, paid full price, they can not make you buy a data plan.

But, you then "can not" use your phone to access the internet or e-mail unless on WiFi. Or they can/will force a data plan on you.

Texting and MMS are part of the Phone plan not data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
unless you have smartphone exclusion, get a dumb phone, put the infuse on that sim card and turn off data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justinfedor:
If u are in contract with att and you buy a phone out of contract u are still required to have a data plan as long as its on an active acct.
