I think that works the same way it does on computers. Depending on your network.

So maybe there's a similar trick to bypass this as you can do with a computer using a proxy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE : Just had a look on Google and didn't find anything related to your specific problem but there are plenty of people having troubles with the market and the non-availability of some apps in their country. Some managed to solve this using a US-based VPN. Maybe you should try that.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishan Sardar:
Sorry for creating this thread as I didn't really find all the information I need by searching it. These question may sound very noobish but I don't really know much about it so here goes nothing:

1. Is there a really fully-working version of ICS for x10? [I'm asking that because Dev "Feravolt" has been talking about his next rom on ICS]

2. Is this version of ICS is like the official vesion of ICS [I know that its not officially released for x10 and its ported]

3. Is it compatible with locked bootloader?

4. Where can I find the fully working version [Latest]?

Thank You!!

Is it overclocked?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
No, its not overclocked.

Its on stock, will add overclock patch later, but defualt will always be stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GenghisKhan67:
Just for clarification: if hardware acceleration isn't yet included, what advantages are there to install this kernel over, say, faux's? Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
Actually this is completely different kernel than faux kernel.

This kernel is not based on CM sources, it is based on kernel version 3.0.26, one of the latest in linux-3.0.y. If you guys know, Samsung Galaxy Nexus uses, kernel 3.0.8 in stock, this is kernel 3.0.26.

Faux kernel is based on CM sources linux-2.6.xx.x .

And there are no advantages as such, but deep sleep is finally working perfectly in kernel 3.0.y versions. So maybe better battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuck24:
Working great on AOKP..... Battery seems a little bit better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joeyxl:
the stock CM9 kernel has no HW accel, right? if so, i need this kernel for the voodoo, as stock CM9 doesn't have it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
True, stock CM9 do not have HW, neither do this kernel. And tegra2 devices will not have HW accel until Nvidia releases sources, or LG/T-Mobile release office ICS Rom.

Yes this kernel do have voodoo sound. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Appreciate your work. Thank you. :)

If you could please, in a timely fashion, provide the source to your changes and place it in the OP before the GPL police find out. ;)

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thendless:
Will there be a CM7 version of this kernel at all?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
its already in its main thread in O2x, added it here too.

No, not planned at the moment.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chillwill11:
Nice!!! You work fast

Edit: Starting to like SIO, antutu benchmarks went up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Been following this project for awhile on other threads. I've been very impressed with this work. I've been curious about something, though, and didn't want to post this question in one of the main development threads.

What is the feasibility of upgrading the kernel to 3.1,3.2, or 3.3 series? For all I know it's completely impossible as I'm sure they had a reason to use 3.0 as the base for the project. I do find it interesting, though, that 3.3 comes with "android support" (not that I really know what that means either :D).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
yeah they have stated that next version will come with android support, it would not be 3.3, but would be 3.4. With more android related patches.

Guys even 3.0.y was a difficult task to port to tegra2, as no source, all thanks to wkpark and his awesome talents. I think your question can be better answered by him.

But code in 3.0.y to 3.1/3.2 has changed a lot, so would be very difficult to port, specially without any other android manufacturers not having 3.1/3.2 as base make it near impossible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Thanks for the quick response. Ya, I was just curious more about if it was a possibility. If it takes a year or more, then that's what it takes. I have complete respect for the difficulties in porting something that's never been ported before.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mk2rimar:
so far so good...tks dev
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Well...I can say this gets about 500 points higher on Quadrant 2.0 than Faux SV kernel. I didn't think it was fair to compare it to the OC version.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
For me reboot works fine.

right now trying on fixing sd card read speed issues, write speed for me is 8.5MB/s constant, but read speed just 7 is too low.

Use SD Tools for testing speed of sd. Free from market.

Sent from my LG-P990
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wkpark:
this is a result on SU660/stock rom(V20j) + kernel 3.0.8

(I don't remember the exact i/o scheduler used, maybe deadline or sio)

in this result IO is about ~950.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
i can do a power off, actually the first power off i did rebooted the phone, but subsequent power offs shut the phone down as it should. but even after doing that a few times, i tried a reboot and it still hangs

as for the SD card, what class is it? that determines the r/w speed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wkpark:
I got about ~17MB/s for SD reading (reading ~10MB/s) on SU660/stock rom(v20j)

(internal SD. /mnt/sdcard on the stock rom)

check your "SD car info (/mnt/sdcard)" info on SD Tools.

(I guess /mnt/emmc is the internal SD card on Owain's rom)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
I heard from morfic about io a while back, he said is something about ramdisk??

I use Quadrant to measure.

OC is not tied to IO

Sch: Deadline
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
I change ramdisk and try, but it's hard to believe. I get low read speeds on all 3.0.y kernel. Need to test it more. Ramdisk from wkpark also same as mine

Sent from my LG-P990
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wkpark:
I guess you are using Aututu

Antutu show lower result than SD tools,

this is the result of the SD on external SD. ~8MB/s(write), ~18MB/s(read)

(class 2 / 8GB, but the result seems like class 6 :confused: )

but the Antutu shows ~9MB/s(write), ~14MB/s(read) (external SD. ditto)

kernel 3.0.8 + SU660/stock rom(v20j) + sio(v0.2)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
I just flashed your 3.0.8 kernel for P990, from openstar, still getting slow read speeds. Still below 10 MB/s in sd tools with kernel 3.0.8.

Something must be related to ICS and kernel 3.0.y, as you are using gb.

Sent from my LG-P990
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wkpark:
I got almost same result with ICS

(arcee's SelfKang3 + kernel3.0.8+deadline or sio + fifo_batch=1 tweak )

and I don't trust Quadrant score or Antutu score.

Its just for fun and provide some guide line.

the SD I/O speed things are almost identical across all roms.

you'd better to check other benchmark tools as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wkpark:
this is well known the "read_ahread_kb" tweak

it is known that

more stable, less speed < read_ahread_kb < more speed, less stable

so I just test it on kernel 3.0.8

/sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb for internal SD(eMMC)

/sys/block/mmcblk1/bdi/read_ahead_kb for external SD

external SD (class 2 :confused: , 8GB, FAT32, cluster size=32kB )

default 128 kB

~9MB/s(write), ~14MB/s(read)

512kB

~8.8MB/s(write), ~22MB/s(read)

1024kB, 2048kB, 4096kB

~9MB/s(write), ~22MB/s(read)

internal storage(emmc)

default 128kB

~11MB/s(write), ~18MB/s(read)

512kB

~11MB/s(write), ~21MB/s(read)

1024kB, 2048kB

~12MB/s(write), ~22MB/s(read)

(I got almost same result with kernel 2.6.32)

Feels like my phone liked the first harsh kernel..battery drains quicker with the next two reborn releases..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhmltn:
Hmm CPU speed seems significantly better (4600) in Quadrant benchmark with new 0304 build. Very nice (running with Owain's ROM).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] atb1183:
Did you tweak the /sys/block/mmcblk1/bdi/read_ahead_kb to 1024 (same for mmcblk0)? My current ROM supposedly had the sd read ahead tweak in an init.d script (which tweaks /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/bdi/read_ahead_kb) but had great speed increase when I tweaked the mmcblk1 value like Park did.

anyone with the new kernel care to do a SD Tools benchmark and post some pics? I'm running GB now so I can't try his new Kernel
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wkpark:
Harsh did some source level read_ahead_kb tweak. but it will be overridden by

init.d/* script.

and many read_ahead tweak script describe to fix "/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/bdi/read_ahead_kb" but Ive noticed that in some condition it is incorrect (I don't know why :confused: )

but /sys/block/mmcblk1/bdi/read_ahead_kb is always works.

(actually /sys/block/mmcblk1/bdi/read_ahead_kb symlink to /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/xxxx/bdi/read_ahead_kb)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
Yes I have read_ahead_kb tweak, set it to 1024.

when you check /sys/block/mmcblk1/bdi/read_ahead_kb after flashing my kernel it shows 1024. But still there is something bothering with SD Card Read speed, write is 9 MB/s, but read only 7 MB/s its not possible. Class 6 8GB SDCARD

"spica1234 call quality improvement patch"

hi could you elaborate on that change? was this to do with the "crackling/popping noise" that some would get in certain scenarios.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhantomRampage:
So am I the only one with freezing/phone locking up problems? The last three revisions of this kernel have made my phone lock up at seemingly random times.

It has locked up on me when trying to browse the internet (boat browser), whilst playing temple run, and twice now it has frozen on the lock screen alone without anything running, all requiring a battery pull.

My setup: CM9 Selfkang 3 + harsh's kernel w/ no undervolting or further tweaking

You need the RC0 Kang 35 ROM...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1570017...its the latest and greatest ICS ROM. Also, when you flash the ROM do it twice in a row, not sure why, but you have to. Then once it starts up at the home screen, asking for Google login, let it sit for like 10 minutes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cervantesjc:
what is the possibility of releasing this kernel for GB?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
Imperticus at O2X is working on GB version of 3.0.26, he would be adding 3.0.27 patch soon for O2X. I would ask him if he like to do that for P999 too, as P990 and P999 differ only little, so should be possible for him.

Maybe you can request him in PM, and if he asks provide him latest boot.img from latest GB CM7 release zip, to get GB ramdisk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cervantesjc:
Would CM7 boot.img work if that would be the case?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yuhfhrh:
I can't wait for the overclock patch! It will probably help with the few things that act sluggish on my phone such as updating multiple apps at once. Otherwise thanks and I love you! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] WizPappy:
Hello, although this kernel as news features, and seem very stable, it's also SLOW.

The SIO io scheduler transfer only 6m/s writing and 6.5 reading. Compare to 8m/s and 21m/s in deadly with a Faux kernel.

It is interesting to know that, the harsh kernel even with deadline IO in this kernel this speed isn't achieved. Similar results occur.

Witch mean the bottleneck is in the kernel itself. Probably in the code processing the IO itself.

At this point it is over my competence as I just program relational database software...

But with all the dedicated and bright peoples in this forum , I tough it was important to mention.

I'm sure someone will figure it out.

And if any time is available OC feature might be interesting..

Have a nice day
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Harsh:
Thanks for pointing out out, however I am aware of io read/write speeds, happens with all 3.0.y kernels for ics.

Shouldn't internal SD be the test point since its standard?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluenote73:
(Sorry for posting twice in a row, I hate that)

Harsh / wkpark I wonder if you guys could work some magic and solve a long standing problem with P999 kernel. I don't know if you guys do much operating your phone in bed with lights off, but (for example) reading an ebook in the dark is a painful experience even with color adjustments/filtering/etc.

I know some kernels allow a lower brightness to be used, even lower than lowest system setting - for example I use an application "RootDim" on my Xoom to lower the *actual* brightness quite a lot. This is not a filter.

I corresponded with the author of that app, and he told me that it won't work on P999 and is likely a kernel issue.

I dunno if this is a hard problem or a simple one, but I think you guys are able to fix it maybe :) Please consider having a look if you can find time :)

thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Solace50:
well i tried the kernel, it sounds cleaner but unfortunately the "crackling effect" during calls still is present. the last flaw of the phone that i can find that seems to not be answered yet ICS update alone solved pretty much every issue i could think of on GB so far. i guess its either a hardware issue or in the RIL/Baseband.
