Don't look at one benchmark score but overall smoothness and performance.

I can OC the sh!t out of every clock but I refuse as I believe a kernel needs to be 100% stable and because not every chip is got the same quality build I need to find the sweet spot for everybody.

I did not OC the secondary clocks (like in sithlord) as I believe 100+ points is not worth the instability it can bring.

I think if you can play a game like NFS at default speed with no lag then I think my mission is successful. And the low default voltages are more important then higher clocks , I can even UV -50mV on every frequency.

Tweak the governor to your needs , you can do this also with setcpu , there you can change the values of the interactive governor. I included the lulzactive app because that one explains what it changes and what impact it got.

Please use these apps.

It is impossible for me to build a kernel with every possible setting

, that is why I include the app or give the tips.

It is up to the user to share there settings to help others.

The same with the terminal commands , they are there to use so test and experience what it changes to your feeling.

Make screen off profiles

(that is why it is so important that the MAX=MIN frequency is fixed), this can safe a lot of battery.

Second , don't ask what is the best rom or kernel in a rom/kernel thread as in my opinion it is not done. We all do this for free so that alone I think is worth a thank you even if some revisions of a kernel/rom isn't that great.

In my opinion the RF1.0 and upcoming RF1.1 are the best that I brought as a noob. An yes that is what I am , trial and error is my teacher. Smoothness is much better then previous kernels , benchmarks a little less but I explained why.

And LG swap size , well maybe I can make more options but that will need to be tested and will be for a other release and not the RF1.1

Now enjoy the weekend and I hope to upload the RF1.1 this weekend , they are build but don't have the time to upload now. For the SU660 users there will also be a 24RamHack version available of RF1.1.

RF 1.1 will bring snappier lulzactive governor and terminal commands like explained a few post earlier.

I know it's actually impolite for us for just asking what to be have done etc...for me...i wanna help as much my capability does...even just as beta tester...

And i know..you want the best as in everyone does....and i feel as just what've you said...it's smoother...i can play a game that must oced before to be smooth and now i don't have to oc..i can even uv it....i just can't explain how happy i am...and i believed everyone too...:thumbup:

CivZ_SkyWalker_RF1.1 released

More aggressive lulzactive governor settings on user request

New terminal command for LG 131Mb swap

New terminal command for manual updating GPS lto file

Also a SU660 version available

96ZRam disabled by default from now on (not needed in my opinion, swap already got 131Mb on unused partition, but it is still available as a option)

Enable/Disable LG 131Mb SWAP:

(Enabled by default)

Terminal command:

su (enter) swap_on (enter) = This will enable LG swap (

Reboot

is needed to apply changes and sticks after reboot)

su (enter) swap_off (enter) = This will disable LG swap (

Reboot

is needed to apply changes and sticks after reboot)

Note on LG swap:

LG got this enabled in the stock LG rom and it uses the dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (unused partition) for it so not the same as ZRam that uses /dev/block/zram0

file

. The LG Swap partition is enabled by default , I just add this command so if a user don't want to use the LG swap it can be done now with a single command.

Update GPS lto

(this is done automatically with a init.d script , so in case it failed, here a way to do this manually)

Terminal command:

su (enter) gps_update (enter) = This will update gps lto file , if the file is not older then 5 days it won' t update.

[LG Optimus 2x] civato:
New beta RF1.2

@ post above : I don't have any problems with values sticking even after reboot , did you check apply at reboot.

I know RF1.1 was just released but I here is a new beta for the people that want to test some stuff.

Just had some new ideas and some good suggestions of users (ivaneris) that with my noob knowledge I could implement like the new terminal command to increase swap on the lg unused partition.

RF1.2: (Please see this as a test version !!!)

New max OC of 1544MHz (please test if it is stable and also try with UV)

New OC code update, I hope this results in even more smoothness & benchmarks.= My first test confirm a better user experience and benchmarks.

2D GPU clock back to 400MHz OC

Terminal command to enable 260MB swap on /dev/block/mmcblk0p4, so this doubles the LG default swap of 131MB. The command is su(enter)swap260_on(enter).

Dynamic FSYNC updated to the version pengus77 released.

Enable ARCH power again (let's hope that it doesn't cause any problems any more)

civz terminal command updated to show all possible commands.

RF1.2-LowPower = same as above but lower rail voltages so please test for stability on max OC.

I mean 1 benchmark run , quadrant , Antutu and games at performance governor.

Download see attachments (beta version only available in 24RH)

Thanks for your new experimentals!

My results after first low power beta tests(with no terminal changings):

Quadrant/Antuto with no CPU app: 3169/6886

1544Mhz interactive/noop: 4598/8672

1544Mhz performance/noop at first slow and low on quadrant (3300), but after reboot 4627.

1544Mhz performance/noop gave me 2 hot freezes in a row with antuto!

Edit: Another freeze when leaving XDA app.(1544, lulz/row)

Will try the not low power edition!

R: [KERNEL]CivZ SkyWalker_RF1.1 (MAX OC 1.5GHz) for ICS / New bootloader

@civato do u personally will use 131 or 260 of swap?
[LG Optimus 2x] civato:
I'm using 260 for now as I believe it is way better then before 131MB LG swap + 96MB extra ZRam , I don' tuse the ZRam anymore.

For testers , remember that running one benchmark after the other at MAX OC will result in app closing , freeze or reboot.

This is normal as benchmarks are not a real daily situation and the phone will protect itself by turning itself off if needed.
[LG Optimus 2x] mark_hatred:
Here is my experience which may emphasize more on what brother galpec stated.

Not just a few days ago I was trying to find a Kernel for my phone that can match a stock ROM of P990 for my SU660 - Yes i'm trying to find one which is stable and can be used for P990 roms on ICS partition layout. As we all know the SU660 section is already on its ending days, Aragorn has his device retired already and wkpark already left SU660. I would like to convert to a P990 so that SMS and localization issues here in my country can be solved. It's has been a very frustrating and very time consuming trial and error for me to find a stable one. Then it came to my mind to ask Sir Civato if he can try to make one for SU660, he never hesitated to help and from his words he said that he will just "try" , After a few hours that "try" came to a possibility, and not just a kernel which can cope up to the custom Stocks for P990. A synced version of Skywalker of P990 to the latest release for SU660. Now combined with the ROM that IMHO to be the best, like LOL what else can we ask for, A hope came to be an overkill and everyone else that already knows this on the SU660 section is already enjoying the hardwork of Sir Civato. So to Mr Civato and to this post, thank you very much for making a bridge for SU660 on to the P990 section. The flashing days is already over and I can now snap the back cover of my phone back in place ROFL.

Love and respect to Mr. Civato
[LG Optimus 2x] ahnuc:

[LG Optimus 2x] civato:
New test - RF1.2 - probably this is the release version.

CivZ_SkyWalker_RF1.2_24RH (see attachment)

Changed some more Voltage settings , 1544MHz higher default voltage so more users can reach that speed if they want to.

Rail voltages raised a little , not much so it is still close to LowPower beta version.

I mainly tested at default settings , 1000MHz/interactive/noop for gameplay.

No lag for me , I also tested Templerun OZ on highest settings and no problems and no need for OC.

The new OC code changes are doing there thing in my opinion.
[LG Optimus 2x] 2thor:
Only positives to report after testing CivZ_SkyWalker_RF1.2_24RH :)!

Overall seems more snappy and improvements on full site browsing (especially with crome browser)

I am avare that high OC benchmarking is not so related to normal use, but reported my frezes on your beta's

because never has frezes while testing your previous kernels.

Current settings: 1300Mhz Lulz/row, 260 swap, no fsync, no zram.

Great thanks for your work!

10-Mar-2013: ALL INFO ALSO IN OP.

CivZ_SkyWalker_RF1.2 released

New Max OC speed of 1544MHz

2D GPU back to 400MHz OC

OC code updated

New Terminal command to increase LG SWAP to 260MB

Updated FSYNC with latest Pengus77 release

Enabled ARCH-Power

SU660 24RH version available

"civz" terminal command updated with latest commands

Note on LG SWAP increase:

Remember that on stock LG rom the default LG swap is 131MB. If you change kernel that doesn't got this terminal option and you changed the swap size or disabled it , no problem the swap commands are installed in system/bin so if you didn't delete them you can always use it. This does not count for other terminal command that come with the kernel.

the script 05zram doesn't run at boot.

At first I thought that I solved the problem by adding "busybox" before "mknod".

With that the script works successfully if launched manually (./05zram).

But after reboot if i check with "busybox free" I can see the script didn't run.

Neither do another script that I made.

Info RF1.3

Cleaned out the kernel code as there was some crap added by me while learning this kernel stuff.

Also preparing to commit GitHub properly so every change will be shown to the Dev or user that wants to know.

Changes in upcoming RF1.3:

-USB plugin BSOD fix by NVIDIA added.

-Changed settings of the "deadline" scheduler so it perform better.

-Added powersave governor.

-Changed some settings in the -03 flags. (should be smoother, my test version is in my opinion)

-Cleaned out the kernel code. (restarted from scratch with a V30B clean stock code, I also did this to make sure my future commits on github would be 100% correct)

release: Hope this week if I got the time and I want to do the github stuff also correctly this time.

Sorry sir, I didn't think init.d was rom-related.

I'm on stock V30A, I successfully managed to add init.d support with this app made by a fellow xda developer.

I would advise everybody

on stock rom

to update Busybox though, otherwise the 05zram script could not work due to missing symlinks.

Another strange thing, I restored a nandroid backup with the stock kernel and I got a Encryption Unsuccessful error message at boot.

Then I flashed your kernel and everything worked :victory: don't know what was the problem though, maybe cwm 6.0.25?
