According to this article, not necessarily. http://techlogg.com/2010/05/black-vs-white-screen-power-consumption-24-more-monitors-tested/17

Our G2 has an IPS panel. Of those tested in the article, the ones with IPS technology actually used slightly less with a black screen. That being said, the difference is still virtually nonexistent. So it won't matter either way. It would be nice, though, if we were somehow able to reduce the power sent to the backlight. [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION], is this a possibility or are there hardware limitations?

I remember telling my friend who has a Galaxy S5 about the Lux Auto Brightness app. I brought it down to -70 on my screen and he brought his all the way down. His screen was darker than mine because of the backlight. Even though mine had darker colors overall from the filter, the blacks on my screen were still much brighter than the ones on his.
[G2 Android Development] d_Schizzo:
The option to reduce backlight is already in STweaks.

This option is only to reduce backlight when it is already dark.

But you can see, that it might be possible to reduce backlight also when its more than 100Lux. Maybe [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION] can built it in with a separat slider.

But IMO you will not see that great benifit if you reduce backlight.
[G2 Android Development] Formhault:
Lol, this is getting much bigger of an issue than I initially thought.

I think this is out of [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION]'s grasp. We should not dive into the realm of LCD drivers, but leave this to LG instead. LG software engineers can at least do this good. The other stuff... leave kernel devs like Dori fix & improove :) .

RIP English, right there...
[G2 Android Development] sjk971005:
Hi [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION], and thanks for your great Kernel. I've been using it since I purchased this phone.

I think this question has been asked before, but I don't recall seeing a reply, and cannot seem to find it through the search box.

I am using the True Stereo Mod in the Android Development section but the bottom external speaker is louder than the earpiece even when set to -10 in STweaks. Could you please enable the slider to go down to -15?

Thanks, and please continue your amazing support. The G2 will not be the beast it is without you.
[G2 Android Development] dorimanx:
done that already in 9.7 :)
[G2 Android Development] Formhault:
[MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION]

Before you removed higher current options from charge control tab in STweaks, the phone was able to draw more than 1.6A from the charger.

Now... since 1600mA is maximum... it draws 1.55~1.60 Amps max. :(

I am unable to test wether this is true or not, as the earliest version available on your website is 9.2, which has 1800 and 2000mA options removed, as well. But I come from AOSP, and [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION] has those options enabled, and the phone really is able to draw up to 1.98A (from a Samsung 5V~2A charger).
[G2 Android Development] gozzaa:
yep, i can confirm that. i also meassured the current drawn by my g2. it was indeed up to 2A before the limitation to 1,6A.

But i think its better for the lifetime of the battery if we dont charge at full current.
[G2 Android Development] Formhault:
Yes, it is. But if you need fast(er) charge, you won't care about that. Besides, who cares about battery life THAT much and intends to keep his / her G2 for >2 years?
[G2 Android Development] x3m.zone:
Me!
[G2 Android Development] Formhault:
Then I suggest you charge your phone at maximum 1 amp, and never allow the battery to go below 20% or above 80%. That way, you might have to change the battery in 3 years from now.

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

The whole reasoning behind 1800mA and 2000mA options being removed was that the LG G2 does not accept currents higher than 1600mA.

I have a charger doctor and can confirm that the G2 does charge at up to 2 Amps, provided a 2A charger is used and the proper settings are made.

Heck, the phone might be able to charge at up to 3 Amps, as well - Snapdragon 800 is QuickCharge 2.0 capable.

So, [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION], could you please add back 1800 and 2000mA options? :)
[G2 Android Development] sjk971005:
Wow, thanks for that. I haven't got around to transferring 9.7 from my laptop to my phone and flashing but I guess I should do that now.

Keep up with your great support :)
[G2 Android Development] dorimanx:
I will restore but set default to 1600 in profiles.

You can set higher.

I have been rooting and moding phones and tablets for 5 years, and one of the best kernels ever seems to have just bricked my phone…

Flashed 9.7 from TWRP 2.8.4.0 and rebooted into;

Wow, for 5 years now. Not bad... And you are not able to flash the right version or search xda?! ;)

Go back to recovery via phone-buttons comination. Combination might be different and depend on which bootloader (kk or jb) you are.

Then flash right version for your phonemodel and reboot.

Just a quick question...

I want to try some of the new AOSP/CM-Based lollipop ROMs. Will I still be able to use this kernel? Or is there different kernels between KK and lollipop?
[G2 Android Development] dorimanx:
Ahhh....

Push long long long power. Till black screen.

Then power and vol down.

Then quick release and hold again.

Recovery will load.

If you have kk bootloader, then

Power + vol down.

Quick release and hold vol up + vol down

Till recovery load.

To load download mode, you need to connect usb and power + vol up.

But then you can only default your device to stock, killing all data you had, all of it...

[G2 Android Development] citytrader:
Now I understand why Dorimanx sometimes respond in the way he do... :D
[G2 Android Development] FAFE ANDROID:
And why is that.... do you buy a g2 for battery life? I buy a g2 for performance, if I want battery I buy a Nokia and have a week of battery. ... we have 3000 mh, I don't complain about battery is great, not need to be improved, now performance need for be ahead. ....
[G2 Android Development] dorimanx:
No its not.

You can start building your own kernel, and tune for performance for you only.

Simple no?

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 Android Development] snowlin:
this kernel provides options for you to balance your phone however you like.

if you want performance then up the clock speed. try some different governers.

regardless, youre getting better battery life + preformance using this kernel than you would staying stock.

[G2 Android Development] FAFE ANDROID:
Here is the man..... if I have the knowledge I do.... but I don't have.... and I'm grateful to all devs that do the best they can, including you, but I'm only reporting what it's happening, and what I would like that this kernel do... but like the kernel is not mine I'm begging you for have more attention about performance and give less important at battery, because battery is already great. ... but you are the boss....

I'm always using.cloudy.roms.with dorimanx kernels and.no issues with root, currently using CloudyFlex 2.2
[G2 Android Development] xanthrax:
You can always boost the performance by either switching profiles or manually adjusting some parameters

Basically, battery saving is harder to achieve than performance, reason why dorimanx is doing it for us and most of the users, when trying to save battery they create instability... Agreed?

I would go for battery life rather than performance because most of the time, the tasks I perform doesn't require too much power

If I would need it I would just switch profiles

And btw, in which situation have you noticed lack of performance?

Don't mention the antutu scores because I will... Please

[G2 Android Development] FAFE ANDROID:
For not mention antutu like you said. ... opening apks, Tom Tom, Igo and others... I will make a challenge for you... if you have GPS Tom Tom try open the apk whith stock kernel and then whith custom kernel at same clock speed, and see who is faster. ... look at the spening well, and how many turns it does... custom kernel is slower at same speed, but do your test and make your own conclusion, I dont criticize for nothing, I am very thankful for devs and I always use there work, but I don't say ok when it's not....
[G2 Android Development] dorimanx:
And that what bother you, tom tom, its not really my problem.

You can always use stock, no one forcing you to be here.

My point is, that if you need to wait for more 5 sec till app open, then you have to wait.

I dont care about bench apps and time to open app.

I care about fast response to low and min load and battery saved.

Its a phone, not game station and not pc with cooling and lots of ram.

Dori my friend it's your kernel, your rules. ...

But all the time I install a custom kernel was for performance and then for battery life... I had a s3 whit boefla that kick ass

In s4, but I already see that is not what matters to you... I don't understand why they complain about battery, mine it's great... all we know that smartphone have to be charged every day, when we sleep phone charge. ... the important is that last a day...

I will continue watch your work, and maybe one day you change your mind and put a rocket kernel, because battery is already good... sorry for something and have in mind I appreciate your work, and I'm thankful. ..

[G2 Android Development] jeyd02:
Just curious. What kind of performances are you lacking?
[G2 Android Development] HueyT:
He's probably talking about Benchmark numbers.

Anyway, I love my Dorimanx 4.6 and CloudyFlex 2.2. Works great. Fast charge works well. Kernel is stable, smooth, and fast.

I don't care about Benchmark numbers. I'm too old to be in a pissing contest with someone else's phone.

:good:
[G2 Android Development] II_DiE_4:
I understand what are you trying to say. But.

Opening and closing an app isnt rly a true comparison of kernels.

Different things going on in different situations. Background services and apps, gps trying to use the location service, even the scheduler is important in reading from sd card.

Custom kernels are there to give you the ability to tweak the options for your needs.

I can set to you the min freq to 1.5ghz and have blazing fast phone.

Probably its gonna burn in 3 months but whatever.

You have the options to tweak the kernel how much you like it. Play with the gov/sched combos and even the options of the same gov, like sample rate and up thresholds etc.

Creating a kernel to fit for everyone's needs is impossible. Thats what the major companies are trying to do, and thats why we need custom kernels.
[G2 Android Development] DerSpatz:
If you want performance, follow these steps:

Install Dorimanx' Kernel

Open STweaks app

Set OX MAX Freq to 2.8 GHz

Set ECO Mode on "All cores used"

Set "Core MAX heat" to 78°C

Set "CPU MAX heat" to 75°C

Set Governor to "Hyper"

Apply settings and reboot

Open TomTom Navigation

Find your next mobile phone retailer

Run there as fast as you can; depending on the distance either your battery will be empty or your phone will be overheated and probably FUBAR

Don't install Dorimanx' Kernel on your next phone!

I will not be responsible for damages you do to your phone by configuring it wrong...

Have you tried switching to ART, maybe your apps will start faster then...

[G2 Android Development] br0adband:
Recovery on the G2 is usually (at least for me):

- make sure G2 is off, hold the Power button for 20 seconds solid till it's totally dead

- press and hold Power + Vol Down till the LG logo appears

- as soon as the LG logo appears, continue holding Power but let go of Vol Down then press and hold Vol Down again

- within 2-3 seconds it should go from the LG logo to "Recovery Mode - loading..."

Download mode on the G2 is:

- same thing, make sure it's totally off first and no USB cable attached to anything

- plug USB cable into computer (PC, Mac, whatever)

- Hold Vol Up and then plug in the phone

- Download mode will then start with a small logo which changes to a full screen display in under 10 seconds, usually under 5 depending

That's about it.

I’ve been on Cloudyflex and dorimanx and

“getprop persist.service.btui.use_aptx” have always rendered 0 witch means its of…

[G2 Android Development] dorimanx:
setprop is TEMP set to current RUN.

when you reboot it's reverted to DEFAULT state.

and it's ROM related not kernel.

you can edit your /system/build.prop with GOOD text editor that support big text files.

and add that setprop at the bottom of the build.prop

then it's will be loaded on boot. and maybe actually do something.

[G2 Android Development] br0adband:
I would agree with that assessment; just used an image editor to check the colors in those areas with an "eye dropper" tool and the colors are the same (RGB values of 247) - there doesn't appear to be any yellowing or variations so, if you can see that yellow-tint with your eyes on your phone then it's probably a physical damage issue for some reason.

The screenshots are perfectly normal as far as I can tell, so I'm seconding the idea it's physical damage.
[G2 Android Development] ceza1380:
I guess it's not show up on screen shot. I didn't drop my phone or hit something to it. I had also no issue with heal. I don't know what's wrong. There will be something that Dori updated LCD drives in latest release?
