[G2 Android Development] RenderBroken:
Yea that's kinda the reason why its still labeled R6. R7 is kinda a test build to me. I wanted to see what everyone's mileage would be running it. Also no, I don't believe it to be unstable at all. Do I think sound has issues? Yes, I have mentioned that already. I don't get massive lag either. Also the only lag that a reboot fixes is lag from a memory leak. I am running OSE with no such issue. Also I don't reboot my own phone but ever 3 days or so for good measure and even then its not really needed. I do agree that it is too conservative for Daily Usage while others think its fine. Still I will not be using those settings out of the box for R8. DO i think that the ultra conservative settings caused lag for some users? Yes but that is a pretty easy fix Lastly MrDarkKV was not saying that the reason ppl are having sound issues or lag were caused by bad downloads. He was talking about ppl that say they cant get it to download at all and not providing anymore info than that. He was just reiterating that we do, in fact, have a way for ppl to check MD5 and such. One more thing to keep in mind, when I say that you are in the minority, I mean that when I look at the amazing numbers of downloads and I compare the number ppl that everything runs fine and reports on XDA and the number of ppl that have issues and report on XDA. Its really just a handful of ppl. What I have correlated is that its mainly VS980 and D802 users. Also I do take into account that there are ppl out there that will never report how they are running and could have issues but They found me (mostly) through XDA so that means they know how to post and they should know that I don't mind criticism and actually appreciate someone letting me know when something is wrong. So with that I would imagine there is no pressure for them to tell me that something is, in fact, wrong. So I think the number of pl that have issues is pretty accurate while the number or ppl with no issues is not reflected properly on XDA when I take into account the actual number of downloaded and site visits which is pretty staggering to say the least. That's not me gloating but really me being dumbfounded with the number or ppl that have downloaded MY kernel. Also I take into account that the actually differences between R6 and R7 are pretty small too. The main things I changed with R7 was I tried to add in KEXEC support but it was borked by a typo, Sound Control Changes (Cause of reported sound issues) and ultra conservative settings.

I have no idea why my kernel works and the baked in one doesn't. Could you provide a link to the file you are talking about? That's interesting. Still I do appreciate the report. R8 should be solid. I am really looking forward to releasing it. I have been working on it and fixing minor bugs with Synapse along with trying out some new functionality. Its been pretty busy lately. I am hoping to have something by tomorrow if all goes well. I have tomorrow off so I am looking forward to some rest and android development! Sorry for the long post but thought I would clear some stuff up.

PS: I hardly ever check MD5. I think I have done it once in my whole life! lol #BadHabits
