[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immi803:
There are many options with Snapdragon 820, i would rather recommend dori to select large battery with Snapdragon, else what dori decides

Anxiously waiting for dori upgrade, hope we see it soon
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CampfireVibés:
Not meaning to spam this q&a thread further with phone suggestions but i would like to suggest a lesser known phone that brings many revolutions in the same way the Lg G2 did.

It's called the zte axon 7

And here is why i think this phone would be perfect for dori :)

Dual front facing hifi speakers that are incredibly loud and crystal clear with dolby atmos

Full metal body ,rear finger print sensor, and capacitive keys

64 gb build in storage + dual sim / 1 sim and explandable memory slot

Snapdragon 820 & 4gb ram

5.5 inch 2k display (amoled)

Big 3250 mah battery with about 5.5-6 h screen on time

Will get its boot loader unlocked officially

20 mp f1.8 ois camera Camera + 8mp front camera

Those are just some of the amazing specs but here is why this reminds me of the g2. In many ways this phone has perfect specs however in videos it was shown that the multitasking performance wasn't all that great due to poor ram management and software optimisation in their mi favour ui 4.0

Similarly the g2 also has great hardware but only shines with a custom rom and doriman x kernel

I think with a kernel such as this one and a debloaded and more stylish rom this phone would easily be the best phone for the price ... Oh yes i forgot to mention it's only £350 and available in Europe, the us and many other countrys and comes with a 2 year guarantee for damage and theft etc for free

Lastly due to changes in android n it will have something called 'secure boot' build in which prevents a phone from starting up if it runs doggy software meaning many phones that don't officially support bootloader unlocking may never get custom kernels or roms etc. This phone won't have that problem :D

This phone could be the g5 we all wanted :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duki994:
MTK should seriously release good sources. Most of their kernel drivers are shipped as blobs. And sources won't compile.

I have no idea how they managed to do that. I think that neither do they :D

Although that phone is quite powerful, and pretty cheap for that kind of performance, it's opensource is a mess.

Seriously. Most of MTK kernel devs that wanted to work with it gave up. Maybe there are some devs that work on Sony MTK phones, as Sony almost always have clean and good source.

Revert in topic, new Dori kernel 11.3 and new sound driver stability update and I can confirm after 3 hours listening mp3 that is perfect.

Is a pain for my usage that data modem IRQ enabled in suspend introduced since 10.7 is not so battery friendly as 10.6 for my usage (2G and deepsleep) but 99% users use LTE, social apps and web surfing so is a step in the good direction. I will use 10.6 when I want great battery life and new dori kernels when I want new improvements in different areas (sound, net, free ram) switching from the two.

So after 600 hours of runtime on 11.2 I have to reboot the phone to install new version of kernel :) I was like bloating the ram all time time with many apps running in the same time. It had slowdowns but kernel held up very bravely :)

Good work dorimanx and keep pushing hard :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitardo:
Hello,

For a long time I was running CloudyG2 v3.3 on my G2, with this kernel.

Since I returned to the stock ROM not only I got better battery life, but also a more reliable system.

So, I highly recommend everyone to come back to stock ROM and use this kernel.

The system runs much better: fast and stable.

This is just my opinion. Every one is entitled to his or her opinion.

I admit Cloudy is more beautiful and there are shortcuts that every one loves. But stability and battery life are more important to me.

DorimanX kernel is rock solid!

Cheers!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatedman95:
Look, i'm really a newbie to this phone as i just got it two days ago.(Coming from a long period of Samsung's and one Nexus 7 tablet wich are not so complicated in terms of modding).

I just flashed the recovery on dori post.(twrp with f2fs and thermal).

I'm on stock 5.0.2 with 30D-eur (D802) rooted with xposed v86 and some modules. I own the 16 gb version (If that helps). Also debloated. (Had twrp 2.6 with autorec just before i flashed the 2.7 with f2fs).

I downloaded CPU-Z and my bootloader says it's unknown.

My questions are:

What do i need to do to get my bootloader to 20H to actually flash this kernel?(might need step by step explanation)

Best settings to use after flashing dorimanx kernel? (Mostly multi-tasking and battery,since i don't play games,just camera,music and apps)

Installed dorimanx app but i'm not going to do anything before i get explained.

I really appreciate If someone takes it's time to explain how-to basic.

Thank you in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romagnolo1973:
Use this app from playstore to check if you are root

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=it

if yes and if you can enter recovery with button combination (ON+Vol- and when you see LG logo release buttons wait 2 seconds and press Vol- and Vol+ say yes to the menu using vol to move and enter recovery) you are ready to fly :good:

You can download some somboons stock rom (the one with thai food name are the prefered here on XDA) or other stock based Lollipop rom. I suggest you H Rom from HTCMania.com that is stock with less LG things and a good theme. This Hrom include Dorimanx kernel in the aroma setting during installation so you don't need nothing more. Do wipe on recovery (not wipe internal data) and install the zip rom and reboot.

Enjoy your "new" g2 with Dori kernel and stock based rom

Dorimanx once installed give you and app to menage kernel settings, use as default without changing and see how good it is. If you don't play games than can reduce 4 core cpu to 1497 mhz this help a lot with battery and ondemand governors + alucard hotplug. This is my setting and is really batery friendly.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorimanx:
If you not sure about bootloader, then take it as ready zip from my mirror #2

Its at the bottom of page and its 20h for d802.

All the rest you can do normally. I mean use stock rom with my kernel, or try other roms.

Just make sure to flash bootloader only zip and my latest kernel after rom install via recovery. As most roms install bootloader and other kernel(stock most of the time)

And flash also recovery... As roms package include old or unstable recovery in some cases...

Have fun.

Hello dori, I have a question. Sometimes my battery drains way too fast and sometimes it drains normally. I think that it needs calibration.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duki994:
Try lowering GPU freq of it game desn't stutter. But it won't help you too much.

P. Go is using all your devices sensors in high resolution mode + GPS. That's at least 200mA drain more + CPU + screen. No kernel helps with physical battery drain frm sensors.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wesley32:
Posting here to see if anyone else is having issues with this, or if it is some configuration issue on my end.

first, I have a G2 D800. Just clean installed Cloudy 3.3 with Dori 11.3 kernel. I also have Xposed installed and Viper4Android enabled/installed.

So, issue i'm having is related to Bluetooth media audio. I can connect to Bluetooth speakers, my car, etc, but when I try to play audio is will only play out of my phone speakers. I can't ever get it to Stream the media audio to the Bluetooth device. it is weird because, like in my car, I can control the music app with the menu buttons and everything like normal. The audio just doesn't output to the right device.

Anyone have this issue? I don't know if it is a kernel issue or a cloudy 3.3 issue, or maybe something else?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogisha:
Cloudy roms should work with Cloudy kernels only.

Any other kernel, including dorimanx's, makes problems.

Stock kernel gpu min freq is 320.

I gave you option to save power.

If game is stupid and cant control correct gpu need. Then use dorimanx app to set min gpu to 320 before you play.

is there anyone experiencing battery drain during sleep lately?

lately - my device's battery drops from 100 to 85-86% overnight, and i can't find out why... (i have wifi always on during night - but that didn't cause problems so far)

i've tried GSAM and BBS apps to find the culprit - but it didn't show anything oversuspicious (apart google services activity)

i've also tried reflashing the rom (clean flash) - the screen off battery drain remains...

i was using somboons debloated rom, and now i'm on somboons latest stock 30f (manually debloated by me)

i remember when the device would discharge max 4-5% during night (8-9 hours time)

maybe the battery is dying on me... all in all - it's almost 3 years old device...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duki994:
May be battery, but check wlan kernel wakelocks.

Bad DTIM interval setting in your home WiFi modem/router makes that kind of drain with wifi always on for longer periods of time.

In my experience 3sec DTIM goes a long way in sustaining good battery life on battery powered devices (including laptops/notebooks) without jeopardising low-power WiFi connection sustaining.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60nine:
i was thinking that router might be the problem...

but my current settings are

Beacon interval - 100 ms (100ms is router's default - in 25-1000 range)

RTS treshold - 2346 (default)

DTIM Interval - 1 (default, can be set between 1 and 255)

so should i try changing some values there? any suggestions?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duki994:
No need to change beacon and RTS.

Just set DTIM to 3 or 5.

When phone is in deep sleep with wifi on, wifi chip checks only beacons with DTIM.

So when DTIM is set to 5, that means every 5x(*beacon time interval*) is a beacon with DTIM info. For you, with DTIM set to 5 every 500ms router would broadcast DTIM beacon. With 7, 700ms and so on...

Depending on your home network conditions set DTIM interval in range from 3 to 10. And see what's best for phone. If it has stable connection in deep sleep then you can push that number up until you see some network instability ;)

Hi,

As you had announced that you will not develop this wonderful kernel anymore, there are some steps that should be made in order to make this kernel live as long as possible.

Latter versions of SuperSU are easy to update, but what about busybox? You made your own compiled version which works wonderfully, but what should be done if some latter version shows in the future? Is there any way to replace your embedded one with the new one?

tried what you suggested - changing the options in router settings - nothing changed - still had 10-15% battery drain overnight...

installed Amplify pro to see what alarms/wakelocks can be disabled and found out some strange wakelocks by Twilight screen filter app...

uninstalled Twilight - overnight battery drain went down by half (lost 5% in 8 hours)

i also think that the "drain" can be lowered further by stopping some Google services that are irrelevant for my phone usage...

with Twilight installed:

Google services - 23.8%

Android system - 7.3%

Kernel (Android OS) - 6.9%

Facebook - 6.4%

etc...

after uninstalling Twilight:

Kernel (Android OS) - 5.7%

Android System - 5.2%

Google Services - 0.9%

Use BetterBatteryStats installed as system app and see both Partial Wakelocks and Kernel Wakelocks.

If you use Exchange account like me there may sometimes be a bug that stucks at syncing and makes wakelock (kind of wakelock. sometimes cant be seen).

Also stop Google account auto sync, clear cache/dalvik and wipe cache partition. After boot, reenable google account auto sync.

Hi dorimanx, here all OK with latest releases!

Just wanted to ask you a question: I remember that few months ago cpu Max heat was set to 78c in thermal tab.

Now it is at 75c.

In some post you explained that board and all components begins to fry after 89c.

My questions it's this: if phone can handle in terms of stability a bit more higher temps it is completely safe to raise max heat to 78c in dorimanx app?

I'm curious in this aspect because from one week I raised temp to 78 and surely due to later frequency cut, phone seems smoother and more reactive in some circumstances. Just want to make sure to not heat phone over it's limit!

If I'm not wrong LG stock max heat it's about 85c
