Kernel: snq's LeeDroid 2.2f Kernel with cm's chargemod

1. Kernel

The chargemod is the reason i flashed this Kernel. ziggy has also a chargemod Kernel but he used sibere's "quick and dirty" hack. I don't know if cm's mod is better but "quick and dirty" doesn't sound very safe ^^. I also did some quadrant runs and snq's Kernel was slightly better:

Quadrant Scores (5 runs in a row - 1. run not counted)

ziggy (the Nov 24 included in this ROM):

2192

2190

2188

2225

snq 2.2f (with chargemod):

2220

2243

2249

2205

The new Beta Kernel (Dez 5) from ziggy has a heavy bug: it doesn't switch on the screen on when woke from standby. So only use it for test purpose with sreen off=never

I also tested coutts99 Kernel. But this Kernel has also has bug: HAVS cant set voltages above 1275mV (can be seen with "adb shell /system/bin/dmesg"). This means that this Kernel is also 25mV undervolted if its on highest clock speed. For me 1113mhz@1300mV is comleptly stable but 1113mhz@1275mV is unstable (again: FOR ME). So this Kernel isn't an option for me.

If you tend to use this Kernel make sure you DON'T USE smartass/interactive but ONDEMAND instead. Since the combination gets unstable and the powersave of HAVS is negated since smartass changes the clockspeed to fast (more info about this here).

Didn't test RichardTrip's Kernel yet. May test it later. (The reason i didn't test it is that i didn't find a chargemod version - at least at first post .... don't know if someone in the thread compiled one with snq's/cm's patch).

2. ROM

Everything works fine and i'm quite happy with New Sense. After first reboot it was awfully slow, but this was due to market downloading like 90 apps (autorestore - i deactivated it now since i use titanium anyway wich also restores data off apps).

Actually this ROM is faster (app start etc) than LeeDroid 2.2f (WITHOUT Data2SD) for me (but i can't say it's more smooth than Lee because Lee was already completly smooth). The reason for this should be the 10mb/s read of my card. The only situation i get slowdowns/lags is when stuff is written on SDcard and the reason for this should be the 2mb/s write speed. But those lags don't bother me much.

3. Issues

Only one... that part of the data2sd script:

/system/bin/tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

This removes journaling. While this will lead to a higher performance it will increase the risk of file corruption. After i flashed the ziggy's beta kernel and the screen didn't go on i pulled the battery. After the reboot i got the well known "android.process.acore" fc's and i needed to reflash the ROM.

ownhere changed the script in his ROM (thats were also the script in this ROM is from) and i think robocik should also include the new data2sd script in his ROM since i think this could be the reason for most fc's.

I also don't know if this script can be pushed to the already installed ROM and i don't know if the ext partition needs to be recreated if journaling is disabled but i check this. I tested ownhere's ROM before so journaling was removed after the creation of the partition. Since robocik doesn't autoformat the ext on first boot this shouldn't happen. BUT journaling is removed AGAIN after the Loopback device is created. And do not know yet when this part of the script is done (first boot ... every boot) since i don't know what a loobback device is :o . I'll look into this and post again.
