Upon positive feedback to my initial post and several requests in the modded-cm7-thread, here's the thread for the development section.
This thread is about providing everyone with my CyanogenMod 7 Kang and the modifications I added to it. Both ROM and Kernel are compiled from source in a Linux environment. Note: This is by no means my ROM. My work is based on the awesome efforts by everyone who contributed to CM7. While initially I built the ROM only for myself in order to adjust a few things to my liking, after some development I thought "It's so good, I might as well share it".
Highlights of my CM7 Kang:
All CM7 commits up to September 25, 2012
Very smooth and snappy overall experience (smooth spinners, smooth indeterminate progress bar, different screen transition animations, some other things)
Enhanced audio experience (digital audio mixer, increased headphone volume, Beats Audio, more volume increments)
Increased battery life through kernel tweaks like writeback variables, underclocking, WLAN undervolting, and LED-button light dimming
Custom CM7 Kernel with battery-optimized smartass2 governor, additional interactivex and ondemandx governors, default SIO i/o scheduler (2012 version), battery optimized sysctl variables and many more improvements
G-key usable as a launch button for the camera app, as shutter key inside the camera app, and also as music play/pause key when the screen is locked
increased camera jpeg quality (pictures are ~ 1.3 - 1.7 MB)
Option to center the statusbar clock (not enabled by default) and change the clock's color (white by default)
Option to set the statusbar color (not enabled by default). You can choose between fully transparent, semi-transparent, and any custom color.
Optional 1.2 GHz overclocking via menu
Fixed GPS performance, largely fixed audio routing and fixed call quality
VPN support
Customizable installation with Aroma installer
G-recovery

Notes:
Installation: to install, go into CWM and select the package via 'Install zip from sdcard'. Upon this, a graphical user interface will guide you through the setup process.
This package contains everything that was previously listed under 'download links': ROM, Kernel, Google apps, Beats Audio remover, localized GPS fixes, WLAN failsafe Kernel, the format script, additional applications, and the option to remove some stock applications.
The Aroma installer gives you the possibility to customize your installation: you can freely choose any component you want to install without the need to install anything else. For example, you could only install the ROM, only the Kernel, only a GPS fix, etc.
There is no need to do any wipes in CWM - the installer will take care of this.
Besides the fully customized installation, there are two quick install options available in the installer: 'Install CM7' and 'Update CM7'. Those will perform the necessary wipes and install the bare CM7 ROM (including Google apps) for you. No other additional apps will be installed or removed.
When installing the CM7 ROM, the European GPS fix and Beats Audio are already included by default.

- All CM7 commits up to September 9, 2012
- Replaced (the optionally installable) Root Browser with ES File Explorer since it has better functionality
- Updated (the optionally installable) AlarmDroid app to the latest version
[B]cm-7-package-20120905-p970-boype[/B]
- Reverted RIL to v11b due to occasional loss of signal problems
- Reverted camera libs to v11b due to the first two seconds of video recording being black
- Set touchscreen refresh rate slightly above the display refresh rate for smoother scrolling (71 Hz)

- Updated Play Store and ROM Manager to latest version
- All CM7 commits up to September 5, 2012
- Kernel: Reverted CPU transition latency to 15ms (LG default)
- Compiled Kernel and ROM with default CM7 toolchain (GCC 4.4.3) for maximum compatibility and as few bugs as possible. Linaro caused strange behavior sometimes!?
[B]cm-7-package-20120826-p970-boype[/B]
- Updated all LG proprietary files to V20N (GPS, graphics, RIL, sensors, video codecs, ...). The files prior were still from V11B (Froyo).
- Re-compiled package with Linaro toolchain, since random errors were reported
[B]cm-7-package-20120824-p970-boype[/B]
- Set audio capture mixer to 'Digital' (was 'Analog' before)
- Increased microphone sampling rate for voice calls to 16 KHz (was 8 KHz before)

- Boosted speaker volume a little
- Added option to choose transition effects from within aroma installer: the current LG Froyo effects are set as default, but the CM7 default ICS-effects can be installed as well.
- Fixed bug in aroma installer where Europe GPS fix could not be (re-)installed
- Fixed bug in aroma installer where Play Store disappeared and could not be recovered after updating the ROM / re-installing Google apps

[B]cm-7-package-20120817-boype[/B]
- Fixed GPS not working when screen is off
- All CM7 commits up to August 17, 2012
- Added AROMA installer for an "all in one" package (thanks to tantrums for the help). All previously available flash files (ROM, Kernel, GPS fixes, apps, ...) can be installed from AROMA. You don't even need to do wipes in CWM anymore, as a formating script is included.
- Updated some outdated applications (Google Search, Play Store, Superuser)
- Kernel: added USB battery drain fix
[B]cm-7-20120809-p970-boype[/B]
- Another attempt to fix the 'overamped' microphone during handset calls (I'm not talking about the background noise issue here)
- Fixed front camera not working in high quality video mode
- Fixed GPS fix not setting permissions properly on first boot
- All CM7 commits up to August 9, 2012
- Kernel: Fixed the issue where the CPU ramped down (or only appeared to ramp down!?) way below 200 MHz
[B]cm-7-20120805-p970-boype[/B]
- Reverted microphone gain on handset calls back to standard values, while maintainig the increased gain for everything else. (Some users reported distorted sound due to high gain. Actually, I assumed that calls were excluded from the gain.)
- Went back to standard app package - no apps removed, no apps added (not even google apps). Can't argue with personal taste...
- Pre-set GPS fix is set to European NTP server (so no need to flash the EU GPS fix)
[B]cm-7-20120803-p970-boype[/B]
- All CM7 commits up to August 3, 2012
- Fixed GPS permission issue being repsonsible for bad GPS fix performance
- Fixed large parts of the (very messed up) audio routing:
- In a call, when enabling handfree (speaker) mode, the interlocutor could not hear anything
- In a call with headphones attached, the interlocutor could not hear anything
- In a call via headset, the interlocutor experienced very low volume
- Increased overall mic recording volume by 66% (Regular calls are excluded from that. However, e.g. Skype calls and voice recording are boosted.)
- Added option to set the statusbar color (not enabled by default). You can choose between fully transparent, semi-transparent, and any custom color. (By JerryScript. [URL="https://github.com/thekraven/android_packages_apps_CMParts/commit/7e5f2170e85d24ecd749eebcf409377d0020ea55"]source 1[/URL] + [URL="https://github.com/thekraven/android_frameworks_base/commit/7479afb07eaa5b0a1445d439904284bba9649ebd"]source 2[/URL])
- Fixed a small bug with the center clock, which wasn't correctly "rolled in" after events in the status bar ticker.
- Changed Launcher to the official Play Store version of ADW Launcher (gives a little better performance and smoothness)
- Integrated Google apps (gapps) into ROM package and updated most of them to the latest version
- Integrated the LG Memo app and widget (pulled them from a stock GB ROM)
- Integrated Root Browser, Fancywidgets (great weather widgets), HTC IME mod (superb keyboard) and some other useful apps
- Deleted useless apps from ROM: DeskClock, FileManager, LatimIME, LiveWallpapers, LiveWallpapersPicker, MagicSmokeWallpapers, Protips, RomManager. I have added a zip package with the deleted apps to the OP, in case you want any of those apps back.
- Integrated a couple of notification/ringtone sounds: 'Guitar 2' and 'Major' from HTC, 'Wake up' from Sony Ericsson, and two retro Super Mario sounds :)
- Kernel: Set CPU OPs to 200-400-600-800-1000-(1200) MHz
- Kernel: Re-integrated almost all parts of LG DVFS and rewrote them to work with the new frequencies. This largely stabilizes the kernel!
- Kernel: Tweaked voltages, GPU frequencies and screen-off ramping behavior to optimize battery life
- Kernel: Fixed WiFi hang on re-enable. Connecting WiFi is really fast now :) (Thanks to Conn O'Griofa). ([URL="http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?p=linux-2.6.git;a=patch;h=04dd4dc82b0960ff95c3adc58c07da3ce699a67f"]source[/URL])
- Kernel: Undervolted WLAN some more
- Kernel: Added ondemandx governor and changed to regular smartass2 / interactivex governors (non-DoomLord versions)
- Kernel: Updated SIO to 2012 version and tweaked it slightly
- Kernel: ...more changes under the hood. Check the sources if you're interested.
- Updated building environment: Kernel and ROM are compiled with Linaro toolchain 11.10 / Java JDK 6u33
[B]cm-7.2.0-p970-20120715-boype[/B]
- All commits up to July 15, 2012
- Implemented Beats Audio into the ROM for an enhanced music experience. If you don't like it for some reason, just use the Beats Audio remover listed under the download links. Huge thanks to RockoDev. ([URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525226"]source[/URL])
- Kernel: fixed the SOD / freeze issues. Thanks again to kdo_vi and Siguiriya for beta testing.
- Kernel: fixed the issue where the phone was laggy for a minute or so after changing the frequency. This means, that you can now also set your desired frequency and governor on boot without any initial lag or other downsides.
- Kernel: removed a lot of LG DVFS stuff from the code. Only the very necessary lines for a smooth operation remain.
- Kernel: lowered LED-button energy input by ~40%. Battery savings 'hello' ;)
- Kernel: tweaked SIO a bit for better I/O performance
- Kernel: some more changes under the hood. Check the Kernel source if you're interested.
- A sidenote for the benchmark kids: Change your governor to ondemand or interactiveX when you want to get the best possible synthetic benchmark scores.
[B]cm-7.2.0-p970-20120711-boype[/B]
- Kernel: Fixed bug where CPU frequencies and governor could not be set properly in CM Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings (I removed parts of LG DVFS for that)
- Kernel: increased voltage for 200 MHz CPU frequency to get rid of reported SODs
- Kernel: added optional 1.2 GHz overclocking support, selectable from the CM Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings menu
- Kernel: added SIO i/o scheduler and set default
- Kernel: smartassV2 is default governor again
[B]cm-7.2.0-p970-20120710-boype[/B]
- All CM7 commits up to build date
- Kernel: Underclocked the lowest CPU operating point (OPP) to 200 MHz (was 300 MHz before) and applied lower voltage for that OPP. Also adjusted GPU frequencies in a linear way for all OPPs (each 100 MHz increase adds 80 MHz more GPU clock, so in the end the default GPU maximum of 800 MHz is reached at a CPU speed of 1000 MHz). [B]Huge thanks to Huexxx and his [URL="https://github.com/Huexxx/diana/commits/v2"]released Kernel sources[/URL]![/B]
- Kernel: lowered WLAN voltage to save battery. Operating voltage is now between 1.7 Volt and 2.7 Volt (was 1.8 - 3.0 Volt before).
- Kernel: Set tickrate to 72 Hz. I expect this to be a battery saver when screen is on.
- Kernel: Back to deadline i/o scheduler
- Kernel: More kernel stuff under the hood, see the Kernel source if you're interested
[B]cm-7.2.0-p970-20120704-KANG[/B]
- All CM7 commits up to build date
- G-key is no longer a "dead" key:
- when screen is on, long press will open the camera app
- inside the camera/camcorder app, g-key will serve as camera shutter key (Enable it in camera app -> advanced settings; I implemented this function)
- When the screen is off, long press can be set to toggle music play/pause (Enable it in Settings -> CM settings -> Input; I unlocked this function)
- Increasing ringtone option (cherry-pick, authored by Danny Baumann; [URL="http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/18401/"]source 1[/URL] + [URL="http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/18402/"]source 2[/URL] + [URL="http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/18403/"]source 3[/URL])
- Disabled trackball options from Settings -> CM settings -> Input (since the optimus black has no trackball)
- Added 40mb heapsize to Settings -> CM settings -> Performance settings and set as default (was 32mb before)
- Kernel: added interactivex and set as default governor
- Kernel: set noop as default i/o scheduler
- Kernel: added support for VPN (compiled and integrated tun.ko module for that)
- Kernel: added g-recovery by sergey1369. When you have a bootloop, you can still access CWM by repeatedly pressing the G-key while booting. Also thanks to Huexxx for answering a question ;) ([URL="http://code.google.com/p/g-recovery/"]source[/URL])
[B]cm-7.2.0-p970-20120625-KANG[/B]
- All CM7 commits up to build date
- Added "center clock" and "clock color" feature by jerryscript ([URL="https://github.com/thekraven/android_frameworks_base/commit/7479afb07eaa5b0a1445d439904284bba9649ebd"]source 1[/URL] + [URL="https://github.com/thekraven/android_packages_apps_CMParts/commit/92bf8fce1a4d54dfb5076f17c456a8210b8a655e"]source 2[/URL])
- Kernel: Updated SmartassV2 with DooMLoRD's optimized version of the governor (I hope to achieve even better battery life) ([URL="https://raw.github.com/DooMLoRD/SGS-SL-i9003/GB/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_smartass2.c"]source[/URL])
- Kernel: changed taskkiller values to 6mb 8mb 26mb 28mb 30mb 32mb (1536 2048 6656 7168 7680 8192) -> values taken from the "balanced 3" setting from zeppelinrox's supercharger v6 (I encountered some slight issues with the previous values at multitasking) ([URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16635544"]source[/URL])
[B]cm-7.2.0-p970-20120620-KANG[/B]
- All CM7 commits up to build date
- Removed blur effect from popup menus (like the power-off menu) since it was causing slowness and lag
- Changed wifi default timeout to 5 minutes after screen goes off. cm7 default hardcoded value was 15 minutes
- Changed analog audio mixer to digital audio mixer. subjective listening result: less distortion and hissing via headphones
- Changed volumes for louder headphones and maximum speaker volume without distortion
- Added build.prop tweak for better battery life: pm.sleep_mode=1
- set wifi scan interval to 150 seconds to save battery (was 20 or 30 before)

- Created smooth indeterminate progress bar (the "infinite" progress bar). just applied some very basic photoshop skills for that
- A-GPS: added european NTP server (was north american before)
- Added more increments to volume bars for everything (music, ringtone, notification, alarm, calls, .....)
- Changed transition effects to lge-p970-froyo-stock because they look nicer and smoother
- Removed the android legacy libGLES driver, since it prevented the SGX530's graphics driver to do its job properly (should give a smoother overall experience + is proven to give an improved gaming experience)
- Kernel: added smartass2 governor and set default with battery-optimized values: DEFAULT_AWAKE_IDEAL_FREQ 800000; DEFAULT_SLEEP_IDEAL_FREQ 300000; DEFAULT_RAMP_UP_STEP 100000; DEFAULT_RAMP_DOWN_STEP 100000; DEFAULT_MAX_CPU_LOAD 66; DEFAULT_MIN_CPU_LOAD 33; DEFAULT_UP_RATE_US 48000; DEFAULT_DOWN_RATE_US 99000; DEFAULT_SLEEP_WAKEUP_FREQ 99999999; DEFAULT_SAMPLE_RATE_JIFFIES 2

- Kernel: changed taskkiller values to 6mb 8mb 24mb 26mb 28mb 30mb (1536 2048 6144 6656 7168 7680) -> values taken from the "balanced 1" setting from zeppelinrox's supercharger v6 ([URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16635544"]source[/URL])
- Kernel: tweaked tcp buffersizes to 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
- Kernel: tweaked SD-card readahead to 2048kb
List of included CM7 commits (cf. commit dates)
Installation, notes and bugs:
Known bugs:
Video recording:
Low frame rates in general (around 13 FPS)
Recording occasionally just stops after some time
Video playback: Hardware decoding is laggy (You can still use software decoding, which works fine, but consumes more battery)
FM radio:
FM radio puts the volume to the maximum at start-up and every time a sound notification occurs
After an incoming call the radio won't continue playing
Channel renaming does not work
SIP calling: The headset button won't work (can't mute or hang up calls with it)
Skype calling: Handsfree (loudspeaker) mode causes extremely low microphone volume
Bluetooth: there have been reports about random Bluetooth re-pairings, resulting in calls not working properly
Installation procedure and various problems:
It is perfectly possible to flash the kang over any other CM7 version (nightlies, kangs). Also, you can flash any other CM7 over my kang.
When you're switching to CM7 from a stock-based ROM: Few users reported problems of various sorts. If you experience any problems, re-install CM7 with a 'full format'. This should solve your problems in most cases.
The transparent / colored status bar feature does not work with all launchers or types of wallpapers. In ADW Launcher, the 'wallpaper hack' option must be disabled for the feature to work! Note that there is no solution out there for making it work with any launcher and wallpaper.
Few users have reported problems with getting a GPS lock. I have built a fix for that, which is already integrated into the ROM from version 2012-08-03 on. If you still experience problems: some xda users report that the following simple steps fixed their GPS issues completely: disable both 'Use wireless networks' and 'Use GPS satellites' in the menu 'Settings > Location & Security', exit the menu, and afterwards re-enable both options.
The FM radio turning on Bluetooth is NOT a bug, since the FM radio is integrated into the Bluetooth chip. It only appears that this is a bug, as the LG stock FM radio app hides that Bluetooth is activated. In reality, the stock FM radio app turns on bluetooth as much as the CM7 FM radio app does.
To those who are new to CM7:
CM7 is a powerful ROM that adds a lot of features compared to stock ROMs. Things which are noteworthy are a customizable power-widget, vibrate-notifications on established/disconnected calls, LED notifications, different lockscreen styles, volume keys to choose next/previous audio track, an ICS-like screen rotation animation, ascending ringtones, and much more. Many people may still think CM7 is buggy and unstable, but it is not anymore, since great progress has been made over the last months.
Miscellaneous tips:
Many apps that come pre-installed with CM7 can be removed if you don't like them. Check out this list of items to make sure it is safe to remove a specific app.
If you want to install other themes, search for CM7 themes on Google's Play Store or the xda forums.

There should be no problems with both, even though I did not test it. Just do cache and dalvik wipes.

thanks man keeping this great work:good::good::good::fingers-crossed:
Fantastic ROM, thank you. But I have problem with bluetooth handsfree in car (Croma with Blue&Me). First phone pairing is without problems, calls work. If I come later, phone connect to handsfree automatically, but when I have a call, opposite side does not hear me. I have the same problem with Temasek kang and with originall CM7. Stock ROM (Zeus) is without problem.

Even though I cannot exclude the possibility that there's a problem, there's no reason why that problem should arise. Don't get me wrong, I believe that happened to you
However, this sounds more like a "bad flash" or a corrupt file of the other flashed kang.
Maybe yes, i didn´t check MD5 of Temasek kang. Everything is possible.
EDIT: So i checked MD5sum now and yes, it was my fault, sorry for misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, the volume of the headset's microphone is still very very low in your rom. Can u fix it?

Just a suggestion, the word kang is not used anymore, unofficial would be the correct denomination.

This rom is smooth and battery is good when not used.... but when used, battery drain is huge! Is anyone having the same problem or am i the only one??

so that means there is something that is eating up my battery!! i am using sense theme...may this cause the battery drain??
this is the best cm 7 version i have ever used.
smooth, fast, no fc, no sod and it is very important good battery life.
thnx for your works.
please keep going.

I also found that sometimes our theme draining the battery faster. As an example, I was using ADW launcher (temasek 's default launcher) with its default theme. And these last 2 days, I used Buuf Guuf theme for ADW, I feel the battery draining faster.
Been using it for almost a day, feels and performs well, thank you very much!
However, the volume changing is buggy. When raising the volume, some steps decrease it, next steps increase it too much. The graph would look like: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 5, 8, 7, 9, 10. Not sure if it's just me.
After following the progress made here, I decided to make my own modded ROM.
The name was chosen because I'm a total newbie in modding and I don't expect it to be very good, but well enough at least for me.
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR ANY PROBLEM WITH YOUR DEVICE(S)!
ABOUT:
- Based on CoolrunnerII's CM7.2
- LauncherPro (Because Nemus started to lag)
- Increased Heap Memory size to stop Market and Wallpaper problem (now the Market can be updated)
- Replaced Music with Winamp (Beta, but stable version of Winamp to be as light as possible)
- I "borrowed" Kuskro's ideas (like quicksettings and RealCalc)
- I included Rotation Locker (to change from portrait to landscape)
- I included some lines in build.prop which improve 3G and changing to wi-fi and wi-fi connecting speed
- I gave up on CPUTuner because it caused too much lag for the small ammount of saved battery
- Bootanimation changed.. Thanks to SDogo for the X1 Bootanimation.zip
N00bDroid 1.1 Download
N00bDroid (first release) Download
HOW TO:
- Format in CWM Recovery partitions /system, /data, /cache
- Install ROM - Detailed instructions HERE
- Boot into ROM
- Once booted, make sure it won't go in standby until after next step
- Go in Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Display and deactivate everything except 0 degrees
- Go in Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Performance and check Use 16bit Transparency
- Go in Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Performance>CPU Settings>Max CPU Frequency and set any freq between 528 and 576 MHz
- Reboot in recovery
- Install the GAPPS
- Reboot
- Have fun
I will put here a list of tweaks when I will have more time
Thanks: Sp3dev, Zargloub, CoolRunnerII, Jerrytan93, Kuskro, Elibl and BrianXP7 for contributing at this project
Working:
Mainly:
-Mobile data (Voice/3G Edge/HSDPA) - Improved HSDPA to wi-fi change speed
-Wi-fi (currently it works only with WPA)
-Bluetooth (as CoolrunnerII says, if you deactivate bluetooth, the battery will drain very fast, so after using bluetooth, deactivate then reboot)
-GPS (I haven't test yet, but it should work)
-Camera - Without Auto-focus
Secondary
-Flash LED
-Coloured LEDs
-Battery life about 18 hours (with 30-40 minutes music - that took a bit - , 10-20 minutes wi-fi, 5-10 minutes voice call and some messages)
-Market can be updated
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Not working/problems
- battery still drains too fast (in standby it's about 25 times more power consuming by coolrunnerII's measurements)
- Wi-fi WEP is not working
- Battery meter goes to <20% after reboot. However, it will not influence overall battery life
- Camera is not focusing
- FM Radio
- HQ videos
- Front camera
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TWEAKS:
- You can use SetCPU (thread - here) to enable better control of CPU as it goes (also on project's google page):
Stability
Minimum (MHz): 19.2
Maximum (MHz): 528
Governor: ondemand
Performance
Minimum (MHz): 128
Maximum (MHz): 614.4
Governor: performance
If you have the possibilities, you can support the developer by buying the app on Google Play
- For a easier use of Rotation Locker go in Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Input>Long-Press menu settings>Choose behaviour>Custom application then Select custom application>Application>Rotation Locker
- Also for a easier use of Advanced Task Manager go in Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Input>Long-Press home settings Uncheck "Show Recent apps tile", check "Use custom application", Select custom application>Applications>Advanced task killer free
- You can change the lock screen into a less-laggy one by going in Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Lockscreen>Lockscreen style>Rotary(it's my favourite)/Sliding tab/Lense
- Go in Auto Mount app and tick "Enable SD Card Auto-Mounting"

NOTE: I am open-minded to any improvement idea as long at it's still in my understanding limits.
Many thanks to be there with new projects.
Let me tell you that CPU Tuner works properly on ZeamDroid but on CM7.2 doesn't because of CM CPU controller. For CM7.2 the best option is not the CM CPU controller the best choice is SetCPU.
Best.

True, but SetCPU is a paid app, so even though I can pay it, I'm not allowed to include it in my ROM

Well, the version 2.24 is free for xda user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
.
The reason why CPU tuner doesn't work is because of CM CPU controller. But CPU Tuner is the best frequency switcher for our Xperia X1.
Dear ady_95
Thanks a lot, for your nice work, could you please tell us, what is working and what is not ?!
and what about the battey life?
thnx dude !
V1.1 released (V2 will be released when we will have a major change in the build... Until that, only 1.x.y)

I edited the name and about the google drive link, it's now fixed...(so please, if you can, remove the link from your post, because I don't know what's the downloads limit - or if there is one) also, the DL speed on Google Drive is bigger
Well, guys, it seems the base ROM and the kernels had not changed in the last weeks so until an update comes I retire and go back to WM because my camera is f**ked up and my X1 is the only replacement, I have to manage a high-school radio (from everywhere) and also I have semestrial tests in the next 2 weeks.
I will still follow the forum and when a major update will come, expect for me
See ya!
Hi, this ROM works great for me, very good performance, but after awhile it's not letting me make any calls. Whenever y try to call someone it just shows in red "Call Ended 0:00".
Wish I could go back to windows mobile as well, as I love using my X1, but I wouldnt use it if i did, as there's no Whatsapp or decent gtalk app on windows mobile.
Anyway, thanks for the ROM, great work.
For speed, what are the best settings to have? I'm running CM10.2 now, this ROM in particular, with this Kernel. No "performance" scripts, as I tried one and my phone wouldn't boot and had to restore nandroid backup.
For example:
zRAM: disabled, 10%, 18% (default), 26%
Allow purging of assets y/n?
Kernel samepage merging y/n?
16bit transparency y/n? (yes seems obvious but I don't know if it might somehow make it slower)
Right now I'm using SMARTASSH3 governor with max cpu at 825. I can go up to about 900mhz but it doesn't seem to make much difference to be honest.
I/O scheduler: I leave this as NOOP on default because whenever I change it my phone because really unstable and crashes all the time, but if you can suggest one that might be better I'm all ears.
Dev options:
Window animations of course can be reduced or disabled.
Force GPU rendering for 2D drawing y/n?
Force 4x MSAA y/n?
Disable HW overlays y/n?
Background process limit? Whenever I try to change this the setting never "sticks", and I think it seems to cause instability.
Don't keep activities seems like an obvious one to enable, but if you are switching between multiple apps then it could be perceived slowdown as it has to load them up again from the start?
Does the amount of available internal storage make a difference to speed? Right now I am at 14.8mb free, is this used like RAM or something and I should link more apps to SD card? (Link2SD)
Thanks in advance if you answer these extremely common questions..

My bad, could a mod move it over to the right place?
Thanks

ZRam: Yes (but the battery life will get shorter!)
Allowing purging of assets: Yes
KSM: Yes
16-Bit transparency: Yes
SmartassH3 is a good choice. If it's getting laggy use smartassv2. I usually use 200-800MHzh.
I/O scheduler: Idk which ones the MA6 kernel has, but ZEN is one of the best.
You can limit the background processes to 3-4, it's up to you and your personal use.
If you have apps that you don't use, deinstall them. Because some of them are running in the background and so they'll use RAM.

On CM 10.1 I got a very slow phone with zen scheduler. Now I'm using deadline and is faster than before. Governor is smartassh3 (supersmooth governor) and 864mhz overclock. This combination works very good for me. Please report back your experience
my phone
(main)
governor: interactive (320-800MHz)
scheduler: sio
(screen off)
governor: ondemand (245-748MHz)
smooth and responsive, try it.
How is battery life with these settings on CM10? Can I aspect at least 10 hours of moderate use?
