Hey im using this phone for 1 month and im impressed by the performance. I downloaded few heavy games and apps like shadowgun and galaxy and few compilers and photo editing softwares. After installing them they were running smoothly. But after sometimes the app starts lagging. When i check the ram used i came to know that even i close the apps the app process is still taking some resources from ram i know its necessary for multitasking but the apps which you dont want to use further should be able to remove from memory. I tried with advanced task killler but after sometime that apps come back in the ram please tell a solution for and i think many users must have ezperiencing this. It is using up the memory unnecessarily.

use cm7.2 kang and use antoher kernel like vadonka, iron kernel.
vadonka provides 32mb ram hack and non 32 mb ram hack.
ironkernel provides 32mb, 64mb, and 96mb hack and non ram hack.
or you can install miui which is faster enough too.
or stock rom but already tweaked with another kernel such as horse power kernel which is nice and so on
just look the development section. LG rom is suck!!
If you have ram issues then you could also try to freezer these apps with titanium backup for example. Also, you could flash a custom kernel with ram hack of course...

Have your rooted and installed a custom ROM? Or are you still on the stock LG ROM?

Hello!
The behaviour you describe in you starting post is quit "normal" for the LG stock rom - it is a known bug - stock rom has memory leaks and you need to reboot the phone from time to time get all ram back.
The camera app from CM7 is ok in the latest KANGS.
CM7 has a better ram management and using a cutom kernel can speed up things even more (considerably).
But you could also install a custom rom based on a stock rom rebuild like i.e. Guestes or Manouches roms - they should work better than standard stock and are based on newer(leaked) sources...
ICS will come, but CM9 needs still some time and the ICS build from LG won't be here before next winter...
Err... im confused my friend. Cynomod is a custom rom rite? and what is a kernel ? can you change kernel in your stock rom? please tell.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Yes cyanogen is a custom rom.
The kernel is a script that allows software to access the hardware. It's easy to change and there are many threads in dev forum about custom kernels. However I think you have to read some guides before

Hi guys,
Currently i just rooted my phone and successfully install CM7 KANG by Koboltz (sorry if i spell it wrong ) ..many thanks bro for the KANGin... It really smooth and trouble free from my experience using it for 2 weeks now
Now I really want to take my O2X to the next level by try to install custom kernel on it .. and my choice is Vadonka's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1427646
However i always failed to install the recent Update 2012.01.17 .. any version i tried I always got bootloop on CM7 logo...always stuck there and wont go in to the system.
The only Vadonka's kernel i managed to install successfully is LGE-KaNG_120109 its super smooth and stable but i got a bug that i cant play my PES 2012 on it -- PES always stuck on konami logo and then force close.
anybody have the same problem with me ?
Is there any way i cant play PES 2012 on that kernel (LGE-KaNG_120109).. or is there any settings that i need to change ?
And are there any way to know what causing bootloop on Vadonka's newest kernel ? -- maybe is there something i need to do to diagnostic this maybe ?
(yes i did all the clean / wipe stuff before and after installing) but still it bootloop on CM7 logo on newest kernel.
other than that Vadonka has created or KANG one of the best kernel i think for o2x -- at least that is what my friend said
but still thanks to Vadonka
Thanks in advance for any help guys
UPDATE:
I tried Vadonka's latest Update 2012.01.18 but it still give me bootloop on CM7 logo.
I did try to use init remover by Vadonka to remove init script
I did try to disable compcache in CM7 setting
I did wipe cache and dalvik
Still i'm not able to boot
Try temasek's kang (link in signature) maybe this will work.
I see, I will try temasek's KANG... been actually thinking ti change rom but still learning about this rom and kernel stuff.
Thanks for the advice

Temasek rules!...
I use "CherryPics" Kernel (for CM7/Kang) with it
May be a driver/hardware module that causes your phone to hang and some other versions? (these parts are very "ROM specific" or Kernel inclusions...)
Yes I did try to use Temasek's kang #50 now, but still unable to use Vadonka's latest kernel.
Well on the good side, Temasek's kang #50 is bullet fast and rock stable for me. .. and after applying androidon tweak its just like bullet covered in butter.
I must say many thanks to Temasek, AndroidON and surely CM team and every other coder.
But I still kinda curious to try Vadonka's kernel....hope better luck next time

Vadonka's kernel on 9 January is working fine, but still got several apps wont run on it .. one example is PES 2012, which always freeze and yhen fc.
I see that he is building new kernel (ETaNa).. wonder if this one might work ? I mean is it completely new? Cause I see its said that the installer will recognize something

I don't know if it is completely new, AFAIK, he only give it a new name...
Same issue here, after the jan09 version, i got a bootloop. Etena version same issue.
I would like to ask if I install custom kernel that is released by vadonka (the latest one is 30 Jan). Is there any problem if I flashed hybrid revolution v3.1 with the latest one??

I'm not sure about this but afaik vadonka made a lot of tweak along with his kernel and that might conflict with tweak in gueste rom .. please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think its better to wait kernel only installer from vadonka or you can try temasek kernel only.
I would like to try gueste 3.1 rom but maube I'll wait for it this weekend.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
You can try out IronKrnl . The 32MB version has been stable for me for the last two days . And I have infact patched IronKrnl with Vadonka's init.d AIO tweaks and trying that out now . Vadonka's kernel was fast when I had it on my O2X but I experienced frequent FC's with the phone radio so I reverted back to stock CM7 kernel and patched IronKrnl . Having said that I think Vadonka's kernel is likely to be newer and more optimised if it gets stable
Always take a Nandroid backup of the existing stock & stable image before flashing a new kernel . It saves a lot of a headache . And to flash a totally different kernel I would recommend you to revert to stock and then flash the new kernel . The faster way would be to revert only the boot.img file but that might leave behind some stray settings .
also i have problem with the newest etana kernel by vadonka, it makes the cpu getting hot , and dont know why
Try to flash back prior to installing vadonka's kernel. Apparently there are some issues with his current kernel that I've experienced as well so it's better off with the stock kernel.
Currently I'm stick with Temasek kang #55 and with default kernel. Its been very stable and smooth for a week now, and u don't even have charging BSOD again since I set the screen awake while charging.
Latest Temasek kang #58 is out now, and I have yet to decide if I want to use it or use Gueste 3.1
Anyone tried gueste 3.1 from CM 7 without data wipe? ? ( only cache and dalvik wipe) cause I don't want to install all my programs from scratch. Is it even possible, since gueste 3.1 is also based on CM 7 ?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Hi,
I've been using Gueste 3.2 hybrid revolution for a day now, and i muat admit this is the smoothest rom i ever use in my entire o2x life.
The stock lg launcher is covered with butter. I even try to install go launcher ex, and ita still very smooth like never before.
Then i say many many thanks to Mr. Temasek for his Kang efforts and Mr. Stefan for this smooth rom.
My other experience today is for the pimp my cpu app always ask for super user privilege ... I always set to allow and tick on the remember box ... but it always keep asking.
For that i maybe a noob because i don't know how to sett the proper super user... but no impact on performance whatsoever until now.
Anybody know how to use pimp my cpu ? or atleast make it not keep asking for super user privilege. ?
I'm currently using Temasek Cm 7 kernel + voodoo sound dated 7 feb 2012 .. downloaded from Temasek mediafire.
Thanks in advance

Hello guys, ive been switching to a couple of roms, most cyanogenmod based rom, and now i want to try stock based rom, ive used modaco gr6, and i like the stock look of the launcher and lockscreen, but the amount of free ram is so low, bcoz all the lg apps, car home and fsecure is there, is there any rom that has the stock look but with cyanogenmod like performance?
You can always "bake" a rom based on the stock rom. It allows you to remove any unwanted application you feel you don't need!
i dont really no how to "bake" a rom, do u guys recommend civato-FLEXBOMB-R3 and B2B, also what kernel goes well with this rom?

Hi,
get MCR v6 STOCK / VANILLA edition.
then get any freezing app from the market and freeze all the apps u don't want.
titanium backup free can do it for you or mybackup pro
just freeze what you think is useless for you; and then flash a MCR kernel over it.
there are many here in the thread.
you could try the gueste2x goodbye rom 1.1
it has some kernel options and seems stable on my phone

Since i've been on CM7 with Temasek's kang i've been using Etana kernel. I've found myself wanting to play Plants vs Zombies and Draw Something among other games.
Are there any CM7 kernels that can play those games properly perhaps with ramhack and power saving tweaks enabled? Does Temasek's CM7 kernel kang play those games or does everyone stick with stock kernel?
I'm on cm7's stock kernel. And I can play PVZ fine.
I suggest you try stock.

Can't flash last Vadonka's
Hi everyone,
I believe Etana v3.0.y (OC version) is absolutely the best kernel for CM7 I've tried so far.
But today... I just couldn't flash the last version (15 APR)!!
The process stopped saying that my ROM was unsupported. I'm on Temasek's last kang (89) and I just don't believe that all of a sudden this rom is not supported anymore...
Can anyone give me an advice about this trouble ? What's happening?
Thanks in advance
Nicola
I had that come up trying to change kernels. I think it has to do with the system not writable on the current 3.0 kernels. It wouldn't even let me format system in CWM but flashing temaseks kang would then let me format system. Also reflash temaseks kang after formatting system as well as gapps.

Ok, so do you think I have to reflash the kang and then try to reflash the kernel ?
I really don't want to format the system; if it's not possible, I think I will stay with the 12 apr. version as long as Vadonka will fix the trouble: by the way It's not that bad ...
Yeah you don't need to format system. I read you need to when changing kernels because some change it. Since your upgrading it won't affect you.

Hi,
I'd like to know which ROM is capable of starting up and run with less memory? What I mean to ask is, I want a ROM that starts up with < 150mb of ram and provide me more space for running my downloaded apps.
I've tried MIUI, CM9, etc., all starts up with 300mb utilized! Gives me only 30-50 mb space
I know my device is getting older Waiting for S3

Hi, does the android version makes any diffrence to you?
If it doesn't i will probbably suggest you to use GamerzRom.
the problem is that the base kernel of Gamerz is SemforeBM and you can't youse 720P quality while taking a video.
however, you can always use another kernel, though with BM the performence are awsome.
Try myics
I usually have 150 mob to spare
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I think Slim and Infinitum are best for RAM on ICS, GamerzRom best on GB.
For GB gamerz rom, i'm in v9 and when i start the phone it use 150mb of ram (200mb of free ram) for v10 it will be more
on ics (slim) you have kernel with 402MB ram
for my phone i still prefer gb and gamerz rom
Use ICSSGS RC4.2 + Devil2 0.72 XL kernel i got 200-210 mb free ram with this config.
Just use a stock froyo rom (2.2 or 2.2.1) like JS8.
JS8 is probably on of the best roms for our device, fast and stable.
Don't forget, if you flash another rom do a factory reset to remove previous garbage from other roms.
Use Slim Rom, always have 200 mb ram free for apps.

I dont mind about the Android version. GB is okay with me. But does Gamerz ROM gives more of usable RAM? How long are you using?
Thanks again!
Currently i don't use this rom because i got tired of messing up with roms and decided to keep my phone as stock as possible.
Before this decision i used the phone for months and i was quite happy, the performance is good at any level (Games, OS Smoothness), i don't remember any app that i couldn't use. Also the network and wireless levels were very good.
Also it's the stock rom with highest quadrant score if i'm not mistaken.
But keep in mind, each type of user has it's rom, so it depends from person to person.

I've now installed Slim ICS 3.1 (from WeUI) and happy about the performance, as I get solid 150-200 MB free RAM memory always. I will use this for 2 weeks and then update here about the performance with apps/games installed.
Also, I will install below ROMs suggested by you guys.

ICSSGS + devil
Stock froyo JS8 ( hopefully, I won't like it)
In Slim ICS, have to try (1) Devil kernel, (2) a kernel with swap (devil again - 0.73)

I am fed up of these stock ICS based ROMs. They don't have enough free ram to multitask freely. Every now and then I have to kill some of them to stop it from hanging. So what I am basically asking is that, whether there is any CM based stable ICS ROM or a stable and fully working PA ROM available?

No CM based stable ICS ROM. For a stable and fully working PA ROM, check out tonyp's PA ROM (based on cm10, which is jelly bean).
As for the multitasking part, using a kernel with ram hack, like kowalski kernel may slightly improve multitasking, but due to the low amount of ram on the device (only 342MB is usable), multitasking freely as you suggest is not possible. When you open a second or third process, expect the first one to get killed to free up some memory.
