[Q] kernels, whats it all about ? - LG Optimus 2x

Hi all
What is all the kernel talk about ?
I want my phone to run the best...
my current ROM is WIUI 2.1.6
its using swiftkernel, but is that the best ? and whats the difference in all the kernels ?
Thanks to you all, and especially everyone how have made it possible to fool around between ROMs, changed my life for EVER

Here, in this thread you can find links to some kernels. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441725
The best kernel, is just a matter of taste. Some prefer for example Vadonkas KANG kernel above Ironkernel. So, read the threads and make up your own opinion about it and see for yourself which one works best.

CM7.2 Temasek KANG P204-30
Ironkernel (Vadonkas KANG)

Hello!
As already stated it is to some extend a matter of taste.
And as always - if it ain't broke don't fix it.
If the SwiftExtremeKernel works for you there is no need to change.
But in short - SwiftExtremeKernel (public) development has been abandoned by its dev so its getting old - this shouldn't be a big problem right now, but you don't get all the shiny new things and bug fixes...
ironkrnL has ramhacks if you can live with certain things not operating you gain memory and a lot of speed though this. I use 32MB ramhack where only reboot isn't working - I can live with that - while the extra memory already speeds up things considerably. Its is balanced between powersave and responsiveness - more to responsiveness and really fast and stable by the way...and tun and cifs are available...
vodonkas KANG Kernel is available in a 00 ramhack version and vodonka tries to make a powersave, a extra responsive kernel and a balanced version - more in his threat in development.
But again - if it ain't broke don't fix it...

Thanks for the small lecture and links
now I just need to know what all the different things means hehe

Very useful thread, so I've learned other thinks about the kernel of this device, now I'm using wiui with SwiftExtreme too, and I have a good battery life, but now I want try the vadonka kernel with the cyano kang version.

I've been trying to understand what are the things to look at when
looking for a kernel for overclocking.
My phone runs on the following

Baseband version - 1035.21_2011075
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9
Build number - GRJ22

Below are kernels based on V20l
Can i install these kernel on my phone (V20f) ?

[FINAL ROMS] 2.3.7 CyanogenMod 7 and 2.2.2 AOSP FroYo | 2.6.32 kernel | PCFighter

CyanogenMod 7 and AOSP FroYo with .32 kernel
No more updates coming. No more Development by PCFighter.
You can download 2.3.7 v6 and 2.2.2 AOSP from forum.android.pl because pcfighter doesn't want downloads to be posted on xda.
CyanogenMod 7.2 / Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread Features:
- new kernel: 2.6.32 for an ultrafast UI & no lags. It's much smoother and faster than most other ROMs with .29
- SmartAss v2 CPU governor makes the CPU scaling always high enough for no lags and still saves battery life.
- USB tether (which doesn't work on .29 kernel)
- accu temperature (does not even work on stock ROM)
- FM-Radio
- Screen Calibration (?)
- CPU overclock up to 864mHz (you shouldn't go over 825, it just causes bugs, kernel panics and wastes battery juice)
- CyanogenMod 7.2 with all features for a high customizability and great performance
- Screenshots attached
Versions:
CyanogenMod 7 v6: For key backlight copy lights.swift.so to /system/lib/hw from v5. give it chmod 644
or the older telease with key backlight and higher brightness:
CyanogenMod 7 v5
+ Service Pack 1
+ Service Pack 2
+ GApps (Market...)
+ boot.img with zice's fixes and changed colours (no Artifacts on wakeup, CIFS, SWAP)
(+ zice's kernel without changed colours)
Clear dalvik cache & cache after installing
AOSP 2.2.2 FroYo Features:
- new kernel: 2.6.32 for an ultrafast UI & no lags.It's much smoother and faster than most other ROMs with .29
- latest (v20e) kernel source with BFS, SIO, CPU governors for being even faster
- FroYo is faster than Gingerbread has a better battery life and is rock stable. It's for everyday usage and with many features compared to stock 2.1.
- manual network search
- Overclock (not very stable, anyway you won't need it)
- Screen Calibration
- Themes available: First Blood and Sense Theme
- Screenshots attached
Versions:
AOSP 2.2.2 v2.3 with 2.6.32 kernel (sometimes bugs)
AOSP 2.2.2 v1.9 with slower 2.6.29 kernel but working without any bugs
All credits go to PCFighter. Don't post downloadlinks for the ROM.
i would like to put it when some bugs are solved
I am making zip patch to boot a .29 kernel, so you will use rom with full options.
new kernel!!!!
Nice will wait until the .32 kernel fully works like a .29 one
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium
Nice to hear that somebody is working on new kernel.
Gosh!!
We're having .32 kernel. Mike's almost finished with .35. We have AOSP and CM7 Gingerbread, AOSP and CM6 Froyo, AOSP and Stock Eclair. We have so much!!! Thanks to all the devs for making this phone wonderful!
please fix wifi drivers. wifi turning on scanning and error. thanks
I know that, I will release new versions of .32 and .29 maybe today.
I really don't get it why people are asking for the .29 kernel Guys, you have muraiks rom wich is the best it can get on CM7 if you ask me :/ I'd let the developer focus on the .32 kernel MAINLY on this rom :/ as you see, there are few bugs and camera doesn't work which is normal but, it's just my opinion nice work will keep an eye on this one

sooo i have tested this and it worked reaaally nice it was fast without overclock and wifi worked for me well too ^^ hope the few bugs are solved soon and this will be a big competitor
@pebe love the rom so far once all the bugs have been fixed in the .32 kernel like the black screen issue and camera i will definitely change to this rom
Good luck with developing.

[Q] Custom kernel. witch is the best ?

Hi.
I am using Modaco GR5 custom rom with stock lg Kernel.
I want to try out something better.
after a quick review and search through the development forum I saw more then just a couple.
What is the best one to use with Modaco's GR5?
thank you upfront!

.
I think you have to define 'best'.
Longer battery charge? performance? stability? higher CPU settings?
Various kernels posted in this site are for various purposes - one or a combination of points mentioned above.
In my opinion the horsepower 2x kernel is the best for gr5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295486. But I think that cm7 is much faster than gr5 even with the horsepower kernel . My personal rom/kernel choice would be cm7 nightly 204 with ironkrnl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359307 . Hope this helps
i think the OP mention about the stock rom, not CM. if GR5 then your option with HP RC9 and PP v8.
Hello!
As someone else already wrote - define "best custom kernel".
Talking about oc/uv for stock rom I would say horsepower – especially since it is afaik the only oc/uv-kernel for stock based roms that is still supported/developed.
But if you ask me what is the best ROM/kernel compo – I would say CM7 latest nightly/KANG (i.e. Rustys) and ironkrnL (links already mentioned above).

[Q] Need help about installing custom kernel on CM 7 - Vadonka's KANG

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

Installing Vadanko tweaks failed for me aswell :-(. My battery drain is ridiculous (think I'll just have to settle with a spare battery)
I'm running Temasek kang and it is quite good.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
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

Hmm... There was a guy who had just the same problem as you, he couldn't boot any kernel versions after 9 January, so maybe you could try this version... Try searching for it at vadonkas thread.

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
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
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

Hi everybody!
Has been solved the problem with some apps and the etana kernel??
Thanks
My english is very bad because i´m spanish and i don´t know very well english :S
Hi elmenda,
I don't have any problems with my current setup (check the sig)! I haven't tried PES2012 though.
Bienvenido
Thats is very strange because I've got Etana_Hoc_lite_otf kernel and is impossible to install any pirate apps
I'm not the only who has these problem, because i've read the same error in other thread

[Q] Temasek's Kernel vs Vadonka's Kernel

Which is the best?
Temasek OC Kernel vs ETaNa 3.0.35 vs ETaNa 2.6.32
Which one to choose for the best Battery Life, good for Gaming and Stable?
Thanks
Lately with ETaNa 3.0.35 I was having alot of SODs :/
Personnaly, when i'm on GB or MIUI v2, i love the Vadonka's 2.6.x kernel even if it's out-to-date...because it is Stable. The 3.0.x version is not that stable as the 2.6.x but it's updating oftenly once a week. The Temasek's kernel is optimized for his Rom, so if you're on CM7, go for it. Btw, those kernels are very excellent. All depend on what you're gonna do with it. You can try another kernel named ironkrnL by SetiroN. This kernel is good with GB and ICS but this developer isn't on this forum anymore, just google it and you'll find it. He's on google+...
Here's the kernel I use for GB and MIUI (WajkIUI too): derkernel, etana, guestekrnL, Jarvis, Skynet, Temasek, vorkKernel, ironkrnL...
For ICS (CM9): harsh, HP SuperSonic, Jarvis, Nova kernel and also ironkrnL
Finally, just give a try on those kernel and give us feedback.
:good: Push Thanks Button if that help :good:
I was using ETaNa 2.6.32 for about 1 month and was very pleased, then i started flashing the Etana 3.0.xx. In the start they worked very well for me but the latest stable and beta made my phone going crazy, tried all settings like 324Mhz minimum, tried without UV but i got lots of reboots and overheating problems.
Best performance I thing i saw at Etana 3.0.34 and the battery improved too in this version, the 3.0.35 was to unstable to me to get an opinion.
Now about the temasek OC and the Etana 2.6.32 (loc_lite) both on 1200Mhz max i think temasek's kernel is bit better all around and i am using it atm. But still i am waiting for vadonka to get back from vacations to get his 3.0.xx back on track.
I think temasek and vadonka brink the best out of our 2x!!!

There are 2 frequently used stock kernels, HorsePower and guestekrnL
Try them and find out yourself which one you prefer
HorsePower has more actual builds, guestekrnL's last build is from June.
guestekrnL comes with a more powerful Tweak & OC app than HP kernel does and offers some goodies like (optional) permanent deactivation of second core, auto 2nd core frequencies, an additional faked OC step for lower power consumption and auto brightness level adjustment.
However I tend to promote guestekrnL as this kernel has been made by me. The reason I stopped developing it is that in my opinion it is perfectly stable and low power consuming.
Just try both and find out which one you prefer. for HP kernel also check the latest pages in HP thread if there are any new builds which aren't listed in first posting.
All questions should go in the Q&A sections
Moving to Q&A
