Apologies if this post is in the wrong forum. I don't have sufficient posts under my account I can't as yet post under the developer (ROM) thread.
I've just installed the CM7 Kang Build P204-54 on my Optimus 2X.
I notice that the overclocking and undervolting is not available under the Cyanogen, Performance, CPU settings. Basically no values show up under Min and Max frequency.
Is this a limitation on the kernel that has been used in this ROM?
If so what should I do in order to gain this feature. I would like very much to undervolt and overclock the CPU to extend the battery life and get better performance.
Temaseks P204-54 comes with stock kernel which doesn't allow you to OC or UV using CM settings. Therefore you need to install a custom kernel like IronKernel or ETaNa Kernel, which allows you to OC to 1.5 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz respectively.
Also you can't UV using CM settings, you should use a third party app for that like Pimp My CPU, or SetCPU.
Thanks for the info.
I've been looking at the Eterna Kernel. What does the RAM hack value mean?
Also will I lose any data/settings, or should I do a backup before flashing?

The different Ram hack values means the amount of extra ram that will be available on your phone. The phone uses the extra ram from the GPU, so that means the bigger the Ramhack, more things don't work. More info can be found in the original thread of course.
Normally, when you flash a kernel you need to wipe cache and dalvik, however ETaNa Kernel will do this automatically for you in its install script, so there's no need for a wipe with this kernel. Therefore you won't lose your data, however making a nandroid backup is never a bad idea.
Vadonkas kernel runs very well. With 32 MB RAM hack almost everything is working but mostly reboot issues. There's also a 32 MB with shared memory but this can have strange behavior. Read the thread, a lot of info.
A little advice...don't set ramhack values...it gives only problems...if you wanna more ram, you can "virtually" add it with compcache in cyanogenmod performance settings

Well 32MB Ramhack works fine for me. No problems whatsoever, only reboot doesn't work but that's easily manageable by pressing the power button another time when you want to power up the phone. It's true that with a bigger Ramhack, more things won't work... But besides that it doesn't cause much problems. Obviously it's your choice if you want a big Ramhack.
By the way: there is also a no-Ramhack version of ETaNa Kernel, so you might wanna consider that.
Is the native O2X RAM so low that the phone gets RAM starved? Is the extra RAM a good thing to have?
If not is there any disadvantage is downloading the 0MB RAMhack version and then going with markop90's suggestion of virtually adding extra RAM (if needed) using the CM performance settings?

The O2X has 512 MB Ram, and about 300 MB is available for the apps etc. Most of the time there's only about 100-150 MB free RAM on your phone. In my opinion this is too low, so I chose for a 32MB Ramhack. Now I've always 100+ MB Ram available. So in my case it's a good thing to have.
There are no advantages whatsoever with the 0MB version. Everything works fine and there's no extra ram added.
There are also no disadvantages with enabling compcache I believe, as said before this creates more ram when you need it. (I also have this enabled)
I'm running the 0 ram hack version here and everything is super smooth. I would suggest starting with this one and if you find you are still running low on ram try the 32MB version etc...
Vadonka offer several versions so you can choose whatever you like. Personally I chose the 32mb Ramhack (not shared!). Only reboot doesn't work but to push the ON-button is not really a problem However, for some others the 1x click is too much and they prefer no ramhack.
You can also choose more ramhack if you like, but then it starts to have more issues like no full video resolution etc.
Thanks for the information guys. I will flash the 0MB Eterna kernel during the coming weekend I think. Or maybe tomorrow if I can spare the time.
Btw, would installation of the kernel remove system settings? I mean through the wipe?
The good thing about ETaNa Kernel is that it wipes automatically wipes cache and dalvik everytime you flash it. So, everytime you want to flash a custom kernel you need to wipe cache and dalvik. That means there's no data loss.

@temasek : Could you point me to a page showing the main features of your Kang . I'm on the CWM 204 nightly and was wondering what are the significant featural differences between your Kang and CM7 nightly . Video / screenshots would be great . Can I install you Kang on top of CM 204 nightly ( without deleting data)
Guess I should make this a new thread for noobs like me

I've flashed Eterna.
I notice SetCPU and Pimp my CPU are paid apps.
Are there any free apps I can use to undervolt?
So i was waiting for this from a long time ?I installed the ICS stock rom using PC odin.GB was much better than this ICS.My ram use always up to 550MB.Even i clear it,it raise up again automatically.N nothing new with the battery life.What should i do now?
What is your question? Be specific
well my pone's memory it even used more than that and everything is fine it goes to deep sleep and battery as a matter of fact lets say 16 hours so far works great seems your flashing better wipe everything and install clean then install CPUspy right away and start watching it must go to deep sleep without issues so look again.

After seeing the ram issue i reset the factory data.Even i formatted my internal storage.But the ram issue is still the same.I don't have anything installed now except JuiceDefender.
Anyway to reduce the ram use? Or i should try with the N7000ZSLPF rom selecting the boot loader?

No need to get panicky about RAM usage at all. Android is meant to work that way:
it keeps your apps cached, so it can start them faster when you need them.

When will people realise android is not like WINDOWS or any Microsh$t RAM is meant to be used on our phones to keep multitasking running smoothly etc. If you want to run a large app/game then android will give it then ram it needs and automaticly keep processors from other apps.
Thus there is never much free ram because its being used to make everything nice and smooth.
FREE RAM IS WASTED, personally I hate seeing more than 200MB ram free
OK thank u everyone for reply.But should i try the N7000ZSLPF rom.What's the different between N7000ZSLPF n N7000XXLPY rom?

Personally I wouldn't yet, give it a week or so make sure there are no huge bugs, wouldn't want to flash it and then find out that after 2 days use peoples phones randomly start failing to boot...sure its unlikely but I like to wait as I don't really have the cash laying around to buy another £500 phone....
Ok thank u.

to increase memory, have you tried using any of those memory optimizers like autokill?
Settings, Developer options, section "Apps"
but my common sense tells me that your phone is going to be a lot slower.
the problem is low Ram memory or not?i'm not sure.
I use the ics and jb roms but from the first time that i use ics roms to now with baked rom,i have a problem.
After 2 or 3 days that i install my apps(with titanium backup),my galaxy s dead.slow.and lagy..:crying:
I dont know if it is my problem or is for all.but if somebody knows the solution post it here
thans guys
I am also interested because it happens to me too.
After a few weeks my phone lag

The speed and stability depends on the Rom and Kernel combination. Free Ram also plays an important role to keep the apps running smooth.
Im not an expert but from my experience of countless flashing of Roms/Kernels, here are recommended:
1. C-Rom Bean v1.4 (w/ Mackay kernel)
2. Mackay Rom v1.2.4 or 1.2.5
These are tested very fast and smooth, no FC of apps, no lags even for using memory-intensive apps like GPS SatNav and videocam.
The above are only suggestions w/c you can choose to try or not.

NO the RAM cannot to increase however the usage of RAM can be decreased...
Swap

You can use swap or compcache. The first one uses SD card space as RAM (obviously, it's much, much slower than the real RAM), compcache uses compression.
Google is your friend.

Instead of having android killing your old apps when RAM is needed, their state will be moved to the SD card.
It will be loaded again in the main RAM (after killing/moving other stuff again) when you need it.
So basically, it's good if your, say, browser keeps closing its tabs as soon as you exit it, but it won't help gaming much.
In fact, it may even cause lag if an application's state is being copied to the SD instead of being killed while gaming (killing it is pretty fast; copying it, not so much, and will cause lag, especially on our low end device).
If you are looking for more memory to install apks, then you should take a look at this:

He meant to increase RAM and not internal memory....
DON'T USE THAT "CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT" or you will end up losing your IMEI number if your are unlucky...

and another question, do you recommend MindCr Rom v2.1? I prefer more Space in RAM and stability.

@mario320, I agree with you in 100 per cent. I've S5830i for few days, and tried almost all ROM revisions for this mobile, but MindCr Rom v2.3 is just what I was loking for. I removed some useless apps from ROM, added other ones, and now it fits me perfectly. So with a clear conscience I can recommend MindCr Rom v2.3
Hi guys. I'm using cm mods for like 2 years. But it seems that it's getting slower and slower. I guess the new apps need more ram or something. Is there any way I can make my i9000 faster? Should I go back to gingerbread? Or any rom you can suggest for faster use?
It's really annoying to use the phone lately. Always lag.

this is normal if you're on JB , try wipe dalvik-cache and use greenify
Its the rom. Greenify will help but my suggestion is to flash a new rom try gamerzrom no slownes nothing just speed

For my phone helped me wipe cache/dalvik cache/fix permissions and factory reset... After these wipes my rom runs fast and smooth but after 2-3 months I need to do it again because the phone getting slower again Try it if you want I hope this can help you
I just use CM7.2 stable and no lag plus I can use chainfire3D in some games which gives them an extra boost... not sure if chainfire3D is compatible with any other version
I am using GamerzROM and the Fly-On Script and I can tell that it's super smooth. I also ticked GPU Rendering in Developer options, it seems to me that it makes scrolling so much smoother and basically everything is working fast.
Thanks for recommends. I installed gamerzrom and it's really good. I mean it's like i bought a new phone. I hope it won't do lag again after a week or so. If it will, then I'll try to add fly-on script I guess.
What is the difference between gamerzrom and CM???

Basically nothing. It's a rom with a modification of stock cm I guess. But very fast (compare to stock cm).
