I usually dont post these kinds of threads, so this one is an extreme rarity.
How many of you all are as relieved as i am that Kitkat is deadlock free? How many of you that ran jss/jls builds are relieved that they havent had a deadlock since trying out one of the Kitkat builds? And especially, how many of you are happy that the jwr vs jss/jls confusion is finally over. i am! im overjoyed that we have finally past this moment of suffing and confusion
what do you think? is anyone else as happy as i am? i cant be alone here..

and still deadlock free with a jss kernel on kitkat, yeah, that's cool
and yes single release > multiple
i'll be happy when kitkat comes out officially so we can get some custom stuff going. The Nexus 5 port is good for now. Also never heard of JLS builds. Just jwr/jss.
Isn't there a chance google could still release another build since nothing has been officially OTA yet. So not free from jss/jwr stuff yet?

What is a deadlock?
I'm very excited i will be able to use aosp roms again without deadlocks Cant wait to get the new kernel

It occurs sometimes when you type in an app (like Whatsapp, for instance).
The Keyboard and in fact the entire system locks up and you can't do anything about it.
Most of the time the screen still registers your inputs (which you can verify by activating the vibrate feedback) but the system doesn't react.
Sometimes these lockups only last a few seconds, sometimes the entire phone locks up completely so you have to restart it, though that is rare (at least for me it didn't happen yet).

its something that every user of a jss/jls rom experienced. some much more than others, but everyone experienced. while typing, the keyboard and everything else would lockup, for 10-30 seconds, then continue like nothing happened. for many, it would also happen in random times, and in random app. for some people, it happened constantly, for others it was a once in a while occurence.
I am totally relieved with KITKAT coming as a HERO and kicking out the a$$ of JWR/JSS kernel,ROMs..
Imagine, No wait why imagine - Now threads will be question free which version is this JWR/JSS? Which kernel should flash?
All the developer/OPs will be happy, relieved that they have no need to mention in the thread about this JWR/JSS sh*t.
All good,All KITKATTY..

I am happy too, I never wanted to use any JSS rom because of deadlocks. Now it's time for my N4 to try CM for the first time (when it's out lol).
well @simms22 I am having really big lag in kit kat...
Maybe a hybrid jellykat is comming... :good:

lag, really? try trinity with it if losing wifi isnt a big deal. or, you can try ART hidden in the developer settings. its kinda like the custom dalviks that we were using in 4.3, only built in. it speeds things up. you will need odexed gapps for it to work though, or you wont boot. heres pa gapps odexed https://db.tt/EJ59aseZ

So is it definitively true that 4.3 kernels work with 4.4? I need wifi, cause my data plan is not the biggest one so I think I will wait to custom kernels (which will be now very more useful than in 4.3). It's a pity, since 4.4 is more battery efficient for me.
I think this low RAM consumption and better battery life is due to the accomodation of 4.4 to devices with lower specs than nexus 4 so developers will have to re-manage RAM to adapt it to our original neccessities...

well, all the 4.4 roms are still using the 4.3 binaries. so they arent true 4.4 roms, but hybrids. 4.3 kernels might not work with the 4.4 binaries. plus im sure that there are lots of other goodies that we are missing out on at the moment.
It was always beyond me why anyone ran buggy jss roms when there was perfectly fine jwr releases. I've never even seen a deadlock.
Hi everyone,
I must say that android 4.4 sounds like a great improvement for us as our device is getting older \=
However, I'm afraid that we may not get a stable rom running this version. I mean' we might get some rom that some how runs it, but still as many roms to our device thease days - they are not stable at all.
So what do you think? will we get it or not?

Lol why not @szezso is working on it. We are moving away from CM and going towards something closer to AOSP because of the changes in cm. Fyi.
The CM ROMs by szezso are basically stable..

I'm sorry but I don't think szesco's roms are stable enough. I do appreciate his and contribution of course but since he doesn't have much time and also has many projects simultaneously, it results with poor stability and discontinued projects.
I'm using lacost rom and that one also is very poor like many other. It seems like it's better to use Android 2.3 based roms.

Cuz the way I define stable is good enough to be a daily driver with the RARE random rebooting.

What rom do you use? I think I would define such a rom as stable too.
With lacost rom I'm experiancing every day (and sometimes more the once) situations were an app stops to respond or something and the whole phone get stuck, nothing responses. sometimes I have to wait, sometimes I have no other option but to remove the battery.

You can't compare ROM stability to app stability. I've seen lots of cases where apps just stop responding and that really doesn't have much to do with the ROM being unstable.
With the phone getting stuck from time to time, I experience no such problem or VERY RARELY on each AOSP ROM here. Sometimes, you may lose responsiveness but you can just lock your screen and then unlock it and that will fix it.
4.4 for HTC S2 will be dream coming true especially for phone with low memory.
JB from sezscoz is stable.. But i do find a lag in scrolling or navigating to diff app or setting etc..
Well, 4.4 is basically 4.3 with a couple of changes, and it was also designed to run on 512mb of ram, so if we got 4.3, i dont see a limitation on 4.4
Press "thanks" if I helped you out!

It would be quite different taking into account its 'More' Pure AOSP rather than CM. It does look a bit different and apparently far 'lighter'.

Oh of course, I know. It isn't a specific app, sometimes it's the chrome sometimes whatsapp or Trebuchet launcher sometimes I don't even know what app causes it.
Something with the rom isn't right... the whole phone just stops responding.
I had love to use that AOSP rom, any recommendations on a specific one?

CM build are very nice, but battery optimizations are bad.
On Sense roms my phone is working about 3-4 days!
And CM roms kill my IncS battery for 1-2 days
Official nightlies have started for the T on CM 11. I had a quick play last night. It seemed okay, though I did notice the odd blue flickering. One thing I did notice is that the install package is around 30mb smaller than OmniRom. I didn't have time to give it a full test, so went back to OmniRom. I'd be interested to know what you guys think of it.
using 20131213 nightlies, so far so good, haven't encounter any blue screen and the rom is stable for use. ART still have many problem, and battery life is better than JB..:good::good:
Using FXP250 CM11, so far so good
I've been using official CM11 for the past 24 hours just to see what the most recent builds were like (the early builds werehugely unstable.) My impressions are that it's faster and smoother than OmniRom 4.4. I don't think it's placebo either. As far as I can gather, the official OmniRom builds are using older branches as the newer ones are breaking Nexus devices. I assume CM11 is using newer branches as the speed difference is very noticible. It's really nice to use. Also, it seems to have more features than Omni, though this may simply be that I've been using OmniRom for so long that CM's unique features are instantly noticible.
I haven't had any flickering so haven't had to disable HW. There's blue screens, but as most of us are aware, this isn't a rom issue but a kernel one and will hopefully be sorted when 4.3 is released.
There are bugs though. I can't get GPS or location to work. Everything is switched on but my location cannot be found. For me it's not a big one, and it may be device specific, but it is worth considering. Also, the battery is...well... inconsistent. Last night between midnight and 4am my battery dropped 40% while my phone was supposed to be asleep. I charged it again this morning and while it isn't as good as OmniRom, I'm currently on 77% after 4 hours. So yes. Battery inconsistent. Also, I had problems syncing with Google. Wouldn't let me when I installed the ROM, woke this morning to find it synced. A bit weird.
What else... I haven't had to flash superuser. Which is good. I also don't think that I'll have to reflash Gapps on each update. I'll find out tonight.
To summarise, it's a very fast ROM with a few bugs. I'll be interested to see what OmniRom is like on the new branches.

Great review. If you could let the battery settle down for a day or two and compare it to that of Omni it would be great! I am currently on Omni but cannot waste any bandwidth to dl cm unless it's worth it. So report back if possible.

I've been using it for 48 hours now. Omni's battery is better but by how much is difficult to say. I'd say I was a light user. Bit of web browsing here, an odd text there. I listen to a couple of hours worth of music on my way to and from work each day. I very rarely watch videos or play games. Each night I have to charge my phone, but I had to do this with Omni too. Right now for me the performance difference between the two ROMs is worth the poorer battery time. I know that battery is important for a lot of people, but as long as it gets me through the day then I'm good.
When I flashed last night's update via the phone's CyanogenMod update, I kept Gapps but seemed to lose CM's superuser status.
To be honest, OmniRom is excellent (it's the longest I've stayed with a single ROM since I first unlocked my phone), and when it reverts back to the newer branches then I'll go back to it.

Guys, I'm using CM roms for about a month now.
Started with stable 10.1.3 and stuck with it for a couple of weeks.
But huge battery drain over (every) night led me to try nightly 10.2, and yesterday I flashed nightly CM11.
I really like these roms, but I get 30 to 60% of my battery consumed over one night.
I used Better Battery Stats (BBS), and the baseband_xmm_power wakelock keeps my phone awake for about 90% of the time (I get only about 30 minutes of deep sleep during 8 hours).
The phone is laying still in a table, with only 2G network enabled. Wi-fi, mobile data, synchronization and 3G are off during all the night.
I'm using CM's default kernel for now, but I used iodak's v8 with 10.1.3 and 10.2, and the problem was the same.
Strangely, during the day, when using the phone and having other wakelocks, I barely notice baseband_xmm_power is BBS logs...
Is there any solution to this problem?
damn maaan... where you came from?? there are hundred of threads about it.... this is a known problem.. seems even cm11 official nightly has this pain.. !!BUT!! unofficial cm11 and omni kitkat seems dont have that problem but they are still WIP and only camera not working...
next time please search first

Also, I find it strange that not all users have this problem, even with the same config and in the same country, like this one.
So, instead of treating me bad for asking, could you point me to a solution that doesn't imply changing rom?

You obviously did not read enough.. Baseband wakelock is the single biggest problem on this phone and devs are trying to get rid of it since the phone was released! They say that in KK the wakelock is gone.. So try and see! They say that iodak9 resolved it.. Try and see! If you dont want to change ROM`s try different kernels and see which is the best for you. Not every ROM/kernel works good for everybody so you just have to try them out.
P.S. Nobody disrespected you or treated you bad, it just funny to me that people still ask about this problem after millions of threads and answers about it..
there is simply no simple fix for baseband wakelock which is a very random wakelock for all users.. i confirm up^

As above, there is NO solution other than changing to a ROM that doesn't have the problem. If there are variances then it may be caused by the service provider, the network polling, the wireless type, the baseband, many things that randomly affect different people different ways.
Alright, thank you all for your answers.
I'm using CM11 rom (KK 4.4.2) and the problem is still here.
I've flashed latest iodak kernel (v9), and will see tonight what happens.
I apologize for opening this thread, but all the posts about this problem that I read were already old, so maybe some newer solution could exist.

Just to add my experience.... I'm using Miuiandroid and Optimus prime kernel 2.7 from anykernel thread since several weeks , no XMM_BASEBAND drain It just lags a bit
I'm still around, checking this forum from time to time. Looks like its all dead.
I wondered if there is anyone out there still using this phone daily, like me.
If there is anyone, please share your ROM info too. Which ROM is the best for your liking?
I'm still using X-Los13_p880-ufoFFICIAL-201904CVE--1c6ea70874 since 01-2020.
Yep. I'm still around, too. And checking from time to time, too.
But, in the last years all is going veeery silent. That's not surprising, i guess.
My 4X HD is already in daily use, too... and i am using X-Los13 201711 (last version with QR).
Alternative is AOSP Nougat 7.1.2 or CM13/MM 6.0.1 quite good (if you don't need QR).
But... i see, you already know that!
PS: My secret favorite was always SlimKAT 4.4.4 build 9 (after Rom, install the Cyodak-X3-Kernel (!)).

Wow! Thanks for the reply.
Devs were active at the peak of Kitkat era so our device has a wide variety of KitKat based roms. I've tried many rom+kernel combination back in the day. Now 4.4.4 become completely obsolete for me as some of my -must have- apps. forcing Android 5+.
I didn't try Slimkat 4.4.4 build 9 with Cyodak X3 though. I'll try it sometime for fun!
Latest CM13 is a performance monster. If I remember correct, it also has codec tweaks too. Allowing for better bitrate video recording and/or stereo sound on recorded videos. Main drawback is unstable.
AOSP 7.1.2 is the highest Android version available for our device but it's dull AOSP.
@oF2pks 's Linage is like a balanced medium. Performance is good and it's very stable for daily use. 30+ days runtime without rebooting is almost always possible.
Do you have any GPS related issues?

Sorry for my very, very my late response.
Sometimes, i use my P880 vicarious for Navigation (or for Geo-Caching) and i had never problems with GPS.
Works fine for me.
I agree with you. But with X-LOS13 i noticed that when there are more and more apps on the smartphone, booting takes longer and longer (like 5 minutes) and also generally slows down. To counteract this, i've started sorting out apps that shouldn't be booted with a reboot (i.e. only run if you open them by yourself). With this I could e.g. reduce the boot time to 3 minutes. The disadvantage, however, it takes longer to start the app (because its not preset in RAM by booting).
PS: I loved SlimKat 4.4.4. Unfortunately, there are no new apps backwards compatible (SDK/API20).

I had to re-flash LOS13 several times from this reason too.
The last time however, I needed QR code so I flashed Euphoria 5.1.1 latest 20160208 and still using it.
Raised the max. CPU freq. to 1700 too. No signs of slow down yet.
Hi! Good to see some activity!
I want to repair my old LG. The screen and touch are trashed and the battery is puffed. I found an almost free screen with LCD and battery and I'll repair it.
I remember I tried so many ROMs in this phone... The best performer was the Mourta's 4.4.4, but the battery consuption was bad. I ended up flashing the stock firmware 4.1.2, but it was still usable back in the day. Today is useless.
Just booted my P880
