Desire HD never lagged again, best kernel for stock sense - Desire HD General

So i've decided to post this, simply because ive been enjoying my DHD so much running super smooth, i've done so much experimentation to be sure of my results
yest i was trying my friend DHD and i've encountered bad lag again, i've checked his USB debugging and it was accidentally turned off for god knows why, i turned it on and the situation got better but not as good as mine
i like sense and a stock experience, i have my DHD rooted with the stock 1.32.405.6, i tried almost every Buzz and kamma kernel and i reached one conclusion
ever since both Buzz (v1.0.7) and kamma (v1.0) merged their kernels with the CM kernel its been trouble for stock sense for too many reasons to list in here
Buzz kernel v1.0.6 is the best for sense its based on HTC own kernel just much improved with careful UV, improved CPU governors and all the CPU speed steps you might need, i've been running it using interactive governor at just 1113mhz max and 245min no profiles and its really a dream to use (of course with USB debugging always on)
never lags when you unlock the screen, never lags when you scroll the messages widget or a folder on the home screen, barely any lag when u switch wifi on, never locked up or rebooted, i've been on it for over a month
seriously smooth performance and stability out of this kernel, equally i had my phone charged before going to the pub last Friday, with moderate use i only had to recharge Sunday night thats 48 hours!
i know many of you will flame me for this post and Apache14 will hate me but i wanted to share this and help everyone who has problems with lag
Thank you Apache14 for making my DHD a better device
[edit] Its best to flash it using kernel update utility to prevent boot loops
[edit 2] sadly all Buzz Kernels up to 1.1.4 including 1.0.6 will not work with update 1.72.405.2, it will break the microphone and maybe other things so we need to wait for updated kernels (updated below)
[UDPATE] for Those running firmware 1.72 buzz kernel v1.2.2 runs even better then v1.06, as always flash it using kernel update utility
However for rooted stock 1.72, after flashing the kernel and modules, you will need to replace two lib files otherwise the video playback will break, Apache still didn't include them in his zip file
i've attached them for those who need them (use root explorer to replace the two files) also attached the stock 1.72 kernel with the original lib files just in case you run into trouble
kernel update utility
Buzz Kernel 1.2.2

I saw you suggesting this several times but now i had to try to see, i was using kamma 1.2 but had some lags, indeed DHD is smoother with 1.06

yea sorry i have the tendency to insist when i know i'm right
anyway keep it there for a while and report back, when things load up it runs better
Apache releases for both CM and Sense roms, but his work is no longer optimized for sense roms
kamma uses BFS now which is sometimes faster but causes inconsistency in sense UI frame rates

Actually i tried to flash 1.12 but had a bootlopp and was afraid to try again but now seems ok , you tried 1.12 ?

I doubt Apache will hate you just for saying his 1.0.6 is better for stock sense...
Anyway Apache is a nice guy...no worries

Always use the kernel update utility and you will never get bootloops with any of his kernels

you will get bootloops with buzz kernels unless you use the kernel flash tool
yes i tried 1.1.2 same results as always, never as good as 1.0.6 always contains some bugs and instability, 1.1.2 is aggressively undervolted so its unstable plus contains a serious bug with the interactive governor it was solved with v1.1.3 and v1.1.4
like i said all kernels over v1.0.6 are based on a Cyanogen kernel, which is really so unstable with sense Rom no matter which version

Confirm...
I can confirm that 1.0.6 is the best solution, i have been running it now for 4 days and it is super smooth... I have installed all of these kernels but this one is the best.

yes the problem now we have to update once android revolution is out with base OTA 1.72
it can only work with the coming buzz v1.1.5
v1.0.6 is just so good its how HTC should have released the DHD

hi guyz,
I didnt use kernel update, so...I flashed via clockwork recovery and now it started boot-loop.
I saw I need to boot my device in order to use kernel update tool. so...how to boot it if it's in bootloop??
tnx in advance
EDIT: solved with a clockwork restore

Ok Im running 1.0.6 at te moment , so far so good let's see what the battery usage is like. Definitely speedy!!!!

I agree that 1.0.6 is great! Been running the 1.51 version since it came out few weeks ago. I use min 245 max 1.2 with smartass, no profiles. No lags and great battery life (MAX 2 days). I had some reboots at max freq. so I don't use it anymore. Guess I could just use the uvoc version . Have not tried the newer versions but the reactions seem not so great. If it's because of the CM kernel being used, I hope apache will continue his great work with the stock kernel!

What kernel specifically are you all using? As I see 3 separate kernels available being the 3 underneath this and only 2 of them have a version 1.0.6 which are the top two, just wondered which one you're all using

ah the 1.51ghz one
thanks

i just flashed this 1.06 kernel and it brought back waking the phone via the vol keys! No wonder it didn't work on the new roms that had the newer apache kernels..
so now i can wake the phone with the vol keys and i'm a happy camper!
*edit* realised a couple of things wrong.. the waking up with vol was only immediately after i turned off power to the phone, so that was a false alarm. and secondly i've got no wifi... so i'm gona try to reflash again.
*edit 2* ok wifi's working fine for me.. still no wake with vol keys though.. oh well..

Cant get it to wake via the vol keys. Any further settings required for that?

I might try this and see how it goes, although I have no problems or lag with the latest one, but battery life is aweful because I spend far too much time playing flick kick football and fieldgoal, backbreaker and angry birds whilst listening to music in the background and watching videos in youtube/skyfire, that lasts me around a day

Post you 2.3.3 reviews HERE (and nothing else)

It is very irritating to see every single 2.3.3 theme spammed with:
*where is the link? how to install it? you stink give us ROM now! Why is my screen al red? Why is my mother making me pay for my COOKED diner...*
So I've imagined this thread REVIEW ONLY. So post your reviews, no questions, no comments. We can open another thread questions/comments for this thread.
So I've tought some guidelines for reviews that everyone is asking, having problem with or just wish to know:
What doesn't work? (some people mentioned accelerometers, animations)
How did you install it? (give simple explanation, method you used, with or without bootloaders, etc)
Are there any problems so far? (beside if something is not working, FC-s, app incompability, etc)
General performances? (how fast is the rom, compare it with ROM you used before)
GPS? (no explanation necessary...)
Battery life? (ompare it with ROM you used before, what is the magnitude of battery drain?
Anything else.
I hope this thread is well accepted, I truly believe it is the best way to get all data everyone needs.
Thanx, CROrION
flashed stock + jvk bootloaders + speedmod k13d with heimdall
went into recovery and flashed the rom kitchen beta
then without rebooting rooted in cwm recovery
rebooted.
3D does not work properly
Browser is nicer
Smoother/faster
Theme is a little different
Other minor things I forget
This rom is still beta, samsung would be stupid to release it publicly
What doesn't work? (some people mentioned accelerometers, animations)
Nothing detected. Screen off old-TV-like animation is just a missing feature, removed by Samsung, not a bug.
How did you install it? (give simple explanation, method you used, with or without bootloaders, etc)
Odin + 502.pit + repartition (bootloader upgraded)
Are there any problems so far? Lower WiFi sensitivity/range than in JPY 2.2.1 stock ROM, probably new modem uses lower power to save battery at the cost of range.
General performances? (how fast is the rom, compare it with ROM you used before)
Fastest ever, some minor lags when installing multiple apps from the market, but acceptable.
GPS? (no explanation necessary...)
OK, as good as latest 2.2.1 stock roms
Battery life? (ompare it with ROM you used before, what is the magnitude of battery drain?
Battery life has never been better (only option changed: WiFi Sleep Policy, pure stock rom).
Anything else.
I installed it yesterday with 512 pit file and its ok its faster than js8 in my opinion and bit ram hungry still but not as much as jv1 was useing tottaly stock no mods and quite happy i expect it has disapounted many as it still looks likes froyo also had bit lag in gallery had no fc or major issues seems stable and useable thanks samsung
Sent from my GT-I9000
For now, fastest ROM ever. No lags detected. Top bar is green-gray, looks better than in older version of GB. I've installed using odin, pit 512 and repartition.
3D Not Working Properly
No Ad Hoc Wifi Support
Still Lags
Many Apps gives force close

2.2/ 2.2.1 is still better than this
Battery life is great ! Only had 2% in 8 hours.
Really smooth and lagfree (even before the hacked kernel from supercurio)
Like this ROM and will keep it for now
10 charrrr
What doesn't work? (some people mentioned accelerometers, animations)
- Everything Working accelerometer etc...just Gameloft Nova shows white screen, rest of all Gameloft 3D games RF2011,SC, MC2, BIA, Asphalt6 & many more (10+) works perfectly & better than any froyo. Could not install angry birds from market had to unmount ext SD, install & remount again. This way it works fine...
How did you install it? (give simple explanation, method you used, with or without bootloaders, etc)
- Odin + 512.pit + repartition (bootloader upgraded sbl version) + check bootloader upgrade in odin
Are there any problems so far? Lower WiFi sensitivity/range than in JPY 2.2.1 stock
- probably new modem uses lower power to save battery at the cost of range since wifi signal is slightly weaker but everything runs fine so no big deal.
General performances? (how fast is the rom, compare it with ROM you used before)
- Fastest ever, some minor lags when installing multiple apps from the market, but acceptable. So far its been 12 hours....not a single FC or problem, already installed like 40 apps from market....
GPS? (no explanation necessary...)
- As good as latest 2.2.1 stock roms
Battery life? (ompare it with ROM you used before, what is the magnitude of battery drain?
- Battery life has never been better (only option changed: WiFi Sleep Policy to sleep when screen off, pure stock rom).

Overclocking on the new CM7 nightly?

Sorry to bother you guys!
I was wondering if it was possible to overclock/undervolt Droid X on the new CM7.
Is there just a kernel to flash to unlock it in the built in CPU controls/SetCPU?
Poking around the web nets to find any article of someone that's done it but I may be a failure at searching -_-
Also, I know CM7 is blazing fast (I'm using it) but I wouldn't be a true android fan if I didn't OC everything I own...duh!
To be honest with you the only things I've read about CM7 on the Droid X was about the BETA release, which is basically a semi-working version so I don't think that CPU Control will arrive for quite some time untill they get the stable release out and about. But by that time I bet the bootloader will be unlocked which means it would just be faster and better to get the normal Android OS from Google.

Actually even the initial release was very useable. Several fixes for broken items (GPS, Camera, etc) were very quickly found and now only a few minor annoyances remain.
CM7 runs on the stock froyo kernel, so overclocking is already avail. I've been using DroidX Overclock (I had bought it some time ago) to undervolt, etc.
There have been some reports of DX Overclock not playing nice with Cm7, but its working pretty well for me.
I've been on it for about 48 hrs now, and I must say it's far more useable than AOSP 2.2 or even 2.3 blur. Faster, and of course, better looking.
My camera is still a bit buggy but I'm not crying about it.
I guess I'll hold in there for CPU control implementation
For now, color me impressed by the CM guys and I highly, highly recommend doing it on your Droid X's.
I just SBF'ed back to 2.2, rooted it and installed the rom via Clockwork. Easy as pie!

I use it as well but it seems that the widget never refreshes. Also when i first tried it, it would just force close until I restarted my phone. So yes you can OC/UV CM4DX.
idk about you guys but the only thing i've really noticed not working is overclocking on boot, I've yet to actually have my settings actually stick on boot.

Wait. What are you doing to OC?
It's not built into CM7, right?
use dx/d2 oc to fix oc on boot.
its not rummyd app, itd the less popular one.
been using it and set cpu for while with cm.

I can confirm this, before I jumped ship to the Thunderbolt I had no problems running JRummy's Android Overclock app. I had the "latest module" setting checked, I don't know if that had any effect or not...

Thank you, sir
That app works perfect. I undervolt for normal use then OC when I want to play a game! Wooo. Happy DX user now.
Side note: Is anyone else having issues with the "menu" button not working? It's killing me! Even recovered a previous CM7 when it was working and it refuses to work again. Had it working great yesterday

[Q] Bad question: which ROM to flash?

I feel embarrassed to have to ask this, and I know a lot of people hate this type of post. I want a suggestion for what custom ROM to flash.
I started flashing about 5 months ago with Darky's ROM. And now I like my phone. ( I won't say love, because I love my parents, my children, StarTrek, BSG, hot girls, and icecream and that's it). BUT, the more I flash, the more I get annoyed with the gliches. Darky's 10.1 didn't have working GTalk (w/ Camera), and sometimes has some bugs. I lately flashed Ruyyo EDB1.1 (JVP ROM), but sometimes the phone restarts or crashes, and every 3 days or so, SOMETHING runs down the battery (meaning, the phone over-heats, acts slow, and loses all battery in 5 hours). That might be because of an app, but I think its on the rom. The main apps I use are HandcentSMS, ADW-Ex, and Multi-picture live wall paper. And Gmail (which is FCing every time I restart the phone)
Now there are so many ROMs out, I don't know which one to get. All say they are stable and fast...and I'm sure for many people they are. But I am searching for suggestins. I cannot try out many because I live in China, and because of the damn stupid retarded Great Firewall of China, all downloads of ROMs from Multi-upload are slow (and I need special software to access that site).
So...I'm looking for a ROM which is really stable, which I do not need to do a wipe-flash with and can install with CWM. I would prefer that it use the same lag-fix solution as the Darky ROM so that I can go back to it when they update ...but as I don't every actually activate the lag-fix, probably does not matter.
I'm looking for a ROM which must have voodoo sound (the ability to use my phone with my own AKG earphones without having to unplug said earphones when I answer a call is what convinced me to keep the SGS instead of getting an iPhone4... so this is critical)
I need my ROM to support live wallpapers, so that I can use my LCARS wallpaper with multi-pic.
I prefer my ROM to support the Samsung Music player with the integrated lock-screen widget.
I really prefer ROM which has the front-camera fixed and google-talk operating.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sounds very much like what I am looking for also. I am on Darky at the moment as well. I just want a good, fresh and 100% stable ROM.
- I need root
- Lagfix would be nice
- Needs to be able to work well with Launcher Pro Plus
- Good battery life
- BLN essential
We all need roms that are stable, fast, and with a good battery life... I think I've tried all main SGS roms, but at the end I think I'll stick with MIUI.
I liked Darky's rom, but I've got too many force-closes... maybe it was my fault because I didn't flash it correctly.
But for a month or so I've used MIUI... it's the fastest rom... You've got tons of lockscreens.. including samsung's (I think). Battery life it's not the best, but the devs are really working on making this rom perfect. For example.. for Galnet... this week 2 updates came out, and we're waiting for a big one friday.
My advice: give MIUI a try and you won't be disapointed

There are three reasons why I did not try MIUI. BUT, my reasons may be flawed.
1. In my understanding, MIUI is based on Cryogen (or something like that), which requires that I flash (wipe-flash?) a Froyo ROM first. Which means that I have to download two huge files through the Great FireWall of China. I know that's a lame reason...but that's a fair amount of work for me. Not to mention reloading all my apps.
2. In my understanding, CM (and hence MIUI) does not have the Voodoo sound and does not have the Samsung Music app. The music app is not so big a deal because (in my understanding), CM and MIUI have their own in-notification-bar music controls (which is why I like the Samsung music app). However, I need Voodoo sound in order to allow use of my own headphone while talking on the telephone.
3. In my understanding, MIUI is supposed to look like iOS, which I do not like.
Please let me know if my understandings are wrong.
I also didn't try it because I don't want to flash an updated version twice a week. I want a good working ROM from the start with no need to update until the next Android version comes out.
I am oso on darky's rom previously but having same issue. Then tried Tweaky's rom and Juwe's rom too. Juwe's rom is fast but its bit dull colored and lack of sgs2 apps like Tweaky's rom.Now I am using my own rom base on JVP with Talon kernel with OC, actually it's a mix and match of Tweaky n Juwe's rom. Everything is working so far with some sgs2 apps, tw4, gtalk with video call.Flash n wipe is a must for a start. If u r interested I can post a link for u.

CM7 (CyanogenMod7) has Voodoo Sound for sure, even Voodoo Colour. BLN should also be possible with a custom kernel.

best looking rom, fast and reliable its galnet mui. Battery life it;s not great yet but galnet its working hard to fix.
i think that after flashing couple of roms you will decide.
My advice: Juwe's Smart Edition v5.0 XXJVP .... he have all what you need .... and much more

Exactly. Just diable lagfix, full factory reset and finally flash Juwe's ROM with CWM.

I tried most of these roms. I tried to play dungeon defenders with some roms. Holy.. that was very laggy and and unplayable. Now I'm on MIUI 2.2 rom. I tried dungeon defenders again. Wow.. Smooth and smooth... all FPS are X2 on quadrant. My device clock is 1600 mhz max as default as miui. Sometimes it stucks and restarts. But galnet works really hard. And battery is not the best ok. But thats worth it. You can download different themes with theme manager. Also there is an air update app for muiu. Which updates your device latest miui. I l
will stick with that..

but the updates is too fast for me to chase
i came from mcgv5.3 to miui 2.2 without going thru mcgv 7.6
personally wat i think miui lacks off is the slide to call or sms from contacts and phone calls there

Exactly. Just diable lagfix, full factory reset and finally flash Juwe's ROM with CWM.

Why factory reset? Why not just do no-wipe flash with CWM?
Part of my problem is that there are a lot of ROMs, and if I'm wiping everytime I do a new ROM, its takes quite a while to restore to full functionality...albiet the end result may be more stable.

I tried most of these roms. I tried to play dungeon defenders with some roms. Holy.. that was very laggy and and unplayable. Now I'm on MIUI 2.2 rom. I tried dungeon defenders again. Wow.. Smooth and smooth... all FPS are X2 on quadrant. My device clock is 1600 mhz max as default as miui. Sometimes it stucks and restarts. But galnet works really hard. And battery is not the best ok. But thats worth it. You can download different themes with theme manager. Also there is an air update app for muiu. Which updates your device latest miui. I l
will stick with that..

So you are saying that you had better battery life with others, and MIUI sometimes gets stuck, but you like MIUI because its faster for games and themes? That's not really what I need (although I do like the notification options I saw on it has). I am more not into this because I'm not into having to Flash back to Froyo in order to install.

CM7 (CyanogenMod7) has Voodoo Sound for sure, even Voodoo Colour. BLN should also be possible with a custom kernel.

Hearing this, I'm tempted to bite the bullet and go through the CM7 install proceedure. I then will have to upload the google apps and the new google talk. But the end result may be pretty cool (assuming does not drain battery more than other ROMs). Thanks for the info.
MIUI rom doesnt stuck and restarts as your think. Battery life is not horrible. You can control your headset in miui with different module like voodoo sound. I think thats the best rom to stick now. You can get air updates and you dont need to wipe your data for updates. Just give it a try. I guess you will like it.

Thank you. I don't think it gets stuck. Its just that you said in previous post "Sometimes it stucks and restarts." I may try this out. I think I'm going to wait and see what this JVQ-based ROM is like before I do any ROM which requires a wipe.
Slightly off-topic...About my phone...I'm not sure, but I think sometimes the heavy battery drain and restarts are caused by Handcent SMS. I downloaded an app called "OSMonitor" It showed that sometimes Android System is continuously using 40% of CPU, and at those times, Handcent is using 50% of CPU. I guess I should delete Handcent and see if my phone gets better stability and performance. Seems maybe the stability problems were might be blamed in the wrong place. BUT...I really like Handcent...
I'm in a similar situation and decided the only way to get what I want is to put it together myself. This also means you probably wont have the latest and greatest because they might be cool but not always the most stable.
What you can do is, get a deodexed stock rom, install a stable kernel with the mods you need (voodoo, bln, rooted and busybox etc) than use Titanium backup to remove all the things you don't want. presto, you'll have what you wanted...
I think the best option is CM7.
Greetings.
I have CM7 and must re-charge every 8h... Moderate use. Are other ROMs better battery-wise?

[Q] Which ROM for me?

Hello, I am a desperate GT540 user, a real desperate user.
My problem with my phone as is now (official 2.1) is that it is so laggy at times. The response is so awful from time to time that I really want to crash the phone at the wall (and damn I just painted the wall).
Sometimes when I got a call it shows instantly who is calling, some other times it start ringing, it slowly light the buttons, then the screen, then it show some graphics and finally it identify who is calling me (and the whole coffee shop at the moment is looking disturbed at me like "what take so long to pick up?").
This lag can happen in other places too, like for example when opening my SMSs.
My last hope now is a custom ROM.
What I want?
Well I don't want to play games or have some mind blow performance in benchmarks etc, I just want to use my phone as a phone, I want it to be quick and responsive.
I do care about the apps to work ofc (GPS and Gmaps can come in hand all the time) but I don't care if those apps are slow or the games are losing frames etc.
Also I want to have some android version that allow me to install apps in the SD card, if possible. Otherwise a workaround is something than nothing I guess.
So which rom to get? A link on how to install it as well will be very very welcome.
Thanks in advance!
CM7 Pcfighter is very fast ROM but have bug with wifi, its working but to turn on you need few times click, other working great on this ROM.

The bug doesn't sound like a problem, especially if I am aware of it I will not have a problem at all.
Is there any step by step guide to install this?
Thanks!
sure here is guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
and ROM's:
2.3.7 Oxygen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335317
PCF's CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294516
Thank you very much, I hope this can give some life to that phone because I really hate to realize that I wasted 200 euros on that phone.
(I mean wasted because first LG abandoned the support while the phone was still on the market, and never got a newer android version and because I want my phones to be with me for at least 4-5 years, before I get a new one).

I use mur4ik's CM7 ASIS rom and I purchased and set up Autostarts from Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
With the combination of these I am satisfied.
Many apps are started by different activites, like "phone unplugged" or "recieve sms" and I disabled the unnecessary app starts with Autostarts.
I mean my alarm clock does not start automatically anymore if I plug the phone in for example and many many more like this.
With this method my phone runs smoothly.
yes asis is good if you want to flash a fastboot version use the mirror in my sig its compressed so it download faster
Mikes Beta 4
ok... so I set things up to install the CM7.
I follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
but it is missing the fastboot.exe, the link is invalid. Any other link to get it safely?
Also it is noticing the situation of no LG logo and animations at startup, a situation that applies to me as well and it recommend this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10238074&postcount=41
The problem is that with the solution is another missing file "out.kdz", the link get's me in some Czech site, which requires to install some toolbar before it let me download.
So any other link for that file as well?
Also anyone knows if it is required to fix the Boot logo problem before I go on with the recovery?
Download Android SDK tools you will find fastboot.exe there

I am completely noob on this thing, where can I find those tools?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/tools-notes.html
EDIT:
I got it working!
I found the files here and there and I followed the guide posted above.
Now I have Cyanogen Mod 7 on and everything seems great so far
Thank you everybody for the help, you just made me happy
original post
Thanks.
Any idea about the other file? Or any idea if it is not necessary to fix the no LG logo problem, to add a custom rom?
edit: I got the SDK zip but there is no fastboot.exe in there :|

CM7 is good, whichever u use! Guess the best cm7 is pcf but i've not tried all of the roms released!
I recomend u to use froyo (2.2) cause has the best performance, REALLY smoth, fast, everything... And our phone gets it best than GB, cause i've tested that when I get a text or Whatsapp msg, the keyboard shows faster in Froyo than GB (FOR EXAMPLE) which mean that has better response.
I recomend u Froyo cause i'm like you and I get what u say xD, I hate when someone calls and I can see who's, or the lack of speed on daily things or common things as showing an img or smth similar!
Best froyos are PCF 2.2 v2.3 AOSP, Superfast Froyo (airbus360) and MikeG's CM6 Froyo... Give then a test or test all roms you want so u can choose on your own!
But be REALLY carefuly about the process cause some bugs are shown when flashing roms!
Remember to clear cache and load battery xD
Thanks, but so far the CM7 with 2.3 is OK.
I have no lag at all and even the battery life improved.
Of course it is a bit early to be sure that this is my mod, but so far everything is fine (the wifi bug appears from time to time but not always, but it work after a few attempts).

Ok i understand thats your opinion, And ofc i have no problem with that
Whats with everybody saying froyo is better for our phone!
I can honestly say the best rom for our phone at the minute is Mikes ICS (if your willing to cope with out Deep Sleep. YES i know its a big ask )
I cant understand why even mike appears to say on his twitter ICS dosent make sense on our phones.
Ive been hovering around these forums for the past 12 months + and i have try'd all roms that have been posted. Im Picky
But Mikes ICS is out right the best for looks, speed, smoothness, performance and multitasking
I have had absolutly no problems using ICS (deep sleep not included )
Its a shame there seems to be more support for Froyo than ginger and ICS
like for example if i had to move from ICS i would go back to GB because for me it preforms better than froyo.
Is there Something ive missed with froyo or can a hardware issue cause a rom to preform differantly on 2 different devices.
(guess i had the one good processor of the line )
because im baffled why people choose froyo
@up i like froyo better then gb
i dont really think for me that is that cm9 is ready for daily use yet some bugs not squashed

[Q] Perfomance control in smooth rom 5.2 is missing

After I flashed smooth rom with motley kernel the performance menu is missing ?
I flashed v 5.0 and the performance menu is there .. anyone could tell me its supported in v5.2 or not ?
Just use a 3rd party app to control kernel parameters.
I really don't think a kernel can just make a ROM feature vanish just like that! Check with other kernels.

I tried with the other kernels in the rom like trinity kernel . its not a feature in v5.2 it needs an app like setcpu to work
My point exactly.
I started smooth using 5.0 w franco loved it till I got tired of goo yelling at me to upgrade.
I moved to 5.1 and started reading that franco had gone john rambo so the consensus seemed to go with the m kernal instead, the developer recommended trickster mod in conjunction. I used both and thought neither fit well with 5.1 because I started getting serious heat as well as my screen going yellow. It could be both but my hardware was fine before that build and I did make sure to keep the juice turned down. not even Col samuel Trautman can save that nexus. watch out for that M kernal it was running 300 faster than it should have at boot 5 days ago. If I were a betting man that could be one reason if it wasnt an accident something also was wrong with the orientation of the navigation bars in the couple hours I got to play with it. Good luck
edit: Both of those kernels were good not maniacs who snap and run into the woods(sorry again I was not implying that at you folks who work hard on them), it was very a smooth experience but the kernels felt like hotrods in the store I was shopping for a gas efficient hybrid. he said he just wanted to be left alone nobody listened
