Just saw this and curious if this will work with our hd2 and hopefully devs aren't too busy trying it....

I think the devs are looking into it for sure.
You must appreciate that the devs are also working for free and share their builds with us.
Nothing stops you from developing your own build and sharing it with us.
I wonder if you would also appreciate it if people would 'demand' something from you.
So sit back, relax and appreciate all this fine work from people that do this in their own free time.

wow what a fool..
im asking a question whether its going to be released,
i wasnt demanding anything -_-
besides, when i have something to offer to the community, i share it, unlike most of the guys here.
and when i do share, its a huge post just for those who are still noobs
So I was just browsing the news on the portal, and saw the 3K+ quadrant scores that this idea brings...
I remember seeing one of the Desire builds hit 3k+ as well, and i believe it is due to this mod when building the ROM.
Can any developer, or ROM cook give ideas on how to update current roms with this DATA2SD mod, i hear it has great benefits for speed as well as some neat quadrant scores that makes people smile when seeing it!
anyway, here is the link to the thread for the mod, let me know what you think?
Thanks,

I'd love to get this... Actually trying to work on this myself, but my skills ain't that good yet xD
Guess what. After trying about 10 custom roms (2.2 and 2.3) the past several months and experiencing various issues with each one of them, I tried stock rooted 2.2 and removed some annoying apps, and it is great. Everything works (4g, 3g...) Gmail works as promised (no mails stuck in outbox like I get with the most recent Fresh) signal is strong, the camera focuses properly, and the battery actually lasts LONGER than it does with CM7, SavageMod, Sprint Lovers, etc. I know the customs are all tweaked up, but the stock rooted is 0% slower in terms of everyday use. (I do not use test bench scores because they have little bearing on what the phone actually feels like to use.)
Stock is better in many ways than any of the customs I have tried. No joke.(Once some of the Sprint junk has been removed of course.)
Try it for yourself.
Just sayin'.

I personally am not a fan of Sense anymore after Salvage. It's basically pure Gingerbread 2.3 with no extra added junk EXCEPT 4G WiMax. Runs smooth as butter, and couldn't ask for anything else. Bugless too, not counting HDMI which no one uses...
Have you tried Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo? In my experience it is the most stable Sense rom, while also being extremely fast and great on battery life. I get anywhere from 30-16 hours depending on how much I use it and what I'm doing/how my reception is. Lots of eye candy too. Not sure what errors you have been encountering..but everything works as it should with Myn's. Have you tried custom kernels? Netarchy's kernel has given me the best battery life and performance, I have been using setcpu with the smartass governor. On a side note I have been using Salvage Mod since wimax was added and it's freaking awesome!

[Insert rude remark about posting in the wrong section here.]
113 posts, a member here for a year, and you post this non-sense in the development section.
That alone tells me you have no idea what you are doing so why the heck would I take advice from you.
Stock evo really isn't all that bad. I would get a better optimized kernel instead of the stock kernel, but that's about it. I run EchoHD on mine for now, since I haven't had any issues with it with Revol, but I mess around with gingerbread and CM7 with it from time to time. CM7 I easily have nice battery life in, but I can't use it with my network sadly. =\
I was in the same situation ..... I think the problem is when You flash a new ROM you should give it some time to settle down. I use to install all the available MODS and themes plus 50 different apps right away ending up messing the whole system. Now I don't flash new fonts, tweaks, mods right away with a fresh ROM but then again it's just me, a novice user with very limited knowledge. I have been using FROST ROM for a month and it has been very stable ... although there are few new awesome looking ROMS just came out ( King's Ultra R2, Warm Z, Salvage MOD 1.0 etc ...) that are very tempting. I am to the verge of flashing a new one, it's just hard to pick one. After seeing all these insane ROMS who would go back to stock ... ! NOT ME.

^^Exactly This^^
My experience with Myns was ok - used it for about a month. But it had battery issues, and more importantly it would randomly lose 3g connectivity for maybe 30-60 seconds at a time. Same problem with Fresh. This is terribly annoying if you are browsing web pages. You end up clicking on a link 20 times trying to get it to load properly.
I was most recently using CM7 and it works well except the battery drain is just silly. And I know I am not the only one with battery drain on CM7.
The thing is, it seems there are always drawbacks with the customs. Some of the drawbacks are deal breakers like losing 3g, or botching the gmail app.
So while the developers are doing some awesome work (much appreciated!) when I step back a few paces, I realize that I have not gained much in real world usability, and I have often sacrificed stability or functionality for some minor gains which are often not noticeable without the use if benchmark tests.
I tend to agree with OP
I too have flashed many ROMS, and have also found best overall performance with a basically stock ROM. I say "basically stock," because I run RicSims 3.70 Turbo, which is supposedly mostly stock but with minor performance tweaks.
I run the stock HTC #15 Kernel included in ROM and, along with Seido 3500 Ext Batt, experience phenomenal battery life (see some of my other posts for results/screenshots).
I just recently tried a CM7 2.3 GB ROM w/ working WIMAX, and while everything worked perfectly (along with awesome Linpack and Quadrant scores), the battery life just wasn't there, so I went back to trusty Ricsims ROM (although I still have CM7 w/ WIMAX backed up via Nandroid, and can switch back and forth within 15 or 20 minutes, should I get the itch).

Since you posted this in the wrong section, I would make one suggestion to you. Just stop replying to this thread until it gets moved and let it die, or you are going to continue to get flamed. I have already tagged it to be moved to the correct section, and I am sure others have as well. Just please try to pay a little more attention next time before you post. I could flame you but I am not going to. Usually its understandable but NOT okay to post questions in the dev forums, but your original post is going to get ya alot of negativity, I am not really sure what the point of it was?
Mr. Yellow, I am not asking a question. Just posting about my experience with the various custom ROMs.

Other than the wrong section to post this.... what is wrong with what he said? I don't agree with it but to say you're going flame somebody? Flame? The guy likes stock rom and wrote it in the wrong forum. Careful Ronnie you might get flamed! Sorry you have over 300 posts so we better chill. LMAO

Honestly, "Mr. Yellow" has done what everyone else in this thread should have done, by kindly pointing out that the thread is okay, its great to share his experience, but he posted it in the wrong forum. So "Mr. Yellow" shouldn't be flamed. And if you flame the OP, you're honestly just as bad as to committing to this thread with nonsense.
Great statement OP regarding your set up, just please, next time, post threads of this manner in the general/q&a, as the development section is for developing roms, kernels and things of the such.
There has been talk of general about not allowing the creation of a thread in development if the person has less than 20 posts.
I believe this topic is proof that that will not work. I see what Mr. Yellow is saying. He makes a point. This should not have gone here. The OP mentioned no question was asked. But there was also no development. That's what General is for.
These topics piss people like me and Mr. Yellow off. This section gets cluttered with all this and it doesn't stop. It's getting old.
I am running Taboonay 2.0 and wanted to apply one of the custom kernels. I see people mostly use either thor (tegraowners) and richardtrip kernels. Can somebody enlighten me on the pros, cons and main difference between the two (especially if you had experience with both). I tried to search but could find any thread detailing this information. Thanks in advance.

RichardTrip Kernel. Complies fully with GPL requirements, Source code is available.
Thor Kernel. Does NOT comply with GPL requirements. Source code NOT available.
Otherwise, doesn't really matter. GPL compliance is the main pro/con.
Try both and see what your tab likes better. I tried both and am now on Thor 3.4 and am able to o/c to 1.68 stable.

i don't see how GPL compliance is a pro or con to much of anybody except developers. The majority of people wouldn't know what to do with the source code if it was released.
I would however agree with the previous post. Try both out and see which runs better on your tablet. They are both well built kernels. Also read through each of the kernels forum post and see what issues people are having with each kernel. If the issues being had don't effect you and your tablet runs good on said kernel i would say you have your winner.
I really don't understand why the discussion had to go to GPL, once again. Arguing over GPL compliance in such a topic is just about semantics. The majority of the end users don't really care, one way or the other. The OP was asking to see which of the two gives him better value for his device, with the fewer problems. Saying that the main pro/con is the compliance or lack thereof to the GPL is totally not helpful.

This is absolutely correct. I am basically trying to understand the difference between two kernels from the technical standpoint as it relates to functionality/performance/stability/design. Having said that, still knowing that one kernel is GPL as opposed to the other is an interesting fact to know and at least provides some information (though you are correct to point out that this likely does not make much difference to me or others when choosing one over the other).
Also, replies of sort "try both and see for yourself..." are absolutely inane. Obviously, I can and most likely will try both of them. That is not the point of my original post. I was just hoping for some technical and user experience insight from people who used it and/or worked on it. Thanks.
there really is no good answer for you. Look at each thread, they both have similar if not the same modules built in, they both have OC ability, they both have great dev support.
The only issues i see or hear from thor's kernel is stability to SOME people. Some CPUs don't seem to be able to OC the same as others, not a fault of the dev but a hardware issue. I have personally been running this kernel for 3 days with no issues OC @ 1680 and no undervolting.
Don't really know much on Richard Trip's kernel, but like i said read through his thread and see if anybody is experiencing issues related to his kernel.
Everybody uses their tablet for different things and the kernel/OC they have may act differently when you use it. There is no real good answer for the vague question you asked. Until you ask specific questions, not just thor vs richard trip, you won't get the answer you are looking for.
I am just looking for suggestions on which kernel to use with my stock 4.2.1 Rom? There seems to be two in my mind (Motley and Mako), but I don't know which one to use. If you guys don't mind, can you guys give me a couple feedback on these two kernels or any other kernels. Thank you for your time
Franco. Love it. Tried others and I always go back.
There's not such thing as best kernel
Don't ask
This will only start a flame war over which kernel has the most "bleeding edge" features. Besides you have a crackflasher's dream phone with a growing dev community second to none (except maybe gnex for now).
Apologies
Sorry I should have rephrased the title. I am just asking for suggestions and your experience with different kernels. I have no intention of flaming a war or creating a poll. I am new to the nexus 4 forum and just need a little help. Sorry for inconvenience

Agree, would prefer trinity and CM.
Thread closed. There is no such thing as a best kernel or anything to that point. Everyone has an opinion and this won't help you choose what's best for you so please read the first post's from the kernel threads and decide if they have the features that are best for you then try them yourself. It's an easy process so you could even try them all.
Thanks
