[Q] Custom Kernels - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So there is still 2 custom kernels, J's overclocked and z's with FPS cap removed, But is there way to get both benefits ? cuz i dont see reason to have removed cap , when mobile's GPU can't have more in most of games...

Any new overclockable kernal

OK just wanted to ask if there is any new overclockable kernal in the works with higher overclock processor speeds , in the range of 1.4 or 1.5 or beyond this . I also have an htc hd2 with android flashed to it and custom kernal with processor speed upto 1.576 . So that's what has had my brain wondering if we could get a kernal like that with this awesome device . Thanks in advanced to all the developers and anyone else who does or could make this possible

I don't think the DS is stable beyond 1.267Ghz...
In anycase, I'm also looking for a simple kernel with OC features, as the current performance mod kernel available sucks way too much battery juice - even with the DS underclocked.....

LG Optimus One game performance

I just bought an Optimus One and I'm not satisfied with the game performance.
Fifa 2010 runs fine, but with any tap on the screen it slows down and drops framerate drastically.
Is this some problem with my phone or does everyone experience this? Also, any luck running NFS Shift and such games?
EDIT: Just read about some 'touchscreen lag fix kernal'. Any more info on that?
NFS shift runing perfect for me.
Actually any game I've tried till now (even HD ones, the ones I manage to run...) is working perfectly with no lag nor slow fps.
But you have to mod the O1 a bit (custom recovery, modded kernel, hw acc + jit enabled, CPU overclock).
Does anyone know if the stagefright player has anything to do with game performance too?

Would all that require rooting the phone?

Yes you just need z4root to root your phone.
It's always reversible, so no way you could worry about it
to get the best out of your phone, you can use custom kernels and roms +OC
the touchscreenlagfix kernel solves your problem about the cpu usage/framerate drop. Before, 3D/HD games that requires touch/d-pad was almost unplayable because of the sudden drop of framerate+lag.
it was a big BUG back then but now we are lucky that someone was able to fix it and now games like Hawkx, Nova, gtracing(games that requires touch) works Good on my phone.
NFS shift actually works fine even on stock rom w/o any MOd.
there are lots of guides in here discussing about the touchscreen lagfix kernel so you should try it if you want a better gamign experience on Lg optimus one.
I'm still wondering though...

Horrible official dev ( Sony erricson ) support . Officially the device bearly received in mid novembre Android 2.1 .... GPU drivers and optimization are pretty mediocre compared to O1 . It also has a smaller screen . It has only 3" opposed 3.2" that the O1 has .
Also O1 already has an ETA for official gingerbread ( end of may supposedly if something else doesn't occur. But either way it will get ginger 100% sure )
And I want to tell you one more thing . With andy's build 2.3.2 gingerbread ( a mix of aurora and CM7 ) he brought a ton of performance to the device .
Last night I tried Dungeon Defenders , which is a beast of a game ( really resource hungry ) and it finally works out great even without OC . As soon as andy releases the augmented kernel with OC I think , O1 performance will be almost on par with SGS.
LE: Also now I saw but the X8 has a pitiful ammount of RAM . O1 has 512 ( 418 RAM available to use ) and X8 bearly has 168 RAM . And believe me it counts . On internet browsers you're going to have a horrible experience.
i use my friends Sony Ericsson XPeria x8 and my LG O1 play angry birds same stage
my friends using 2.1 official rom and me using 2.2.1 stock rom
*both also using stock microsd
how come my friends oni lag awhile in angry birds ?
friends,
do we hav to overclock to fix the lag..?
or only the mod kernel will do..?
does overclocking heats the phone or any other damage to cpu..?

hello, it is not necessary to overclocking your optimus one but in a purpose of better gaming experience in your optimus one, then i think you should.
there is two things you need to install/flash to your O1 basically to improve your phone performance. custom ROM and a Kernel. i recommend flashing Megatron rom, and mostly people using Void rom. and i recommend Mik_os Kernel. mik_os kernel will solve all your "lag when hold screen" problem in your O1.
No, overclocking will not heats your phone, yes maybe it does, but just a little bit and will not harm your phone. and no it will not damage our phone CPU.
i currently using megatron rom with mik_os kernel, and its all working very well. gaming experience in my O1 are fantastic. with megatron rom, your phone CPU will automatically set to 728mhz (not sure, check this in the megatron thread).
heres the link for megatron rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870640
mik_os kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929941
before you will be able to flash this, you need to succesfully install this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844483
its a custom recovery where you later can flash the megatron rom and mik os kernel. before you do flashing, i recommend to backup your sd card and things. goodluck

If you overclock and use the mod kernel, you will get the best out of the gaming experience. Don't worry about OC issue, as 700-720mhz most of the members are using this and no issues have been reported as of now. Also, the OC depends on the hardware modification and each phone has its own maximum OC limit.
If you feel OC is overheating your phone, revert it. Isn't that simple ?
Well, it's a budget phone (and a damn good one at that), so of course it's not going to run everything perfectly. If you're going to use custom rom's and overclock, please read about the subject well beforehand, ok? It can go terribly wrong, and it does sometimes cause problems.
And the claim about no problems is very false. Both overclocking, and installing a custom rom can cause random reboots, application force closes and hangs among with other problems. So please read into it, and be prepared to revert in case something goes wrong. Overclocking will also most certainly reduce the life cycle of your phone.

True, but who's gonna keep this phone for mare than 2-3 years? Also, most of the time the CPU is idle @245 MHz...
I overclocked mine to 768MHZ its stable. I have a p500h (same thing as the p500 I think)

gingerbread fps uncapped v froyo

The fps uncapped roms on gingerbread don't seem to be quite as smooth as the uncapped froyo roms when the first custom kernels came along - does anybody know why?
also, is the fps performance improved with unlocked bootloader roms?
Thanks
I have the same impression.. and remember that when the first gingerbread ROMs and FPS uncap came, I almost turned back to froyo!

Can you overclock on a rooted stock kernel?

Hi tried searching but no luck. Just want to know if I can overclock / undervolt on a stock kernel rather than a custom kernel like Doom's kernel. Reason is I had bad experiences with changing Kernels with my samsung galaxy s, like signal problems, battery problems etc, its especially signal problems, it made my 3g even slower than hell.
No, it's not possible.

you cannot becose the kernel is the one who stops the cpu to pass a certain frequency, but on the xps i don't think you need to overclock, i tested the cpu with a running video at 1080p and playng gta 3 or Riptide Gp at same time and i didn't succeed to froze the the device, and both game and video run smooth with no shutters at all!

[Q] Advantages of using different ROM and kernel + 2 more questions

I'm new to rooting and changing phone's ROM and kernel (rooted my X10 just 2 months ago), so I wanted to ask about main advantages of using different ROM and kernel... right now, I'm using stock 2.3.3 ROM with FPS Uncap and a few more tweaks. I also tried another ROM (from ThJap) with his kernel provided along with his ROM, but I didn't see much difference in phone's performance between stock and modded (it's ironical, that I feel, stock was faster (even when modded ROM have OCed CPU), when I had around 25 apps installed. Modded ROM had imho more stuttering when flipping screens and app drawer).
So the question is:
1. What can be achieved by modding just ROM itself and what by modding kernel?
2. Also there were some things I liked about that ROM, but those I didn't like too, so who can I ask about modding some parts of stock ROM for me?
3. Maybe off-topic, but why after flashing FPS Uncap, FPS was better just in launcher and games, but in menus (e.g. settings screen), gallery, SMS, etc. the phone was so laggy and unresponsive? It's like this even after reinstalling phone completely, when no apps are installed. I was expecting better FPS and responsiveness in all of this (especially gallery, which is unusable right now). Can I do anything about it? Even my friend's Xperia Active, which has the same CPU, is much faster and smoother. I know, it has smaller screen resolution, but the situation is the same with all phones using Snapdragon CPU I've seen so far. Only my X10 is laggy and slow (with stock or modded ROM; it doesn't matter) compared to them.

There are lot of stock based roms better than stock whch already have FPS uncap and all tweaks done.
As you said for me also stock based custom roms became slower and slower as days passed and apps installed.
But I stumbled upon old rom but really solid one.
cm7zmod by zdzihu runs on doomkernel.
Its really fast and hasnt really lagged/sowed down in one and half months of my usage.
No big bugs except tethering not working.
give it a try, you wont regret it.

also modding rom by yourself will be hard at first if you dont have much knowledge about it.
Kernel modding requires more knowledge( I can give u link to guides for doing that if you want). Its not my expertise.
