I'm using Franco's Kernel v15 + ZRAM with Mik's CM7 6.5.2. At first it was a dream, 1352 points on quadrant and 58.5fps on neocore @480/729Mhz Smartass. Everything running smooth and really fast.
About 6 hours of intense testing some apps (many, in fact) started crashing for no reason. Mostly google apps like Calendar and even Market. But also some widgets and running services.
I reflashed everything, even re-formatted (and re-partitioned) my sdcard and everything was fine again but after a reboot to install google applications (gapps-gb-20110325-signed.zip) the crashes started again. And I was running w/o overclocking at this time.
Searching for some info on the issue I saw a post stating that v15 kernel is for FROYO only so it's not compatible with CM7 but Franco always said that his Kernel was compatible with CM7 and there's no such info coming from Franco himself so I want to be sure of it before flashing a Froyo ROM.
Any thoughts on this issue? Any help is appreciated.
Edit:
Maybe it's worth noting that my phone is a O1 p500h, apart from the 3.2mp camera I don't really know if there's other differences in hardware that may cause problems.
That h is ur problem I think
I really hope not. I've been using Franco Kernel + CM7 for many versions and never had any problems with it (well, aside CM7's known bugs).
I'm from Brazil and CM7 is the only ROM I know that has Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) language support. All other ROMs I tried are strictly european and only have support for Portugal's Portuguese (pt-PT), which is kinda different and "sounds" quite annoying at some times.
And while I feel quite confortable using english, it's not the same thing as your mother tongue.
Its weird some users reported this kind of stuff.
I think its safer to use dookmatt kernel than franco kernel
Could a theme cause this kind of instability? I just remembered that on both times the crashes started I was experimenting with a XperiaArc theme for CM7.
Are you using app2sd or data2sd? These may cause such conflicts at time.

Nope, but I have an Ext4 partition on my SD-Card so I get more "internal" memory for installing apps.
You need to use some external app/hack for what you have described, so, essentially the answer is yes, not no

The answer remains "no", I'm not using app2sd nor data2sd.
You missed the point. Whatever are you using for this can cause the instability. Apparently top secret stuff, so... go help yourself I guess.

I am facing certain problems like you after flashing devoid.franco+kernel V15+ ZRAM.
I had following issues for the past 15 days.
1. changed the stock ROM to devoid Franco + V14
I agree the performance of the phone increased. Did OC using Set CPU. Score over the Quadrant was never over 650, not an issue with this as long as i can feel the diff in the performance.
One major change i saw was - as you all know the SMSes get threaded with a particular contact (both recd and sent msgs.). In my case if i receive sms from TD-I-mint, the message was shown as received from TD-Reylon, similar with all the SMSes, the actual sender was never possible to know when you see the list of msgs. Only after you open the msgs then you could find out the sender.
this is continuing still with Kernel 15.
2. same situation after flashing V14.1, V14.2, V14.2.2.
3. with Kernel V 15 + devoid.francoROM with little change. I wiped everything, SD was partitioned and upgraded to EXT 4. Flashed new ROM (05-06-2011), rebooted, flashed Kernel V15, rebooted, flashed ZRAM, rebooted, but phone never came to life, had to remove the battery and reboot, same result. Then wiped cache and dev cache, then flashed ZRAM, the phone was breathing.
Then tried to flash the system apps downloaded from first post of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049518&page=1, the phone lost its life and had to re-do the whole process of flashing ROM....
With update of ROM + Kernel V15, i had to re-do the whole process for 5-6 times. I never had this problem with older kernels or flashing custom ROM.
One major issue is - msgs and other apps like TB (list of backups) some times display vertically. Today for the first time the SMS app was force closed.
Any-body facing issues like this or issues and you have the solution , I request you to post here.
I guess the best solution for me is to use the stock ROM with franco.kernel. This way I maintain my country's language (and, most important, GPS configuration) and still get some nice tweaks from Franco's.
By reading the comments on v15 kernel, it seems wise to wait for a new version before installing it. There are several users experiencing heavy battery drain. Or maybe install v14.2, but I don't have it anymore.
So, is it safe to use franco.kernel v14-v15 with LG stock ROM (mine came with v10A, android 2.2.1)? Or does it have any compatibility issues?
Thanks for your replies.
touch fix
hi, Does this kernel has the touch fix like Mik_os' kernel?

Yes it does. Am running stock 2.2.2 with Franco's kernel v15 and its smooth as butter.
Running 2.2.1 stock ROM + franco.kernel v15 for about 10 hours now, so far no significant change on battery use.
But I miss mik's ROM performance... FPS on neocore dropped from 57fps to 36.5fps. And my old score on quadrant was 1350 and now is 615.
Is there any improvements I can install on my stock ROM? JIT? HW accel? I really could use some more performance.

All roms have a bug, but I like GingerDX
I'm currently using GingerDX (v006 w/ hotfixes). It works great for the most part, it's much more stable than the froyo rom I was previously using, and seems to be much faster as well.
Hard to say "best" about any rom... the question really would be.. what rom is best *for you*
I'm currently using GingerDX too, v007.
"For me", it's the Best ROM.
Sonybread is the main Paul's ROM.
Sorry my very bad english.
I'm using GingerDX 007 too and for me, among the 3 most relevantat gingerbread based roms, is the most stable and the one which better responds; but, any patch or hotfix to solve the notification bar problem? Once it has been extended the only way to put it back is by pressing the back button; and a last question: does the keyboard light work properly for you? is instaled D4 app? I can't see it.
And finally, if you can help me... anyone has experienced that when installed any gingerbread rom, even wiping cache and Dalvik still the previously installed apps?
I thing I'm the only one...
Thanks!!
another vote for gingerdx. the fastest rom i've used so far (i've tried almost all of them). battery life is great as well.

not true. you just have to find the right spot. when extended, try dragging the bar back up by placing your finger just slightly above the three notches in the bar. it's not perfect, but it works.

try this...when in cwm, go to mounts and storage and format cache, data, and system. also, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition. see if that works. works for me
My SD Card has a EXT partition for Link2SD from 2.1 Stock rom; maybe...?!
GingerDX rules
One more vote to gingerDx, the best one.
+1 for GingerDX
Have only tried gintonic.se by slade so far. It is the first time I am running a custom rom, I can not believe my eyes, all is looking so nice and works so well. Thanks XDA! (and slade in particular Has anyone who is voting for gingerdx tried gintonic.se as well? Now that I know how easy it is to flash a rom I might try another one (gingerdx/Paul's CM7) just to compare them.
If I make a backup of my system in CWM will everything be exactly the same when I do a restore? I mean all the settings as well (not only apk's+data).
The best one for the Mini's, must be MiniCM7 by nAa.

When you flash kernel it is neccessary to wipe cache and dalvik cache and battery stats.

I did not get to test the CPU usage really, what I saw was, every game I played had much lag on the screen when touched EX. PES 2012 and FIFA 2012, and also analyzed by SETCPU whenever touched the screen the CPU jump from 480Mhz to 729mhz.
And just for the record, I still can not flashing any kernel, even though WIPE as possible in all caches.
Hi, some time ago I installed in my Mini Pro paul-xxx´s custom rom, but months later it was laggy and buggy, so I decided to install MiniCM7 custom rom, the 2.2.1 one.
I have read this Custom ROM is faster and better than paul-xxx´s one, but when I installed it...it was more laggy and buggy than before.
It was a clean installation...bl unlocking & kernel flashing included. I don´t know why is so buggy...any recommended configuration?
Any tips?
BTW, in paul-xxx´s one the HW buttons works in FPSE, but not in this one...0o

Did you Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvick cache and Wipe Battery stats before flash the new Rom?
Yea, i did all the needed wipes, but I found the problem: The device was slow by low battery, less than 30 percent. When I charge it, it became really fast xD

I guess you can change it choosing other configuration in Performance settings, but the battery will drain faster...
Make a test... try change SMARTASSV2 to PERFORMANCE... or never lets your battery under 30% hehehehehehe

I have Galaxy 5.0 player (US version) running Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 ROM on it from last 6 months, While everything worked great during that time, i want to try one of the newer ROMs now, may be ICS if all the bugs have been fixed. Can anybody help me where to start now, I used Odin before, I have no idea about Heimdall..Can i still use Odin? also can anyone recommend me what ROM i should go for ? and what should be the correct steps to flash it again? do i need to backup the current ROM?
thanks in advance.

I'm in the same position as you. I know how to use CWM (I think), at least it worked for me before.
I would like to try out JackpotClavin's apparently awesome :good: new Kernel.
Should I wait for the PAC-Man version of iurnait or just flash jackpot's rom?
Lots of bugs are still being reported, so I'm wondering if it's already running stable enough for daily use.
And do I need to make a clean install if I install Jackpot's ROM now and later on want to switch to PAC-Man?
Thanks in advance!
I've been keeping with the Jellybean releases as they come, and would say it's definitely good enough for daily use. The only thing that doesn't work yet on 4.2.2 is taking pictures with the rear camera.
The speed and fluidity of the UI is definitely worth checking out and a lot of apps use the new framework. Overall, it just feels like a much more polished and intuitive experience.
If you are going from gingerbread to jellybean you have to wipe or you'll get some serious issues. coming from ice cream sandwich or 4.1 jellybean, you should be fine with just wiping /cache, /system, and the dalvik cache. coming from any other 4.2 rom, you're perfectly fine.

Okay, thanks. That sounds good.
Tomorrow I will probably try and flash Jackpot's Rom then.
As I am coming from Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 ROM I will have to do a full wipe first and then I am good to go flashing from CWM? Or do I have to install another Kernel first, and/or format everything?
Thanks for your help!
my problem is i do not have CWM installed. If i remember correctly i used SuperoneClick to root and Odin to put Gingerbread ROM with Entrophy512's Kernel.
Do i need to install CWM before i try another rom?
Looks like we still do not have any ICS/JB ROM with all bugs fixed????

It states here, that Entropy's kernel does in fact come with CWM. And if you're on the same version of Erygit's Rom as I am (3.5), then you should have an application called RebootMenu, where you can choose to reboot directly into recovery.
Weird
Okay now, I managed to flash it, wasn't as easy as I thought, though Lots of assert failed errors, google apps not installing, etc. but now everything is working fine!
i do have rebootmenu and i can reboot into CWM.i want to try Chips ROM.i think its very stable like my current one Eryigit
do i do this after copying rom on SD card???
Backup Existing ROM
Wipe Data and Cache
install from zip
reboot

we have both lowered in our kernels lcd screen voltage which greatly improves batterylife You can also lower cpu voltages but if your device turns off while overcloking that means your chip has poor quality

Well I'm looking for a kernel that has the 100 MHz and 200 MHz range included since all I pretty much do is listen to music. When I had stock rom, kernel, everything I had amazing battery life on both music playback and standby time. I just installed the the sultan kernel r4 and the lowest CPU speed is 400mhz. Wish the lowest speed was 100 MHz speed. is ever going to be at 100 MHz or at least 200mhz ?
Voltage difference is slight between 200mhz and 400mhz and 100mhz has equal to 200mhz 100 is totally useless unless you don't undervolt

100MHz and 200MHz were causing SODs so as a dirty fix KOala and I removed them from our kernels. However, the SODs might be fixed now so I'm going to test 100MHz and 200MHz again today
Also, 100MHz and 200MHz are pretty useless because they're too weak to do anything. When the screen is off the player sets the CPU to 800MHz so having 200MHz and 100MHz won't get you better battery life if you're listening to music while the screen is off.
