i'm running virtuous unity ROM on my htc inspire 4g. i'm trying to underclock my phone to save battery. i read info on this from this webpage on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14529333&postcount=5
in the 'wake governor' file, its originally set to 'ondemand'. i'd like to edit it to save battery, but not to kill too much smooth performance. below are the options given. can you please rank the the following in terms of performance and battery life? and which is the best for my needs?
- SavagedZen
- Scary
- smartass
- interactive
- conservative
- userspace
- ondemand
- performance
.
There's now smartass v2, has all the benefits of smartass(no set cpu required, v. quick swiych of freq. after screen on/boot) but also v. stable. It's built in to my custom kernel (xperi arc) but google it

hi, sinkster.. thanks for the reply. but i really dont know what these terms mean. can you tell me what ranking they have on a scale from 1 to 10 in terms of battery life and also in terms of perfomance?
this is importsnt for me to decide what to set my phone at. especially when i want to save battery but at the same time, not sacrifice performance. thanks.

The rom your running has its own custom kernel, which still only has the original smartass governor, which the thread you posted a link to talks about the flaws of it and came up with their own solution to bypass those flaws. There is a newer version of the smartass governor that fixes those flaws, so you dont have to manually edit the files that the thread is talking about doing, like your trying to do. In order to get the new version of the smartass governor, the developer of the kernel that your rom's dev. is using has to update it (i would recommend searching the forum for the original thread of the kernel). Or you could find another kernel that will work with your current rom but is also updated that includes the new smartass governor. As for the differences of the profiles, Smartass seems to be the most complex but best option for saving alot of battery while not affecting performance of the phone. It saves battery while the screen is off, and when the phone doesnt need to use its cpu fully. It basically learns and throttles between the cpu frequencies you have set based on phone usage while always using the bare minimum frequency while the screen is off and when no applications are being used and a higher/highest frequency you have set for when your using applications so they still run smooth. I would recommend getting Setcpu, it will detect what frequencies your phone is capable of and will allow you to set the smartass governor and the min/max frequencies for it to throttle between. I would also search your Rom's thread and the Kernel's thread(if there is one) to see what the min/max frequency people are having pleasant experiences with.

hi, Synergies14.. i truly do appreciate your in depth info. i got 3 questions:
1) you suggested i use 'smartass' as the best option to save battery life. but dont you think that this option sounds like a battery draining option?
2) you suggest i use smartass as the best option for increasing battery life. i set 'smartass' as the option for wake governor. should i also apply it to sleep governor? the sleep governor is currently set to conservative. let me know.
3) can you explain rank each of the 8 terms in terms of battery life and perfomance?
thank you. i appreciate it.

Trapzz, my apologies for not responding to your post back on the 17th. As to question 1, the answer is no. The smartass governor throttles your cpu frequency based on the min/max frequencies you have set in Setcpu for when the screen is off, even if the screen is on and your not using any performance hog apps. The smartass governor is alot better at throttling between the frequencies than any of the other governors. For example, while your screen is off, it will have the cpu using the minimum frequency, even if the screen is on and your looking at text messages, it will only raise the frequency untill the text messages load and then it will scale back down after its done loading. Other governors keep the frequency raised the whole time your in your text messages, even after its loaded, untill you exit it and turn the screen off.
As for question 2, you shouldnt have any profiles set while using the smartass governor, as how the smartass governor works, you dont need any profiles set. Smartass takes care of it all on its own.
As for question 3, im not exactly sure how to rank each governor based on performance/battery life besides other than conservative is used for battery life, and performance is for performance and not saving battery. But with how smartass works, its auto scales the frequencies automatically. Its the best for saving battery, but its also best for performance as it scales to the highest frequency you have set and keeps it there for as long as your app needs it.
Hope i helped answer what you were asking! If you need anything else or any other questions feel free to reply or shoot me a personal message.

hi, Synergies14.. thanks for getting back to me.. no need to apologize, but thanks anyway.
you said that i shouldnt set any profile while using the smartass governor. i'm a bit confused. what exactly do you mean? do you mean that i shouldnt enter any values for the 3 wake and sleep states?
and do you also mean that i shouldnt set 'smartass' for sleep governor?

Alright, i apologize, i got a bit confused myself there. Judging from your Rom and what the Devs of it say, DO NOT install setcpu like i have mentioned. You will need to install a terminal app. You can go to the market and search for the app "Android Terminal Emulator" and install it. Then in the terminal app, type in "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors" (without the quotation marks) and that will give you a list of available governors to use. Tell me the list of governors it gives you. Then type in "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies". That will tell you the available Min/Max frequencies that your phone will allow. Tell me the list of frequencies that it gives you. Then i shall help you from there after providing that info to me.
A better option would be to undervolt by 25mv a time if ur kernel supports it

Actually can you update your Rom first? if you haven't updated it, there is an update for it that came out a few days ago, before we do anything i want to make sure you have the latest piece of the software.(updating might actually help with the call vibration issue your having too). If you update it, tell me if you have a custom kernel installed or if you leave it with the stock kernel that the rom uses. The type of kernel you use will affect your available frequencies and also if everything is outdated. After you update your Rom, look to see if there is a program on there called "Daemon Controller". If not, then follow this link http://bit.ly/oDeBtV and install the .apk on your phone. This is the new graphical UI for changing and managing your virtuous_oc so you dont have to manually edit the files yourself.

I recommend doing a full nand backup before upgrading so that way if you do run into any issues that you dont like, you can just restore from that nand backup. What Recovery are you using?

Alright, when you boot into recovery, as always, make a nand backup (as you've said you have already). When you wipe, please note that everything will be erased from your phone including all apps and settings, EVERYTHING. Also as a precaution, ALWAYS go into your contacts in your phone and select to export them to your SDcard. Then connect your phone to your computer and copy EVERYTHING thats on your sdcard to your computer (easily make a folder on your desktop, then select everything on your sdcard, copy it and paste it into the folder). This is so that all your contacts and all your pics/videos and your nand backup are backed up on your computer just incase the wiping process does completely wipe your sdcard (i highly doubt your sdcard will be erased, but its always good practice to take extreme caution as accidents do happen). Then copy the new Rom's zip file onto your sdcard.
*Once you have done all this, boot back into your recovery.
*From the main menu, select "wipe data/factory reset".
*Once that is done, select "wipe cache partition".
*Once that is done, select "mounts and storage".
*In that menu, select "format system".
*Once that is done, select "format data".
*Once that is done, select "format cache".
*Then, judging that you have ext4, i assume your sdcard is partitioned and has the ext on it, if you do, then select "format sd-ext".
*Then go back to the main menu.
*Select "advanced".
*Select "wipe dalvik cache".
*Return to the main menu. Now to install the rom!
*Select "install zip from sdcard".
*Select "choose zip from sdcard".
*A list will appear of the files on your sdcard, select the rom's zip from the list.
*It will ask to confirm installing the zip, go ahead and confirm.
*Once it is done installing, you should be back at the main menu, if not, navigate back to the main menu.
*Select "reboot system now" and you should now reboot into the new ROM. If you have any issues during this process with any of the steps let me know!
also, to get your contacts back into your phone, judging that your sdcard wasnt erased, go into your contacts and select to import from sdcard and you should be good to go!.

Gingerbread support is experimental. Whatever the bug is, don't say it - I already know. I will fix them all when I can.
Current device support:
anzu (Arc) (LT15): Alpha in progress
ayame (Arc S) (LT18): Alpha in progress
haida (Neo V) (MT11): Alpha in progress
hallon (Neo) (MT15): Alpha in progress
iyokan (Pro) (MK16): Alpha in progress
phoneix (Neo L) (MT25): Supported
zeus/zeusc (Play) (R800): Supported
Others - No plans, probably never (only HDPI Xperia 2011 devices will be supported by MIUI Australia)
Full feature list:
Early roots in KRsH 2.6.32.9/4.1.C.0.7 kernel. Has changed drastically since first release; additional changes from CosmicDan, FXP and Irii. Stock-based kernel with manual changes/updates for AOSP and JB support - reported my many to have better batterey life and reliability than FXP-based kernels. Also built with Linaro toolchain and uses some Linaro-optimized memory functions.
Supports GB, ICS and JB ROM's. Configurable via the "Slot Mode" in the specific slot for the Boot Menu (see next point). AOSP-GB ROM's (e.g. CM7) are not supported.
Turbo Boot Menu. Entered by pressing vol-down (acts as a pre-recovery menu). Supports four slots for installing ROM's into - Slots 2-4 are stored on ext2 "image" files inside the /sdcard/turbo/ folder. Powered by the brilliant Aroma Installer GUI by Amarullz - any slot can be changed to your default boot, and each slot's icon and text can be customized
Tweaks and Mods selection for each slot:
- TSDX - my own set-and-forget sd-ext script. Ability to share apps between each slot. Can also be uninstalled if desired (for one slot or for all - fully wizard-driven install/uninstall interface).
- Restore random entropy device - By default, Turbo kernel replaces the /dev/random entropy device with urandom. No need for a seeder - in fact an entropy seeder will do absolutely nothing in this kernel, just sit there feeding entropy to the same device. This option can be toggled to set the default device back to random.
- Deasec v2 - When enabled, this slot will decrypt "asec" apps on startup. Helps a lot with App2SD/Link2SD users. Original concept by Giovanni Aneloni, rewritten by myself (CosmicDan).
- Change USB to ### - This option can toggle this slot to force UMS (Mass Storage) or MTP (Media Transfer) mode for USB connections. Please note that some ROM's, e.g. latest CM10 and KXP-JB, have completely disabled UMS in the ROM. Nothing I can do about that.
- Disable ALS - Enable or Disable the ambient light sensor for this ROM. If a ROM has a "disable ALS tweak" built it, this option will not do anything.
- Logging Mode - Change the Logging mode from the default to either Disabled or Extended. Disabled can increase performance (but logcat will be unavailable), extended can help with developers. See the option itself in tweak menu for more details.
Repair Functions. Inside the Boot Menu > Settings and Tools, the repair function will attempt to fix errors on SDCard and Slot2-4 images, and fix permissions. Default full repair and Advanced selection modes possible.
TeamWin Recovery Project. Can also be switched to/from CWM-Recovery in the Boot Menu > Settings and Tools menu. TWRP is recommended though as it's much more advanced and user-friendly. Contains additional fixes thanks to championswimmer, a theme and UI design by myself, plus the "Factory Reset" option will *not* touch the sd-ext partition.
Increased RAM capacity (select devices). zeus and phonex (Play/Neo L) have 379MB of RAM total. 720p recording is removed since it is buggy in Jellybean (gives a good chunk of more RAM), and also some of my own kernel tuning to squeeze a bit more (smaller kernel footprint = more RAM for Android). Do not ask for a 720p recording version, it will never happen - use a different kernel if you want it.
Expanded /data partition (varies per device). 600MB+ of space on userdata. Please note that your /system ROM must be no larger than 310MB to use this kernel. If you don't know how to check this, contact your ROM author for details and to make their ROM compatible with this kernel - also they can contact me for tips on crushing their ROM size =)
Automatic wifi-module. There is no ZIP install required for Wifi module, the kernel init can detect automatically if the wifi module(s) need to be installed. They are located on the RAMDisk (at {root}/modules) and the kernel simply makes a symlink to the .ko files on boot if it needs to (linking is better than copying them).
Snappy zRAM compression. I personally don't use zRAM at all because it slows things down (still ain't snappy enough, heh), but "Snappy" zRAM compression by Google is apparently a lot faster than the traditional LZO compression and only a tiny bit worse compression ratio.
CPU governors - Intellidemand (default, has my own enhancements for our single-core Snapdragon CPU's - including CPU ramping on touch events ported from "Project Butter"), Lagfree, SmartAssV2, Performance and OnDemand. No, I will not add more governors. More governors = more RAM used by kernel = less RAM for Android.
I/O schedulers - SIO (default), deadline and noop. No, I will not add more schedulers. More schedulers = more RAM used by kernel = less RAM for Android.
CIFS, TUN/TAP and FUSE support built-in. No modules required.
...did I miss anything? Don't think so.
Compatibility:
The kernel has been tested and working on the following ROM's -
Turbo UI (CosmicDan's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
Project Jellyzeus AOSP (CosmicDan's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
SlimBean for Xperia Play GSM/CDMA (cj360's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
P.A.C Man-PA (wedgess' source build) (Multiboot-aware)
Paranoid Android JB (wedgess' source build) (Multiboot-aware)
CM10 (Not multiboot-aware)
CM9 (Not multiboot-aware)
NXT2JB (GB ROM by sewer56lol) (Multiboot-aware)
AuroraPlay (GB ROM by Spizzy01) (Multiboot-aware)
Please report if it works or not for other Jellybean/ICS-AOSP ROM's.
FAQ/Bugs:
Q) When I select "Reboot > Recovery" in my ROM, it boots recovery but there are strange errors!
A) Yes, this will boot recovery but it won't know which slot to use. I can't fix this sorry, so simply don't use it (just use Vol-Down on normal reboot).
Q) My device keeps going into the Boot Menu, even though I never pressed the key to enter!
A) This is a bootloader thing and is rare, to fix it just enter Recovery (for any slot) and select reboot from there.
Q) Camera does not work in my Stock GB or Stock ICS based ROM!
A) Known issue. I *may* be able to fix camera in Stock ICS ROM's later, but Gingerbread will probably never happen.
Q) I get an FC when trying to record video!
A) Make sure you select 480p for the quality in camcorder settings. Recording only works on ICS-AOSP and JB ROM's with no 720p.
Q) My ROM in slot 2/3/4 is bootlooping, or I'm getting FC's all the time!
A) Your microSD has become corrupted, probably due to a battery pull or an unclean shutdown - and so the Slot images have also been corrupted. Chose the Tools > Repair function in Boot Menu to try and solve it. If not, I'm afraid you'll have to *delete* that slot (a format will not do) and re-create the images. (Note to ROM dev's - best to use Slot 1 for testing/working, since this is the safe slot for battery pulls/adb reboot command).
Q) I have a problem with my ROM - I flashed Turbo Kernel and restored my backup with Nandroid.
A) This is not possible. If you have a Nandroid/TWRP backup from another ROM, it cannot be restored with this kernel. This is because of the custom partitions. The same goes for restoring Turbo Nandroid backups in another kernel (but restoring TWRP backups in another kernel will work fine - as long as userdata is not too big for the new kernel).
Important info on data safety
*Never* unmount/remove SDCard or pull the battery while system is using Slot 2/3/4. But mounting USB Storage or MTP to PC is 100% fine. @Dev's - never use "adb reboot" command, instead use "adb shell reboot" for the safe reboot.
Do NOT install a ROM ZIP in Slot 2/3/4 until it is marked "multiboot-aware" by the creator. ROM's that are not Multiboot-aware will format and install to your internal (Slot 1), no matter *what* you do. There are two ways to work-around this:
1) [Easy, temporary] Basic idea is to move the ROM from Slot 1 (Internal) to the new Slot. When you first enter Slot 2/3/4, the wizard to set up the slot begins. You have the option to either create blank system and useredata images, or to copy (clone) it from Slot 1 (Internal). So basically, just install the ROM (e.g. CM9 or CM10) in Slot 1, then you can setup Slot 2/3/4 and chose "Copy from Internal" for system (and userdata if you like). Make sure the new Slot works OK, then you can erase and reinstall whatever on Slot 1.
2) [Detailed, permanent, ROM makers do this please!] Change the updater-script to use generic mount commands. I encourage all ROM makers to do this, it will still work with other kernels and recoveries fine. For details on the specific script changes needed, refer to this post.
Make sure your SDCard is free of errors. If you encounter *any* issues with *any* ROM, do a full Repair in the "Settings and Tools" menu before reporting any issues.
For a better detailed, newbie-friendly guide on Multiboot, or for more help, refer to this thread guide. Big thanks to RC fma965 for the guide!
Downloads/Installation
Please Nandroid backup before flashing. I am not responsible for any permanent damage or data loss. I try my best not to wreck your stuff though
This kernel uses a custom partition layout. /system size is 310MB and /data size is over 600MB. Flashing this kernel will DESTROY all your userdata and ROM, so backup first! You have been warned!
GSM ONLY - You must have a vendor-unlocked partition layout - this only needs to be done once, if you have flashed my MIUI Australia ROM in the past or an official Neo L FTF, you already have it and can skip this step. If not, flash this full FTF first which is the same as .64 FTF but with the required vendor partition to format the unallocated space (it will completely wipe your phone) - R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf on Google Drive. DevHost mirror here - thanks to fma965
CDMA ONLY - No need to flash any FTF, it seems R800x already has an unlocked vendor partition.
Ensure your ROM is less than 310MB system size. If you are not sure or don't know how to check, contact your ROM builder.
Download and flash the kernel -
Mediafire folder for Turbo Kernel
First-time users - Enter Multiboot Menu (Vol-Down key) and go to Internal > Recovery, then format system, data and cache before doing anything else. Very important.
Do not install Google Apps straight after ROM install. You *must* boot the ROM at least once before installing Gapps package!
If you cannot enter the Boot Menu or Recovery after flashing, you need to flash the FTF first.
Sources and Changelog
All sources all on my GitHub (see my sig) in the KRsH kernel (there are a few kernel repo's but the KRsH one with latest update is this one), under "jellybean" branch. TWRP sources are in Team-Win-Recovery-Project repo under "jb-wip" branch (yes, it's TWRP 2.4.1.0+ - I'm just too lazy to branch). CWM sources under android_bootable_recovery.
Changelog: See this post (same changelog for all devices).
it is interesting. I will check later
Will try to flash it when I'm home.

Hey cosmicdan, I cant seem to boot in recovery from your kernel. when spamming the back button a black screen comes up and nothing happens. When spamming the volume button it does boot into Aroma file manager, a little fix is to just flash your other kernel and install cm9/miui or boot up a recovery through fastboot

Crap, you're right! I'll fix it now and re-upload... sorry lol
EDIT: Problem is RAMDisk building in Linux, doing it in Windows like I used to fixes it lol. But I found another issue, only 180 version boots.... mediafire downloads deleted, will update when I test (half hour)

Bricked My Phone
Dont flash i done it on cm9 fx132 and now my phone just vibrates and shows black screen im a pro at installing kernals but idk what happened dont download
I don't have to wipe since I'm already using the 180 LuPuS v3 right?

You're a ****ing idiot. It's IMPOSSIBLE to brick the phone with a fastboot flash. And I tested *both* kernels myself before uploading. Pull that **** out of your signature before I report you to a moderator. NOW.
EDIT: "Pro at installing kernels" xD Use flashtool in flashmode on stock FTF mister "pro"!

Correct Only wipe when switching partition layout. Sometimes you don't have to, but the ramdisk tried to read system and can result in a bootloop.

I think you screwed up. Do you not know how to get your phone into fastboot using the search button? You didn't try to use flash mode or something did you? Fastboot is always available so try flashing it again.
Just installed, seems quite smooth. Using intellidemand and vr i/o scheduler o/c to 1.2ghz

Yep and even if fastboot somehow dies, flashmode is always available. I think flashmode is actually managed by a separate little chip even, that might be wrong information though.
What I'm really pissed off about is that the jerk is advertising in his signature that I killed his phone and won't remove it. That should be bannable.

Yeah I run a 1.2GHz max too, I was on 1.5GHz but it seems to drain battery quicker (due to quick ramping on every touch) with no performance benefit. I might actually run a battery life test on intellidemand vs lagfree tomorrow, running a few different benchmarks in a row each from a full battery - to compare benchmark scores and battery life of each.

ONTOPIC
Kernel runs great on LuPuSUIv0.5, I definitely notice a bit better performance then the stock FXP CM9.0 kernel. Together with V6 supercharger and deleting about 20 system apps I can say this is the smoothest rom/kernel combo I have tried this far

Tips for better performance and battery life of your phone.
Hi guys. I have decided to reopen this thread and share some of my tips to you (thanks to forum moderator). You find here basic easy tips, but also something more difficult. I do this specially for less experienced users, so any suggestion from others I will appreciate.
So let's start!
For performance:
For non-rooted devices
So, here, I can suggest you only keep your device clean. That mean, unnistaling unused applications, clearing cache, close recent apps. I don't believe any ram cleaners/boosters, because in most cases, they slow devices by running like process, instead they're helpful.
For rooted devices
Here we have a really more possibilities but also keeping clean device is a best option. When you're rooted, you can removere bloatware, or some preinstalled apps, which you don't use (recommended app Link2SD). In Google playstore exist a lot useful apps to get more from your device. My favorites are Root Booster and Kernel Audiutor to set up your device. In addition, on xda exist a lot of good threads for G2 mini, which are helpful. To increase multitasking you can use virtual memory - swap (If this method didn't work for you, you should try THIS). But, best options below.
For rooted&unlocked bootloader&TWRP installed devices
IMPORTANT! - before any modification have nandroid backup!
If you get here without any brick, now you can get most of your phone. So, here you can flash mods/tweaks to increase your performance like L SPEED MOD or ABS (for me best mods). It's good to try some customs roms (find here) or also try good kernels,which support zram (in my opinion better than swap). Just, do some research!
For Battery life:
For non-rooted devices
I'm repeat myself, just keep cleaned your device. Here is important to have a fewest background process as possible. So try don't use battery hunger apps. You can find apps which are draining your battery (in settings or use app Wakelock detector) and at least disable them. From battery extended apps i can suggest you Greenify, which is in my opinion the best effective app for battery. But don't forget, battery also depends on your usage and your brightness level.
For rooted devices
Still remember, what i write above. Here is it similar like in performance section for rooted devices. What's more, in stock rom I recommended download app Kernel Audiutor and set your cpu minimum frequency to 300 mhz (don't forget to set on boot), because minimal frequency of stock rom is 787 mhz.
For rooted&unlocked bootloader&TWRP installed devices
Here I can suggest you this thread. Also Xposed with some modules can be helpful. When you have custom kernel, I recommended set governor in Kernel Audiutor on interactive (best) or conservative. Custom roms and kernels will be always good choice for battery life, just give a try!
PS: On XDA exist a lot of good mods for your phone, so just search them!
My results:
I get about 5 hours on screen with medium usage and two days battery life. Also I'm able to do pretty good multitasking ( For example seeing Facebook, chating, listening music without lags) and in Antutu Benchamark I get score about 22 000 .
If you have any ideas, suggestions, tips etc. , post it here!
I think, is everything, what i can give you.
I hope this was useful for you and it helps you.
Good luck, to get the most from your device!
Zdravo, brate, thanks for the advices but i have a question, my G2 mini restarts all the backgrounds apps for example if i write something in this window then switch lets say to chrome for 2 seconds the previous app just starts over. It's the only thing i hate about my g2 mini.

Hi that is wierd Do you do install something on your phone? For example some mod or app. Try find out it. Also, you can go to settings, developer options, scroll down and chceck your limit of background process Or find something, what could be wrong But be careful, what you change
I didn't even root it, i only have basic stuff, and i also didn't limit background processes. Same behaviour on both kitkat and lollipop, even with factory reset.

Hi everyone!
This is my first thread, so i hope that you will like it.
I do some reserach about perfomance and battery life, and i want to suggest you some tricks and advices.
Please read these instuctions carefuly, this is safe metod, but always can something happen. So, be careful. If you dont understand these insturctions, dont do this I'M NEW, SO LINKS DIDN'T WORK FOR ME SO I WILL NAVIGATE YOU. It's easy, don't worry
BETTER PERFORMANCE:
Lg g2 mini come with zram 215 mb, we will increase it to 380 mb using two files (98 swap data,98 swap system). This will help you to do better multitasking and you will have less lags. But dont forget, you are the boss of your phone, so if you don't take care about it, you will get lags. Of course, that you can get more zram using 98 swap cache file, but this didn't work for me.
What do you need:
1.root - I have d620r android 5.0.2 rooted with kingroot
2.busybox- download in google play
3.support init.d - in google write "uni init v1.0 apk" and download it from first link
4.root browser- download in google play
5.script manager - download in google play
6.scripts- write "uloz.to" in google and tap first link. Then search "98 swap file" (dont worry about this website, is verified slovakia download site )
7.diskinfo - download in google play
Instructions:
1. Make sure you are rooted.
2. Extract 98 swap file and put that two files on sd card. Also "uni init v1.0 apk" put on sd card.
3. Instal busybox, then reboot
4. install "uni init v1.0 apk" ,open it and install init.d folder, then reboot
5.install root browser,open it,give it root permissions, and make sure that in system/etc/ is init.d folder. If it exist, you're on good way.
6. use root browser and copy 97 swap data and 98 swap system to system/etc/init.d. Then hold finger on 97 swap data, find permisions and check all squares. Do same with 98 swap system.
7.install script manager,open it,give it root permissions (don't forget to tick browse as root) and go to system/etc/ init.d. open 97 swap data and tap on "su" and "boot" and check "is executable" and then, tap on "run". Do same with 98 swap system.Then reboot.
8 install diskinfo app, open it, and if you have swap 380 mb, congratulation, you succesfully increase performance of your phone But dont UNINSTALL script manager, because after that, scripts wont works.
Also, i recommended app seeder and link2sd (remove bloatware).
BETTER BATTERY LIFE:
Also exist some scripts for that, but i don't testet them yet
What do you need:
1. Greenify - download in google play
2.Kernel auditor - download in google play
3. Wakelock detector - download in google play
Instructions :
1. Instal wakelock detector and find out which apps are drain your battery.
2 Install Greenify and hibernate some "battery hunger apps" or uninstall that apps.
3 Install Kernel auditor and set up cpu frequencies to max 1190 mhz and min 384 mhz. Set these settings on boot.
4. Than go to cpu hotplug and uncheck it. (set frequencies will work)
Also, I recommended close recent apps.
You are done. I hope that this thread helps you.
Sorry for my bad english, iam from Slovakia.
Enjoy!

it's better to use cache partition instead of system or data because Cache has 900 MB where like 15mb are just used

hi yes, you've right, lags phone, but only when swap file is on sd card. This is swap file in internal memory, so speed of read of this swap is fast. Reactions of phone are improved and also multitasking I get better score in antutu benchmark too (19234) You have'right about swap cache but this didn't work for me, so you can try it

let me correct myself: it does not lag, it was just minute after reboot so that's why it could lag.
i got 600mb swap in cache so now i got 300mb for cache.
works like a charm, i recommend this af

Hmmm, i don't know, i don't have that problem, after reboot, iam able to use my mobile phone after aproximmately 30 seconds. Of course, that system must loading applications and other things, so it takes some time, but that is noting horrible, isn't it? Yes, swap in cache is really good, maybe is better, but iam repeat, this didn't work for me. When i run script 98_swap_cache_file_v300, a get some error about swap.img.
I have swap 380 mb and it is far better than 215 mb.

Current Events
Dodo released! This means this ROM is now extinct. Sorry! If links below fail, try this one!
OTA is in Beta. Will be included in CM 13 release once both are stable. OTA will be available before full-sized versions due to the testing process (updates are tested first).
SnapChat will not work without some help. This is entirely SnapChat's fault for trying to control your device. Please read this thread before flashing and how you can make it work. Or just open Xposed installer, install Snapprefs and reboot.
Introduction
Welcome to the fastest and most stable ROM for your OnePlus. This thread is mainly a support thread for Jgcaap's awesome work, allowing him to spend more time working on "M" and less time answering questions. His latest builds will be tested by me, hand selected for stability, and the best of the crop will be repackaged, enhanced, and placed here. If you are new to this ROM, check the screen shots for benchmark results and battery life screenshots. Be amazed, then download the ROM and be even more amazed! Smooth as glass and flows like water! As one person has said, "Disgustingly Fast!"
Please read this entire post! Check back often for updates. Also, current jgcaap users will get additional information and tips that can be useful. Check out all the links! And if you want to try some Bacon wrapped Marshmallow, click the bent arrow in the Announcement's line.
Wildlife
Each ROM will be named by an animal, starting at A for Aardvark. A picture of the animal will be placed here so you can see at a glance which release is current. The original jgcaap ROMs often have multiple releases in a single day, and every country has a different date format, so the animal names will allow us to represent specific "official" releases with memorable names.

Downloads | Other Stuff | Links
Features & Changes
The ROM gets repackaged so that new users don't have to go about tracking down which files they need and which order to flash things. The firmware is included and everything is set and ready to go. For legal reasons, just add your own GApps and go. This ROM currently has the following feature's prepackaged and already included with the ROM ...
SuperSU (pre roooted)
Xposed (special jgcaap version)
Moab Ad Blocker
--- ZooKeeper can configure this!
ColorOS Camera
--- with manual focus option
Viper (Audio Eargasm)
Dolby ATMOS! (Dodo+)
Send Reduced (send small pics)
CatLog (for bug reports)
Show On Lockscreen (wallpaper)
OmniSwitcher (optional)
Init.d Support (Badger+)
Governor: blu-active (Badger+)
Low call volume fix
OTA Support (coming soon!)
Support, Questions, Feature Requests and Bugs
Please report all bugs for CM12.1/Lollipop based Jgcaap ROMs to this thread. Even if you didn't download one of the Wildlife pre-packaged ROM sets! Feel free to ask questions. This thread will have the same warm inviting atmosphere that jgcaap's development thread has always had. Newb-friendly and all are welcome!
Getting Started
There will be two ROM images available. The update packages will be designed with a smaller download size with only the files that have actually been changed. The installer will not remove things you have added nor re-install programs you have removed. If you are already using a WildLife ROM, use the Update packages to upgrade. This does not apply to full versions. The full versions should be clean flashed.
The next post will have Step-by-Step instructions telling you exactly what you need to do and how to go about flashing your phone or upgrading. The post after that will have all the tips and tricks for maximum tweaker power. Finally, we'll have instructions on how to rescue your phone when something goes wrong.

Flashing WildLife
Flashing Instructions - Full ROM
Step 1 - Backup
If you don't have a backup program, you can grab a really fast and free one, Backup+. XDA Forum | My Mirror - Direct Download. Be sure you keep the APK on your Internal Storage so you can install it easily and restore the rest of your apps. Also, I strongly recommend you copy your internal storage (or at least the backup directory) onto a PC, a harddrive, a flash drive, or cloud storage such as Google Drive. Get it off your phone and make it safe.
Step 2 - Boot into Recovery
Even if your reboot menu doesn't have a Recovery option, you can always just hold down the Volume Down button when your phone boots and you're good. I recommend Philz Recovery from this XDA thread or you can download the exact ZIP I use.
Step 3 - Wipe Carefully
This step is what is known as a "clean flash". Do not perform this step if you are flashing an upgrade or addition. If this is the first time you've flashed this ROM, you want the full version and you want to do it cleanly. Failure to clean flash leads to odd problems. For example, Agent stopped reading my calendar, or my Camera plugins would start to disappear.
You do not want to do a Factory wipe or anything like that or you'll lose all your data. Do not format /data. Here's where it gets confusing. Many recovery systems treat /data and Internal Storage as if they were separate partitions, but they are not. Your internal storage is on the same partition as /data. If you are from Windows, image your /system is your C: drive, and /data (where your apps are at) and your internal storage are both on D:. Your recovery has a specific wipe designed to safely wipe /data without wiping out your internal storage by erase directories individually, yet automatically.
Philz makes this simple and direct. Select Wipe and Format Options, then select Clean to Install a New ROM. Confirm the wipe, and you are ready to go.
Step 4 - Flash the ZIP
This is pretty easy. Select the option to flash it, find it on your device, and away it goes. If you downloaded the file to your PC (or wiped your internal storage and now have no files on your phone), you can use the "sideload" option you see in the menu. Just plug in a USB cable and type: adb sideload Aardvark.zip This does require that you have adb drivers set up on your PC, but you needed that to unlock your bootloader, right? More tips like this in a later post!
Step 5 - Flash your Gapps
The most important part of Gapps is making sure its for Lollipop. The more up to date, the better. You should download the smallest GApps that fits your needs, just so you don't have to download so much. You can specifically control which Gapps are installed with a config file. Just drop the gapps-config.txt into the same directory as your gapps ZIP file. This file can even delete crufty Cyanogen apps that you don't need or want (you have better ones from Play store right?) and reduce bloat considerably.
About the Gapps Config | OpenGapps is the recommended Gapps package | Newer Sources for Gapps | My gapps-config.txt ... note: you might not want to use my config unless you want almost all your Cyanogen apps to go away. When the system comes up, you won't have a file manager to install Backup+. I install it with "adb install BackupPlus.apk" or if its on the phone, you can log in with adb shell and then install with pm install $PWD/BackupPlus.apk
TIP: If you have Chrome installed from Gapps, you can open it and type "file:///sdcard" in the URL window and then select your Backup+ or Titanium Backup APK to install it. Be sure you have "Install from unknown sources" turned on. Now you can restore your good File Manager (like FX File Manager mentioned in Post #5) from your Backup and don't need Cyanogen's!
NOTE: If you have trouble with OpenGapps, then you can try my stable mirror or SlimGapps (which is now recommended by jgcaap, but I've not tried it myself yet ... but expect it to be the new recommended after I run it through the paces).
Step 6 - Reboot your Phone
After flashing, the first time your phone comes up, its going to optimize itself and you should expect it to take awhile. Don't panic, and wait a few minutes. I refuse the CyanogenMod account (you already have a Google one, and Cyanogen doesn't offer anything extra and defintely do NOT send bug reports or analytics to Cyanogen!). I also go into Settings, About Phone, tap the Build Number like a mad monkey to turn on Developer options, and from there, I enable the Reboot Menu, Fast Boot, Cut the animations down to below 0.5, and turn on ADB since I'll be installing Backup+ over ADB.
Step 7 - Restore your Backup
Use your file manager (or ADB) to install your backup program and then restore the rest of the apps from your backup. I keep my Wifi off so that Google Play won't freak out and try upgrading stuff while its restoring. Do not use ROM Settings Backups to try to move settings from one ROM to another (thats what Update files are for). You can usually restore your Desktop with Backup+ by restoring the data for Trebuchet if you formerly used another Cyanogen release. The next reboot I go to Play Store and upgrade any apps that need it.
Step 8 - Final Config / Updates
I haven't found a perfect way to back up Trebuchet and my desktop ... but Backup+'s system backup tool (paid feature) can be used to restore the Trebuchet data, which gets everything but the widgets. If you use OmniSwitcher, just turn it on. If you use Xposed, it should already be working and active. If you don't use Xposed, jgcaap's version won't slow down your phone or cause glitches. However, if you really don't want it on your phone, you can flash this to deinstall it and can reinstall it without flashing the whole ROM by flashing this file.
MaxxAudio is gone ... use Viper. Set it to Super Audio Quality and reboot when it says to (Aardvark only, no reboot required for Badger and above). More about Viper here. I strongly recommend reading as there are a lot of optional add-ons (convolvers and such for emulating other tones and systems) but many of these will use significant battery power. I don't even use it for the built-in speaker. You can control it per output device, and have different profiles, such as if you have multiple pairs of headphones or different USB Audio devices.
Please Donate to the developers when you use an app. It is only through your support that you get to use high quality apps. This ROM has ads blocked, so developers of free apps will go poor and hungry since they won't be getting any revenue from your ad clicks!
Flashing Instructions - Updates
An update is a slimmed down version without any apps (unless they've been updated), no firmware, no media files, etc. And it avoids flashing over files you may have changed or deinstalled, like the hosts file or various bundled apps. It doesn't touch your settings, you don't need to wipe anything, and it just upgrades in-place. All you need to do is Steps 2 and 4 and 6!! Updates are clearly labelled. Never wipe your phone when installing an update! No OTA yet.
Tweaking
Tweaking, Trimming and Theming
Kernel
There is a UKM for jgcaap's kernel which is in the download area. You'll need Synapse from Play store to use it. I don't recommend tweaking the kernel, but if you want the option it is there. Just download the ZIP, flash it in recovery, and you can start tweaking some kernel parameters! Personally, I use 3C Android Tuner (see below) because it can tune more than just the kernel, but you might find something UKM does that 3C doesn't. As as Badger, you can use the init.d script option for restoring settings imposed by kernel tweakers.,
Governor
Your governor controlls when your CPU is at full blast, when it throttles down, and how quickly it changes and by how much. This will affect battery and performance (and "lag") considerably. As of Badger, the default CPU governor is "blu_active". You won't need to ever change to "Performance" mode to squeeze out more power, its runs even more fluid than before, and battery life is as good as ever. There are a couple ways to select the governor. The one I use is 3C (below). The only source of lag is memory. If you run out and Android has to swap stuff out, there will be a noticeable delay. If you rarely get lag, but get it rather severely, I bet its when you have 20 apps open and a million installed with their own background services and content providers! Suddenly the OOM (Out Of Memory) killer attacks and your phone stops for a second or two. I'm testing a possible solution, but everyone's phone is different.
CPU Temp
How hot does your CPU get? If you run Cardboard like me, you might be concerned. If you have to switch to an app to find out, then your CPU will have already cooled by the time you see the temp. This CPUTemp App displays an overlay anywhere you want that will show you your exact temperature. It can also save the data and give you in-depth graphs of CPU speed, load, and temperature. Alternately, you can just use this Xposed module to always show the CPU temperature in your status bar. (WARNING: I've not tested this Xposed module myself).
Xposed
Wildlife already has Xposed installed. If you have heard of requirements that your ROM must be deodexed or odex or and that you will have compatibility issues or slowdown, the current news is that the latest Xposed works on odexed ROMs and jgcaap has personally blessed some modifications to increase speed and compatibility with this ROM, and final result is packed into Wildlife. However, until you install some Xposed modules, it lies dormant. Fire up the Xposed Installer and you can start searching for tools to tweak how your phone looks, how it acts, how it sounds, and tweak some more battery life. Once you install a module, activate it, and then reboot.
Please be aware that not all Xposed modules are compatible with Lollipop and not all modules are created equal. I have heard mixed reports on GravityBox in particular. If for some reason your phone gets horribly confused and won't boot because of some Xposed module you have installed, or if you just hate the idea of having Xposed and want it gone. There is a solution! Flash this Xposed Uninstaller and if you flash this and want Xposed to come back, just Flash Jgcaap's modified v75 Xposed framework.
Ones I use are the 3C Toolbox helper, Clarity (makes your contacts in better definition), No Device Check (privacy), RootCloak (hides root), Smart Network (auto switches between 3G and LTE to conserve battery).
3C ToolBox
If you like tweaking, this toolbox has a little bit of everything. You can view logs, including last kernel boot log (the one that ran before you crashed), open a terminal, set a firewall, change CPU and GPU governors, disable services, remove programs from the start-up list, change network congestion control ... the list goes on and on!
Here is the XDA thread (with download links) for this tweaker's toolbox.
Battery Extensions
The first step to checking battery problems is Wakelock Detector and Better Battery Stats. These tools will tell you where your juice is going. If an app is holding a wakelock, ditch the app or alert the developer. Once you see what is chewing the most battery you can launch an assault on it with these tools:
Xposed Modules - Again, I'm going to defer to an expert source, @V7 's Extreme Battery Life Thread for all the goodies on PowerNap, Greenify, Amplify, and all the others that you've heard about.
Underclocking - I simply do NOT recommend this. Why? Well I checked Better Battery Stats! And my CPU had only been at full speed for 6% of the time. The next speed was under 2Ghz. So, is it worth slowing down your phone by 20% in order to achieve an overall savings of about 1.2% battery? The reason for this is that your system has what's called a governor that predicts how much CPU you need at any given moment and adjusts accordingly. This means you only use max CPU when you need it! If you underclock, then you are slowing down your phone when you need it most. You might even waste more battery because you'll be keeping your screen on longer waiting for your phone to finish!
Undervolting - I don't like this idea either. Basically, the voltage is how much strength it takes to open the transistor gates, like little doors. When your CPU gets busy, the voltage can fluctuate by small amounts, and if you undervolt your CPU, you can occasionally get a gate that doesn't open, and your get a CPU doing really crazy things and some app with crash or your whole system will crash. Generally, higher speeds require higher voltage to keep your CPU stable, and less voltage at lower speeds. Imagine trying to open and shut a door really fast ... you'll need more force than just shutting the door gently.
Can I get 9hrs SOT? - Sure! See the screen shot, but here's the secret. WASTE battery power! If you have a flip-case, remove it. Take your screen timer and set it REALLY high and don't turn off your screen. Let it BURN! This will ensure that your screen is on for a really long time. Cheating? Well, yes and no. The point is that someone who is chatting on their phone over Wifi and rarely touches it, but leave the screen on while doing so will get great SOT. The guy streaming Bluetooth audio all day long and has their phone tethered to use LTE internet with a low signal will waste tons of battery and may not have the screen on at all. The 9hr screen on time was done while doing all the above, plus some web browsing using ....
Ultimate Browser - This browser is said to use less battery than Chrome and others. You can check it out and see for yourself on The Ultimate Browser XDA thread.
Themes
Many people ask about the themes pictured in the screenshots. This is the Deep Darkness Overhauled Theme but with the thinner fonts from Cosmos CM12. Just select which parts of each theme you like before clicking the Update button.
I'm now using an Add-On package for this theme that gives icons that aren't so dark. It has a cool font, too, but I don't know if I like the Cosmos or Deep Darkness Add-On better. I'm also using a compromise between the 400 DPI (real) and 480 DPI (stock) of 440 DPI. This still gives me 5 icons wide on the home screens without throwing off apps that expect stock DPI (much).

Recommended Apps
Please note that these are some of the best of the best, and most of them are not free!
Email - [email protected] Mail This is a fork of K-9, which is the Android Mutt (from Dr Who) .. mutt being a classic Unix mail program. I love Dr Who, but [email protected] was such a big improvement, I had to go with it. If you need full folder support, multiple accounts, and support for email cryptographic signing and encryption, multiple identities, and html editing of email and html signatures!
Music Player - PowerAmp - this is by the best music player I've used, bar none. If you don't want it messing with your custom lockscreen wallpaper, you can tell it not to, or add a whole second/custom lockscreen over the original. It has its own EQ, but I don't need it with Viper. To make PowerAmp compatible with Viper, simply turn off the direct volume control. You can use Xposed to add more volume steps if you like the extra control that PowerAmp's default has.
Video Player - VLC Video Lan Client Plays everything, does everything, streams videos, and has remote control apps to connect to other VLCs anywhere on your network.
QuickPic - QuickPic is a replacement for the stock Cyanogen Gallery. It works and acts much the same only its much much faster. Another good choice is Piktures, but new users may find it a bit more complicated, and it doesn't seem to be nearly as fast.
Agent - While much of what Agent does can be duplicated with other tools, the ease of use and flexibility of this tool can't be beat. It monitors your calendar for meetings and silences your phone, knows when you are driving and responds to your texts (and/or reads them to you), detects when your sleeping and makes your phone quiet (even if you sleep at different times). Has a battery saver mode, and can even remember where you parked. The Meeting agent works best if your calendar supports the "Busy" flag, which Google removed about a year ago, so ...
Today Calendar - The Today Calendar is just a really beautiful app and has some nice widgets (although I just use cLock from Cyanogen to show my calendar and make appointments via Voice commands, so I don't see Today much, I still bought it). It has the Busy flag and all sorts of features. If you want one a little less flashy (and free), try Boxer Calendar.
File Manager - The FX File Manager is by far the greatest file manager. It has everything built in, including SMB to network with Windows and SFTP to network with any machines running SSH. App Management, Media Refresh, and nice clean material design! Bloat free!
FXR Wifi Repair - Get this app and install it NOW! You will thank me the day you end up needing it!

Don't know if 10/30 needs deodex or not but if its before jgcaaps hacks you'll need the older Xposed. I have it and Ill upload it for you to my site (Eddon Systems Download Page ... link in first post). Viper is already there (look for LolliViper).
If you don't mind taking the time to do a clean flash, Aardvark is based on the 11/08 build with the Apple code. All works out of the box Dirty flash possible, but can lead to weird problems.
I'll upload Xposed v75 right now
More about me at https://eddon.systems
Ok so it is possible to run odexed version and have Xposed working? I've heard that I need deodexed version for exposed that's why I'm on 20151030.
Thanks a lot for fast response!

Deodex and Xposed
The newer builds are made in such a way that you can use them with Odex builds without problems. We even have a special "Hacked" version of Xposed that prevents the possible slowdown issues and bypassing jgcaap's ART improvements.
So yes, use Odex and new builds and preferably the "Hacked ZIP" for the framework, although normal v75 still works. Or flash Aardvark. I've got maybe a dozen Xposed modules active.
The reason you don't see newer Deodex is because they aren't needed anymore

It varies based on date and jgcaap's whim. The 11/08 builds do. I don't think any deodex builds do because he stopped making those before the Apple assembler code experiments.
Since 11/08 has it, Aardvark has it.
Bionic isn't a ROM build, its the Android low level C library to which the Apple code is being added.

Actually, I put your name in as a contributor (and obviously @jgcaap) which gives you a lot more access. That way, if I'm hit by a bus tomorrow, other people can step in (its the admin in me). You might be able to edit the project page and initial reserved posts yourself.

Well this came around at a perfect time! I haven't been actively flashing my phone much this year and my current ROM is from July 5th lol. So I'm not really new, but could use something pre made like this. Reading, backing up, and downloading this afternoon, then flash later tonight. Thanks for putting this up.
Is the rom ok to flash on system/data/cache on f2fs ?
Hello!
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it
could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
--WiFi calling is fixed. (thanks @lordodin912 . Turned out to be the defconfig after all. Netfilter/netlink )
--Built with the latest -old v6 Uber Toolchain cross-compiler (ubertc 7 is bugged, and latest v6 doesn't boot after compile)
--Kernel optimization flags added in for Uber (thanks @lordodin912 for the info on this)
--Better 3g/4g connectivity. Which should hopefully lead to less polls to satellites, and hopefully reduce battery consumption (May need to upgrade to latest bootloader and radio).
--ConservativeX governor and a few others added in
--ConservativeX is default
--ROM tweaks to init.qcom.post_boot to do the following : ensure min CPU freq is at 307mhz for all cpus, 133mhz for GPU, modified cpu_boost and other tunables for bettery battery usage, other small tweaks.
--GPU gov set to simple_ondemand by default
--Many TCP congestion algorithms enabled, westwood+ is default, and recommended.
--Small tweak to ZEN_DECISION hotplug
More things fixed/tuned
*testing* AutoSMP hotplug added to kernel. (idk wtf it is though--likely not working)
--Force current charge. Ability to override charging rate. Might set to max rate (1500mAh) by default. This means your cable+charge combo will charge as fast as it can.
6.5 will not force wipe, but if you have bugs with wifi calling, texting, or rootswitch freezing, this is an indication you have to do a Factory Reset within recovery.
Wifi calling fixed, sms fixed. No bugs that I can find.
You can turn off WiFi while on a WiFi call also. It will stay connected and switch to 4g. First connection may take up to 10 seconds, but it's just the first time.
Your phone will be very slow for the initial setup. Once you finish setting up your email, and fingerprint and all that, reboot your device.
If you have factory reset, you will need to update Google Assistant, and Google Play Services. Both of those updates can be done from opening Google Assistant. She won't work until these are installed/updated. SafetyNet bypass also requires Google Play Services, so just be sure to have all updates installed from play store.
LG Music is back in. I added back in the LG update center and the weather lockscreen thing, but they doesn't show up. I'll make a separate zip that works later in the future. For now, you can download smartworld and other things from LGs website.
One more thing, once your battery goes down to 10%, your phone will slow down and be as conservative as possible. I don't believe at 10% anyone will be worried about a smooth experience, but rather that their phone can last them enough time (it will!!). The savings is even greater if you enable Battery Saver at 15%.
Here is v6.5--perfected
You don't have to wipe anything.
However, if you get one of the following bugs, you will have to factory reset in recovery:
**Rootswitch disable freezes phone
**SMS dont always send, or won't send with root disabled
**No call connection or sound when calling after disabling wifi
**Literally any other bug
Development for NSS H918 will come to a halt as of 6.5, as I need to make an update for the other carriers. Additionally, IRL will be taking over for a month or two.
========================================================
Sidebar:
Here is the 6.5 kernel. Note : this is not an update for v6.0, this is only a kernel to be used on other ROMs.
v6 info below
(old in from previous update)
v6 NSS ROM has been rebased on the latest build from LG (10j). The kernel for v6 has also been built from source from the 10j sources. If you want the stock source for 10j kernel download it frmo my thread in the dev section. The one release by LG does not work as-is. I had to go through it and fix multiple errors preventing compile.
v6 WILL wipe your phone. All your apps, settings, games, and save states will be erased! This will not wipe your SD card, nor internal storage.
v6 is heavily debloated. ROM size is a mere 1.06 GB.
There is no kernel-only zip for v6, nor will there be.
I am also not releasing a way to flash v6 without wiping. The wipe is intended to clear any corrupted caches and/or other issues.
In v6, everything you need to pass SafetyNet is already included. Just disable root with Rootswitch, and you can play Pokemon Go, use Android Pay, and any other app that uses Google SafetyNet.
This ROM and kernel have been heavily modified for speed, stability, and battery.
I have changed the default CPU governor to Bioshock.
Here are some changes for v6
v6 will wipe your data!
Based off LGs latest build (V10j). Comes with matching kernel from 10j as well.
Kernel optimizations to the cpu. CPU ramps down quicker, is more conservative (probably best if you leave CPU settings as they come).
Cancun and triton disabled. Triton removed entirely.
Core Control Helper disabled.
New governors have been added! The default governor is now Bioshock.
You have a choice from ElementalX, Despair, Darkness, Alucard, Wheatley, blu_active, uhh prob 1 or 2 others. Note that not all governors are optimized for this chipset and may cause high CPU usage. Bioshock and blu_active work great! Note that the Darkness driver is outdated. Alucard24 did update it a few days ago, but for now, I don't recommend the Darkness driver.
V6 WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE EVERY TIME YOU FLASH IT!
This new version is going to WIPE your PHONE! This means that your apps, save states for games, games, and custom settings will be deleted.
You can backup your call logs and text+mms messages. My favorite app is called SMS Backup and Restore (by Carbonite).
If you have games and/or apps that you have to backup, you can use Titanium Backup. DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM APPS! Basically if the app is not white in the Titanium Backup list, do not back it up. If it is green, or red, do not back it up, and certainly don't restore it on the new ROM!!!
ROM is much smaller now. ZIP is only 1.06GB. Lots more stuff ripped out of it. Shouldn't download new stock updates either. Will post a full debloat list tomorrow. No features were harmed in the making of this ROM.
I personally prefer to just use Google Assistant for pretty much everything, including Weather and Weather notifications. So the LG Weather has been removed.
I have 2 rebloat zips.
The LG only zip restores LG Weather, LE QMemoPlus (quickcapture), LG Music, and LG Update center.
The full rebloat zip restores everything minus carrier spyware, and lookout. I do not recommend flashing the full rebloat zip, and if you must, be sure to open the ZIP and delete anything out of it you do not specifically want to re-add. Don't flash the whole 450MB zip just to get LG Backup or something like that.
Phone likes to sleep, sometimes it goes hours without dropping 1%... It's weird... Idk .
Remember, if you don't use NFC, turn it off and save a little extra battery.
Also, phone does not have OK Google....
It only has Google Assistant . She is really awesome! It does not identify as a Pixel either.
Here is the link to v6. It will wipe your phone any time that you flash it! Note that the .ZIP says (fixed). This is because it already includes the fix for WiFi calling, SMS, and hotspot. I used some of the active members as guinea pigs, sue me
So once you flash your phone, just wait... It will take a long time. Once it boots, it will ask for your SIM card. Just wait a minute, and it will come on.
Go through the initial setup, make sure to give Color Control and Rootswitch SU access when prompted (will be really early, if you miss it just open SuperSU app and force grant permission).
Once you finish initial setup with fingerprint and all that stuff let it download whatever Google Play apps it finds, then get to your home screen and reboot the phone to complete setup.
Note, you must manually install Google Play Services. If you hold your Home button, it will activate Google Assistant (same as before with OK Google), and it will get a Services download.
Also, be sure to open Maps, it too will ask you to do a Google Play Services download.
If SafetyNet fails, you do not have Google Play Services, or you forgot to disable root.
SafetyNet passes root check, and unlocked bootloader check.
Here is everything that was ripped out of the ROM
Here is a ZIP to restore some of the removed LG apps on v6 for the 10j build.
This only includes
LG Music app + widget
LG Weather + everything related to it
LG Qmemoplus
LG UpdateCenter

Below is just old info from previous ROMs.
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG.
I have added a few mods to it.
FEATURES
**This ROM is deODEXd
**Has init.d support
**Modified build.prop for better performance and hardware utility
**Removed bloatware (including that HORRID Lookout)
**Force encrypt disabled
**New kernel built-in.
**Based off 3.18.31 from @jcadduono source (thanks so much)!
**Added in the blu_active governor and set as default (via post_boot)
**No-op scheduler is default, and recommended
**Updated build.prop for better Hotspot support.
**More build.prop tweaks
**init.d support baked into the kernel
**Battery life should be noticeably improved, with no loss of performance (maybe even a bit faster).
**No need to wipe anything. System and caches are automatically wiped.
**Updated to SuperSU 2.78 SR4
**Updated boot and shutdown animation to the Android 7 default (thanks @freeza )
**More bloat removed
** Now includes more performance tweaks.
**Full Busybox support included!
**Built-in DNS Ad-blocking
**Fixed updater-script and binary
**Removed Sony Bravia/Xperia Engine
**Zen_Decision HotPlug enabled by default. (This will improve battery life, especially when your screen is off)
**TCP Congestion controller set to Westwood+ (improved download speeds)
**KCAL Color Control! Plus the Color Control app! Thanks to @savoca for KCAL and the app! Thanks to @freeza for the updated KCAL.c source file
**IO Stats for scheduler turned off
**IO Read ahead set to 2048kb
**Added init.d scripts to optimize your phone, and keep it fast over time.
**VPN is fixed!
**Gallery locked files are fixed!
**Bluetooth and FM should be fixed!
**No hotspot or ADB debug issues!
**More things I can't remember.
Kernel built on the Linaro 6.1.1 x86_x64 toolchain
Latest: v5.5
If you are already on v5.1,here is the 5.5 update. This is intended only for people already on v5.1. It will not wipe anything, and your phone will not need to do its initial setup.
Here are the changes for v5.5:
The main changes here are even more battery saving
**some voltage control preparations (still not active)
**added a DNS resolver module to maybe help some people with hotspot.
**Bluetooth and FM should work even better than before (hopefully not worse lol) **added assertive display which should help draw less power with screen on (not sure if it is actually working, but meh it's in there)
** C-states are made aware in the kernel, so sleeping should be more effective, while waking up should be more snappy.
More things. Do it!
Can confirm Pokemon GO and Android Pay work perfectly. Just need to hide root.
Use the app attached.
Checkmark where it says "Stop all su daemons"
Reboot
Open RootSwitch again, and the checkmark should still be there, click disable root, and test with an app called SafetyNet Helper Sample from Play Store. When root is disabled, SafetyNet test will pass with a full green screen.
When you are done playing, you can enable root again. The game checks every so often, so root needs to be disabled to play for X amount of time.
Here are the changes for v5.1:
The only change in v5.1 that it has my updated kernel. It had previously been giving bugs to random people in bluetooth. Also, FM radio was broken. I am happy to announce that as of 5.1, all functions are in full working order, and there should be nothing else wrong in the ROM.
Here are the changes for v5:
**ViPER4Android is preinstalled
**Kernel updates to latest sources (no changes other than updates)
**Rebased ROM to a full system dump. Major thanks to @NotATreoFan ! His intuition was quite helpful. This should fix issues with WiFi calling, and other odd bugs that have been creeping about.
**Included Titanium Backup pre-installed. I highly recommend getting the license, this program rocks, and never has ads. With a license you can do batch functions, and theres more features.
**Included Kernel Adiutor to prepare future kernel updates (CPU/GPU under+over clocking later on). You can also use this to tweak I/O settings, governor, screen color). Everything should run pretty good as it is, but what I do, is set read_head in I/O to 2048, and disable I/O Stats. I also set it on boot. I do not recommend modifying any CPU or GPU frequencies since there are no changes in the kernel to allow for that.
**Fully debloated. Thanks again to NATF for pointing out the files that were installing the last bit of carrier-based bloat (amazon, facebook stub installer, etc).
**Updated to latest Super SU
**Other things here and there to try and fix bugs.
**Oh, the FM module from the original ROM was also restored. This, in conjunction with the files retrieved from NATF's full dump, should fix FM!
**If you have issues on your phone, and are trying to fix them, I recommend you do a clean install.
**However, if your phone is fine and you have had no issues, you can go ahead and just dirty flash.
No need to wipe anything. The only people who had to or need to wipe, are those on my v2.0 ROM. If you are on any version below or higher (including 2.1) you do not need to wipe anything. If you are on stock ROM, ODEXd or deODEXd, or any other NRD90M ROM, you don't need to wipe, the ZIP will take care of everything for you. /data will not be wiped, so all your old apps and settings will be there. Internal storage is of course untouched.
For anyone interested in my color options, they are:
My new settings are:
All 3 colors at 256
Saturation 64
Value 127
Contrast 129
Know that I love deep, rich, vibrant colors. Also, changing colors will not change effects on pictures taken! This is post-processing. Your phone's screen is what changes, not the files that you create.
Note: Adding saturation (vibrance) will always give some sort of color banding -especially since KCAL is post-processing. You can minimize color banding by ever-so-slightly reducing gamma (read as "Value" in the Color Control app), and by ever-so-slightly fine-tuning Contrast. The value changes would be minimal, and the color banding will only be reduced ever-so-slightly, but this is just how it is. Nonetheless, the device looks friggin amazing with the color options set.
Thanks @zhuhang for V4A!
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP
Viper4Android is included! To enable, run the app, and configure how you please!
More to come (as I learn to do it)
Please make any requests. If it is not too difficult, I will learn how to, and add it to the MODDED ROM!
REBLOAT
If you want to add in things I removed, flash this. It will include all apps that were removed. You can open the ZIP and simply delete anything inside the system folder that you don't want before you flash it.

Yea I'll add something to the OP tomorrow.
You can flash this without any other steps. Just copy to phone, boot to TWRP, flash. Everything else is taken care of.

Follow the steps listed on my thread and it will work @ ViPER4Android.
Lol'd.
I was able to successfully port it, as displayed by the poll and close to 300 downloads.

I was wondering if that was just me. No, USB Debugging does not work for me either. Hmm... Now how did I break ADB integration? And how do I fix it?!

Ok I'll try again later. Oh, I thought you were a different person lol.
I did try the steps in your OP. I also baked in all the files, and set all permissions accordingly with the updater script. No matter what, It always tells me that the Driver must be installed. Upon trying to install, it says IO Error. Even though root is on, and System is R/W. /shrug
I am assuming just bout to recovery and flash?
Is there any way to disable the sound mod if I wanted to?
Thank you Tilde88 for your hard work. Thats really awesome to have ROM like that.
Do you think you can also add:
1. boot animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/stock-android-7-0-boot-shutdown-t3499524
2. 2nd screen flash on new text: http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/2nd-screen-flash-text-message-tasker-t3490220
3. Also change emoji to samsung ones. Those from LG are terrible. http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/aroma-1-click-emoji-changer-10-to-pick-t3499517
4. Ad blocker is the same as Ad away? I wish we could get rid of adds from apps.
Thank you again
What's the difference between this rom and the other one that you posted? This one just has mods baked in?
Can you dirty flash this over stock ROM

Yes. Your viper is working. I can't get XHiFi working. But, I don't care. The original viper works great!

@Tilde88 ? There is also another rom with bravia built in, what are the differences?? Why not just update your other thread/rom?
