Okay i m new to android (my P500's a week old , have been using linux for ages though ) and i gotta ask is there really any performance boost and increased battery (backup time) with the REMIX roms like prime megatron(rocks by the way) ..I m not considering overclocking so please dont mention it...Just Running it on stock speeds also can beta kernels effect positively on performance ???
OR can a kernel be optimised for making the battery hold charge long before getting charged??? ALL IDEAS r welcome
Tweaked ROMs can definetely increase battery life and performance.
I'll explain only one thing. If a ROM is tweaked to keep more apps in RAM instead of killing them you get 2 things:
1. Apps launches almost instantly.
2. Better battery life because the CPU doesn't have to reload the app again.
I hope you understood.
You can off course use SetCPU (Utility for controlling the clock speed of the proccessor and the kernel CPU governor) with the stock ROM by installing the OC kernel (Which increaces my performance so much that I need to underclock). If you want to increase the default heap size, I suggest flashing AmberHome or Light. Also, the stock ROM is odexed and can't accept custom themes (Which are created by modifying the framework-apk.apk).
Void is the best choise if you want a Gingerbread-like interface and many built-in apps.
Devoid is somewhat similar to the Light ROM, but hardware acceleration is disabled by default, so flash Devoid if you want long battery life.
Prime and Megatron are discounted...
There is another ROM, OptimusXrom, but I haven't tested it yet.
Finally, if you want a true Gingerbread Android, install the experimental CyanogenMod 7. Most drivers are not present, so I recommend flashing it only if you want to help develop it.
Hey themes are in themes for Launcher(Adw or LAuncher PRo???? ) HOw can i customise the rest of the os Say change the color of the notification bar ??? are there any such themes available ??? Are u talking about metamorph??? Also how can i contribute to porting CM7 to P500 i m well versed with C,C++, shell scripting etc..
Like I said in the previous post, you need to modify framework-res.apk from /system/framework/. Be caution, always do a NANDroid backup before applying your theme.
About CM7 - you need to download the P500 source from LG's web site and compile the drivers to fit the Linux 2.6.35 kernel. It is not a bad idea to compile the kernel too .
i dint find cm7 for optimus one
Hi Peeps... I would like to know the following about ICS Alpha Build 13
1) Is it still fast without Hardware Acceleration?
2) Does a different browser work?
3) Does WIFI work?
4) From your personal experience, would you recommend Alpha 13?
It's the easiest to just test it .
Won't kill you
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
Camera and HW acceleration doesn't work... So I prefer ICS stock rom posted in development section based on gingerbread
Also, can it be overclocked to 864 mHz.. EmoBoiix3.. please give me an insight to this ROM.. really appreciate it.. THANKS!
It's in alpha stage ,has many issues it requires various fixs .will take time to come in beta stage
I won't recommend it !
It's not for daily usage
If you want to test it ,then trylegacy build ,which is the latest and better
Overlock ? Not possible ! First the let rom be stable first !
ok
i will tell you what i know
and hope it helps
i tried legacy 7 and it works and is a nice rom
but has alot of bugs but looks good
and the things i didnt like was that when you set a wallpaper screen flicks and no view is there
except that you should be ready for no camera and all
but it is not stable but it is kinda fast sometimes
but what can you say it is still under works and about alpha 13 you asked
i tried it and it wont work for me
so you are most welcome to give it a try
Click thanks if i helped

TUTORIAL
How to overclock my device?
What do we need?
-Android device
-Kernel wich supports OC or UC (Stock kernel can be used for UC)
-App to manage CPU speeds
I have all of these what do i do now?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxNFz_ad3Us&feature=youtu.be
Follow that tutorial i made for you guys it shows some of the OC.
Kernels i reccomend.
XSX kernel(Stable and fast has some things others don't have.)
SSspeed kernel(Made for pure speed is most of the time stable and gives good benchmark scores!)
Pure ics kernel-for cm9/cm10(this kernel is the same as SSspeed but it's for CM.)
FAQ
Q-can this damage my device?
A-yes if you use too high speeds
Q-do i need root acces?
A-yes
Q-how to get those govenors?
A-if your kernel does not have them ask your kernel maker to put them in
Q-my device keeps rebooting when overclocking to high speeds
A-this means it is not stable try a bit lower
Q-my device gets hot!
A-turn it off before you damage your hardware
If you have questions ask them bellow or PM me
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DAMAGE IT IT IS YOUR PROBLEM

Dear Friends
Please help me for choose the best & performance ram or kernel for playing HD games.:cyclops:
it`s not important to me for using high power of battry .
my phone bootloader is open & have official ram.
Wat u want ram for ur device?
LOL....some guyz cud never read the stickies...here's the best rom/kernel- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969555
Cheers,

Gingerbread-based ROMs are always recommended if you're a gamer. Just add tweaks to build.prop and init.d. As for the kernel, just use a kernel that supports overclocking (all custom kernels do). You might also want to set smoothass or brazilianwax as your governor and sio as your I/O scheduler.
got a new site for downloading ram here. its real all right!
Just a heads up, it is against the XDA rules to ask such questions-
" Which is the BEST ROM or Which is the Best Kernel"

WiFi not working when flashed on Paranoid Android 4.6(Beta 5)
Hello, I have flashed this kernel over Paranoid Android's Fresh installation but as I try to turn on wifi,it keeps displaying that 'wifi is turning on' and it keeps displaying like forever, I have even tried wiping data,cache and dalvik cache after flashing but the problem is still persisting,
I request you to please suggest me what should I do to make this kernel work.
thank you

I dont know what the specified rom is based on , cm or aosp ?
I have cyanogen mod. Rc1. The WiFi wouldn't turn on. I had flashed the v0.5
Sent from my XT1022 using XDA Free mobile app
Would like to help test this build, but I'm pretty new to smartphones in general
I managed to install CM11 via step-by-step instructions, but that's about it.
Would you recommend against doing something as advanced as custom kernels at that early stage of learning?
If you think it's not too difficult to pull off, I'd be grateful for instructions.

If u like experimenting, go on and do it. XD to flash the kernel just do a backup of boot.img in TWRP recovery, then flash the kernel, if you dont like it, just restore the boot.img. Its easy. Im new to all this too
trickster mod gpu governor
Can't find the option to change GPU frequency in trickster mod. Its been said that after flashing the alpha .7 kernel in moto e running cm11 GPU can be over clocked. But I can't find the option to do so. Pls help me on this...

same here, in trickster mod only few options avaible, like dt2w and sound control....
So eager to overclock moto e GPU and RAM
[KERNEL 3.4.104][CM] ALPHA Kernel 0.7 update[nov 17-2014]
(use Trickster mod kernel to avail some of the features)
-Intelli Hotplug v3.8 (for better battery perf)
-Intelli Thermal v2 thermal manager.
-Ram OC to 400mhz from 333mhz
-gpu OC to 433mhz from 400 mhz
[/B][/U]-cpu underclock upto 91mhz (good battery life)
-Sound control 3.4
How to get that RAM and GPU frequency? Is it overclocked by default in this kernel or should we manually do it if so how?
I can't post the issue in the latest thread since I am a junior member. Here nobody answers the question. Really sad. Please take this post to the main thread...

Try to increase post count to 10 by helping others i the General and Q&A sections....
Once you've got 10 counts under your belt, you'll be promoted to Member and you can post in the development threads...
BTW, don't remember the magical no. is 10 or 25...
Check the warning message during posting and you'll know... :good:
Thanks...thanks a lot..

Trickster mod has the option to OC.
I don't remember exactly, but its a value on the scale of percentage. (100 being default).You need to change it in steps (usually by 1).
Google how to use trickster mod. Or try any other GUI based CPU app. Most apps support CPU OC if the kernel supports it.
Ps: Its been long since I used Trickster mod and OC'd. So it might be a lil different than I remember.
Also, to enable OC, you might have to disable Battery Saver.
This section went out of my sight , i will check it regularly from here on :good::good::good:
I downloaded the latest trickstermod and installed. Checked the tutorial too. In tutorial I saw the overclocking slider and stuff. But with this kernel I couldn't see any option like that in trickstermod. Its been said that we can underclock RAM frequency too in the kernel features. GPU tweaking is also another feature of this kernel. But I am unable to use these options with trickstermod. Can this be done with any other app supporting this kernel?
If so pls help me out with app link and screenshots.
Thanks a lot for your response...waiting to overclock...
Root Problem
I somehow lost root permissions and SuperSU says binary cannot be installed. Happened after i flashed this kernel. If anybody faced such problem and got a solution please help me out with it :'(

+1 i got the same problem & only after flashing this kernel...
any ideas how to fix root?
tried installing su binary through twrp & it installs fine but when launched super su says no binary is installed.
Digital TV and root access does not work.
Digital TV does not work, so I installed this kernel I lost root access , I did the flash SuperSu.zip again , but still no root access ..: c
i suppose , the root problems arent occuring anymore
