[ROM+KERNEL] [GB 2.3.7] [2012-AUG-05] boype's modded CyanogenMod 7




Upon positive feedback to my initial post and several requests in the modded-cm7-thread, here's the thread for the development section.

This thread is about providing everyone with my CyanogenMod 7 Kang and the modifications I added to it. Both ROM and Kernel are compiled from source in a Linux environment with Linaro toolchain and Java JDK. Note: This is by no means my ROM. My work is based on the awesome efforts by everyone who contributed to CM7. While initially I built the ROM only for myself in order to adjust a few things to my liking, after some development I thought "It's so good, I might as well share it".


Highlights of my CM7 Kang:
All CM7 commits up to August 3, 2012
Very smooth and snappy overall experience (smooth spinners, smooth indeterminate progress bar, different screen transition animations, some other things)
Enhanced audio experience (digital audio mixer, increased headphone volume, Beats Audio, more volume increments)
Increased battery life through kernel tweaks like writeback variables, underclocking, WLAN undervolting, and LED-button light dimming
Custom CM7 Kernel with battery-optimized smartass2 governor, additional interactivex and ondemandx governors, default SIO i/o scheduler(2012 version), battery optimized sysctl variables and many more improvements
G-key usable as a launch button for the camera app, as shutter key inside the camera app, and also as music play/pause key when the screen is locked
increased camera jpeg quality (pictures are ~ 1.3 - 1.7 MB)
Option to center the statusbar clock (not enabled by default) and change the clock's color (white by default)
Option to set the statusbar color (not enabled by default). You can choose between fully transparent, semi-transparent, and any custom color.
Optional 1.2 GHz overclocking via menu
Fixed GPS performance and largely fixed audio routing
VPN support
G-recovery

Note: the Europe fix is already integrated in the ROM. If you still have problems or just want a local NTP server for GPS, use this fix. You won't get a GPS lock within seconds the first time, but 2nd, 3rd, 4th (...) time should get better.


Full Changelog and source references:
Changelogs:

cm-7-20120805-p970-boype

- Reverted microphone gain on handset calls back to standard values, while maintainig the increased gain for everything else. (Some users reported distorted sound due to high gain. Actually, I assumed that calls were excluded from the gain.)

- Went back to standard app package - no apps removed, no apps added (not even google apps). Can't argue with personal taste...

- Pre-set GPS fix is set to European NTP server (so no need to flash the EU GPS fix)



cm-7-20120803-p970-boype

- All CM7 commits up to August 3, 2012

- Fixed GPS permission issue being repsonsible for bad GPS fix performance

- Fixed large parts of the (very messed up) audio routing:
	- In a call, when enabling handfree (speaker) mode, the interlocutor could not hear anything 
	- In a call with headphones attached, the interlocutor could not hear anything
	- In a call via headset, the interlocutor experienced very low volume
	- Increased overall mic recording volume by 66% (Regular calls are excluded from that. However, e.g. Skype calls and voice recording are boosted.)
	
- Added option to set the statusbar color (not enabled by default). You can choose between fully transparent, semi-transparent, and any custom color. (By JerryScript. source 1 + source 2)

- Fixed a small bug with the center clock, which wasn't correctly "rolled in" after events in the status bar ticker.
	
- Changed Launcher to the official Play Store version of ADW Launcher (gives a little better performance and smoothness)

- Integrated Google apps (gapps) into ROM package and updated most of them to the latest version

- Integrated the LG Memo app and widget (pulled them from a stock GB ROM)

- Integrated Root Browser, Fancywidgets (great weather widgets), HTC IME mod (superb keyboard) and some other useful apps

- Deleted useless apps from ROM: DeskClock, FileManager, LatimIME, LiveWallpapers, LiveWallpapersPicker, MagicSmokeWallpapers, Protips, RomManager. I have added a zip package with the deleted apps to the OP, in case you want any of those apps back.
  
- Integrated a couple of notification/ringtone sounds: 'Guitar 2' and 'Major' from HTC, 'Wake up' from Sony Ericsson, and two retro Super Mario sounds :)

- Kernel: Set CPU OPs to 200-400-600-800-1000-(1200) MHz

- Kernel: Re-integrated almost all parts of LG DVFS and rewrote them to work with the new frequencies. This largely stabilizes the kernel!

- Kernel: Tweaked voltages, GPU frequencies and screen-off ramping behavior to optimize battery life

- Kernel: Fixed WiFi hang on re-enable. Connecting WiFi is really fast now :) (Thanks to Conn O'Griofa). (source)

- Kernel: Undervolted WLAN some more

- Kernel: Added ondemandx governor and changed to regular smartass2 / interactivex governors (non-DoomLord versions)

- Kernel: Updated SIO to 2012 version and tweaked it slightly

- Kernel: ...more changes under the hood. Check the sources if you're interested. 

	
- Updated building environment: Kernel and ROM are compiled with Linaro toolchain 11.10 / Java JDK 6u33



cm-7.2.0-p970-20120715-boype

- All commits up to July 15, 2012

- Implemented Beats Audio into the ROM for an enhanced music experience. If you don't like it for some reason, just use the Beats Audio remover listed under the download links. Huge thanks to RockoDev. (source)

- Kernel: fixed the SOD / freeze issues. Thanks again to kdo_vi and Siguiriya for beta testing.

- Kernel: fixed the issue where the phone was laggy for a minute or so after changing the frequency. This means, that you can now also set your desired frequency and governor on boot without any initial lag or other downsides.

- Kernel: removed a lot of LG DVFS stuff from the code. Only the very necessary lines for a smooth operation remain.

- Kernel: lowered LED-button energy input by ~40%. Battery savings 'hello' ;)

- Kernel: tweaked SIO a bit for better I/O performance

- Kernel: some more changes under the hood. Check the Kernel source if you're interested.

- A sidenote for the benchmark kids: Change your governor to ondemand or interactiveX when you want to get the best possible synthetic benchmark scores.



cm-7.2.0-p970-20120711-boype

- Kernel: Fixed bug where CPU frequencies and governor could not be set properly in CM Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings (I removed parts of LG DVFS for that)

- Kernel: increased voltage for 200 MHz CPU frequency to get rid of reported SODs

- Kernel: added optional 1.2 GHz overclocking support, selectable from the CM Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings menu

- Kernel: added SIO i/o scheduler and set default

- Kernel: smartassV2 is default governor again



cm-7.2.0-p970-20120710-boype

- All CM7 commits up to build date

- Kernel: Underclocked the lowest CPU operating point (OPP) to 200 MHz (was 300 MHz before) and applied lower voltage for that OPP. Also adjusted GPU frequencies in a linear way for all OPPs (each 100 MHz increase adds 80 MHz more GPU clock, so in the end the default GPU maximum of 800 MHz is reached at a CPU speed of 1000 MHz). Huge thanks to Huexxx and his released Kernel sources!

- Kernel: lowered WLAN voltage to save battery. Operating voltage is now between 1.7 Volt and 2.7 Volt (was 1.8 - 3.0 Volt before).

- Kernel: Set tickrate to 72 Hz. I expect this to be a battery saver when screen is on.

- Kernel: Back to deadline i/o scheduler

- Kernel: More kernel stuff under the hood, see the Kernel source if you're interested



cm-7.2.0-p970-20120704-KANG

- All CM7 commits up to build date

- G-key is no longer a "dead" key:

	- when screen is on, long press will open the camera app
	- inside the camera/camcorder app, g-key will serve as camera shutter key (Enable it in camera app -> advanced settings; I implemented this function)
	- When the screen is off, long press can be set to toggle music play/pause (Enable it in Settings -> CM settings -> Input; I unlocked this function)

- Increasing ringtone option (cherry-pick, authored by Danny Baumann; source 1 + source 2 + source 3)

- Disabled trackball options from Settings -> CM settings -> Input (since the optimus black has no trackball)

- Added 40mb heapsize to Settings -> CM settings -> Performance settings and set as default (was 32mb before)

- Kernel: added interactivex and set as default governor

- Kernel: set noop as default i/o scheduler

- Kernel: added support for VPN (compiled and integrated tun.ko module for that)

- Kernel: added g-recovery by sergey1369. When you have a bootloop, you can still access CWM by repeatedly pressing the G-key while booting. Also thanks to Huexxx for answering a question ;) (source)



cm-7.2.0-p970-20120625-KANG

- All CM7 commits up to build date

- Added "center clock" and "clock color" feature by jerryscript (source 1 + source 2)

- Kernel: Updated SmartassV2 with DooMLoRD's optimized version of the governor (I hope to achieve even better battery life) (source)

- Kernel: changed taskkiller values to 6mb 8mb 26mb 28mb 30mb 32mb (1536 2048 6656 7168 7680 8192) -> values taken from the "balanced 3" setting from zeppelinrox's supercharger v6 (I encountered some slight issues with the previous values at multitasking) (source)



cm-7.2.0-p970-20120620-KANG

- All CM7 commits up to build date

- Removed blur effect from popup menus (like the power-off menu) since it was causing slowness and lag

- Changed wifi default timeout to 5 minutes after screen goes off. cm7 default hardcoded value was 15 minutes

- Changed analog audio mixer to digital audio mixer. subjective listening result: less distortion and hissing via headphones

- Changed volumes for louder headphones and maximum speaker volume without distortion

- Added build.prop tweak for better battery life: pm.sleep_mode=1

- set wifi scan interval to 150 seconds to save battery (was 20 or 30 before)

- Raised jpeg encoding quality to 97 for better image quality of photos (was 90 before). note: this is not a build.prop tweak, since that method won't work on CM7

- Added "smooth spinners" (the "please wait"-circle-animation)

- Created smooth indeterminate progress bar (the "infinite" progress bar). just applied some very basic photoshop skills for that

- A-GPS: added european NTP server (was north american before)

- Added more increments to volume bars for everything (music, ringtone, notification, alarm, calls, .....)

- Changed transition effects to lge-p970-froyo-stock because they look nicer and smoother

- Removed the android legacy libGLES driver, since it prevented the SGX530's graphics driver to do its job properly (should give a smoother overall experience + is proven to give an improved gaming experience)

- Kernel: added smartass2 governor and set default with battery-optimized values: DEFAULT_AWAKE_IDEAL_FREQ 800000; DEFAULT_SLEEP_IDEAL_FREQ 300000; DEFAULT_RAMP_UP_STEP 100000; DEFAULT_RAMP_DOWN_STEP 100000; DEFAULT_MAX_CPU_LOAD 66; DEFAULT_MIN_CPU_LOAD 33; DEFAULT_UP_RATE_US 48000; DEFAULT_DOWN_RATE_US 99000; DEFAULT_SLEEP_WAKEUP_FREQ 99999999; DEFAULT_SAMPLE_RATE_JIFFIES 2

- Kernel: set deadline i/o scheduler default

- Kernel: set battery driver to output current voltage in mV (so it is displayed correctly e.g. in spareparts' battery info)

- Kernel: set swappiness to 0

- Kernel: tweaked writeback and cache variables for extended battery life
 
    dirty_ratio 90   
    dirty_background_ratio 80  
    dirty_expire_centisecs 1000  
    dirty_writeback_centisecs 2000
    min_free_kbytes 4096      
    vfs_cache_pressure 10

- Kernel: tweaked /system, /data and /cache mountings (from Huexxx kernel) (source)

- Kernel: changed taskkiller values to 6mb 8mb 24mb 26mb 28mb 30mb (1536 2048 6144 6656 7168 7680) -> values taken from the "balanced 1" setting from zeppelinrox's supercharger v6 (source)

- Kernel: tweaked tcp buffersizes to 4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960

- Kernel: tweaked SD-card readahead to 2048kb

Installation, notes and bugs:

Known bugs:
CM7 has a couple of generic bugs. While I managed to fix some of them (like the audio routing and GPS), e.g. video recording still has low framerates.
Please report bugs if you find any!
Installation procedure and problems after installation:
To install, you need a rooted phone with ClockWorkMod (NOT the touch version!) installed. Simply copy the downloaded ROM to your SD-card and reboot into recovery. In recovery, do a "wipe data/factory reset", an additional "wipe cache partition" and a "wipe dalvik cache" (to be found under "advanced"). After that, choose "install zip from sdcard" and install the ROM. If finished, go back and choose "reboot system now".
It is perfectly possible to flash the kang over any other CM7 version (nightlies, kangs). Also, you can flash any other CM7 over my kang. Just wipe cache and dalvik before.
When you're switching to CM7 from a stock-based ROM: Few users reported problems of various sorts. If you experience any problems, re-flash CM7 with all wipes (data/cache/dalvik cache). This should solve your problems in most cases.
The transparent / colored status bar feature does not work with with all launchers or types of wallpapers. In ADW Launcher, the 'wallpaper hack' option must be disabled for the feature to work! Note that there is no solution out there for making it work with any launcher and wallpaper.
Few users have reported problems with getting a GPS lock. I have built a fix for that, which is already integrated into the ROM from version 2012-08-03 on. If you still experience problems, try flashing a GPS fix listed under 'Download links'.
To those who are new to CM7:
CM7 is a powerful ROM that adds a lot of features compared to stock ROMs. Things which are noteworthy are a customizable power-widget, vibrate-notifications on established/disconnected calls, LED notifications, different lockscreen styles, volume keys to choose next/previous audio track, an ICS-like screen rotation animation, ascending ringtones, and much more. Many people may still think CM7 is buggy and unstable, but it is not anymore, since great progress has been made over the last months.
The Google apps ("gapps") are in principal not included in CM7 builds. I have provided a link for then in the download section.
Miscellaneous tips:
Many apps that come pre-installed with CM7 can be removed if you don't like them. Check out this list of items to make sure it is safe to remove a specific app.
If you don't like the launcher that is pre-installed, you should get ADW Launcher EX or Launcher Pro.
If you want to install other themes, search for CM7 themes on Google's Play Store. For example, there are great ICS-styled themes. Also check out this MIUI theme for CM7.

Llevo todo el dia con esta ROM, y no puedo decir mas que im-pre-sio-nan-te!
Bateria en idle increible, ningun sod o FC, y llevo todo el dia viciando al parallel mafia, chateando por whatsapp, escuchando musica...nada raro por el momento! y es rapidisima!

Como no la veo todavia en el hilo de desarrollos, he puesto arriba el hilo oficial de XDA.

Eso si, tras flashearla comprobad que todo va bien, a mi la primera vez me daba errores raros en algunas aplicaciones,como en el whatsapp (me ponia dispositivo no identificado ¿?) .
Mas tarde, fui a hacer una llamada y me di cuenta de que no tenia sonido!
Ni musica ni timbre, ni notificaciones ni nada! No hacia ningun sonido!
Volvi a hacer los 6 wipes y a flashear, y esta vez fue todo perfecto.
Es posible que el problema fuese que la primera vez no flashee a la vez cm7 + kernel + gapps de una sola vez, sino que me acorde mas tarde de lo demas.

A ver si os va tan bien como a mi .

Esa ya la he probado yo, hemos estado ablando de ella en el hilo de temasek, es la del 25/06/2012.

Yo estaba como tu hasta que me ha hecho cosas raras y me ha empezado a fallar grabando videos, pasate por el hilo de temasek.

Aps...vale es que como no tenia nada que ver con las Kang de Temasek, y ni mire en ese hilo.
Y si, estaba mirando ambos foros, el de desarrollo y el genereal, y se me ha ido la pinza jaja y lo puesto en el genereal, aiss!
Que algun mod elimine este thread si hace el favor, al fin y al cabo acabo de hacer un repost como quien dice

[Pedronski]

No hombre, que la muevan a "Roms". La de temasek tiene que ver poco con la que presentas tu.

[alxm.air]

Esperar a que moludo o algun mod lo muevan a la seccion indicada jeje

[dabyd64]

Pues es cierto..deberian comentar aqui y no en las kang de temasek. Nada que ver...

[skuallx]

alguien puede decir si con este kernel hay congelamientos?

A mi al querer poner la barra de notificación transparente(que es lo que me gusta de cm7 con tema de meizu, lunarui, miui... Etcétera ) no me abre el browser(se queda en color negro) y en contactos y tapatalk no se miran las opciones de arriba :s ;la camara no sirve y la bateria va mas o menos que las kang ... A mi la vdd me ha dado mas problemas que soluciones.... Aver si a alguien le ha pasado :s suerte!!!

Creo recordar que una vez me paso algo raro con el market, instale 29 aplicaciones una detras de otra dejandolas todas en la cola, total que el movil estaba instalando descargando y todo a la vez, y en un momento dado se quedo pillado y empezo a ir lentisimo.
Lo reinicie y volvi a instalarlas sin problema.
Aunque con las roms oficiales tampoco es la primera vez que me pasa algo asi.
Ningun cuelgue escuchando musica como en las anteriores CM, no le veo nada raro por el momento.
Llevo von ella unos dias y la verdad muy contento, la unica pega el tema de la camara.

Chicos con la mala fama de las cyano con el consumo de la batería tenia metido en la cabeza fe que gasta más, pero he hecho una comparación con una zeus v6.28n con tema xperia v3 y.. están muy igualadas, ganando aqui la cm7 con una hora más de reposo y el mismo tiempo de uso, las que gastan menos es la marvel v6 o supressed v4, pero tb se agotan rapidillo con el uso..
