[ROM][CM7][AUDIOFIX][03/13/11][BATTFIX] PhunkyCow flavoured CM7: Killer Llama v2

NOW WITH AUDIO FIX BY TurboniumX and LATEST BATTERY FIX!
This is a ROM repack of the CM7 flavor PNK by PhunyCow including a lagfix and other modifications.
It has been repacked to use my patched kernel which makes it run on the Inspire 4G.
It's just to get the Inspire 4G the needed CM7 fix until the TeamDesire releases the new kernel.
Huge thanks and credits go to the CM7 team and PhunkyCow for the original ROM.
For further instructions and information on this ROM: [ROM][PNK] "Killer Llama v2" ~ Occasional & funky CM7 (Gingerbread) builds
Kernel source is available here: https://github.com/hrkfdn/linux-htc-ace
IF YOU HAVE WIFI PROBLEMS PLEASE REBOOT!
Simply flash the ZIP with ClockWorkMod >3.0.0.5 after fully wiping your phone.

umm no audio...
edit - reboot solved it. Audio is slightly tinny and volume seems to be low.
I love it but really really miss sense is it possible to install sense somehow on cm7?

I had a problem getting wifi working so I nandroided back until I have time to fiddle with it tomorrow.

I also had a problem with wifi - the reboot that fixed audio also fixed the wifi issue.

My two wishes for this are now:
The camera app that came with inspire - I think it was superior
Sense

Have you tried rebooting? First boot WiFi won't work. It's a common problem..

randomblame if you want Sense you don't want CM7. The Camera is part of the HTC framework and can't be added.

Meh I can want a lot of things that are not possible - it's my god given right as an xda forums member

Do I have to flash a different radio in order to do this?? I did the ace hack kit and did the little upgrade thing and now I'm on coredroid Tom with telus kernal

This rom is awesome. Installed, rebooted and everything worked. No need to flash anything else

What is the difference between using 3.0.0.5 and 3.0.0.6?
Is anyone having issues downloading from the Market after flashing this ROM?

I have updated the ROM to "Extra Fluffy". Also I have applied the TurboniumX audiofix and installed a newer version of the hrkfdn kernel with up to 1.5GHz OC.

I lost wifi completely after this update. Tried rebooting 3x still shows "error" under wireless settings wifi...thoughts?

Ah crap. Problem fixed, I have uploaded a fixed ROM. You can either download it again or simply push the attached file (extract zip first, obviously) to /system/lib/modules and reboot.

Looking forward to giving this a spin. Would you happen to have any screen shots? Didn't see many on the original thread in the desire HD forum. Secondly, is there a huge difference in battery between 1.2 and 1.6 kernels?

I could give you a screenshot, but I only have a Desire HD, which is why I rely on you guys to test it ;p
It's basically just CM7 with a lagfix that fixes UI delays on some devices.
It definitely does make a difference, can't tell you how significant it is, though. It's up to you what frequency range you want to use (change with SetCPU).
I don't believe that 1.5GHz is really necessary, but it was requested quite often.

Those are known CM7 bugs also occuring on the Desire HD. They are being worked on (I hope )

Battery
I seem to be getting about half the battery life with this ROM as I did with the sense ROMs, is this normal? or just me?
Seems like idle battery use is always about 18 to 30mA, at least for me. Anyone else?

Memory Optimisation Script

This is the best I've come across. MMS app, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Market, Maps and more all at once. Brilliant.
Posting it here as I know this is the busiest place. Move if it causes an issue.
Cheers!

Does it do the same thing as Zeppenlinrox's Supercharged scripts?

No, it seems to work better - I had with zeppelin's script about 50MB free ram, now I have 80MB...awesome - my phone works so much better without any performance decrease...

Trying it now. Do you recommend using it with hard to kill launcher setting? Or just return that to normal?

This script changes memfree and VM values although I do not fully understand what the script is doing.
I've been using it for a few days and I see no changes what-so-ever, good nor bad.

Well,i used the script with zeppelinrox' script and it seems they work brilliantly together:20-30mb more ram

I don't see how it clears up RAM without removing applications from it =/ .

Here works pretty well (and it's not a placebo effect)! The phone rurs better... everywhere! )

definately works. just test loading apps and switch between to see which stay open. you'll notice too there should be smoother overall performance, for example when resuming from sleep. ive also asked the guy directly and the lower frequency of android os ram cleanouts mean battery improvements. i find it for some reason better than zepplins.
i use 6.1 and have home and mms locked in mem and this script running. with no script/zepplins id be unable to watch a flash stream, answer a text and keep the flash vid running, with this i can, its great!

it removes certain apps after sleeping when in background i think. things like maps/nav/streams stay open though

Gaming wise this script fails, cut the rope hangs and is so laggy but on normal cronos gingerbrad its good.
Apart from that this script is amazing! Get 80mb free with 2 apps running (and keyboard and services!)
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk

In overall it gives snappier performance on my stone with CGMM ROM.
I would like to try this script with MIUI 1.7.1. I flashed MIUI 1.7.1 before and got 4 reboots within an hour with all the apps sit inside the ext2 partition that cost 60Mb+ RAM. I'm not hoping multi-tasking on MIUI with this script. It will be already good enough if this script can help to run those 60Mb+ RAM background services without reboot on MIUI.

applied the script on FroyoMOD.No changes.

Apart from the aggressive minfree/lowmemory killer setting, they are all sysctl tweaks.
You can get those plus more in AOR's kernel tuning menu item.
In V8 SuperCharger, I will be using the best sysctl tweaks, 3g tweaks, io scheduler tweaks (noop) and tell android that the phone doesn't have a hard drive lol
I'll probably put in the SD card tweak with a user selectable value (pick from 1 to 3 or whatever)
That way, I don't have to assume what works best for the user and the user can screw with it lol
There's more, but I forget right now...

Well, I had stopped working on it because I kept on perfecting V6.
But it's functional with the user selectable colours and what I have added so far... the 3G TurboCharger (usually build.prop tweaks but I'm screwing with local.prop) and that Overclocker that we had discussed previously.
The Overclocker won't make the final though because it's not universally applicable but I will probably make a Milestone version that includes it or make a "Zeppelinrox's Milestone Toolbox" script lol
Oh yeah, I want to add something called "Lock 'n Load Apps"

No0b guide!
Upon the recommendation of one of the thread followers, I decided to put together this thread to help noobs getting started. Hope it helps, but if you need more assistance, PM me and I can help in greater detail.
Kernels
It comes with the up-to-date CM kernel, however there are other ones that you can try! You can always use the Kernel Manager app in the market, but I'll also provide links to the threads and basic explanations of the most popular ones below.
Godm0de: toastcfh is a legendary kernel master on XDA, and he constructed this excellent kernel a ways back. It is the best non-SBC kernel, in my humble opinion. It includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, uses CFS, and is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-8.
Tiamat: an excellent kernel, available in both SBC and non-SBC. It also includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, uses CFS, and the most recent version is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-8. I personally have used the most recent SBC version (4.1.0), and really like the new lagfree governor. Personally, however, I use the famous 3.3.7 kernel, which gives unparalleled battery life.
Savaged Zen: although it is no longer in development, this kernel is absolutely wonderful, and I was a staunch supporter for a long time. The final version is 2.2.1, and includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, comes in both CFS and BFS versions, comes in both SBC and non-SBC versions, and is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-7.
I won't go into detail about all of those individual features (that is what Google is for), however I will single out SBC because of previous debate on the topic. SBC is essentially a “trickle charge” of the battery, or charging more than 100% to fully maximize the charging amount. Non-SBC kernels charge to 100%, then discharge to 90%, and recharge to 100%, and continue this cycle while still showing 100% in the top bar. This is why when you pull the phone off of the charger it instantly drops down to 90%. There have been reports of exploding batteries when SBC was first introduced, however these were quickly dismissed by many as cheap Chinese batteries (or other rumor-based exaggerations), and there have been no reported cases since this time. Point is that SBC is considered use at-your-own-risk, although I've used SBC kernels nonstop for nearly a year and have not had problems. Just an advisory notice.
SetCPU
To control how your kernel works with your CPU, you can use the SetCPU app that is available for $1.99 in the market, or for free from that thread (support the developer if you can, its worth it). This app will let you set what minimum and maximum frequencies you want (to overclock, underclock, etc), and how the CPU scales within that range. You can also use different governors, which affect the timing of that scaling from one frequency to the next based on different heuristic algorithms.
Vipermod
Vipermod is a mod that allows you to undervolt to a greater extent than what most kernels will come with. You see, kernel developers make their kernel with the target of stability, so they provide appropriate power at various frequencies to allow most users to enjoy it without further modification. That said, many phones are capable of using less power to effectively run at these frequencies, which will increase battery life. The tutorial to install and use the mod can be found on the thread, but just keep in mind that if a phone cannot handle a certain frequency, you'll get random reboots when the frequency scaling is tested. Hence, the general philosophy is to start by undervolting by -100mV, and if you get a random reboot, to increase by increments of 25mV until you no longer get those reboots. Personally, mine stopped rebooting at -50mV, and I've seen significant battery savings at this level.
Keep in mind that only certain kernels have the structure to allow this mod to work. When you try to run it, your phone will tell you if it can't run on that kernel (don't worry, it doesn't break anything, it just sucks).
Sysctl Config
The Sysctl Config app is available for free in the market, and allows you modify how your kernel frees up system resources (i.e., closes background apps, manages open apps, etc.). I won't go into what the settings mean (Google can do that for you), but the basic premise is this:
Ratio Values mean that the higher the number, the greater the percentage of app cache is stored in memory before being cleared by the system.
Cache Pressure means the pressure the system exerts on apps to close when pushed to the background.
Most kernels default with the settings of Dirty Ratio=20, Dirty Background Ratio=5, VFS Cache Pressure=100. If you change them to Dirty Ratio=95, Dirty Background Ratio=70, VFS Cache Pressure=1, it means that apps will keep cache handy longer (system resources used less frequently and smoother app use overall). Of course, you can experiment with those values, but this is dabbling with advanced kernel stuff so don't get too crazy.
V6 SuperCharger
I haven't gotten the opportunity to use the SuperCharger mod too much, but it looks to be beneficial in aiding how the internal memory structure works with OOM Groupings and lowmemkiller values. Some users report drastic increases in multitasking and battery life. It requires the Script Manager app, BusyBox 1.18.2 or lower, and the Autostart Script the mod's creator developed. The installation details are available on the thread.
I'll add more later, but this should get you started!

Sweet it might be easier to follow now I hope LOL.

That might draw some noobies in to this ROM and save on some questions being asked.

BTW this ROM is amazing but I'm still having massive battery drain! Could it be an app? Im using Vipermod @ -75mA, V6 Supercharger, Tiamat 4.0.7 SBC and this newest nightly. It's like the most amazingly beautiful combo ever, yet it's owning me =(. Also did Fix Permissions in ROM Manager twice.

I'll try it...

Is this based on latest CM7 nightly #180 ?
so I can use metamorph themes?

Great AOSP ROM. Silky smooth even clocked down to 768 mhz and undervolted -100 mV.
Question: anybody else using GoLauncher? I'm having issues with GoWidgets (calender and message) loading after a reboot. No problems with any other widgets. I can uninstall and reinstall and they show up fine. I'm testing the 1.3.1 nightly. Tonight I'm going to try a stable release and see if I get the same thing.
Looking forward to getting more time with this puppy.

Very nice OP. Good Luck. By the way, Thanks for the links on your sig.

Have you checked spare parts? It sounds like there may be an app that is causing a wakelock, check to see if there is any partial wakelocks, sensor wakelocks, etc. There is also a number of battery monitor apps available in the market that will tell you what app is using all that power, so you can sniper it a bit more effectively. The only other thing I can think to recommend is a battery calibration, if you haven't done one in a while. It absolutely NEEDS to be done when coming from a Sense rom, but every once in a while I need to do it even though I'm an AOSP all-the-way guy. It just happens when you try new kernels. PM me with some photos showing the drain (after trying those methods, of course ) and I'll see if I can help you out.

It is not based on any CM7 nightly ... they customized AOSP from scratch. I can't tell you if metamorph themes will work, but if they are built for CM7, I would venture not. Just the T-Mobile Themer app.

I am an avid GO app user, and swear by Launcher EX. The widgets not showing up after a reboot does happen with me as well, but ONLY on a reboot after I clear dalvik cache and cache. The secret I've found to geting them back is that when they show up as that white box, remove them from the screen and reboot. Once rebooted, put them back on the screen and they show up fine. They will stay on reboots too, at least until you clear those caches again.
Btw, don't ask why it does this, I have no idea haha.

Running great and love the lockscreen options as well as the statusbar tweaks. Does anybody know of any gapps that actually restore your market apps. for what ever the reason I an never seem to find any that work. I use MyBackup Root but was just curious if anyone else had this issue.

I've checked spare parts and the highest partial wakelock is Android Systen with 1m 57s and the highest sensor usage is Android System again with 46m 51s of total time. Nothing came close to those. Could you name to me one good app that monitors apps that drain battery? xD I'm using Battery Monitor Widget and System Panel Full. I've also calibrated the battery, no dice. I noticed on my Battery Monitor Widget that something is using 2mA while I'm charging with SBC. I know it's supposed to be using 0 mA -_-

It's theoretically SUPPOSED to do that, however it stays between 0 and 4mA (not a constantly 0 charge). The longer that you've had your battery, the more it does this.
One of the things that is rarely talked about with SBC is that it shortens the overall life of the battery. By gaining that 10% extra per charge on the frontend, it shortens the lifecycle of the battery significantly. Considering we replace our phone every year it rarely is a deal breaker, but the battery's ability to retain that superfull charge we all love about SBC lessens over time. Personally I believe it is totally worth it, but for people that hold onto their phone for more than a year, they sometimes need to get a new battery.
Out of curiosity, what kind of "massive battery drain" are you incurring? What kind of overall battery life / screen on time do you get, in hours?

[MOD]V6 SuperCharger for Beta 2(Works on EVERY other ROM) - Update 4/10/12

Smooth Scrolling Mod & V6 SuperCharger for CM9
Disclaimer
By downloading and installing any of these mods, you have accepted my terms of agreement. I.E Your phone gets messed up? Not my fault. Countries WAGE WAR over your phone fearing its doomsday capabilities....Guess what? NOT. MY. FAULT. *sigh* I could sit here all day and think of more cliche and childish things for a disclaimer. But I'm going to take a nap instead. Enjoy! Also, I don't claim to any of these. I am merely correcting them for our phones and releasing them to the public. I guess then it doesn't reallllly belong in development. But no one has yelled at me so let's go with it![/CENTER]
Smooth Scrolling Mod:
This mod has been deprecated. Decad3nce has informed me that it is unneeded as ICS' scroll cache kicks ass.
This mod was designed to improve scrolling performance in everything. What it did was disable the scrolling cache. The scrolling cache used by older builds of Android didn't seem to work right and seemed only store cache for apps that are used often, and also didn't make sense for applications where the window content is constantly changes(Browser, XDA, Market, etc). Wiping the cache partition also wiped it out and constant flashers such as myself are always trying something different. So all in all it was kind of useless and scroll performance was a tad better without it contantly trying to build itself. SO with the help of AndroidON's thread, I killed it!
If you want to try and apply the mod yourself, go to the thread and follow the instructions. All you really do is use smali/baksmali to decompile the framework.jar and edit /android/widget/AbsListView.smali. Specifics in the thread. Real easy to do and a good learning experience for some. Try it out!
Downloads:
This mod has been deprecated. There will be no future downloads.

V6 SuperCharger Script:
Sir!
These are extremely outdated.
Go here and scroll down down down to the bottom of the page, when zeppelinrox has placed the updated files.
I recommend flashing the Starter Kit. *And if you need to adjust your services.jar go use the web app.
HUGE UPDATE! - Mod your services.jar instantly with the ICS OOM Priority Charger WebApp!
If you weren't aware V6 SuperCharger Script is not really compatible with ICS. It just doesn't seem to do anything. That's why zeppelinrox took to finding out why and how to fix it. The result is a completely different script. Entirely designed for ICS. That seems fine a well right? Just download the new script and use it like normal...right? NO! You have to crack open services.jar in order to allow for the script to have any effect! Here is the link to the how to. It was just as easy and straightforward as the scroll mod, and I recommend giving it a look see. So what I did was rip the services.jar out of Alpha 3 and apply the mod! COOL!

I have been trying to use V6 Supercharge on CM9 and didn't seem to be getting much benefit - I honestly would not have been able to do the steps necessary to make it work - it is just over my head - so your flash file has helped me incredibly - I also never did try The other two 'tweaks' before until tonight and - the difference is amazing and immediately noticeable - extremely quick - and smooth - can't wait to see if they help save a little extra battery too - thank you very much!

All of the downloads posted here are posted in the threads above. I ask you to go to the threads and give zeppelinrox a thanks. He/she beyond deserves it.
I am also adding the links to the KickAss Kernelizer and 3G SuperCharger as well. I am using them both and it's pretty amazing. That said, the V6 SuperCharger, KickAss Kernelizer, and 3G SuperChargers will be the biggest boost you could ask for. I am underclocked AND undervolted and my phone has never been faster. YMMV but I'm still way sure.
Downloads:
Services.jar - Beta 2: Die-Hard​-Latest. Required to use the mods in ICS. This is a flashable zip. Just drag it to your SD card and flash in ClockworkMod. I ripped the updater script from EB! :tyrannosaurus: NOTE: After an Alpha update you will have to reapply this mod. THIS IS ONLY NECESSARY FOR CM9! MIUI has it built in, and V6 supports all versions of the operating system prior to ICS.
Services.jar - Beta 1: Die-Hard​Services.jar - Beta 0: Die-Hard​Services.jar - Alpha 5: Die-Hard | Bulletproof​Services.jar - Alpha 4: Die-Hard | Bulletproof​
V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC8.2.sh.pdf​
-Yes it says .pdf. That's the way zeppelinrox had to do it because the scripts got huge and the limit on .txt forced them to change. If you have a problem downloading it, right-click and select "Save Link as". You can remove the .pdf after the fact, but it doesn't really matter. Drag this to your SD card and then open it with root permissions with Script Manager. Note: When asked which speed you want to scroll at it gives for options 1-3. You can STILL choose 0. Choosing 0 will make the script run at top speed. This is useful for people who open it often. After initial setup scroll down and you should see 30 options. There are three pertaining to "512 HP". Choose one of those options. I chose option seven for example. I also turned on the "Nitro Lag Nullifier" experimental option. I have seen no ill effects. Only good happy rainbow effects. There is also SuperClean! Which just wipes your dalvik-cache and reboots. It's prompted, but you can say no. Which is probably for the best considering there is no shutdown. Instant reboot. Which can kill data. So yeah YMMV. Be careful. Make a nandroid! NOTE: After an Alpha update you will have to reapply this mod.
KickAssKernelizer_Tweaks_Installer_Update_3_RC8.sh.pdf​
-Again .pdf. You can remove the .pdf after the fact, but it doesn't really matter. Drag this to your SD card and then open it with root permissions with Script Manager. Run this AFTER V6. Let it does it's deal. Follow the script and click type I to install when prompted. I said yes to the I/O tweaks with no issues. It says that it may cause boot loops AND it may bork bluetooth...so keep that in mind Fixed! Go ahead and check out the I/O tweaks. But still make a nandroid! NOTE: After an Alpha update you will have to reapply this mod.
3GTurboCharger_Installer_Update_3_RC8.sh.pdf​
-Also .pdf. You can remove the .pdf after the fact, but it doesn't really matter. Drag this to your SD card and then open it with root permissions with Script Manager. Run this AFTER V6. Let it do it's initial intro and then you will see eleven options. I chose experimental 1. But you can choose whichever option you think sounds best. The lower the number the better battery savings(1 being the best, 5 & 6 being the worst). Make a nandroid! NOTE: After an Alpha update you will have to reapply this mod.
I recommend upon installing Script Manager to immediately activate root permissions by going into Menu->Advanced->Config->Browse As Root.
Failsafe:​ Flash this if using the I/O tweaks caused you to boot loop. It shouldn't happen as it has been updated. But this should fix it without you having to use nandroid if anything does go wrong.
All in One Package: Die-Hard​-All three tweaks, the services.jar, AND the failsafe all in one neat package. tweaks and failsafe will be placed on the SD card under folder name "ACS_V6SC". Follow the individual instructions above for the V6 SuperCharger, KickAss Kernelizer, 3G SuperCharger, and KAK failsafe.
The All-In-One DOES NOT WORK WITH AOK-FREAKING-P!!!
Having any issues? While I urge you to search through the thread for your answer if you need help with something post with the kernel, Alpha version, theme(if any), and the steps you took to install and try it. If the mod does not work the first time it could have been a bad download.
Do YOU have a speed mod you would like to contribute? Contact me! Leave a comment! Whatevs.

What exactly is the change you made in this?

Doesn't really help but do notice a small amount of difference. There's still that odd snap scrolling in scrolling through xda

I got the same result when I first installed the zip, but then I let my phone sit for a while as I watched some YouTube videos on my computer and when I began using my Epic, I noticed major improvements. No lag at all now. I've tested the scrolling in the xda app, Twitter feed, Facebook feed, browser, and through all my songs in the music app. Everything is smooth. I'm not sure if this is the mod working or not.

I actually did not create this mod. I'm just sharing it. In fact, I'm not really sure who made it. I saw it in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342047&page=402 post #4014

Huh. I guess I never figured to make a thread for this!
I will make a github page with the changes tonight.
EDIT: Github is acting up like you wouldn't believe. I found the original thread that EB then I pulled this from. So all credit goes to AndroidON. It's incredibly easy to do.

Has anyone tried running the SuperCharger script instead to try and fix the lag? Personally I haven't but I'm curious to know if that may help.

I kinda like the snap scroll tbh. Haven't really seen "lag" in my scrolling yet though, so maybe it's more annoying for those experiencing it.

But to be honest I wasn't experiencing any major lag in the first place. Even with 10 apps open. The scroll mod is for annoying stutters while scrolling.

I already tried to contact sprint about this to clear my voicemail inbox, but instead they got rid of my 3G, so I had to go back to a ei22 rom to reactivate my phone, only to learn that the voicemail never even disappeared even when I asked them to. So how would I go by blocking this stupid voicemail? Ik its small, but it is persistently annoying. I'd rather have it just not show then to actually be fixed at the moment, similar to just turning off voicemail notifications in CM7.

Updated for Alpha 1.

I used super charger with the mod on cm7 with great results, about to try it on cm9. I'll do supercharge first, then add smooth scrolling mod n tell you what Ithink. First let me play with cm9 for a bit to get a feel for it.

again, just in case.

First, yeahhhh, well off to flash, thank-you for keeping us busy
and i have a quick question, did you remove the tethermanager.apk from the rom, that way we can tether with no problems

Looks good so far. Will definitely give this a go. Thanks

I have not looked into that, but if it is under /system/app/ it is gone as I can't find it. If I'm wrong correct me and I will be sure to remove it.

This sounds right up my alley on how I like my ROMs. Definitely gonna try it out. Thank you for your work good sir.

I don't have Rogers myself so I'm not sure how I'd test that, and I'm about to release my update so i'll look into hulu and voice commands, for now you could try side loading and see if it works.

Yeah hulu worked with Seanz hulufied adobe,
i couldn't find a voicecomand that would work well with bluetooth
also if you could add the crysis battery and crysis signals, they just look good, or it could just be personal preference

I'll definitely look into adding the hulu flash player to the rom, as long as when I test it it doesn't have any drawbacks.

def. try it, and if you could also do some theming, if its not too much to ask
