Eternal Legacy on SGW since before last Christmas:

Here is my long overdue video:



Running on my custom ROM Been working on the kernel of SGW, forgot how much fun I can have if I just play game!

If you have flash into my ROM, simply use this Theme to get ICS:

Added on January 17, 2012, 8:32 pmNOT NORMAL! If stuck for too long, go back to CWM or RZRecovery and nandroid it back to your previous ROM!

---

Added on January 17, 2012, 8:34 pmAik, your guys downloaded the Slim Shady version right? Copied the zip into your internal sd? Use RZ or CWM and select the zip to flash it right?

I done it 100 of times (no kidding, i m testing new ROM)... should work!

Added on January 17, 2012, 8:35 pmCare to explain step by step how you do it? I can help you diagnose it.

Added on January 17, 2012, 8:40 pmHere is some preview of a new ROM:

- Already got rid of TouchWiz, so, this will have new Zeam Launcher, damn light and fast
- With this small launcher, I make Launcher "hard to kill" in memory. It will occupied some memory but many benefit. For example, after playing a big game, when you exit, you no longer have to wait! Launcher is always there! Overall, you will have better responsiveness.
- Many other build.prob tweaks
- Will use this cool ICS theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448394
- Finally managed to compile acro68 kernel no more wifi problem. So, the next big thing, I want to try to modify the kernel to allow OC!!!! This is advance stuff, best to let real developer like acro68 to do it, but while waiting, i will try look into this

Using Slim Shady ROM from this link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5BP4P7GP ?

Previous ROM is 2.3.6 DXLA2?

Check the size of the zip file? Could it be "copy not complete? 241.52 MB?

How much space left in your Internal SD card?

Using CWM or RZRecovery?

Thanks for answering! Will help me diagnose it.

Added on January 17, 2012, 11:49 pmHehe, if not in hurry, wait for my Zeam Slim version, vast improvement But look like Zeam Developer is on long break, no response... his tweeter update is 8 days ago... if still no news, i will consider an alternate launcher.

if you download Shadowgun version 1.03 and newer, you can play with SGW without installing anything extra

Seem like you meet all the requirement and it should work.

Hmm, how about you use CWM to clear your cache and dalvik cache????

If still not working, I recommend you use stock ROM first.

I am cooking something really spicy now.... OC kernel!!!!!!

Wanna test it with my phone now... I hope it will not burn my phone to death.........

flashing custom ROM generally is like reinstall OS, everything is gone

before flashing, you should backup what you need.

Added on January 18, 2012, 4:12 pmmy kernel fail to boot... my kernel code-editing kung-fu is weak! will look into the code again... luckily phone still work

Successfully OC to 1.8ghz But still no word from Zeam Launcher... think I should release the one with TouchWiz?



Attached thumbnail(s)

not really sure about it's stability. so far no crash or anything.. but i have only tested this new kernel for a few hours. Will let your guys know if anything. but i suspect it'll be stable

the impact of battery also have not measure. i hope some tester will tell me after i release this ROM later.

i suspect the impact of battery is not much if you dont do a lot of gaming.

this is because there is CPU governor that control the speed of the CPU. in most idle time, like flipping screen, etc, it will use only minimal speed. Currently, I am still using OnDemand governor, although i heard smartass2 governor is better... may be will change that next time...

in on demand governor, CPU will increase to max speed only on demand. so, if you just call, text, use phone normally, it will not run at max speed.

but if u game a lot, well, i suspect battery will got drained quicker. well, with more power, more heat also... i haven't test the heat part too... hope some testers will let me know.

as of now, this should be the fastest SGW there is

OK, new OC ROM finally released:

err... wait, not ready yet =.="

As long as you have CWM or RZRecovery, you can use my ROM.

I recommend CWM over RZRecovery because it's more stable.

Ohh.. the OC ROM is back up!

ops...

in that case, if anyone wanna try the new ROM, but worry about OC, can try this:

http://www.multiupload.com/44TODYXXQF

Promise... no overclock

Sorry Cliffrison! Don't know what's wrong.

How about you try this new ROM?

Since XDA down, I repost here:

OK, here is V2 of the ROM! Put in so many new stuff I can't count them all, here is the main features as I recall it:

1. Custom OC Kernel! Using base code from acro68. Max freq is now 1.8Ghz!
- *Disclaimer*: OC may break your phone!
- If this is too much for you, use SetCPU or CPU Master to lower it back to 1.5Ghz. OC is very hardware dependant. If you experience crash too often, this is not for you.
- Faster = use more power = more heat = less battery!
- Battery life? Have not test! You tell me!
- OC code was modified and compiled by a friend...

2. Still using OnDemand default CPU Governor. But there is "Interactive" as well. Read here.
- Can change the default in /etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh or use tool.
- *WARNING*: Dont try SmartAssV2! According to acro68, its not tuned for this phone.

3. Larger SD Card cache

4. Disable boot up ani (faster boot up!) and many other tweaks from here (thanks KezraPlanes)

5. GPS.conf changed to point to Malaysian's URL, etc.

6. No more TouchWiz! Using Zeam Launcher! So light and small. Launcher now 'stuck' in memory. Take a bit of memory, but it's small. The benefit, no more waiting even after you just finish a big game. Launcher will just pop up! Please support the developer, rate it in Market, visit his thread and thanks him: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149

7. Too bad I cannot integrate cris555 excellent ICS theme in this ROM. But you are recommended to install by yourself AFTER you do a first boot and go thru the SetupWizard. Please go thank him here.

Get the ROM here: http://www.multiupload.com/7EPWW1GQP0

For non-overclock version: http://www.multiupload.com/44TODYXXQF

u only need to edit that file if you want to change the default CPU governor.

in "GT-I8150"):

echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

can change the ondemand -> interactive

if u want.

LOL sorry! XDA is down at the moment! Hey, nothing wrong with non-root, non-custom ROM SGW. it is still a great phone! post more game video here!

Personally, although I can overclock the phone, I really think there is no need to do so. At current 1.4ghz, it is already capable to run anything in the market

Actually, I am not good with programming. I just use tool to mod other people ROM nia. Not much programming involve!

But android App / game uses both Java and C (or C++) a lot.

Kernel, all C (very little ASM)

Added on January 19, 2012, 4:11 pmSorry, the dock refer to... ? May be later I give some screen shot

Added on January 19, 2012, 4:14 pmSorry, didn't include any terminal, lengthly process to get permission from developers...

You dont need to run that script. it will get executed everytime during boot up. so, by default, it will use "ondemand" as the governor. to change that, simply open that file, and change that to "interactive".

you also can use tool such as CPU Master to set it to "interactive" everytime phone boot up.

Antutu best score: 4381

Been running lotsa benchmark, continously on 1.8ghz, phone didn't crash

Can... u sure u wanna use Interactive ka? in my testing, OnDemand is more stable!

LOL. it was the feature of the ROM. it swap the internal / external sd!

so, /sdcard now will have plenty of space...
