[KERNEL][GB] GingerKernel v08.1 (OC) DOUBLE-TAPPING BUG FIXED!!!

[drewwalton19216801]

Wow, this is great!
A donation is pretty much required at this point.


Also, I'm curious about receiving FM radio (not streaming). I've heard our device has the hardware for it. What are the chances someone will ever get it working, do you guys think is it even possible?

Technically yes, the hardware does support it. But enabling it is a whole other ball of wax. In the meantime you can use apps like iHeartRadio and such to satisfy your FM radio needs.

Edit: Sure anything is possible but we're not totally sure HOW to do it.

Drew -

I cannot believe you fixed the double-tap issue! I was on ZVH for a few days but just could not take the double-tapping going on. Games were unplayable, typing e-mail was annoying, etc.

A voltage spike? Seriously? How does LG miss something like that?
Excellent work, sir!

Not a voltage spike (that would fry the CPU), but a CPU usage spike. But yes it was super annoying. It is indeed surprising that (a) LG missed this bug and (b) Sprint approved the update.

Thanks Drew for your time and effort, as a token of appreciation I donated a few dollars (transaction ID # 8TK147350C5804212)

Thirdly, it is POSSIBLE that the issue with some car chargers not working has been fixed. During the implementation of the double-tapping bugfix, the build failed at a source file that had entries for charging voltage that had indeed been changed since the 2.6.32 kernel series. I have not been able to test this potential fix so it may not be a fix at all.

Fixed it for me! For some reason it doesn't flash the charging icon like it does on the wall charger, but the % slowly increases so it's doing something.

With your work on this kernel you have made this phone at least 100 times better than it was ever expected to be. Thanks so much for your work!

Just installed it on G-Rom 2.1. Cleaned cache and dalvik. Updated the CPU overclock utility while I was at it. So far its working great. I even increased the OC to 786 (or so). No crashes so far.

Thanks to you for continually keeping things up to date and running smoothly! I've noticed since I updated to v8 that my phone now takes longer to charge, has anyone else noticed this? Im also running gRom 2.2.

May have spoken too soon about the charger. Today it's not showing the charging icon anymore, and while the battery% did go up while plugged in, it goes up slowly and got stuck at 80% max.

Mine still charges fully but slowly as well. Not sure why.

I'm aware of the charging weirdness, but I am out of town till the 26th so there isn't anything I can do about it till I get back.

In the meantime those of you having charging issues please post the type (wall/car), model and if possible any specifications of the charger.

 

[ikeywatson]

yeah same issue both with wall & car charger, I'm going to deal with it since my phone will still reads 100%

phone itself is running fine but the charging is super slow, and as of right now it still gets to 100%

With the factory wall charger (LG, output 5.1V @ 0.7A) I get normal charging with the lightning bolt icon flashing.

With my car charger (Jabra, output 5V @ 750mA) I get slower charging with no flashing lightning bolt icon.

Both charge to 100%, but now my battery drains faster.

Wall charger works fine and phone battery usage about the same. Phone is supper smooth with no double taps.
grom 2.1 with gk v08. Cpu set to 786mhz.

Both wall charger and car charge slow. The battery drains pretty quickly. Running Mom rom at default cpu settings.

Well the car charger fix seems to have broken more than it fixed. As soon as I am able to, it will be reverted.
