Please, don't be intimidated by any techy lingo, the second paragraph will have a quick rundown for non devs!
Hey all! @YoshiShaPow and I need a little help selecting the toolchain to use for official releases! Currently, we are using a GNUEABI Linaro toolchain optimized for Cortex A15 processors. But, as shown in a recent test (similar to this one) conducted by Chet Kener (@Cl3Kener), GNUEABI toolchains have worse performance and battery life in comparison to their ARM-EABI counterparts. The tree toolchains that I have compiled are Linaro, and (what I refer to as LinaroMod and SaberNaro) 2 hybrid SM and Linaro toolchains.
What does this mean for you?
I have compiled three toolchains to use for the kernel. We need you to help test the kernels to find what is best for the official releases of the kernel. Below are the requirements for the test (Copied from Chet's toolchain war)
1. You must flash both kernels on the SAME ROM and should spend at least a day on each
(but 2 or 3 days would be best if you can, this is not a quick fight this is all out toolchain war!)
2. You must keep track of battery life as best as possible.
Take screenshots of you SOT, Stand by, voice calls, other apps you think are significant. I will be posting a short questionnaire/survey where I expect you to have some details on battery life. I don't need to see all of your screenshots but you are welcome to post them all here in this community for us to all see.
3. Try and to keep track of performance the best you can
Obviously I don't want you to shy away from benchmarks. By all means run as many of them as you like. I also understand that benchmarks don't always give the whole picture on performance so I'm also looking for you to describe any differences you see between these three kernels. Comparison and contrast are the preferred method. (ie. This one opens camera app faster than that one. This one has smoother scrolling than that one. This one has a more fluid UI than that one. etc.)
4. Look for anything else that is measurable that you can test
Test boot times, test app opening times on large apps like Facebook. Look for operations that cause lag on the kernel and try to reproduce the lag doing the same thing on the other etc.
5 Most importantly have fun and keep track of your observations!
If this isn't going to help make your week more enjoyable don't participate. I'm not trying to ruin your week.

Joe Maples Answer for me .
Porting a kernel isnt like porting a rom, it doesnt work that way. If you can get more people to request it though, Ill make a green machine version for it.

After realizing that I made a mistake by ditching my EVO for the Epic; I returned to the EVO and installed CM6. What a difference! Everything is great so far except for battery life (even using profiles on setCPU) so I was wondering what kernel would provide speed, reliability and battery savings. I'm currently running CM6 kernel and I'm getting around 1250 on quadrant (around the same results of the nexus one with froyo) so I'm happy with the speed so far but I would love some more battery life (I'm getting less than 8 hours with moderate use).
Thanks
What I learn is try a kernel for a day or two. Try another.. you will find one. Not saying do this but this is what I'm doing. Just like finding a rom.. always come back to cm6

Geez, my bad. For some reason I thought I was in the general section.
Can a mod move this thread to the general section? Thanks
Before this gets moved.. all hardware is different. On paper its the same, but what we have learned is that phones respond differently to the software thrown at them. As others suggested, try them out. Snap as well as Kings are excellent kernels. Just find there threads and I can't stress enough to read the op. Most of the questions you have can be found there, as it can be a little cumbersome with all the different versions for some. But yeah, make sure to give it a run for a few days before you decide its not working for you. Your phone needs to get used to it, so basing it off a charge after a few cycles is always a good idea.

Run Snap v7.5 for an increase in speed and battery life.
King's Kernel all the way, and I've tried all the damn Snap kernels.
Mostly, you should be managing your wifi/3g/screen off cpu settings.

I've been using King's #1 kernel after trying (and having issues with) a myriad of Snap kernels. I really like King's and am waiting for #2.
Sup people, id like to introduce myself, I'm a hobbyist 3d artist and graphic designer. "Not so much good at the design part" but for now on im gonna "try" to design wallpapers, lock screens, and Themes optimized for the Nexus 7. I'm not very proficient in coding but I have a friend who both has the nexus 7 and is a semi recognized developer here on XDA. "you probably know him he is the creator of Dandroid" "I actually came up with that name =P"
Here is just a few things I have done "I know not impressive yet" But at least it gives me some credibility to what im saying.

If at all possible since im new here anyone can suggest things that are worth developing for on the nexus 7 id be very grateful.
I know zilch about coding or desinging 3d models but I will say that
a lot of the design work I've seen on here tend to lead toward
embossed, shiny, 3D-like styles. The pictures you posted look pretty decent,
I would like it even more if you had the green in a lighter shade though like
the original androids colour. Anyway this is going a bit off topic but I think it would be interesting to
see how you can merge 3D design skills into things like wallpapers
and lock screens and also into future apps your friend can help you develop.
We have a Themes and Apps subforum for this kind of thing.
Good luck with your wallpapers. And welcome to xda
As you seem to have posted some images already ive moved this thread to themes. If you add more wallpapers to the thread rather than start another it keeps things tidy
Regards
Chris

Thanks and sorry for being such a noob, I always seem to be this way when I enter an unfamiliar "to me" community, ill try to be more aware of things like this.
Anyway Here is some of my other work, I used to be more into Gundam 3d modeling so here is some of my more impressive work that isnt client work. "sorry ahead of time, I haven't enough posts so add links yet".

Ive also made other things like tablet designs and such a while back "This is a pic of when a tablet was unheard of" This is what my vision at the time a tablet should be.

Hi there,
Let me introduce myself for starters. I'm a devoted Nexus & Android user and I'm using XDA for a couple of years now. One of the moderators (/u/rwest05 on Reddit) from this thread gave me permission to post this, so do not consider this as spam
Recently I started to develop my interest for crypto currency. Nowadays I'm involved in the Reddcoin team. Reddcoin is a coin (like bitcoin) mainly focussed on tipping. Reddcoin can be bought or mined using CPU, GPU or the more recent ASIC. Soon Reddcoin will switch to a new self developed system called PosV*. For all technical questions I want to refer to our FAQ* and if I got you attention be sure to also take a look at our website*.
What I'm trying to find out if the XDA community would like to implement (or for starters use) Reddcoin as their main crypto currency. We already have tip bots on Twitch*, Twitter, Reddit and soon IRC (#reddcoin on freenode). Reddcoin also has it's own API*.
So now you guys are wondering. What are the benefits for me in all of this. For starters Reddcoin has it’s own Broadcast* platform. So for instance if any of the XDA devs wants to announce something, they can use our platform for free to have maximum social reach. Second is that people can tip each other Reddcoins as appreciation for their work. And last but not least we have a light Reddcoin Android wallet (also available in the Play Store) that can be included in any custom rom.
Please let me know what you guys think. You can also PM me if you want to get either involved with Reddcoin, mining or both.
Cheers,
Lowww
The Reddcoin team

No problem. Everyone is free to choose
I love the ReddCoin. I also hold many other coins, including Doge.
I created ReddAPI. If you have any questions, you can contact me about the API.
The API has an app competition going on right now.
The Reddit community will be voting on the winner. 1st place gets 5 million coins, that's [130.00] (now its 155 but when the value hits 7 sat, its 180.00) USD today, and hopefully much more later this year.
Big things are coming to ReddCoin. Keep a weather eye on the horizon.

Well, the title says it all. (well, most of it)
Do you think our phone can handle the new android "L" Update? I mean we know the basic sacrifices we have to take to have a newer OS than ICS: No bluetooth head set support...also our CPU doesn't support NEON instructions. Aside from that it runs KitKat amazingly well! I mean its really smooth! I can remember when we first got KitKat on our Cappi. @bubor Compiled Omni ROM 4.4.1. It was so cool but so unstable! But then Came along android 4.4.2 and bubor fixed the tegra 2 support issue.After that leap of faith we now have a very very smooth,stable,and fast KitKat! So enough of me ranting on and on about how far and good our phone is, do you think theres any life and if its worth it to port 'L" when it debuts? Or will the new android "L" 5.0 have new libs so no more ROMs?
Also if you want the new android "L" 5.0 apps see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2796019
-Reserved-
Future post updates
Based on what we know now, I'd say the Cappy will run L. Don't have to worry about system libs as those are compiled from source with the instructions you specify. Main question is what changes in SurfaceFlinger / MediaServer, but based on what we know I don't think there'd be problems. Screencasting might not work, but that's not a big problem I think.
Little nitpick: Those are NEON instructions, not threads.

Thanks changed it
May Take time.
I would love nothing more than to have the latest crispiest android.
but honestly i think that .. THAT will require more developers for our phone.. i mean while i agree that we have a decen no of custom roms.
but i still think that all the pressure is mainly on bubor ... if only we could have more people.
Also i still think that development for the 4.4.x should finish before we continue on to higher upgrades.
there are still alot of bugs and we could certainly use a lil more people contributing to help out...
While i love the idea of a new upgrade i am honestly VERY VERY Satisfied with kitkat it looks good and feels smoother that ever.
while implementation of ART may help . . i think that we have already maxed out our device

Very true, I'm loving the KitKat Roms for our Cappy Glide. I'm personally using ART now with the latest CM 4.4.4 Rom Bubor makes. I'm very thankful that Bubor puts so much work into this old but still useful phone. I'm wanting to become more involved in helping where I can here. I can only do thorough testing though, I don't know how to develop roms or apps... yet. Maybe someday I'll learn.
Hi there,
I am running CM12 (Lollipop) on my HTC Desire HD and was very excited to see it on there
But now I feel like the experience is choppy at best. Yes I can overclock and underclock but I have a couple questions:
a) Is there a typical process that can be halted that would improve the performance of the phone when running CM12?
b) As an older guy, I'm a little old school. I want to see my old phone be zippy and light (ie getting the most out of the old hardware while maintaining fluidity). Is there a ROM that would be considered barebones...I really need the basics:
- phone, messaging
- connectivity/tethering
- camera
- performance tools/features
- decent battery life
I do no real gaming on my phone (simple games at most)...nor do I watch movies other than occasionally pulling up a video on youtube and or review a vid just recorded
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I feel CM12 was cool, but it seems overkill on this dated hardware
Thanks
