True, there are (tho outdated) threads like [Q] CM7 + Franco's Kernel??? and [Q] MIk + Franco but now this is NOT ONLY A THREAD FOR QUESTIONS.
As I've seen many people asking questions about this combination in one of the ROM/Kernel thread and they can't get answers from experienced users of this combination,
(some in mik's thread dont use franco, some in franco uses devoid only)......
QUESTIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
But make sure yourself is not a noob! if you are, try [READ FIRST] [REF] Dictionary for n00b - What is.../What does ...mean? first
Introduction
Many users have found that this combination is totally cool right?
however there may still be bugs in this combination
because mik_os' ROM is Android 2.3.x Gingerbread
and franco.Kernel is made for Android 2.2 Froyo <<< Yay BFS version for 2.3 is out XD
If you want to ask questions based only on mik_os' rom?
Here: [discussion]LG P500 mik_os's port of cyanogenMOD7, problems, questions, and answers.
If you want to ask questions based only on franco.Kernel?
Here: [Q] franco kernel problem
If you want to ask questions about the fantastic combination?
If you absolutely want to flash and try yourselves, but sometimes would prefer searching in XDA in advance and see what the others' results are?
or if you have tried this combination out, and would like to share to others so they can take your results as references before flashing?
Here, this thread, is what you want.

Main Purpose of This Thread
- To share our results after flashing the combination
- When they update, we update!
- Confirm it if a bug has solved in later versions!!
- Questions are now open! Just make sure you've searched around and not wasting time here
- Only share your results after you confirm the errors are bugs of the combination instead of your own problem
- Also, we can directly answer the problem of a result if you know it is just human error instead of a bug BETWEEN THE COMBINATION!
- All other discussions are totally welcome!

Random shutdowns/reboots!
with the latest v16 franco's kernel cmparts error on boot is gone
overclock settings are applied correctly, no need of setcpu anymore.
well done! there's still just the battery temperature bug though

No random shutdowns in v16 ...
I'm on miks cm 6.5.2 with Franco kernel + zram and 320/748 oc on interactiivex.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
I just flashed this kernel and zram and the quadrant scores at 806 mhz are almost the same scores I get with the original CM 7 kernel. Performance wise I think in games and just regular use it feels a lot more smoother. I just don't see it in the scores.
Heheheh Im now flashing the combination of miks 6.5.4 and franco's v16 BFS version
report to u guys 2 days later!

Ok so hey guys after using the newest combination for about a day ive come up with a detailed report for u
ROM version
6.5.4 Stable
Kernel version
v16.0 BFS for andy and mik
App2SD
Darktremor 2.7.5.2-1
Data2SD
None
Additional information
ZRAM enabled
Stable Overclocking
122/710 SavagedZen
Benchmark scores
Quadrant ~1400
(idk may be i got too many apps lol around 400)
LIST OF BUGS OR UNUSUAL ISSUES DISCOVERED AND COMMENTS
*"pure" = mik's rom + mik's kernel (the one attached with the rom)
- USB debugging icon is missing even it has solved in 6.5.4
- (already found this in older versions of the combination but didnt post) the keyboard sometimes doesnt pop out when necessary and wastes one more click (for me, App Protector Pro password insert page)
- My phone was stable @748 max using this combination but yesterday it panics at 729 and i was like =.=
- Performance boost is not as significant as when i was at 6.5.3 + v15.0 + zram
- (very disappointing) The CPU is not sensitive/reactive as before, even less reactive than pure 6.5.3, so i had to increase the minimum from 122 to 480 (I tested this with SeePU on at 0.5 second interval and scrolling homescreens, launching benchmarks etc.)
- Yea the camera crashes when restoring defaults in recording mode as stated in mik's dev thread
- The phone's temperature is average 39 degree vs pure's 33 degree
- Temperature displays incorrectly (39 degree as 3.9 degree) vs correctly in pure
CONCLUSION
lol mainly because of the insignificant performances boost even zram is on, im back to mik's pure now
good luck to u all and hope these help

It is attached with the zip mik has provided in his dev thread
you have to flash the rom in order to get the attached kernel
for reference, the version of the kernel is displayed 2.6.32.41 on about-phone now
good luck!
ok guyz
i haven't tried 6.5.4 yet coz 6.5.3 working well until now ..
i have 6.5.3+ franco kernel 16 (old one) no zram nothing else
and performance is quit Good bt i think it was more better in Franco 15 kernel ..bt may b its only my thinking coz i analyze when we use data 3g wi fi phone getting heated nt tht much bt u can feel it don;t know..may b its only me feeling bt i have seen some users who already told me about that ..ok then as far as performance concern here check my attachment
battery is nt that bad at normal uses its around 30 hr long

lol yea for me even zram activated there are significant performance regression of v16, could really feel it! i think its probably the "cpu responsiveness" ive mentioned
but well the 15 gives random shuts hate it
thx for ur info
I'm running an updated kernel (haven't released yet) with Andy's 2.3 rom and I find no stutters, no random shutdowns, no panics, no battery drains, no nothing. Just pure performance. BFS does a lot of difference for performance and battery. I'll release this update later today.
Overclock is around 480/768 with interactive or smartass depending on my mood.
Remember something, from 122 to 480 overclock there is no change in battery usage because they all share the same voltage. Actually battery life with 480 should be better as CPU enters idle faster, so more power saving.

Haha franco thx for giving advice in this thread
oh ur tempting me mate thats cool
just a side question do i have to wipe anything except cache, dalvik, battery stats? if i give it a try to swap from mik's to andy's
or do i have to wipe everything and do a complete titanium lol
also why cant i see ppl using or comment about savagedzen? i personally use it idk why
and yeah thanks ive been searching for that for a while but cant find the clue and you answered me directly all my profile mins are 480 now!

After being a long time lurker here in XDA and having successfully fulfilled some requests on another thread, I thought I'd try to give something to the great community here.
You probably remember Ivan's kernels that provided the community with a version of intersectRaven's Hybrid AVS with 1113MHz overclocking. Unfortunately it looks like Ivan been very busy and is unable to update his kernels. So I have provided recent updates of intersectRaven's truly awesome kernels that includes the 1113MHz overclock for you all to enjoy. (I see this request a lot so maybe now intersectRaven won't be bothered by it again )
I absolutely take no creative credit in making these kernels as all I have done is used the open source code on intersectRaven's github and compiled it. The real credit goes to all the other coders here in this forum (cyan, pershoot, and especially intersectRaven).
When time permits, I'll try to update these kernels when improvements and/or bug fixes are made but I realistically only see myself updating these once or twice a week.
I'm open to requests (like no audio boost) and such. Just let me know the one kernel you want modified and if its within my ability, I'll make one for you when time permits. I have not yet made a super all-in-one compiling script, so it would take me far too long to make a requested modification on all versions. Edit: Due to having virtually no free time, I don't think I can get fulfill requests in a timely manner... I'll try but I can't promise it. So sorry everyone -_-;
If you have the time and the will, I highly suggest you learn how to compile for yourself as I find it pretty fun and rewarding to make something for yourself. Guides and instructions can be found throughout the XDA forum and also on Cyanogen's wiki.
Before updating with these kernels, all I ask is that you make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.
Q & A:
-What's the difference between CFS and BFS?
See this short post for the difference between Completely Fair Scheduler and Brain F*** Scheduler. In summery, CFS is better for multitasking, BFS is better for user interactions (keyboard, homescreen swiping, etc).
-What's the difference between SVS and AVS?
Static Voltage Scaling will change the voltage based on a set table created by the kernel maker. Example: At a certain speed, say 245MHz, 925mV is feed into the CPU. At 998MHz, 1225mV is used.
Adaptive Voltage Scaling will change the voltage depending on temperature and CPU needs. Personally, AVS is running rock solid for me but I can't say for sure if it will be for everyone so SVS kernels will continue to be made available.
-What is this "No Audio Boost Version"?
Many of the custom kernels posted in this forum and the kernels used by default in the CM6 roms have this feature where it increases the loudness of the speakers during calls. Its been reported that some bluetooth headsets are overly sensitive to the increased loudness and some have reported that it distorts the audio quality even though volume has been lowered by the user. Due to an overwhelming request to make a kernel without this feature, I have included a separate set with each release that does not boost the volume.
-Can you make a higher overclock version of your kernel?
I was really against this because when I first tried to do this, my phone got really hot. But the requests kept on coming so I revisted this and possibly discovered a way to keep the temperature under control by limiting the max voltage to 1300mV. You'll find a 1190MHz version of my kernel here (Mirror Link).. Most users should be able to handle 1152MHz without any problems but some won't on 1190MHz. You'll know when your CPU can't handle a certain speed if you start to experience a sudden decrease in performance, lag, force closes, and spontaneous reboots. This won't be alievated unless more voltage is feed to the CPU but I'm not comfortable going beyond 1300mV. Now before you try these kernels out I gotta say this. I am not responsible if these kernels result in damaging your phone. Its purely for testing purposes and I really dont recommend using it as your everyday use kernel. If you do continue to use it, you should limit the max to 1113MHz or better yet 1075MHz (see previous question for the reason) if you care about battery life.
-I'm getting a black screen whenever I launch the camera app. Why? (720p related question)
The latest kernels with the 720p code only works with roms that has the 720p stock camera app and now the HTC camera app on Enomther's [ROM] as of 8/10/10. The latest cm6 nightly that has the 720p camera app as well as a few other roms out there that are based on cm6. You can try flashing charnsingh_online zip that contains the updated camera app if you don't want to use the nightly but I don't know for sure if his camera app is compatible with roms under RC2. Another alternative is to send in a request for a custom kernel and I'll make one for you without the 720p code.

Have these kernels been tried and tested? Does the following work:
- Youtube
- Camcorder
- Googles
- Flash
- Unmounting sd card
- Wifi locations
and can you tell us more about the battery life by using this kernel?
p.s. Thanks for posting this btw...
- Youtube Works
- Camcorder works
- Flash works
- sd card problem persists on the .34
- wifi works
EDIT:
I LOVE this kernel! THX wildmonkey ^^
i testet the .34 on both 2.2 and 2.1.... works so far!

just got my nexus one so you could say i'm kinda new to this^^
just wondering what the difference between CFS and BFS kernels are? and what are the pros and cons with 800 / 925 mV kernels?
i am running rooted stock froyo atm, so all i need to do is install a .34 kernel through recovory if i am right? do kernel installs requier a wipe?
thx

I am running CM5.0.7.1 and I would love to have a kernel that did not include the audio hack, I have a feeling that everyone must be deaf because this thing sounds real bad at higher volumes ever since the audio hack was implemented. I get so much distortion in-calls that I have to turn the volume down to a level that negates any audio boost - so what is the point?
So.. yeah, if you are taking specific requests:
1. Stock speeds (or OC if it has to be, I can control that).
2. 925mV.
3. CFS (though I haven't messed with BFS since CM4.xx days on my G1, I still think it has a long way to go).
4. No audio hack.
Seems perfect to me.

Just flashed it...camcorder, video playback, youtube and WIFI works as normal.
Brilliant kernel in terms of performance, as speedy as preshoots...
Linpack scores varies from 40-44 mflops
Quadrant score is a hefty 1495...
Now, im gonna test the battery life tonight...

when you say "test battery life tonight" does that mean you are going to leave the phone over night and see how much battery is consumed in standby or are you actually going to use the device?

Im gonna charge it to 100% then leave it whilst I sleep...Tommorow im gonna im actually gonna use it
from my own usage since installing Froyo here is what I have found from testing various kernels (Unplugged at 7am)
- Froyo Kernel: Lasted till 10pm ish (Display on > 3 hrs)
- Preshoot 33.4 kernel: lasted me till 3pm ish (Display on approx 2 hrs)
P.s:
Tested on quadrant again and I got a whopping 1668...thats the highest ive seen my phone do...

Here yah go:
2.6.33.5_AVS-925mV_CFS_NoAudBoost_v2_060210.zip
I think all those years of listening to loud music has affected my hearing so I need the audio boost
I tested it out and it seems audio levels are back to standard (noticeably lower) but let me know if it doesn't work or if there are any other problems with it.
Update: Doh! I found a bug that I introduced into this no audio boost version. Seems that I broke music playback O_O. I fixed it and updated the above link. Sorry to those that download the other version -_- . . .
Audioboost is so necessary, i cant use any kernels without!

Interesting observation you all are getting. Must be the combination of BFS and OC? But I would not be surprised if battery life suffers a little... But very cool nonetheless
I have made a lot of searches and read a lot about battery calibration... and of course i know what the hell is kernel panic, its definition and its symptoms.
However I still have some confusions and I hope some of you may be able to solve them
Maybe some of them are noobie questions but I honestly sorry for that also this may help others who has these confusions too

on 5/9 I have flashed franco.Kernel v19.4 bfs and then started a lot of OC tests,
finally I was stable on stress test (SetCPU) 729mhz for 2 hours non-stop,
and also I used the phone stably for over 24 hours without reboot.
However I faced a problem which is related to Darktremor scripts.
I used 2 weeks to solve it and finally it is gone now.
I started battery calibration which is the final process before I use my phone normally in my daily lives.
But in these two days, my kernel panics after ~4 hours of usage of 729mhz max CPU frequency.
without the need of advice, surely i have downclocked to 710mhz max and its all good. but however i am super curious about why 729 becomes from stable to unstable before and after.
1) Does battery stats related to kernel panics in ANY extent? if yes, how?
Ignore all questions under 1 if the answer is No.
1.1) Does wiping battery stats before flashing a kernel helps you OC higher?
1.2) Does wiping battery stats before flashing a ROM helps you OC higher?
1.3) Does wiping battery stats (for calibration purposes) has possibilities to produce kernel panics?
2) Why is there a sudden drop of battery level (~4-5%) after kernel panics?
3) Is there any other possible causes of kernel panics BESIDES overclocking too high?
3.1) *2sd scripts?
3.2) ext4 barrier = 0?
3.3) inputting EXT4 data writeback?
(tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2)
4) Is SetCPU the problem?
Some says "dont use SetCPU when you can overclock using CM7 settings."
Is that true?
5) BESIDES the max speed, does it also depends on Governors?
Ignore powersave governor or others which forces the clock to the minimum frequencies.
So, is there any difference between setting the same maximum speed, different governors?
(for example) Would smartass gives a panic at 729mhz but ondemand doesnt?
6) Does the "change of frequencies" gives easier kernel panics?
Situation A: 729min, 729 max
Situation B: 480min, 729max
In situation B, the system makes the frequencies change due to load, means it may switch from 480 -> 600 -> 729 -> 710 -> 691 -> 480 etc.
so does this "change of frequencies" makes the kernel loads more and finally gets it to panic?
Thanks for your time reading and answering my questions!
Please just quote one of them if you would just like to answer one of the above
Thank you very much!
1) no.
2) It happens when u remove the battery and put it back.
3) There are some strange reports of kernel panic at 600Mhz which are weird. Sometimes Roms/kernel play a part(unknown).
4) it is because you can overclock in Cm7 settings menu, so no need to install another app such as SetCpu
5) Maybe, a governor who stays more on the highest frequencies i think are easy to panic because hardware can't handle it.
6) for me, i would say situation A would be easier to kernel panic, as it is constantly on the highest frequency and stressing your cpu too much that it can't handle it.
Since you get stable at 729mhz for 2h and panicked when 4h of use, that means the cpu can't handle 729mhz for above 4h.
@terratrix
thanks for your reply!! at least im not using my stupidity to wipe battery stats and trying to avoid kernel panics, lol.
@info update and conclusion after 1 more day of testing
And there, after some readings on the forum and the experiences myself, i think i have found the critical point already - QUESTION NO.5
Conclusion : kernel panics are related to governors, at least, our new amazing profiled one - SmartassV2!!
On the thread of Franco's .35 v1 kernel, there are some users reporting the panic issues faced with ONLY SmartassV2.
And me myself, has joined the party as well
Smartass(v1) has been my best bud all the time at 729mhz or even higher for more than 6 months. And when I left it and went to choose his next generation, my phone got a generation gap with Mr.V2, lol.
On my phone: (Franco.kernel 19.4bfs and no any reflash or stuffs between testings)
SmartassV2 ---
very unstable panics AND random shutdowns at random times
729mhz - sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 4 hours
710mhz - yeah I justnow kernel paniced with this also, you know how long after boot? 30minutes!!!
Why 30minutes? I suspect that it.is related to franco's network speed hack. I'm on EDGE data plan and because of Franco, I can enable HSDPA with 4x more speed.
On 710mhz, my phone was stable for over 8 hours with EDGE on (I intended to save battery), but after a reboot (manual one for some other purposes) I started to use (the hacked) HSDPA. After 30 minutes, panic. I remembered when I was at 729 on smartassv2 I panicked after 3 hours and at that time I was using HSDPA too.
Smartass (v1) ---
Well now I'm on smartass v1 at 729mhz stably typing this message. Funny huh...?
Results:
Franco's network speed hack
OR
3G network/HSDPA network
OR
Even just because of specific phone hardwares
IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE ALMIGHTY SMARTASS-V2 GOVERNOR AND WOULD RESULT IN KERNEL PANICS AT THE FREQUENCIES WHERE THE PHONE CAN BE STABLE WITH OTHER COMMON GOVERNORS.
If I am wrong or you can confirm this by testing yourself, please let me know!!! thanks and hope I have provided some useful information
Goodnight and I'm going to continue working with my old friend smartass-v1 despite v2 has better profiling tweaks, lol

Dude, as i had mentioned earlier in franco's thread, that it had to do with the governors... cause i usually try and find out the cause of the issue myself before posting a bug..
SO all i tried were playing around with the performance settings... and i start off with changing the governors... the best targeted experimental ones are MINMAX (my personal fav), SMARTASS, SMOOTHASS (now removed but one AWESOME governor), and INTERACTIVE-X (rewritten by franco i guess).... About the frequencies... from what i have observed so far apart from reading stuffs is that, at 729 Mhz our optimus DOES pretty much stay stable even in the ****TIEST devices.. LOL i can say that cause we indians get the crappiest hardware of all... the point is... if you got a kernel panic at 729, it is most likely that you would get it again at 600 Mhz too cause its not overclock related..!!!
Bottom-line: Avoid SmartassV2 unless your phone is made of the finest hardware i.e. you can easily overclock it to 806 Mhz (ive seen some users using it at this frequency without any issues at all .. :O ) Use Smartass older or Minmax instead...!! And avoid overclocking above 729..!!!
P.s.: mine works fine even at 768 BTW....
We have to wait for Franco's next release for more smartass2 updates
Sent from my LG-P500
SmartassV2 is kind of strange, at least in my phone. I notice my battery draining faster while I use it, and it's probably because it stays in the max frequency longer for some reason, despite screen off. I use NoFrills for my CPU setting and it has the ability to view stats, and when I'm using V2 it stays longer at the max than at the min (65 vs 35%). The opposite is true for Smartass v1, which to me makes more sense because my phone stays at standby more often than being used.
As comparison data, my phone with smartass v1 can typically be OCed up to 787 MHz. 748 MHz on v2 is stable, but I haven't extensively tested higher freqs.
I have a Indian phone , smartass v2 oc to 768 stable xD

Hi there
As I cant post on the SPARTAN ROM thread I´ll post my own experience with it
I´m going with the running specs:
- Rootet
- CWM for mini/mini pro/active
- Unlocked bootloader
- Custom stock OC
- Spartan Rom 1.4
Everything works like a charm. I went on trying ANTUTU BENCHMARK with stock rom/kernel getting 3004 points and moved to 4715 with SPARTAN ROM 1.4. The 1.3.5 Rom went only to 4500 ish points.
So there is a slightly increase in speed in the [V6] script. So keep going on with the development spartan lad.
I will for sure use this one. Hope in the future to be able to use custom themes, launchers and even maybe resolution (cant get why I cant play HD on the TINTIN game).
Greetings again ;-)
Running tests
Test using:
- Overclocked kernel with V6 9 script RC4
- V6 scripted SPARTAN ROM 1.4
- Rootet and CWM
- MiniSD with class 6 read
- Overclocked to 1,9 (performance and noop)
Its a shame the ACTIVE hasnt got a bigger screen
Almost 4800?
Normally I´m running daily basis at 122/1024 and Noop I/O Scheduler.
This ROM runs best using the SIO I/O Scheduler regardless of what I´ve read about it.
So testing and Overclocking for hours I´ve got this score using:
- Overclockable kernel
- Spartan ROM 1.5.1 with V6 Script v8 (revertet and re-applied)
- SD boost set to 2048
- VM darvik set to 48.
- Overclocked to 1,9 Ghz and with performance as guvernor and SIO schedule
- Minor tweaks
Thats on the fast part. I cant seem to go up to 2 Ghz. I did leave in the freezer for some minutes without random crash or reboot. So Im planning to leave it for about 1 hour and run a test again. Think it can reach 4900 on antutu and might reach the 5000 mark.
Also After running the Stability Test v 2.3 for hours the mobile reaches 50 degree celsius. Cant be healthy for the phone.
Havent finded so many bugs in this build mainly because its the stock rom somehow.
Give it a try. I could do wish the no background theme and black theme. Call it spartan? Go spartan all the way.
4800 hit
Well did hit the 4800 marker. Dont think we´ll never reach the 5000 marker unless we see a new script or tweakable kernel going far beyond 2 Ghz. Doomlord?
step by step
almost there to reach the 5000 points.
so close
almost hitting 5000. god knows what in trying to prove . but sure its stable all the way. can do say and recommend this build. nice work dumraden ;-)
well using uncap fps improved things here. not even a Samsung S2 beats this timings.
do Sony know what they've build? will try 2 GHz tomorrow.

What is the Best Kernel for CM7 Nightlies
Hey guys you can post here what's the best kernel you guys have tried to your nightly CM7 rom, you may explain why.. and share you overclocking settings..
Is kernel XXXX good in performance and have good battery life?
If you dont experience black screens or other probs, you may share it to everyone who reads and visit this thread.
I think stock CM kernel with 122-729(interactive) mhz is the best.. but only bad thing is the camflick bug with OC, though the phone is working very smoothly even on 600 mhz.. Please suggest what governer should I use for best battery ?

Im using stock CM7 N20.. governor interactive @ 480-729
overnight sleep for about 8hrs.. my battery only drained 2%

there's no point in using another kernel with cm7 nightlies than the stock one...
btw you can you fserve's kernel for a good battery life...

Yes it was great.. but i noticed that ever i turn screen on, vertical lines appear before the lock screen.. i haven't encountered this on stock kernel.
Tried Franco's kernel to boost Fruit Ninja's performance. Didn't notice any difference, and got the unfortunate side effect of having my phone not coming back from sleep mode. Buttons would light up but the screen was dark. It would randomly come back up if I kept trying.
So far, CM7 kernel is good enough. Maybe it's just the P500 that isn't supposed to run games flawlessly.

same here ..i had that prob too with franco's ..looks like black screen
am using franco's kernel, the october version...its good, but the camera(stock) doesnt work, but 3rd party apps like lg camera, 360, etc..works just fine and yeah black screen bug i got it too, but disabling both screen off and on animation is okey, you just have to wait atleast 3 secs when unlocking, overall its okey still the best kernel and you can live with it.. by the way am using nightly no.16 and oc at max 672 and min 480 with interactiveX gov..i got 2days of normal usage, virtually no drain at standby, am just using gsm(2g checked) a little wifi, i think a total of 4hours, texting, few calls..and i dont play games since its battery hogger am glad to share mine
[KERNEL][GINGERBREAD]ta-gb-1.0 (28/01/2012)
I am using [KERNEL][GINGERBREAD]ta-gb-1.0 (28/01/2012) on nightly 20. I have no random reboots on receiving incoming calls.
Battery life is goo. I am on smartassv2 480/600. only problem is that camera flickers but snaps are okay.
good to here that.. but for me i think it would be great if some one who knows to modify the stock cm7 kernel.. like adding new governors like smartassV2 and interactiveX ..and give it a little tweaks.. it would be perfect then
Have been using Stock kernel from nightly #5 through to current run of nightly #31 I set O/C at 245/729 with ondemand and as long as my daughter doesn't get my phone and play games have had battery life up to 3 days. I leave wifi, data, gps disabled at all times unless I want to use them and I set screen at 0 bright indoors and set to 25% outside.
Adding the brightness controls and Data controls to the status bar makes it far easier to save battery by having the quick on/off button there. Funnily anyone that has used Stock 2.3.3 will tell you LG themselves implemented that too.
If anyone can get lupohirps Kernel from his ICS port to work on CM7 Nightly it has got SmartassV2 and a few other governors in it.

Why? His kernel is just for testing for blackscreen bug, which is fixed in CM kernels. And in his kernel wifi is not working and other things are basically stock(no modification)

Fserve kernels are just stock lg kernels .modified for testing purpose ONLY.. no OC at all.. and had some bugs. Since those are unfinished work.
Heard that ta-gb drains battery like hell 4 some guys...
Wait for better franco 3.0 kernel...
Stick to cm7-default

Are you a ParanoidAndroid user on P500?
Welcome to the Discussion thread, here you shall ask all the general questions/ queries/ problems related to this specific ROM.
The development thread isn't meant for asking questions on HOW-TO, its meant to report serious bugs and should be used if you are ready to help in the development.
This thread is only for Bytecode's build from source ROMs based on Android 4.1.2 JellyBean.
Downloads can be found here.
Have any questions? Shoot! I will and others also who are aware of your answers shall try and help you
Until then I will upload some F.A.Q. to the post #2
:Reserved:
I was wondering about the picture quality taken with the camera.

Its the exact same as ICS
Have tried to flash ICS and JB ROMs (lupohirp, hephappy, Arjen, Adfad666. laz3r96, Rashed , incl. Bytecode's PA v2.2. and 2.52) on LG P500, however the device with all those ROMs failed to be detected as USB modem by Linux machine. It's not happened with openOptimus GB ROM (franco kernel), where p 500 is detected as USB modem out of the box. I think its related with how the kernel is configured (ppp and setserial). Unfortunately, I'm incapable to compile android kernel myself, but linux. I tried flash both DJNoXD and thachtunganh's kernel, but failed, while franco kernel just for GB!
Have anyone experienced such issue and how to fix it? Which kernel you used it? Really, I'm very much expecting to use ICS/JB p500 as usb modem (not usb tethering!). Well no need to buy a new USB GSM Modem
Any help is highly appreciated

Same here. I remember having Rashed's build with Performance CPU governor but now I had to change to SmartAssV2 since, for some reason I can't identify yet (even looking at BetterBatteryStats) the phone stays awake much longer than before, which means more time at higher CPU speed. With Wifi the battery will drain in just a few hours... In those weekends at home I can't leave it with wifi on. Do any of you guys have a good battery experience?

The battery life is pretty good with this ROM but YES! some minor tweak here and there are still required and Bytecode is already aware of that :highfive:
Secondly, never compare battery life with higher CPU frequencies. Bugs are excepted only at maximum freq. set to 600MHz. Higher frequencies suck battery life sometimes and you should choose an apt governor, performance is not good for battery.
Thirdly, make sure you have uninstalled all the apps you have installed before reporting anything. Background apps like facebook, maps, IMs etc acquire a lot of RAM which equates on using more battery life.
Lastly, try to keep "sync" switched off when you don't need it, provides you with some extra battery life.
Remember this, you are running Jelly Bean on a low end device, bugs and problems are expected, all you have to do is to cope and choose the right ROM according to your requirements :angel:

I changed now for max 600 and expect to have a slight gain in battery life. On the background apps do you use any alternatives? As for now I can only increase the time interval for sync on FB. I dont use IMs although I have google+. I have no replacement for facebook or maps.

Yes but this may be a bug here. My wifi does not turn off when the phone is idle/asleep. Wifi stays on and that burns battery too. Last rom I had before this was cm7.2 nightly I think and yea, it turned my wifi off after so long. Is there a way to make it time out after like a minute of idle?

Superpower will let one set up stuff like this. There may be other small apps just for wifi and gs data shutdown as well.
Thanks for the tips guys. I also set the cpu so it can down clock as far as it can. That way when its idle it uses less power too. No need to sit at 300mhz when its not being used. And I switched the governor to conservative. Not sure which governor is best for balanced power usage.

You are using the right governor, stick to it.
Things have been soooo quiet in paranoid-land lately, hiding out I guess
2.54? Mic-fix?
I noticed that build.prop is set for ... triple buffering. Is this nonsense or is this actually implemented? Vsync is disabled and likely kernel mods are needed to use that.
The 4.2 buzz:
There is no room for that keyboard on system but I have swype anyway. I actually installed the 4.2 KB as a user-app but it fc'd. Did not have the libs so that might have been the problem (the first apks, zips that listed were missing some pieces). Could try it again, properly, but nothing really compelling here. Google is playing catch-up with this one.
I have the gallery installed along with its three libs/jni's. Camera crashes the gallery and hides the dialog with an artifact--tapping there will dismiss normally. The new photo edit functions will sometimes work, more usually simply blink and disappear. The legacy-camera still works independently so no harm in keeping this around (but I suspect it might be causing lagginess elsewhere!). For the photosphere capability, a modded camera version will need to use the compass/magnetometer instead of the gyroscope--I do not think we have one.
Put on the new Play and gmscore (which was with the gallery/camera zip!). Works like the older one, see no changes. I do not use gmail app but this new one has impressive improvements--worth a try if one makes use of it.
Clock looks interesting, might play with that tomorrow, but users of more advanced handsets have had fc's with it.
In all, there are 175 meg work of gapps. Do not dare attempt to flash this. Like no room for any of it. Extract items one wants to try and install as user apps. Specific libs and be pushed to /system/lib. However, all those jni's are likely not opensource and may be compiled for ARMv7 rendering them useless for our phones. No harm trying them out.
More 4.2 Buzz:
Put on the clock. Not very pretty but nice new functionality. I replaced with the blue version on the 4.2 goodies thread, a bit nicer. This widget could use some visual design improvement. Layout of world-clock functions (and others as well) is too large but we have the means to fix that, huh!
New Maps and StreetView. Maps has little more pizzazz. Problem I encountered was continued GPS activity after closing it, attempting to toggle on the status bar caused a reboot. I had not rebooted after updating the apps so might be my fault. See if problem repeats. (I have been having problems with the status bar lately and I suspect memory problems or other caused by the Gallery.) That the new streetview works without a hitch would indicate that the Camera/Gallery problems are not ARMv6 related.
Google TTS has no "certificate" so could not simply reinstall. I have this as a user APP from before but might have achieved this manually (I do really believe I saw it once installable from Play!) like I did for a transparent-modded GenieWidget found on XDA. I leave this one for now.
I placed the ThinkFree doc viewer instead of the Kingsoft Office which I had uninstalled before flashing this ROM (since these larger-dexed apps need to be uninstalled before reflash). I'll decide which to use later on--editing docs on this device does not seem too practical so the viewer, which works really nicely, might stay.
