Root [KERNEL] Plague Overclock Kernel for LG Esteem MS910 - UPDATED!

Hey pg, I've been digging into kernel guts and found a couple things. Maybe you could compile one more with a few adjustments for testing.

A) too many cpu steppings, it's smooth but not so nice to power. Eg. If I'm using the phone 1.2 is used the most, but rather than go directly to 300 or 600 it takes small steps down, letting lower power steps not be used as often as they could be.

B) try the noop io scheduler by default as it works best for flash memory, and uses less resources.

C) in /proc/sys I'm missing many things vs the stock ROM. If I can get those back it makes it very easy to write new apps that tweak stuff. For example reading or writing values like what the min and max cpu scaling values are, system stats etc..
 
"Download and copy to your sdcard and install with CWM or RZR. No wipes needed."

lol sorry im new to OCing and idk what CWM or RZR is. help? lol btw cpu tuner wont go past 1024 stock

/proc doesnt get touched by any ROM ;)
 
this setting has to be the most stable without any rebooting, freezing, or lagging. i had it on 1.9 but surfing the net or market it would reboot. w/1.7 smooth.

i just downloaded 1.8 plague and when it says copy to sd card does that mean i can put it anywhere in the sd card or do i need to put it in a certain place? Btw i dont have an external sd card, im assuming this works by putting it on the internal sd card too?

You need to put it in the root of the SD card...which is just the main SD card, not in any folders
 
Yes, put it onto EITHER SD Card(Internal OR External)... the WHOLE ZIP Folder. Once in CWM, just select "Install ZIP From Internal SD Card" vs "Choose ZIP From SD Card". It's not a big deal if u accidentally do click on the "Choose ZIP From SD Card" option, you just wont find anything there LoL so you are completely safe there. And sk8r is correct, you don't need to put it into any other folder, just copy and past the whole ZIP Folder. I personally put the ZIPs into a folder called ZIPs because you ARE allowed to search through folders on the SD Cards but thats just because I am neat, tidy and organized HaHa and then immediately delete after installed as long as ij still have a acopy on the computer.

Good thinking...you should see all the ZIP's and APK's filling my SD card up haha

Every phone is different... have had mine on 2016 for HOURS to run AnTuTu and completely forgot to return it back to what I like and no reboots, no overheating issues, nothing.

okay thanks for clarifying. But one last thing, so i do not need to extract the .zip? just throw it in the sd card as in? I have a habit of extracting every zip/rar file i download :P
 
i dont see "install from internal SD"
here are all the options i see:
-reboot system now
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
-power off
-*********Go Back******


edit: nevermind lol i feel stupid. internal sdcard in under "install zip from sdcard" i got it :P
 
2.2? good lord, i need to see this first hand if at all possible that is... nicely done! that's over double stock. that's just wild to me...
 
another noob. i just realize that cuz i updated to zvc, i can't root. can i still OC? if not, can someone tell me how to get back to zvb? bummed that i found out too late. :(
 
yeah i know. i just wanted to know if you have any undervolted ones updated. :o. since i was thinking of trying your version for twice.
hey guys i have a question, i know it's slightly off topic but i didn't want to start a new thread for it lol...

i just turned my phone on with metro and i do not see the 4g on, i only see the 1x... does this mean i do not have 4g in my area? or is there something i need to do to turn the 4g data on? thank you

if you had 4G before then you should be on 4G, lol. unless they are doing some maintenance in your area OR you could not be in metro 4g coverage.

check if your area is 4G covered, otherwise try this to possibly get back your 4G.;
