FreeKernel Feedback (Bootloader bypass) UPDATE:VIDEO

Please post all feedback/comments to do with the FreeKernel here
DO NOT SPAM THE BOOTLOADER CRACKING THREAD, IT IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY.

We are able to boot custom kernels now!
Anyway... this is the first release of the fully working custom kernel (flashable via xRecovery). I haven't had much time to work on it so it's kind of proof-of-concept. Tested for 48h without any problem (not even a reboot).
FreeKernel-alpha1:
http://www.mediafire.com/?d8v914keiqsmc3n
This is the alpha version of custom 2.6.29 kernel based on the SE sources. I do not plan to work on this release anymore - it is just for testing purpose. From today on I'll start to port SE stuff to the latest (GBread) kernel.
Changes:
- removed 32 fps cap
- implemented netfilter (Droid wall, native USB/wifi tethering etc.)
- undervolted to 0.950mV to save battery
- don't remember what else I did, I bet something nasty
- super ugly boot logo!
Requirements:
- baseband .52 + the relevant kernel
- clean 2.1 ROM, compatibile with .52 baseband (e.g. .504)
- working xRecovery
Please note I am not responsible for any damage this software may cause to your device! Use it at your own risk!
There is absolutely no support for this alpha release!​

So, if you want to test this new kernel, please keep in mind it is only compatible with stock 2.1 firmwares (.504 and above) that are compatible with baseband 52.
It is only for testing purposes, and any feedback for this alpha kernel is purely for the benefit of others, Z is not and will not be supporting this version, do not expect it to be ready for daily use!
Please post your results and how you get on with the kernel.

does anyone know how to embed it?
I tested the kernel on baseband .46 on TripNMIUI 0.3.2, and the removal of the FPS cap is incredible, the phone is so much smoother and fluid it is unbelievable - it is like having a new phone. I noticed the screen feels a lot more responsive aswell!.
Obviously it is not at all compatible with the ROM, there is no radio and there are frequent reboots, but just a taster in terms of things to come
Apologies for the poor video, but I think its enough to get the general gist of the smoothness

Tried custom kernel just for kicks on trips miui 3.2...bb 54 and up super unstable no network/wifi tons of reboots....
bb 52 and bb49 no network but wifi IS working no sd card mount though
gonna test other roms aswell....

For install custom kernel to be need xrec by Z not from flashtool.
All works, clean install bb 2.0.46 and 2.0.A.0.504.
Dont problems.
I done back to my custom rom way xrec and flashed the patch bb.49, nothing problem.
cheers

this will not work on bb .46 i have tried and failed. no network at all. have tried on several roms... only eternity roms are working on this kernel on bb .52....
supposedly it is suppose to work with bb .49 have not tested on this bb so i cant say for sure.
guaranteed on .52 build 504...
results on quadrant show fps cap has been removed.
overclock is not possible but undervolting is
colors have not yet changed but should upon release of other custom kernels

Can I brick my x10 with this or only bootloop it (because bootloop is fixable with SEUS)

will this work with freex10 and can anyone give me a link to the main thread where zdhihu posted this? i can't find it. thanks.

You can't brick it as you only flash some files to the system, and you should still be able to access xrecovery if it bootloops

THIS IS ONLY USABLE WITH STOCK 2.1 ON. 52 BASEBAND!!!
This is a test kernel not meant as anything more than a proof of concept. There is absolutely no reason to flash this unless you are personally working on making your own custom kernels. This kernel is not even an alpha release, it will never be developed or supported. If you choose to flash it just to toy around don't whine about functionality.
When custom kernels are available anything the hardware is capable of and drivers can be written for will be possible. Everyone needs to calm down and quit asking the same questions over and over.

No. Z posted it in the bootloader cracking thread. This is only meant for stock 2.1 FW on. 49-.52 BB and is not functional for daily use. This is only meant as a test if you want a stable new kernel its still going to take a little while.

It won't work with any ROM 100% - its just designed for testing, you won't be able to use it for daily use yet.
If you just want to try it out, its possible it will boot up on freex10 and you will see the effects of not having a FPS cap - but it is unlikely the majority of things will work, like radio etc. as it is meant for stock 2.1 roms.
If you do want to try it, make a backup on xrecovery first

I dont know what you have xD
What do you mean with "its not ready for dayly use" ?
I use it now since yesterday afternoon and everything works perfect!
I had no random reboots and everything is very smooth!
My Battery lost 1 % with stable 1 Ghz (playing around and testing).
So not be scared! flash it!

As in its only supported by the stock 2.1 ROM, and if you run into any problems with it, its not being supported so you won't get a fix

so for example if i install this kernel on my freex10, how can i remove it later if i have problems with it?

Create a backup on xrecovery before installing it, and then when you need to go back just restore it

Hey . Is this really working cos owain in ours minipro forums said its only first april joke, and we cant yet load custom kernel. Is there any difference between x10 bootloader and minis ??? How long it will take to do a fully working roms , softs to ours xperias ???

@ Whitecookie:
Do you use the .504 2.1 ROM?
Does someone if it works with 2.0.2 (the ROM which Eminence V1.2 is based on) works 100% with this kernel?

Woah! Para sa mga pinoy!
Although there are not much unique features on our phone, AFAIK it is an international version with Asian firmware, I think this thread will be useful in helping out other pinoys specially those who are new. And also will keep them informed about the current and upcoming trends in PHP.
First question, anong latest version ng stock firmware jan? (I converted my phone's product code from GLB to XEU) Does Globe has plan to keep it updated?

Latest stock F/W is still froyo... gingerbread is still not here in philippines... globe doesnot really support... they dont even know about it... i run rooted... plus we have just been introduce to android so i dont think that they have any idea about it... im on XEE just to run gingerbread on phone..
enjoy flashing...cheers....

Ahaha i know the company that customized the firmware specifically for Globe. Goodluck and happy flashing!

best support is from Greenhills Tiangge

It's a little late, but I'm still feeling a lot of TPC'ers are going to jump here. Welcome

Not yet late with all the build going around... its always fresh.. plus we are here to support... DAMAYAN.....

CM7 is not particularly newbie friendly. Darky's ROM is probably the most popular here. You can just change the themes by looking at the themes section afterwards.

Wolfbreak's 2.2, K010 kernel.

Taking photos in higher resolution than vga does now work?!

I think this will be the first custom kernel I will use. Now i just gotta figure out how to flash this.

Restoring backup of previous ROM. Even with patch I can't get wifi to work with CM Froyo of WolfBreak... Damnit, ROM was soo smooth and that stupid wifi didn't work.

I just wish there was a kind soul to tell me how to install Custom Kernel K10 on Wolf's ROM with Baseband 58.

hmmmm wolfbreaks rom works on .54/.55/.58 right??
In this case you'd need to flash a baseband patch (the cm6.52 one) and then the custom kernel

I am still running a tweaked 2.1, but without the tools created by our wonderful dev's here I would still be feeling like i was robbed by SE.
Mr Rusch Gave me the ability to push framework so i could have a circle... sounds dumb and simple - and my wife still cannot understand why i am so happy with such simple MODs!!
Binary & Androxyde gave me Flashtool. snm, i am free to make as many mistakes as i know i will, safe in the knowledge i can flash a 2.1 anytime.
Z, legend, gave me recovery. now i can save my progress in the effort to make my x10 Xceptional.
Many others here deserve recognition, RoseRed, OmegaRed, DoomLord, X10iUser (my first line of help over @ AF) MyImmortal, PlayGunsta, Flo95.........................
Too many to mention, thanks all - I have learnt a great deal and contributed where i can, i am grateful for your time, skill and patience - and we all know you need lots of it, as we were all new once!!!! BOOKAI - you lot RULE

can someone write the procedure how to instal wolf rom with custom kernel on the bb 52 ?

From tot31:
1. Fresh install the stock rom with SEUS.
2. Root & install xrecovery using flashtool.
4. Flash the X10_52_ChangeBaseband.ftf using flashtool.
5. Reboot into recovery and wipe everything.
6. Install CM_6.1.3_[v006].zip.
7. Install CMFix_v6_v61.zip.
8. Install bb patch cm5bb49.zip.
9. Install 2.6.29.6 FX k010 froyo FXR busybox in xbin v06.zip (get it on the first page of WB's thread.
10. Reboot.

[Q] Which ROM would you recommend?

Hello,
I am trying to flash a better ROM for my sister's Galaxy 3, currently the one came with the phone is super laggy and slow. I am coming from the X10 Mini Pro forum, and we only have like 3 custom ROM there, but it seems Galaxy 3 have quite a lot more choices...
I am wondering which one is the currently most stable ROM here that have the lag issue fixed? I flash my X10 quite often, but i don't plan on flash and re-flash my sister's phone. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

i would recommend jpm+jit enabled.....
i am cureently using the same....and i am quite happy with it....

I am a advance user, like i said, i flash my X10 pretty much every time the xda developer come out with a hotfix or a newer version of their ROM, the current ROM that i am running on my X10 have stuff like hybrid Foyo/Gingerbread, overclock, undervolt, jit etc. Is not 100% stable, and i need to force close some stuff once in a while, but i have no problem with it.
I don't mind flashing a custom ROM, as long as one of its release is stable (since this will be for my sister's phone, which is a noob).
However, won't the "stock XXJPM or JPN" still have the lag issue though? I thought all the OEM ROM have the lag issue?

hmm... i really tought it was stable... then you can make your own custom rom via Team Lambent Corrosion kitchen and if you want ROM without problems, a "buggless beast" then dont flash any ROMs

I suggest it too, it has Fugumod, the latest firmware and some bug fixes...

Shouldn't you be plugging your own ROM?
That aside, I think stock JPM will do her a treat. Or then deodexed + JIT + Fugutweaks. The camera is an issue pretty much in every rom and it can be avoided by disabling the location stuff. Or it could be someone has a fixed Camera.apk laying around somewhere. If so, let me know, I want it.

no i was thinking that destiny might be the most stable ROM here and thats why i suggested it and as i said EVERY rom has bugs but i tought destiny didnt... and people should just try GreenMods ROM i dont want to say its the best, i know when people test it they will love it i dont have to recommend it

Hum.. i know X10 Mini Pro's ROM has Camera.apk that came with it, and works, but i prefer the Sony Ericsson's SECMCamera.apk instead. So i swapped it out. I wonder if that Camera.apk would work on Galaxy 3...
I think i will try to download and gather up the above mentioned 2 ROMs, and try it out this weekend then...

recommend a rom

after becoming fustrated with the lack of a update for north/latin america, ive decided to flash my phone. Im currently on jh2 and its working really well without problems. Ive download jpm to flash but not sure if it will work as its a european rom and also been hearing recently it has a few bugs like the battery showing an incorrect percentage.
So can any1 tell me if it will work/recommend me one that will.

Well i can tell you one thing - you will be getting lots of advises !
However, first you might try the latest Canadian Firmware which was released last week since that seems to be the closest stock ROM you can get for North America
P.S. - You might check THIS THREAD too...

That jpm bug is real i think

I've installed indroid 4.2 and it's a really nice rom. The only thing until now that's not working is the gps. It takes really long time to get a fix. And when i get a fix, my google navigation crashes. In indroid 3 it was working perfectly.

Thanks for all the responses guys. As this is my first time flashing ill stick with stock. I have the the jpm without bootloader files so ill give it a go.
Btw anyone know if its recommended to remove your sim and sd when flashing or optional.

use stock JPM most of the custom roms are stock modded and nothing special..
Use stock and your own ****ty tweaks which is a lot better !

I recommend cyanogemod....Marcellusbe is working on that. It will be great if he finishes it.

try Destiny Based on JPN, and its fully stable.

I recommand the Kyrillos'ROM 5.5
It's the more stable and battery saver rom i've ever tried !

Even the indroid developers respond very quick and to the point. Rudolf is awesome. @everyone: go for indroid 4.3

Hi
My preference is:
Kyrillos 5.7 JPM-based with Fugumod 2.2 Bleeding Edge kernel OC 1300mHz
Most stable ROM I've used, quick responses and no FC so far (only been using again for 8 days but hey all the others I tried would FC a few times a day). I love it!
Switched to Indroid for a while and it is good but went back to Kyrillos as I prefer it.

Ive finally flashed (jpm). I just couldnt wait anymore. Everthing seems to be working good thus far, Thanks for all the help.

for american roms try stock DTLKDA or rafo's ROM those are the only ones I know for america I am currently on Rafo's Rom and its very stable btw I am new to this forum

I would recommend using team lambent kitchen and creating your own personal rom. I'm using jpq with g3 v1.32 lite for extra stability. G3 has a ram script built into it already so just remember not to install the ram hack performance mod.

Get jpm and customize it according to your needs...
