[KERNEL] 2.6.29 Kaos AOSP kernel OC/BFS/EXT4

This is for all the devs using my kernel in their roms.
This is the same as my last kernel with Zanfur's OC patches included.
The attached file is *JUST* the kernel, you can't flash it in recovery.
This kernel now also has the Latest .316 BFS Scheduler(thanks to Decad3nce's backport) and EXT4 support.
If you like my work, think about donating to my coffee fund.

Great work!
I will try it.
Just waiting for new WhiteWidow,

The problem is the ramdisks are different for each ROM, so it'll need to be combined with the ramdisk for that build.
You can flash it with fastboot though over your already installed rom.

thanks for the quick answer. I saw with the last rev of your kernel there was a link for a flashable, that why i asked. i wanted to flash over darchstar's kernel in cyanogen, see if there was any improvements. i"ll try the fastboot maybe tonight.
again thanks

I tried to flash the imgage through fast boot (I did rename the img to PB00IMG.zip) and I got the blue progress bar on the right side like it was flashing, but when I went to see if the kernal took, it did not replace darchstars kernal. Any thoughts?

Has this been working for people running CE v1.1 over darch's kernel? If so, has it improved your battery life at all?

I'm working on CyanogenMod6 for our phones and this happened to by on the way there because I was futzing in recovery so I put it out as ppl seemed to be asking for Voodoo support in Froyo. If it doesn't work for you, don't worry - the performance difference between stock RFS and Voodoo on Froyo isn't as significant as it was with Eclair (the 'Q' number is near 1400 rather than above 1700 - I guess still somewhat better than stock).

colorfix can't be done without sources and this kernel will have aosp bootanimation.zip support soon as well.

and speak of the devil, anyone wanting AOSP boot animation support, use this kernel here:

same as above, flash in CWM, place any WVGA bootanimation.zip in either /system/media or /data/local

All of the above. But CWM recovery is default, you can boot into 2e if you want from that. I prefer CWM recovery as my default, so that's how it is.

It seems to hate clockwork... it won't install no matter whick way I flash it in clockwork

these two things are unrelated, bootanimation.zip goes on your phone, unsigned zips are run from recovery. this kernel as clockwork as the default recovery.

works fine for me, but you can also try renaming it to update.zip and trying that way... the only way to tell if it's working is with a custom boot animation or verifying the output of build.txt in the root of the phone

no dice that way either.all the update-script text comes up, says it's done flashing the kernel, and then reboots, but the name of the kernel doesn't change. plus when i tried as update.zip it stuck at the boot screen and i had to flash an older kernel to get it to boot.

[Q] CM7 built from source wont boot

I got brave and decided to try and build cm7 from source. Everything seemed to work just fine, copied the created update.zip to my sdcard, flashed, wont boot.
If I post it, could someone help figure out why that is?

Look in the out/target/product/glacier directory that you found the update.zip file in and get the recovery.img file. This is CWM recovery 3.0.0.0 and it is required for GB to work. Won't work with froyo though so make sure you take a backrup of your existing recovery.

Did you check r.cyanogenmod.com for open commits? There are a lot of patches to the source up. Some are for all devices, some are for ours, and some don't apply to our device at all but you would benefit from patching your repo.
Mine boots fine. Try patching the repo and building again if you have the patience.

[mod][PATCH][AROMA] ROM_PATCH v1.2 for ics- full freedom

thanks a lot to amarullz for providing aroma installer, and thanks to nightshack0 I have taken his installer and modded to work according to my need but dont think that I have just copied and pasted the installer
had you ever feel that another galaxy s variant's forum have a ics rom which suits all your need but you cannot flash it because it is not yet ported to your device but now all this will not happen again with this patch you can install which ROM you want to flash there will be no boundation for you.
if you are getting status 7 or getprop error then a little work from your side is needed
extract the rom to a folder then go to /extracted folder/META - INF/com/Google/Android
from there open updater-script and remove all getprop lines
come back to META - INF folder and delete all three files
zip the file and flash it in recovery
NOTE:- to edit updater script use jota text editor(android), notepad++(windows)

this patch will let you flash other I9000 or t959 roms I have not tried it on other variant but you can try and let me know if it works, I have tried to flash a nexus s rom and it was not flashing so just flash and let me know there is no harm no soft brick no hard brick just physical button will not work until you flash this patch or another rom

initrd.gz problems

I am at a loss here. I am running CLK 1.5 PA 1.1a with tytung r3, however, the device gets icon flash similar to icecreamtosti, where the icons do not respond without a reboot.
I wanted to flash Dorimanx v6.9 or v7.2 HWA, and understand I need to place the ROMs initrd.gz file in the initrd-custom folder. I have tried this on Snow Leopard & XP to no avail using a variety of different compression programs including 7-zip. I unzip the kernel and the ROM, put the PA 1.1a initrd.gz in the correct folder and rezip it. Each time though, even after re-downloading the kernel and ROM, I get an error within CWM, which reads that the installation has been aborted. Why is this? Do I need to re-compile the kernel in Android Kitchen? (I do not know how to do this by the way) or what else am I doing incorrectly? I have trawled the XDA HD2 forum, but had no luck. Suggestions?

You don't unzip the contents. By doing so you break the signing. What you wanna do is open your ROM zip using 7 zip then browse to the initrd.gz file copy to your desktop, close everything. Now open the kernel zip file browse to the initrd-custom folder open it. Now double click and drag the initrd.gz file from your desktop to the 7-zip window which has the kernel zip opened to the initrd-custom folder.

Have you tried installing the kernel without adding the initrd.gz? I remember getting that error when the download was inturupted or something. So if you still get that error without editing the zip, then it most likely is the zip file and you need to redownload. Because if you did exactly as i said then it should be working. Im a long time user of his kernel's on almost every ROM out there and never once ran into any troubles. But we will surely figure this out
Can you post a link to the ROM you are using, and i'll download it and edit the kernel then repost it in this thread for you.

Thank you so much, I wanted to experiment whether v6.9 is better than v7.2. Would it be possible to repack that kernel too?

Haha yes I could, I personally preferred 7.2 over 6.9 but my favorite is 6.5D xP
Did you flash the zip yet?

I flashed it with success, but it doesn't feel as snappy as tytung r3, it takes a few seconds to unlock and load programs, even clocked at 1612mhz and experimenting with ZRAM on and off. Thank you though, I will probably stick with tytung's for the moment though, did you use 7-zip to transfer the initrd.gz file?

Hmm i wonder if its cause i took the initrd.gz from an older version of Paranoidandroid. I have version .6 on my computer thats why i used it. I'll redownload the latest and try with that. I might even flash it myself and test it out. Maybe the lib files need to be transfered as well. Dorimanx has by far been the best kernel for myself, but i dont really care for ICS yet but when i was testing the waters i used DM kernel and i loved it. Snappy responsive and pretty awesome. It just lacks a boat load of features i rely on in CM7. CM9 claimed they will re add the features once they iron kinks out so once they release a better build i will most likely convert

Very curious by this statement, and admittedly, my own android experience is limited... I've used ACA SD android for a number of months, and have switched over to ICS. Currently with ICT & DM's 6.9 kernel, but love the UI in hybrid mode of PA... and so, am really curious what you meant when you alluded to 'missing features' that were in CM7, but not CM9. What was lost? What am I missing? (sincere question) Thanks, -Rob

Well, there are two that i pretty much LOVE and cannot live without xD
Those are,
1. Disable full screen (status bar remains visible no matter the app, has a "hide" button if you wish to use full screen in a game or app, then you can unhide by pressing home key(my choice))
2. Really big one, lockscreen gestures. I love being able to draw a 'C' on my lockscreen and open the phone whitout having a custom app slot being taken up. Plus, gestures allow for an app to run while still displaying the lockscreen.
THose are the only two big ones i will miss, there are a few more small ones but i dont remember without flashing CM9 and checking And its been awhile since ive tested the waters, so i might download the latest AOKP and CM9 to see where they are at. But they both are good and pretty cool. CM7 is just perfect for me. No issues what so ever.

It would be brilliant if you could test out the kernel with the initrd.gz from 1.1a PA, that might explain why it felt slow when I tested the original.
