[request] stock 2.3.4 kernel with voodoo

Hi,
Can someone make a stock 2.3.4 kernel with just voodoo and nothing else?
Coz I'm getting best battery with stock ROM and kernel but the colors are bad!

That's for the GSM Nexus S 2.3.4 stock with the newer voodoo drivers? Many thanks!

Its for nexus 4g. Sorry. I Will make one for gsm.

Sure. Patiently waiting.

Actually after downloading my own post and looking, it will work for your phone. It only flashes the zImage and keeps your current ramdisk. So ya that should work but here is one that flashes the whole boot.img (attached)
Future reference: zImage + ramdisk=boot.img
So...any kernel that just flashes the zImage will be advertised as working on any rom.
The zips that are for GSM or NS4g specifically will most likely have the boot.img in it as opposed to just flashing the zImage. It flashes the whole boot partition.

For future reference the paid app only requires root, not a custom kernel. Show support and buy the extremely well made and maintained app.

Valuable info there. Thanks for the heads up!
And the paid app doesnt let you change the color profiles. Only has voodoo sound improvements. Bought it already.

Flashed it. Everything looking good. But I cant change the gamma and rgb values in voodoo control. Does it have the older voodoo drivers? All i want to be able to do is set custom rgb and gamma values on the stock kernel. If you can help me do that i'll be grateful! Thanks for all you've already done though.

Color profiles isn't available to you in voodoo app?

I can only select color profiles. Screen RGB multipliers and Screen v1 gamma hack aren't available. Would like them too.

Last time I checked the paid app doesn't have the color settings, as soon as these settings are added I'll buy it for sure

The one he made for you includes the pre 2.2.3 colors. That kernel will not allow the rgb and gamma hack. The pre 2.3.3 colors are awesome anyways.

Exactly. I was asking him if he could possibly make one where I can change RGB values and Gamma. No fret otherwise. The pre-2.3.3 one is running awesome.

Personally that's what i was looking for...one small problem though...i cannot connect to wireless anymore...in settings under wireless it says error and i can't even turn it on...ideas?

Hi - Is there any chance someone could make a 2.3.6 GRK39F kernel with the pre-2.3.3 color drivers that works on I9020T? - Thanks in advance!

I think the Lucid kernel is quite close to stock. It has Voodoo + BLN + UV. BLN is deactivated by default if you don't install the BLN app from the market. UV is applied by default, but this kernel is known to be one of the most stable kernel anyway, so I don't think UV is a bad thing.
You can save a lot of hassle by using the Lucid kernel rather than asking someone to compile the kernel for you. There are both NS and NS4G kernels, and pre-2.3.3 and post-2.3.3 colour profiles, a total of 4 types of kernels to choose from.

I looked at that. Problem is a) it doesn't support 2.3.6, and b) it's not the stock kernel. I don't want undervolting or BLN or any of the other tweaks contained in that kernel. I'd rather just have the pure stock Google kernel with the pre-2.3.3 drivers, and no other mods. To each their own.

It does support 2.3.6. I'm running it with Oxygen 2.3, which is now based on 2.3.7. I understand people might not want to use BLN and UV, but I don't understand the logic...
These may be part of the kernel, but they don't get in the way of normal use if you simply ignore them. But anyway, each person has his/her own choices.

[Q] thor 3.9R4 compatible with taboonay 3.01?

My A500 was running Taboonay 3.01ROM without any problem. When watching some 720P video it tented to stutter here and there so I though I should look into overclocking it. I downloaded kernel 3.9R4 for custom ROM from tegraowners and installed it. The tablet stopped working after reboot. I could still see the lock button but I was not able to unlock the screen. It seemed the touch screen did not work any more. I then did a reset boot with power-vol-up-gyro combination and it is now on the "Welcome" screen. But the "start" button is grayed out and it does not respond to any screen press, like a frozen windows pc.
IS there any way I can push the old working kernel into the tablet. maybe using adb push?
Thanks,
Jay

Tabooney 3.0.1 is ICS i.e. thor's 3.9R4 kernel is incompatible because it is for Honeycomb. Reflash another full ROM.

Thanks for the info. How do I flash another ROM? I normally ran ACER recovery to boot into recovery. I can not do that any more so what are the steps for installing a new ROM?
Thanks,
Jay

Just stay away from thor's things. Warez is a bad, bad thing.

Here we go again. Let's keep it clean, shall we?

I was able to re-install the taboonay 3.0 rom by Power + vol- into recovery and install it from external SD card. Everything is back to its original working order.
Thanks!
Now a question, is there a kernel I can use on ICS to overclock my A500?

No. This is stock kernel with all the custom ICS ROMs here (sources are still unavailable). Thor's project is AOSP and comes with custom kernel which is overclockable.

I was looking in the Xoom threads, and found this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488059
It says "Including overclocking to 1.7GHz", but when I load the kernel atop my rom, I still don't get the CPU to show anything more than 1000mhz.
Does anyone know if there some type of module that has to be loaded now-a-days? Some type of configuration change required? Or do we just need to wait for a custom kernel that has this all worked out a head of time.

Overclocking stock ICS ROMS
I've been annoyed that I can not keep my ARM running at 1.5GHz as well and was looking at the manual settings in SetCPU. I think (I haven't tested yet and might be wrong) you can make a simple text file to specify the CPU speeds. Has anyone else tried this and maybe can supply a copy of their text file?
I'll try later tonight and report back if it works if no-one else gets back 1st

Now there's a good one. Let's load a Motorola kernel on top of an Acer Rom with Acer hardware.
You're lucky you didn't bork the tab
Then we;d have to refer you to the Zoom forum to get it unborked.

Overclocking using any app requires a Kernel that actually supports this feature -- which Acer ICS Stock 2.6.39.4+ doesn't. As Acer didn't release the source for a Kernel that was never meant to be used by the general public (It's a Leak, remember?) we can't add this feature. Flashing another kernel is probably a dumb idea also, as it almost definitely isn't going to anything other than brick your tab (If you try anyway, at least do a NAND backup). Once Acer releases the sources for their ICS kernel (which won't be before they release the ROM) OC will be possible using our own, hacked, kernels -- until then, be patient (or use HC).

so there's still no custom kernel for taboonay 3.0.1 for overclocking?

EZTerry's OC kernel in the Dev section should work. "should". It's an ICS kernel.

2.6.36+ kernel

I want to know if there's a 2.6.36 kernel for our device.
I know there is working 2.6.35 which I have built and used on. But I am specifically interested in 2.6.36 or 2.6.37. The reason is I'm tring to add new io schedule and .35 doesn't support row or fias.
I found some 2.6.36 msm7x30 kernels for samsung, but I can't find one for HTC. (even a dhd kernel will be fine.)
Anyone can help me on this?
Btw, I know 4.1 and 4.0 can run on 2.6 kernel. If I want to port a 4.2 rom, how can I make it work on 2.6 instead of a 3.0 kernel?

The rom has to be able to run off of a 2. kernel. I know PAC 15 does.

Help here!

I want to know if I need to install a custom rom or a custom kernel or a combination of both so that I can overclock my phone(1ghz single core). Please help. Why is everybody so silent here, so unwilling to answer a simple question as this. My fourth post of the same question.

Any custom ROM that comes packaged with an included kernel should allow you to overclock. AFAIK the oveclocking capability lies within the kernel (at least with Xperias this is the case) . At the least, a stock ROM with a custom kernel and a CPU/Performance app will give you overclocking options.
My suggestion though is to get a ROM like PAC, that comes with a kernel and the needed app to manage your CPU settings.

That is not fully correct.
Most PAC builds use the stock CM kernel. Our ROM offers performance settings to manage that, but they generally do not allow overclocking.
Some of us have additional builds with performance kernels built in. Not all of us though.
Your best approach would be to install PAC for your device then check your devices XDA thread for a popular performance kernel and flash that afterwords. The performance control will see the new CPU settings and you will then be able to configure it as you need.

DL an oc app, like CPU tuner or whatever..

Yes, you need a kernel with overclock support .
On Gs2 I use PAC and dorimanx kernel
On your phone you need to search for kernels and roms for your model

[Q] Easy franco kernel question!

Basically, I'm thinking of buying franco's app/or faux's app (haven't decided on which one yet), what I needed to know was can I use that for other kernels?
P.S. Stick to the question, don't answer trickster mod, I know what it is. The question is specific enough, if that kernel allows, can I use this app for changing some settings of that kernel?

Yes! Franco's and Faux's kernel enhancement apps work for ALL kernels. I've personally tested both of them on Faux's, Franco's, AK, Bricked etc kernels.
