[Q] BLN with StupidFast 1.2.3

How can I enable BLN with this Kernel? BLN Control says I need to go into "advanced ULK features" in CWM but I dont have that option in my CWM anywhere. Running CWM 2.5.1.0 according to Rom Manager. Is there another way to enable it?
Sorry if this has been answered.

I haven't tried that kernel, but which version of the BLN app do you have? The one from the market works with some kernels, but you need the one from the I9000 forum post for others. If you search "bln app" in the I9000 forum you should find it - its the .5 alpha version for older kernels. If you can't find it let me know and I can link it but I'm on the xda app right now .....

I'm using the latest from Market. I tried to find 0.5 on the forums but was unable to. Can you post a link please?

Sent you a PM......

Tried using the BackLightNotification settings 0.5 alpha but it says BLN is not installed on this device.
BTW, I was wrong, Im using StupidFast 1.2.3.
Any other suggestions of how I get to that other feature in CWM Recovery?

I don't believe our phones have that feature in cwm. Crazy thought but what about trying a different kernel? I don't know how important vibration or haptic is to you but I'm running jt's latest 11/29 non-voodoo kernel and it has both bln and vibration. I don't know what else to suggest if neither bln control app is working for you. Or what about the newer StupidFast kernel on ROM Manager - I think its v. 1.5.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Yeah I could try the JT non-voodoo. Can I just flash the JT kernel in CWM directly over StupidFast and do the same in reverse if I need to roll back? I can live with no haptic but I need the phone to be able to vibrate for rings and notifications so I know StupidFast 1.5+ is not an option now.

Yes you can flash it right over the StupidFast - I did and had no problems. Are you familiar with irc? There's a download link there for the 11/29 kernel - just make sure you get the right one because there's a voodoo and non-voodoo one. PM me if you have trouble finding it.

Thanks... that worked.

[Q] SetCPU - Cannot Overclock?

I'm running the rooted Gingerbread v2.3.4 with S-OFF. I purchased and installed SetCPU from the market thinking I could overclock. Everything appears to be capped at 1 GHz. Maybe I have misunderstood the capabilities of SetCPU? Do I need to install a different kernel to overclock?

you would have to flash a different kernel to be able to overclock past 1ghz. since youre using Sense, Id recommend Darkside SENSE v7

OK. How would I go about backing up my current kernel or if I wanted to revert back, would I just reflash the original ROM?

Yes, back up the whole ROM, and revert to it if different kernel won't work.

Do the backup in recovery.

Thanks for the help.
I've been researching the one mentioned kernel as well as some of the other options. I'd really like to know what your opinions are on thederekjay's v2.6.35.14 demonspeed v7 kernel vs. faux123's v0.0.9? I'm wanting to keep as close to stock as possible - I'm just looking for the ability to overclock. Are there any others I should be looking at?

I'd go with the Darkside kernel. Its newer and you can use apps like incredicontrol or OC/UV beater to undervolt it. No offense to faux. He makes a great kernel. I just had better success with Derek's kernel.

go with demonspeed v7, its more updated and probably has a lot less bugs/more optimizations than Faux's because I dont think he devs for the mt4g anymore, so there hasnt been any updates. You can also try out the UNITY kernel by the Virtuous Team, great kernel as well

I'm having trouble locating this kernel by itself. If anyone has a link, that would be much appreciated. I can only find the entire ROM. Also, in the technical notes, I read this...
Virtuous overclocking daemon will automatically be disabled if an overclocking tools (such as SetCPU or CPU Tuner) is installed. Installing these tools is not advised, as the virtuous_oc daemon responds far more rapidly to screen state changes than any Android (Java) application.

I'm not familiar with the virtuous_oc daemon but it sure sounds like what I need to use. Any experiences with this vs. SetCPU?

This is for the daemon:

Thanks for the links. I gather from the kernel filename, virtuous_kernel_comb_v10_from_beta2.zip, that v10 is still in beta? I think I read that v10 development has been abandoned. Is that your understanding? I certainly could be wrong. I've read so many threads in the last few days my eyes are crossing!

Not sure. I never really used unity, as I wasn't in the mood for sense for about a year. Don't be afraid of a beta kernel. If you don't like it, just flash v9.
I hate to be a turd, but if you could hit the thanks button I'd be... Thankful. Lol
I only have 4 because I don't push it. BTW, you can PM me anytime. I'll help if I know how.

Good kernel to go with?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a good kernel for my nex7. I'm running latest paranoidrom with stock kernel. Basically i want to OC and keep my tab smooth(and tweak it here and there). Battery is not that important to me. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

try them all, they are all good. find the one that you and your device likes best since every device will react differently with every kernel. i prefer trinity kernel.

In my opinion for me personally, the kernel is the most important custom feature because everything I like jacking with is kernel related.
I like motley's kernels, trinity, and faux's kernels. I run Motley way more than any of the other ones, it's just a really nice and easy combination with really badass performance on my tablet. I try to run every experiemental kernel from trinity too just to keep myself in the loop.
To start with I recommend Motley's 1.11. and try builds 218 and 219 which are the same kernels with different max GPU speeds.
Simms is a kernel expert, he gives out a ton of good advice in the kernel threads.

Thanks for the advice. The reason why im asking this is because on my gnex I started my kerneladventures with franco, and this messed up my ramdisk causing me to reflash my phone. I just want to make sure that it doesnt happen again on my nex7. On the galaxy i run faux kernel, i didnt know it existed for the nex7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Motley's anykernel installation method makes it real easy to avoid conflicts by not overwriting the rom's ramdisc and things like that, I would strongly advise getting your feet with with his kernel.
Also, make sure you're following the original development section, faux's kernel is in there along with the others.

thats because francisco was defaulting to fsync off and barrier=0 for some time. thats a tricky combination that could cause problems if you ever crashed. he doesnt do that anymore. fsync off is much safer when barrier=1

Shakey Kernels?

So I am very new here and I just managed to get a kernel to work after 2 days of hard effort lol. I am using Fraco Kernel on my Nexus 4. I tried two other kernels which are the Trinity and Matr1x kernels and when I load either of those the screen is "shakey" whenever I swipe through the pages or drawer pages and it just doesn't feel right. Please help? I delete the dalvik and cache each time I load a new rom. Any help much appreciated!
Also, for the best balance of battery saving and performance which is the best kernel? I want to UV as well to reduce heat and increase battery life slightly. And what is the best looking kernel?

are you flashing jss/jls kernels on a jwr rom? i bet you are. what rom are you running? you can go into developer options and disable hardware ovetlay, this should "fix" it. theres also a flasablefloating around the threads here that will fix your issue, so you dont have to keep disabling hardware overlays after rebooting.
and there is no best kernel. every device reacts differemtly to every kernel. whats best for me coukd be worst for you. thats why we tell people that you have to try different kernels, to find the bbest kernel for your device and your needs. its actually not even allowed to post whats the best kernel threads on xda. as every person believes that the kernel that they are running is the best, and eventually starts arguments.

"best" in roms/kernels on a nexus is like me saying that blue-green is the best color. and too me it is. but other will disagree with me, some will think that blue, red, yellow, green is best. and they will all be right as well. so, if we all are right, there is no best. best is what is right for you, it has everything you need, want. and it runs great on your personal device. considering that we all have different needs, wants, we all think different roms, kernels are best.

The under volt is likely causing the freezing. If you're using JSS, then it has deadlocks that cause temporary freezes. Some kernels have deadlock patches like Neo kernel & Bcm W4.

Jss/Jls and jwr are versions of 4.3 android. The jss freezes are fixable, but the patches aren't in all Roms or kernels.

Recent GPU updates to CM prevent it from being compatible with most kernels. Supersu is flashed via recovery just like the ROM, and I haven't heard of the color issue before. Use stock cm kernel if you wanna use CM.

Custom cm12 kernel for trltespr

So as most know we have a multitude of custom lp Roms..... But one thing we are seriously missing and I personally am craving is a custom kernel..... So this is a sort of shout out to any kernel devs or folks who are capable or even folks who are in league with kernel devs....... Our phone should have this......... So.... Having said that....I would request that if anyone is able or knowing or willing... Let's get cracking..... Lol......I do a fair amount of tweaking but kernels in at a loss never put my hands at it so I wouldn't even know where to start...... This is my humble plea that we acquire a custom kernel..... Thanks.....

I am willing to test any kernels that come over to our device!

Undervolting cm12 would be so bad ass. I'm such a nerd. I hope ktoonsez comes around these parts iirc he makes kernels for one of the variants
