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.

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.

All,
per positive response below is a link to a copy of ivanmmj Eris_Official 1.0 ROM that I have fully deodexed. This is more meant for devs for continued play time, but it is a flashable ROM. PLEASE NOTE that ivanmmj himself looks to be coming out with the next version of Eris_Official 1.0 per his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652044.
Hope this is helpful and Enjoy
Link: REMOVED FROM HOST SERVER
P.S. please let me know of any issues as this is my first full deodex also I would like to encurage using this tread to exploring moding some of the system files on Eris ROM builds as it has been fun to tweak things
P.P.S. If you want the Zanfer kernel let me know and I will look at adding it in however ivanmmj's new version should have it...
what is Deodex?
I'm definitely interested, but I also think Ivan is working on the same project himself. I'm pretty sure his "1.1" is deodexed and has Zanfur's kernel. Not sure what other changes he has in mind, but you might want to check with him before posting since you'll end up being the one getting all the PM's from people wanting help. ;-)
Yes please I'm looking for exactly that

i dont know what you think but it might be a better platorm than ivanmmjs
a deodexed version of that would be tight....
kernels are easy to compile and swap out, a different kernel isnt going to influence the build at all
i always seem to get better battery life from the non oc'ed kernel.

it means you have a classes.dex file rather than a .odex file
it makes things easier, its also possible to metamorph these builds and its possible to install a deoexed app on multiple platforms.

A more experienced developer can add more but a few quick basics:
.odex files are precompiled class flies that correlate to a .apk or .jar file. In an odex ROM an .apk/.jar file will not function without it's correlated .odex.
a deodex build takes all of the .odex files converts them to a classes.dex and puts them into the .apk or .jar file package
deodex ROM are easier to mod because each .apk or .jar is a "complete" package and can be more easily decompiled and ported (i.e. you do not have to worry about the .odex files)
A deodexed build requires less space in /system, but more space in /data
A deodexed build requires a longer initial boot because they must regenerating those odex files from the dex files in the .apks/.jars and save them to /data/dalvik-cache
Thats a quick list of what I know
odex only help speed up app loading time and first time boot. Think of this as Windows' prefetch.
If you want to re-create odex for apk for porting, etc... I suggest only do this to /system/app not /data/app because when you do update from market and your app will break, unless you wipe out dalvik-cache.

Technically it is fine as an everyday ROM, however I do not recomend using it for such because it is not support and will have no additional features over ivanmmj origional 1.0.
So I guess, yes it meant to be used as a base ROM or "spare parts" for devs.

Someone else did this, on androidforums.com. I haven't replied to his posting, but it's in like page 19 of the 'show off your UI layout' thread there. I'm working on a modified Rosie.apk right now, as soon as I get this de-odex'd Ivan's on my phone running. Titanium backup here I come.
FYI, I was able to flash the deodexed version over the original Eris_Official 1.0 Alpha without having to do a full wipe (just wiped dalvik-cache). Naturally, I went back and re-flashed Zanfur's overclock kernel after that.
SCROLL DOWN FOR CHANGE LOG
First let me start by saying I am by no means a developer. HOWEVER, Ive become somewhat obsessed with getting ram management right for my usage paterns. After a good week of fiddling around with different LMK values, this is where I ended. Blend of performance and keep in ram, i can have 3-4 apps open and hit the browser and it doesnt have to reload, and ive yet to see ram usage go above 293. It works for me so I want to share with the community. It is your choice on whether you want to keep zram or disable it. Some report better performance either way. This is not a "hack". It is a re-calibration of lmk settings. These settings have been tested on 0.4.4.16 and up versions of Talon kernel on Apex. I am not responsible for any mishaps.
Directions: Flash from CWM
UPDATE 11-1-11:
More effective lmk adj/oom settings
Changed lmk values to achieve balance of performance and memory
Adjusted home app adj value to prevent launcher kills
Adjusted home app mem to improve multi task
SPECIAL THANKS TO PIKACHU01 FOR IMPROVED LMK ADJ/OOM LEVELS
Special thanks to:
Existz for the outstanding feature packed Talon Kernel
Kodos96 for initial ram management
Apparition for creating the CWM flashable file
Anyone else associated with the development of the Talon Kernel
Juwe 11 for peaking my interest in ram management
And finally watsa for the masterpiece that is Apex 9.1
*Edit* PROCEDURE ONLY FOR TALON KERNEL! For other kernels, you must locate where your ram settings are located and adjust values there.
Thanks for the research... Where is the ram.conf located?

^^^^^i second that, im exceedingly curious about such scripts and how yours will stack up to v6 supercharger, or even how it will improve upon v6 when paired with it, but i cant pull up your screenshot (my computer at work issue, nothing wrong with it) so uploading the .conf file would be convenient
Can this be used with xcals I9000 reorient kernel? Isn't talon based of xcals?

Ihtfp69 tip toes in and closes the door
I realized after releasing a ROM that no one was using Koush's AnyKernel method for flashing kernels. This poses a problem for ROMs with custom ramdisks. Someone mentioned the AnyKernel method did not work on this phone. So I did some investigating. With a few changes to the script, I have it working perfectly.
Credits here, of course, go to Koush. I just modified his script. The kernel zip attached here contains the kernel from the latest leak. Because this uses the AnyKernel method, you can flash this on ANY GB Sense ROM and it will work and not break WiFi.

The bcm spits out at the end of compiling the kernel and it is specific to the kernel. Pull the zimage and the modules from the ROM, put them in the correct folders in the zip ... Wipe Cache and Dalvik for kicks and flash. Should be fine.

That worked like a charm!.. Flashed with the lib/modules after wiping cache n dalvik. Thanks again!
At the suggestion of others, I put this in its own thread.
First of all, credit goes to Watsa for his work on Pinnacle. The ROM I posted yesterday was built with the Android kitchen and somehow was breaking WiFi (and root). So I used the Android kitchen to just deodex /app and /framework this time around and merged that into Pinnacle 1.3. This is not Pinnacle based by any means (ot Pinnacle tweaks or UI, etc.), I just used it to embed the ROM with rooting capabilties and edited the update script slightly.
Everything is stock here besides removing AT&T bloat, deodexing, zip-aligning, and root. The kernel and modem are stock I897UCKI2. There are NO BOOTLOADERS within this ZIP. So you must be running a Gingerbread ROM already.
I am running it right now with WiFi and root working. I was able to use TiBu to restore 90+ apps as well.

downing ......
I think you should add deodexed/zipaligned/rooted in the OP...
EDIT:
Works smoothly...flashed over fasty II V2.0 but am gonna back to Fasty mostly just keeping this for a day I think..not a stock kinda guy
Nice work emuneee.
And on a side... checked out ur website---very good stuff there as well.
is this the exact same CWM version that was in the body of the other I897UCKI2 thread?
Nice work. Thanks for putting this together. Unfortunately, my office firewall blocks the server you uploaded it to. If anyone can put in on a dropbox I would really appreciate it.
*DISREGARD*
I killed TIBU from task manager...restarted it and it restored fine

[/COLOR]has anyone successfully restored apps from TIBU after installing this?
I did flash boogs kernel after the flash as well.
Tried restoring from TIBU and stuck on the first APP at 0% with no progression?

Nice work! I was running into the same issue you were yesterday with wifi being broke. Curious to know what you did to fix it.
NVM! Didn't read the entire OP.
terher manager apk
Did you already pull the Tethering Manager APK from the system/apps folder or are they using a differently named apk now? It was in my system app folder?

In setup, make sure that you enable debug mode, unknown apps. Works great for me. I injected boogs 1 kernel, then booted and flashed the K1 K2 boogs kernel with init.d. I also injected the attached battery mod for a circle battery, just cant handle the stock battery. I can't seem to get that Powermenu that has been posted to work though.

Powermenu not wanting to work for me either. Odin Boog 1 and then flashed Boog 2 with CWM. The ROM is working nice.

Awesome! +10char
[ edit/update ]
I get it. It's flash-able via CWM (which isn't possible on STOCK 2.3.x -->d'oh.)
I flashed Pinnacle ROM on my i897 (which has CWM v4x included -- sweet), saw how awesome it is; and flashed it to my wife's (Mrs. metalchef) i897 immediately (funny how there's no CWM or rooting method for 2.3.x, yet all the ROMs based off of this release come pre-rooted & incl CWM...I don't get it)
She has since commented on how fast this ROM is (vs say... FastyIIv2, which is what I had flashed to her device previously).
sorry for the silly post. derrrr
I can haz CWM.
Glad it seems to be working for everybody!
metalchef said:
Since this is in .zip format, how am I to apply/flash this to my device? (All I'm looking for here is su/root capabilities with 2.3.x)...is this not meant to be used by non-devs?

If your phone is already running a Gingerbread Rom, just flash it using CWM recovery.

and make sure that you disable lagfix first, that is if you are running it.
Well like some of you might have seen on my other threads I'm planning to set up a minimal phone Rom with cm 10.2 and gapps.
Im planning to remove some preinstalled cm 10.2 apps like Apollo or terminal etc.
Will they come back when I update to the next nightlie or stay away ?

oh.. if they have the script that saves gapps, then yea they will still be there. if they arent using the script that saves gapps, then you have to flash them every time. but if you delete system apps that arent part of the gapps package but part of the rom, then they will come back after every rom flash.
Someone posted a flashable zip file that run a script to remove defined files, but I don't know the thread.
Instead of using nightlies, just use snapshots and stable builds so you don't have to worry about it often.

Let's say there are 20+ apks, lib.so, ringtones to remove and you want to flash a set of files to the rom as well. It's much faster.

I know, but then I have to navigate to /system/lib, /system/media and /system/tts/ to delete files, then i have to copy files to /system/app, /system/lib, /system/media/, system/usr/, /system/audio, and /system/etc and edit the boot.prop, but I just drag and drop on my computer for that for now.

Sorry, made a mistake during a quick reply, but you can try the 2nd link I gave, or here: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm10&device=gapps It's the same package as from goo.im, which is currently having downtime.
