[Q] Difference from Froyo to GB kernel builds - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to determine whether a build is for Froyo or GB kernel.
I mean a line in a prop file or something else inside the zip itself, not google and guess!

Latest ICS for Defy not working on Bravo

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20056083#post20056083
It's sad I think it's because it runs on 2.3.4+ kernel version. The older one was 2.2. What can we do?
Why can't we change our kernel

Motorola locked it. We can't unlock it without there signiture.

What we need is that developer who is working with it now, to create a rom without the new kernel, I think walter79 is working them, I'll asking him.
If I'm not mistaken the green lense defy still has to use the froyo kernel

walter79 told that we need to compile ICS with froyo kernel, but how can we do that?
He sent this: https://github.com/Quarx2k
in the ics thread there is something how to do it!!
Compiling ics is ridicolous amount of ram needed. 20gigs I think... bravomotorola... check your pm

Since we really have no true devs we are going to have to look for one with knowledge of code. We may have to donate some money to someone to get them a bravo unless there's someone with an extra that is willing to let someone use it. That's our true problem is that the defy, Atrix, galaxy s, and other phones have support from cm and alot of experienced devs that have been developing since the magic and hero days.

Hey there.
Are you gonna help us with something about ICS?
Well I think we need first a fully working 2.3, then we can go to the next step.
Thanks everything
Bravomoti will post his results.. gave him some tips

Yes, the results from the excellent tip: Well first I moved over the framework and apps like rdanner said, and it worked! Then I moved over the ect folder for working gps and better working wifi and such, and it also worked and booted! It runs pretty well, but the only problem is 3D (egl libs) don't work with the 2.2 kernel (this is a guess kind of, I'm guessing it needs the 2.3 kernel). Any time I move over newer libs from the newer build I get stuck at the moto screen. I still suggest people to try it out though, I don't have the signal working yet I don't think unless it already works...maybe try playing with the baseband switcher. The build is pretty smooth and wifi and orientation both work good...
Try it here
ICS gapps here
After install wipe data/factory reset and cache and dalvic cache maybe... I would boot it up first and do gapps after it's booted. Have fun, and thanks again rdanner!
You cannot usually mix gb libs with froyo libs..

So there is no way to get the gingerbread kernel on the Bravo?
The kernel... probably not... you need a factory gb kernel source Wich the bravo does not have...

Is that why you get that bootloader error when trying to flash it?
EDIT:
LOL!! I quote Epsylon's thread under to do list:
2.2 kernels :
Fix Google maps, no errors but no layer drawed (working only with defy+ kernel and gl libs)
Fix 3D (galery, opengl etc...) working with only defy+ kernel and gl libs

Looks like he might get 3D working for our 2.2 kernels!!

I would advice using quarx's version of cm7 which is more stable than the official stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798 has been very helpfull to me for all the basic stuff, and the latest version of quarx's cm7.1 is available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654
Thnx buddy..really lukin forwrd for it..)

Is it hapening due to less sd card free space?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Propably yes. You need about 200~500mb depending on the amount of apps.
Also have a look at Titanium Backup. That app is used to migrate your apps to your new rom. For example for savings with games...

i9000 ICS runing on 2.6.35.X kernel

Hi,
I'm looking for ICS ROM for i9000 running on kernel 2.6.35.7 or 2.6.35.14. Also interested about kernel sources. If you know ROM like this just tell me. Thanks a lot.
I don't think this is possible, because kernel 2.6.35 is missing some features from the upstream kernel which are required by ICS. Also I'm wondering, why you would prefer an older kernel over a newer one?
I need kernel 2.6.35 for different device. Want to use i9000 kernel as a base.
U won't find any with lower than 2.8.x+ kernel.

There is no 2.8 kernel. Last 2.6 kernel was 2.6.39, after that came 3.0. But 3.0 is not really a major update, it's essentially 2.6.40, but Linus thought the numbers get too high so he named it 3.0 instead of 2.6.40.

[Q] Flashlight on CM10

My flashlight is not working on CM10 by Quarx,it flashes very weak,not with full potential. How to fix that?
Stop using it immediately, use the latest version of cm10. If you still have weak flashlight then its an hardware issue
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
I am using this build: CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY-mb526 .
Flashlight was perfectly working,and then I flashed froyo .sbf because I wanted to go to CM10 and now its very weak.
Well, its a recent build with the flashlight issue solved that could burn the flashlight. But in your case I think it may be damaged depending on which froyo sbf you flashed.
You should try gb kernel and you can then use the cm10 builds, though I think it had suffered permanent hardware damage
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Can you give me the link for that GB kernel? I have MB525.
Dude just flash any gb sbf, preferably for your region

[Q] Recommended .SBF for Defy+?

Can someone recommend me a 2.3.6 BL-6 Defy+ SBF which seems to be working fine with CM10/CM9?
As in: With working Wi-Fi.
All bl6 sbfs will work equally well for cm10. Only difference is in basebands of the roms. But that can be taken care of(must be) by using baseband switcher app in cm 10 as the default baseband may not work for everyone

Mine sadly doesn't It's a Germany one, but I suppose it shouldn't be a issue moving to a European Retail one or a Nordic (? - gotta check) one.
Thanks.
Again, no issue since you're going to eventually migrate to cm10
