Camera Flash issue due to kernel?

hello.
i having searching around and seeing that the flash problem is due to the newer kernels?
i have extracted the kernel from a build with working flash and replaced it with the one that has a bad flash but it still presists?
am i switching kernels wrong?
(system>lib>modules)
thanks in advance

did you replace zImage too?

All the Nexus One based kernels have working flash. Michy R11, Git, and probably Darkstone. All the Evo based kernels have the delayed flash.

That's not true. I have tried the newest Git and Michy's R11 and both had this issue. I think it's cause by the builds, not by a kernel.
What build are you using?

[KERNEL]eXistZ JVP-Voodoo v2.0.0 [Voodoo Lagfix/Sound v9][UV][339MB][SMARTASS]

Since some of you have bad luck with OC kernels, I decided to build a non-OC kernel but still with a few features..such as UV support (no OC), Voodoo Lagfix and Sound..etc..
Think of this kernel as SP-Voodoo for 2.3.4
This Kernel is an i9000 sourced 2.3.4 kernel for I9000 Gingerbread JVP
This kernel is built off of Xcals Reorient v2.0 and is only tested on JVP!
As always, flash at your own risk, im not responsible for any damages!
Get support at #suckerpunch
Latest sources can be found on Github
Remember, I cant fix stupid or lazy. Please read the whole OP and the first and last 5 pages of this thead!
Custom Boot Animations
The bootanimation.zip needs to be /system/media/sanim.zip <- notice the name change
To install:
Flash .tar with Odin/Heimdall
If using Odin place tar in PDA slot
Enable/Disable Voodoo Lagfix in CWM->Voodoo
Delete Voltage Control settings in CWM->Advanced
Kernel Features
Voodoo Lagfix
Voodoo Sound v9
339MB RAM
BLN support
Uses Gamma 2.2
Speedmod Color Fix

This kernel will remain closer to Samsung source and not as extreme as Talon.. This is for those of you who want a semi-modded stock kernel.

Lol..yea i might stick with that name..not sure yet. I didnt want it to come off the wrong way, it was not directed towards anyone but me.. I simply cherry-picked things from what we had already done with Talon, but i might end up using it.. Vivified is working on a boot image, just wanted to get it released, will brand it in the next version

Interesting

Presently running it on Continuum 5.6 for those who might be interested..
Use ODIN - no reboot - clear dalvik,etc to avoid issues
seems to work great.. no BT problems or wifi issues as yet with 5.6

[Q] confused about kernal

I was wondering about the overclocking kernal for cm7. just how do i put it in. Do I have to do that when I first install or can I add it later. also does it really help. I mean is the difference really noticeable or not at all. I am still deciding if I should do it or not.

Kernels are flashed through ClockworkMod and can be flash anytime after you flash a rom. If you use the search bar you can easily find what particular kernel works for your setup.

OK, I think I found the right one but I was also wondering if I could install it when I first installed cm7. When I installed it I saw that it was searching for the kernel and for gapps but didn't find the n and skipped it. Could I install it then

CM7 has the ability to be overclocked as it sets.
settings > CM settings > performance > CPU settings.
just be extremely careful when Overclocking devices. it can takes it's toll in the long run.
and the g/apps are not kernel dependent they are ROM dependent.

OK but what do you mean by gapps are not kernal dependant

chad11 said:

On *UNIX based devices. They have a section of the firmware called the "kernel". The kernel accepts the coding, binary and scripts from the RAM/ROM and tells the hardware how to act, what to do, and when to do it.
The g/apps have nothing to do with the kernel.
The g/apps are Google's property and cannot be included in AOSP based ROMs. Those ROMs are developed from Google's code. And developers do not have the ability to add those at will. So we must flash them after/prior (depending on he ROM) to get the Google Apps.

YES! DO IT!
for me its like day and night, it so much smoother with dals OC kernel. and yes you can flash the OC kernel any time. you can flash cm7 rc1 then OC kernel in the same boot. or you can first install cm7 to check it out for a while and then later flash the new kernel. if you planning to flash dal's 6/18 kernel, make sure to get his app NC Tweaks.
NC Tweaks here:

Dal's Kernel here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451

thanks. What I want to know is how to flash it. do I do it the same way as gapps( have wifi and reboot in recovery mode) or is there a different way?

You place the over clock zip file in the root of your sd card and flash it through cwm like you would a rom or gapps. So for example you would flash cm7 then gapps then the overclock kernel.

Not to Jack this thread, but I want to update from cm7 old kernel to New nightly build. Does the new kernel flash with the nightly?

When you move from stable cm7 to cm7 nightly the new kernel is included. However the included kernel is overclockable only to 975mhz. If you want a higher clock speed you'll have to use dals 6182011 kernel, up to 1200mhz.

whats is cmw?

it's actually CWM.
ClockWork Manager
basically boot into recovery then flash.

OK. but this may be a stupid question but will the cm7 kernal work with the stable version7.0.3 because that is what I have.

I'm not following you cannot use just a Cyanogen(mod) kernel. They are built into their ROMs.

sorry, but no. dal's 6/18 OC kernel will not work with 7.0.3....

Ok thanks anyway. do you know when the kernal will work with a stable version

The latest nightly should be considered stable. It is in release candidate stable for the next stable build. The next stable build should be released in the next couple of days.

There is a Clockwork ROM Manager and a ClockworkMod Recovery image.
Together they are known as "CWM" Since one is a recovery and the other is a ROM manager.

brother a question, how do I integrate the standard kernel in a roms I'm cooking, I'd appreciate the help. Sorry for my English google.

Installed on CM7.2, works great!

I installed it by cwm, but i have loop in boot screen. Havee you any idea?

Your signature says that you are using huawei ideos u8150. If so, this kernel is not for your phone. It's for Huawei U8800 Pro. To fix this problem, just restore using a backup.

This kernel based on geno's kernel. I can't say anything about comparison because I didn't test Kalo's ROM.I tested it on B528 (Offical Huawei ROM,as same as Kalo's ROM) and I haven't encountered any problems. Can you write Kalo's default kernel's information?

Thank you

often there are problems with stability of the data connection. When the connection is active, the icons change color from white to green and the connection start fine. however, the connection jumps continuously and recovery of the signal is very slow and frustrating. Is there a way to improve the stability? Maybe changing some parameters in build.prop? My internet experience whit this devices is mortyfing. I had some improvements with this kernel, but a further effort would be appreciated!! thanks

Kernel help issues

Hi I just want help with some kernel, at now am using resurrection remix 4.4.2 as to my point that am unable to create a swap file on SD card as my kernel doest not support it had tried many swap apps but non of them works.
As I searched on Google with 4.4.2 custom kernels and flashed many but nothing happens... Kernel name remains same as factory default
As far as I am really confused and need some help from you guys... (Still using swapper for root on my Asus tab with cm10 stable and it worked fine for me hmm... Was thinking can I flash cm10 kernel of my tab by backuping my kernel and try to flash it on my s4 i9500 will it work??)
Thx

No it will not work.
Anyway there's just two custom kernel out there that supports 4.4 custom ROMs, just two:
1- Maxfour v14.
2- Persues v19.1 modified.
Any other kernel you may have downloaded could be for the wrong device, that's why it doesn't get installed.
