[ROM] B160 - New OC Kernel, Root, Wifi-tether

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
Rom based on Official B160.
Features
Kernel from genolokar (available here), see note 1 below for overclocking info.
Rooted and latest SuperUser
Native froyo wifi tethering
WyContacts 1.2 and XDA Dialer 30.1 (turn to silence, blacklist, many other features)
CM 6.1 Email app and wallpapers
Launcher Pro 0.8.5
Some build.prop tweaks
Same enhancements that are claimed for B160 (better call quality, better wireless, better camera)
Installation will not format /data or remove apps from /cust. For some roms (unicom in particular) this will cause problems due to some incompatibilities, and will require a factory reset to function correctly.
BIG THANKS to genokolar for creating the new kernel
Requirements
Clockworkmod recovery (available here)
Should be compatible with all rom and cust versions, though as stated some will require a factory reset. Please post your findings.
Downloads
Complete rom with all fixes and 1.5Ghz kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/0HR8W3BMUR (updated 15/5/11)
Update with all fixes and 1.5GHz kernel http://www.multiupload.com/OISOHEHTDP
1.8Ghz Kernel (use above download to revert to 1.5GHz kernel): http://www.multiupload.com/T7C4N0Q1CQ
Installation
Copy update.zip to your sdcard
Boot to clockworkmod recovery
(Optional) Perform a full backup [see note 2]. After backing up reboot recovery (in the advanced menu)
Apply update from sdcard
After update is compete wipe dalvik cache (in the advanced menu)
Reboot to system. First boot will be slow as it rebuilds the dalvik cache so be patient, successive boots will be back to normal.
(Optional) If everything is fine delete the backup from step 3 and if you like do another backup
Notes
By default the kernel is set to the default cpu governor and clock speed. If you would like to overclock I suggest using setcpu (available here)
Be aware that after applying this you won't be able to restore the full backup unless you either revert to the original rom, or change the boot image. The purpose of the backup is instead to have a backup of /data just in case something goes wrong.

Not good with CUSTC205D001 Finland Elisa, swype force closes constantly

That's a shame, can you try deleting libswypecore.so from /system/lib ?

Great rom. My phone has no problems with 1.5ghz launcher pro is an awesome inclusion I l love the sideways home screen.

When first boot takes over 30min what do you recommend?
EDIT: Power Cycle did the trick. I did a batterystats wipe and fixed permissons before first boot maybe thats why it hanged. I upgraded from general to stockwells 136 and then this.

Thanks for this great ROM!
The only thing I noticed is that the camera has bad colors. Can somone confirm?
Thanks!

Market appears to be broken now.
Edit - Looks like it had more to do with my crappy internet situation at the time than anything else. Market is working.

Mine was freezing when running at 1500, tuned it down to 1200 and working like a charm so far

My phone won't sleep after flashing this... Did a backup before flashing, but a restore won't help. Suggestions?
How do I go back to stock ROM?

No, I does have exactly the same problem, I think its caused by kernel panic, and then fails to continue the boot process.
And if you remove the Sdcard you cant boot

It sounds like you have to go back to 2.1 with pccompanion and do all the things from the start.......

I flashed a new ROM, forgot to full wipe, worst experience of my life

Oh man the terror.
I got that when i first flashed GDX.
I nearly had a heart attack!
-----------------
- Swift -, formerly known as IrishStuff09

I tried every latest releasing ROM.
Use it for a day or two, then flash back to LEWA OS v4
Thing i got in LEWA OS v4 is the Ram cleaning button in the notification widget.
Moreover i got the three buttons by touching the status bar , useful sometimes.
When using some app like UC Browser , you can't minimize it for anything because ram is full and if you minimize it , it closes and do not recover on maximizing.
But in LEWA you can pull Notification bar and clean ram while using the browser and then minimize it.
And this works ....

Flashed minicm9 from GDX, wiped everything except system, took 10 mins to boot, was afraid that boot loop occurred .
Then I installed supercharger and Rohin's tweaks, and it took 15 mins to boot...
Scariest 25 mins in a switchover I ever had...

First custom rom is GingerDX....
it's take 3 month to make decision coz scarred of bricked my X8

Why? Your tweaks sped up ICS so much, it probably saved me 30 hours by now . The only troublesome part is first boot, because I have an odd boot script that does something to newly installed applications, not sure where it came from
And Supercharger deleted my dalvik cache, so I had 170 applications for the boot script :banghead:

This looks very promising. We should have this thread be a central location to report tweaks that do/do not work all that well with our Epics.
HDPI it is.

Great find, some tweaks worked for me and others did not. I'm not seeing any difference in music performance after flashing the sony walkman tweaks.

Yeah I found it on youtube by some dev called smokey droid I think. He also had a video about free magic jack that doesn't use your minutes in the google play store. Anyone that can see tweaks or mods that don't work just let us know in the thread or pm me and I will get it in the op. Thanks guys

In the GUI a lot of stuff didn't show up such as themes inverted Google apps etc.... But I can say which is funny I use the battery saving mod and when my phone turns back on its at 1% it was at 42% don't know how it dropped 41%.
Sent from your phone.....turn around.....

So, I'm not sure of the culprit yet, but I enabled
all of the Init.d tweaks
all of the build.prop tweaks
Enabled some of the "features" (Enable hardware video acceleration, Disable Android logger, JIT for dalvik, disable usage-sending)
tweaked the Multitasking settings (Medium, Medium, 128, yes, yes)
Replaced GPS file
Enabled all Speed & Stability Settings
Now my device wont boot. Not sure if it matters, but I had flashed the new gapps in the same CWM session. If I figure out the offending tweak, I'll let you know. My boot posts with the splash screen and the loading bar, and never reaches my boot animation and hangs on a black screen with softkeys & keyboard lit (when slid out).
I'm running CM10 Nightly 1010 with NexusModemAIO patch & didhy's nitest kernel.

Installed and went through fine. But didn't install the Sony Walkman app or stay awake. Have tried installing the Walkman app through root explorer didn't work that way either. Is it just something to do with cm10? Running cm10 nightly 1014

Can you give us feedback on what tweaks you installed? We're trying to gather some data as to which tweaks do and do not work.

Did you do a clean install including dalvic cache and factory reset? Also there are aosp custom android versions you can click and stock versions you can select. Did you download the HDPI zip in the op, one more thing I did a full wipe and installed cm10 along with gapps and nitestkernel with ns4g roam fix, and didn't reboot right when it was done but went to the main menu in cwm then rebooted. Maybe try that

Just did a few tweaks, WiFi , touchscreen, battery. The battery hasn't changed any was at 100% before and after I rebooted was at 35% and drained ridiculously. But WiFi seems better can go outside and stay connected a little better, and I guess I'm on stock 2012101014 haven't flashed any custom kernels or modems just flashed cm10 nightly and 7/26 black gapps. New on this phone lol, and had gotten Walkman to install from here but would constantly close no errors though. Also before flashing Aroma I wiped cache/ dalvik cache. Hope this helped
Edit: after clean install factory reset, caches wiped flashed ROM and gapps , tried same tweaks and apps the semc albums app was installed but no Walkman , if you could post flashable zip would appreciate , just like it better than Apollo music thanks

I tried touchwiz gb but not cm7 yet and I can confirm the wifi tweak doesn't work and another big big thing is wipe dalvic cache and all the cache. It may freeze at around 14% complete just do a battery pull and go again. I am currently running the latest Kang Jellybean and literally did all the tweaks and it has been running flawless and battery life is great along with data speeds so maybe try that guys. I didn't write these mods just found them in xda so we can all learn together. Thanks epic dudes I love this phone! Lol

Also there is a great program on marketplace that fixes issues with downloads called download all files it usually is only needed on tw but another issue may be the free space you have so possibly delete unused files that may be encumbering your epic that might fix it too

Not sure why this fixes it, but it did. Thanks buddy!

My rom has random reboots after I used this, it sucks in my opinion, only think that might have improved is the wifi/data tweaks. Battery life is the same, i didn't even mess with ram or kernel, everything was running fine, I was dumb to install it in the first place, but I hope others have improved performance with it.

I have the same problem, and the exact same button
I think the led behind that button is not working anymore...

Try to install the CM as indicated in the topics (respect the steps). Do it from begining carefully (flash the stock ROM).

If I understood right you wanna install CM7.2. For that to work is good that after flashing stock ROM and installing 2ndinit to reboot and from stable recovery to format data/cache and dalvik on ext3 followed by flashing custom CM7.2 (I suggest you to try another CM7.2 mod).

Thanx for the reply

I didn't messed with buttons lights, and still got 3 burned LEDs. The first to go was "search". A month after that, the "menu" button went dark. Now the "back" is gone too. Just "home" remains with light. I don't think it's a software issue... More likely a project flaw or bad manufacturing (I still use CM7, no tweaks).
Last week I also got a "stain" (a lot of bad pixels) on the center of the screen. Just turned the phone off and put it in the freezer for 12 hours. After that, it was new again (lucky me). Yeah, the famous trick works folks (unfortunally, not for the capacitive LEDs though).

I'm inclined to agree. It seems fairly common. My menu button LED failed when my Defy+ was around 6 months old and completely stock. I put it down to a hardware failure.

Time for me to claim the Warranty
I will unroot the device and will claim the warranty...!! :good: But only problem is I have to wait untill the device returns back and have to use that ****sung again sorry Typo Samsung* :crying:
