Can someone point me in the direction of a flashable stock kernel? I can't seem to find one, and i prefer running custom roms, but with the stock kernel.
If I cant find one, does someone mind building one for me from source? I would really appreciate it. If you could build it, and send me the zimage with the libs, I could do the rest.
Also, would packing the boot.img from the stock rom into a flashable zip work on CM, AOKP or other custom roms? I know they change some things that make the stock kernel and components unusable, just curios.
I started to set up a build machine, but my pc does NOT have the resources necessary. I have to run linux on a VM and I only have 2gb of ram. Naturally, that makes things crawl.
Thanks for the help.
Dude... Look on the stickies. Use the search function or Google. Don't be lazy. You are obviously not a complete idiot, so use the resources available to you. This device has been around for awhile so there is a stock kernel here in the forums.

No need to be sorry. Most of us are more than willing to help. But you gotta make an effort to help yourself. Sorry I came off as a d**k. Just how I am. You can ask almost anyone from the E4GT forums about me.

Yeah, unfortunately I wasn't clear in what I wanted, or I didn't ask correctly. But I did do a little more research after posting and found what I wanted. Although I had to make it myself, as I couldn't find anything like it.
Most kernels are packaged with the kernel and the ramdisk (boot.img). If you run an aosp Rom, you can use the stock boot.img. if you run a CM Rom, you can run a CM boot.img (modified ramdisk).
Now, I want to run the stock android kernel, on a CM Rom. I couldn't find ANYTHING that has that. They all have CM kernels, or variants of, but no stock, from source kernel. Any kernel reset zips include the stock libs and ramdisk which is incompatible with CM (bootloop).
To solve this, I unpacked the stock boot.img (zImage and ramdisk), put the zImage together with Koush AnyKernel, modified the updater-script for the N7 and boom, it worked.
The reason I can run the stock kernel on a CM Rom, is because I didn't mess with the ramdisk. So I can now run ANY Rom with my stock kernel, because I don't mess with the ramdisk.
Make sense? Sorry I wasn't clear before.

Makes perfect sense. Although, I believe that most custom kernels, including stock based ones can run almost any ROM including CM especially if you are using multirom . Once I get my N7 fixed tonight I will be able to dive into it and find out exactly what I am using because I have no problem with the 6 or 7 ROMs I have on my device.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Thank you.
You're right, I can run any custom kernel on any Rom, but I could never get a stock kernel zip, to not throw CM into a loop. And all kernel devs, who have kernel reset zips, use a disclaimer saying you can't use on CM based roms. I don't fully understand why

Introduction
I've had my I9100G for more than a week now and to date there's no hint of anyone working on a custom ROM or mod for it. I guess we'll have to resign ourselves to the fact that it's not really a popular model for the regular devs and if we want to get some mods or custom roms on our phones, we have to do it ourselves. I'm currently working on customising my phone, but since I have a day job and little actual experience in Android, it's going to take some time before I can put anything out. So I'm inviting fellow I9100G users to join me in the effort to get some mods developed for the I9100G.
Kernel
Firstly, the kernel. AFAIK, there are two available kernels so far for the I9100G - KH4 (Android 2.3.4) and KI1 (Android 2.3.5). There are rooted versions for both, but as of now only the KH4 one has CWM recovery. In addition, Samsung has released the source code for the KH4, but I'm yet to find the source code for the KI1. I'l like to develop for the KI1, but without a source code and CWM recovery for the kernel, efforts are limited. So I appeal to anyone who knows where we can get the source code for KI1 or can help get CWM on the KI1, please respond!
Mods
So far I've deodexed my phone running on KI1 and managed to get the battery percentage mod on it using the UOT. That one's pretty simple. This weekend I hope to try some more mods like the Advance Power Menu, for one. Once I get that done, I'll share on xda. Appreciate suggestions on what mod we can apply that's useful, but too complicated. If anyone manage to produce mods for your I9100G, appreciate if you could share.
Hopefully once we have a few mods done for the I9100G, we can consolidate them into a custom ROM for our phone.
Let's work together to make our phone better!
I would like to join with little experience on android .
I understand our target is to make custom Rom for the g model, but do you think its we can make it possible to flash other i9100 custom roms with sgx 540 processor ?
Can we have a list of things to start with to acheive that?
Btw, i tried deodexeding and i didn't success. Any advice on this .
Thanks

Hi ss219100g,
We can't flash I9100 custom ROMs into the I9100G. I tried flashing VillainRom onto mine, but I couldn't make it work. Needs someone with more knowledge and experience, I suppose. All I can try right now is try to apply various modes I pick up from xda onto my phone.
So far I've managed to apply the Battery percentage and Advanced Power Menu mods. I'll share them later today. I'm still looking around for the next thing to try. Any suggestions?
For deodexing, I used xUltimate. The link's here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html
Basically, I copied the contents of /system/app and /system/framework to \origi_frame\ and \origi_app\, run the tool, then copied the results back onto the phone. Remember to delete the *.odex files in the phone.
hi, i one of the new sgs2g user.
i would like to join and hoping if we could ever make some custom rom for this version.
but i still noob bout android, and this is my first android phone.
i was able to root my dzki1 kernel, using insecure kernel and abd command, but unable to flash cwm recovery, is there way to flash it?
and other thing, what is deodex and odex? i try google,but could not understand

It's not the one from Odia's thread, is it? I tried that one but it's rooted, but doesn't have CWM.
so meaning to say that until to-date there are no available custom ROM for the GT-I9100G devices??

i did and that's normal, you get a yellow triangle because you installed an unofficial (insecure) rom or kernel, don't worry about it, it doesn't affect the stability of your phone in any way, it's just for saying that you have intalled a custom feature (rom or kernel)!
Hi, everyone!
I'm using samsung galaxy s i9000(international version)
I'm new in this forum. i would like to flash custom rom cuz the original one runs so slow. i would like some suggestion from you guys for which room i should flash, and how to flash it.
Thank
Look in the dev section for custom roms. The 2 popular ones to start with would probably be Darky or Docs. There's install instructions inside of those threads...

Docs Rom is not longer "Docs Rom", not it's called Rom kitchen, haven't tried the latest versions, but last time I used was very stable and reliable.
You can also try Ramad's deodexed stock roms.
You will need Odin, cf-root if you haven't rooted, and the files for the custom rom you want, most custom roms are flashed through CWM, which you get once you are rooted.
I always looked for an odexed rom on my old SGS1 when I was on a Samsung rom. Like Stock+ or Tornado.
Anyone willing to have a go because it's something that's missing from the SGS3 so far.
My own phone here has Stock LF2 odexed, franco kernel, LEA modem, Circle % battery mod, 4 way reboot, some bloatware removed, cell standby fixed, call recording, all just from mods posted here. If I knew how to I'd make and call it a rom I would !
There is a way, there is a program here on xda that makes a flashable rom zip directly from your phone... Can someone remember the name of it? Rom factory? :s

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It won't make any noticeable difference on this phone, and if it did it would only be during boot, when the phone is up and running there is no difference.
The reason that most custom roms are deodexed is because it makes it easier to customise and tweak app/UI etc etc
I've odexed my current rom using Paul O'Briens odex-me app ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514576) just to see if it causes any problems. 24 hours have passed and there's no problems. It's as smooth as. I didn't do any benchmarks so any improvement might be my imagination. You need a kernel with init.d support for the scripts to work.
Might be an insignificant speed boost but at least there's a way to do it.
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

trinity kernel
Hi
I am new to this and recently installed franco kernel on 4.3 Jelly Bean. I was wondering how do I change to Trinity kernel from TWRP menu I have installed on Nexus 4. I understand that I need Zip and then from TWRP I can install, but can anyone you has done it advice me?
I am looking for what I need to do in TWRP?
I am looking whether I need to go back to stock Google Kernel?

since you are coming from franco kernel, this is what you should do, via your recovery..
after you download what you need, reflash your rom(dont wipe a singe thing), the gapps(if needed), and then trinity kernel. then reboot. if you are coming from any other kernel, you dont need to reflash your rom, just flash the kernel in recovery then reboot
Thanks a lot
So in this case I should just install trinity kernel as I don't have any custom rom installed and no gapps. I hope I am right as all I did was just installed Franco kernel on stock phone and that's it!
Any cache erase etc etc before i flash new kernel?

no matter what anyone tells you, you NEVER have to wipe anything when flashing kernels, dont wipe dalvik, dont wipe cache.
well, its best to flash your rom again if coming from franco kernel, it changes your roms ramdisk. trinity grabs the available ramdisk. by reflashing your rom, trinity would grab your roms ramdisk instead of francos. but, most likely youll be fine just flashing trinity on top
Thanks again
When you say ROM, are you referring to stock ROM?
I guess I'm getting confused between which ROM you are asking me to reflash.

go to the roms main settings, developer options, force gpu rendering, disable the disable hw overlays if they are enabled. if you dont have a developer options in your main settings, press about phone, scroll down, press build number 7 times. when you get the you are a developer now message, go back to the main settings and go into developer options.
the reason this happens is because you are running stock, which is jwr(build version) and aosp is jss. they are slightly different(some different drivers). this difference cause this. most custom kernels are jss, aosp based. franco kernel is jwr, stock based. this difference does not happen often on a nexus. btw, jss is the newest version of android. the majority of custom roms are also jss.
OK this is what I have done
I have dine as you had told and checked the box that states "disable the he overlays"
This fixed my problem but I hope this doesn't have any other effect ..
How can I install the aosp built instead of jwr ?

One last thing i like to inquire is that to install the raspberry, they recommend clean wipe and then install gapps and rom. Would this erase my current backup of franco based system image i created in TWRP?
And If I wipe clean, how can I install the raspberry rom ..its all wiped isnt it!!!
Thanks @xthaparian and @simms22, I had already decided to take this weekend to try some stuff on mine, but your tries made me more forward to do it. I must confess of all my past androids N4 is, for obvious reasons, the one which has more releases to try, and ofc a lot of tricks in the way..

no, your nandroid backup stays, your data gets erased though. its like starting fresh. the storage wont get touched(dont wipe the system). as soon as you log in, go through the google setup, your play store apps should start reinstalling(if you enable it). most roms will jave this or something similar written in the op.

Let's see the performance .
One thing I noticed is that this kernel jas all 4 cores running and max is capped at 1024hz.
Also the governor is set to ondemand.
Any thoughts on this. Any other tweaks I should do to make it much better. Franco kernel was using interactive governor.
Also the GPU is ocd to 485 and stock is 400 max.
Any comments to tweak the kernel better or Tue stock setting are good!
