Problems after installing Merruk on Chobits

I have installed merruk kernel through odin on my galaxy y which has Chobits digitalis v2 and it started behaving oddly
1) FC's
2) Sudden reboots
3) Bootanimation is changing colurs from cyan to red
4) Overheating
5) Very poor performance
I went back to stock rom and kernel for time being but I want to know why it happened that way?
Please help
Thanks in advance

1) What superuser app you had? SuperSU gives FCs with merruk
2) Wierd. Merruk is pretty much stable. Much be some problem in your end.
3) Thats chobits random boot animation script lol. Its intended to change
4) Same as 2nd answer
5) Its the best performance kernel out there. You mustve done something wrong.
To debug your problem, can you describe more about the issues?

Thanks I understood the problem now I flashed ext4.zip when it wasn't required and I had SuperSU

[Q] MT Kernel installation

Guys, what are the step by step instructions for installing MT Kernel 2.5?
I really cannot install it, I already tried flashing it via odin but my phone just crashes. Please help me guys.
Thank you in Advance guys!

Try mai77's method (flashing via CWM). It's in the second post of the kernel's thread (by ronnieryan). Make sure you've flashed to stock firmware first.

I already did that. My phone just freezes in Samsung Galaxy Young Logo and after that, I cannot open the recovery mode.
Uhm, Is it recommended that I also include PIT and Bootloader in odin while flashing?

Nope. NOT Recommended to use PIT/Bootloader/re-partition in odin.
Installing with ext4 system and cache could be tricky, Id recommend to flash to stock ROM before flashing the kernel.
1) Flash back to stock ROM
2) Go to recovery, flash CWM to get CWM recovery
3) Backup using backup and restore
4) Flash ext4converter.zip and reboot
5) Go to download mode
6) Flash the latest merruk kernel using odin
7) Now go to CWM, backup and restore -> Advanced restore -> Restore System
8) Wait till it completes
9) Reboot and your stock ROM will now boot
10) You can flash ANY custom ROM you wish and do any modifications.
Thats it, this worked for me

Oh thanks for the response. I already installed the kernel but I have a question. My galaxy y is having a random shutdown, do you know the reason why? And another question, what applications are you using to undervolt and to manage the cpu of your galaxy y?

Same here, my phone does random reboot, too. I'm still in patience because the kernel hasn't been finished yet.
I'm using No-frills CPU Control to manage CPU and CPU spy to monitor it.

Hey, try setting your governor to ondemand (I was using ondemandx previously) and min. frequency to 312 MHz. My phone has lasted for nearly a day without rebooting, I just did it manually to update the kernel to developer edition version 8.

Guys just tick the option prevent other apps from changing the frequency in settings in No Frills CPU....
Because smtimes after deepsleep the phn frequency automaticalky changes to 156 mhz....
So it will not reboot automatically..
And keep its frequency greater than 312 to avoid frequent rebooting because armv6 processor supports frq greater than 300mhz....

Guys, I already solved the auto shutdown problem. I reflashed the kernel because the first time I flashed it, I am on Merruk Kernel 2.0 Pre-final. Now I flashed it on stock. I got it solved and I set 312 Mhz minimum on no frills using smartassv2 and vr.
By the way, I will flash the version 8 now.

Galaxy Y crashing and turning on itself

Hello. So, I was using the default ROM for my Galaxy Y, everything in factory settings, and then it started rebooting a few weeks ago. So I tried and installed a custom ROM (BeautySense), but it didn't solve the problem.
The strangest thing is: when I put on the battery, the cell phone turns on all by itself, I don't need to press the power button for it to turn on, and when the cell phone is on, when I press the power button to lock the screen, nothing happens.
Anyone has any idea what might the problem be?
Thanks.

don't worry

it has nothing to do with the software its a hardware problem it can be one of thees two:
1.the power button is stack and that will explain why you can't lock the screen and the reboot because you are making him power off and then power on
2.the battery keeps moving form inside the case causing it to shutdown and then start by it self which happens with a lot of phone like my note 2 and y duos
report to me after you chick step 1 and step 2
press thx if i helped :fingers-crossed:

Hello. It did help, but I don't think the problem is the battery moving. As for the power button being stuck, I'd already thought of it, but I don't know how to fix it. Apparently it is not stuck, but maybe it is stuck on the inside. In that case, how can I be sure?
Thanks.

It's a 90% hardware problem scenario.... But why don't you try changing to another kernel? (any stable kernels like hells fusion, jarvis, savie etc)
If it still reboots then u will be damn sure it's the power button problem.

you can try flashing a kernel because when my phone fell in the bathroom i opened it my self and i lost my volume Button so i prefer that you keep the opening of phone as the last Solution :fingers-crossed:

Try to flashing with new kernel if it didn't work i think it's hardware problem

Solution
Many replies stated just to flash kernel.
Actually, you have to flash a kernel and then flash ROM.
If you do the reverse, you will stuck in bootloop.
The instability of the kernel is the cause.
Also do not install too many tweaks, which also causes some stability issues.
Over Clocking in some kernels also cause this restarting problem.
Solution: Flash Kernel and then flash the ROM
If it doesn't work, it is surely the hardware problem.
Press thanks button if I have helped you!

this is not true
for stock based roms flash rom then flash kernel - this is because kernel has things like wifi driver that needs to be flashed after the rom however it doesnt matter if you do it the other way round - you can always flash the wifi driver seperately
for cm based roms you need to flash kernel first in order to format your system to ext4 in order to install the rom if not already on ex4 system partition

Thanks

Nexus 4 Kernel

Hello, guys and girls.
So, I'm not an expert like most of you. I need help.
I will explain you what happend with my Nexus 4: I installed CyanogenMod 11 with the installer some weeks ago. Yesterday, I installed an app called "Touch Control", which would allow my phone to have Knock On feature. But it installed a kernel that would make this work. That kernel have MANY bugs, such as Wi-Fi do not work and changed colors. My phone does not have internet, because I don't have mobile data.
I do not have TWRP or CWM, just the simple CyanogenMod Recovery. And I can't install anything because of internet (I can copy .apk to my phone and insall it).
Here is what I would by happy to do: change that kernel to the default one (I didn't make its backup) or to any other kernel that works.
Ask, please, for any detail that can help.
Thank for you to reading my post.
Just something else: I don't want Knock On feature anymore. I just wan't my phone working properly.

What you did was install a AOSP kernel on a CM rom, that does not work well as you might have noticed, you need to dirty flash CM11 to get the default kernel back.

I have a question: when I flash CM11, will the kernel be replaced? I heard that the kernel in Android phones is separate from the operating system.

Yes it will, all roms come paired with a kernel otherwise they would not boot.
When you dirty flash CM11 it will replace ur /system and /boot(this is where the kernel is) but it will leave ur /data and /sdcard so your apps and settings remain.

Thanks, I will try this.

The most easy way to get back to stock kernel (no matter which android u currently have) is to use a toolkit like Wugfresh and select the stock kernel option.
Only think u need is a pc with internet and the phone to be connected with the cable.

Battery life & kernel ambasadi rom i9505

I wanted to get imperial kernel v3.3 since they added a google services battery fix
Ran script wiped etc... Phone just stays on model number inital boot screen. :0 This also happened on a stock root rom i tried.
Hybridmax works great but ive got passive battery drain and its a bit outdated. With hulk i cant get wifi working Maybe if tw v2 comes out itll work!? . Kushan seems unstable.
I was hoping imperial would patch the problem yet still no changes :/
any advice?

Try this.
*Update your recovery.
*download the zip again
*flash the file
*clear cache and dalvinks.
*remove the battery and keep it away for 1 min or so.
*place the battery again and turn the phone on
Revert.

I tried your advice before with no results.
Im guessing if trying on a clean install of a different rom had the same problem then the issue lies in a strange place
The other rom was a stock with root :0 so im guessing king of similar to what im running now. Maybe the stock roms have some problems ?
