Nexus s Kernel - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
So I just compiled the nexus s kernel from source and flashed it on my phone. Now I want to tweak things up a bit. I was wondering though, what are some of the major things that one should change if he or she wants to build a custom kernel?
Thanks!

Overclock, governors, undervolting, CIFS, TUN, Maybe sexy boot animations? , BLN, voodoo color and sound, 1000hz, coolbho300's sleep fix, NFS, BFS builds.
Maybe support for more touches than 5?

SBC (only if you know what you are doing)

Hi,
Thanks for your input. I just want to undervolt it and include the voodoo sound and color for now. How exactly can I accomplish this?
Thanks!

Or just read the guide by supercurio on how to implement Voodoo Color -_-

Can you give me the link to the guide?

lagfix

I can't recall with all of the posts lately, but is there a voodoo lagfix for our beloved sgs4g? is there something stopping it from being applied? My coworker just got a charge and has a custom rom and kernel with lagfix already...
Just wondering if i missed something.
Nope, not ported over yet. Do you need it that bad? My phone is flying with the bali kernel coupled with the fugu mod, and if i wanted to OC it to 1.3-5.
Lagfix would be sick

I'm sort of experiencing lag as well, but how are you overclocking?
Tegrak wouldn't let me do it, nor would SetCPU. It wouldn't go over 1GHZ.
~little off topic, sorry
u have to have one of the bali kernels installed and then u can use tegrak. Set cpu will not work. I have also applied the fugu fix and have bali 1.4 and Tegrak has me oc'd at 1.3!

I already have the Bali kernel, and it looks like Tegrak all of the sudden works...
hmpf.
fugu fix (CWM Flashable 0.1) doesn't seem to have helped that much, maybe a tiny bit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020196
should i follow the steps inside that post to overclock? or are there new steps...
sorry about the off-topic discussion again, this is my last post, i promise
Yeah setcpu does work once you've changed the frequencies in tegrak first.
I used tegrak on stock kernel overclocked to 1.4 and was also using set cpu before I flashed bali. All is still working w/ bali even set cpu.

Those using Tegrak, once you changed the settings, did your phone started to vibrate nonstop??? I had to pull out the battery. Did the fugu tweaks, and have latest bali kernel. Is it supposed to vibrate like that?? Thanks for the help

mine did not, i get a vibrate at loading module then when i set the speed i get another vibrate. thats it. what are you trying to OC your phone at?
Mine did the constant vibrate once, although I don't recall what I was doing prior. Holding down the power button forced a reboot. Never happened again.
Also you will need to raise your voltages if you are going to go higher than 1.3 with pro.

I don't need it... I might deere a tiny bit of lag once in a while. I have linked it to the weekly Lookout scan so it's nothing to worry about. I, just wanted to ensure that I didn't miss anything. Thanks for the replies.

I'm trying to get the same settings as u guys nothing drastic. Just want to learn where on tegrak you changed the controls. I am a bit confuse because there are like five levels of CPU under optimization not sure which one to touch. Just trying to oc 1.3 or 1.5 like I read some of yous have. Thanks for your help.

Tsugi Rom-Anyone have access to UV rom?

Hey guys,
Searched the original page here, couldn't find an answer. So here's my question. Now that the US govt has done it and shut down websites, I was just wondering, would anyone happen to have a copy of the Tsugi ROM that's been undervolted?
If not, could someone point me to guides on how to undervolt and maybe even the ideal settings for overclocking using setcpu?
Thanks in advance!
You can get the Tsugi UV kernel on ROM Manager.

Questions from a noob. Is this different from the undervolted file? What do I do with each file? Substitute them for the installation guide on the front page of the tsugi rom guide?
the one that i linked to on 2shared is the overclocked undervolted file. ideally you should flash the ROM first through CWM, and then the kernel through CWM. try the undervolted file, if its stable, then keep it, if its not stable, try the one that is just overclocked and not undervolted.

Kinda new to the world of flashing. How do you distinguish between the rom and the kernel?
in the development thread for the G2x, the rom threads start with [ROM], that would be the easiest way.

Wait. So that file you gave me. Does it have the rom and kernel, or just one?
ETA: The link the dev provides here has a download link to a "smartinstaller." is that the ROM? And the oyasumi 0.1 UV is the kernel, right?
Gah. This is stuff is confusing but interesting to learn!

correct, the TSUGI rom has a smart installer that does everything for you. it simply installs the ROM. afterwards, its suggested that you get the oyasumi KERNEL.
ROM is most analogous to an operating system, and kernel allows the operating system to interact with the hardware. you need to install the two separately. ROM first, and then kernel.

How about creating a separate thread for that question instead of hijacking mine? Or better yet, search around. I've chosen to use Tsugi because of its reputation for stability and battery life.
Sorry I'm new to this obviously thanks for the help

If you don't mind me asking, how is it that the 'UXCLF5' Kernel works with the AT&T 'Skyrocket' variant phones? I thought the Rogers & AT&T phones were slightly different, just as the international version's hardware is different. Correct me if I'm wrong!
This is all new to me as I'm just beginning to understand what's going on here, and I'm very interested in delving into custom ROM development.
Thank you sir

I don't think we'll see a changelog for this. I'm flashing it and will look for diffs, e.g., whether or not touch key lights stay on - obeying the phone's always on setting. Right now, only Mohan's kernel offers a fix for this.

The I727UCLF5 kernels (both flavors) do not fix the touch keys always on issue.
Back to Mohan's Cymbaline 1.3.
Can someone conform that bootanimation are working. I can't make them work. I make ton of them and have knowlage how to but on unsecure or stock no go on bootanimation.
Sean, how difficult would it be to put certain working files from Kernels like CymBaline (or the source it was built from) and inject them into a kernel like the one in this thread? Basically fixing the issues that still exist in the skyrocket kernels. Would having the source code from the Cymbaline build, but not from the syrocket build be an opstical? I am just wondering if it could be done. TIA.
Yes and no. But It wouldnt be from ice source. Ics nor ics source Has been released,yet. Or well ..its complicated..
But soon ican assure you

Also does anyone know how to remove the blue tile affect on the home screen? I'm using Nova

Need more info. Are you stock? If not, do you run a custom kernel?
I used to use kickassv2 governor for overclocking at 1504MHz using KAT kernel, which is pretty awesome. But you need an overclockable kernel.

I have eos and kat.
Check my sig for the overclock link. Then use kickassv2 (or is it smartassv2? I forget...) from the governors list.

[REQ]Stock kernel + gamma + faux sound.

Hello all.
I am not sure in which forum I needed to create this thread, so I picked Q&A.
I have a request to the kernel developers.
Can someone build the stock 4.4.2 kernel + gamma hack + faux sound + fast charge + tcp congestion ?
I want this because in my experience stock 4.4.2 kernel is the best. But living without the 4 adds i described it misses something
I hope someone will do this!
Thanks!
Happy Holidays.
Great idea. I think the same as you :thumbup:
