No matter what I tried via kernel modules (mmcfix), I was not able to fix the issues with writing to certain sdcards under 2.6.29 kernel (of our 'vulnerable' recovery that we use to start OpenRecovery).
So I decided to give a try to 2ndboot from 2.6.29 to 2.6.32 kernel under recovery.
Here is a version of OpenRecovery 1.46 that runs under custom 2.6.32 kernel using 2ndboot:
Download: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=OpenRecovery_2ndbootOR_v1_2.zip
Fixes:
- all issues with writing to some sdcards under recovery ("DMA transaction error with device 61" in dmesg)
- missing huge_file feature of ext4 filesystem under recovery
New features:
- battery charging under recovery
Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
The start of OpenRecovery with 2ndboot takes a bit longer, so be patient.
You can see a phone reboot during the start of OR under certain conditions - it's intentional, just wait, the OR will start automatically afterwards.
Kernel source: https://github.com/nadlabak/kernel/tree/recovery
UPDATE 30.01.2013
- prevent watchdog reboot (by automatic reboot of recovery if it was not started via /cache/recovery/command)
- use 10% battd for better compatibility with 3rd party batteries
- modversion set to 2ndbootOR v1.2
UPDATE 03.11.2012
- kernel and 2ndboot files updated (2.6.32.60, L2 cache enabled etc.)
- patches by justcsdr from issue #773 included (power off, mass storage with complete access to all sdcard partitions etc.)
- modversion set to 2ndbootOR v1.1
UPDATE 26.09.2012 (2)
- fixed linker issues - IMPORTANT! please update from the previous version
- modversion set to 2ndbootOR v1.0
UPDATE 26.09.2012
- battery charging and status display added
UPDATE 23.09.2012
- workaround for occasionally non-working adb
- clean kernel build (no change in functionality)
UPDATE 21.09.2012:
- fixed backup of logo, bpsw, lbl and devtree partitions
- added 2ndboot splash screen
Seems to be working for me. No issues
Sorry for the dumb question, but what is the purpose of this OR?

Kabaldan I have one question.
Is there possibility to run rom on this second kernel? Maybe this is the way to make kernel more complatible for rom
Just a suggestion/question - can't you change version numbers so not to confuse new 1.46 with old 1.46?

DJ,
As far as I understand, Rom already runs on this "second" kernel. This second kernel is the Motorola Froyo Kernel, recovery was using an older kernel to boot. Both are signed by motorola, so, it is not a custom kernel.
It actually is a custom kernel (2.6.32.59), not signed by Motorola (the last kernel released by Motorola for Milestone is 2.6.32.9 from early 2011).
Check 'cat /proc/version' and see when it was compiled .
You could even use swap with this kernel, if it would make sense under recovery .
But you're right that it's not the main point - this OR release is about recovery to be run under 2.6.32 kernel to achieve reliability in sdcard operations, which was not possible under 2.6.29 kernel of our old recovery.
The problem with 2ndboot (or kexec) method to run custom kernel is that there is no known way to get the Wrigley 3G BP working afterwards (BP = Baseband Processor - the gsm/umts phone features).
This is fine under recovery as the phone functionality is not needed there.
But there's no known way to run a custom kernel on Milestone (or any other Wrigley 3G BP phone such as Defy(+), Milestone 2 etc.) while the device would still be able to function as a phone.
Thanks for the update. Seems to be working fine. Console, nandroid backup/delete (haven't tried restoring yet), scripts...
Btw., indeed very nice 2nd boot splash image
Thank you
Thank you for this update, everything is working just fine!
the dl-link does not work for me. could you reupload it, please?
As dev-host seems to be off-line, I've uploaded new update to issue-tracker site
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...nRecovery_v1_46_SHOLS_2ndboot_2_6_32_kern.zip
UPDATE 23.09.2012
- added workaround for occasionally non-working adb
- clean kernel build (no change in functionality)
Thanks for the reply. I've seen some issues with radio an other roms who runs on "second kernel". Now everything is clear 4 me.
Cheers
battery charging under recovery added

Maybe?: Final Note
Hello everybody,
I'm sad to announce that my Galaxy Y has died on me.
Not completely, but the USB port seems to have died on my phone.
Charging through the connector still seems to work, but other then that the device is not recognized by any computer anymore.
I know a lot of you are thinking of drivers right now, but this is not the problem.
Not even the phone detects anymore when it's connected to the phone.
This renders the device rather useless for developing as a USB port is really important in this case certainly when having a bad kernel.
I have three options left right now.
- First option would be to hand over the complete development to another developer owning this device. Of course I will help you get started with my sources so you can get started where I left.
The second and third option is up to the community
- If there is anybody in the community who knows somebody who doesn't use the Galaxy Y anymore or is willing to donate his/her own phone this would help out a lot as then I can continue myself in this development.
- Or if anyone could spare some money you could also donate it to me over PayPal. These donations will only go towards buying a second hand Galaxy Y, and will be evenly divided between all donates all money which is left in this case will be reimbursed evenly to everyone who donated to me.
Whichever everyone chooses, I want to let everybody know I enjoyed developing for this community.
Greetings PsychoGame
Big Update: First alpha release for CM7.2 Samsung Galaxy Y (GT-S5360) Alpha 5

}
Installation instructions are simple:
If you are not working with my kernel:
- Flash my provided boot2.tar file to you're phone using odin (You can download the boot2.tar from here)
If already on my kernel:
- Download the cyanogenmod5.zip file from my dev-host: here (Older releases can be found later in the post!)
- Download the Google Apps from here
- Copy the cyanogenmod.zip and the downloaded gapps file to somewhere on your SD-Card
- Boot in CMW by holding (Volume UP + Select) button while powering up.
- In CWM go to Mounts and Storage first and format /system, /data and /cache.
- Go back to main menu in CWM and choose install zip from sdcard and choose zip from sdcard.
- Apply cyanogenmod.zip
- After installation also apply the gapps-... from here
- Do a wipe data/factory reset from the CWM main menu and reboot the phone
- Be patient while the phone boots for the first time, the phone needs to build up the dalvik cache.
- When fully booted happy testing , and don't forget to report you're findings and bugs.
What works:
- Audio
- Bluetooth (Partially: The device is able to scan for other devices and is also found by other bluetooth devices. Sending files works, receiving does not)
- Camera (Partially: Can take pictures but unable to record film material For more info look at: "known bugs")
- Display "Hardware Accelerated" (Also with some small bugs and glitches, look at "Known bugs")
- GPS
- Input
- Lights
- Network interfaces (Mobile internet)
- Power management
- Radio (Phone "Incoming and Outgoing calls")
- Sensors
- Storage
- Vibrator
- Wifi
What doesn't work:
- Media, media_profiles.xml is included, but the OMX interface still needs to be properly ported which is a WIP.
Known bugs:
- Display: Sometimes there appear to be some glitches. This is known, and due to the usage of a released test binary. I'm currently working myself to reverse engineer the test binary released by BroadCom and the proprietary binary included in the GT-S5360 to come up with a hopefully fixed driver.
- Camera: Still has the white screen bug in the preview of what you're taking a picture of. This is not easily fixable, but will do my best. Movie recording is not yet possible as codecs still need to be included in my build.
Troubleshooting:
Sometimes the Google Apps are giving some troubles with Force Quitting etc., a solution for this is to boot to recovery, clear the cache and dalvik cache and after this do a Fix permissions from the Advanced menu. When rebooting the boot process will take a little longer because the dalvik cache needs to be rebuild.
When anybody has some problems getting it to install through my instructions feel free to ask help in this topic.

Changelog for Alpha 2:
Bugs Fixed:
- Not all apps had a ldpi overlay. This has been fixed in the last build I forgot to set the overlay in my full_totoro.mk
- USB Mount didn't work in android. This has also been fixed, I forgot to add the string "file" in the path to the lun file. USB mounting now works as it should work.
- Somebody pointed out that MAC address in the settings wasn't set correct. I researched this problem and it was indeed a bug in my build. This has been fixed now by including the get_macaddrs script in /system/bin. The MAC address wasn't correct because the RIL didn't pass through the MAC address.
Added functionality:
- Compcache has been added to this build. Standard it isn't enabled. To enable this you have to go to: Settings -> CyanogenMod -> Performance -> Compcache. You can choose to allocate 10, 18 or 26 percent. The most recommended value I believe is 18%, but using compcache also has some downfalls. See here for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZRam
- Wireless Hotspot. This has been tested by me, and I can confirm this function is working perfectly. USB Tethering will be supported hopefully next week.
Changelog for Alpha 2.1:
Bugs Fixed:
- Small fix, I changed the system.prop this week, and in the process forgot to put the ro.telephony.ril_class=samsung option back in the system.prop which results in no incoming calls.
Changelog for Alpha 2.2:
Bugs Fixed:
- Big breakthrough, Headset Support Working. A name in the /system/lib/modules folder of the file brcm_headsetsw.ko had to be bcm_headsetsw.ko. This was why the kernel didn't swich to headset. This was a bug which had slipped my eye as the module name is wrong when compiled from kernel source. This is now completely fixed. And as far as I know this phone doesn't have the Headset Volume Bug. At least not on my phone. Credits go to bluestarfish who pointed this out.
Changelog for Alpha 3:
Bugs Fixed:
- Reverted my system.prop so the tweaks from my first build are included again. Also added some extra tweaks which should reduce the graphics glitches.
- Unsure if GT-S5360L is now able to boot. I haven't got this phone myself, so I can't test it. If it's not working sent me a PM I'll add you on GTalk so we can communicate more easy and fix.
Added functionality:
- Camera: You are able to take pictures, only movie recording is still not possible. This will be a project for later as I'm very busy with bluetooth at the moment.
- Bluetooth: Bluetooth is able to scan for devices and is able to be located by other devices. Pairing or sending from/ to the device is still not possible. Hopefully this will get fixed next week.
Changelog for Alpha 4:
Bugs Fixed:
- The Force Close issues have been resolved. So installing gapps now after CM7 is installed doesn't result in a Force Close error anymore. This is thanks to Gadgetroid.
- Proper apns-conf.xml file has been placed in the /system/etc folder, so this build contains almost all provider APN data now.
- Bluetooth has been made more stable. You can enable bluetooth now without Bluetooth crashing. You're now able to sent files to other devices, only receiving is still not possible. But were getting closer every build .
- Headset: Has been fixed again. My build sources got mixed up a little bit so bcm_headsetsw.so by accident got renamed to brm_headsetsw.so which rendered it unusable.
Added functionality:
- FileManager: The standard filemanager for CyanogenMod has been introduced into this build for everybody who was missing it.
Changelog for Alpha 5:
Bugs fixed:
- The compatibility issue with different basebands and GT-5360L has now been solved.
If you're on alpha 4 you dont need to download the whole alpha 5 again. Only use the boot2.tar provided above to flash the new kernel with Odin.

Greetings Psycho Game, and have a nice weekend everybody. My sources will be released to my Github next week, so I ask everybody to be patient for that .
Everything below here is old information, you can still read it though to get an idea of the project:
As I already said in another thread about a CWM included kernel I'm also working on a version of CyanogenMod myself with another approach than WhiteXP's build.
The problem is not anymore the availability of the drivers, because BroadCom released their drivers to the public.
In my opinion the next bottleneck is the Kernel. I didn't own a Galaxy Y myself at first (until 2 day's ago), but I recently bought one to make it easier to test different configurations.
My main phone is a Samsung Galaxy S Plus which already has a realy stable CM9 version, but also the kernel is already updated to version 3 from 2.6.35.14.
This is also my goal ultimatly, but the Galaxy Y uses RFS filesystem in combination with FSR. These are closed source modules from Samsung, which make it difficult to update kernels.
There is a known hack that you can alter the version in the makefile of the kernel to 2.6.35.7 while it realy is patched up to 2.6.35.14, but i'm not very fond of such hacks.
I'm a daily linux user already since the year 2000 or so, and build many kernels for Linux computers from source. I can say I have good knowledge of the compilation proces and what's going on in the kernel.
Now back to what i'm doing at the moment:
I already converted the complete galaxy y to EXT4 file system, incl. the EFS partition, and yes I still have my IMEI data etc. so this is considered done [status: Complete]
Next step is getting rid of the RFS & FSR kernel modules, which are proprietary (RFS has been removed, only FSR remains for later. [status: WIP -> stalled]
At the moment I'm busy updating the kernel to version 2.6.35.14 the proper way, so I have a stable base kernel to build CM on [status: Complete]
After this I will add CWM recovery to the updated kernel, and make sure everything works as it should, like ADB in recovery mode, formatting, and all these things. (Only ADBD has to be fixed) [Status: 99% Complete]
When CWM recovery functions as it should work, the proces of building CWM into the Galaxy Y can begin [Status: WIP -> Stalled until kernel stable].
CM already compiles fully without much warnings, but still isn't ready to be released until all predecended steps have been completet.
At the moment I'm also uploading all sources of the kernel into github, so everybody can revieuw the proces i'm doing, and also point out mistakes maybe and give suggestions.
Update 1: Yes already an update. It's more difficult to work you're way around the FSR kernel modules. What I now want to do is convert the BML block layer (which uses the FSR modules) to MTD which is an opensource version of a Flash Transition Layer. I know this is possible, because it's also done on the Samsung Epic 4G. The only downside of this is that I cannot use the promised ext4 anymore on the final product, but I'm forced to use YAFFS2 filesystem (which is luckily also opensource).
Update 2 (1 Feb. 2013): Hello everybody. After almost a week I have another update on the Kernel modifications. I stalled the removal of the fsr module parts for now and started with the inclusion of the ClockWorkMod recovery in the kernel. The way I included the CWM recovery is other than Merruk and WhiteXP did. I left the stock recovery in place, and added the CWM on top of it. Standard it boots in the CWM recovery, but if for some reason you would need the stock recovery you can also call it. Just by leaving a file called .stock_recovery in the root of the /cache partition. So in short it contains 2 recovery's in one image. To make it all fit the InitramFS and kernel have been compressed using the lmza method. This allows for a smaller resulting boot.img file, but comes with a little extra boot time. When android has booted you don't notice any difference. Appart from this it's a stock kernel with ext4 included, and the rfs filesystem modules removed, so it's a ext4 kernel only! The completely changed initramfs can be found on my github over here: https://github.com/PsychoGame/totoro_initramfs_files.git so everybody can study what I've done.
Update 3 (8 Feb. 2013): Hello everybody. Again an update of my kernel, and a weekly build to test in the weekend . There have been some changes in this release, the most major change has been that the kernel has been patched from 2.6.35.7 to 2.6.35.14. Also a little change in the recovery.fstab stopped the nandroid backup from making a useless recovery.img. Also I now know for sure that it's possible to do a full nandroid restore. As long as the FSR modules still function also the boot.img backup will be restored. The only thing still not working is the Android Debugging Bridge in the recovery self. This seems to be a harder to tackle problem then I thought before. It seems that adbd is not working properly so it doesn't see the device. The new kernel can be obtained from here:
boot.tar (08/02/2013)
With this new 2.6.35.14 kernel you also need to have all other updated compiled modules which are available here:
Version14Modules.zip
These files should be placed in /system/lib/modules
This is not a CWM installable package at the moment because I'm a little bit busy at the moment, so this means you have to copy the files manually to the directory.
I recommend using ES File Explorer in which you need to have full read/write acces to the disk.
When anybody needs some extra help please let me know.
There are two small bugs at the moment:
- ADB still not working inside recovery
- Sometimes the touchscreen has a little problem getting out of it's sleep state. I don't know how to describe it, but will look into this problem very soon. It's not a harmfull bug.
Question to other developers: Hopefully there are other kernel developers among us as well. If you think you can contribute to this as well, then please PM me. At the moment I hope everyone together including myself will look into implementing MTD into out device.
The kernel source is uploaded to https://github.com/PsychoGame/android_kernel_samsung_totoro.git Updated
This is a little update on the things I have in mind.
If you like it, please post a comment, that also lifts my spirit in the lots of things that have to be done.
Installation Instructions
It's wise to make a EFS backup first to be sure you're IMEI data etc. is safe at all times. It's not only wise for this project but other projects as well. A good tool for this is Galaxy ToolBox. This tool saves the backup on you're SD card which you should keep safe on you're computer
Here are the installation instructions of the first kernel release:
Known bugs:
- Adb is not working in the CWM at this moment. I'm pretty sure it's a simple problem, but will solve that later on. It's not very annoying as anyting else is in my opinion functioning.
In my walktrough I will cover the steps for installing my kernel on a fresh install of Android.
There are a ton of walkthroughs already on the subject of flashing android to the Galaxy Y (GT-5360) through odin.
I didn't test it yet on a working installation, but I'm pretty sure this should work in there also.
Step 1: First of all, download the needed files
- cwm-madteam-galaxY.zip
- boot.tar (01/02/2013)
- boot.tar (08/02/2013)
- Version14Modules.zip
- Odin 1.85 Used
- update-signed.zip (Su Binary)
Step 2: Make a nandroid backup of you're device using Madteam's ClockWorkMod.
Step 3: Enter download mode (Holding down button + Select) + Power button until the phone seems to boot. In download mode flash my supplied boot.tar by putting it in the PDA field in Odin. No .pit file is required, and just leave anything default and click the (flash button).
Step 4: Enter CWM recovery (holding up + select) + Power button until the phone boots, and go to mounts and storage and one by one do (format /data, format /system and format /cache).
Step 5: Also in the menu Mounts and storage click on mount USB storage while the mobile is connected to the computer with the USB cable, or use a cardreader to open you're miniSD card. On the miniSD card there is a folder which is called clockworkmod which contains the backup you just made in the folder backup. Here you should change as an example (system.rfs.tar to system.ext4.tar), and also do this for the data.rfs.tar. Also inside nandroid.md5 these filenames have to be changed accordingly to resp. system.ext4.tar and data.ext4.tar.
Step 6: Reboot the ClockWorkMod Recovery and in the backup and restore menu click on "advanced restore" and choose you're nandroid backup. Choose only to restore (System and Data.)
Step 7: Just reboot and enjoy you're Galaxy Y with CWM included in kernel. As far as I tested everything is working as it should be, if you come across something that doesn't work please report this.
Step 8: Copy the modules supplied in Version14Modules.zip to /system/lib/modules/
If you flashed a fresh android rom you should Root it again using the update-signed.zip I supplied above this article (Before you install the update-signed.zip you have to mount the /system partition in the "Mounts and storage menu" first the mount is forgotten in the installer script.)
I hope you'll enjoy this little beginning, there's a lot more to come. I'll be gone for the weekend, so after the weekend I will be able to respond to any bugs and problems everyone came across.
Greetings

Thanks for the positive comments already, I will try to be as open about the development as I can.
By this I mean that I try to explain every step I do, in my github, but also in the forum so that somebody else could reproduce all the steps I did to create the same thing as me.
So also people beginning with development can try to understand what I'm doing.
Also I will keep this thread as updated as possible.
Greetings PsychoGame

Awesome work
I expect more from u :thumbup:

Just wanna ask one question -
Isn't kernel 3 made to make it compatible with ICS/JB ?
If yes, then isn't White's kernel based on kernel 3 ?
Re: [CWM & CM] Port of CM7 with kernel 2.6.35.14 & EXT4 as base without RFS & FSR
Ramdisk makes ics/gb/jb boot.. U dont need 3.x kernel for that.. Just make some changes in stock ramdisk and u r good to go.

No, ICS for the Samsung Galaxy S Plus was running on the 2.6.35.14 kernel at first.
Only there was a big interest in using kernel 3.0 because this contains many new features and improvements over 2.6.35.14.
So that's why they ported the 3.0 kernel.
White's kernel is also based on the 2.6.35.7 kernel which is used by samsung.
On this moment the Galaxy Y is still limited this kernel serie because the use of RFS and also the FSR (Flash Transition Layer) which are both closed source.
Getting rid of RFS isn't a big deal, that's a matter of converting all the filesystems to EXT4.
The problem is getting rid of FSR, this is a module that's needed to make the NAND accessable for the kernel.
So if you want to break free from the 2.6.35 serie of the kernel you need to use opensourced modules.
As I already found out this isn't very easy to do.
An opensource version of a "Flash Transition Layer" is MTD.
But to use this you have to enable the MTD support in the kernel, and convert the BML to MTD.
That is what I'm currently trying to do.
The problem is that the promised EXT4 support for the /data, /system, /cache, and other phone partitions will not be possible anymore.
In that case I'm forced to use YAFFS2, which is also an opensource filesystem luckily.

Re: [CWM & CM] Port of CM7 with kernel 2.6.35.14 & EXT4 as base without RFS & FSR
PsychoGame said:
No, ICS for the Samsung Galaxy S Plus was running on the 2.6.35.14 kernel at first.
Only there was a big interest in using kernel 3.0 because this contains many new features and improvements over 2.6.35.14.
So that's why they ported the 3.0 kernel.
White's kernel is also based on the 2.6.35.7 kernel which is used by samsung.
On this moment the Galaxy Y is still limited this kernel serie because the use of RFS and also the FSR (Flash Transition Layer) which are both closed source.
Getting rid of RFS isn't a big deal, that's a matter of converting all the filesystems to EXT4.
The problem is getting rid of FSR, this is a module that's needed to make the NAND accessable for the kernel.
So if you want to break free from the 2.6.35 serie of the kernel you need to use opensourced modules.
As I already found out this isn't very easy to do.
An opensource version of a "Flash Transition Layer" is MTD.
But to use this you have to enable the MTD support in the kernel, and convert the BML to MTD.
That is what I'm currently trying to do.
The problem is that the promised EXT4 support for the /data, /system, /cache, and other phone partitions will not be possible anymore.
In that case I'm forced to use YAFFS2, which is also an opensource filesystem luckily.

IMHO most of problem from cm 7 (source) porting come from vendor's proprietary library. i don't think putting effort to porting sgy kernel to 3.x version is worth it. fs and partition only 'small' thing to do. you still have to port gpu, camera, baseband, and other modules which is more difficult.
"Those, who fail to read history are bound to repeat its mistakes"
People here have and did and will fail to read the things here and many did and many probably will have to lose their devices. You don't have to lose a device to get knowledge inbetween your ears.You don't have to be stupid. You surely can learn from your mistakes. But There's a better way. You can learn from others mistakes. This thread is a compilation of such mistakes ,that I personally have done and many others ,who did and their solutions aka The easy ways.
So, officially I congratulate you for finding this thread and reading Upto here. So, even if you don't read the whole thread, these are the main stuff you must know is
1. Rooting is a dangerous process -done by developers only. If you did root your device, you assume full responsibility for your device. So, if you can't think like one of the developers at least partly, I suggest you don't root your device ,coz when you mess up, the one who deviced the procedure or Rom will not help you. And everything you find here is in "AS IS " tag.
2.If you have rooted, next thing you must do is backup-
Go to recovery,
go to backup and restore
click backup.
I find it strange that this is not included in the root procedure. This surely would've helped a lot of Picos out there.
3.NEVER DO A RUU
-It unanimously holds the number ONE title for the major causes of bricking of Picos.
Trust me -Surely you can save your device, without the ruu. And with ruu, you're bound to fail without proper knowledge and research.
The only time you are suggested by experts to do a ruu is when you have already done a ruu "and" bricked it.
4. Overclocking here may cause burnt nand. -know what Rom you're using-it may have built in-overclock .
However, overclocking doesn't necessarily produce burnt-nand for all devices.
5.Finally, Not all answers you receive in the question and answer thread are good. Some answers will kill your device. So please judge the credibility of the answerer before you follow the answers. Generally, you could track back their previous answers and their working. Thanks meter is a good source of credibility -but not always -Not all who have big thanks record are helpful neither are they knowledgeable-There are spammers, who trick people into giving thanks.Do your home work before you trust a stranger. Recognized developer title is a good source of credibility.
The above five should save you a lot of trouble.
Ever in trouble? Drop by and read.
Do your googling,if you don't understand anything here.Have a great time !

Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
/Recovery(5 MB Max )
First thing to do after root is to make a nandroid backup.
Go to backup and restore and select backup
1.what is this partition?
It contains your recovery
2.what is recovery?
It's a specialized partition for Android, which is used when something goes wrong.
We use it to change (flash) Roms, change kernels and mostly everything in xda. Make nandroid before you mess up
3. What are the recoveries available for a310e ?
1 .yannou90 (cwm5) recovery
2.Twrp 2 .3 by cute prince
3. twrp 2.2 by oblikas

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38734554
Except 1,all other recoveries will not show charging animation, when you are charging your phone after switching it off ~instead of charging animation ~you'll be going to recovery
twrp official - some problems with ext4 partition has been reported and also reported to have been fixed. -I never had the problem before and after and I recommend this one 2.5 present here in xda.
twrp cute prince has issues restoring backups (problem with symlink )
5.what's the difference between them?
cwm5 - complete backups of all partitions
twrp - support compressed backups /file manager and other great things
cwm6 - your SD ext partitions will not be fully backed up during subsequent backups,but only the changed files greatly reducing the size of subsequent backups
6. Can you explain more about cwm ?

8. How to flash a recovery?
Two methods described in detail in link above by bhargz16 ~ fast boot
Flash from phone:
Required:
Flash_image binary
You can flash any recovery
From terminal using
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
You need recovery.img (renamed like that ) present in /sdcard itself
9. Error while restoring .Androidsecure /sdext ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39874898
10. Cannot go to recovery /burnt recovery /unable to flash recovery?
Use
Code:
fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/twrp5.img
You need twrp5.img or recovery.img present in /SDcard and renamed like that itself.
After booting into recovery, you can do everything you please. ~flash erase format and install new Rom and boot the device
After booting up the device, flash erase mtd1 through terminal emulator.and then flash a suitable small recovery. And then pledge here that you'll never overclock ever again.

Here you'll find most of the nothing really bugs. All statements having "Nothing really " in bugs list directs here. This is to inform new flashers of what they'll get and what they won't. To make the facts clear,so that you won't have to flash every Rom to find out all the nothing really™ bugs. After all, this is a newbie friendly thread.

Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
SCRIPTS
Before we start, a app when installed takes space as three parts.
They are apk,dex and data (lib+app data)
All scripts work by symlinking

Partial scripts
A.Link2SD app
Moves apk,dex,lib~doesn't move app data
B.Root data2SD app

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31915607
1.1 mount2SD doesn't work? Script not executed fully @ boot?
Flash kernel 2.6 from above and you should be good to go.
2. How do I increase internal memory (literally ) from 150 MB to 2GB(for example SD ext )?
Use mount2SD reverse mount
Use int2ext
Side effects:
As per Android rules, 10% of internal memory will be unavailable
So, 200 MB out of 2GB SD ext will be unavailable
Mount2SD also has normal moving methods ,which will make Android think you'll have 150MB but you can fill up 2GB inside of 150 MB (Here 10% would mean 15 MB)
3. I installed d2ext/similar ,I'm not able to install more apps ,even though I have more SD ext space?.
A. First make sure you don't hit 10% data limit described above
B. Use diskusage app to determine,which partitions are full
For example- some scripts don't move dalvik and so dalvik will fully accumulate in /data creating no space.
C. Fix permissions from recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.
4. My Rom doesn't have init.d support /I'm using stock Rom?
Check index
You can add init.d support by
Flashing custom kernel (cranium)
Flashing scripts to make init.d support (or pimp my Rom app[not tested])
5. Where to add scripts before flashing Rom?
Add it in /system/etc/init.d (permissions are rwx rwx rwx ,if you're adding this in recovery after flashing )
For mount2SD add configurations folder in /data/m2sd.
6. How to migrate from link2SD to mount2SD?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38840247
7. Is there a full script so that I can use both my internal memory and SD ext?
A bit complicated, but this what I use...
Configure mount2SD
To move both apk and dalvik
Don't move data.
Then open titanium backup to move app data
@First move one app data to create data2SD directory.. then you can batch move whatever apps you think fit.
But please make sure you have at least 10 to 30 MB in /data and in/SD ext (SD ext not necessarily ) before a nandroid backup. Otherwise restoreS will not work.

Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
Common issues with scripts:
0. Device stuck @ HTC logo with 4 error icons on all four corners
Since you flashed an ruu and failed user data fail etc.
Unlock bootloader if possible
Flash twrp recovery again
Code:
fastboot flash recovery.img
Then go to recovery with this command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
Now that you're in recovery wipe everything, format everything .
If flashing failed /you can't enter recovery, do this keeping twrp recovery.img in /SDcard
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/recovery.img
Do cute prince recovery procedure shown in burnt nand section
Flash erase mtd3 as well
Now Flash your Rom and boot
If it doesn't boot, repeat the whole procedure above and now
Do ruu.
If all the above failed,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39181288
Read the above thread fully. That's the last resort.
Moral : Don't ever Flash an RUU (if you haven't already )
You can Flash stock Rom ~safer
1. Device struck in HTC logo
Wait for 15 minutes
Try pulling out battery and reboot
Update busybox and try installing scripts again
Convert your partition to ext3
Change your kernel to 2.6
2. Mount2SD ~apps update after every boot?
Turn cache off in app
Turn safe mode off
Clear cache and dalvik ~fix permissions ~reboot
Common issues after flashing:
1. I get status 7 error?
Open archive with Bluetooth file manager and check archive integrity
Try different compression method(thanks hpsgill)
Delete system apps
2. I get status 0 error?
Update binary used is different
Exchanged update binary from a working zip to this one
Other errors can be cured by changing recovery .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38469360
Common issues after flashing Rom:
1. Always do a clean install
To wipe everything except /sdcard.
Even in /sdcard delete Android /data after backup
2. No I won't listen. I want to do you a dirty install. Show me how?
Your choice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35903694
3. I get force closes of all apps?
Dalvik problem.
Clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot
4.I get force close of a specific app?
If it's a paid app, then you need to change your Android id to your original Id with Android id changer /titanium backup
Not a paid app?
Clear cache and data of that app and reboot
Fix permissions
5.reboot after reboot?
Thanks bhargz16
Kernel problem. Change kernel
GAPPS:
1. This gapp always force closes?
A. If it's a gapp found on play, just uninstall that gapp from system using titanium backup and then reboot and install from play store.
B.if not found on play, then try flashing a different gapps version from goo.im .
Make sure you have enough space on /system and on /cache before flashing and then flash. If not delete unused apps like stock keyboard ,etc
2. RPS5~AEC0/927/any other error while downloading apps from play?
A. Clear data cache of play store app
Reboot
B. Clear data of google services framework
Reboot
C. Remove your google account and re add it. Reboot.- this worked for me.
3. All my apps are missing from installed apps in play?
Wait for some time,if you've flashed a new Rom
Clear data and cache of play store
Reboot
Download app eric market fix *use @ your own risk *

SCREEN AND POWER BUTTON and soft keys:
1.SCREEN turns on after turning off ?
A. Some apps are trying to make screen on. After screen turns on, go to settings immediately and open running applications, you may be able to find the culprit. It's probably the app, which is restarting. Some apps like lock any app screen etc. Logs could be helpful.
B. Some users reported it could be a hardware problem -look below for power button issues.
C. Some users reported it could be a script problem (rare )
2. My home screen button and /or search buttons doesn't work?
A. Did you do a dirty install of new Rom
Clear cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot
B. Copy com.Android.providers.settings /databases from your previous nandroid backups(use yaffs file manager /nandroid manager)and paste it in it's respective location now (paste it using file manager in recovery )
C. If that doesn't work, clean install again

2.sakîndia123
3.derefas
4.lirokoa
5.liverpool fan
6.bhargz16
7.nihar.g
8.ngolralph
And many others. The above are the developers of the roms that I used and present in no order.
2. Why doesn't sakindia123 update the OP ?
Disclaimer: Since it is one of the most faq by newbie,I'm forced to discuss here. I personally do not know sakîndia. If you still want more info, contact senior member hpsgill
You see.. He does nothing without reason. If he doesn't, then the last build present in op will be more /less equal to the latest build. There are other reasons ,which if I had to speak of them all, time wouldn't let me and I would have to deal with flaming members and mods and deleted posts and locked threads . Furthermore that question is well out of the scope of this thread. You are instructed not to ask this question any where.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
3. How can I contact these developers?
You can by studying Android development and codes, bccms,404s,tr2s and then talking to them. You'll have better luck talking with non recognized developers than the rds.
And try discussion threads .
4. Why doesn't a developer answer my question? (I'm being polite here)
Because the developer doesn't know the answer

Or your question has already been answered. Try searching for your question at the least 10 pages back.
or your question is too silly to answer
Or your question is not seen ,because they don't have time .
5. Why do they do this ?
For passion of development, addicted, and for learning purposes.
So, that means they don't work for you. They don't help you. They do what they want.
6. I feel a emptiness around forum members. Was there a developer who worked here, yet left without goodbye?
Well not sure about goodbye, but yes his name is jaggyjags.
sakIndia123 came only late and his first work his cranium kernel, which he abandoned like it was nothing.. buried it along with jags. Cruel things did happen before you were here.

0. What's burnt nand?
It's condition caused by overclocking(oc)[CPU oc ,to be specific. For gpu oc,go to the last part of this post question 10 ] resulting in bad blocks all over your system, data, cache and recovery.
Important: Use diskusage app to determine size. Don't go by phone's inbuilt settings

4. What are the symptoms of burnt nand?
Early symptoms:
You'll notice a strong drop in your free space in /data
Late symptoms:
/data free space is Nil /below 50%of what you saw before
Error in /cache /recovery/log.
Error in /cache/recovery/last log.Not readable.
No apps can be installed
Rom lags like hell
No Rom can be flashed /boots
Previous nandroids ,which are successfully restored before fails to restore now.
Really abrupt and fast restores with twrp
RUU cannot be done ~user data(mtd5) fail. System fail (mtd3)
5. How can I diagnose burnt nand early?
If you suspect burnt nand ,
1.Watch out for free space in /data and watch out for sharp reduction.
2.Download this app Disk Usage and watch out for increase in system data in /data

4.Definitive method is this :

hello
is there any linux terminal command for check badblock on nand memory?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.DOWNLOAD THE TERMINAL.ZIP ATTACHED BELOW
2.EXTRACT TERMINAL.ZIP INTO /SDCARD/lol [create a folder named lol[small letters ]in SDcard, if there already isn't one ]
3.Open terminal emulator on your phone
4.type or copy and paste this code and press enter
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/lol/runme.sh /r.sh
chmod 0755 /r.sh
/r.sh
5.if it doesn't work first time, paste twice.
6.If pasting twice doesn't work, type each code one by one -you'll surely get it. Come on-its just 4 lines -type it lazy!
And Now you'll see the number of bad blocks you've got.
You can also Flash the zip below[for which you have to go to recovery ]or execute the attached script badblocks.sh as root.
6. What are the parts affected by burning?
Proved to affect
/Data

11. Cannot go to recovery /burnt recovery /unable to flash recovery?
Not sure of the exact command,but will work.
Use
Code:
fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/twrp5.img
You need twrp5.img or recovery.img present in /SDcard and renamed like that itself.
After booting into recovery, you can do everything you please. ~flash erase format and install new Rom and boot the device [do ruu here, if you haven't been able to enter hboot before]
After booting up the device, flash erase mtd1 through terminal emulator.and then flash a suitable small recovery. And then pledge here that you'll never overclock ever again.
12. GPU OC ?
gpu oc has been reverted along with CPU oc by sak for burnt nand. But may be added later. but not present in cm released on or two months before 9 may13.
12.1 is it safe?
I don't know. CPU oc did provide burnt nand and bad blocks. Gpu oc may also do some things, which may not be seen as of now. I've seen one case complaining that, after using Cyanogen and going back to stock - games started lagging, which did not lag, when he was in stock before. The reliability is doubtful. But not much people go back to stock either -so not much can be said.
12.2 do you recommend it?
"If any provider of any oc removes the "AS IS" tag and take responsibility,if something happens, then I'll probably may use that oc,otherwise count me out".
12.3 How to remove gpu oc ?
Its present in kernel. Flash another kernel. Or modify source and compile yourself.
Present at arch/arm/mach-msm/msm7x27a.c- kernel source.
Try here
Normal [bus, Gpu] is [0,133330000],[160000000,192000000],[200000000,245760000] I think.

A. If you're on stock, the rest is automatic
B.if you're on cyanogen 9/10/11,if you change the droid sans /others as recommended by app, you'll end up in boot loop (possibly because of symlinking of robot sans & droid sans )
In such a case go to preferences and click to overwrite only roboto regular font and everything will be fine.

3. How do I add a new language support to my device?
Note: no new language gui can be added by this method. This only adds support. Instead of seeing boxes, you may see your language. If you want full language support, you can go to this abandoned thread.?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40890599 ??
Language support can simply be added by adding a Android supported language font file in /system /fonts and give it permissions rw r. r.(font files can be found all over xda )
Step 2. Open system /etc /fallbackfonts.xml...
There should be a lot of font file names there.. just delete a font name that you don't want and add your font file name (the name of the file which you put in /system /fonts)
In there.
Practice makes perfect.
This method however doesn't work /only partly works for complex languages /script like Hindi Arabic etc.
DID YOU KNOW?
1. Long pressing reboot button (in the menu after pressing power key) will get you into safe mode
2. Long pressing power keys and volume keys + and- for more than 30 seconds will reboot your device (tk to hrkh83)
3. Repeatedly pressing certain options(like Android version) in the about menu in settings(on cyanogen ) will take you into different settings (tk liverpoolfan)

Battery drain
BATTERY DRAIN
Of course, we're gonna talk about drain.
Before we start, I want to disprove some prevalent concepts
1. Battery calibration
It is supposed to increase Battery capacity and increase Battery life and it makes your phone to show the correct Battery on the notification bar.
FALSE
It doesn't do any of those. Calibration is just deleting Batterystats.bin file. That file holds info about how many seconds each apps were running for.typically it's blameometer. It shows the information you see in the battery chart in your settings. Nothing more.
Source: article
2. Cycling your battery life from 0 to 100 and 100 to 0 will typically increase Battery life. Further more you should make sure it comes to zero by turning on the phone,every time it got switched off on it's own.
FALSE AGAIN
Nothing could destroy your Li-On Battery than extreme low voltage. You can be sure that this will destroy your battery life more than anything. During storage it's recommended to keep the battery in cool place with 40%Battery.
So, don't use any battery draining app from market.
Ok, since we took out the false foundation, it's time to put some true working tips to save your battery during usage and it's overall life
1. It's recommended to charge as often as possible ~every time you get a socket. Though not to keep @100 all the time. Overcharging theoretically may damage your battery, but your phone comes with various safety mechanisms to prevent charging after that.
2. Limit the number of apps. Definitely would produce good Battery.
3. Limit the number of apps, that run in background all the time.
Typical example would be facebook.
PERFORMANCE:
4.Disable autostarts for all apps, that you don't use much~using autostart manager.
Disabling autostarts for the clock app will make you get up late. Use common sense.
This alone should drastically improve your performance
5.Use lightweight launchers ~Nova.
Go (any go products) is not advisable
6.Post ICS, Disable media scanner receiver.
You can use elixir app to disable media scanner receiver. This will scan your SDcard over and over again resulting in Battery drain,which is significant, if you use a bigger SD. Use media scanner root to enable and disable.
As far as the usual ones,
7. Disable autobrightness
8. Keep screen @ minimum brightness
9. Disable autorotation
10. Disable location services.
GAPPS:
11. Disable GSF (google services framework ) receivers ~the ones with gtalk on it.
12. Disable auto sync
You can use timedo /timer Android to turn on sync twice /thrice daily.
13. Reduce number of accounts. Better to keep single than three accounts.
14. Good internet connection. Amount of energy taken to re connect is supposed to be far more than amount needed to keep a connection.
15. Undervolt/with underclock
RECOMMENDED APPS:
1.BETTER BATTERY STATS ~free for xda.
2. Onepower guard
I haven't found satisfying results with this app, but still try it out
3.greenIFY
I haven't used this @ all.
4. Any app, that is used to reduce /increase heartbeat sent to google servers.
Well, that's all I've learnt as of now.

Old post: too lazy to delete
Present condition:
Hi. I cannot get it to work on HTC Pico yet .It may work on other phones. If someone can, please feel free to complete it provided you give proper credits And you do not make money out of this.
What's this?
It's a procedure (wip) to Flash any kernel without the need to change ramdisk.
As new kernel gets released, you don't need to change ramdisk to suit your Rom.
Automated procedure:
Open any kernel.zip with any zip extractor on your phone
Copy the script below and paste it in updater-script present in meta~inf/com/google/Android
(delete any other things written there. )
Code:
package_extract_dir("bin","/tmp");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/busybox");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/unpack-bootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/mkbootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/dump_image");
run_program("/sbin/dump_image","boot","/tmp/oldboot.img");
run_program("/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "-i","/tmp/oldboot.img","-o","/tmp");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mkdir","/tmp/boot");
run_program("/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "-i","/tmp/boot.img","-o","/tmp/boot");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "rm","-r","/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mv","/tmp/boot/kernel","/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/mkbootimg", "--ramdisk","/tmp/ramdisk.cpio.gz","--kernel","/tmp/kernel","-o","/tmp/newboot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot");
delete_recursive("/tmp/newboot.img", "/tmp/boot", "/tmp/oldboot.img", "/tmp/kernel", "/tmp/ramdisk.cpio.gz","/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/busybox", "/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "/tmp/mkbootimg");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Download zip files from the source link below
Extract it and copy the bin folder from there to your kernel folder directly.
There should be 3 folders in your kernel folder ~bin folder, meta inf folder, system folder and boot.img
Now compress it and Flash
Note that this is only applicable to change ramdisk. If the boot. Img needs more work than that, it won't work. Essentially, it won't work on sense4 compiled kernels and vice versa
Manual terminal emulator method:
Alright guys, one last tutorial from me making my last mark here .This tutorial is not tested fully and probably never will be due to lack of time. And it will work for sure ~but May have syntax errors.
Credits:
1.trevd for arm executable binaries.
2.Xda university.
Requirements:
1.Any Android 2.3+ rooted
2.Android terminal emulator
3.arm executable unpack-bootimg binary and mkbootimg binaries (find it below )
History:
I wanted to change ramdisk for kernels for a long time on phone itself ~probably for a year or more . But anyone who tried to unpack using normal unzip apps would've noticed that other data.img and even system.img in clockworkmod could be unpacked easily, but not the boot.img and recovery.img. When I searched to unpack, it was easy with computers using the unpackbootimg binary for Linux. Problem was it wasn't cross compatible with our phones . So, I was searching for quite a while,until I found trev on xda university and he had made arm executable binaries for unpacking, repacking. Actually the main reason these binaries were created was for far greater and more advanced purposes i.e. to use apply patch functions in update binary and update script to Flash ramdisk on phone without flashing the kernel itself or vice versa (AFAIK)[ The apply patch functions are used in normal ota updates for any Android phone ]. Anyway I took those binaries to unpack kernels on our phone to change ramdisk. I write this for those, who want to change ramdisk on thier phone, but had no experience in PC whatsoever. And also by doing this, I share the unpack boot image binaries by trevd for Android phone ,so that any advanced member May use it for kernel updater scripts~think about it ~one zip for all cm9/10/10.1. Ofcourse the rest is up to you. Thanks for reading
Procedure:
1.Download the zip given in source below
2.Unpack it
3.Find these two binaries in /system/bin
Unpack-bootimg and mkbootimg
4.Copy them to /system/bin and give them full execute permissions in es explorer and read/write permission for user.
5.For easy remembrance,say, b1.img is your original boot image for your Rom(and Android,say cm10 ) and b2.img is the new kernel released for cm10.1
6.You want to change the ramdisk ofb2 cm10.1 to cm10 ,so that you can Flash the new kernelb2 for your cm10
7.Create new folder in SDcard named boot and put both b1.img and b2.img there
8.Open terminal.
9.type the following code one by one
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/boot
mkdir /sdcard/boot/b1
mkdir /sdcard/boot/b2
unpack-bootimg -i /sdcard/boot/b1.img -o /sdcard/boot/b1
unpack-bootimg -i /sdcard/boot/b2.img -o /sdcard/boot/b2
rm /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz
mv /sdcard/boot/b1/ramdisk.cpio.gz /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz
mkbootimg --kernel /sdcard/boot/b2/kernel.img --ramdisk /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz --base 12C00000 -o /sdcard/b2new.img
rm -r /sdcard/boot
Note: the last rm command will delete all your old kernels ~don't execute it, if you don't want to have it deleted.
10.Now you have new kernel boot image with your ramdisk in /sdcard/b2new.img
11.Put it back in the zip with it's modules and
12. Flash
13.Hoping it'll work.
14.That's the end.
Source and binaries here:

For dream and Sapphire models, you can use the binaries created by koush ~ which is found in his github ~any kernel project.
I'll probably be leaving soon
Kind of feel like working for xda. I guess sak and others would probably feel like it later. It's been great while it lasted. So this is probably my last project. If I did have some extra hardware during this period, things May have been different. It's good, while it lasted.

RIN Kernel for D850
Close to stock with some sugar added ... delicous!
Hey guys and girls,
you may have seen my unified stock kernel thread already (or may not, but doesn't matter). This kernel is my attempt to build up on the fixed source and add some additional features for us mod lovers to thinker with and to personalize your device to your usage. For now, I'll keep it close to my stock source and just pull some additional features and fixes in, but not to much. That may change in the future (maybe even soon), but for now, I'll stick to that paradigm.
First of, DISCLAIMER, I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead unicorns, rainbows with missing colors, world war, nose bleed, void warranty (you know that already, don't you? your warranty is void now and it's your fault ) or any other harm happening to your device, you or people around you!

How to apply it?
IMPORTANT: Read through all the requirements, steps and warnings before you do anything, if any requirement doesn't match or you don't know what one or more of the steps below mean or do, ask before you do any of them, if you don't know how all the steps can be done, let it be and wait for the bootloader unlock, I warned you, if you don't do and something bad happens, I'll just laugh at you!!
Requirements? Yes!

How to boot the kernel?
Plugin your device to the PC
Open a terminal and execute
Code:
adb shell # open a shell over adb
su # change to superuser
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/storage/external_SD/stock-laf.img # backup the stock download mode to your external sd
exit # exit the superuser shell
exit # exit the adb shell
adb pull /storage/external_SD/stock-laf.img . # backup the download mode image from you external sd to the PC
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf # remove the stock download mode
BEWARE, THIS WILL REMOVE YOUR DOWNLOAD MODE!!! YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FLASH KDZ FILES BEFORE YOU RESTORED IT!!!!
Turn off the device completely, plug in the USB-cable, if you pulled it out and start the device by holding vol up + power till you see some white text on the screen, fastboot should be written somewhere on the screen, afterwards execute the following command on the PC (while in the directory you've downloaded the kernel image to).
D850:
Code:
fastboot boot D850-rin-1.6.img # boot the kernel
BEWARE, NEVER USE FLASH AT FASTBOOT ONLY BOOT, IT WILL TRIGGER SECURITY OF THE LOCKED BOOTLOADER AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BOOT ANYMORE!!!!
You're done now and booted to the custom kernel!
How to make sure you're running the kernel?
To check if you properly booted into the kernel execute this in the command line (terminal emulater or through adb shell):
Code:
cat /proc/version
it should show
Code:
Linux version 3.4.0-rin-g58903a9-dirty ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.9.1 20140710 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1+bzr2673 - Linaro GCC 2014.07 - Cortex-A15) ) #53 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 14 13:26:42 CEST 2014
Once more a warning READ IT!!:
BEWARE, when you reboot you'll boot to the stock kernel, you'll have to boot the custom kernel over fastboot every time, when you boot normally, you'll be on the stock kernel, this won't lead to issues, but you'll miss the benefits of this kernel, I know that's not optimal, but the best we can get with the locked bootloader.
How to restore Download mode?
Code:
adb shell # open a shell over adb
su # change to superuser
dd if=/storage/external_SD/stock-laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf # restore the stock download mode from the backup on your external sd

Please don't quote whole OPs...
Are you sure you took the right file? Just from saying "that's the procedure I've used" I can't tell, sorry, if that's exactly how you've done it, it has to work, as for anybody else, if you did something slightly different, you need to tell.

Have you tried using any other toolchain? I came from arrrghhh's anykernel, which was built on SaberMod, which was very snappy as compared to Linaro in my testing.

Yes, tried sabermod already, it's just even stricter than linaro at compiling, have to change a bit stuff, to be able to compile with it, but it's already on the schedule.

Curious why some devices get the green screen and some don't. I installed cloudy, then tried installing the kernel zip and same thing. Let me know if you want me to test anything if you get to a point and need someone that's getting the green screen, I'll be more than happy to help
Kernel Version Info
When I go to "Kernel Version" under "Software Information" it shows the Kernel Version as 3.4.0
Is this normal? Or is it supposed to say "Rin Kernel 1.7.1"?
What is the most efficient or favorite setup for Kernal
Thanks for getting a flashable zip file out! I was waiting for this because I didn't want to risk messing something up with the original installation method. From what I have read, people really like the kernel. I'm DLing it now!
OP. Any plans to make custom kernel's for AOSP Roms?

Ok, thanks. I was wondering because I've flashed kernels in the past that display a custom kernel version i.e. "Dorimanx"
I believe the kernel version that is displayed can be changed in the build.prop
Anyone care to post their stable settings for this kernel? I remember a similar thread for the S4 which really helped guys like me who aren't real familiar with all of the different kernel tune-ables.
I've searched the dev thread and this one but didn't see any reports about icon themes reseting after reboot. I finally flashed this kernel tonight and each time I've rebooted after tweaking cpu freqs, the icon theme I'd applied using Nova Launcher reverts back to default icons. I've been on stock kernel since July and this has only happened since flashing this kernel a few hours ago. Any ideas?

I'm using Nova with some alternate icons without issue. Don't know what to tell you except it's working fine for me.
Problem solved and it wasn't anything kernel related. I forgot that I was playing with moving apps to SD the other day and moved all of my icon packs. Apparently, regardless of the launcher being used, it will load before the SD card initializes, so the icon packs aren't found. I've moved then back to the phone and all is well. Google is definitely my friend.

Introduction:
Myself5 said:
@oshmoun and I were in need for a custom stock kernel to mess with. Since all the available Options were not fitting our needs, or gave us bad experience on some aspects, and we knew about Zombie Kernel from Tom, we decided to start working on that. So I brought up support for the Z5, we ported Kexec to it, updated it to 224 and added various things. Since the kernel gave us very good experiences, we decided to make it accessible to the public.
About:
This Kernel is based on @Tommy-Geenexus Zombie Kernel. He was ok with us continuing/porting his projects, so oshmoun, and me started to create the "oshmoun Myself5 Zombie Kernel" aka OM5Z Kernel.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After the v2.0 release, @Olivier, @a-st and I decided to make it for Z3+ single and dual SIM. We hope you'll enjoy it!
Features and Commit History:
Check 2nd Post!
Installation Instruction:
THIS DOES ONLY WORK ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!
You can either flash the provided boot.img via fastboot, or flash the zip in recovery.
Additional Information:
The Kernel is underclocked by default. Both Cluster are underclocked to 1,344/1,536 GHz respectively, resulting into HUGE Temperature improvements. However, due to public demand, V2 features the ability to disable the underclock (in case you need to make some baked Eggs real quick, whatever). All you need to do is run this code after boot (Kernel Adiutor has the abilty to execute scripts at startup, just a reminder).
Code:
echo "0:4294967295 1:4294967295 2:4294967295 3:4294967295 4:4294967295 5:4294967295 6:4294967295 7:4294967295" > /sys/module/msm_performance/parameters/max_cpu_freq
What it effectively does, is resetting the max clock limit for each core to the default (unset) values, allowing you to set whatever frequency (from the ones available ofc) you want.

Additional Information:
As you might have seen in my MultiROM Thread, some stock kernels require different Recovery Images than AOSP Kernels. We set an end too this, and fixed init_sony, rather than using some very outdated software which somehow works. This means, you might need to use a different recovery with this kernel if you're currently on a "stock" recovery. We're hoping that other stock kernel devs adapt our solution, so we can set an end to the old scripts.

- .253 stock ROM?
- where does it hang, kernel logo or bootanimation?
- which file did you flash?
- did you have xposed or supersu installed before? if yes, did you reinstall them after flashing the kernel?
Nice to have more options with another Kernel. Was waiting for a Kernel which is underclocked by default. Flashing Kernel+SuperSu 2.76+Systeless Xposed 85.7 went fine (E6553+.253). After that i had to flash twrp to "recovery" partition, FOTA-twrp doesnt boot. Looks really good for the first few minutes.

hey buddy thanks for the nice words, I hope you'll enjoy the kernel.
btw the "recovery" partition is an alias for FOTAKernel afaik, so I don't quite get "FOTA-twrp doesnt boot", tho I must admit I don't know what's FOTA-twrp
I mean as you said, I too flashed twrp to recovery and it works with volume up on the purple led just as it should..

Well i´m not that into recoverys with sony devices as this is my first and there seems to be a difference between flashing twrp from pc to "recovery" and flashing twrp to FOTA Kernel like this. I dont know if it is the same at the end, but some Kernels have twrp included, some not. If you change the Kernel you cant use twrp without flashing it new. I allways had htc devices before and you only flash twrp once and it´s there allways and forever xD. After flashing your Kernel it recognizes my TWRP in FOTAKernel, yellow led went on and changed to purple after pushing vol- but it doesnt boot, just purple led for two minutes after that i rebooted. As i said just flashed it to recovery and everything is working fine.

As i said just flashed it to recovery and everything is working fine.

it should be vol+ I think, vol- is usually for the in-kernel recovery (from my experience with Xperia Z)..
anyway for me it worked after I reflashed the kernel for testing purposes, it entered twrp when I press vol+ (didn't try vol- tho)
also yes, this kernel doesn't include twrp in itself so you'd have to either use the one in FOTAKernel/"recovery"
just to be sure, this kernel supports root right? :angel:
could someone report performance, temprature, stability, lags, and such?
Thanks!

I think it´s too early to say something definitive but it looks really good, temperature is a little bit lower than with Stock or any other Kernel. I dont see any differences for the perfermance between this and Stock or AndroPlus, so far no laggs or bootloops or other problems.

ok thanks, have u done any thermal throttling modifications?

No, just flashed kernel, su, xposed and twrp and thats it. But usually testing a new kernel takes a few days, thats all first impression.

Alright sure! but as you may know, i have an unusual hot device, and on stock configurations it reaches 60 degrees really quickly. and on stock config 60 degrees is the point when the device starts to throttle, and degrade performance. But thank you, i think ill try it out!

Sure does. Just flash systemless SuperSU (last stable is always tested with the kernel).

Performance should technically be a tad worse than other kernels, caused by the underclock. HOWEVER, due to the S810s hot nature, it wont run very long on its highest clock, and will underclock (even under our underclock limit) rather fast. So after all, you probably wouldnt see MUCH degradation especially not in real life situations, if at all you'd see them in Benchmarks. Temperature, should be way better than on stock thanks to the underclock (my Z5 is IMO cooler than my Z3 on Carbon LP and a performance optimised Kernel (M5 Kernel).
Lags: Helll naaahhh.
Stability: Using the kernel since release (that is Z5 release ofc) +1 Month. Had 3 reboots I am aware of. All while playing Pokemon Go. So, not sure if kernel or Game related at this point.
And Such: You won't see as much features in OM5Z as other competitiors provide. Thats because we focus on having a simple, basic daily usage kernel, with small and sensible additions here and there (e.g. kexec).
Hope that clears some stuff up.

Testing it !
Hi,
12hr using, so far everything works well, no boot loop, no hangs, no lag,
For those who like me are not as expert as others a resume what i did:
* Download .253 from xperifirm (Custum DE)
* Remove fwinfo file from download
* Create flashable bundle (omit all .ta files) on flashtool (Answer no to script question)
* Backup (always backup )
* Flash bundle into the phone... I didn't wipe userdata but i can be done (Answer no to script question)
* Restart into system normally
* Flash vía terminal (cmd on windows) this kernel "boot_ivy_OM5Z_253.img" --- To get fastboot mode (Hold volume + while conecting usb cable until blue led flashes)
fastboot flash boot boot_ivy_OM5Z_253.img
* Flash twrp 3.0.2 for ivy
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-ivy-20160606.img
* Restart on recovery twrp ( Power on phone, pres vol+ once while orange led flashes)
* Flash newest superSu stable (2.76 at this time) vía flash zip
* Wipe caches
* Restart to check root :good:
Enjoy this awesome work ... thaks
Your Kernel is working really good when using it as a "user" but something is a little bit wired with this Kernel. I dont get full access to the whole System. When using TWRP it doesnt show the temperature and it doesnt show severall partitions like oem an these small ones. When Android is booted i get access to all partitions using a root explorer, but cannot access all files on all partitions. All other Kernels have no problems with this, testet all there are for our device (stock,androplus,zach´s) and om5z is the only Kernel which produces this phenomenon. Would be wonderful if you can fix this, it´s a great kernel for daily usage.

other kernels have twrp embedded in the boot.img, using rootkernel script. That one is modified to fix the cpu temp issue you mentioned, and also offers the ability to mount the other partitions.
OM5Z boots recovery from the FOTA/recovery partition, so as to try and seperate boot and recovery as much as possible. Those issues are basically recovery issues, not so much kernel issues.
About access to partitions on android, did you install supersu?

did you actually use pure stock kernel from the firmware or you used the one repacked with the rootkernel script @oshmoun mentions?
also should be noted that you can use twrp with pure stock kernel only by fastboot boot, not by fastboot flash recovery because stock doesn't have init_sony and purple keycheck light

I think he meant he has access to partitions inside the ROM, only not in recovery..
PS I had only 2% overnight drain in almost 7 hrs with wifi on and being logged in on several huge drainers like Facebook, Messenger, Viber etc.. whereas before I had always >1% per hour
That should say enough about this kernel's power savings... Simple stuff but pretty effective
I used Stock Kernel with rootkernel mod. And yes your declaration that this is related to the recovery itself makes sense. The Problem with access to some files when android is booted could also be relatet to latest systemless root (2.76) i dont know. I had access to all partitions when android was booted but not the rights to access some of the files (copy or delete files).
Well cause of the limitations of twrp which could be used with your Kernel, i cant use it for the Rom i´m actually working on, need access to all partitions hehe. Is there a way to integrate modified twrp into your Kernel?
The power savings are awsome, no other Kernel has such a good batery life.
