Will the kernel from G2X (P999) work for the Optimus2X (P990) (Worldwide)
having the CyanogenMod-7 for Optimus 2X - NIGHLTIES (2.3.7) GB ROM?
I am talking about this Kernel:
[Kernel]CM7 [2.6.32.45] (v0.4.3) OC~1.55GHz/UV/SLQB/BFQ/EXT4/Voodoo [Oct-13]
By faux123.
Or does it work only for T-mobile G2X?
Anyone? I am really looking forward to test it.
Thank you!
I am not positive but I dont think they are compatable. Even on the g2x that kernel is not for 2.3.5 or .7 based roms. I think it is for 2.3.3 based roms only and only on the g2x. Again I am not positive but that is the impression I get.
The kernels aren't compatible across devices.
No. The kernels are compiled with device drivers and for your specific memory partitioning. Since the G2X and the O2X have different device drivers, different basebands and different partitioning, flashing this kernel could seriously ruin your day, including soft-bricking your phone. Almost nothing the G2X community is doing is compatible for the O2X (my root zips are an exception as they work on almost any device) and vice versa.
Unless you want a pretty paperweight, you better stick with using kernels listed specifically for your phone.

You can always try them... since you'll do it via recovery.. you can flash another one if it doesnt boot

I'm still fairly new to XDA and Android in general and I have a few questions. I did some searching and have a general idea of how Modems and Kernels interact with ROMS but I'd like to get a more firm idea before I decide to do more.
I flashed to Cognition 3.04 and have been running it for about 2 weeks now and love it. SOOO much better than what Samsung sent out stock. My question is in regards to kernels and modems. I haven't changed anything with Cog in regards to what DG included as Modem/Kernel. I have been reading about Kernels and Modems, and from my understanding I need to use a Captivate Kernel with a Captivate Modem and an i9000 Kernel with an i9000 Modem or I will lose Bluetooth calling.
1) Since I have the stock Cog modem/kernel and Cog is based off of Rogers 2.2, does that mean that the modem is a standard Captivate modem? If I flash the Firebird kernel, which I think is a Captivate kernal as it is based off of Android 2.2 JPX, will I lose my ability to use BT for calls?
Also, I have been getting an itch to flash another ROM like Serendipity, Firefly, Perception, and Precision.
2) Serendipity appears to be a Captivate 2.2 ROM, but I really couldn't find anything while searching implicitly stating that. It uses SpeedMod, which has both a Captivate and an i9000 kernel from what I read. I couldn't find anything about what modem that this ROM uses though. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
3) Firefly is based off of Rogers 2.2, but it has a JK4 modem and SpeedMod kernel. The JK4 is an i9000 modem from what I can see. SpeedMod looks to have a K13A kernel for both Captivate and i9000. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
5) Perception is based off JPY, which looks to be an i9000 ROM. It also has an i9000 modem in JL2, but it is running Firebird. Firebird is based off of JPX, which I believe is for Captivate but works with all modems. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would not work on this ROM?
6) Precision is based off of XWJS5 2.2.1, which I couldn't find a whole lot of info on. It also has the JL2 modem with K13A SpeedMod. Is it safe to assume that BT audio for calls would be fine on this ROM?
I appreciate any responses and feedback. I am just trying to get a handle on what works/doesn't work in regards to Modems, kernels, and ROMS.
Thanks,
Vivified
Serendipity uses i9000 rom. Any rom that had a i9000 will have a i9000 modern included
I believe your presumption on fire bird kernel is correct, but flashing modems is very easy
I'm about to flash to Precision then SuckerPunch Kernel. I'll update on results.
I flashed to Perception 3.0 and SuckerPunch #49. WOW! This ROM/Kernel combo is fast!
Hello there I'm a total noob on this forum and ive been searching for quite awhile for a rom for my samsung galaxy s fascinate on telus (as you can probably gather from the title of the thread), and I have had absolutely no luck does anyone know of any roms that could work for me?
Thanks in advance
Do none of these work ?
Im not sure ive been looking but I need to find a rom specific to telus for my fascinate as I dont want to brick my phone. Im sorry for my huge noobishness Im more familiar with iphones and such in the hacking department these androids are alot trickier
The telus fascinate has gotten no love from developers but there is a work around possible.
ROMS:
Some i9000 roms will work with the fascinate, same goes for a few tmobile vibrant roms. Its mainly luck which ones do and do not work but ones such as Darky's rom will work fine since they're actually designed for all SGS variants.
IMPORTANT:
Do not load any roms that include a bootloader in the update package; this WILL brick your phone. Also when flashing any roms be sure that lagfix is disabled for first boot again this WILL brick your phone otherwise.
KERNEL:
As for your kernel there is 1 custom voodoo injected one based on the stock telus kernel available specifically for the fascinate but you lose out on any overclocking/BLN/etc features. You are able to use the kernels available for the i9000 such as the speedmod kernel but you will lose your home button functionality.
This loss of home button functionality can also be fixed by remapping your buttons using a hex editor.
RADIO:
For the most part all radios will work but I found using the stock telus radio to be the best in terms of battery life/signal strength.
Will the new gingerbread Rom for Optimistic 3D work for the Thrill, if yes which Rom would work best?
It might need minor modifications in order for it to work. At least I think so.
i have a thrill ,very interst in it too!!
Hi.
Might be retarded to ask this, but as the title says: are all the roms in the dev section (the ones' which are GB roms, of course) uses LG's drivers and 2.3GB?
Let me explain myself (if needed):
Recently I have found out that one obstacle in building the ICS ROMs is not having the LG drivers in order to "sit" the ROM on the hardware.
Ok. Great.
Now this makes me ask, what about the GB Roms? Are they all using the official LG drivers? Are they "based" on these driver?
I am assuming that a ROM which is basing itself on official LG drivers will be the most reliable, least likely to force-close, and so on.
Thanks!
I think so, and I'm pretty sure they are; even if it's the the degree that the original drivers are modified to some degree, such as a custom kernel. I wouldn't imagine that the drivers, except maybe for CM9, have been rewritten from the ground up.
This is my educated opinion and I may still be wrong.
Is it safe to install a new kernel (like matr1x 19.0) that's based on ICS on a gingerbread ROM like CM7?
I am asking because my friend's Nexus S is limited to the current ROM because it was given to her for free for a sociology study, so it's recording data. I'm looking to install a new kernel for overclocking, BLN, and so forth.
Thanks.
Is this a serious question?
No. It won't boot. Just leave it alone if it's a work phone. When the study is over you can put franco's old gb kernel on it.
