Out of sheer curiousity here...With the new leak having bootloaders and a proper GB kernel, would it be beneficial to start developing custom kernels with CWM recovery or do you think to much would change from this leak to the official? Would enough change to make development with the leaked kernel a waste of time?
And are the new bootloaders backwards compatible with the current custom kernels and roms we already have? Trying to get an idea of what we have here before I jump in and start flashing!

I'm not sure if the devs will jump on this just yet but it would be easier to just wait for official I'm sure, official GB is really close. As for backwards compatability, if you look through the thread , I'm pretty sure someone used the bootloaders on S7...
No source code till the official release goes out . Cwm can be scripted in, supercurio used to do it for some sgs phones with lagfix and sometimes sound but what do toy really need cwm for? I mean of you are running the leak you probably know how to flash without cwm. Also there seems to be a wifi fox from entropy for the 2.3.3 Rogers kernels now so you may be able to run the leak with a kernel with many enhancements with only hdmi not working till sources drop.

Hi, I'm not new to rooting/flashing. My sister-in-law wants her Fascinate to be faster and lag free. So I'm here to help her but got questions. Is EB01 the stock kernel? I'm looking a stock kernel + voodoo. She's gonna wait for offical release of 2.2 on her phone so I'm looking for 2.1 stock + voodoo. But if I have too, I can flash a 2.2 ROM and tell her that VZW can screw.
Please and thanks in advance.
EB01 is the version of the latest leak of 2.2, not the version of a kernel.
Search the Development forum for Voodoo. There are quite a few Voodoo kernels out there for 2.1. The ones from jt1134 are pretty popular. Also, adrynalyne has some test kernels available. I was using his Test 5 (non-voodoo) for quite a while and it was pretty stable. There are other developers with Voodoo kernels as well, so look through the search results and figure out what you like best.
The one thing to keep in mind is that some of the newer 2.1 kernels are only compatible with the latest officially released firmware (DL09). You might need to upgrade her phone (OTA) before proceeding with adding these newer 2.1 kernels.
There is a Voodoo kernel available for 2.2 currently, but you would have to upgrade everything to 2.2 (i.e. EB01). There is a thread for it by jt1134, and it's a stock 2.2 kernel with Voodoo and custom boot animation support.
Hi,
I was using SGS I 9000 and with the official 2.3.3 DDJV6 version which is very very slow. After that i have tried so many leaked firmwares but unfortunately none of them works well for me..none of them are stable & bugfree.
Right now i am using DDJV9 with voodoo lagfix. This is also not running effeciently..phone gots very very hot upto 55C.
Kindly help me reviving my sgs experince. Please kindly also share the link also for the same.
Thanks alot in advance.
No roms not even OEM roms are free of bugs mate, try flashing some other custom roms until u find the one that suits ur needs.
I agree none of them is bug free. But Whichever leaked firmware i have used is not not even stable. I just want stable & fast firmware.
People kindly help.

No one will be able to tell you what will run well on your device with your set up. Try roms out till you rind one that works for you. Each device is different and so are the way we use them.
Try ROM Mintberry, link to post

Thanks..
Right now i am little confused. Till now i have only checked the different firmwares not tried any ROM.
Are firmware and ROM are 2 different things or same? Sorry if it is too basic..
Firmware and ROM are sort of intertwined. The firmware mostly relates to the underlying infrastructure that the ROM depends upon. Things like the kernel and radio. The ROM is the actual implementation of the OS. When you flash new firmware, you also get a new ROM along with it.
Some custom ROMs, such as Darky's ROM, are very closely related to the stock ROM, and have mostly performance and cosmetic changes. Other ROMs such as Mintberry MIUI and Onecosmic are quite significantly different from any of the stock ROMs.
They also depend on particular parts of the stock firmware. Onecosmic and MIUI both require gingerbread bootloaders to have been previously installed from a stock firmware package.
If you want my two cents on what to use, I am currently using Onecosmic RC2.11 (waiting for the phone to charge to full, then going to install RC3) and it is excellent. It is based on Ice Cream Sandwich, it runs quickly, and it looks beautiful.
There is a link to the XDA thread here.
i upgraded to this version (the latest one)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508619
i see that rom's version ha upgraded to 2.3.6 the modem
was upgraded to uclb3
but the kernel is
if i tried the sgs flasher with the zimage from the same thread the kernel went to uclb3
but the the cwm didn't work, got error in the recovery 3e ,
dont' thave enough permitions
but all the root functions work well (getting sys folder end etc.. )
Thank
you can't have cwm and a 2.3.6 kernel at the same time. nobody with the knowledge have repacked the ram bootdisk into a stock kernel with access to cwm. when source code is available we will likely see new kernels with cwm. now there is a shortage of kernel developers and none that want to waist the time before an update is official and final because it may become obsolete in a week anyway.
what is the latest version with cwm?
thanks a lot!
what is the latest version of infuse with cwm working?
and where can i find the changes between all the versions
between 2.3.5 to 2.3.6
and from kernel uxkg3 to uclb3 ?
thanks again!

2.3.3 is the latest kernel version with source code. att never released source. ode even though they updated to 2.3.6. they have been playing games it seems.
the changes in android versions are minor. most don't actually apply to the infuse. things like support for wimax and video function in gtalk are things listed in the changelog in Wikipedia which obviously did not make it into the infuse roms. the only thing that might apply is the battery enhancements in 2.3.5. other than that it is mostly a number. the truth is that it more designates which version of the nexus s it was developed for than specific improvement.
First time I've checked forum for some weeks now. Sad to say there's hardly anything new. Have the devs upgraded their phones and moved on? I'm still using Reaper....
A special mention to BlindnDumb. Apart from CM10(still problems) and MIUI, he's the only person keeping interest in custom ROMs alive in my opinion...
Cheers...
Sure? check again, at least 5 custom roms with JB and nightly or weekly updates, same for ICS roms, official ICS RUU and of course its corresponding custom rom, new radio, new hboot... A modified Sense kernel with overclock and many other features, new hboot 7.x... Don't think Desire S scene is dead at all
Hey xda~ :laugh: noobynoob here and I got a few questions about overclocking, here we go:
1. Is it safe?
Just bought a Note 2 N7100 and got it in a bootloop [scared me senseless, thank god i fixed it]
2. Kernels?
Um what are kernels and what do they differ?
3.Are all kernels for overclocking compatible for my device/rom?:fingers-crossed:
Note 2 N7100 with Dr.Ketan's Custom Rom v10.0 android version 4.4.2 (I currently have my eyes on this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001838)
4.What kernel do you guys recommend (in case this one isnt compatible or if you just know a better one):victory:
I'm open to suggestions, I just want whats best for my phone
5.If something goes wrong flashing the kernel is there a chance I get bricked/stuck in a bootloop?
already messed up once when trying to flash my custom rom, im afraid itll happen again
ThanQ :laugh:

The kernel, in the simplest terms, is the piece of software in the operating system that tells the OS how to use the hardware.
Custom kernels typically take the stock kernel and modify the settings, and/or add features and setting parameters (often ported from other custom kernels).

I don't know. It's your responsibility to make sure it's compatible. I know Samsung makes many different versions of their Notes and Galaxy XS models (for different carriers, different regions of the world, etc), so a kernel for one version of the Note 2 might not work with your Note 2.
Further, just like it is with computer processors, not all are created equal. After manufacturing, processors are tested sorted into "bins" (literally) according to how well they work. Typically processors are all underclocked below their potential to some degree. That way they're not maxed out and overheating won't be a problem. Since they're underclocked, that means they can be overclocked to their true potential, but how far is a roll of the dice. One guy's Note 2 might have a processor from a higher bin and stably overclockable to 1.9GHz. Or you might have gotten one from a lower bin, and all you can OC it to is 1.7GHz. OC'ing too far will cause glitches and crashes.

I can't help you with that. It's best that you just read up on the kernel(s) you want to try, and by "read", I mean start from the first post, and read every post until you've read them all. That way you know about possible problems and how to sort them out if you encounter them.

If you have a custom ROM, that means you have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc). From within the recovery you can do what's called a nandroid backup. It probably won't be labeled as "nandroid" (even though that's what we call it), but just a backup. This creates an "image" of your phone as it is when you run the backup. Store it on your SD card or PC (or both). If something goes wrong, you should still be able to reboot into recovery and restore your backup. Or, if you have a copy of your current kernel (custom ROMs sometimes have their own kernels, and might be available to download), you can just reflash the old kernel in recovery.
ThanQ
hmmm I guess ill need to read up more, I read on the kernels page something about needing a touchwiz based rom? what does that mean and how do I tell if my rom is tocuh based? As for that backup idea, that seems pretty useful, im gonna do that right now

TouchWiz is what Samsung calls its interfaces.
