First off, i apologize for my noob questions but i would prefer to ask these before i mess with my phone. so here goes:
what's a kernel and what does it do?
same for modem (or are they the same)
what is the difference between odexed or deoexed and is there an advantage to one or the other?

I'll post this in pretty basic terms for ease of reading.
A kernel in general terms is what makes the phone run. It's the nuts and bolts. In linux you have different kernels and they all provide certain features. ROM's run on the kernel and provide the screens if you will, the features of the phone. Kinda like your computer's operating system.
Modems/Radios are firmware that control the baseband radio chipsets on your phone device to communicate to the data network for your carrier. You connection to your carrier. Specific to your phone and carrier.
When you have an odexed system you basically have apk's and odex files inside of your file system. The idea behind it is that odex files load up on boot to help speed up loading the APK's. However, it makes it hard to modify the system APK's since it loads parts from odex and parts from the APK.
Deodexing is basically repackaging the APK's and odex files so that they are reassembled and therefore making sure the application package is back in once piece.
This allows the ability to make theming modifications (battery, clock color etc.) without conflict, knowing that the application package is back together.
There are no ROM's per se yet for the SGS4G there is the Bali Kernel which adds some great enhancements made by Dr Honk, see it in the SGS4G android development forum.
There are also SGS4G deodexed kernels such as VUVKD1 DEODEXED from Krylon360 or Whitehawkx, also in the Android Development forum. These builds of the kernel provide the ability for theming, with Whitehawkx build you have the ability to do custom lock screens, there is a mod for supporting custom boot animations etc.
Hopefully this helps you understand more

So there is VUVKB5, VUVKC1 (Unreleased engineering build), VUVKD1 (Latest Build).
Haven't heard of KB1, I think you probably have it mixed up with KD1.
Anyhow, KB5 to KD1 there were bug fixes, MMS related bug issues fixed etc. The change log is here:

ok, so Krylon360 is working on CWM for the SGS4G and (at some point) talks about using KD1, so how can I go about flashing KD1 to my phone without using a windows PC (i have a mac)?
Sorry for noob question. I've been studying hard lately and with all the recent developments it had been overwhelming. Anyway.
I have been trying to download the modded recovery binary needed for CWM 3.0 directly to my phone using the multiupload link provided by Krylon360.
When I try to download it on my phone I get cannot download content not supported on my phone. Am I doing something wrong that I can't download straight to my phone? Do I need to check to a box somewhere?
Do I have to download the recovery binary and CWM to a computer first and then to my phone?
Is there a way I can do this with just my phone? I have Root explorer pro, super manager, file explorer, ect...I was really hoping to do it using my phone because I don't have full time access to a pc.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I downloaded it to my computer and then moved it to my phone using Awesome Drop (found in the Market) and then put the binary in the proper folder using Root Explorer but since you don't have full time access to a computer I don't know how you would go about this. I would suggest just using the limited time that you have on the computer, it should only take a few minutes

I'll check that out when I can...if I'm going to be modding I should probably pick myself up a good inexpensive laptop.
I am so used to being a download/install nut that I was hoping to be able to do it in a more familiar way. This modding stuff is a whole other ballgame and I can't wait to play. Lol.

Go into root explorer and go to /system/bin and then paste the file there. It will prompt to overwrite the.current recovery file and just replace it although I suggest copying the original to your external SD card first just in case

Ok here's my little FroyobyLaszlo mod. YES ITS A TERRIBLE EVIL WINZIP
Pretty much all the credit should go to him (Laszlo) for this ROM!
Once I start doing some more advanced tweaking then I'll be able to give myself some credit without feeling guilty
Pretty much the main new feature is that you can customize what system apps to flash.
Changes:
-complete
~in progress
Code:
~1.2
~system mount as rw on boot will become an option
-1.1
-system mounted as rw on boot
-customization(install.txt)
*So all those apps I removed can now be customized if they install or not
-updated LauncherPro to latest version 0.8.6 as of 1/9/2012
1.0 (from froyobylaszlo)
-edited update script, made the installation a bit more detailed and informative
-removed calendar
-removed onscreenkeyboard (faster! use your slide out keyboard!)
-removed livewallpapers picker
-removed text to speech
-removed protips widget
-removed voice dialer
-added stock sounds and fonts
-added gmail
-added youtube
-changed bootscreen
Download:
1.1 - ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/?unp8qba8pp7rqas
Install Config: http://hostfile.org/install.txt (rightclick>save as...)
1.0 - ROM: http://www.sendspace.com/file/o2auyh
Install Instructions:
First of all you need to have radio 2.22.27.08/2.22.28.25 & hboot 1.33.0013d. Instructions on install are here.
Then you should partition your sd like so:
swap (i really recommend it) somewhere around 120 plus/minus 50mb...im being very approximate here...it depends on how much space you're willing to give up
ext4 (recommend it too) depends on how many apps you want...512mb will probably be enough for most
Wipe your phone with a superwipe. Then do all the wipe options in recovery and do "repair ext"
Download the needed files.
Open up install.txt with your favorite text editor and edit it to what you want to install. Default is everything install. Don't add any extra spaces or anything to the file. Only change "yes" to "no" and "no" to "yes".
Copy frayo-signed.zip and install.txt to the root of your SD card.
Flash it in recovery.
Once its done reboot and follow onscreen instructions to sign in and stuff (or you can skip).
Now here are some settings you need to set:
If you have sd-ext partition:
Settings>Extras>Application>Allow moving
Settings>Extras>Application>Install Location>Sd-ext
If you have swap:
Settings>Extras>Performance>Swap
Recommended:
Settings>Extras>Performance>Lock Home in Memory
I don't recommend changing CPU settings
To fix black clock in notification bar:
Settings>Extras>User Interface>Reset UI Tweaks
I really recommend you turn off market updates, the new market is too slow:
Open terminal emulator.
Type
Code:
su
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
If the market manages to sneak in an update before you do this go to Settings>Applications>Manage>Market>Uninstall updates
Reboot and Enjoy!

Hmmm...won't hurt to try
How it works is it copies everything at first...then it scans the install.txt and for every "no" it deletes the app
Not sure if recovery will give errors for the file not being there...

if your going to make an aosp rom do a gingerbread, froyo never has been too perfect for the g1. granted there are a a few out there that run pretty well (laszlos and im sure yours) but the devs seem to get 2.3 working a hell of a lot better then 2.2 on the g1s
frankenbread?
Ill see...
I just think gingerbread will be too slow
I'm actually compiling aosp froyo for the g1 right this second
Just to try it out
And I think my computer might not be powerful enough to compile gingerbread...well I don't think so but that's what the android source site says
According to the android source site id need a lot more RAM...
We'll see, because I also don't have enough space for the gingerbread source, and I don't want to repartition my drive right now because activating windows was a pain already last time
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk
heres a theme i made that is similar to the Cianbread theme from theme chooser, make sure you back up the rom just incase it bootloops..

It seems simple but our roms does not seem to have a init.d support... I have no idea what that is.

I already tried asking...very nicely and without spamming...how to get it to work as the original gnex script creator said it can be used on ANY phone in ANY rom as long as the kernel has init.d support. But still no kernel Dev has answered this question. Oh well.

That's right. The script assigns a number to each bootanimation zip file and then every boot, you see a different animation. It seems really simple but I have no idea how to get it to work as I don't know much about android codes etc. I'm really surprised no one has picked up on this. I think it is so awesome!

Of course. I already tried. That's why I know it does not work. I'm currently on a rom with sebfms kernel. Either it is rom related or kernel but it definitely has something to do with init.d. folder in the system/etc folder. My current bootanimation is stored in system/media and the script is looking for the files in data/ local. The creator of script said it bypasses the system /media and uses data/local where various bootanimation zips are stored. I don't know. The script is not being called upon boot. I give up. Those who knows how to make it work are not exactly paying attention.

Just taken a look at the script and it is good to go, all you need is your custom bootanimation.zip files in /data/local/bootanimations/
If the script is not being loaded on boot it is because your ramdsk (the other half of boot.zip, 1st half is kernel so kernel + ramdisk = boot.img) doesnt have inbuilt init.d script support

I'm sorry but if people can't read I will start to lose my temper.
It is stated in both the OP of the original thread and in my last post that;
1. You need a ROM that supports init.d script
2. Bootanimations should be renamed to whatever then placed in /data/local/bootanimations/
Seriously how hard is it to read 1 post above yours

And yeah I reboot my phone since I go to recovery to flash zips. Ever heard of those? Apparently that concept eludes you.

Correct.
There is a app I came across called BootRandimation.

I have never used it so I don't know how well it works, but it is supposed to do what you want.

Tried it but it didn't work. I only tested it real quick though. The developer should at least have a trial version as it takes longer than 15 minutes to know how to set it up and reboot. Thanks for the heads up on the app.

Just flashed the 60mb file from the link in op, works fine. But I am running aosp and bricked 1.6 kernel. If your phone runs init.d scripts at boot this will work. Is a nifty idea tho, cos I have 20 different animations so will be a surprise everytime I reboot.

Finally found a rom where init.d scripts are enabled. The script in OP works as it should. I'm on AOKP rom from eggyenergy on rootzwiki.

Has anyone run this to 100%?
I tried using the scripts in Nocturnal_Special_Edition_1.1_Odex. I had no idea how long this process was going to take. Parts of the script asked me to edit a .jar file because the scripts have problems with odex and ics. I eventually gave up on the script altogether after getting to 50%. I also didn't notice any positive changes after what I had done.
Let me know about any of yalls experiences!?!?
Bro I did the same exact thing... Thought I could enable it and check off a few tweaks with mobile terminal. Gave up on that ****. Some of the more experienced users told me not really to mess with it as I'm still a noob.. if you looking for performance tweaks, try beast mode kernal... He did away with fast boot, so its totally twrp flashable.. awesome speed, awesome battery tweaks, and stable..

You don't really need v6 on dual core.It was usefull on older devices
I can confirm that after running at least the 3G tweak in that script that my mobile data speeds increased alot. My LTE speeds went from about 17mbps to 25-50mbps in the same area (my couch lol)

I highly recommended that rom! Its super fast, stable and beautiful...Xs did a great job on it
Sent from my fire-breathing HTC One XL using xda-developer app
I get 51Mb download LTE speed,13mb upload without any scripts.It all depends on Rom,I guess.
I hope flashing another rom undid all the changes v6 made.

Pretty sure it's easy enough to delete - uninstall changes made by the script. There is a whole thread about it from the guy who designed it here on XDA.

I attempted this as well and just gave up after I needed to download and modify the jar file due to my rom being odexed too. but it did manage to fix some of the apps that were fcing on me everytime i opened them.

Go through it and pick option 15 (I believe it is). That un-supercharges it.
It will whine at you and call you a sissy several times, but it will undo it all, lol.
Anyone got this working without any side effects (force closes, some account removed, etc)?

Yes, flashing another ROM will indeed "undo" the changes done by V6 Supercharger because you have replaced all of the files it modifies with fresh ones.
The Supercharger script was just updated yesterday

Ok our device is great without ram assistance the reason i decided to get this mod ported is I still have my 530mb Linux swap partition on my 64GB SD card from when I was using it on my GT-I9300 and I didn't really want to re-partition my SD-card so instead of wiping it off I might aswel use it as SWAP and hey if anything it will help our devices , it wont hurt it. And yes I know we have plenty of ram but ay if there is even the slightest chance it may help down the track why not ay? Ok so if you want to know about the MOD here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814311&highlight=swap
But do not download the MOD zip on that thread as it is not ported to our device: bellow is our version of the mod.
-=ATTENTION=-If you have installed my rom > [PANDORIAM] < or any other rom with Busybox and Init.D support then just skip to the second step
1st STEP - Note you will need Root access, A kernel with support, I am using >>> (Perseus) by Andreilux & Init.d support Look at my other thread if you do not have Init.D support it can be easily done. Also to have Init.D support you will need BusyBox I reccomend Stericson Busybox . Once downloaded and installed open it and Make sure you choose to install busybox files in >>>>>> system/xbin you will see an option for this when you open up the busybox app.
2nd STEP - You also need a partition to be used as swap. I used a mini-tool partition Home edition (Free) Now when you make your partition use the first partition section of your SD-card for your main partition that you always use, then leave some space at the end of the SD-card (I would say no more then 250mb and this is probably more then enough for our devices) to make your swap partition please note the partition type HAS to be -=Linux Swap=- now thats all done................................
Instructions are very simple. Go into Recovery Mode > Choose to install zip from sd-card > select the hard-swap zip file > reboot
If you want to uninstall do the same thing but flash the uninstall zip instead.
If you want more clear detailed description and also instructions about this mod then goto the main thread I pasted above. I tried to test this mod by opening every app i can think off and not closing them to try and see if the swap will be used, I managed to get almost 6.5mb of the swap in use LOOL you can see how good our memory is, as time goes on and your device does not get switched off, this amount will likely rise or go down depending on what you do for example after a day of hectic use it actually reached 30mb of swap used but after awhile this went back down (Because our phone is a machine!! ).... Oh well I guess my device is now even more future proof
Thanks to Yank555 for porting this for us this also Andreilux for his awesome kernel and whoever else I missed. Peace V
... and you need a kernel.

Oh Really? Well I am using yours so I guess why I didnt have any problems. I will Now update the OP
Thank you
I'm about to try. Thank you!
I am interested to see if this effects performance much. I suspect benchmark figures might increase but you wouldnt really expect to see any real world advantages? Wouldnt mind to hear other opinons.

I assume it would only take affect under heavy load and heavy multitasking... I dont think it would affect benchmark at all.

When I mean heavy Load I meant heavy Multitasking... I dont think benchmarking stimulates multitasking... I mean if I am wrong correct me.
thought benchmarking only loads up the CPU and GPU mostly
Not sure if this a coincedence
Well ay you might be right but i am not sure... As I just did a quadrant run and its the highest score i have got since I had this phone. But I think it is just a coencedence
What did you get beforehand? I only get 5543. Maybe we should have a benchmark post?
EDIT : Also why is your battety circle blue and not green? Do you have jellybean looking toggle buttons or the big green samsung ones?

I have the the Mod installed that has 15 toggles (Blue design), I also have installed the Extended power menu mod. My previous score is around 7000 But I am overclocked to 1.7ghz with Perseus Kernel and i am not sure if this makes a difference but I am deodexed/zipaligned and I have removed all bloatware.
Ah of course I forgot yoh had the oc happening. I should give it a run and see how it goes. I have XXLI9 with no bloatware. Cant seem to get extended power menu to work though.
Which oc app do you use?

I don't get it... we have 2GB of ram on a mobile phone, what are you doing that requires a swap file on top of that may I ask?
though, if it's just because you can, then very well haha!
tbh on a mobile device I firmly believe the main use of a swap file is to wear your SDcard down faster.

LOOL yeh it is mainly because I can hahah and because i didnt want to re-partition my SD-Card so instead of having 530mb wasted, I used it for swap, and i thought i may aswell share it. And yes if the swap is heavly used it may wear it down faster which is why i said create the small partition at the end of the sdcard so it wont affect the majority. And because we have 2gb it wont be used very often so should be fine that being said people on devices have been using hardswap for over a year without damaging anything. And thats with a device with less memory so its actually in use alot more then ours
