Do not update faux kernal!! 2.5.1

Im having issues that the lockscreen is freezing up so i have to pull out the battery to make it work again

You can't make such a bold statement, and not include info like what ROM you're running and other relevant info. There's also no need to start a new thread...there's already a thread on the Gingerbread kernel in the development section.

So, because you're having problems, you want to warn everyone on problems that no one else is having??..
Faux's kernels are working just fine for me.

Faux's Kernels are fine. Update and don't listen to this Guy.

WOW. Really, Really ???
Running without a kernel...That's amazing...
Faux's kernels are rock solid...Running 2.5.1 since release and NO issues...

then why has my mytouch freezing alot when i get it out of sleep

Plus i am on RoyalGinger V1.6

OP is an idiot. Faux kernel works fantastic. If you have problem with the rom, ask in the rom thread. Don't try and talk about something you don't understand.

Had problems with it the other day. Running stock rom. Kept losing signal and data. Wifi stopped after about 10 minutes and had to restart the phone just to get it working again. Went back to what I was using before and problem went away.
Not sure what the real deal was as I have NEVER had a problem with his kernal.

The kernel being discussed here is faux's Gingerbread version.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a Mytouch 4G forum that was specifically for roms, kernals, and any other type of hacking? Oh wait there is one and this thread is in the wrong forum.

you're a retard.. the reason why your phone is freezing on lockscreen, is cause you either have setcpu installed & have your screen off settings too low! don't have Max set below 368, which 245 freezes your phone! set min& Max to 368 and you will not get any freeze ups and save a lot of battery also! try it!
just don't make a thread about smashing someone's kernal who works so hard to make it for us! faux has great kernals, & you should give him the credit.

Lol sorry. Was on latest cm when tried it. Long day forgot what all I went through with this. Went back to stock rom after it was screwing up. Prolly try again with cm and this kernal. Think maybe it was a bad download causing the problem for me. Although would think I would get some kind of error when installing it.

First check whatever Rom is fully downloaded. Then check to make sure you fully downloaded the kernel. Make sure you have the proper kernel for your rom. Make sure you wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Then install the proper kernel when it boots up let everything load for 4-5 minutes then reboot. If your using a low voltage version try stock version. Also use the cfs kernel and not bfs since your phone is lagging.

[ROM][CWM] Stock Deodexed KJ2 w/Root [11/1/11] - PDT

This is a Stock ROM for the KJ2 update that we never officially received. Its Deodexed and Rooted with the Modified recovery inside already, so you can use CWM.
Everything is Stock KJ2. The Kernel and Modem and everything else is untouched. Just rooted with the modded recovery, and deodexed.
Same install Method. Check mounts and remember to disable voodoo if you have it enabled or you'll soft brick (Remember this has a Stock Kernel!).

There may be various bug fixes, but there wont be anything MAJOR compared to the other stock ROMs. They are auto compiled and they dont give us a list of whats been addressed or not. You can try them out to see if you notice a difference, or if your happy with what you have keep it. Remember you can always make a backup and restore.

Downloading now. Thanks ayoteddy

Downloading now & switching base's for my new LRV2 to KJ2 if it's good enough .

Are u kidding me? how did I miss this. Crap. @ayoteddy where did you find the untouched stock version so I can get to deodexing another new base for my newest update.

Sure do.

There aren't any real new features to this version, there's some bugfixes (undisclosed, as it is a dev build), and some random new bloat widgets/apps.

Still, cut the fat, keep the meat of the ROM. This phone (like most of them) runs really well when you tear out the garbage that Samsung/T-Mobile preloaded on it. I've been playing with Undead9k's KG2-based ROM the past few days and removed even more stuff from the ROM (and added a couple of things I wanted) and it finally 'feels' like the old Sidekicks did. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from us having this update.

Got this flashed last night after some stupidity on my part. Thanks teddy for uping this! If you ever decide to release a bare bones version of this, I'd greatly appreciate it as I hate debloating ROM's. No T-Mobile stuff, no Amazon MP3, Books, and most of the Google crap (all but GMail, Marketplace, and Maps) removed.

This rom doesnt randomly force close like previous roms, nor does it reboot randomly either. Great job. Those were my only gripes with others, thanks!

Since install, this ROM hasn't bogged down on me at all. I only seem to have two small issues with it but if they could be eliminated, this would be a perfect stock ROM. After being plugged in to USB for a long period of charging, the phone can't play my custom ringtones. A reboot fixes this. The ringtone still shows there and the MicroSD is still mounted after being disconnected but even trying to reselect the same ringtone or another from the SD card just gives silence. Second issue is, heavy traffic causes data to fail. I can consistantly replicate this using Shazam to find song information. This does happen, as I said, only when the device is sending and receiving a lot of data. I'm going to try a different radio to see if this fixes that.

This is a literal stock rom, as being straight from Samsung, not just being in the design of stock. The only difference this has from stock is that it's deodexed and rooted, it's intended to be a base for those who like the stock system but want to be able to theme/mod it.

Everytime i flash faux kernel, g2x goes black

Hello all you g2x users. Just got a g2x. Ran thru all the different roms without flashing a kernel. DL both ds/cm faux kernels, when i flash it, the screen goes black when rebooting. Reading the op, every room i have tried it with is compatible. Anyone have this happen
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

U are flashing wrong kernel.

Roms and kernels?

roms were eaglesblood and weapon. the kernels were the faux ds, cm, and gb which im sure was supposed to work. i really want to load a kernel to get my g2x getting higher scores then my sensation. already did stock if i remember right.

We need exact name and version of rom you are currently on, just whitehawks or cm7 wont due.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

That's what I was trying to say. I have tried several combos. Right notei just tried eaglesblood with faux gb kernel. I will look up the name and post back

Eaglesblood has 2 versions and you must use the correct kernel for the specific version. Example: if you are using weapon rom you cannot use faux cm version kernel. If you are using eaglesblood cm version rom you cannot use faux gb kernel. Read carefully and make sure you are mating them correctly.

EaglesBlood is based on an older version of CM. The current version of Faux's CM kernel (0.44) is based on 173+. You need to use version 0.43 (at the bottom of the OP) for 10-15-11.
For Weapon you have to use Faux's GB (gingerbread) kernel. Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720
Read carefully for stock voltage or OC/UV (OverClock/UnderVolt), both versions 0.1.3.

Groove is correct.

so i loaded up eaglesblood 10-15 and derkernel and it was cool that i could finally overclock my g2x but i took a call and when i pulled the phone away to end the call the screen went black and no matter what i did i couldnt get the screen back on. had to pull the battery. nothing like that had ever happened til i loaded derkernel and turned it up to 1.5 ghz, anyone else have this happen??

The call wonk is a known issue with cm based roms. Listen, you've got to read the threads a little better before someone gets upset at you for asking questions that have already been answered. Usually you can find out about known issues in the OP (Original Post).

Also use the Stock Volt SV roms. There are 4 types of kernels. Regular Overclocked/Undervolted and stock volt... each one has CM and DS battery driver.
I used the SV DS one.
His standard pre overclocked kernel never booted for me. His rom never worked for me either.... got the black death too. So choose wisely.

I was not aware that call wonk was an issue on the g2x.
I understand where you are coming from but you can read the op in the "eaglesblood 10-15" thread and there was nothing about an issues such as call wonk. I thought the only phone with that issue was the sensation. I have had a number of android phones and trust me I have done my fair share of reading. If i remember right the only reason I started this thread in the first place was because on that day I had flashed several different combinations of roms/kernels and what I was reading wasnt translating when I tried to flash them. I am sellling my sensation and using this g2x in the mean time til the galaxy nexus finally gets off the boat.

Run tpc's V3 has the best battery life plus use da_g's script rather than using app to oc.
Battery life for me when i had the rom it was50% after 24 hours.

Have to say I like Red Sonja the best. And I have tried them all.
But until its out of beta tpc's is a good one. So is quickwiz.

Thought you might be interested in that too.

I'm on the Ice Cream Sandwich theme/rom it is great and looks good

I've tried SkyICS, TPC, QuikWiz, SkyRocketeer, and CM7. So far CM7 is my favorite, though it was the biggest pain to set up and YouTube videos don't play back correctly. They're all good, and it's easy to try them, so I'd recommend trying as many as you want.

Roms that allow call recording.

I am in serious need of a rom that will allow me to record my calls. I recently (yesterday) was awarded custody of my son. I now have to schedule visitation with his mother and would like to have recorded proof. I will be notifying her at the onset of each call that they will be. These will all be in case she doesn't show for scheduled visitations.l to prove that I have been setting time aside. Please any he'll would be good. My system is a rooted captivate with stock kernal running stock gingerbread minus some bloatware. Ive only wandered across thread discuasing apks and other files that ive no clue about changine to do so. Thanks for any help.

The Firefly ROM can record calls. IMO Firefly was one of the most polished ROMs out there. Unfortunately it is Froyo, but it's still an amazing ROM. Check out this post I made a few months ago about getting call recording to work as well as the whole thread on call recording. Hopefully this helps, good luck.

I'd like to run that as my phone ran better on and came stock with froyo. Once I updated to Ginger it began to suck. Force closes, lagging. It been terrible but I can't upgrade the phone until next year at upgrade time. It has been a great $0.97 phone. I've tried to load roms and it doesn't work. I get some e:signature verification error. What would be the best way to load this rom. I am new to all of this and would love to learn more. However even in the tutorials I run across acronyms I don't know. Could someone please give me the easiest way to load this rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA

Two things:
1. If you're having trouble with acronyms, take a look at the "XDA Terms and Acronyms" post. That should help you out.
2. To get around the 3e signature issue, your best bet would be to flash a Froyo kernel with ClockworkMod recovery already included via Odin or Heimdall. I would suggest Onix, as it's a good kernel and I know it works with Firefly from previous experience.

thanks
thanks for the help. it is certainly appreciated. i just flashed the odin kernal. does it matter that the phone is currently running stock gb? also how long does it take to load? i like literally just did it at 10:14pm on wednesday june 20, 2012.

Well I flashed a stock kernal with cwm already inside and was then able to download firefly and flash it. I really like it. Ultra smooth. Much faster than stock gb. Thanks to all who responded. Thanks to all the guys at xda. Y'alls work is great. Too bad they haven't tried updating firefly to gb. I think it'd be great.

Team Phoenix aka The Collective aka The Family did come out with a great GB ROM called Mosaic. While Mosaic is themed blue, it does have a flashable Firefly theme here if you're partial to that.
They also came out with an ICS ROM, Fusion. Unfortunately it doesn't have a Firefly theme but it does have a green theme that looks pretty good as well.
It is important to note that the Firefly ROM is the only one that has call recording. It was never implemented in any of the more recent ROMs. Hopefully this helps.

I like firwfly in that it is quicker than the stock gb and it supports call recording. I needed it at the request of my attorney to record all calls with my sons mom. Id like to get back to a gb based rom that supports call recording. I don't want to try a ics rom until its more stable and safer. Don't want to render my phone useless.
