I'm wondering what kernels everyone is using that are stable?
Now that Undead is out of the biz, I'm wondering what kernels people recommend to replace the stock kernel for stable usage. I don't need overclocking, what I want is bone stable and return to the Google-stock contact manager. (Sense can't find business contacts, doesn't have favorites, etc)
I see this one:
BulletProof http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360746
Is there anything else anyone recommends for stable use? I'm really hoping to only have to do this change once, and then stay on the new kernel until I replace the phone.
Bulletproof is using a stock gingerbread kernel at the moment.
The reason for this is that ROM was/is being developed for testing overclock limits with kernel edits, but to get a solid baseline it's a stock kernel at the moment.
Due to work constraints and now devoting a majority of my time to the S-OFF issue , I hadn't had time to circle back to pushing modified kernels.
In unraveling the S-OFF issue where we are down to now is having to modify the kernel to continue, so i've been working on kernels again recently. That's actually where my dev time is being spent now, so i'll probably post some over the next few weeks.
AgentCherryCola actually started putting together a list of kernels we have available a little bit ago, which you can find here:
HTC Doubleshot Kernels. February 21, 2012.
Might want to check it out. It does include the stock kernel UndeadK9 compiled from straight HTC kernel source with no modifications.
You can also get that kernel with an HTC signature from flashing the boot.img available in the stock PG59IMG.zip found here:
Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.28.531.9_Radio_10.48.9007.00U_1 0.12.9007.07_M2_release Thanks to football for posting it for us. This is the 2.6.35.10 kernel and is the same one you would compile if you downloaded the HTC source from the HTCDev website.
You can get the updated HTC kernel (version 2.6.35.13) from the leaked HTC OTA 1.55.531.3 software update I found recently, also uploaded by football found here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0f....00_11.16.3504.20_2_release_227956_signed.zip
But it's actually a kernel.img file within the OTA PG59IMG.zip package, and won't flash right or work correctly unless you update the whole phone to this package.
NOTE: If you are S-ON when you update, you will not be able to get S-OFF at this time.
You can also obtain the 2.6.35.10 version of the kernel through any of the boot.img files found in my dev reference, here is the posting:
boot, hboot

That should give you a good start in finding what you are looking for, any questions just ask!

1. It didn't list any other Undead or Bulletproof kernel
2. The only link to a sense-less kernel that was stable was for the Unity kernel, but there's no mention of the 4G Slide in the Unity downloads area.

I keep seeing comments about this. Is there a link with the whole story? I'm on bone-stock HTC with kernel version 2.6.35.10-g6dea02d from Jun 27, 2011. Does this mean that S-OFF isn't currently possible?
Thanks for your help.

Stock HTC gingerbread kernel. You can't run the device without an HTC kernel or one built from HTC source, plain and simple.
The kernel is what contains all of the device-specific information on how the software can use the hardware present.
If you flashed a kernel from another device, the absolute best case scenario is nothing will work.

Like much of XDA, it's a works in progress. I am sure Agent will update as time allows and options are available, but we're all volunteer in our spare time here so think of his thread as the foundation of our guide to available kernels. It's a good start.
I doubt very highly that any of Undead's other kernels would be present in a thread on XDA since he has been banned, so the only one acceptable to post here would be the stock one he compiled before that happened. Anything more would get the thread locked.
(let's not derail this thread on that subject, this thread can help people in the future if we don't get it locked over that.)
Bulletproof only has one kernel at this point that is publicly available.

The kernel itself really has nothing to do with S-ON or OFF.
The limiting factor here would be if you were on hboot 1.45.0013 and S-ON.
If that were the case there is currently no method to obtain S-OFF for the device (working on it). We do now have a fixed version to the software that should be on the device and if you flash that then you can unlock the hboot and do some things. See this thread if you need to unlock:
Root the latest OTA when the HTC Unlocker tool doesn't work
If you are S-ON and NOT on the 1.45.0013 hboot, you should obtain S-OFF before updating to the most recent OTA or you will not be able to S-OFF the device at this time.

Hey guys,
I am in the process of trying to build a custom kernel for the incredible S, but as it happens HTC have only released sources for the Froyo version, not the Gingerbread version
In my quests to find the changes need to upgrade this kernel to run on 2.3, I am building a kernel for the Saga,as the Desire S was released with 2.3 the sources should be as well.
Anyway, long story short. I have a custom kernel for the saga, with an overclock available and it is quite easy to port all the other features I have added to my kernel without the video / camera problem (assuming this is the 2.3 source, which it looks like it should be), and I see you don't have any custom kernels, is anyone interested in testing?
hi mate, im developin a custom kernel as we speak but yh wudnt mind testing urs... u use the saga 2.6.35 kernel source code?
Sorry didnt realise someone was already on it. Yeah I am using it cause I think it has the changes I need in the board files, and I accidently overclocked it by editing the wrong files. If.you want I can speak to you about what changes you wanna make so you can start devving it on your own

Well done dude !!! I've been following your quest for root and S-OFF on the IS forum, no one here is trying for S-OFF. Our best bet is someone like you porting an IS or Sensation exploit. I'm S-On so i can't test. But since the saga (DS) and IS have the same processor, i'm assuming this goes up to 1.8 Ghz too. Correct me if i'm wrong.
When will be a download link i will test the kernel.
i was wondering if it will work with a Desire kernel? can i try a desire kernel or is a bad ideea?
i miss cifs
trying a desire kernel is a very bad idea mihaibuda u must wait for a desire s kernel
send you a PM dude
OK Doesn anyone know how to flash a zImage? If not, if someone sends me a boot.img from the stock Desire S ROM I can pack it up into an update zip

How's that coming along? I aquired a Sensation today, and am interested in a similar effort, or a ground-up AOSP. I checked the htcdev site and found multiple kernel tarballs with no clear indication of which one was for my device. I'll have to crack them open and hope there's some info in there. Still unclear on what non-AOSP source outside of the kernel I might need for an AOSP effort. May just pull down the CM source instead...
OK I have a Sensation onto which I have installed various ROM's including some of the more recent ICS versions. So far the ICS versions have been far from perfect so I'd be very interested in the new official HTC ICS when it gets released by HTC.
Does the fact that I've already installed various after market ROMs limit my ability to access this new official release when it comes? Do I need to do anything to allow me to receive such an official upgrade from HTC? Do I need to go and dig up the backups I'm sure I made prior to removing the official stock ROM?
Any help gratefully received

To recieve official upgrades you will have to return your device to stock however, when the official upgrade get's pushed, within hours the devs will have produced original and modified stock roms which you will be able to flash just like roms that you have already flashed so i wouldn't worry.
In the dev forum, there is several roms based on the latest 3.32.401.5 ics release which could be the official release candidate or, at worst, is very close to it.
Perhaps you should try flashing one of these.
From my experience you need to go back to completely stock just like it was when you bought it. Which means stock rom s-on your cid back to whatever it was and stock recovery. Hope this helps
To receive official upgrades I believe you must un root your device and have the stock from installed on to it

I may be wrong, but i'm not sure that s-on is necessary.
If you choose to go back to s-on, be very careful, several people (including myself ) have bricked their devices doing this. Follow the instructions to the letter. You have been warned.

Alternatively you could install Android Revolution HD custom ROM, which uses the official HTC ICS ROM as the base, just with several tweaks and improvements. There'll be no looking back once you do!

The G1 Oracle​
Some of us decided to start a new thread like Royalknight6190's ROM Bible, because that hasn't been updated since Feb. 2011. However, as demkantor pointed out, the ROM Bible is pretty up to date up until Froyo, so there's not much point just reposting stuff. Therefore, although I have gone down as far as Eclair, I've only added new, relevant ROMs. Please PM me if I have missed out a ROM, this needs to be kept up-to-date
Credits: Don't know how we're gonna sort credits out, over the years there'll be tonnes of people we want to thank!

On a general note to everyone, do people want versions of Android in ascending or descending order? i.e. ascending (from cupcake through to Jelly bean) or descending (from Jelly bean down to cupcake)?
I say newest first, as people probably want to see what's newest right away. Also the older stuff is all linked in the rom bible

the rom bible is realy complete up to early 2011 or so, since then most roms have been froyo and up, actualy the rom bible probably has everything ecliar and older so if we start with the latest people can have the all in one place for roms that have never been listed before.

Actually demkantor mentioned a cleanup as well there, so maybe consider what you want and then self report the thread and let us know.

Definitely!
It's hard to find the newest roms, not that there are many anymore. They tend to get buried by posts to old roms.
Maybe starting up that site again would be a good idea?
It'll be a lot more flexible than this :|
If you think so, we have two choices on how to do it:
1. phpbb (authorship will get awkward, since original devs arent around to post their roms)
2. html (will be the most flexible, but also most difficult )
and *sigh*
3. Me and my friend (a php coder) code a web platform for this specific purpose. This is by far the best way, but will take the most time and effort.
I see what you mean, this is proving difficult to make more widely editable. Also sorry for the gaps, I haven't had much time to work on this.
Hey thanks bro for mentioning me!
To clear up some info, the ezgb linaro kernel is built by me for cm9, and is just the ezgb 1.5.3 ics kernel built with linaro. I had further plans for it, but I've had very little free time recently.
The 1.5.3 kernel is built by me from anddisa's git without code changes. His code was just ezterrys latest kernel plus some patches needed on ics. I just compiled and posted.

Ahh thanks for info. The ezgb linaro doesn't boot for me by the way, so I always have to use the normal ezgb 1.5.3 for ICS, which works fine. 2078 radio.

Hello, i currently have installed the CM10 with the old kernel version.
Reading much of the new posts in the development zone, i see that to get a new ROM i have to update the kernel.
I'm thinking about updating to the Carbon rom, but i notice that i need the new kernel so i can update to this ROM.
My question is this, going from the CM10 with S-ON and the OLD Kernel, what do i need to do to go to the new ROM with the new 3.4 kernel? (In the threads i always see the need to have S-OFF, and i think i'm not interested in going that way)
Will this move prevent me to return to the CM10 backup that i made with the TWRP recovery?
And a final question, what are the bugs that i will notice from moving to the new kernel?
Thanks in advance.
You will be able to go back to a back up. S-off is much better as you can flash at any given time without the need to flash boot.IMG. that'd what makes it better to get the 3.4 kernel you need to have a hboot of 1.13.00.00 or higher. Some are lucky and can have low hboots and flash it while many others( most everybody) can not do this.
