[Q] Stable kernel - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
This is my first time on the forum, so I hope I'm not going to break any rules without knowing it.
I'm looking for a very stable kernel, but I have a hard time finding one that suits my needs mainly because of my lack of knowledge. I have flashed a few ROM's most of wich were different versions of Kyrillos Froyo ROM's. They came with the G3Mod OC kernel wich worked pretty well overall. Two problems were really bugging me though.
When I pushed the back or home button sometimes my phone would instantly freeze and the only thing left to do was a battery pull, or a long press on the power button.
Second problem was what some refer to as black screen of death, i believe. The phone would'nt wake-up after the screen had been turnt off.
I found that changing the voltages in SetCPU, like Kyrillos says in his FAQ, didn't help. So after a while I flashed the NON-OC ROM and that did a perfect job!
Now I've flashed the ICS Rom build 4 update 1 and it works perfect for me (performance wise, offcourse it still has alot of bugs). The only problem is, again, the freezing and the (not) waking issue. I tried to flash a G3Mod NON-OC kernel, but then the phone doesn't boot at all. When I tried to flash Arakmar's kernel (even tough that is still an OC-Kernel) from the ICS post, the colors seemed inverted or something.
To get back to the question: Is there a NON-OC Kernel that can run ICS? Or is there maybe a solution to get an OC-Kernel working on my phone?
I hope you guys can help me with this.
And I hope I have made a clear post. (since English isn't my primary language)
Cheers.

Well, arakmar posted an fix in the ics forum. It was something with the samsung gralloc.

Do you mean the ics24.zip? Thats the one I tried when it gave me the color bug...

even if a kernel supports OC you don't need to push your phone if it can't take it, try setcpu to put the clock to stock values

Astrum Kernel works quite well but it's still quite buggy. Try Astrum Blackhole when it is released.

Forgot to mention that I already tried that, thats the weird thing about it. The problem was still there.

Welkom!
If you use a froyo ROM i would recommend the fugumod ultra kernel, that one is as stable as hell!

Tried that, as I mentioned in the first post. The phone froze on the kernel splash screen :/ (thats called a bootloop right?). I think that kernel could solve my problem if I could get it to work with ICS and it doesn't have the same color bug as Arakmar ics24.zip kernel I tried before.

I finally took the time to try flashing the G3Mod kernel while wiping data, cache and Dalvik-cache but it didn't help. Still stuck at the kernel screen
Any more suggestions on how to get this to work?

That doesn't make sense ... try reflashing the rom, wipe dat, cache and dalvik cache, flash kernel. Its so weird, your phone should have booted...

My phone likes to be different I guess
There is something else though: when I try to wipe Dalvik-cache just after flashing ICS he doesn't give me the menu where I should comfirm if I want to wipe Dalvik, he just sits there and does nothing, when I push it several times the phone reboots. After I flash the G3Mod kernel and try to wipe the Dalvik-cache it says: "E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl7 (File exists)"
Does this matter or is this something to be ignored?

try g3mod 2.0 b3....it's pretty good ...i checked it for multiboot...
Install cm7 and apply update1.zip and install g3mod 2.0 b3 ...then go to recovery and backup your cm7 ...then put any froyo rom IMG in another folder of /sdcard/g3mod/roms/romname/
then try swithing between roms it'll work definitely......Worked for me....

if you switch from froyo to Cm7...wipe data/factory reset in cwm....and then you restore
cm7 data...if you have backup of it...that works

[Q] link2sd on CM7 A7 does not work anymore with G3MOD 2.4.1

Does anybody know what happens to the link2sd script when installing the new G3MOD 2.4.1 kernel on CM7 A7?
Link2sd always reports that it could not mount the 2nd partition and recreates the mount script.
After flashing back the CM7 1.2 kernel link2sd works fine again.
Is there something I could do to get link2sd running on G3MOD 2.4.1?
use hd2sd...it works flawlesly...

I'm afraid that HybridData2SD is no alternative for link2sd. I do not want to move all my apps to the SD as it is much slower than the internal memory. So want to have most of the important apps in internal memory and the others on the SD.
Link2sd did a great job to achieve this, but it does not work on G3mod 2.4.1 anymore.
Does anybody know why?
How did u get hd2sd to work
after enabling hd2sd when i try to install an app eg Titanium my phone just reboots

One more thing, how do you partion sdcard in stock cm1.3 hv kernel on kyrillos v10 beta 2
Partitioning should work within CWM.
By the way: This is not the Thread to ask such questions.
It's about link2sd. Is nobody able to answer my question why it's not working anymore with G3mod 2.4.1 and CM7 A7?

Install G3MOD 2.4.1 on Kyrillos 9.5

I have installed Kyrillos rom 9.0 incl non.oc Kernel with odin and updated later to 9.5. Hybrid Data2SD works fine.
Can I simply CWM update with G3MOD_2.4.1_OC.zip ?
I cant find a tutorial for that.
I only found a hint to "wipe Dalvik Cache" after reboot recovery. Is that ok? Is Kyrillos 9.5 and g3mod 2.4.1 compatible? Some users only use Kyrillos 9.4 with 2.4.1...
Thanks, Thomas

Should be no problem. If you have doubts you can make a complete backup in cwm.

thanks.. it works fine now!
with G3 kernels you have CWM
Just a hint for kernel updates:
always have a directory with your actual (working) kernel on sd
if new kernel resides in bootloops or whatever, just boot into CWM and install your old (working) kernel
Normally a kernel update/downgrade doesnt require any backup, but youll never know.
always have a backup available (also on PC! -> SD card may crash!)
If you experience any recurrent problems with a new kernel, just downgrade easily to your older kernel via CWM.
Cheers

No use of OC

Hi all.I tried many times and test the owerclock ,i am using setcpu.But i see no difrenc,phone is alway the same,playing games is the same on 677mhz as 1200,and between,watching pictures also the same,i see no diference,what is the problem,i need some bust for games,how to get this.Phone working fine but no diference.
What kernel do you use?

It works on stock kernel when rooted only, thats right, but you can't overclock past 667 Mhz is what Hellhound means I think. You can set it to whatever you like if you dont use the autodetection though, but that is only visual, the actual clock doesn't go past 667 Mhz on stock.
I use:kyrillos rom 9.3 with kernel g3mod 2.2.2 OC 2.4.1oc.and doutch rom 5,2 with same kernel g3mod 2.2.2OC and 2.4.1OC.I tried even with NONoc,no difrence,on every custom ROM i see lag,going true menu,is just not smood inaf
I assume that you have moved your dalvik cache to external sd
move it back to internal and have fun
Please check the ./data2sd.log, if I am on the right side or may assumption is wrong.
-> paste the content of that file here and I know more
lagging is not a symptom of slow CPU, moreover of a slow sd card
cheers

Go into download mode and flash a froyo ROM. The fugumod kernel is not for android 2.3 ROMs that's why your phone went mental

Thank you MicroGeek! I've flashed successfully a stock firmware (2.2)...but I've two simple question,..
1) There is a guide (in an italian forum) that combines Kyrillos ROM + "Fugumod Ultra Pre Release" kernel..how is it possible? (obviously till I flash only the rom it goes all ok)
2) May you suggest me a kernel to combine with Kyrillos rom? I'm searching a kernel that improves battery performance
Thanks a lot guy! :good:
@up on that forum is probably a guide to combine Kyrillos froyo rom(he has a froyo and cm7 rom) with fugumod ultra...
2) I am using my own rom with fugumod ultra 1366 Mhz and my battery lasts 2 days with average usage and 1 day with heavy usage. CPU is set to 780 Max - 156 Min with conservative governor.And the performance is amazing.
If you don't like ultra version try standard,the performance will not be that good but battery will last longer.

However my problem now is that i cannot flash nothing except the latest stock firmware (it's the only firmware that let me wake up successfully the phone)... i tried several times to flash Kyrillos but the phone remain in the GT-I5800 splash screen..I don't understand why this happens
Did you try flashing a custom froyo rom ? If you did and it doesn't boot try to flash Zerofill.tar(i think you can find the download link in rkoby's mediafire folder) and then try to flash cm7 or something else you want...
