[Q] Faux123 stock ov kernal & paul's patch

hey everyone,
does anybody know if these two are compatible to work together or is it something where it's either or? i've been looking through the threads but haven't manage to find any answer for it. i appreciate any answers.
THANKS!

All reports say there is no reason for Pauls patch on custom roms.

oh alright. thanks for responding

Faux kernel is not a ROM. He is using it on that ROM - so the question was not specifically answered.
I had Paul's patch on stock kernel when I first flashed faux kernel, but don't know for sure if it is needed (ie - is the patch of the kernel or something else?).

Let me be more specific in case the OP did not get it. No, you do not need Pauls patch for custom kernels or roms. It is strictly designed for the stock rom to fix a mistake by LG.

The patch was an updated services.jar messed up by lg in the stock ROM. Do kernels also include a services.jar?
If so, then no need when kernels are flashed either, as it would be overwritten. This would be the clarification he (and I) was looking for. If not ??
Note - when I look in a whole ROM zip file - I can find it. Cannot when I open a kernel zip file.

What does that mean.so is the kernel baked into the rom: when we install faux's rom, we automatically get the kernel .

Yes - if you flash faux ROM - you get his kernel as part of it.
But the OP was about using faux (with) stock kernel on the stock froyo ROM. The stock ROM had some messed-up up stuff by LG in the (I have read) services.jar file in the stock ROM.
He asked if he could (should) use the paul patch with this combination. Since the services.jar is (I also believe) not changed by the kernel only, it appears that it should be flashed on top of the stock ROM once (unless you wipe and it is then gone), and then flash the kernel (I did that).
For ALL CM ROMs - different services.jar - no problem. But for EB and other stock based froyp ROM's - I am not sure. If the Dev's built paul's fix into the services.jar -then they are OK. If not, they might be able to use the fix also.
Would REALLY like to hear from one of the Dev's on this. Been all over the forums, and with respect to the kernel only and other than stock froyo ROM's - it has not been clearly spelled out.

its for STOCK roms not custom kernels dont matter in this pauls patch fixes a problem with lg stock rom all custom roms should have this fixed

[Q] Kernel Help? (2.6.35.7-g8f2a88c-dirty)

Hey guys!
I recently got a Rogers captivate (I896) and have been playing around with it lately... Currently it is running CM7... I followed these steps to put Cyanogenmod on my phone (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide) I've been reading up on kernels, and am pretty interested in changing the kernel... But when I checked the kernel, i had a kernel named 2.6.35.7-g8f2a88c-dirty [email protected] #1... I did some searches but it came up empty... What is this kernel?
I've been looking at Glitch, hoping that it would improve battery life...
Thanks for helping me identify!

With a few quick searches it seems that that kernel is the one that CyanogenMod uses as the stock kernel, I don't have CM7 on mine but take a look in the dev forums and you can see other kernels and read a little about the differences. Then choose the best one for you. And if it turns out it isn't the best one for you flash another.

KK, thanks... I was wondering why it was like that... Does installing roms influence kernels? It shouldn't right? When I followed the instructions it said I was installing the SpeedMod kernel...
Well, thanks for your help! Now I need to look for a different kernel... My battery life is only around a day, if i let it idle.... Thanks again!

Your welcome and hit the thanks button. As to your other question most roms will come with their custom kernel cooked in some will use the stock kernel but almost all roms will change your kernel when you flash something new. Kernels and roms are completely different things but you can't flash a ROM without a kernel. But you can flash a new kernel without flashing a new rom. Just make sure that you read read read. So that you don't end up bricking your phone.

[Q] Is there a ROM not affected by RR / SOD??

I've been searching here for a long time and looking at different custom ROMs but cannot find an answer. (so please be gentle on me if I missed the obvious...)
Is there a custom ROM for the TF101 which is not affected by the RR, SOD, bootloop, and all the other issues introduced in stock ICS?
Will appreciate the advice.

I have used android revolution hd since it updated to ICS and not since the first ICS ota version have I seen a random reboot and I have never had a SOD

Get a new kernel
Your solution to SODs and ROR is getting a new kernel, the best one is to my point of view GUEVOR works, the last ones are great with stock rom.

This is what you need to do. But, I would recommend either the 17c or 16b. I had a lot of SOD with the latest 19.2 kernel.

Thank you all!
I'm currently on stock .21
So confirming that what I need to do is:
Revert to an older, rootable stock ROM
Root
Then either:
Install Guevor kernel (with stock rom?)
or
Install Revoultion HD
Is this correct?

Yes, Guevor 17c is rock stable, so is the TestyMehIcs kernel. Both should do you good
ARHD on it's own (as mike tweaks the kernel) or with Guevor/testymeh is good too.

Thanks @Thing O Doom.
And is the procedure above correct?

Yes, between steps 2 and 3 though you need to make sure to install CWM recovery (I recommend Rouge XM version, as it reads internal and external SD card) this is what you will use to flash the kernel and a ROM

Yes, I forgot to mention CWM...
Will try the stock .24 when it comes out (hopefully this weekend) and if RR continues I will go Revolution HD or guevor.

HTC One XL oc tools

Hi. Wich tools can be used to overclock a little the cpu, and/or gpu?
I've noticed some performance drop in 3d since sense 5, comparing with sense 4. Specially with WAZE app.
Thanks all.

You first need a custom kernel to OC. Then you can use apps like Trickster Mod, Kernel Tuner, and others to tune the kernel settings.

Can you give me some help to go with a custom kernel? Does they improve a lot over the default ones? I was looking at BEASTMODE rld 3.5...

There are only two available for Sense 5, Beastmode and Elemental. Asking for a suggestion isn't allowed so I can't do that. They're both pretty good though.

If you are looking to overclock, then a custom kernel is a must, so in that way its an "improvement" (at least more features) than stock kernel. On a stock kernel, CPU frequencies over the "official" spec will not be available (not even appear) on overclocking tools/apps. Also, custom kernel will generally give more choice of governors, if you are into such things.

Ok, after I get a solution with the connectivity problem I'll try to switch kernel. But what about 3d performance loss with this now rom, particulary with sense 5 I guess? Is that normal?

I never noticed a performance loss with 3d on Sense 5, but you can OC both 2d and 3d with the Beastmode kernel.

Ok, the kernel installation is just from twrp like a rom choosing wich one to install right? Are there any noticeable gains with them? Whether it is beastmode or elemental x?

Yes, kernels are flashed in recovery. Beastmode is s-on friendly, but Elemental requires s-off according to the top post of that thread.
Whether you notice any gains will probably depend on how you use your phone and how you tweak, so I don't think there is any blanket response to that question. If you have given this much thought to it, just go ahead and flash. You can always dirty flash the ROM to go back to stock kernel, if you don't like the results. Or make a nandroid backup before you flash the kernel, which I recommend before flashing anything, anyway.

If I flash a kernel, whether elemental or beastmode, is there a way to return to orginal kernel only without flashing the entire rom?

You only need to dirty flash the ROM, that's flashing the ROM again without wiping anything except cache and dalvik. All of your settings, apps, and so on will remain, you'll actually not notice any changes at all. If for some reason you don't want to do that you can just flash the boot.img from the ROM zip to get the stock kernel back.

I made a different question later, about just returning to previous kernel WITHOUT flashing the entire rom. I've read your post, and was helpful as well. Thank you.

Hi again. If I backup my current rom (system/data/boot) with the stock kernel, then I flash a moded kernel, and then I restore my backup (maybe because I'm not comfortable with the new flashed kernel for example), the kernel will be restored as it was on the moment of the backup right?

That's correct, but you don't necessarily need to restore the backup to get the stock kernel back. You can just flash the boot.img from the ROM zip, or dirty flash the ROM.

So flashing the boot.img will only flash the kernel.... Intresting. Thanks!

I don't think you understand what a "dirty flash" is. Flash without doing a factory reset (but wipe cache and Dalvik, which you shoud pretty much do with any significant system change). It retains all your settings, apps, etc. which are contained in the user data partition. It only touches the partitions where the ROM itself and kernel are located. It doesn't take any more time than flashing the stock boot.img.

Actually, there are other contents in boot.img besides just the kernel. But for practical purposes, nothing that significant.

[Q] Link to bodivas repack kernel for 6810

Hi, does anyone have a link to the bodivas repack kernel for the 6810? The link is missing from UTIA's second post in the thread for his kernel. I want to give his kernel a whirl. Thanks, Matt

Ignore this request. I flashed UITA's kernel but my hardware and his ROMs/kernels do not get along :'(
Reverting back to my backup...

I'll upload it later today. Forgot all about it sorry.
Firstly, did you flash the SkyHigh kernel after first boot of any ROM? Don't flash directly after ROM flash. Otherwise boot loop. Only after ROM full boot.
Secondly, make sure that you have no tweaks or tweaking apps etc installed.
For the ROM, you need to follow the installation instructions EXACTLY, using correct recovery version and full wipe install.
Other than that, unfortunately, your hardware may not like some of the kernel tweaking or UV etc.
BTW, I'm working on a SkyHigh kernel update. Maybe try that in future "IF" I ever get to release stage.....

It's weird, I had the same problem with your ROM on ICS. I was hoping JB would be different, but I got exactly the same stability problem. As you say, it must be something to do with the tweaks that upsets my tab. I can report that CIFS works fine with your kernel though!
