[Q] MIUI Kernel problems

Hello XDA Members.
I loved MIUI on my old Desire. Now I´ve tried MIUI for my new Sensation.
But there are still some little problems.
In the Miui.us version I don´t get ANY Kernel to work. (Bricked AOSP and faux123 AOSP/CM7) I tried another Kernel because of the No-signal problem (everytime I get into lockscreen signal gets away) but nothing happens - no Kernel works for me (I have the normal Sensation, non 4G)
Now I´ve tried TripNmiui from Modaco and it still works. I get a signal. But when I try to change Kernel to Faux or Bricked the phone stucks on bootscreen and will shutdown. I can live with TripNKernel but performance is not so good...
What can I do?
Ah, sorry for my bad english, I´m from germany. ^^
greets

even i have this issue. I've heard something about assigning it a static ip.
Can someone point out the process to do so

open the settings on your router, goto LAN settings->Lease Time and change it to anything other than "Forever". In my case, changed it to 2 weeks. Do apply settings and let the router restart. It does wonder, off the problem of wifi disconnecting.

Its not compatible due to the different ram disks. Anyway, I tried v9 test before the newest one was out and its really good. If you ever stop using miui, I highly recommend uc kernel v9

You really made me happy, I was depressed about my phone wifi connection going on and off every 10 seconds in my own house where I do everything and doing that with my router solved the problem and now my phone wifi gets connected!!!
Thank you so much!!!

Great Job!!!

Problem with Razodroid & CMW

Hello,
my brother owns a Galaxy Fit and I rooted it and I installed Razodroid 4.0
I've got a problem, after some days of use he locks the device and if it stays screen off for more than one minute the mobile "dies" and its completely unresponsive for use. The only way to make it working is pull off the battery and turn on again.
The second problem is when I try to install official cm7 nightly builds I get an Error 7 on CMW.
Please help me im confused. Thanks in advice.
1st edit: I fixed error 7 on CMW, but still I want a stock rom with root for my phone, or a good rom for daily driver, any suggestions?

dont keep the phone overclocked the whole time..maybe his phone can't handle too much.
for daily use..umm hyperdroid is best one in stock and tj'c cm7.1 rc1/rc0 is the best one for me..
make sure your cwm is update with latest one!

try using creeds rom v4
or janas rom v5
both are the best ones out there for daily use
almost bug free n fast...

[Q] CM7.2 bugs

Hi ,
I am facing these bugs in CM 7.2 which are ruining my cyanogenmod experience
1. Rebooting on incoming calls or sometimes even during a call
2. No ring tone for incoming calls .
3. Mobile data doesn't enable sometimes . Requires a switch on and off of wireless connections.
4. Occasionally hanging after screen locks.
5. The launcher widgets at the bottom of the home screen disappear often .
Is there any patch for this or can anybody suggest me a better GB ROM that meets these basic requirements .

It'll probably help if you specified the exact ROM you're using, the kernel, any mods or tweaks you're using, whether you use a2sd, and whether you overclock. I'm using the latest CM7.2 unofficial nightly by FitAmp and I don't have any of the stuff you mentioned.

Thanks for the reply . I was using the CM 7.2 official i.e cm-7.2.0-p500 . Can't tell you exact kernel as i am currently on stock . Also i was using app2sd but i never overclocked . Just to mention i used Old BB fix as i have not changed my baseband yet. Apart from this i had not tweaked anything .

Is that the stable branch, or the nightly? In any case, it sounds like you got a bum copy of the ROM or an error while flashing. Try reflashing (or redownloading and then reflashing). FWIW, I'm using the latest unofficial nightly by FitAmp (check in the Original Android Development forum), with Mounts2sd (from Play Store) as my a2sd script, and DJnoXD's 2.5.8 kernel. It's also overclocked to 710. That setup has been super stable for me.

It was the stable version from here http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=p500 . In any case i will try out the one by FitAmp and let you know if i face the same issues . Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

WildKernel
for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II
Go check out Tame! It goes great with this and it handles OTA updates for this kernel.
This is a Linux based (3.0.101) Kernel which is maintained by me kept inline with the Cyangenmod Kernel so this is compatible with ALL the latest KitKat Roms (unless otherwise stated in the ROM).
Please report anything good and bad so that I know what to keep and what not to keep for the next release. This also helps me push out fixes faster when presented with lots of information (such as logs etc.).
Please see changelogs for an in-depth look at features. Also take a look at the screenshots for a sneak peek.

The new installer worked, thanks. I'll play around with it and report back but I can already say that WiFi direct doesn't work (it's always the first thing I check b/c it's the only problem I have with any of the skyrockets current kernels)

Are you sure that problem is directly related to the kernel? It sounds more like a Rom issue....does it work on your rom's stock kernel?

I guess the burning question for me if this includes all of Sultan's bluetooth fixes. His kernel for CM really is the gold standard for our device thus far.
I see you mentioned him in the OP so I am hopeful lol. I'd love to be able to flash this kernel with any rom knowing the usual plagues (such as the constant BT disconnect) are no longer an issue.
Thanks a lot for this! Nice to see the SR still getting some love

I'm pretty sure it's at the kernel level only because it works with @Sultanxda's kernel. His is the only 4.4.x kernel that WiFi direct has ever worked on for me on the skyrocket. It worked on the official CM10.2 ROMS/kernels but every since CM11 was introduced it's been broken. The ROM I'm using now could connect with WIFI direct when built with Sultan's kernel.
Even with Sultans kernel, Miracast (with uses WIFI direct) will connect but the graphics are all scrambled. I suspect that has to do with some of the memory enhancements he's made. If I knew how to build kernels I'd like to try using the official CM11 kernel source and only applying his WIFI direct commit to see what the results are, but unfortunately I don't know how to build them and can't seem to find the time to do the research to learn. Maybe one day.
I've had no issues otherwise and I've been using it for a few days now. Thanks

Once your screen goes black from the reboot, hold both the volume buttons until your device goes into recovery. Then either use ADB or your recovery's file manager to retrieve /proc/last_kmsg and it post it here. It always helps to present issues with a log ready, for future reference.

So... I got bored.
I installed the following ROM's and got bootloops for each (basically every 4.4.4 ROM I know of for Skyrocket):
AOKP - Dated 15-Sep-14
CM11 - Dated 19-Oct-14
PacRom - Dated 25-Aug-14
Mokee - Dated 12-Oct-14
Dirty Unicorns - Dated 2-Oct-14
SlimKat - Dated 14-Oct-14
CarbonRom - Dated 17-Oct-14
Beanstalk - Dated 9-Oct-14
CandyKat - Dated 18-Oct-14
Paranoid - Dated 9-Oct-14
I didn't test the following ROMs:
SultanXDA CM11 - Dated 19-Oct-14 Didn't test since I was told it would bootloop
MIUI V6 - Currently getting a bootloop so no reason to try it

Never done this before (well, I know how to get into recovery...lol). I'll post the file in a few minutes after reflashing one of the ones above. Can i empty this folder when I'm done? There's 200 or so subfolders in there.

Hmm interesting, since I dont have this device, I can't do this myself. But do u think u can you do the following?
1. Flash one of the Roms you listed that bootlooped above
2. Open my kernel installer and delete /system/bin/thermald
3. Push it to your device and install
4. Does it boot?

Sadly, bootloops again (I installed the AOKP rom; clean, no GApps, let it boot once, boot to recovery and flash modified zip).

Too bad i hope emmanuel fix this.. Anything i can do ..

Reboots
I was playing around in Tame earlier and my phone rebooted a few times. I wasn't doing anything too crazy, turned off SweepToWake, changed the governor to Lazy and it froze and rebooted. The first time it happened I had changed the max frequency and a couple of other things, so I attributed the reboot to that, however when it booted back up I only changed the two items mentioned above and it rebooted again, this time it stayed off so I booted into recovery and got the kMsg, hopefully it helps. That's not the first time I've used Tame, I initially installed it, changed a few things and everything was fine, but my phone had been turned off since then so I was going back in to set it back the way I had it.
I'm currently using the liquidsmooth as my ROM, and this is really the first issue I've had with your kernel (other than WIFI direct, but that's pretty much all the kernels for this device). I think you've even improved my battery life, I don't do gaming or anything so I don't really ever notice any performance gains or that sort of thing, but I haven't noticed anything moving slower, which is good.

Update
Another minor update today, sorry about the initial discrepancies! Blame me, since I don't actually have this device. Well it should boot on all ROMs now, enjoy .... I guess.

Works great on PA! I'll mess with it for a bit and provide useful feedback.

Flashed successfully on Carbon 10/17 nightly. Seems pretty snappy so far. Nice work! :thumbup:

Hi. Thanks for sharing this Kernel. I have a question...
Before, I was using Carbon with its stock kernel, Conservative governor and noop; there was no lag at all, but battery seems to last too little time in continous use and even when it was with screen off. Even before that, the CPU governor was set by default at Interactive, but the Skyrocket freezes in several times, sometimes after unplug it from charger or after unlocking it after a time (like 1 hour or something), sometimes the device hangs so long until I reboot it or it reboots itself. So, Interactive isn't the best choice for me.
The question is: What is the best choice for a governor if I want the longest battery life, but with any freezing any time?
Could you please help me?

Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to say that actually I'm using Lazy governor at 96-1350 and sio as you recommended it, but I thought that maybe there's a no listed recommendation for maximun battery or something like that.
