Steps to flash the rom is straight forward
Load appropriate apollo_0531.ops file in odin and flash the .tar as "one package"
This will get the rom working
There are 2 things that fugumod does
1 /etc/init.d scripts start
2 Filesystems are recognized
Best way to I do is
When i am on Stock kernel I delete all files from /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod/
and keep fs.convert with lines
---------------------
mmcblk0p2 ext4
stl6 ext2
stl7 ext4
stl8 ext2
---------------------
boot in recovery and do factory reset and delete cache
Flash fugumod
and wait for ages so the fs gets converted
If you dont want to wait..
dont keep any files in fugumod directory when on stock kernel and rest remains same
i.e factory reset and flash fugumod

for a quick workaround if you get stuck after fugumod flash
remove sdcard
Do data/cache wipe and factory reset from recovery
and boot.. you'll get in os faster..
once the phone is on insert sdcard and wait for it to get mounted
delete all files from fugumod directory and reboot
Initially fugumod is super slow because it has to convert fs load scripts and cpu is not scaled properly.
once the fs is fine, converted and recorded in fs.current the init scripts (apps2sd) are also cool with everything
then when you see the interface its very slow because of inappropriate cpu speeds (use set cpu to set settings of your choice)
There is a also a zipalign script which will run for first time and take time to make itself comfortable

Nice...

Good work! Nice to see new Devs popping up!

hi
thanks but i need to say something went wrong
because i went back to ddjp4 rooted it added fungumod & did the apps2sd scripts and all this did not take all the time it took while i flashed fungu after ur rom it took like 8 mins & it was stuck on the android boot
i had no problem flashing ur rom that went well
only after the fungu flashing part is when i got stuk. well ill try the some again latter
Note : ill remove my two post to give u continuity ok

Yes i did that...copied the global apn.conf file >> then restarted >> then set the default APN settings..but got no results !!
I guess it's because of my service provider..

Go to /system/etc and copy apns-conf.xml
and use this file on all Roms
or use an app called apns backup restore

[Q] kernel vs cf-root

hi guys just confused, what is the difference btw CF ROOT and the said KERNEL?all i know is that cf-root is automatically root ur phone after flashing, but i dont know what is the main function of the said kernel..what is that for?

cfroot IS a kernel itself
and here u go

CF is a kernel n Even a kernel roots your phone...specific kernels have a greater range of cpu frequency eg-vurrut.cf root is universal..some.kernel is mostly built for specific ROM.. Though it can be used elsewhere...
Press thanks if i helped.

Not exactly. CF-root is a package containing a rootable kernel, the Superuser package (the root) and all necessary scripts. But I agree with you on the google thing
Short answer:
The kernel is the core of the Linux operating system, on top of which Android runs.
The ramdisk is - in case of the i9003 - a package containing the kernel, some scripts, some elementary executables (mainly init) and a recovery.
The recovery is a backup operating system which brings it's own, small kernel.
A CF-root "kernel" is a ramdisk which contains a rootable kernel, Superuser files and typically a custom recovery.

meaning to say can i flash kernel although i already flashed the cf root?
please see this procedure if it is correct..just as an exampe, plz bear with me.. thanks
since i am in froyo and wanted to flash to the latest ginger is this the right flashing procedure?
xxkpe >> XXKPQ >> cf-root of ganesh >> POSEIDON ROM >> reset, clear cache and dalvik >>> kernel (any as long as for XXKPQ)
is this right?
i think kernel is just a tweak just to improve the performance of out phone..am i ryt?

Nope...kernel roots your ROM...here's the procedure...flash xxkpe with pit file...than restart phone again enter download...than flash xxkpq...restart...enter download flash kernel/cf root...don't have to flash both..currently i have xxkpq with uc version 11 kernel...pretty smooth
Press thanks if i helped..

[Resolved] [Solved][Q] Cant install cm9.1 on Xperia SK17i (Mango) need help :c

Hey, please spare some time for me as I really want this to be fixed
I am using a Mini Pro running on Stock ROM and Kernal
It is rooted and has CWM 5.0.2.7-nAa
I recently downloaded Cyanogenmod 9.1 for my xperia mini pro (Sk17i) (Mango)
I went through the following steps to install it:
Did data/factory wipe
Wiped cache partition
Wiped Dalvik cache
Wiped battery stats
Then i proceeded to install .zip from sd card and so on until i located the .zip which was on my sd cards root directory
put it to install and i end up with this
--Installing: /sdcard/cm9.1.0-mango.zip

I want to know why i am getting this
I tried CM10 and 7 for my device and i get the same errors
Please give me instructions on what to do in the most simplest ways possible, you can give links to tutorials but i may find them hard because most seem complicated to me so please try and tell me in your own simple words what to do, I am a complete noob at this
I want to Install Cyanogenmods Rom so that i can install a firmware that makes the music volume more precise and makes the phone faster
I need all the help I can so please
Any additional info you want, just ask

Seems to me u probably have a device not "introducing" itself properly Or maybe it's build...
Maybe try the other way around and it right since the beginning.
Get yourself first:
- stock kernel & s/w rreinstalled (via PC Companion)
- since this is sk17i - unlock ur bootloader via official Sony way: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ (yet first watch the tutorial form Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31376248#post31376248 )
- get urself latest FlashTool and install it (http://androxyde.github.com/), use it to root ur phone -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30441163#post30441163
-
- go in very details through here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629334 and
1. download Kernel TFT (appropriate one) and flash it using flash tool (and guess what... here is picture guide by Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879982)
2. upload CM9-3 to sd card and try again with CWMRec/Flashtool mode install (depending whether u download .zip or .tft with ROM)
and read read read before u do smthng bad to ur small friend.

I am so sorry if I am bothering you or anything but I was going through the links, very handy and simple, and i came across this in the last link you have put about downlaoding a kernal .TFT
When reading through it says
Now you are ready to install a custom rom/kernel.
Let's start:
You go to development section and choose a rom you want for your device. You download the rom and the kernel for your device (make sure it is the right for yours! Sometimes the kernel is included in the installation zip file of the rom.
Now you have the boot.img and the rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now where is the Development section?
Where do i find the Boot.img?
What is the proper one for my sk17i?
I have downloaded CM9.1 for Mango from the cm official website and there is a boot.img inside the zip, should i just extract the boot.img out and keep it near the .zip file? and should i use this instead of the mini cm provided?
I really appreciate the links you have given and hope all my doubts can be cleared for me to actually start the process
Will hit that thanks button if it is a success :good:

S/W = Software.
To install stock software, even if ur phone is in bootloop, u may use PC Companion.
1. Start mobile in Flash mode (BACK/VOL+/- pressed when phone turned off and connecting usb cable + PC Companion enabled)
2. Agree on loosing all data Choose model (be careful -u20 and sk17i and sk17a are all mini pro, use hardware version marking)
3. allow it to work - it will download stock software for ur mini pro
Effect: unroot stock phone. U can root it again with FlashTool or one of root methods (for sk17i I believe so called zergRush does the job - search forums or gogole it )
Afterwards proceed with instructions for
1. Rooting
2. Unlocking bootloader
3. Reflashing phone with custom kernel and custom ROM
BE ADVISED: Above "root/unlock bootloader" actions usually void ur warranty. Be sure what u r doing, read thoroughly steps to not brick ur phone and do not be scared if bootloop happens - just find a way to enter flash mode again and use other .tft/ROM
OR - if u have already unlocked bootloader - simply download appropriate .tft file and flash it on ur phone using FlashTool. (the so called generic sk17i ROM has been provided in .tft format here: http://rumah-android.com/official-xperia-mini-pro-sk17i-4-1-b-0-431-firmware-ics-4-0-4.html)
U mighgt want to see through some of posts here to reduce ur noobishness http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471521
And use custom kernels/stock roms known for their stability in latest release/nigh release (search for xda forum threads).

Alright, thanks alot
Will get to it
I cant just plug my phone in and use the repair option from support zone?
It says that will erase all internal memory by replacing the software
So should I use that method?
And yeah, ive experience bootloop before so im fine and know what to do
And after all this is done and i get everything tis fine to restore my apps and studd using titanium right?

Development Section is a section of XDA forum, where crazy programmers deliver their kernels and ROMS...
This link is in Development Section, I believe the CM u r looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629334
Be advised - above CM requires custom kernel sk17i, it says it in Requirements in above link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25550442
If u succeed to unlock bootloader, it gets pretty simple, simpler than in Mihahn guide.
1. Given u have bootloader unlocked: using FlashTool u flash kernel (the .tft file) - thus u won't have to care about separate boot.img / .sin files flashing, they are incorporated in .tft thing.
2, If it suceeds - using flashtool u reset to recovery
3. USING CWM options - u mount ur USB storage
4. U put from ur PC zip with CM9
5. Unmount USB storage
6. Wipe all data as it says in ROM thread - otherwise u risk **** to hit the fan
7. Update from .zip, point to zip on sdcard
8.Relax
9. Get cofee
10. Relax
11. Watch it progress
12. Relax
13. Pray for best
14. After it finishes - reboot to normal. Be advised - first reboot after flashing ROM is always long, linux + ROM does automagic stuff
Short who's who:
kernel; linux kernel, da animal that is engine of subsequent android devices (i.e. kernel with Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Beans Adnroid releases) U NEED CAREFULLY CHOOSE THE ONE APPRIOPRIATE FOR UR DEVICE
ROM - closest to operating system u get on mobile devices, u might have different ROMs wortking on specific kernel
CWM - clockworkmode recovery - ur last resort if **** hits the fan to change ROM without reflashing kernel
I hope I got this as simple as I could... Sorry, I was former mobile s/w developer, such stuff is just usual for me, my stock u20i software didn't last 24h - I just immediately reflashed it co CM6, later to CM7 - just to have some options not available in stock rom connected to power management and application management.

Yes.
Generic ROM / Repair options brings u back to stock sk17i SE ROM. I dont remeber if repair option uploaded latest update, if yes - u might still have to use generic sk17i tft thing.
With restoring option - to be honest I didn't test it. It didn't worked well for me on CM6 and CM7 upgrade, yet possibly I did not all the things right. Still, if u have backed up apps and data on sdcard, it might be possible - please check it before reflashing ROMS (just root, install latest titanium backup and simply test the stuff).
Good luck on ur journey to reflash...

U can choose any CyanogenMod marked as suitable for ur phone (xperia mini pro, sk17i), yet
- PAY ATTENTION TO REQUIREMENTS: rooting, unlocking bootloader, which kernel version etc.
- READ SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE EXECUTING! Very important... developer put most important informations in posts, yet specific issuies are reproted and solved as froum thread goes by

Step 1 is done
Okay, I have Restored the phone to factory using SUS
But check this link out and see if i can flash this CM instead

HELP
I have flashed the kernal to a xperia arc kernal (TO downgrade for rooting)
I start up doomlords rooter thingy
And once i press anykey its on this
daemon not running. Start it now
daemon started successfully
And its just there
Ive used this program to root before and it worked
Btw after installing the neo kernal the phone doesnt restart, only on black scree, ive gotten that before but it had rooted successfully before
Please help me out :/

what are you doing?
if you want cm10, you don't need to root you phone, just simply flashing the rom will give you root
also flashing a kernel not meant for your device will obviosely create problems
instead try flashing this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076764
and this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780326

Sorry for the inconvinience
Alright then, sorry for my stupidity, i realized the phone had to be connected in MSC
*Facepalm*
Rooting done, going to now flash it back
Wish me luck :fingers-crossed:

Thanks alot

Seems to me u probably have a device not "introducing" itself properly Or maybe it's build...
Maybe try the other way around and it right since the beginning.
Get yourself first:
- stock kernel & s/w rreinstalled (via PC Companion)
- since this is sk17i - unlock ur bootloader via official Sony way: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ (yet first watch the tutorial form Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31376248#post31376248 )
- get urself latest FlashTool and install it (http://androxyde.github.com/), use it to root ur phone -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30441163#post30441163
-
- go in very details through here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629334 and
1. download Kernel TFT (appropriate one) and flash it using flash tool (and guess what... here is picture guide by Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879982)
2. upload CM9-3 to sd card and try again with CWMRec/Flashtool mode install (depending whether u download .zip or .tft with ROM)
and read read read before u do smthng bad to ur small friend.

If I ever meet you in real life, i would give you a hug
I dont know how to thank you!
It worked, i followed the original instructions which are quoted above ^ and it worked
I used a .img file to flash using flashtool and then flashed using CWM6 which came with the kernal
In the startup process
One thing that is a bummer is the slide out keyboards symbols which are printed on my phone do not match the ones which came with CM9
Meaning, on letter 'M' there is the symbol "%" in blue, so when i press the function button on the keyboard i end up with another Symbol when pressing "M", any way to fix it??
And one more thing
I have CM9, is it recommended to install CM10 nightly or should i wait for a stable release?
And if CM10 was good to install what steps should I use to install it?
Should i just place the .zip in the root of sd, then bootup in CWM and then install zip from sdcard?
Or i use the method you gave above?
Or I just boot in CWM and clear data and install from SD?
Hoping for a reply, and thanks alot! :laugh:

The CM10 Nightly i download from CM official website has a boot.img inside the zip
I can use that as the kernal to flash?

yep any cm10 kernel would work, however the fxp one does not have the best battery life or the best performance but it is the most stable

HTC One s C2 Kernel_v1.1. added CPU controller, sweep2wake, GPU overclocked from 300,

HTML:
Add sweep2wake
Kernel update version based on sweep2wake v1.0:
HTML:
1, updated version v1.1
Add GPU overclocked to 2, 300
3, adding CRT hack
4、added fsync control (Ezekeel)
5、added V(R) and SIO I/O schedulers
6、set SIO as default CPU scheduler
7, removal system R/W access restrictions
If you use the kernel encounters in the course of any problems, please submit your error to me

If you're any good on kernel modifications submitted to me also
My github:http://github.com/poppy1
This kernel using the luxandroid_v4 test. Thank you luxandroid
Thank you very much show-p1984 for sweep2wake code contribution, as well as help
If you flush this kernel boot prompt WI-FI errors, Then please use my providing driver replaces to the appropriate position of the system can resolve
What is sweep2wake?
Since this function collides with HTC's screenshot function (PWR+HOME) it will be disabled. Use the AOSP screenshot instead. (PWR+VOL.DOWN at the same time and hold it for about a sec)
This has a few advantages, one is a nice animation the second would be that it is hardcoded by google into any ICS firmware you can find. That means: no matter which device you will pick up, as long as it has ICS this function should work out of the box.

You can try this: for example you're flash luxandroid_v4 ROM, you replace me lib luxandroid_v4, and then use a TWRP Recovery flash

same here, I'm flashing now clean luxandroid v4, will report if it works

so here is what is exactly happening-
when i just flash boot.img from fastboot, nothing else, wifi stops working.
when i replaced lib modules from poppy22 zip wifi still was not working .
then i flashed flar2 kernel zip from recovery to replace modules
(original modules) wifi started working again but then the sweep2wake feature and other features of this kernel stopped working .

WiFi does not work mee ROM luxandroid v3.

Did you remove system r/w protection in this kernel? You should work with u-ra to get the kernel working on CM rom.

Have tried first flasihg the zip file in the recovery, then you should use fastboot to flash boot.img (kernel)? Because there are modules for wifi in the zip file.

Yes it is but in first post poppy only writes that you have to flash only boot.img in the fastboot mode, he is not writing about flashing zip file trough recovery first. And a lot of user are simply following his directions. So I thought that he might didn't try the proper way.

Wi-Fi work
system>lib and delete modules files with root browser , rom toolbox vb...
and
copy poppy modules. system>lib paste poppy modules :good:

How is this ROM different/better from @Amit.A ROM
[ROM][5.1.1][NOTE5][SM-N750][N7505][Deodexed]?NoteRom
Also, I am currently running this above mentioned ROM but I am hardly getting 1 signal bar strength most of the time which is very frustrating. Have you fixed it in this ROM bro? Thumbs up for your good work, please reply ASAP so I can install your ROM.

Am I stupid or will this end in a stock ROM (although rooted) with only the boot.img different if I don't remove any "system apps" ?
So is this "ROM" single difference with stock is we can remove what we want ? Can we do it also once we've restored the Note/Noble boot.img ? This would be great, along with the fact to stick close to stock gives more chances to be bugs free isn't it ?
Please tell me (I'm newb and non-english easy), what does "combo"ROM stand for ?
Thanks

Yes you are right in that this ROM is different from stock in boot.img. But this ROM is different from stock in having no bloatwares and few other patches..
"COMBO" here means this ROM is combination of Noble and Stock ROM

How is it possible that said "patches" would survive to stock reflash. These aren't in boot.img (this is the way you say to install : just install to backup boot.img then erase all with stock and restore boot.img backup). Wouldn't it be simpler to just distribute the tweaked boot.img then only flash this one ?
More, above, about 7505 you say "it's easy" to make it. But where is Noble for 7505 ? It is no more available. In fact this is my main problem to give try to your pragmatic way

Query for rooting Samsung note 3 neo ...
Can you please elaborate step 2 ... I have reboot to recovery. What do you mean by make small backup? Where and How to make it ?
