[KERNEL][BML] BlastOff - v2.5 - Q&A Thread - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I just posted the new BlastOff BML kernel here.
This is the place to ask questions.

Can we get an ETA on when this kernel will land on Mars?

Well, soon (no eta) it will land on an updated 'unnamed - bhundven edition' rom!

Not sure if its just me but wifi is showing up as error. I tried redownloading and fixing permissions problem still their.

This kernel is for BML roms. Wifi calling works on those roms because they are stock based.

I'm new to this phone and not sure what bml is or what its used for and is this kernel for ics based roms

New to this phone or not. Search is the best feature on XDA.
If it's not BML, it's MTD. Search the Q&A forum for MTD. There you will find a thread by eollie which quotes the epicmtd thread and a post of mine... here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699506
(yes, I have answered this question a billion times. Why, because no one searches.)
Edit: No, this will not work with MTD roms, like CM7, CM9, AOKP, SlimICS, etc... This will work with Valhalla, Valhalla Black, Unnamed, Stock UVKJ6 based roms.

Thank for the reply, anyway to make it work on non compadiable roms?
Edit: nevermind i read the info on the link you provided and it looks like ics isnt possible on bml

Belongs in Dev?

Yes read op.
I first want to than you for your support on a "update for a BML kernel".
i think it belongs in dev but still don't have enough posts to post.
I ran into a few issues with no log cat because of hardware freeze.
1st Tegrak will not load module for custom tweaks. Hardware failure vibrates indefinitely, and battery pull needed. works fine if you don't try and tweak. running 1.4 GHz without optimization works fine but can't underclock because of issue. the screen freezes and becomes pixilated.
restoring from nano backup finishes but stays at gs4g boot screen for t mobile
nano restore might be user error. i just factory reset and restored from there using the one click. restoring nano after one clicking resulted in same boot screen freeze as original
im sorry i don't have log cats but i hope i can provide further information if requested.
running latest Valhalla Black Edition with 1.3 OC undervolted
created backup with VB kernel recovery
booted fine with first flash of kernel running at 1.4
tried tegrak to underclock 1.4 and hardware froze with pixilation of screen in very light but noticable amount
reboot
wifi fix didn't work with flashing with cwm, suceeded with flash just no end result
tried to recover using cwm recovery with modded kernel caused boot freeze
one clicked back with no problems
i love this forum and want to try and provide feedback when possible, thank you for all you have accomplished over the years and i can't wait to see the perfect kernel and modem for ics. FB i love the AOKP. Unicorn Power!!! thank you all for all of your awesome work.

Ughhhh..... Lets break this one down, bit by bit.

Tegrak will not work. This kernel is already OC/UV. You just need setcpu or rom toolbox to set the cpu speed.

I'm just saying. Everything you type is one long run-on sentence.
Notice how I break mine up.
It makes what you are saying easier to convey to others.
Don't worry. I was tired and grumpy
So what we learned:
Type like you're writing a letter
Don't use nano backup
Download alogcat/alogrec
Wiping cache and dalvik is fine, don't always need to wipe data, but sometimes you do.
I get grumpy sometimes too

Is this the kind of battery life we can expect for the mtd version of this kernel and/or the aries kernel port? I noticed this does have some things from aries (per Github History). The battery life with this kernel is epic, better than anything else I've used.
Thanks,
David

We don't know what kind of battery life you will expect from the ICS kernel because no one has tested the ICS kernel because bryan hasn't finished creating it yet. If and when it's released you'll get to see what kind of battery life you get with the way you use your own phone.

There is a reason for calling this kernel BlastOff. It's going to go through the galaxy of snacks Google has named their Android releases. It's starting off on Planet Gingerbread, BML style.
Eventually, if the stars align, it will end up reincarnated as MTD on Planet Gingerbread.
After reincarnation, it will head towards planet ICS... and on and on...
For now, we are still packing the ship with goodies. OC/UV, governers, I/O schedulers, mmc changes, and bcm4329 have already been packed. But I'm still adding more!
So for the medium term, this kernel will stay BML. You may see me experiment with MTD, but I would stay away from that stuff and stick with the BML kernel for now.
Enjoy my naming scheme.

No need for that kind of reply, I was simply asking a question. From what I can tell, this does use bits and pieces from Aries and that's what prompted the question. I didn't ask for an eta or anything to that affect. I also know that battery life is dependent on usage, but I know for a fact that on gingerbread the standby time is leaps and bounds better than what we have for ics (currently) (for most users) . It's even been mentioned that the kernel for ics had some battery draining issues by Bryan himself.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

That "kind of reply" was merited. Like I said in that post, we're not gonna know how the battery will be until the kernel gets created and tested. I can give you a prediction and tell you that it'll last you 10 days with heavy usage but I may be wrong.
We won't know until we test it.

BTW, unnamed - bhundven edition has been posted to the teamacid github.
I'm not making an official zip yet, as we have some bugs still to work out, but if you want a rom to play around with the new kernel, git clone it and run the mkzip.sh.
Let me know what you think, if you feel so daring
(again, disclaimer, I'm not responsible for messing your phone up, thats your problem. This rom has been tested and won't brick you, unless you do something stupid. This rom will not work with any other kernel, for now.)

[KERNEL] 2.6.32.15-g3a8614e [email protected] #7

Why nobody has made this up yet is beyond me. I tried searching and it doesn't seem anyone has released the new HTC kernel by itself, only packaged in a ROM.
So here you all go.
A couple points of interest: (READ EVERYTHING)
This will overwrite your /system/build.prop as some values have changed for the new kernel. I am too lazy right now to write a script to only make the needed changes.
If you have tweaked your density, it will be reverted to stock.
Your ROM version will also show as "Mixed 2.6.32.15" in settings / about / software.
If you flash anything after this that modifies /system/build.prop, and is not designed specifically for this kernel, best of luck to you.
In keeping with my current practices, flashing this (except maybe in strange cases) will NOT require you to wipe *anything*, including caches.
This should be compatible with most any ROM. Right now it is only confirmed working on VaelPak 2.1.
Cheers!
As always, I am not responsible if this blows up your device. It is happily running on mine.

My phone hung on the boot screen. I'm on Baked Snack 1.75. Is there any chance you could repackage this with Koush's kernal updater?

I don't see how my phone has been up for 14 hours last it was plugged in was at 11:30 am central time and I've used the hell out of it for 4hrs 30 mins and battery is at 53% its 4:30 pm central time. This HTC kernel is better than any other HTC kernel made for the evo.
I unchecked enable on always mobile data and turned roaming of to just Sprint towers lowered screen light a little bit unabled haptic feedback on keyboard and rom and also added the undervolt.ko to the rom I found on this website some where in the evo development section. Also using autokiller app and no set CPU or overclock widget.

Got back to your nand backup, I ALWAYS wipe the dalvik cache and cache when flashing a new kernel. Try that.
Tried this as well no go as of now
I think this is why no one has posted up a flashable kernel with this kernel cause I've tried this kernel on a 3.2.6 Rom back when this kernel was first available and it was a no go.

Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Thanks a lot. Honestly, I really hate ROMs. I much prefer being able to essentially build and customize myself without someone else's customizations. Update.zips are the best.
yeah I think this needs the 3.28.651.1 framework
Would you guys want a update.zip with just the kernel and framework? Or just the framework? I figured most roms would be using it by now (the framework at least)
Also, caches can be wiped in the update script, which I do. Before and after the flash for good measure. Cache, boot cache, and dalvik.

G2x running stock froyo, Trinity kernal, and pimp my CPU BT toggle turns phone off?

My phone is running great but I can't turn off my Bluetooth and I don't want it eating battery for no reason. Whenever I attempt to turn it off it shuts my phone off instead (whether I do it through a widget or settings) If anyone has experiences this issue please help me out. Thank you guys.

Which Trinity kernel are you using? Right now there aren't any listed for stock ROM.
Also as has already been said this should be in a different section.
If he really flashed trinity on a stock rom and that's the only problem then someone should let Morfic know, maybe we can finally get a stock OC kernal, I've been waiting for one since I got the phone.

Yea I did, and the bluetooth issue comes about AFTER overclocking with pimpmycpu. I tried uninstalling but the problem doesn't go away so I went back to stock with Paul's Patch and everything is fine. Kinda sucks because my phone was real fast. Also when Paul's Patch and Trinity are applied together I wasn't getting sound at boot animation and I'm OCD so it did bother me lol
and if you guys are wondering I flashed the 2 following trinity versions: (without paul's patch and still got the bluetooth issue)
Trinity15 G2x - EB1.04 Froyo - EXT4 - Vibrator works, usb mounting might not
Trinity15 G2x - EB104F - EXT4 - vibrator works (new 5/16/2011), possibly usb mounting doesn't work
Usb mounting didn't work but all you need is a Multi-Mount SD card application and you're good.
UPDATE: Just redid my phone to complete stock and it seems that the bluetooth issue is still there, I think I found exactly where it's coming from and has nothing to do with the kernal or the patch. the issue comes up only after I restored my application data and apks with my backup pro so I'm guessing something is corrupt "/
mods...please move this thread
and when someone posts in the wrong section,can we refrain from answering please? all it does is create more clutter.

[ROM] [NIGHTLY] CM7 on the G2x. *Take 2*

Important!
It is strongly recommended that you flash clockwork recovery via NVFlash. If for some reason this or a future nightly build causes your phone to not boot up, you will not be able to boot into recovery unless you have it flashed via NVFlash.
NVFlash for Linux
NVFlash for Windows
To clear up some confusion, if you flashed your recovery via ROM Manager, you didn't actually flash a recovery. It is what we call a fakeflash, you should still probably flash with NVFlash.
Instructions
Download from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p999 and flash like you would any other ROM (via recovery or ROM Manager).
Be sure to backup before flashing, and of course a wipe is necessary when coming from stock.
Gapps are available from the usual places, however do not download the version that says it is for Tegra, even though this is a tegra device, as it will not flash.

ChrisSoyars Edit:
After skimming some of the posts in this thread, here are some things that you can expect.
What to expect
- Everything working including Wifi, GPS, Audio, Camera, Front Facing Camera
- Screen off animation is not enabled, therefore it isn't broken.
- Occasional audio problems (as far as I know they have not been fixed). If audio does not play just reboot.
- Automagical brightness weridness, this is controlled by the kernel and not userspace, even having it working is very hacky.

I see this thread kinda senseless as there isn't a newer nightly that was available before using the old thread. Although 2 pages seems more manageable then 300+ (which will happen eventually to this thread.)
Being a website developer I know these threads add up pretty quickly (hurray xda!)
I haven't flashed an actual CM rom in almost a week since the server crash. Hopefully the new thread is a sign that the server was repaired and new nightlies are on the way. Using the latest KANGS to get my fix, I know there is lots of progress. Running the latest KANG from today I think the rom is almost ready for a stable release after a few bugs get worked out.
I think the work you guys are doing is fantastic and much appriciated, although it may seem all we do is ***** half the time. Android wouldn't be the same without all of the developers leading the way. Big props. Hope all is well and I plan to continue to follow your work.

This has probably been posted before but im in a hurry and i can't go looking through threads.
My Galaxy randomly reboots, ill be sitting playing ps3 and i see it reboots itself. My friend says its a problem with my kernel, but if it is. How would i fix that? I only know how to flash roms and thats bout it.

I had the same problem. My phone would reboot once a day, at least. Usually, when I was asleep. I was using Val-Final. Since flashing AntonX's OC/UV kernel, I haven't had a single reboot.
hate to dredge up an aging topic, but my wife's t959v has started exhibiting undesirable behavior including momentary freezes while in use and random rebooting. it's running gingerbread kj6 rooted (from lumin30's guide here) with the following details:
firmware 2.3.6
baseband t959vuvkj6
kernel 2.6.35.7-t959vuvkj6-cl694130
build gingerbread.vuvkj6
now i'm infinitely more comfortable flashing kernels and the like with my htc sensation, mostly due to the fact that i don't need to mess around with kies/odin/heimdall. is that AntonX kernel fairly universally seen as a reboot fix? usually i'd dive in and just flash it, but last i heard, cwm restores don't work on the t959v, so i'm a bit wary.
thanks in advance all

The CWM issue was fixed when bhundven started with CWM 5. It's the older version that had an issue. The newer version is in Bryan's & AntonX's kernels and should not be an issue as far as I know.
Flashing Anton's kernel will fix the random reboot issue assuming you're using one of the kernels that exhibited that behavior vs. something else going wrong with the phone. There's a link to it in my signature if you choose to use it.
Good luck

awesome, great to hear about the newer CWM at the very least we've got two identical t959v phones (mine isn't rebooting randomly, but also isn't a daily use phone, natch) so i'll flash the new nifties on my "disposable" first. thanks much for your help!
No worries. Let me know how it goes or if you need any help.

now i'm infinitely more comfortable flashing kernels and the like with my htc sensation, mostly due to the fact that i don't need to mess around with kies/odin/heimdall.

You can always use the SGS Kernel Flasher from Google Play to flash kernels on our phone as long as you're already rooted. No need to worry about Odin or Heimdall.

[ROM] Manual/working port of PARANOID ANDROID 1.97a

UPDATE: After a few additional tweaks to the framework, this rom appears to be working for both green and red lens defy users. I've personally used it as my daily driver for several days this week, and found it to be stable and very usable. The one thing that does not work for me is the GPS, and quite honestly, I haven't had time to look in to it.
Here is a complete, working port of PARANOID ANDROID 1.97a for Defy. It is based on Galaxy S2 PARANOID 1.97 and Epsylon's CM10 1208. This is NOT a simple port using the port tool and includes the Framework changes necessary for the hardware.
I take no responsibility for any consequences from your decision to try this rom, and being based on alpha releases, I'm sure there are other problems, but I've personally used this rom for a prolonged period of time and the only problem I've had was with the GPS not locking.
Few things to note:
1. No offense to anyone, but this thread is not for complete noobs. While I will try to help when I can, I cannot promise any level of support. If you don't know how to flash via CWM, this is not for you.
2. This rom is based on the Froyo kernel and has been confirmed to work on MB525 with green as well as red lens. This is no guarantee that it will work on YOUR phone.
3. I intentionally used 1.97 as that version was very stable on my Galaxy Nexus - much moreso than 1.98 or 1.99
4. I've cleared the PARANOID defaults that most of the other PA roms come with. You can manually change the individual app settings under Paranoid Settings, or via the \system\etc\paranoid\properties.conf file which stores a record for every app including DPI and Layout.
5. After installing this rom, I "supercharged" it using a v6supercharger script (link below) and it did seem to help make the rom smoother and more responsive.
Special thanks to Epsylon3 and Quarx for their work on CM10 for the Defy, and Molesarecoming and D4rKn3sSyS for their work on PARANOID.
Thanks to brajesh.sharma87 for pointing out the bootloop "gottcha" of simply recompiling the framework (for specifics google "framework recompile bootloop" and read the first thread that comes up).
I strongly encourage any/all of you to contribute (make donations) to these developers.
DOWNLOAD ROM (double check MD5 before flashing - 96D409B4692319D9DA63FAA9CE1516A6)
Download latest gapps from here.
Here is the v6 supercharger script that I've been using and is confirmed to work with this rom.​
Make sure you're on Froyo kernel. Boot in to CWM recovery. Factory reset, wipe data/cache/dalvik. Install rom, followed by gapps. Wipe data/cache/dalvik again. Reboot (should take about 2-5 minutes). Install and configure the v6 script. Enjoy!
Looks pretty neat man! I might give it a shot soon. Any known bugs for now?
This is only PA rom which I manage to get work on my red lens defy without bootloop..
Cheer mate..:good:
now testing..
hm md5 matches, flashed it several times but it cant pass bootanimation :/
(edit: green lense defy)
here tooo stuck at endless bootanim...

Are you guys running Froyo kernels? Did you do a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvik after the install?
Trying flashing the CM7 kernel, this rom, wiping, and booting right away before you install gapps or anything else. And make sure you give it a full 5 minutes as the first boot can take some time.
Also keep an eye on the led by the proximity sensor. Let me know if it flashes red when it loops.

Sorry, didn't even see your thread. Quite honestly, I've only been playing with PA for the last couple of weeks and have posted in rajesh.sharma87 thread as well as the rom porter thread, but nobody over there seems to want to read.
Have you looked at the logs from the devices that loop? Send me one if you have an example. I've tried lots of different combinations in conjunction with the framework-res mods before I got this to boot, but have not had any problems with this version. Interesting...

If you're on Defy red lens, I'd be curious to have you try this rom. I'm starting to think it may be a difference in the hardware.
I'm on BL6 (flashed GB when first leaked), but have been going back and forth between GB and Froyo kernel roms and found Epsy's to be most stable for my device (which is why I used his as the base).

How can you be on BL7 and still be able to switch to Froyo kernel?

My bad - it's BL6.
And for those that don't know, there was a leaked Froyo SBF with BL7 (see here).

Hi dew.man, if u want to continue this, I will close my thread as u know there's no need of having multiple threads for the same work. The intention of the guide and the tool was to let everyone port and use and not polluting the developement thread by posting so many threads. I hope u get my point. If u really wish to take this up I am there with u and will provide u as much help as I can but at the same time we need to respect xda.
Opinion of other users are also welcome so that we can keep the developement thread clean. I've already closed 2 of my threads for the same reason. LewaOS and AOKP JB.

First and foremost, thanks for all your help
Perhaps I was not clear enough, but I do not have the free time to take on any kind of support role. Please understand that my sole intention of this thread, was to provide/share a more recent version of PA/CM10 that I have been unable to obtain from anybody else. No offense intended, but I did ask you on several occasions to post a more recent version than the 1.95 you have in your (still existent) thread, and the only response I received was that you didn't have the bandwidth.
I also tried to work through/with kadevil's thread, but he pretty much ignored all the feedback he was getting about the tool not working for PA and JB.
Again, I was looking for a more recent version of PA (1.97+) with a more recent CM10 (8/06+) and was unable to find a working version. I built one that works for me, and wanted to share with anybody else that may be in a similar position...
Well guys i feel that the thread should be merged to brajesh's thread... since his thread has more organized 1st post...

I'm perfectly fine with that as long as the op/title gets updated with the new version number
