Skanky CM10 question for 4GS (Sprint) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see that people are using the Trinity Kernel for this build (CM10). I used the Trinity Kernal with the CM9 build and was very happy with it. I want to use it with this build but I'm not sure which kernel to use. There are the 4GS kernels for ICS and then there are Galaxy Nexus kernels for JB. Which ones am I supposed to use. I would reply to the build thread but I don't have enough posts to post in the Nexus S 4g Development Thread. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Jb and ics kernels aren't cross compatible. If a kernel does not specifically indicate that it is built for jb/4.1 on Ns/4g, don't flash. With that being said, ns kernels will often work on ns4g but they must still be built for the android version you are running. Check out the dev section for available kernels, there are currently 3 jb kernels (2my knowledge) built for the ns4g. Don't hesitate to try them all I'm order to determine which works best for your device.

Thanks for the response. So even thought the Trinity site says that would be for the Galaxy Nexus it would still work? The way it lists them is as follows.
ICS Kernels (Android 4.0)
Galaxy Nexus (All)
Nexus S (All)
SGS3 (TMO/ATT)
JB Kernels (Android 4.1)
Galaxy Nexus (all)
The Seven
Now with that being said are you suggesting that I use the GN Kernel since it's for JB.
Again thank you for your help with this.

Don't do that. The GNex kernels are not for the Nexus S. In the Trinity thread there was a NS kernel released (very basic) a few pages back. Morfic is working on a new release that will work on the NS4g/jellybean. Just be patient, will be worth the wait.
Edit: just released test version ...

They decided to release CM 7.2 before CM9.

One really has to wonder why. GB is old news. Why put developer's time and energy into updating something no one cares about? Focus on CM9!

Maybe because some phone supported by CM7 might not get ICS.
Good news for the nightlies.

This phone can run CM9 w/ no problems. Feb has proven that to us. It's going to go to a 4.0 Source code drop of this phone, or the DHD to get it before we see a stable build for it.
This is pretty exciting news imo. Any indication the CM team hasn't forgotten about our device, the better. I am curious about getting into the nightly routine but I have really liked using TDJs KANG when I use CM. Mostly because I almost always get better battery life on his kernels.
On that note, does anyone know where to download the Darkside X kernel he packaged with the 7.2 KANG? The kernel thread he links to only has 12 and 12.5. I can't find it in the my touch forums for the life of me. The only similarly named thing is in his new Samsung device forums but it clearly states in that thread that he compiled it from Samsung code so that can't be the same one he bundled with our KANG can it?
I supposed a more experienced user or amateur dev can extract the kernel from the KANG and make a flashable version so I can use it with the nightlies; but I would never ask for such a thing.........

I think they didn't want to just throw away CM 7.2 before jumping into CM 9. Plus there are certain things that don't work, such as the camera, that I don't think the CM team would push out a build without things like that working at all. I doubt we'll see a stable release before HTC drops any ICS source code.

Nope, nothing resembling a kernel named Darkside X for glacier. Doesn't seem like anything on there was updated in the past 2 months though.
There are 3 possibilities I see as to an explanation.
1 - the kernel is 12.5 with almost nothing different. Enough to warrant a different version title but not enough to establish hosting it as it's own new thing.
2 - it's the Samsung kernel and it's compatible with the mytouch (doesn't seem likely but his kernels have magically been cross-compatible before [g2] so who knows).
3 - it's a current version but mislabeled. That seems so unlikely from what I know of this dev that I won't even entertain such an idea.
I haven't noticed a world of a difference from this "darkside x" kernel versus the kind of performance I got on the 12.5 so I will just pretend the darkside x is some anomaly and be more than happy with using 12.5.
CM9 is way to far from a lot of devices, only devices getting official nightlys are the nexus phones (crespo, toro and the new galaxy nexus ) thats why they are developing cm7, cyanogenmod needs to re-write all the code becuse google makes a lot of changes in ICS

THANK You !!! Good to know MT4g is still getting support.

ICS OTG Kernel?

Ive currently been running NexusMod ICS Zero Build 2 Rev.12 (Beta 12) for a few weeks now and im wondering if anyone knows of a ICS kernel that would allow OTG functionality? Most of the kernels in the dishevelment section are for GB, I know Romracer has one for his ICS build but im not sure how to extract the kernel from the zip.
Please any info would be great
Coming from the Captivate section where everything is just laid out has spoiled me I guess...
I think romracers ics kernel is in the same thread as his GB kernel, iirc.

until source is released for Skyrocket ICS, no. Nothing can be added really until then. That's why you haven't been seeing the threads, not really any to make. Mohan has been starting work on a custom kernel from the international version source, but it's very alpha at this point. Soon as we get official ICS, Sammy should follow soon with our source, then progress on stuff like this, BLN, OC/UV, etc will really start cranking out quickly.
Thank both of you for the replies. I think I found a work around by installing toggle15. OTG is finally working for me..either that or it was a crappy cable

we need kernel source. After that it will be just a matter of time. The International HOX also shares a chipset with the Nexus 7 so that helps

I'm assuming that we wont have full AOSP roms until we have that source?
Any news on getting S-OFF?

Have you tried the CM9 ROM in development or the AOKP ROM over on Rootzwiki? They are both functional enough to be used as a daily driver.
Why do we need S-off? We can already do basically everything through recovery without it. Would it be nice to have, sure I guess, but definitely not needed.
Kernel source will be released. Could be soon, could be September. We don't know when. But it will be released. Once it is available we will have answers.

yea s-off isn't needed, but nice to have.
i've been following the cm9 thread, and it seems great but ive been using my camcorder almost non-stop and i'll miss it for sure
I saw on one of the threads for either MIUI or CM9 but I don't remember which that someone got the camcorder working? I have the file in my download folder on my phone but I haven't tried it yet. I'm just keeping it for if and when I decide to try out MIUI or CM9.
I loaded an unofficial CM9 Alpha 5 ROM on my North American HTC One X and the camera worked, although nowhere near as good as the camera app in the stock HOX software. Camcoder was flaky and crashed periodically. A video I posted on YouTube circa 4:50 has a demo of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPi8a5SvJvQ.
If interested, the build I loaded was the alpha5 in the thread "[ROM][WIP] Unofficial CM9 Port - Alpha 5" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688448. Beware of rapid battery drain if you choose to load this alpha5 build I recommend taking 30 minutes and reading through the thread prior to flashing this ROM for details.
Note, however, that this ROM is based off Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), not 4.1 (Jelly Bean), so this discussion might be a little off topic for this thread

[Q] Best Kernel for the Nexus S

Hello all,
I am planning to change my kernel. But I am confused as to with what kernel I settle down. So seeking help of you community members.
I prefer kernel which has a nice performance and great battery life and that can work with majority of Roms including MIUI.
I heard that marmite latest version 7.3 is not stable. So if you suggest marmite then also please mention which version I download.
I am running on JB stock atm.
Thank you for reading.

is your choise ...All kernel is good ..you must choose the right one for you
I am not sure hence asking the community
Marmite 7.3 is very good. Try it.

if you got 5 people to respond you would get 5 different answers
you would still need to use the search function
[available on every page...] to find and READ information about each one
every phone is a little different in the way the hardware responds
no two folks use their phone the same
what works perfect for me might make your device reboot continuously
the short answer is that only you can determine what works best for you and your phone
stop trying to avoid the effort needed to expand your knowledge
use the search engine
I am not avoiding. I am just new to kernels hence asking. I did study a bit about kernels available. But asking as I don't want to miss out any good kernel.
Try out marmite, matrix, and air kernel.

Marmite its always a good start, them u should try others, but it seems that for Nexus S, besides all the little differences between devices Marmite is the one to rule them all.

[Q] Help finding a kernel for my phone(d2vzw) and rom(CW 10.1/4.2.2)

As the title says. I'm looking for a kernel that allows overclocking. I've been looking for a long time but I can't find any. SiyahKernel appears to only work with the i9300 and 4.1. Unless I'm wrong. Thanks.
Also, is CM 10.0 android 4.1? Because im cool with switching to that if it will work with Siyah.

Anything you intend to flash is in the Verizon Galaxy SIII Dev or Original Dev section. Do not flash anything labeled for any other GSIII model, you'll brick your phone. I'm certain each custom kernel allows for OCing, you can find most in the Verizon Original Dev section.
CM10 is 4.1. You need to flash CM10.1 which is 4.2.2 because 4.2.2 is under active development. Something to note, flash kernels released either AFTER the date of your rom/nightly OR within a week or two week span. Often enough, there are updates in the rom source that render kernels prior to the rom's release incompatible. You'll know it's incompatible cuz after flashing your screen will be completely black when booting into the rom.

Thanks for the reply.
So, even if the rom was intended for an i9300 it will work on my 535? Are there any kernels for 4.2.2 that allow OCing?
Will this work with my setup? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226894
