Necessary to do wipes before flashing kernel? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I was using AntonX's Basic with a Twist kernel and I was having severe issues with many apps. Everything was perfect until I rebooted the phone; after that, the Google Apps framework kept force closing, and I couldn't read any emails in gmail or texts in Messaging without them force closing. I fixed permissions and had no luck.
I was just wondering if wiping the cache, Dalvik, etc. is necessary if all I was doing was flashing a kernel. I'm back to stock now, so unfortunately I can't grab a log cat for you, but I doubt I would have been able to anyways with all the FCs.
EDIT: Everything else was stock GB, only the kernel was custom.

The cache partition and Dalvik cache are Java-land things, so they shouldn't need to be wiped if there is only a kernel change. The Java world exists above the kernel; Java, within reason, shouldn't care what it is running on, even different OSes. That said, those two are easy to wipe and shouldn't cause any loss of irreplaceable data. I pretty much always wipe them when I flash a full ROM, and would on "normal" kernel changes.
Generally changing out a kernel and all its associated drivers shouldn't be a big deal. Even if you miss a driver or leave one behind, the kernel typically won't load drivers from other builds, even of the same kernel (with the exception of hacks in the GB kernels to load Samsung proprietary drivers).
My guess is a "bad flash" of one kind or another.

Thank you, jeffsf. A few questions though.
All I was flashing was the kernel. Forgive my newbieness, but was I supposed to flash drivers with it? Probably a stupid question.
Also, after the problems and before I flashed back to stock, I tried to reflash the kernel through CWM, but the problems didn't go away and I lost a ton of apps for some reason.

On the "drivers with kernel" question, it is a bit of both. The drivers can either be compiled into the kernel, or "modules" that can be loaded on demand. The former are stored on the same partition (like C: and D: on a Windows machine) and get flashed with the kernel. There are some cases where the drivers are on the same partition as the ROM itself, so they need to be copied over as well. For most installers, it is all transparent to the user. AntonX kernels through the one-click Heimdall shouldn't require any additional steps.
I'm not sure what file you tried to flash using CWM. It seems strange that you lost apps in the process. In any event, I'd re-download the file and check the MD5 if it was given.

I originally just used SGS kernel flasher to flash it, not the Heimdall one click. Was that wrong to do?

Have you tried fixing permissions? I had that problem awhile ago and that fixed it for me. I would wipe the caches and fix permissions.

Try thomas.raines Gremlin Remover. There may be some little nasties hiding out. Then sgs kernel installer (free on play) to flash the kernel.

But doesn't the heimdall one click back to stock from bhundven do the same thing as the gremlin remover? I thought they both completely restored the phone to stock and removed any artifacts of previous flashes.

There a differing opinions. Gremlin Remover is a much larger (over 400 MB zipped, 600+ when extracted). If one doesn't seem to be working why not try the other? Also GR is Odin based so it uses different drivers than Heimdall. It's generally suggested to use different USB ports each for ADB, Heimdall and Odin.

Gremlin Remover is so large because it takes you to froyo and then to a early release of gingerbread. Either one should work however if heimdall is erroring out then I would use the odin based options. Otherwise if heimdall is flashing properly no need in using a odin one click.

thomas has a link in the GR OP to his Filesystem cleaner which can useful also.

Ran into the same problem, so I restored all my apps using CWM instead (boot up to CWM, advanced restore, choose the image that you want to restore from, restore data). Not really the best way to do it, but at least I got all my apps back.
I've installed this twice now. Both times I started from stock. It seems to work well so far, even at 1.3 GHz. All of the apps that I use that require root work fine. However, it seems that somehow he's disabled any access via adb or term. Anytime I try any command in adb shell or term, I get "permission denied". Has anyone else seen this?
Been running this rom for almost a week. very stable and looks great no issues at all. have setcpu at 1.3 max and 100min conservative. quad scores 1029 best.
Wish hero could make a bare bones rom that has his great skinning, then have zip folder for all sprint, zip for all touchwiz, zip for misc. that why everyone gets programs they want without constantly removing crap and it keeps the rom small and light and fast!!!
great work hero!!!!

I just use WinRar to add and remove apk's from his ROM zip before I flash.
Not a bad idea to format boot, cache, data, and system through the advanced mounts and storage menu in CWM when installing this rom. More or less no errors.... when oced to 1.3 there is virtually no load time with apps or rendering time for web pages.

Don't remove the DRM files - use a startup editor to stop it from starting upon boot or just freeze the processes with something like titanium backup.

[Q] missing apps theory

Is it possible to flash via odin and cwm and some gremlins still lurk. I ask because i've flashed 3 roms today and each one seem to have the same issue with missing market app and such. I don't know if it's a app i'm using, but it seems wierd. I went from Gingerbread (where it started) back to froyo and flashed 2 froyo roms with the issue
Try RaverX3X's KC1. Unfortunately, I don't have the link, so look for it on this forum. That should clear up all gremlins you have.
Yeah i tried that the last time. Possibly I should do my flashing straight from that with the required stuff to get root?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
im getting the same issue, I've Odin stock kc1 without root then gained root, installed cwm. Then proceeded to install Audiophile Series: Redux. Still has the same issue. I've even odin gb Kg4, KG5, KH1, & KH2. All gave me the same problem. Everything works perfect up until I shutdown my phone and reboot it. Then I get the grey android icon with these apps:
com.amazon.venezla (Amazon Appstore)
com.monotype.android.font.felbridge (felbridge font)
com.quoord.tapatalkxdapre.activity (XDA premium)
com.touchtype.swiftkey (swiftkey)
net.everythingandroid.smspopup (Smspopup)
org.projectvoodoo.controlapp (Voodoo)
& of course my market app does not work either, even when i install the new market it force closes.
I have also not dont ext4 conversion, so that cant be this issue
Anybody know how to fix this problem?
Try flashing the KC1 Cleanup Rom first. That's at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1129933
Then flash KC1 etc.

What worked for you? I have the same problem -- lost marketplace app and not sure what to do besides reflashing.
Curious that not everyone else is having this problem as I used the "Step by Step on how to flash any Gingerbread rom". Maybe it's occurring when EXT4 is done.
Lol I'm sitting here and reading all the posts and lolling XD.Just reboot onto recovery and go to mounts there normally should be MUUM but when apps are missing there is MMUM (i think i got that right, the unwanted mount should be data ) after you unmount data reboot and voila none of the apps are missing.

It will flash...but don't expect video (and whatever else it breaks) to work...
It is based off of the latest AT&T leak so it has to have the stock kernel for everything to work.
Yes any Infuse modem will work.
Fonts
Are there any fonts or themes for this rom? I was under the impression it was based on MIUI, and could therefore be customized. the only MIUI element I see is the lockscreen manager. Am i missing something?

Odin/heimdall flash a custom kernel. then download the su updater for cwm I think the link is in the open of caty rom or something. reflash the rom (sometimes su gets corrupt and causes all sorts of issues, best to format /system and reinstall the rom for good measure) and flash the su updater immediately after. make sure you do this before a reboot and that voodoo is disabled on your phone. there should be a folder on the root of the SD card named "Voodoo" the V is capital and in that rider should be a text file or folder named "disable-lagfix" if this is not there before you flash the voodoo/cwm enabled kernel and lagfix gets enabled you must disable it and reboot before you flash the rom.
this leak is really secure, you need the custom "insecure" kernel to root it and there seems to be an issue with the build of bionix causing people problems. read the thread but don't get too confused on all the different advice.
also if you can use heimdall I posted a heimdall flashable dump from my phone in the bionic thread. it already has updated superuser and su.

no Voodoo exists but the disable-lagfix file/folder doesn't. it is usually a file but if you create it as a folder it works.
if you have no Voodoo folder you should create it as well as the disable-lagfix to speed up the process and avoid issues. or you can install bionix from my heimdall package. your choice.
I cant tell fron the screenshots....does this rom have the lockscreen that allows you to choose unlock, phone, sms, or camera?

[REQUEST] Platypus Egg Kernel flashable

I posted this in the general section, but no one has answered it. Please release the platypus egg kernel as a .zip file or post a link to where I can download the kg2 odin file so that I can flash the bali port. I want voodoo and refuse to flash an entire rom just to get voodoo.
check the heimdall thread i have it posted there last 2 pages
heimdall isnt working on my computer unless you posted an odin file in that thread its not going to help me.
Unless you are in love with the Samsung launcher vs. GOv2's Launcher Pro (or my preferance: download ADW.Launcher), there is no reason not to upgrade to GOv2 and get all the other tweaks in addition to the Kernal.
I know you say you've had trouble in the past, but just try it like this:
1) Boot in to CWM with the GOv2 zip on the sdcard.
2) Check your mounts
3) Run a backup
4) Check your mounts
5) Wipe data, wipe cash, wipe dalvik-cache
6) Check your mounts
7) Flash GOv2
8) Check your mounts
9) Advanced-Restore data partition only
10) Check your mounts
11) Reboot
Best case, everything works great and you just upgraded the Kernal as well as many other good things / tweaks, while still keeping all your apps and all your config.
Worst case, just boot in to CWM and restore what you currently have. You only waste about 15min of your life in trying, and I don't see how GOv2 could have any drawbacks over stock+bali (other then the alternate Launcher and themed icons/widgets - I installed AWD, unthemed all my icons, and I love the transparent-black widgets).
You should NEVER need to Odin unless you can't get in to CWM (which should never happen).
NOTE: When I say check your mounts, each partition on that CWM page should read "unmount" (meaning they are currently mounted). Check your mounts before/after each step, including before the final reboot.
I know how to check mounts. I want to keep touchwiz because of the themes. I really like the stock themes, and none of the launchers from the market have the option to view the app drawer as a list. if they did, i would consider using one of them. the stock themes are not really what is important. viewing the app drawer as a list is. my process thus far has been as follows: odin to kd1, kies to kj2, root, backup, flash rom, then restore system only from the backup. it hasnt been stable enough so far, but right now i am considering trying it a little different. i am going to get back to stock kj2, then delete all bloatware and all google apps from the system, then backup, then flash, then restore system from the backup, then reinstall any apps i want from the market. I also have the .apk file for play store, so i am also going to delete market and market updater before backing up. then after restoring system, i am just going to install google play store from my sd card. if anyone has any thoughts, please respond soon. i already odined back to kd1, getting ready to do kies to kj2. that takes a few minutes as i have to unplug the phone from the pc and reinstall the drivers through kies.
But I would prefer to just flash the kernel. I dont see any reason why they wouldnt release it.
well, after a very lengthy and complicated process, i finally have the platypus kernel on kj2. here is what i did. i started kies mini but didnt plug my phone in yet. i just went to menu and install driver. then i odined. after reboot, unplug the phone, back to kies, install drivers again. plug phone in and update firmware through kies. after reboot, unplug and install driver again. turn on usb debugging and root through super one click. reboot. install drivers again. then go through the system and delete all google and tmobile apps. get cwm running and take a backup. connect mass storage and copy b2tb to sd card. flash according to instructions. reboot. let the phone sit while i walk my dog. come back, boot into recovery, select advanced restore, system only. fix permissions, wipe dalvik, reboot. reinstall desired apps through market website. that was all last night. today i supercharged. so far so good.
well, its been almost 24 hours since i finished everything up. stable so far. no random reboots, no force closes, no screen lag or freeze, no crashes. i kept my backup from before the flash, just in case. gonna give it another day or two to make sure everything really is stable, then take a backup of the current setup. once i do that, im leaving this phone the hell alone lol.
To clear the record, I never had trouble flashing roms except for once and it was because i flashed cwm through rom manager before i knew not to do that. my most recent trouble started when i attempted to move dalvik to my ext2 partition. something went wrong when i attempted to move dalvik, and it got deleted. i had a backup and tried to restore, but got an md5sum mismatch. i did a factory reset through voodoo and it screwed up my apn settings. i restored default settings, but it didnt work. so basically after much trial and error, i have a stable advice again.

Wait hold up, what am I thinking... had a little brain freeze there!. You could just use nxd's build of the Bali Kernel for KJ2:

That also has the keystroke logger removed, AND a patch to improve keyboard responsiveness and efficiency!

no problem, enjoy. if you haven't already, read the thread to see how to play with the timer and column delay settings for the keyboard!
Moved thread to general where it should be

"Operation failed" on rooted i727

Running untouched JB leak 2.
ROM is the stablest, smoothest I've seen, but all 3 root explorers I tried after flashing Mohan's insecure kernel and the SuperSU-0.93-Busybox-1.20.2 zip gave that error when renaming most apks.
The cleanup and unroot procedures in the updated Su app left me wondering too, with no apparent effectiveness.
Is it all that different in JB where I shouldn't expect to debloat this way? ...or did I miss something in the rooting process?

Did you wipe data and cache on it?

At one point I wiped caches, but that made no change. Data wiping shouldn't be necessary here, so I didn't.

or you can try this rom [UCLL3] SUPERLITE UNOFFICIAL SAMSUNG JB 4.1.2 >> 202mb << ROOTED - INSECURE KERNEL - INIT.D
you can add back what you want from there also
Much appreciated, thank you Vincom. I'm keeping my SR as close to stock JB leak2 as I can.
Everything's already there when I need it and this rom is as stable as the ICS I was using, a dd for on the job that's low maintenance.
I want to take a subtractive more than an additive approach to features, so I'm trying to figure out why, for example, in my rooted app folder only one of the Accuweather... files could be successfully renamed.
My other question is whether a different su app might function more fully in JB, since the 2 commands I mentioned in OP seemed ineffective.

the reason you cant remove or rename something is because it is being used by android, its like trying to delete a file on a computer while its being used by another program.
use titu to do what you want

Thanks again Vincom! I'm not a tibu fan but I spent a few more minutes at [HOWTO] THE ULTIMATE NEWB GUIDE and tried again. For my needs, I
Flashed Chainfire's CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip,
verified root using Root Checker,
quarantined using App Quarantine what I hadn't already disabled using stock methods.
Explorer+ still can't rename the files you said were 'locked', but my phone boots 5 sec. faster.
