[Q] [REQ] Install custom kernel to stock 2.3.4

Hi,
I would like to use supercurios's color calibration tool to change my colors back to vibrant. But I want to preserve the possibility for getting future OTA update. Or if it is not possible with custom kernel then the chance to revert back stock kernel easily at least.
My Nexus is
Hardware: i9020T SAMOLED
ROM: completely stock 2.3.4 (no rooted, no unlocked bootloader)
Baseband: I9020XXKD1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80 android [email protected] #1
BuildNr: GRJ22
I read a lot of threads and I'm now pretty confused what I really need to do this and what kernel is for this??
Please help me and give me a step-by-step guide what should I do to use color calibration tool?
Thank you!

please anyone, at least let me know if it is impossible!
thanks!

First of all you need to get clockworkmod recovery. Then you flash a kernel's zip file through cwm. Any kernel in the Nexus S android dev section has supercurio's color mod included, then you can download the Voodoo control app in the market to set your color preference. Hope that helps.

first of all thank you for response
can I install CWM onto 2.3.4 as it is described for 2.3 in stickies? Any kernel is good for receiving and install OTA?

1. yes you can,
2. i think so but im not entirely sure. havent been to stock since a week after i got my nexus s.
if you want to be as close to stock but getting the extra features of a custom rom, i suggest you flash an AOSP (andoird open source project) based custom rom.

Thanks for help!

You're welcome

Wrong section to ask

Its a development question I apologize for being in the wrong section, but I would still like help with this.

Worst place to put this bro q&a is where you need to go

i think it should be in the kernel. depends if it's in there.

you need to remove the battery, then remove your account from xda and then youll have sweep2wake

this.this.this

You already know this is in the wrong section and I hope you learned your lesson... But to answer your question, it has to be compiled into the kernel. Showp is soon to release an AOSP ics kernel so I'm sure we will have it soon.

Lel. There's a Question & Answer section for a reason.

"Brotherhood of Terepin"

Here's a direct link to the superb Tamcore kernel:
http://files.tamcore.eu/android/?dir=tamcore-kernel
Read the site carefully as Sweep2wake is disabled by default.
You have to flash the add-ons that you require separately.
Cheers.

+1. This worked for a couple of days for me. However my camera stopped working so I had to revert back to the bundled kernel in the Rom. I am on Spider's AOKP/CM9 build. Some has success in flashing the kernel to get sleep2wake, but it's a hit or miss for me. I think I have an app that gives a force reboot like noLED. That app seems to conflict with a lot of mods that I experienced personally.

[Q] Help required installing CM9/10 on my Samsung Galaxy S 4G

Hi,
I was trying to install the CM9/10 for my device and I found a link on how to install here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Installing_CyanogenMod_9
I am following the steps, but i am stuck at a place where i have to install CWM 5.0.2.x or higher. I checked their website http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and found version 3.2.0.0. Could you guys please let me know where to find 5.0.2.8?? or suggest an alternative. I am sorry if there was a post similar to this, as i have done extensive search before posting this thread. Thanks in advance, waiting for a reply.

As stated on the wiki page you linked to, you need a kernel with CWM Recovery preinstalled (don't use ROM Manager!)
This page shows you how to flash a kernel onto the device to give you the proper recovery.
Keep reading the wiki, there's lots of good stuff in there to teach you how this device works as far as flashing goes

Thank you!! I was able to install the Kernel and the CM9 ROM....

Look for bhundven's Blast Off kernel or AntonX's Basic with a Twist in the Development section to then flash CM9 from.

What ROM?
Sense or AOSP?
It makes a difference on where the boot animation file is.

Help with flashing kernel

I am trying to install Franco kernel on my phone, and I have found the thread for this, but I am really confused on how to install it on my phone. I know that it's the same as installing a ROM, so I downloaded the appropriate version for my phone, but it said "Failed" while flashing it with TWRP. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, you are doing something wrong. FranciscoFranco does not have a kernel for the Verizon GSIII. Stop what you're doing and use a kernel from the VZW GSIII Original dev section.

All the Touchwiz kernels do a good job with increasing battery life.

Wow, I tried to flash the Zeus kernel and it just messed up my phone.. I rebooted and my screen was black. Couldn't reboot again, so I went into recovery mode and restored from back up :/ What did I do wrong?

which rom have you?

I am currently on CM10.1

You need an AOSP kernel. Not TW. KT747 is probably the way to go. Just make sure you download the AOSP version. Next time say what ROM you're running. That way you can avoid confusion early on.

Oh, alright. So that kernel is battery friendly? And is there a specific thread where I can find kernels for my ROM and or phone?

Not sure if there is a single thread that lists all the kernels. Just go here to the original android development forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1692
and look for threads that have AOSP and Kernel in the thread title.

When is your CM10.1 rom dated as? When was it released? You might need a kernel from before the rom's date.

As in, from March? lol Ahh, you basically can't flash any current kernel out unless it's from around March 4th. Ahh, you're using the Linux 3.0 based version then. All AOSP roms have moved to the Linux 3.4 kernel as of early April Edit: Actually,mid-March was the Linux 3.0 to 3.4 switch which means all kernels are now incompatible with roms dated say before early March.
Here's KT747 from March 5th, should be fine flashing this.
Edit: flash the AOSP 4.2 version btw, that's what CM10.1 is based on

If I flash this kernel, will it wipe everything? And is this the only kernel that I can use? I'm really sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions, lol...

Nah, flashing kernels only necessitates you wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery. Neither of which is user data. Cache and Dalvik Cache get rebuilt once the rom boots so it's not something you'll notice besides the initial boot.
As for your second question, no this is not the only kernel you can use. If you want to stay on this exact rom, then you'll just have to do a lot of searching through kernel threads, for their Linux 3.0 based kernels from early March. However, this goes along with what I said in my prior post. Given that you are on a March 4th rom, you can only use Linux 3.0 based kernels which kernel devs usually mention in their changelog. Most (honestly all) kernel devs have stopped actively developing these and have moved onto Linux 3.4 kernels which will not boot on the rom you are on because it is outdated.
I encourage you to upgrade your rom to a current one and to keep up with active development that way you don't get left behind when flashing kernels (if that's your thing).

Alright, I will flash the 3.0 kernel right now. And as for updating my CM10.1, can i just update it through my phone? I've came across this option where I can just update it through settings. Will updating ROMS wipe my stuff? And I REALLY appreciate your help.

I wouldn't. Being that you're moving from a March CM build to a May CM build with a lot of changes, you need to do a full wipe in recovery to upgrade roms. Doing a dirty flash in this case introduces way too much room for issues to arise. As long as you do not wipe internal storage then you will not lose your data on the internal sdcard.
