Beginner Mac User

Hi All,
Just recently got the Skyrocket (well, Rogers version) and just had a few questions as I'm looking into rooting the device, mainly so that I can under clock and conserve battery life in general without compromising the device experience too much.
I have a few questions I was hoping the community could assist with
1) Is there a post that kind of gives a summary of basic terms? (i.e. flashing, ROMs, rooting etc)
2) Any step-by-step walkthroughs for flashing my device using a Mac? Recommended ROM version I should use?
3) Are the AT&T and Rogers variants the same?
Thanks!

Thanks! Anything even more basic? i.e. what is a ROM?

Lol, I had questions exactly like that as soon as I made an XDA account. I got my phone rooted, froze a couple of apps but thats about it. Don't know how to do any cool **** like flash my rom for all the different themes etc.

ROM (Read Only Memory) is a software that is stored in your phones internal memory. People also use the term ROM as for flashing an updated version of the firmware for their phone. There are other custom ROM that are available that are made from ROM developers here on XDA. These custom ROM has extra features such as WIFI tethering, theme options, speed optimizations, etc.
Then there are Kernels.. which I will leave for you to do some reading. LOL.

So rooting allows you to install a custom ROM?
...so kernels?

ROMs and kernals are a bit different. Kernals (or atleast the only ones I know of) are more used for performance tweaks, such as overclocking. But first you need to root your phone, then install a CWM recovery and you're all set!

Hey just wanna let u guys know i have mac too.

Youngs kernels thread Compilation

Hi guys so this will be basically be just the same as my guide on the general section...
Only this time it will be specific to Kernels
As of the moment we have 2 Kernels the are being worked upon
V's(viveks kernels) and M's Kernel(merruks) both are still works in progress so please bear with me on this but once they are both done of course change logs etc will be posted here for easier reference as well...
If more kernels will be developed then everything will be compiled here as well..
so for the moment..
let this be my opening staments
What Is A Kernel really?
Corn kernels are used as pelletized fuel for pellet stoves and furnaces. Corn kernels are a natural pellet, which gives them a huge economic advantage over other man-made biomass pellets and wood pellets.
well not that kernel...
Kernel
The central or core software component of most operating systems. Its responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components) and can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for resources (especially memory, processors, and I/O devices). (from xda wiki)
What is a Custom Kernel
Well is basically allows you to do a lot of things like underclocking overclocking,initd scripts support for performance tweaks...
make your phone dance and drink beer,,,that sorta stuff..hope you get my point...custom kernels allow you to do taht stock kernels wont...
Right now
We basically have 4 Kernels
they would be
Stock kernel
Terma's Kernel
Viveks Kernel
Merruks kernel
among these 4 only 2 are at this point suitable for daily use(well we could do 3 but there has been reports of not booting up)
one would be the stock kernel next be Terma's kernel which supports a2sd (not sure if init.d is supported can anyone aside from me confirm this)
merruks kernel would be the tentative third since alpha7.50rc20 boot on some and boots not on some...
as for the mean time 80 percent of the kernels are work in progress...
hands down to the devs that are creating them please let us continue to show supprt for the betterment of our devices
and world peace(with matching miss universe hand wave)
Merruk kernel Update 03.25.2012

3 : Flash the Kernel Via Odin (YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT THERE IS MANY OTHER METHODS).
4 : Boot into CWM Recovery (FIXED THIS TIME).
5 : Install Ext4.zip.
6 : Wipe DATA & CACHE (NOT NEDDED BUT PREFERABLE).
7 : ENJOOOOOOY. (Check the internal memory )

Kernels
nicely put.
as you probably already knew, kernels are the core of an operating system.
like the engine of a car or whatever

The part of an OS that directly communicates with the hardware.

[ROM]CM10-Pure v1 (31/7/2012}

Thanks to the encouragement of blindndumb, I've decided to personally make a cm10 rom too. This CM10 Rom also acts as my base for my PA.
So... Yea. As Usual,
Double Thanks for cnote74 for making the kernel too for me as my computer is the most old fashion one :-/
And also 0.0 for teaching me how to port
And also blindndumb for the camera patch
And also ...Awesome... for the amazing AwesomeBeatsv3
And also hdorius for supporting me all the way till now
And also ParanoidAndroid For even making this rom possible
(YES I LOVE THE 2 WORDS AND ALSO )
Flashing Instructions ( Very Important -> You must be on cm10 )
1. Make Sure You're On The Latest CWM Or 4EXT Recovery
2. Make A Backup
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik
4. Flash ROM ×Still requesting permission before uploading×
5. Flash Gapps ×http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip×
6. Reboot and Enjoy
When will it be released?
It will be released as soon as i get the permissions from other dev and at the same time thanking blindndumb,hdorius and cnote74 for helping me through this difficult times and making it a big success

Multiple sensor vendors for the Camera exist. Just because it is an HTC phone does not mean you have an HTC camera(omnivision or Samsung) You need to know this stuff man:silly:

I can understand if people want to make there own roms. And i really appreciate it if they share the work with the community. But before you do this, you should learn something about how to do this stuff!

Sorry but I wont be going anywhere near anything you release and I use that term loosely. You appear to be jumping from one genuine developer's rom's to another trying to cobble up your own rom. Just reading your previous posts clearly shows your technical abilities are rather lacking.

Should maybe also add, non or unofficial CM10 rom as well to the title.
IDK
WR

Stop me if i am wrong... But if you compiled CM10 from source then why do you have to wait for permission???? What CM10 rom are you using as a base then??? Jellytime is the only one i know of to boot and run with CM10, and we all know you will not get permission from Random

Guys,
I have already requested a mod take a look at this. I find it weird that his computer cannot compile a kernel but it can compile a rom. Even on my custom built with a 6 core AMD Phenom with 16 GB of RAM it takes about an hour to an hour and a half to compile from source. That would require at least 2 days time on his machine with a melted core. We will see if this is legit. Let the mods take care of this

Let me take a peek at this. He thanked people for compliling the kernel and then thanked multiple other people... so he took a bunch of other peoples work and crunched them into one... something seems alittle fishy is all I say. And yes its pretty clean on my part that he doesn't seem to know what he's doing. (Don't get me wrong I'm no where near being a dev but it just seems like he's trying to make himself popular for making one) idk.That's my input so ill just see where this goes. Goodluck

Thread Closed.
Placeholder threads for "coming soon" ROMs are not allowed. Neither are ROMs that use other peoples work without permission.
Note to OP, I you wish to use randomblame's kernel, compile it yourself, its not that hard and there is nothing in the GPL that prevents you from doing so.

Imoseyon BETA leanKernel TW (8/8 - v0.1, kexec)

I did not create "this" and I'm not taking credit for it. This is an awesome kernel created by an awesome dev. I have seen a lot of people asking about where to find this kernel so I asked the dev if I could make this thread to help everyone out over here. I do plan to keep this updated as he updates his OP over on Rootz.
LINK TO ORIGINAL POST ON ROOTZWIKI
This is a kexec Touchwiz test kernel. Use his thread to report bugs, etc.
WARNING: If you're on full stock, you must install busybox first.
DOWNLOAD
latest beta kernel: flashable zip
to return to stock kernel: flashable zip
INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure you're on a recovery that supports auto-flash (any CWM compatible recovery should work - I use v6.0.1.0).
Make sure your ROM has busybox installed properly (otherwise it will bootloop).
Download and flash the zip file in recovery (yup that's it).
Reboot (it will appear to boot twice after that and at every boot).
FEATURES
Unnecessary components removed for lean and fast kernel.
Compiled using latest Linaro compiler with additional optimizations.
Latest Linux updates applied (currently up to 3.0.39).
Ramdisk optimizations.
Kexec (credit goes to Mike Kasick, Austin Dicken, etc.)
OC'ed to 1.9Ghz (limited to 1.51Ghz at boot, use an app to change max freq)
SIO I/O scheduler default
Fast Charge (toggle via the "ffc" script - open terminal, type ffc then enter, plug in phone via USB)
On-demand governor backported from Linux 3.5
CHANGELOG (BETA)
v0.1 (b31fd85c46133f21d3e83d2a5c7d6f94) - initial beta release. Changes from test v12.2.
CHANGELOG (TEST KERNEL)
v10.4 - initial test release
v11.1 (0a169bbc58f7f5b14315f6e2dad47226) - leaner kernel, ondemand governor backported from Linux 3.5, latest interactive governor (not recommended yet)
v12 (8d31143328f19a6183ce6ed50d3f2f76) - fixed default max frequency (really set to 1.51ghz), custom boot animation support, init.d support, Linux 3.0.39 update
v12.2 (3640421cf043e4bdb88de3162c9984fa) - fixed blue LED issue at boot for some ROMs.
TODO
This is alpha/test kernel. More development will come.
Remember this is just a repost of his OP. To get support from the dev you will more than likely have to go over to Rootzwiki to get it. All of the links in this post redirect to the OP on Rootzwiki and not to download links. You will have to go to his OP to download the kernel.

How do I use USB Fast Charge?
1) Unplug from USB cable.
2) Open Terminal Emulator, type "ffc" (without quotes) and enter. This command will toggle your fast charge state.
3) Plug it back in.
Note: running the same command again will disable fast charge.
Also, when fast charge is enabled USB communication will be disabled.
Why KEXEC?
I actually had my own hybrid recovery/kernel method, which was kinda cool. No special kernel modification was necessary, simpler boot hijack, etc. But it did mean that recovery was modified and required flashing into recovery partition for every new version. Plus all the cool cats were using kexec.

I don't mean to be a jerk or step out of place, but ,there really isn't any development here since everything is centered at Rootz. I can certainly understand a DISCUSSION thread in General, but all the actual development is over at Rootzwiki. Why not create a discussion thread in General and allow Imo to make his own thread in development if he so chooses to do so?
That's my 2 cents. Mods feel free to nuke my thoughts here if you'd like.

I didn't want it to get lost in General and I asked him if he wanted me to make one or if he could make one over here for us and he told me to go ahead. I see where you are coming from though.
EDIT: If mods feel this should be elsewhere feel free to move it. I just figured this would be the best place to put it.

Yah i think it will be useful since half of the Rom threads are all about this kernal anyways there taking up way to many pages. There does need to be a seperate thread for it so good ups.

If you did not development nor can support it then it does not belong in Development

Also please show where the original developers authorized you to copy their material and links

thanks, trying the beta now

No problem. I have the beta on my phone and it seems really solid so far.

this has already been covered in my guide...i think having multiple guide threadz for each and every rom/kernel is silly and confusing. which is why i made a all in one guide that covers all develpment and tweaks...what not. part of the reason i link to the original dev threads so users can keep up on the lastest there but ask questions in my thread.

I didn't realize there was a link to Imos kernel anywhere except inside of ROM threads so I figured I would duplicate his post here so people here would see. There is a whole lot of people who posted in the Synergy thread that they didn't know where his kernel was or where to find it and things like that. I figured the easiest way would be to have a post on XDA devoted to his kernel. If we had a mega thread of all the root methods, tools, ROMs, kernels, and themes then that would probably be better than this to help people find anything they may need for their phone with very little effort.

I'm assuming this wont work on the cm10 nightlies?

yes. in their current form your device will still boot like 3 times though. There will be no change. In the next few days devs will be unpacking their zips and removing the kexec process. Now they just need to copy over any modules and dd the kernel to mmcblk0p7. But yes, these kernels will still work fine right now.
When the devs repackage them, however, you will no longer have to bootloop 3 times before booting with your custom kernel. it will load on first boot everytime, until you dd the stock kernel back to mmcblk0p7

When I flash nothing happens?
I just put on the Psycho ROM on my i9300 today and wanted to test this kernel out to see what 1.9Ghz feels like. I downloaded both the experimental and stable build.
I flashed the experimental build first, but my Siyah kernel still showed up. So I tried it again, but to no avail. Same incident with the stable build.
I notice when it flashes it seems like less than a second... I downloaded the experimental build v1.7 a few days ago, and its stable build today.
Any ideas?

[DEV]- Pantech Vega N6 A860 - CM10 Porting

This thread is going to be WIP thread for the porting of CM10 to the Pantech Vega N6 A860 codename e51.
Currently kernels are extracted and device tree wip while I collect the files to be input
https://github.com/VincentEmmanuel/android_kernel_pantech_e51k.git
I welcome anyone who is interested to help out in any way because I am really new in this porting stuff.
WIll update as and when more work is done.
Things working on now
1. Trying to find a suitable msm8960 common files repo (Not sure whether needed this at all but conducting R&D now)
2. Compiling a list of proprietary files needed for the build
God bless.

ClockworkMod for A860 K/L/S
Flash using fastboot. Instructions are all over XDA so please search.
Thanks

thanks so much for your work...
another than CM10.1 , I also want to see customized kernel which can further enhance A860 , like power tweaks, disable logging, init.d or even add FauxAudio mod

Finally something about te Vega No6
I have the A860K. I installed a customized ROM from here http://mizal.net:82/pantech/NO.6/
Works fine, but it is not very customized. Still would like to get rid of Korean characters.Another kernel. deodexed. Less bloatware, etc.
Any other customizations?
Cheers!

I think this is the stock kernel. I think we need to grab a working kernel from Xperia Z or Oppo Find 5 since we are on the same architecture.

I'll post detailed instructions here once it is confirmed to work

i hope we can get some update on your efforts. though the crowd for this specific device is fewer than a handful for now, a lot of users are just waiting anxiously for any development....

Is there hope for this device to receive custom ROM?

there's a very active community in vegaviet coming up with mods and roms based on stock.you may want to check them out.

so why not set up your APN? that should be easy.
Also, using the ROM from vegaviet, i noticed the following observation :
-there was a considerable build-up of lag after three to four days of use, especially when doing a lot of web browsing
-the browser is unable to open some websites/webpages due to Ad-Block restriction
-the forced DNS settings most times slow-down my internet connection
-the keyboard still retains Korean functionality, with Korean characters sometimes getting in the way when typing
-kernel logging was enabled
much of the above were solved using the uninstall zip of crossbreeder - i just noticed our Vietnamese friends are fond of using cross-breeder on all their ROM mods.
the keyboard i uninstalled and deleted the IME file in system and just replaced it using Optimus G Pro's keyboard IME installer.
everything should be all good. don't ask me where i got those zips - a simple search should do wonders for you.

The rom doesn't allow for setting up your own APN. Those features are not available in JB. Thanks for the tips but I just went back to stock since I wasn't able to get the network going.
