Hello!
I flashed CM9 RC2 recently and now whatsapp doesn't work. I get warning after installing it saying that custom rom might cause whatsapp not to work properly. After starting whatsapp it simply closes down.
Before CM9 RC2 i used HyperSensation Rom (2.9 i think), and it worked normally without any problems.
Is there anything i can do to get this to work besides reflashing ROM?
Thank you.
Delete the data of the app.. Un-install it and install it again that might help

Tried that several times. Problem still persists.
EDIT: Just to report. Eventually i installed latest AOKP rom from their site (Milestone 6), and it works fine now.
ive had this same problem. I am usuing the CM9 RC2 right from the cyanogen mod website for samsung captivate ATT. if i install the AOKP rom you think it will work. and if i do whats the difference between AOKP build 40 and milestone 6.
edit: ok i installed milestone 6 and still did not work. what the hell

AOKP builds marked with number (for example: build 40) are something like beta builds and are more likely to have bugs. Milestone builds are more stable releases.
Regarding problem with whatsapp. Seriously i dont know why is this happening. I tried searching net and found couple guys with same problem but nobody offered solution. As i said in my first post, i used hypersensation which was build on one of earlier CM9 releases and it worked fine. So i would suggest to try some earlier releases of AOKP or CM9 or some rom from XDA based on them.
could you please provide me with a link to the rom you used. i will try that one
Here is hypersensation. However i used 2.9 version based on CM9, current version is 3.1. Download is in post 2. In post 3 you can find AOKP roms, but i haven't tried these.
I am using a samsung Captivate. will this rom work for me
My guess is no. You should probably go to Samsung Captivate forum and check there. I don't know anything about Captivate.
These kernels are for CyanogenMod 10 - Alpha 4.
The goal of these builds is to fix the issues with phone signal, which is not properly working with the stock kernel. Nothing was changes, no extra features, no nothing.
There won't be any more "development" now that the bug is fixed.
The experimental sync bug fix, as the name says, it's a new sync bug fix I was testing. It's here because it partially fixed the missing signal issue at first, but it's not the real fix.

kernel-cm-10-A4-restore.zip: stock alpha 4 kernel.
Note: I forgot to change the "name" of the kernel, so you'll get [email protected]_CM9. Don't worry, it's for CM10
Even though I marked V2 as experimental build and I added it as alternative choice, it's the most downloaded version.
As I reported several time ago, mobile data is maybe less stable with it and I think it's because the PDA state is controlled with early suspend instead of the regulr suspend, as it was in the old Samsung releases. In case of problems, flash V1.
If you noticed anything, please report

If you are stuck at Samsung splash screen and you are unable to reboot in recovery (I don't know why some users are facing this issue), so you are not able to flash another kernel or restore a backup, you can try to flash one of the kernels with ODIN.

kernel-cm-10-A4-restore-ODIN.tar: stock alpha 4 kernel.
Reboot in Download mode and flash as PDA.
Kernel modules are not included in the PDA. They are not necessary if you were using dhiru's CM with no custom kernels. If you are not sure, do as follows:
Flash kernel as PDA with ODIN (assuming you are stuck at Samsung splash screen and can't reboot in recovery)
Reboot in recovery (pull the battery if nothing works and use the three-keys combo)
Flash CyanogenMod 10 zip (your data will be preserved)
Flash once again kernel as PDA with ODIN

Update: Now I know what stock ROMs use (GPIO 126 = 0). I'll soon update the kernel.
I already wrote that this won't be a custom kernel, no extra features, overclock etc. I opened this thread simply to test a fix, that's why I opened it in the general section, even though the dev section would have been more appropriate.
I'm lazy, so read this post.
kernel V1: includes only the sec_get_param_value fix
kernel V2: includes both the first change (the reworked sync bug) and the sec_get_param_value fix

As I posted in dhiru's thread, with my kernel I catch the mobile signal faster than with the stock kernel. I don't have to wait, all I have to do is to turn off and then on the screen once.
I've recently done some changes to my kernel regarding the sync bug. So, suspecting those changes are what makes the difference, I applied the same changes to dhiru's kernel and built it.
I tried to reboot few times and there's really a difference, at least for me.
I suspect that with the stock kernel there are only issues in reporting the current intensity, because 3G and calls seem to work.

I don't know if battery life is affected, if the sync bug is really gone (no issues till now) or if there are issues with this kernel (I'm not using it. I only tested it for a few minutes). Flash at your own risk.
Don't report any bug in CM10 thread if you are using this kernel. Use the restore zip first, try to reproduce the bug and then report.
Question
Hi loSconosciuto, i have one question regard alpha 4. I have problem with signal too (as i posted in alpha 4 general thread) but i think it is beacuse my modem (LUBKPD) has been overwrite to DDLE1. Is there any posibility to create a flashable zip only to overwrite my (our, for those who live in south america and has the same problem). Sorry to ask you but i do not know what to do, cause my media storage don't get recognize and i can`t back to stock rom and no one reply my question in general, my phone is practically a stone, except for that moment when get signal (sms and calls only). Thank you!

I could, but I don't have LUBKPD modem.
All you have to do is to take modem.bin from the PDA of your ROM (as you may know, you can open it as a normal tar), copy it in /radio overwriting the existing one and reboot. Permissions will be automatically set on reboot.
If you want, here two (different) flashable zips I made for myself. You have to replace modem.bin inside of the zip with yours and then flash.
radio-cm-XXLE4-galaxysl-signed.zip (will erase /radio and then copy the modem)
radio-cm-KPU-galaxysl-noerase-signed.zip (will simply copy the modem)
Works perfectly. Thank you dear Sir :thumbup:

Ok, I think I almost fixed the problem. sec_get_param_value is an exported symbol defined in param.ko (yeah, brilliant...), but we don't use that module anymore in alpha4. The consequence is that the function that turns on the modem is never executed completely.
It still needs some improvements. switch_sel is never set or initialized, but at least the connection is immediately enstablished now. The problem is that I'm not sure which is the best option, so I'll wait for more opinions about it.
In the meanwhile I built two new kernels:
kernel V1: includes only the sec_get_param_value fix
kernel V2: includes both the first change (the reworked sync bug) and the sec_get_param_value fix
V2 is a little bit more "experimental".
OP updated with the new patch.

Maybe this is not the right place for this thread, but I opened it here because there won't be any development.
I flashed the V2 and I got the signal instantly after flashing

I wrote some of the original instructions on the i9003 forums, so procedure/method is not a problem here.
I think the issue is I flashed the v2 kernel over the ParanoidAndroid latest 2.54 Alpha4 assuming that as the base is this ROM, the kernel would work. But got a soft brick. Its all fine now, had to go through the whole KPE, LF2 process and now flashing CM10 Aplha4.
If you could just tell me if replacing the modem.bin from LF4 is enough for the signal issues or do I still need to flash the V2 kernel?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Flashed V2 but got a 2nd soft brick. Went through the whole process again () My signal and data are working but the indicator is greyed out.
resolved problems
I had problems relating to signal strength and storage.
Thanks and its now working perfectly.

I'm very well mate, you? :highfive:
Just been off the radar due to a choked studio schedule. I've been somewhat active on the One X forums though.
Cousin asked me to update his SL (passed on from me) and this happened last night. I'm not sure whether to flash the v2 kernel again as signal etc is working but the icon is all grey and it takes about 15 mins after a reboot to get signal. Don't have the time to go through the entire clean flash process all over again.

Yeah I don't know if any have xt925 support or not. Hopefully they will include them eventually.
Gummy Rom
I recently tried Gummy Rom for 3.4 kernel. It was pretty good, but had trouble with bluetooth freezing the phone and wifi dropout at times. It has great progress, and appreciate those who are working on it. :good:
I have installed dhacker's 4.4 cm build from 24/6. Happy to report that it boots - and so far, at least - works great. This is on an xt925! It's the first 4.4 bootloader rom other than moto that I have got to actually boot up on this phone.
I installed gummy and have been using the auto updater running nightlies right now I'm running 6-24 build . it seems like the the previous ver. had fixed the screen dimming issue but it seemed to come back on this ver. but rarely happens I haven't tied Bluetooth yet and the popping/static sound issue is still there but other than that I like the rom . thanks for

WildKernel

Go check out Tame! It goes great with this and it handles OTA updates for this kernel.
This is a Linux based (3.0.101) Kernel which is maintained by me kept inline with the Cyangenmod Kernel so this is compatible with ALL the latest KitKat Roms (unless otherwise stated in the ROM).
Please report anything good and bad so that I know what to keep and what not to keep for the next release. This also helps me push out fixes faster when presented with lots of information (such as logs etc.).
Please see changelogs for an in-depth look at features. Also take a look at the screenshots for a sneak peek.

Installer zip fixed, please re download if you downloaded kernel before seeing this message....thanks!
The new installer worked, thanks. I'll play around with it and report back but I can already say that WiFi direct doesn't work (it's always the first thing I check b/c it's the only problem I have with any of the skyrockets current kernels)

Are you sure that problem is directly related to the kernel? It sounds more like a Rom issue....does it work on your rom's stock kernel?

I guess the burning question for me if this includes all of Sultan's bluetooth fixes. His kernel for CM really is the gold standard for our device thus far.
I see you mentioned him in the OP so I am hopeful lol. I'd love to be able to flash this kernel with any rom knowing the usual plagues (such as the constant BT disconnect) are no longer an issue.
Thanks a lot for this! Nice to see the SR still getting some love

I'm pretty sure it's at the kernel level only because it works with @Sultanxda's kernel. His is the only 4.4.x kernel that WiFi direct has ever worked on for me on the skyrocket. It worked on the official CM10.2 ROMS/kernels but every since CM11 was introduced it's been broken. The ROM I'm using now could connect with WIFI direct when built with Sultan's kernel.
Even with Sultans kernel, Miracast (with uses WIFI direct) will connect but the graphics are all scrambled. I suspect that has to do with some of the memory enhancements he's made. If I knew how to build kernels I'd like to try using the official CM11 kernel source and only applying his WIFI direct commit to see what the results are, but unfortunately I don't know how to build them and can't seem to find the time to do the research to learn. Maybe one day.
I've had no issues otherwise and I've been using it for a few days now. Thanks

Once your screen goes black from the reboot, hold both the volume buttons until your device goes into recovery. Then either use ADB or your recovery's file manager to retrieve /proc/last_kmsg and it post it here. It always helps to present issues with a log ready, for future reference.
So... I got bored.
I installed the following ROM's and got bootloops for each (basically every 4.4.4 ROM I know of for Skyrocket):
AOKP - Dated 15-Sep-14
CM11 - Dated 19-Oct-14
PacRom - Dated 25-Aug-14
Mokee - Dated 12-Oct-14
Dirty Unicorns - Dated 2-Oct-14
SlimKat - Dated 14-Oct-14
CarbonRom - Dated 17-Oct-14
Beanstalk - Dated 9-Oct-14
CandyKat - Dated 18-Oct-14
Paranoid - Dated 9-Oct-14
I didn't test the following ROMs:
SultanXDA CM11 - Dated 19-Oct-14 Didn't test since I was told it would bootloop
MIUI V6 - Currently getting a bootloop so no reason to try it

Never done this before (well, I know how to get into recovery...lol). I'll post the file in a few minutes after reflashing one of the ones above. Can i empty this folder when I'm done? There's 200 or so subfolders in there.
ETA: Added attachment.

Hmm interesting, since I dont have this device, I can't do this myself. But do u think u can you do the following?
1. Flash one of the Roms you listed that bootlooped above
2. Open my kernel installer and delete /system/bin/thermald
3. Push it to your device and install
4. Does it boot?

Sadly, bootloops again (I installed the AOKP rom; clean, no GApps, let it boot once, boot to recovery and flash modified zip).

Too bad i hope emmanuel fix this.. Anything i can do ..
Reboots
I was playing around in Tame earlier and my phone rebooted a few times. I wasn't doing anything too crazy, turned off SweepToWake, changed the governor to Lazy and it froze and rebooted. The first time it happened I had changed the max frequency and a couple of other things, so I attributed the reboot to that, however when it booted back up I only changed the two items mentioned above and it rebooted again, this time it stayed off so I booted into recovery and got the kMsg, hopefully it helps. That's not the first time I've used Tame, I initially installed it, changed a few things and everything was fine, but my phone had been turned off since then so I was going back in to set it back the way I had it.
I'm currently using the liquidsmooth as my ROM, and this is really the first issue I've had with your kernel (other than WIFI direct, but that's pretty much all the kernels for this device). I think you've even improved my battery life, I don't do gaming or anything so I don't really ever notice any performance gains or that sort of thing, but I haven't noticed anything moving slower, which is good.
Update
Another minor update today, sorry about the initial discrepancies! Blame me, since I don't actually have this device. Well it should boot on all ROMs now, enjoy .... I guess.
Works great on PA! I'll mess with it for a bit and provide useful feedback.

Flashed successfully on Carbon 10/17 nightly. Seems pretty snappy so far. Nice work! :thumbup:
Hi. Thanks for sharing this Kernel. I have a question...
Before, I was using Carbon with its stock kernel, Conservative governor and noop; there was no lag at all, but battery seems to last too little time in continous use and even when it was with screen off. Even before that, the CPU governor was set by default at Interactive, but the Skyrocket freezes in several times, sometimes after unplug it from charger or after unlocking it after a time (like 1 hour or something), sometimes the device hangs so long until I reboot it or it reboots itself. So, Interactive isn't the best choice for me.
The question is: What is the best choice for a governor if I want the longest battery life, but with any freezing any time?
Could you please help me?

Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to say that actually I'm using Lazy governor at 96-1350 and sio as you recommended it, but I thought that maybe there's a no listed recommendation for maximun battery or something like that.
