Anykernel - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone updated koush's AnyKernel to work for our device yet?
The one I used on the S3 was device specific, just want to make sure I don't brick anything by flashing to wrong partitions.

every kernel is device specific. there may be device variants, but they only work for each particular model. there are plenty of great kernels here. look 'em up and enjoy. cheers.

Thanks for the reply, but I think you may have misunderstood
AnyKernel itself isn't a kernel, its a tool for packaging the zImage from a kernel you've built into a flashable zip

Is there an AnyKernel template for the Nexus 5?

Yea, but I only see kernel flashable zips that also change the ramdisk. AnyKernel is supposed to only replace the zImage for the kernel.

Check those kernels those are as close to a stock kernel that there is both are rooted and work with rom manager.

Got a 950 which is average for the phone, but I'm expecting devs and their custom ROMs to do very well with this kernel

If you don't mind me asking, how is it that the 'UXCLF5' Kernel works with the AT&T 'Skyrocket' variant phones? I thought the Rogers & AT&T phones were slightly different, just as the international version's hardware is different. Correct me if I'm wrong!
This is all new to me as I'm just beginning to understand what's going on here, and I'm very interested in delving into custom ROM development.
Thank you sir

I don't think we'll see a changelog for this. I'm flashing it and will look for diffs, e.g., whether or not touch key lights stay on - obeying the phone's always on setting. Right now, only Mohan's kernel offers a fix for this.

The I727UCLF5 kernels (both flavors) do not fix the touch keys always on issue.
Back to Mohan's Cymbaline 1.3.
Can someone conform that bootanimation are working. I can't make them work. I make ton of them and have knowlage how to but on unsecure or stock no go on bootanimation.
Sean, how difficult would it be to put certain working files from Kernels like CymBaline (or the source it was built from) and inject them into a kernel like the one in this thread? Basically fixing the issues that still exist in the skyrocket kernels. Would having the source code from the Cymbaline build, but not from the syrocket build be an opstical? I am just wondering if it could be done. TIA.
Yes and no. But It wouldnt be from ice source. Ics nor ics source Has been released,yet. Or well ..its complicated..
But soon ican assure you

Patch the kernel and compile from source.
No, I'm not joking.
I believe the kernel devs are working on getting something a lot better than a governor on a 2.6 kernel, but I'll leave that to them to reveal at the proper time.

Hopefully the kernel devs are not givin up
Since this is a GB kernel, it should be simple, assuming you know how to recompile a kernel from source, just to grab the OC etc routines out of one of AntonX's or bhundven's kernels and then just stick them in and recompile. Since everyone is using the same kernel so far this would only need to be done once. This erzatz ICS is slow and sure could use OC, more governors etc.
I added smartassv2 last night, but want to get a "clean" build off the AOKP tree and have a few days running it before I release it to the wilds.

Download his rom unzip it grab the boot.img and flash it with heimdall. Then grab the wifi module(bcm4329 I think is the name lol) and push it to the same place u got it from (/system/lib/modules/)
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible neither is thomasraines or xda if you brick your device you are doing this on your own free will. The only thing you can say is how awesome thomas is for creating this and how awesome I am for uploading and writing directions. Any blame will result in me pointing and laughing uncontrollably.
Files removed thomsasraines posted the kernel in the dev section it can be found there. Please visit his thread and follow what he posted so you can get the full effect ok? If not tough I aint re upping the files .
Click the statement above for direct route to the kernel thread.
Unzip the bcm4329.ko, xda wouldnt let me upload a .ko file .
Put the bcm4329.ko file on your sdcard. Then using something like root explorer copy it to /system/lib/modules folder.
I suggest renaming the old one to bcm4329.ko.bak just in case.
Using heimdall you can flash the kernel using the following command.
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
This is from terminal in ubuntu or cmd in windows. Make sure you are running the commands from the folder you put the boot.img in.
Once the phone reboots pull the battery and put it back in. Boot into recovery and run fix permissions. Then reboot.
so what will this do again? Is this for a kernel different than the kj6 one?
If you are unsure of what it is for then dont attempt the steps.
Do some more reading.

[Q] Kernel for CM10

Dear XDA-Forum,
I am very glad to have CM10 on my phone, but there is one thing that somehwo would make the ROM to my favorite one:
Is there any kernel that supports smartassv2 and can overclock to at least 1,2GHZ?
I somehow fell in love with the smoothness of smartassv2 (personal opinion), but I didn't find the kernel to flash...

[Q] changing kernels?

I've looked into many threads, but have still not been able to find a definitive answer: when changing kernels (going for example from ElementalX to Franco or Purify) should I do a dirty re-flash of the rom and then flash the new kernel or will just a flash of the new kernel be enough?
I know it's been asked before, but I can't seem to find a clear answer.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
So (just to make sure I have it correct) right now I am running Purity + Purify. If I want to switch to a Purity + Franco setup, I need to dirty flash Purity rom (in which case it brings the kernel back to the standard Purity kernel) and then Franco kernel after that, right?
Do I need to wipe cache or anything else?
Thanks again for all the help

You're right. To prevent any issue it's better to follow this rule regardless of the custom kernel. We need to dirty flash our current rom due to modifications done by the kernel on the ramdisk.
You never need to wipe before flashing a kernel.

Flash the stock boot.img and system.img and then flash the kernel you want to change to..
I have also tried just flashing the stock boot.img and then the custom kernel.. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So I would reccomend flashing both! (boot and system)
also check to see if the original kernel left any init.d files, some kernels do. you would want to delete them, as those could, probably would, not play well with your next kernel.

does your advice still applies if someone flashed both stock system.img and stock boot.img?
if it is where that file will be located?

yes. they arent located in either of those locations, so my advice applies, and is the only reason why i posted this. they are located in /etc/init.d/. you either dont have that location (best option), have it but an empty folder, or have an init.d folder with files in it. if there are files there, delete them.
Flashing a system.img will overwrite init.d scripts. /etc is a symbolic link to /system/etc so when you replace /system/etc with whatever is in a ROM.zip or a system.img, these changes apply to /etc too.
If you look in any ROM.zip or kernel.zip, they all flash their scripts to /system/etc/init.d
