Hi, Chaos kernel is not compatible with stock rom. Every kernel that says CAF, is meant for CM and related roms.
Choose a kernel based on AOSP/STOCK, like franco, faux123 etc...
have this list as reference, http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...dex-google-nexus-5-roms-kernels-mods-t2475401

CAF kernels are not compatible with the stock ROM.

[KERNEL][BML] BlastOff - v2.5 - Q&A Thread

I just posted the new BlastOff BML kernel here.
This is the place to ask questions.
Can we get an ETA on when this kernel will land on Mars?

This kernel is for BML roms. Wifi calling works on those roms because they are stock based.
I'm new to this phone and not sure what bml is or what its used for and is this kernel for ics based roms

New to this phone or not. Search is the best feature on XDA.
If it's not BML, it's MTD. Search the Q&A forum for MTD. There you will find a thread by eollie which quotes the epicmtd thread and a post of mine... here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699506
(yes, I have answered this question a billion times. Why, because no one searches.)
Edit: No, this will not work with MTD roms, like CM7, CM9, AOKP, SlimICS, etc... This will work with Valhalla, Valhalla Black, Unnamed, Stock UVKJ6 based roms.

Yes read op.
I first want to than you for your support on a "update for a BML kernel".
i think it belongs in dev but still don't have enough posts to post.
I ran into a few issues with no log cat because of hardware freeze.
1st Tegrak will not load module for custom tweaks. Hardware failure vibrates indefinitely, and battery pull needed. works fine if you don't try and tweak. running 1.4 GHz without optimization works fine but can't underclock because of issue. the screen freezes and becomes pixilated.
restoring from nano backup finishes but stays at gs4g boot screen for t mobile
nano restore might be user error. i just factory reset and restored from there using the one click. restoring nano after one clicking resulted in same boot screen freeze as original
im sorry i don't have log cats but i hope i can provide further information if requested.
running latest Valhalla Black Edition with 1.3 OC undervolted
created backup with VB kernel recovery
booted fine with first flash of kernel running at 1.4
tried tegrak to underclock 1.4 and hardware froze with pixilation of screen in very light but noticable amount
reboot
wifi fix didn't work with flashing with cwm, suceeded with flash just no end result
tried to recover using cwm recovery with modded kernel caused boot freeze
one clicked back with no problems
i love this forum and want to try and provide feedback when possible, thank you for all you have accomplished over the years and i can't wait to see the perfect kernel and modem for ics. FB i love the AOKP. Unicorn Power!!! thank you all for all of your awesome work.

Tegrak will not work. This kernel is already OC/UV. You just need setcpu or rom toolbox to set the cpu speed.

I'm just saying. Everything you type is one long run-on sentence.
Notice how I break mine up.
It makes what you are saying easier to convey to others.
Don't worry. I was tired and grumpy
So what we learned:
Type like you're writing a letter
Don't use nano backup
Download alogcat/alogrec
Wiping cache and dalvik is fine, don't always need to wipe data, but sometimes you do.
I get grumpy sometimes too

Is this the kind of battery life we can expect for the mtd version of this kernel and/or the aries kernel port? I noticed this does have some things from aries (per Github History). The battery life with this kernel is epic, better than anything else I've used.
Thanks,
David
We don't know what kind of battery life you will expect from the ICS kernel because no one has tested the ICS kernel because bryan hasn't finished creating it yet. If and when it's released you'll get to see what kind of battery life you get with the way you use your own phone.

There is a reason for calling this kernel BlastOff. It's going to go through the galaxy of snacks Google has named their Android releases. It's starting off on Planet Gingerbread, BML style.
Eventually, if the stars align, it will end up reincarnated as MTD on Planet Gingerbread.
After reincarnation, it will head towards planet ICS... and on and on...
For now, we are still packing the ship with goodies. OC/UV, governers, I/O schedulers, mmc changes, and bcm4329 have already been packed. But I'm still adding more!
So for the medium term, this kernel will stay BML. You may see me experiment with MTD, but I would stay away from that stuff and stick with the BML kernel for now.
Enjoy my naming scheme.

No need for that kind of reply, I was simply asking a question. From what I can tell, this does use bits and pieces from Aries and that's what prompted the question. I didn't ask for an eta or anything to that affect. I also know that battery life is dependent on usage, but I know for a fact that on gingerbread the standby time is leaps and bounds better than what we have for ics (currently) (for most users) . It's even been mentioned that the kernel for ics had some battery draining issues by Bryan himself.

That "kind of reply" was merited. Like I said in that post, we're not gonna know how the battery will be until the kernel gets created and tested. I can give you a prediction and tell you that it'll last you 10 days with heavy usage but I may be wrong.
We won't know until we test it.
BTW, unnamed - bhundven edition has been posted to the teamacid github.
I'm not making an official zip yet, as we have some bugs still to work out, but if you want a rom to play around with the new kernel, git clone it and run the mkzip.sh.
Let me know what you think, if you feel so daring
(again, disclaimer, I'm not responsible for messing your phone up, thats your problem. This rom has been tested and won't brick you, unless you do something stupid. This rom will not work with any other kernel, for now.)

Returning to Stock

Buggy? Battery hungry ? You were in what ROM? All custom ROMs at almost 100% bugs free(especially CM10 and CM10/AOKP based). Weird ...
Dont have the time to setup the computer for Fastboot, couldnt get it working with Win7 last time out either.

Tried all sorts, Oxygen, NSCollab, early ICS roms (awful), others i cant remember. Best combo i had was stock 2.3.6/7 with a Kernel i think. I found that invariably they become less stable the longer you have them installed. Of course if you change rom a lot you'll never notice.
I'm with you, running stock 4.1.2 since it came out, only with custom kernel for BLN, highbigmem and voodoo sound and don't regret it a bit. A lot of free time and no need to update all the time;P

How did you root and unlock your phone then? Only way to do it needs an actual working connection with fasboot/adb. Even the 1 click crap uses that.
I guess nothing stops you from flashing 4.0.3 then going the upgrade route, but I don't see that as a very efficient nor a clean way to do it.

OMG, how can you stay with ONE ROM more than one week . No seriously, there is 2 ROMs that they're perfectly stable and full of features: CM10 and ParanaoidAndroid. I no longer look to other ROMs. And ParanoidAndroid is in my device more than 2 weeks

It would be hard to call CM10 something related to stable (same for any CM10 base ROM). Even they don't call it that. That's why the nightly tag is for.

Other than "stable" "nightly" "RC" WORDS, CM10 is completely STABLE(at 99%). And i know what "stable" word means. Source: own experience .

You'll see a lot of people still have complaints regarding functions that get broken with each version, only to come back working after the next one. It's silly to assume CM team doesn't know **** about development and simply tag "nightly", "RC" and "stable" for the sake of it. Please don't bring up made up stability percentages into the lot.
You can glance at the nightly changelogs yourself to see NPEs getting corrected in relatively core apps nearly every week. Not just for crespo too, but regarding CM10 as a whole.
I'll give you that though, on a day to day basis, the rom is very usable. But good luck getting a 1000 hours uptime without the thing becoming sluggish.

[Q] Camera Problem w CM 10.1

Hey Guys -
I'm a little new to the forum, I've usually just had a friend who is more savvy with this stuff help me out. He refers to this site always so, instead of bothering him, I wanted to see if I could solve this problem myself.
I just flashed my ROM to CM 10.1 (the stable one found on their site) last night, and it works fine but I just noticed that the camera will not connect, no matter what app I'm in (camera, instagram, etc.).
Does anyone know of any way to fix this? I've been trying to research before posting on here, I saw someone say something about kernels, leankernel and ktoonsez's kernel? Again, I'm really new to this so I didn't quite understand what I needed to do.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Flash the I535VRBMB1 modem/radio from this thread..
It's a kernel issue from what I can tell. The above radio/modem reverts back to the previous modem/radio.
Ktoonz's kernel will fix the camera issue, but it will break your audio playback via Pandora. At least on mine (CM 10.1.0; KT747 6/26), it will only play in mono.

Interesting.
I switched from KT 6/26 to CM10.1.0 Stable stock kernel and audio worked fine. I figured it was KT 6/26's fault.
I should clarify: my issue is specifically with Pandora. The stock music app works fine.
Thanks guys for the quick responses! I'm looking for the kernel you're talking about on that other thread, but, and I realized I actually don't know how to specifically flash a kernel?
I've used Odin and everything before, under the instruction of my friend I referenced before, so I know my way around it, I just don't quite remember the steps. I just want to verify...the kernel file would be a .tar, and you would flash it with Odin PDA?
I'm sure there's steps I'm missing.
Got the file, last question (besides me asking the process of how to flash a kernel):
do I MD5 check the kernel file? I keep seeing that brought up in other threads
luckily, I just found that I can flash the kernel file via TWRP, so that's easier than Odin (Odin just scares me for some reason)
Ok all, I flashed that kernel. Phone is working fine. (I was nervous as hell before I told TWRP to flash the kernel)
But the camera is still not working....any other suggestions?

Flash this file the same way you flashed the kernel and update to the latest baseband. If that doesn't work, try reflashing the kernel after.

That seems to be the same file (from the same site) I downloaded and just flashed before. Is it different in some way?
Also, how do I go about upgrading my baseband?
thank!
The situation is a little confused right now.
The stable. CM10.1 release requires MB1 modem, the latest nightlies work with MF1. There is no requirement to change kernels, unless you really really want the stable release AND the mf1 modem.
If you read the first post in the official cm thread in QA or original development you'll see this along with links to the modem files.
I REALLY appreciate the help and opinions so far guys.
I'm hoping I've laid out everything I'm doing in a clear manner so you can follow along with what I'm doing.
After reading some of the replies, I think that I've done exactly what you all are saying, which is flashing that VRBMF1 kernel.
Unfortunately, the camera is still not working. Any suggestions?

MF1 is a modem not a kernel.
And you have two choices
1: stable 10.1.0 with MB1
2: latest nightlies with MF1
Other combinations won't work. If you have any more questions quote me in your post and I'll get an email notification.
Thanks
It worked! That MB1 modem flash got the camera working properly. Hopefully nothing else stopped working, but if it did, I'll be back here with the quickness haha.
Thank you guys all so much, I'm glad I decided to try and figure this out on this messageboard, you guys were most helpful!

My experience
I find that keeping all three of the modem AIO packages (MB1, MD3, MF1) in a folder on the phone or external sdcard can be helpful when switching ROMs to ensure you can flash whichever one works best. Also, sometimes installing the wrong gapps package can break certain things like the camera which cause them to crash or other normal functions of your phone. And so, I also keep my roms in their own folders with the appropriate gapps version for that particular ROM. You can check to see which versions of each you have in 'Settings > About Phone" If you already knew all of this I apologize. Just thought it could be helpful.

Looking for a 3.0 kernel based ROM

I've been having issues with all sound dropping out on various ROMs and I don't recall this happening on any pre-3.4 kernel based ROMs.
All the download links in the threads for 4.2.2 ROMs are now dead so I was wondering if anyone has an old file kicking around? Or know where I could find one? My hard drive died a while back and it seems everything since then has been 3.4 based so I no longer have any 3.0 ROMs on my computer that I can try myself.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've been having issues with all sound dropping out on various ROMs and I don't recall this happening on any pre-3.4 kernel based ROMs.
All the download links in the threads for 4.2.2 ROMs are now dead so I was wondering if anyone has an old file kicking around? Or know where I could find one? My hard drive died a while back and it seems everything since then has been 3.4 based so I no longer have any 3.0 ROMs on my computer that I can try myself.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Haha, yeah, I know. But when your phone has no sound whatsoever, it ceases to be useful. Can't remember that happenign to me on 3.0 so I figured I'd check it out.
Also, not too sure what the big deal is with 3.4. When it first came out, there was the wake lag, then that was fixed but bootloops became an issue. The 3.0 ROMs were more reliable for me in general, just not as up to date.
EDIT: Your first post ever was to tell me that? Haha
Here you go:
Liquid Smooth v2.4
Android 4.2.2
Gapps included
Twisted IV kernel included

An old favourite and one of the best ROM's for this phone. I have Twisted V & VI as well, just let me know if you need them.

If this works you'll be my bestest friend, haha. I didn't think this was going to happen. Thanks so much.
Are V and VI 3.0 based?
THANK YOU
Ok so it sort of works.
No sound issues so far but I keep getting random soft reboots and apps constantly closing (no error or pop up), Cleared caches in recovery. Anything special I'm supposed to do after flashing this? I'm so close to having a working phone again, this ROM seems likes my best bet...but now it's giving me other issues.
Thank you for your time.
Try changing skin on the phone and then change it back also for soft reboots what works for me is uninstallin kernel Turner and reinstalling and applying settings again

Yeah, according to his thread all the Twisted kernel's were based on 3.0.

I can't really remember but I don't think there was any special instructions to install Liquid Smooth. Check the thread:

You might want to try this ROM as well: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_VcoEHi3OfvSnh3djJTTjMtdHM/edit?usp=sharing
No thread for it because it had to be taken down, but ran as well as Liquid did. Not sure if Gapps are included.
rmbq still has some v3.0 kernel's for download here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=3224
Try bubba Vn5 if you're still having problems.

I love this community. Not going to have the chance to mess with this until tomorrow probably, but I will post and let you know how it all goes. Really appreciate the help.
EDIT: I read through that thread yesterday and it doesn't seem like there's anything special I need to do, so hopefully some of these other suggestions work. Once I flash it again I'll try changing the governor (if I can make it that far without rebooting, haha). If that doesn't work, you've given me lots to work with. Thanks.
I have a blackbean build with the 3.0 kernel.

OK, been busy all weekend so here's my findings:
I was able to get Liquid Smooth working using the Bubba Vn5 kernel. That was the first step.
Then I had to give it time and see if my audio dropped - and it did. So the 3.4 kernel doesn't seem to be the issue.
So I ran a logcat and while not completely versed in what to look for, I did find some audio errors relating to the audiopolicy manager, and tone generator and soundpool. Did a bit of searching and seems it could have to do with my firmware, which, of course, was also switched when I changed to the 3.4 kernel. I'm going to try reflashing 2.15 and maybe upgrade to 2.16 if that doesn't work. If neither work, I'll have to see about downgrading, but since I don't have a lower flashable zip, I'll have to mess around with an RUU so hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Thanks to everyone. At the very least, you're helping me eliminate possible causes.

If I can get my sound back I'll probably be sticking with a 3.0 based rom as at the very least I'm not constantly plagued by bootloops so I'll gladly take your copy of blackbean if you don't mind. Just another option for me to flash
p.s: my logcat should be attached. If anyone has experience with reading them, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take a look and see if anything stands out. Thanks again to everybody.
Ok, so I managed to extract the ruu using a script and flashed the rom.zip via fastboot. I am now on hboot 1.13, running LS v2.4 with bubba vn5 (3.0 kernel) and am still without sound. Logcat shows the same errors as the one I posted above (not sure exactly what they mean, but they are audio related from what I can tell.
Since I have ruled out everything I can think of on the software side, could this possible be a hardware issue?

Just here dude and looking at logcat to me look like you got no drivers or no sound hardware, not like that's any use to you.

Thanks, based on my searches, it seemed like every older ROM had dead links.
No drivers or sound hardware, huh? So something isn't right, haha. I've had sound at points so I assume there must be something up with how the software interacts with the hardware or my hardware isn't stable and works only from time to time.
Not what I wanted to hear but what can ya do? I've posted this in the Q and A forum as well, see if I can get some more info. Thanks though.

Got it downloaded
I've tried the newer, 4.2.2 Sense ROMs and while not entirely sure (I wasn't really looking for the sound issue at the time) I recall it happening on them, too.
But I'm going to try the old ViperOneS 4.1.2 ROM because I know that I had no issues at all back when I was using that. If it's still present, I'm going to assume it's a hardware fault and I'll have to try and unroot, s-on, go back to stock, achange my CID and all that crap and see if I can't get it replaced.
Thanks for your help.

If you still have issue then ya send it back but remember to use an RUU before S-On.

Yeah, I'm too anal to not read things 50 times before attempting it so I'll check out some guides and everything before I try to go back to stock.

Using a J700/F/H/M ROM on a J700T?

Would a ROM built for a J700F/H/M be compatible with a J700T? They have the same CPU and GPU. The only difference I notice is the supported network technologies, but I may of overlooked other differences.
If not completely compatible without modification, what would need to be changed?
I'm guessing I could just flash and see what happens, but I don't have time right now to deal with a bricked phone if it does go wrong.
Thanks.

Only some ROM's can be flashed and all features don't transfer. The wifi setup is different and so is the camera. The kernel codes are different as well so kernel specific ROM'S won't flash either.
Would it be easy to fix the wifi and such? I don't have much experience with ROM porting, and I was hoping that this device would be the one that I can finally get some experience, because you would think it would be pretty easy to convert J700F/H/M ROMS to J700T ROMS.

I would imagine it would be pretty easy to port over some of the ROM's, I'm currently running Alloosh's N7 V3, but without digging through the kernel codes for each ROM it's hard to say. You would have to set up your build environment and identify the differences and change them, trust me it's a long sometimes pain staking process ha. It's not as hard as building a different OS from source or porting over other software, but it will still take some time.
I've gotten the camera to finally work and wifi and Hotspot are running fine too, but there's still issues I'm looking into. Just start doing some research and see what you're comfortable with diving into.

Do you know where I can find the stock kernel file for the J700T? Ive had no luck finding it myself.

You can make a backup of your current kernel using apps like flashify...etc

I got the pixel experience rom to boot on my j700t with messi2050's v1 kernel. Rebooted every 2-10 minutes. It looked great i wish i could use it for my daily runner. I just reflashed pk6. Which rom to try this with next.

I'm using Messi's kernel on the Note 7 ROM by Allosh.
I use his kernel on almost every flash I do, dudes awesome for porting it for the T.
Too bad he removed all his downloads though. In the process of making my own SE permissive kernel for the J700t.
Just busy with life currently.
