just a quick question about kernals... - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

---> MODS CAN DELETE OR MOVE THIS POST NOW <--- didnt realize what section i was in till after i posted =/
hey guys, well like above said, i jus have a simple question that seems weird.. i mind you that im new to the vibrant, im coming from the nexus 1..
so when i flash roms, (which i do regularly lol) and the op says the rom comes with a custom kernel and i go to "About phone" the kernel name didnt change (at a glance). are the numbers diff..?
--> on the nexus 1 the name of the kernel was the name on the kernel version.. (not numbers)
is the kernel that comes with the rom installed but it doesnt show up on the kernel version?
Example: my kernel version right now is 2.6.32.9.. but when i flash a rom that comes with its' custom kernel, those numbers dont change.. if they do, im not paying close attention (lol) but like i said, i just glance at it because im used to the kernel version changing to whatever the custom kernel is named... if that makes sense...

It will not show that you're running a custom kernel. So that's normal.

BLN mod kernel?

Can someone tell me if the kernel mod BLN (backlightnotifications) work also on the S2?
From what I've read we need a proper modified kernel to get the BLN Mod working on the SGS2. Somebody asked for a working BLN Mod in the original SGS1 section. Haven't seen anything that we could test though...
Yes I would like to see this (and donate) also.
Hi Guys,
Is there any update on this?
Really would like this to get BLN turned on with our SG2. Keep missing calls or messages when I leave the phone in another room.
Maybe chainfire can help with this and include it in the CF-ROOT kernels. I'm not into coding and ROM/Kernel building myself, but for those who are interested in finding out how to do this, here are some sources I found. Apparently, the mod is available for Gingerbread too:
https://github.com/neldar/backlightnotification/tree/master/kernel_patches
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813389
Hopefully someone could make head or tails with it. Maybe I can pm chainfire and make a request.
Cheers
Same, a quick question though (a newbie one no doubt), would CM7 support this when it comes out?

[Q] How to indentify all the info my phone?

Hi everyone
I tried to search forum but i dunno if there exits already this thread but i will explain here my details
I have samsung galaxy s2 at&t sgh-i777 cyanogen mod 7
The problem is when i receiv as gift from my father (he did buy at china) the phone wasnt original stock but prolly the china did flash cm7 and some kernel and govern (i think maybe is active for now ondemand if i can understand).
But i cant know which kernel is current using? how i can to see this info?
Searching forum many use AOKP, Fluxxi, Shostock and so on but my phone how i could know which one is using this kernel at moment? is there an app that i can see all system there? I tried using with Z device test but the information android OS is not enough.
I have to flash cm9 soon but first i must know all the info before to start this.
For modems is easy to see i have to tap on info about device that ok...but i need a full information so will help me a lot.
Thank for support
Ummmm.... How about go to settings, scroll down and touch "about phone" then look under "Kernel version"

Ya thought that but is just number not name kernel if that help lol
How i would figured it?
kernel current anyway is 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#1
If was a kernel for CM7 ok but using Fluxxi for example what is then? is based still cyanogen? or Fluxxi is just a name rom?
This give me a bit confuse..
I saw some topic talking about kernel for siyah but i still dont understand if was for cmw or is just a kernel different way to work with this phone.
For this i need understand what he did chinese update my phone and what current kernel..
EDIT= i found on site for AT&T http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2ATT/kernels
So this mean there are only 3 kernels compatible on this SGH-I777 isnt?
If that so then i have to know which one of this 3 kernels is current on my phone hmmm someone could give me a hint please?
you are using the kernel that COMES PACKAGED WITH CM7
i dont know why you would go to some other website looking for info, when all you have to do is open up the dev section here and READ.
there are more than 3 kernels available to you, but not many options if you are staying on CM7. if you are staying on CM7, just leave the kernel alone...
you dont really need to know anything more about what you currently have on your phone, because its simple. you are running CM7 with the kernel that was packaged with the rom. any rom you flash will have a kernel with it...
you see kernel names and are confused, i get that, but if you open the dev section and read, you will see threads marked as [KERNEL] or [ROM]....pretty simple to distinguish the 2.
for CWM, with Samsung devices, all custom kernels have cwM packaged in them, you dont need to do anything else but flash the rom after following the instructions in the first post on the rom thread.

Take a snapshot of your "About phones" before and after flashing any custom ROM and you see the difference.
For more kernel detail, bring up "CPU Spy" and take a snapshot before and after, and compare.
"CPU Spy" is an app.

all roms come packaged with a kernel so as long as you have CWM (you do because you are on CM7), then you can flash to CM9 without thinking about changing any kernels.

I didn't understand any of this lol. But are u trying to say an app developer told u that an app isn't compatible with your phone because of a custom ROM? If so that's crazy. And shouldn't affect anything. Normally when an app says its incompatible its because u changed the dpi. If u didn't, I would try clearing the data on Google framework and Google playstore.

Yes. There are threads on both. Do a Google search for clearing google framework and do one for clearing playstore data. If u don't know what DPI is u probably didn't change it. DPI is the resolution size for the display on the phone. (How big or small things look on the phone) Stock DPI is 240 for our phones.

[DISCUSSION][ROM][P500] MIUI.us v4 ICS [2.8.17] by Zackconsole

Any questions, problems, or comments? Leave them here for others to reply! Let's keep the developmental thread clean of stuff that is not related to the development of the ROM (untested features, untested kernels, third party apps, etc; pretty much anything other than what comes stock with the rom). That's why that thread is in the development section. Now with that in mind, post away!
Keep up-to-date with the rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821523
can we make thuis thread cover all 3 miui v4 2.8.3 roms in this device section?
Nope .. its better to ve separate threads.. coz all three are different.. it ll be a kinda mess:thumbdown:
So it's not exactly official? Or is it? I couldn't tell from reading the posts in the dev thread
it's an unofficial build
There will be any problem if i flash the rom with amonra 3.06 instead cwm???

But We From Miui.US might give this little phone official support(might be) but mostly you will get the weekly build for this device if it stable.

Zackconsole, first of all thanks for your great ROM. It's almost stable for me, no problems except of known ones.
Just one thing i've noticed: could you check why vtb24 app(sorry,can't post the link because of posts count) isn't compatible with your ROM? It's compatible with all the ROMs i've tried(Lupo's, hep's, all MIUI ROMs) except of yours. Maybe something wrong with build.prop?
Thanks in advance.
Installed the new version. Did a full wipe,clear dalvik,cache.
Bugs i've encountered:
1. Crash when trying to enable Wi-Fi through settings.
2. Missing strings in settings(the first one leads to VPN and Tethering settings, the second one gives a crash.)
3. As mentioned in the development thread the com.android.media process crashes sometimes.
Thanks for fixing signal strength though:good:
Edit: can't get a log at the moment due to the missing Wi-Fi.

To be able to use and apply themes you have to create a folder @ /data/system/(Create New Folder)theme
Make sure it's lower case however. I think it matters.

This one should be in the future! But until then I would go with Kao Ken X3 or however you spell it.

[Q] SGS2 recommendations & help

Hi guys. I need some help from you all, if you got the time for it.
Last year I decided that I want to have my SGS2 to stock and no root. Back then I was still learning.
After I changed a few roms I kept the stock one and had a casual root on my phone. After the changes I made I ended up with a ROM in which I cant swipe from the last page to the first one I have to swipe back thru all the others. This isn't such a big problem for me but it still mathers and my battery life seems so be quite unstable. I even noticed that when playing a game my phones CPU starts to get really hot(a problem that before didnt occur). Even the games from Rovio dont work on this ROM.
So my request to you guys is if would be kind and link me up with the ROM i need and kernel. Here how my phone was before I set it to stock:
Phone status and information:
Model number: GT-i9100; Android 4.0.3; Baseband version i9100XXLPW; Kernel version 3.0.15 [email protected] #k3-20; Build number IML74K.XXLPW
If you could bring it back to "normal" that'd be great. Main point is the ROM to be nearly the same as the stock one but with that swipe from last to first page. And the rom to ne a [email protected]
Thanks in advance, for giving up your free time for my need!
Just install another launcher...

If you find such ROM link it to me so I may flash it with odin on my phone and then I will choose one of hardcores' speed mods. And that should make my phone look and be like before.

I'm on Neatrom too, and I also can recommend it as it is a great rom. Personally I'm on ICS (XWLPY), and you can install Aroma mods with the battery percentage. In combination with Speedmod it's great, but you can also try JB.

[Q] PhaseKernel 3 on BlackJelly v2

Hi,
I have the BlackJelly V2 installed for a few days and very happy with it overall. Wondering if it's possible to install PhaseKernel JB .3 on this ROM to get a little bit more power (smoother non lag)?
Please let me know if it's advisable.
Thanks
Latest Phase kernel is built to work with padawan only. I think cannot use with blackjelly.

It may not he the wrong place to ask if he can't post in development yet.
However, correct. Phase is for Padawan. Not sure why you need alternate kernal. If its for some lag issues, your post count will not stop you from reading in development. Some minor tweaks can help. If you absolutely have to have alternate, BlownFuse has developed kernel specifically for Black Jelly and is posted there.

I believe that if you backup only the boot.img in recovery on padawan4.
Then restore that boot.img over your already working blackjelly, I believe it includes kernel and then your on blackjelly with phasekernel.
Lemme know how it works.
This should be using twrp backup and restore functions.

SCARIOLA my friend, all my respect to you and your experience. what you have been doing with the multiwindow is fantastic. credit where credit is do. buuuuuuuuuttttt, I know the words, but its still might as well be written in German. IMEXSLASH has a post count of 7. maybe he understand how to do all that, if he does, great. then his brain pan is bigger than mine. (most are)
yours and the knowledge of others are far beyond me. I just bought the ticket and am along for the ride.
Actually Questions dont go in the Development or the General Sections....they go here. Moved, and Thanks.
