[Q] ROM,MOD,Kernal - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

sorry, i am not familiar with linux and also android development.
i want to ask, what is mod and how to make relationship among mod, ROM, kernel.
i saw some developer making custom ROM, some change kernel, some develop mod...
i dun know how to differentiate all those.
if i flash a new ROM, will it overwrite mod and kernal also?
for example, if i got CWM on my phone, and i flash an other ROM, will that CWM still there ?

Yes. It'll overwrite everything...

any expert wanna share their knowledge about MOD, ROM, and Kernal?

Google is expert for every your question... don't hatistate to ask him...

[Q] Revolution kitchen app on other roms

Is it possible to use it on other roms? If not, where can I find the packages that it links to? Thanks in advance
I think it will work But the important thing is that you must have same baseband as Kitchen app repository server like xxkh3 or xxki3 etc.
it wont work as its exclusive to that rom now....i have tried and it doesnt...sorry
yea won't work, they integrated it specifically for their rom

Yes! Exactly!!
But I've tested the previous version to use in other roms and it worked!
Just want you to know
In fairness to Leomar if i were him i wouldn't make it available for just any ROM given he has spent the time to develop and maintain it, anyway CheckRom Revolution is the best there is at present.

[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

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 exactly that i try to say but what exactly mean dpi? I didn't know about it anyway and about clearing is there a thread about step to step for it? Thanks!

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.

[Want to Share][Xperia S] My kernel : KamseupayV11

Because I'm not planning to develop kernel in XDA, I just want to share my kernel to any Xperia S that may want to test it...
Here is the infos about the kernel :
http://www.kaskus.co.id/showpost.php?p=730472163&postcount=4003
Here is the download link for the kernel :
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gvdnocvcm7k4kic
Here is the download modules for fix WIFI, backlight, etc because of in compatible module version
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?28zfi5b2icqniye
I recommend to test the kernel for 1 day, after you satisfied, backup current module in /system/lib/modules, and flash the new modules using CWM.
Post any problem/screenshoot here..
thxyou
thxyou
i'm already prepare the next version, going to test it for 1 week,,, really cool...
A little update to KAMSEUPAY kernel user..., enjoy..

Nice to see Indonesian developer on XDA.
Why dont you just post the thread under Development subforum since many would see your work there. There are not many developments going on for Xperia S, it would be really nice to see one more developer as it may encourage other developers to come and show their skills.

Hi, I don't plan to put any development in XDA, I just want to share my current work, especially for local forum.. just posting here, incase someone want to test it..
Hi, does this kernel come with autorooting feature and CWM recovery?
Would be very useful if you could add into next version becos I really like your kernel. But since there's no root, I use advanced ics kernel for the time being.

No the point of putting this in development is that a lot more people could download, test and report feedback on your work this seems like a decent kernel aswell, it'd be worth seeing what other devs have to say about it

i don't know about autorooting, because it should be autoroot.sh(at least i saw it on script, but, because i'm using advanced kernel version before flashing this kernel, so I don't know if autoot.sh execute properly

thanks but i just want to keep it in general section..., because i'm not developing in xda, i think, it is not nice to put something in development section while you can't find something that "developed" in those area. i mean, for me, i just patch, fix some little error, nothing else, i haven't actually "develope" kernel(making new feature), i just backport some high kernel version into this kernel, and i don't think that count as "develope"

The newer kernel version has much better battery life compared to 3.0.8, I can confirm that your kernel's root did not execute properly on ICS, 6.1.A.1.58
Tested out apps that require root like titanium backup and adaway, all returned messages saying no root access.
So, I temporarily use the advanced stock ics kernel.
Wow keren nih ada Orang Indo

Omega 100% stable and the developer indie doesn't stop. Always updated to the latest firmware. Also a lot of theme support on the thread. Check out motomoto theme its a beauty.

Sure? Because I Think what android eclair,froyo,ics,ebean all of them are ROMS And things such cyanogen, criskelo ,darkys etc are MODS for the android ROMS!... and im NOT asking for the BEST "rom".. simply i am asking for suggestions .. i readed so much stu**d questions here and i think mine is not so bad... thanks for read anyway

eclair, froyo, ics, etc are versions.
cm, darky, criskelo, omega are all roms that are modded. mods on the other hand are specific changes that do not include the whole rom with it. it depends on having a rom as a base to install onto.
stuff like removing charging notifications or add camera functionality are mods. the ability to add any app to multi Window is a mod, but cm, darky, omega etc are ROMs. they're completely independant and does not require a flashing of another rom as a base.
and yes, you are asking for what the best rom is. the fact is, you'll have to just try different roms and see which one suites your need. check the all in one sticky thread for a link to another thread that categorizes roms based on what concept of android they're going for (stock, aosp, aokp, sense, etc etc).
all of these roms are very well documented and they explain what their rom was built for.
