[Q] which the best kernel for DCS .64b - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Sergei !
I use DSC from beginning. It is the best ROM.
I just wt to ask
Until now I already update .64b. I have no problem with all troubles such as wifi,reboot,camera...
Which kernel I should install? the original with upd0.64b or DSC_teamXX or GXkernel...
Bz i got confused about many of kernel
I need stability and long life battery for normal using.
Anyway thank a lot for the DSC rom from yr team
Appreciated that
Larry

For 0.64b I used the kernel that was provided. Prior to that I used GKernel 1.5, since I never had any luck with using the GXKernels on my device.

Good day to you!
Stable kernel is always included in our ROM.
We provide and test different kernels, but only tested and stable version goes into release.

First of all.....
Like many of us, we just wanted a solid/stable custom ROM and I couldn't be more grateful for the fine work Greg and _n0p_ are/have been doing.
I love DSC above the rest, but I too have the Wifi freezes, and have them with nearly all GB-based ROMs.
However, when I first went to GB from DJ_Steve, I didn't have Wifi issues. Unfortunately, everything else went wrong, so I searched for a better ROM. Ultimately, I installed Longhorn, with the BB and kernal. At that point, I started seeing Wifi troubles. After that point, every GB-based ROM gave me wifi freezes.
I've been following and installing the DSC updates as you release them, and each time, the freezes come back.
Each time, I go back and re-flash the GXkernal1.0, and all seems right. I may get a freeze on that kernal at some point, but I haven't had one yet. The other kernal updates gave me freezes within a few hours of installation.
Sorry for the tome, but suffice it to say, IMHO, GXkernal1.0 has been the stablest kernal for me.

Thank you. You gave a new idea.

Hi Sergei,
Good news!
I am using DSC0.64b+kernel 2.6.35-14-DSC-Team-Phoenix+ from yesterday until now. So far it is fantastic. I have no FC, no reboot, no prbl with wifi...
I were supprised why many people get wifi prbl.
Anyway thank u and yr team for DSC.

Yes, I have the DSC-Team-Phoenix kernal in right now. Installed this morning, got a wifi freeze a couple hours later, but battery too low to flash back to GXKernal1.0. So far so good on Phoenix. I'll reflash GXKernal1.0 later when/if I get another wifi freeze.
But yes, got wifi freeze on Phoenix too.

Hi _n0p_,
I saw in yr build.prop has 1 line:
#wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120 instead of wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120
might be it cause of wifi problem?
When I change that line, i have no problem at all with all yr DSC roms.
Sorry if that is wrong.

What 2.1 to choose

I have read alot of the topics almost all the last 2 months. I have thought about flashing my htc hero but I don't know which roms are the most functional with the less bugs.
I read that some roms have problem with camera where it gets green, then some cannot connect to wifi others can and same with 3G and H. Then apps2SD (what is this btw. is it so the phone can see the SD card?) and other issues have been said. Then theres the battery problem which I read, on my normally use it lasts for between 2-4 days depending on the heavy use of the phone.
Its very confusin to me with all these option and allot of custom roms from different leaks or phones and different people making them. I hope some one can clear me up a little as I know little in this area and I have tested none custom rom yet, I still run the 1.5 stock rom.
I guess if I want to flash the rom I need to follow the guide at
"#Complete Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom & Newbie FaQ#"
(cannot post links yet as my post count is low which is fair =) )
thank you in advance
APPS2SD lets you install apps to your SD-Card (if it's been partitioned properly), and is there because of the very limited amount of memory available on the phone for installing apps.
This link will give you a list of the ROMs available for the Hero
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GSM Hero ROMs
-Look for a recent ROM: these usually have the most features/fixes
-Check out the known issues/bugs: If you can live with those issues until/if they're fixed, then flash that ROM.
-Look at screenshots (if the way it looks matters to you)
-Root your phone: (remember which is at your own risk, you could possibly brick your phone)
-Flash the ROM you chose, unless the issues worry you so much in which case wait for the official release in June.
Everyone has their own preference as to which ROM they choose to flash to their phone. If you like the way a certain ROM looks then flash that one. It's all about trying out different ROMs.
Regards
I have tested most of the roms in this forum and i would say like this.
All roms has its + and - but ...
If you like rosie (stock HTC) Villain 5.4 or SlideVillain 1.01 is the best, BeHero is also pretty god
If you like non rosie i would go for ahero 0.8 VanillaEclair 1.3 is god roms
Hope that helps
fwiw im currently using sushi rom and its pretty fast and efficient. once i get JIT working ill be quite the happy camper.
edit: although in retrospect its based off of fresh 2.0d so i guess its not a 2.1 rom :-/
Thread moved to QnA, not dev related.
I have followed the debate and read some of the many threads on the sub setion. But as I see it there are still issue and FC's with all roms even the ones using the official Taiwan build.
Is there any rom of now that is free of any issue so no FC and everything works?
If none 2.1 is available without any issue's, are there any earlier builds which are fully stable with everything working, faster and stable than the stock rom? Most important is that downloaded apps from market works, facebook sync, calender, camera, peoples, sms, album+rotation etc. Any of the official 2.1 out which have everything function?
Thanks

[Q] [HELP] Which ROM should I use?

Hi All,
I purchased an X10 Mini Pro yesterday and I rooted last night.
I am now looking for the most stable ROM to put on my phone, I just don't know which one has had more development put into it.
Is it possible to use 'X10 Mini' ROMs on the X10 Mini Pro?
Appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction into which ROM I should put on my phone in terms of stability and functionality. Many thanks!
You can not use the rom from the mini for the mini pro...
the only advice is try them. backup your present rom first and then flash one of the few. try it for a couple of days and flash another.
you will find the rom that suits you most this way.
I'm using the Floyo rom and happy with it.
as all roms they are still under developement. things are not working random reboots may occur.
as said in other forums. there is no best rom. all roms are made to personal taste of the developer and that might you like more or less depending the rom. just try the roms available as said before. this is the only way.
read the threads about the roms they will give you all the info you will need.
@wilcovh
Okay thanks for getting back to me m8...
the most stabile and functional rom is the stock rom at this moment.
sorry guys, but you know it's like that. custom roms still need some bugfixes, but the progress is very promising.
hi,
you want a good and stable custom room?
well the best for now is the Foyo rom. it is almost bug free...(only 2 or 3 bug know bugs) and it have some themes options....
see the topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961783
Floyo v3.4 reboots often, but I couldn't find any other bugs. If you can (I can) tolerate these reboots, I think this is the best choice.
Temes
i cant boot to xrecovery after installed v3.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951274
and instal xRecovery.
But xRecovery should be working after installed v3.4
Maybe you did something wrong.
There's no random reboot on mine using CM6 3.4, try to reflash your phone and then install 3.4, I didn't see any bugs imho. Instead complaining about the bugs for each rom, try to help the dev by supporting they work and help them find a solution.
Try 3.4 for daily basis it's quite stable. CM7 V5 is still a little bit buggy in some vital section.

[Q] CM7 confused in folio

hello all, I have some time here reading and learning about my folio and android, first thank you for completing the product toshiba left unfinished.
First thing I did when I get my tablet was installed foliomod 1.4, and works really nice and smooth. But CM7 installs on my phone with gingerbread and I loved it. I decided to install it on the tablet, but the thread about CM7 a little confusing and I want some things clarified.
As I have seen there are several compilations of the mod. Are them regularly updated?
Is not there a post with a compilation of all variants of CM7 updated to the latest download?
What is needed to get official suportt by CM?
sorry about my english and thanks.
see this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933989
Lol, I had read all the thead. I try with the last compilation by mblaster(10-jun-2011), i get a lot of crash and freezes so i try replace boot.img with the oc kelnel posted by mblaster some time ago. Now i get random freezes but it's usable.
My first impresion is good, fast and smooth. I need some time to test, but i love this port.

[Q] Stock rom instability

Good morning everyone
Seems to be that my GSII has serious issues running his stock rom (continuous reboots, not-working 3g etc.). I tried several factory resets, but nothing worked 100% . CM fixes some of my problems, but the only full-working custom rom is MIUI, that seems to be stable and very neat. Despite that I still prefer the custom rom (yes I'm probably insane), or a more traditional one like CM and I really would like to understand what kind of problems can generate such a massive amount of errors and reboots.
Could be a hardware problem? MIUI works fine, I can't explain why I still got problems with other ROMs.
Sorry for my bad English, thanks in advance
Without telling us the version of the stock rom you are using, we can never give you any answers.
I'm currently using
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2 Kernel
Gingerbread.xwkj3 Build
That's not the original stock ROM, just one I found (here on xda I guess...)
Is there some kind of hardware-check I can run by myself, just for exclude manifacturing defects?
if you want to check to exclude hardware defects, u could go to the dialer and press *#0*# .. it will give u a list of tests which allows u to pinpoint any hardware defects ( if it exists) .... but if the problem is with the 3g, you could reflash your modem..
Initial problems were strictly connected with 3g's use, after a few hours of use i've noticed slowdowns using sms, then it started crashing and random rebooting. That's the same reason why I initially switched from original ROM to CM. I mean, I know that Samsung's ROM is not the best one at all, but I can't figure why it's so instable on my device.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As that the oldest stock rom try a newer one .

Updating: now my GSII works with latest stable Cyanogen, except for the 3g that's still not working. Should I reflash modem, as suggested by roophz?
That old kernel is known to cause random reboots.
Update to a newer stock rom.

Update 2: I switched from the old stock rom to the latest cyanogen stable version, then to a newer stock rom and then back to MIUI again. Still no life signals from 3g.
How is that possible?

Dead links to old ROMs,or alternative ROMs suggestions

Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

ICS PASSION.
Stable fast GPS works and its 4.0.3

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...
