Hello there, and yes, i'm a noob
Tried custom roms and was never satisfied with them. Back to stock, and yet missing being a poweruser if you know what i mean! What are the recommended hacks/mods/tweaks that one can apply to takeover stock firmware? I have already rooted, tried changing dpi, playing with cpu governors, etc...but I want something reliable that can really improve the stock firmware. Like, is a kernel going to make it any better? Assumed that I do want to stick with stock (no pun intended) at least until CM9 (if ever).
Thank to you all and keep up the great job, everyone!
install lagfree v3 and turboboostv8.5
root your phone
download system app remover
and uninstall useless apps

Thank you for your reply. As i said, i already rooted. it's a good idea to remove useless apps, i'll totally do this.
And so you say lag free and turboboost can be helpful? Won't they break or mess the perfection of stock rom (irony)? it's not worth flashing a better kernel, maybe with more governors/schedulers or ext4 support?
they will just make your phone better
normally phone has 110mg ram when u do ram delete but when u flash this it goes to 80mg
phone is faster more free ram
maybe try to flash CF root
dunno what else you should do
I have never flashed a kernel before. Which kernel should i pick for safe use, battery life and ext4 compatibility on stock (GB XWKT7)? thx

CF-Root
Even I am on stock XWKT7 and I dont have any problems with CF-Root. The phone is very fast, smooth and battery life is good too

I'm picking CF-Root + EXT4 and FS converter...is this ok?
p.s. i'm reading of b82 and b84...and also BLN and swap support...i'm quite confused...what am i supposed to do? i just can't pick power over safety! i'd like em both, so i'm asking for support on this!
CFRoot-b84 is the latest version of CFroot available for our ace. I am using it and I dont have any problem. My ace is running smooth with it

So here's what i did. Wiped cache/dalvik cache, flashed b84. then wiped again and flashed turboboostv8.5, and then lagfreev3. Then i rebooted and in CWM Manager i flashed b84fix. Then i installed CF-Root-ext4-v1.3-Addon.apk found in Chainfire's thread, but when i launch this app it says that a CF-Root kernel was not detected and therefore ext4manager may not function properly. i ignored this and choose convert to ext4 option nonetheless. phone reboots into recovery, does something very fast and then goes back to normal functioning. seems like nothing happened. what should i do?
P.S: i have understood that i need to use another ext4manager on s5830. i am successfully converting to ext4 fs. thanks
Bcoz u have to install kernel via cwm app not install zip from recovery...
The b84 fixed is a kernel not to flash in recovery but in cwm app...u have option to install kernel there...

I believe both those ROMs come with Ninphetamine 2.0.4 and will likely be updated shortly to 2.0.5. The advantage I find (I am on stock ROM) is that battery life is improved greatly and I can overclock and undervolt using setCPU. I actually underclock and undervolt the majority of the time and get twice the battery life I did running completely stock. For instance 800MHz is plenty for all the HD games I play, I usually run them on 1000MHz when I'm playing them online for less lag (like Order and Chaos).
It's a great kernel that why you'll find it included with a lot of ROMs coming out.
So, by adding 2.0.5 to either ROMs you're just getting the small battery life update which I have yet to see in action. But since 2.0.2 my battery life has been superb.
Enjoy.

Wow. Great answer. Thanks. I'm not really looking to do custom ROM. I just want to flash this kernel with the stock ROM. I'll have to do a lot more research before I can even begin understanding your explanation on underclocking and undervolting. I guess the setCPU comes with this kernel and I can just open it up and adjust values as I wish?
But even before that, I need a little direction before flashing my first kernel via CWM.
Is this how it goes?
- download ZIP file from his thread
- copy .zip to \sdcard (not in any of its subfolders)
- open CWM
- ** now here is where I'm lost. do I either:
- Reboot -> ClockWorkMod
- Reboot -> Download mode
- Kernel -> Flash kernel
and then where do I go from here?
Another question about this kernel
Hello,
I just have a little question about this kernel.
Is it normal that the /system part is mounted as rw when the system start (not set as ro in the init.rc) ?
Thanks

Hi,
I am from India, and using official stock rom v20c 2.3.3. I want to overclock my phone for playing lag free games. Can anyone suggest me how can I do.. what kernel i have to use so that I would not like to face battery drain, overheat, Problem with 3g or wifi, hotspot, tethering issues.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT before flashing custom kernel please tell me how to backup my official kernel.... so that if in case i will go back to the stock one.
Please share the link of custom kernel.
Is there any need to backup phone data such as apps, contacts ,messages, etc.?
one thing I also want to know that what kernel do.. what is its main role..?
Thanks in advance..

IMHO most stable kernel is paolo v5/v6, it overclocks quite good (with external app - e.g. No-frills), no problem with tethering (wifi or usb) or 3g. I think v5 has a little longer battery life.
To backup stock kernel you need to make nandroid backup (that creates backup of everything on your phone and in case of restoring, it will overwrite every change you made on phone since backup). To do that you need recovery (I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery, but there is also other recovery somewhere in our P500 thread).
Recovery is also needed to install new kernel. There is short guide how to do that in kernel thread (you need to install downloaded zip). New kernel doesn't wipe your msgs, contacts or apps if you made no mistakes.
Custom kernels do few things: fixes bugs made by lg, boost phone performance (different kernels give more or less boost), unlocks overclocking, changing governors (controls CPU clock transitions, and therefore battery life and smoothness) and scheduler (i have too little knowledge about android to say, what it should do, but i observed no difference between schedulers), gives you better battery life, fix touch lag (but not multitouch inversion lag bug).
You should try Paolo's and Franco's kernels and choose which one fits you better. Franco's need app to use wifi tethering but is faster than Paolo's.
I experienced more restarts on paolo's v6 and franco's than on v5 (my favourite so far, but there is also new paolo's based kernel that I haven't tested yet).
To install recovery (and kernel) you need root.
All needed instructions and links are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
AND MOST IMPORTANT THING - ALWAYS DO WHAT INSTRUCTIONS SAY AND DO NOT INSTALL KERNEL THAT IS NOT INTENDED FOR YOUR ROM, SO READ AND INSTALL CAREFULLY.

Hey Indian user, don't be afraid of flashing Kernel, you can always change it.. and I went twice to service centre with CWM 5.2.0... OC-480-729... franco's .35 kernel ... and they didn't came to know anything... but if you give them a phone with custom ROM then the'll reject it..
Abhinav i m a newbie to android.. actually i m an IT person.. n understands what u r saying but i m feeling afraid of doing any thing wrong bcoz i have already bricked my phn earlier while flashing gb through kdz.. so its very important for me to under the process first...
As per ur suggestion.. plz correct me or help me if i m wrong:
Firstly i have to download adb n install over my xp based pc..
Secondly in adb i have to run adb push command for sending the database file to the phn...
STOP..... WHAT file IS THAT DB IS...? N from where i get this.. i mean where did i get this stock recovery,? in which format is the recovry is?
And how the process will be run .. n how the clockwork recovery is replaced with stock one.. i have tried the combination of three buttons at startup in stock rom but no menu opens instead the phn will forcefully reset. so where is the official recovery?.
Help me plz expain how to do n for what to do in each n every step...
Is it true that after installing cw recovry n custom kernel we cant do a kdz stock flash..... Confirm me that after having custom kernel.. it should not lead the phone in non detecting position.. n if kdz works n can remove both kernel n cw recovery too then i think this is much easier ... i had seen a lot of post that o1 bricked by kdz flashing gb.... so if it possible then i have decided to flash froyo first n then update the phone via pc suite.... help me.... plzzz
Sent from my [email protected] OpTiMu$ On€ [email protected]
yes if u flashed a cutom kernel a custom recovery or a custom rom you can use kdz just turn on the usb debugging mode in setting>application>development to flash official stock froyo or official gb.. by using kdz method everything will be reverted back to stock recovery, kernel, rom, everything.. i suggest you to firstly flash the stock froyo using kdz method so you will be psychologically satisfied that you can go to stock

Ok I am really confused about this. So I just rooted my new Galaxy S II I got (the CF method using ODIN) and I was considering installing Cyanogenmod. However I changed my mind when I decided I could put a kernel on the stock instead. Now when I read thread for the kernel (as well as going to the website) it says it includes CWM touch Recovery with gesture support. Now does this mean when I flash the kernel with the recovery I got from rooting, it will also flash over the current recovery to the touch one? If I get OTA updates and apply them, will it remove the kernel and my root access? Also I am wondering has anyone had problems with this kernel?
Thanks for all the help.
Ainslie.
1) If you flash Siyah, it will overwrite/replace the current version of recovery you have, yes.
2) If you flash any stock firmware (including OTA updates), yes, of course you'll lose root. Any update will have a new stock kernel which will replace your existing kernel. If you do an update, you'll need to re-root your phone.
3) I've been using Siyah since about the 2nd week I got my phone (>8 mths) both Gingerbread & ICS and I've never had any major problems with it.
In saying that, obviously your experience with a given rom or kernel will not be exactly the same as someone else, because everyone has their phone setup differently/uses it differently.
So do a Nandroid backup in CWRecovery before you try Siyah, and if you don't like it, restore your backup. If you're going to use Siyah, I very much recommend you read the dev & discussion threads (certainly since Gokhan has been doing ICS builds at least). Any questions once you've installed it/started using it, ask them in the discussion thread (not the dev thread).
Ah cool thanks.
Also just one more questions.
When the new recovery is flashed with the ROM will the CF-ROOT custom CWM app work with it? Or will I have to download ClockworkMod from the Play Store?

Hi,
When u install siyah kernel, it includes the cwm app with the kernel. And the app is the same app you get in the cf- root kernel.
Siyah kernel is by far superior to cf-root. If you set it up right, you can get much better battery life. And it is so smooth. I would recommend that u use siyah..

If you open that you will find the option to under volt the cpu

Hi,
You can flash back to stock kernel, when you flash the whole stock rom.
The first warning? Me too can not understand.
The second: when you want to restore a backup, which you backuped with an earlier version of the kernel, then you will (soft)brick your phone.

Hi brother,
You can flash the E3 one....the CWM and RZR have some ext 4 problems. Rafael himself recommends the E3 version. There is a bug in the kernel...(rebooting). He will look into the matter as and when he gets time. Till then if you dont have problems with a few reboots, then use the kernel or stay with the stock one. :thumbup:

Is the Jelly Bean 303 compatible with E3 version kernel? I tried to flash this combination but the phone booted to a black screen. CWM version seems to boot normally (albeit is a little unstable)
then with the stock kernel can not use link2sd? because I'm using now, then what? if I wanted to go back to the stock kernel as I do? and what precautions should I take first? and if I wanted to try the latest rafael's kernel What should I watch?
may not understand what this warning means?

Yes, that kernel has problems with random reboots and there is no solution at this moment. However, the issue is not as bad as it may seem as "random" literally means random - you might get 3 days of stability and then 3 reboots on the 4th day. Anyway this is a relatively minor inconvenience and will be sorted out soon I'm sure. You can always go back to the stock kernel through Odin

Oh and if you do flash Rafael kernel, get the E3 version, the one that doesn't format system partitions to ext4. Or else you risk of soft bricking the phone on any of those random reboots I mentioned in the earlier post. Totally not cool
you guys are lucky coz you successfully flash the kernel.. but ME after flashing...
my phone always got a softbrick but I follow all the intructions step by step

That's beccause you use CWM or RZR recovory instead of E3(stock recovory).
Flash stock rom trought Odin and everything will be allright !
no! I even use e3... and same thing happens. T.T

After a few days of testing this is howto avoid reboots on s5830i with Rafael's kernel:
1. Disable 156MHz frequency - allow to scale CPU from 312 to 832Mhz. Best way to do this is to install "No frills CPU control" from google play
2. (optional) Increase voltage in kernel sources and re-compile it. This is easy if You have Ubuntu as scripts are prepared for this system. My values can be found in one of my previous posts.
After doing this I had no single reboot. Works 100%. I'm not sure if step 1 without step 2 will help much, but can guarantee that doing both will solve Your problems.
Quick backgroud (what I suspect):
1. Not every phone is ready for low voltages introduced by rafael. Some of them needs higher voltage - this is first source of reboots
2. It looks that some of s5830i does not like 156MHz, especially during call. Rafael has added this frequency for longer battery life, but as we can see it was not a good move for all the phones.
Bro it is important bcuz it is the only successful kernel for galaxy ace s5830i...u can get that on any custom rom

I can confirm this, after disabling 150mhz speed the phone got mostly stable. Still reboots sometimes under heavy app load but that is to be expected I guess, it might be caused by programs too

Install kernel and modules first
Then install custom ROM without boot.img
Then flash modules again
A while earlier i tried the lupus kernel. but from the moment i boot, the phone starts heating like mad. I didn't get a rom just got stuck in the boot process So i flashed stock with lupus kernel. as soon as it turned on, battery would heat up. Baattery life was crazy ( like 4 hours or so).I didn't have wifi or data then ( long story), so i don't know if its governor based problem.
Thing is i wanna know whether it was caused by the governor and whether changing it would help the issue.

Have you overclocked your CPU....

Depending on how the developer set up lupus kernel, it may boot up fully overclocked, which could be as high as 2.2 GHz. Next time, make sure you have something like incredicontrol (from the play store) loaded onto your device and then flash over Lupus kernel. As soon as it boots, use
incredicontrol to set the cpu max freq to something safe for your phone.
With lupus kernel you will need to flash the wifi modules with CWM recovery in order to get wifi to work.

Wait a second.
If I take an nandroid backup, flash lupus and restore it will it work Or will it show errors.

Incredicontrol is from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ontrol&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Lupus wifi modules are from here: http://dds.vigaas.com/kernels/LuPuS_kernel/Version3/ You should download both the modules zip and the ti wlan zip and flash them both. One contains the stuff for wifi and the other stuff for things like OTG.
I am not sure what you are asking about with the nandroid back up. If the back up is made by the same version of Recovery then it should restore with out errors. For example if the kernel that made the back up had CWM v5 and Lupus kernel has CWM v5 then you should be OK. But if your version of Lupus kernel has CWM v6 or TWRP, then you are likely to have issues with the restore.
Re: [Q] Lupus kernel overheating
I have cwm v6 in cm and v5 in lupus so will my cm restore work. I have no idea how to downgrade cwm either

I think there is a downloard link for Lupus kernel with TWRP, it is the same link where you get the modules. I believe there is also a dual version (has both cwm and twrp). Check the OP for Lupus kernel.
I think you will have issues with trying to restore a back up made with CWMv6 using a kernel with CWMv5. Might work the other way around,
but I am not completely sure. Certainly, the back up made with CWM and TWRP are not compatible.
Re: [Q] Lupus kernel overheating
So ill just have to flash a fresh rom?
Can I create an update. Zip of my apps and data with Ti backup FREE. Or can I do it manually?

I am not sure if you need to flash a new ROM or not. It will depend on whether the kernel and the ROM are compatible. As long as you are staying with ICS based ROMs, I would first try to flash the new ROM with out factory reseting. This way you won't lose all your apps that are in
/data. So I would:
1. Flash new kernel
2. Boot into the new kernel's recovery
3. Flash the ROM that you want
4. Flash the modules that you need for the new kernel (these have to be flashed after the ROM is flashed)
5. Flash anything else you like.
6. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
7. Boot into ROM.
I rarely do a factory reset unless I am changing different versions of Android (ICS to JB for example) or if the new ROM is behaving badly. If I have to, I typically get all the apps back from the play store. Often times the play store does it automatically, but you can do it really fast from your computer. I also use Flashbackups: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951478 but I had to change the update-binary to get it to work properly on my device.

Titanium Backup is also good if you are new to android btw I think in some roms wiping dalvik-cache and cache just before flashing causes bootloop so I think he should first check without wiping them, then wipe if necessary.

Just delete the first three lines from it or send me your updater script and I'll do it for u... But still if it doesn't gets fixed the zip might be corrupt and u may have to download it again...

Re: [Q] Lupus kernel overheating
No the zip file is okay. I used it with CWM with no problem
I don't know what you told about the deleting three line? Could you elaborate.
I don't like Ti backup (free version) as it takes very long to restore. Trying to find a method to create update. Zip of Ti manually
