[Q]Roms and kernals - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm totally new to my thunderbolt and i've just freshly rooted it after noticing bad battery life. Now i'm not totally new to flashing roms and everything, as my last phone was a Motorola cliq and i put c-mod on it.
But looking around i'm so lost on kernels and roms and radios. all i ahd to do before was just a rom. Its not hard installing them but matching what works with what is frustrating since i don't know where to start.
Does anyone know a good rom and or kernal that removes bloat ware and gives better battery performance? Any installation tips thats needed to get it on please let me know. I assume the order is rom and then kernal and then radios.
thanks!
EDIT: the rom that caught my eye was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227493

Well, the way kernel and roms will react is different to every phone. The best kernels right now imo is imoseyons and ziggys kernel, you just flash them in recovery as you would a Rom. For radio, again different for everyone, you'll just have to test them all tbh, be careful with flashing them they can brick your phone and you flash them in the bootloader not recovery. If you need help with flashing just let me know, I think there's a tutorial stickied but its 1:30 am. Just my 2 cents

ROMs and Kernels
I usually stick to just flashing a ROM. Some come with good kernels and radios already in them. I would suggest using either thunderstick, BAMF, or cyanogenmod ROMs.
It's an old ROM, but I am currently running thunderstick bareback. I get great signal, battery life (after calibrating/removing battery stats), and my GPS works perfectly. It did remove all of the bloatware also.
You can install App Quarantine. I love this app.
It doesn't exactly uninstall certain apps, but it will keep them from running. Also once quarantined, it removes the apps from the app drawer. Just a nice way to save battery and clean up some space from apps you don't use.
Try flashing different ROMs and see what all you like.
If you insist on flashing different radios and kernels... as Watoy said, it can brick your phone if you're not careful.
Always make a backup and you should be fine!! Lol.
Good luck.

Rooting guide for TB, you can also do a YouTube search to see the step by step guide yourself, really helped me out.

That is the thread for all the TB roms and radios and kernels. I had das bamf remix on mine when I first rooted, and just last night took the plunge into gingeritis. A word of caution, you must flash the leaked gb radio to run any gb roms besides cm7, the radios have bricked tbs badly in some cases, read the disclaimers and pay attention.

thanks ...
i wanna do the BAMF 2.0-5 ... whats the different between the original and the remix?
so i root first ... and then install the rom ... im assuming the kernel comes with the ROM ....
is that the most stable ROm ... or should i stick with 1.7?
sorry for all the questions, but i want to make sure i have everything lined up before i do anything ...
I'm not sure of the differences between the original and the remix, as I have only used 1.7 remix for froyo. The rom you want to download is a gb rom so you need to flash the new leaked MR2 radio which you must do through hboot. Make sure you carefully understand the risks involved with flashing a leaked radio and if you decide to go on then great.
First you download the radio and put it in the root of your SD card, making sure you rename it per thread instructions.
Then you download and flash the gingerbread rom through roms manager. Make sure you do a nandroid backup.
After flashing this roms, the phone will reboot. Pull the battery so that the phone will not reboot into gb with the wrong radio.
Hold the volume down and power keys to go into hboot, flash the radio and your good to go. Don't forget to read the instructions carefully, my instructions are only a summary and are not detailed.
In regards to the kernal, I recommend imoseyon lean kernel for sense. DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT KERNEL for your roms. You don't need to do this, but its nice for overclockibg and undervolting to help with battery life. If you decide to do this read about the speedtweak.sh script carefully.
Or you can just flash a froyo rom without worrying about flashing any radios.

Thanks.
Im gna try this over the weekend and see how it goes.
Appreciate the help
Is the gb Rom stable right now or should I stick with froyo
I need netflix. And to get rid of bogus pre installed apps. And better battery life
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I can't say of all roms how stable they are, but I can say that in the past 24 hours of running Gingeritis, I have had zero issues whatsoever. It also comes with Netflix preinstalled which is also handy. You could go to the alpha build of cyanogen mod 7, which means you don't need to flash a radio, and it will run Netflix its just that you need to look for the apk which is all over the boards.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I put Gingeritis on last night and love having my Netflix back. I tried the latest CM7, and it also runs Netflix, although just a bit jittery. I'm trying the Th3ory ROM's next.
if you guys have used BAMF ( any version 1.7 or above ) and Gingeirits ... can you give me comparisons ...
im leaning towards gingeritis but dont konw yet
thanks "the kid escobar" ... didnt need to read any tutorials ...
updated radio .. running gingeritis ....
appreciate all the help ....
so now that i have the updated radio ... i can install any GB ROM . correct ... dont have to flash the radio again?
also ... how can i backup all my apps and settings now ???
dont want to re install everything all the time
I'm using BAMF 2.0-5 and it's great. Camera sucks but that's the only problem. I think you can flash the froyo camera and it'll fix it.
You don't need to flash a radio every time. It's separate from the ROM. To backup yours apps/data get Titanium Backup. Buy the full version or donate for a full license.
The only time that you would need to switch radios would be if you were switching between froyo and gingerbread. So as long as you have the GB radio you can run any GB ROM. Just as a warning you might want to be careful when it comes to backing up settings or system apps with TiBu or any other backup app. Sometimes it can cause FC issues that you dont want to deal with. But for apps you can use Astro, Titanium Backup (Pro is worth the $), MyBackup Pro and they should all serve the purpose you are looking for. Have fun.

[Q] Questions about new OS's and most things root and kernels... For Vibrant T-959

Hello everyone! I recently began contemplating rooting and doing custom installs for my 959, for something fresh and better performing, also seems my music player has been acting up recently and am really interested in something new along with voodoo sound... If necessary anymore ? Thing is, there are so many ways to root, and there are so many custom roms??? I don't know where to start or what to look for? I just want one of the better, stable, new custom roms available as of this date for the t-959. I search but seems there's no definitive answer? Just a lot of roms haha?
Also when downloading a rom, do I have to download like 30-40-50 kernels and add them? I see all these roms, kernels and update??? Is it just download a rom and that's it, am I making more of it than it should be?
I'm just really noob'ish, really confused, and really, really nervous! I can't afford to brick this phone, but I really want something new.
Thanks for reading, and I apologize for some of the silly questions I have asked .
I fell in love with rom flashing as it greatly improves performance and gives phone a new look. Especially since Vibrant isn't supported anymore.. I can't live without voodoo goodies=) Definitely improves sound.
Negative side of custom roms is it takes up some of your time.. Finding a rom you like, tweaking it.. Not too mention you might brick you phone.
If you decide so.. the most important thing is always read OP...
I used superoneclick to root. I recommend Bionix 1.3.1 as a first rom very stable though a bit outdated. After playing around with the rom, you can try different 2.2 kernels and modems. Then go on to gingerbread roms.=)
Extremely easy. I'd suggest reading some of my guides in my signature.
I would Odin
Then download a ROM (nothing else needed)
Download my option b update.zip
Move both to internal sd
Reboot into recovery
Click reinstall packages
Choose to install zip from sd, select ROM, reboot.

Thank you trailblazer and thanks s15....
Any roms you would recommend s15? I appreciate the starting rom you gave me Trail, I'm looking for something a little more up to date I suppose? I was looking at cm7 or Simply Honey 5.0 Revolution(JVR GB 2.3.4)? Something with voodoo already in it? Something pretty stable with a bit of features. Maybe a lil less lag than stock 2.2, better performance, audio and battery life as well?
Thanks so much again both!
cm7 in nightlies still, though seem pretty stable, i havent tried for a while. Lots of features though dont think battery too great.
Simply Honey is a good one, stable, lots of features, great developer support.
I'm currently on RevolutionRom 2.3.4, stable and smooth for me, only bad is itfreezes like once or twice a day. More of a sgs2 look which i like. Good battery.
FYI Flashing Gingerbread roms, you will need to flash gingerbread bootloaders to remove rainbows and see recovery ( theres a post on it)
Also GPS isn't stable on gingerbread.

I think I'm gonna try the simply honey one or wait till he does a final release?, as for the bootloaders, what do I do or go to there? Also for the kernels, do I need to download one for simply honey? Should I download one for it?
I seen some roms or kernel can improve wifi and signal? Is that true, if so point me in that direction hahaha...
Thanks so much bro by the way.
search for Vibrant gingerbread bootloader, it's flashable via odin..simply honey roms comes with bullet kernel & there's Simply Honey Talon Kernel build by simone201 =)
Thanks man, do you mind if I ask which one you would recommend (Odin or Clockwork?)... I stumbled upon this youtube how to called "Custom ROM installation tutorial for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant)", and was just wondering if I can apply all his methods to SH 5.0? Sorry tried to link it but cannot due to my post count... Oh and when I'm done, how should I proceed with the new talon kernel?
Also if there's a new release of honey or the final release, say I installed this one... Do I have to do it all over again? Same wit kernels? Finally, do I need to revert my unrooted stock 2.2 froyo back to a previous version before gingerbread or any of this?
Thanks for your reply. I'm actually feeling like it's almost go time with this rom and kernel haha. Really thanks heaps!
D bootloader is only flashable by odin..you can read the OP for simply honey, what you need is all in there in d development area..flash kernel that works 4ur phone u decide on that wether bullet or talon..you can use sgs kernel flasher to switch bet the two..

One last question before I do this, I seen SH 5.1, but I seen it was for the i9000? Which one should be used? or the one you may recommend? Im looking for voodoo sound controls.
Thanks
EDIT:
Nevermind I read it will be up tomorrow... gonna do 5.1, this is pretty exciting as long as I don't screw anything up hahaha
i reverted back to stock firmware via odin and one click rooted my phone, factory wiped all data and now I remember after I rooted my phone I had unzipped file in my sd card and it told me that i can just delete it after I was done, well i did and then watched a video on clockwork that said not to delete it?
EDIT: Nevermind I fixed it, I just unrooted and rooted again...
So sorry for being a pain, I know you guys have better things to do.
3 questions and this thread is done... thanks for the help...
1. Does the market work on simply honey? Like can go in and search and download it like usual?
2. should I use odin to install 5.1 or cw?
3. how does the kb5 work? is that like default or do i have to flash it?
Thanks a million in advance!

[Q] I'm a noob. Help?

I just recently got my Atrix 4G, I'm new to Android. I've done a lot of research relative to custom roms, rooting, kernals. I know how to root, Im sketchy about roms and kernals. I just wanna make my phone ATT stock free. It makes it slow, and I know this device can do so much more. But I just wanna know what I should do. I don't know whether to do these roms:
1: [ics] cm9 by photon dev team. 1/16/12
2: Official cm7 for Atrix Stable Only
3:[rom] cm7-ics-mod2 [11/01/12]
4: [P-rom] Gingerblur v. 4.5
Kernals: by faux123
Gingerbread enhanced stock kernal
Cyanogen 7 enhanced stock kernal
I do not want to hard brick my new phone.
I would like to know what ROM is the best, I like the gingerblur stability but i like the ICS theme. But Cyanogen is well known for great ROM. Just a mess. What kernal would I use for these specific roms? What do you prefer?
first install android-sdk -your pc type
onto your pc include /tools and platform-tools as far as kernals some roms dont like some kernals soo for example of you download and install darkside it has fauxs 1.0 kernal soo dont change it to some strange china built stick with fauxs and you cant go wrong
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
So prior to installing the software, what does that necessarily do? Relative to ROMS and Kernal files. I know I need ROM manager and Titanium backup apps with root for backup reasons and stuff.
First of all you will have to unlock the bootloader to install a recovery manager.
The noob guide will help you a lot. You need to first unlock your bootloader before you do any flashing.
Once that is done a recovery like Clockworkmod Recovery needs to be flashed, I'm pretty sure you can just do this through Rom Manager.
At this point, your options are expanded greatly. For most roms and kernels, you just need to download the rom, and drag and drop it into your internal sd card. After that you can go into recovery via Rom Manager. Once there, wipe your factory settings, cache, and dalvik cache (in advanced). Once this is done, do apply zip from sd card then choose from internal card then navigate to the rom you downloaded. Just make sure you want to do this because it will wipe everything from your phone except what is on your sd cards.
You don't need to mess around with the zip files at all when you download them. Just take the file you downloaded and get it to your sd card. The recovery will do the rest. Same goes with kernels. Just make sure that you have the right one for what rom you're on and flash it in recovery when after you are done setting up your new rom.
As far as roms go it just depends what you want. Right now its the motoblur or cm7 and just read what rom has the features you want the most.
Hopefully this helps a little, this is a basic idea of what you have to do. Flashing roms is not as hard as you think. Just be careful unlocking the bootloader. Anything else just ask away.
Well, first of all, since all the posts above have told you how to install roms and such, I won't go through that. I will say that you really don't have to download a new kernel, as most roms come with one that works just fine with them.
As far as which rom to go with, it depends on what you want.
If you want webtop and fingerprint scanner, and most the little blur apps that come with the stock phone with more mods and features go with wet dream, its a pretty nice rom
If all you want is webtop and fingerprint scanner and dont care about blur, go with a deblurred rom, I have used darkside and alien roms and they are both great, but I would say darkside has the most extra features. Aura also falls in this category.
If you want the fingerprint scanner then you can choose CM7 Weekly #4, or Neutrino Rom, which is based off of CM7 W#4, however both have some issues with wifi/bluetooth that you might want to read the forums about before flashing, and also Neutrino requires much more additional flashing for extra features, which is a good and a bad thing, good because you don't have to get any features you don't want and bad because you spend more time downloading and flashing zips.
If you don't care about webtop/fingerprint scanner/blur apps, and just want speed and stability then CM7 Ba2tf is the way to go, its completely stable and very fast as long as you follow install instructions.
As far as the CM9 roms, those aren't meant for noobs, they are in alpha testing and development so they are potentially unstable, so its best to wait for stable releases, or at the very least betas
The rom I am using now is Neutrino, and I am enjoying it alot, but you just have to go through the roms and find out about what they feature and don't feature, and of course there are plenty of other roms in the forum that I am completely ignorant about such as MIUI, so just look around and see what you like
ps when you do use someones rom, be sure to at least hit the "thanks" button at the bottom of their post. They put a lot of time and effort in it and it's always nice to get a thanks

android-sdk will allow you to use fast boot and adb and allow phone to communicate to the pc in the event it messes up and you will need fastboot and adb shell to root and unlock the bootloader

Well I believe you're confused, which is understandable.. What you're talking about is unlocking the phone by buying a code to put in so you can use any carriers sim card, you don't need to do that
to unlock the bootloader you just follow the steps in the noob guide for unlocking, that will allow you to install a custom recovery, which, yes, is required for flashing any custom roms
Yes you have to unlock the bootloader, install clockwork mod recovery and then a custom rom. there is some work here, it is all documented in the development section of this forum. As for a rom, I am currently on cm9, however for stability I would suggest cm7 by Turl and team Atrix.
unlocking your bootloader IS different than unlocking the phone to other carriers its 2 differnt things and yes
before a custom rom can be installed the bootloader has to be unlocked

Help with correct version.

New SG2
Home home, it was running 2.3, did a OTA check, it said 2.6 was available. Didnt do it, researched on here first. Noticed alot of battery issues with it.
Rooted with superoneclick.
Flashed Sihyah kernel with odin
Flashed STOShock
Flashed ICS Theme
Charged to 100%, wiped battery stats
Now its my first day running the phone. The battery is really sucking right now. Its been dropping like 1-3% just when i reboot the phone. Seems to drop about 5-10% an hour of the phone doing nothing/turning screen on for 1-3 minutes a couple times to check notifications every hour. I checked wake locks etc, nothing is holding it up.
Now i noticed the version of the system is UCK6 and the kernel is 2.6. Dont these versions have problems?
Is there any other suggests Kernels or roms to flash? I'll even goto a stock rom if its battery life and performance is near the top for all roms. All i really care about is a solid stable long lasting phone with a ics theme and having root.
Perhaps the crappy battery could be from this being my first charge too and the battery not going through any charge/drain cycles yet?
there is no version 2.6 for android....
kernel version and android version are not the same thing. 2.6.x kernel is normal for EVERY version of gingerbread.
what you need to do is have a look at the threads, specifically one called [REF] Known identified battery drainers and check at what apps are eating up your battery.
Doh, what i meant was 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 i believe. And i followed that thread, there are no wakelocks keeping the phone up.
Maybe a better question is. Should i be running UCK7 and not UCK6? Im reading it has some wifi bug that drains down and i use wifi alot
Im thinking of maybe going stock. As long as i can be ics themed.

shostock is a great rom, i have had excellent battery life.
try unnamed 1.3.2 and see if it works out better for you.
Alright ill give that a try i suppose.
Does it matter that im running the latest Siyha kernel? I dont have to reflash any kind of different kernel do i?

a kernel will be included with the rom.
you can flash any kernel you like, but it could be whats causing your battery issues.
I see, i thought you had to flash a custom kernel first before flashing a rom. Because on the SHOstock page for installation it said "You must be running a kernel with CWM."
So i thought i needed to flash a kernel first.
But anyway, if roms include kernels, which im guessing the rom is optimized specifically for that kernel thats included. Whats the point of having them seperate to flash? So you can run a different kernel for some reason after you flash a rom thats using a different one?

You only need the kernel beforehand for CWM. The mentioned roms have kernels included in their package, so it'll be changed upon flash. After flashing the rom, you then have the choice to change to the kernel of your liking. The kernel included is typically the developer's choice for what they think is the best for their rom (perhaps PirateGhost will chime in on this part). Your experience may vary though, which is why you might change to something else.
Gotcha, totally understand. I looked around trying to find a thread that explained the different Base versions.
UCKK6
UCKH7
GWK74, etc,
Im trying to understand the order of oldest to newest release, and what the differences are.
Also, im guessing these bases are official samsung coded items right?

[Q] Problems for flashaholics

Hi guys. I am a newbie for flashing ROMs. I have an international version of galaxy s2. I rooted it a couple months back with zip file in external SD and flashing it in stock recovery. I am currently running stock kernel,ROM version 4.1.2. Recently I came across many different ROMs and trying one by one. I have taken a nandroid backup of the stock ROM in case something goes wrong. What my question is that, will something happen to the phone hardware like motherboard or processor if I keep flashing ROMs repeatedly like twice or thrice in a week????? I don't want to lose my phone forever. I have tried 3 different ROMs in this week.
Thanks in advance. :good:

Hahah you're safe mate, I've flashed 3 in a day once before. I don't always do that, but so far nothing has gone wrong :good: As long as you wipe properly in between ROMs you should be fine. I use a script (ROMNuke) by hawkerpaul here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
Basically flash that script in CWM and then immediately flash the new ROM. It cleans out all of the old rubbish from the new ROM so you get a completely fresh install of the new ROM, important if you flash a lot. Keep flashing till you find one you like! There's plenty of good ones
I think it depends on what you do with the ROM,if you over clock it change voltages etc ore don't follow a clean procedure when flashing new ROMs "full wipe" it may damage your device over time, this because some times when you flash another ROM if there are any leftovers of previous ROMs it may cause strange behavior on your phone like overheats,sudden reboots,sods,even brick the device

I have used overclock CPU and GPU (graphics) and haven't had any problems. I currently only overclock GPU though, scrolling is smooooooth I've also mucked around quite a bit with the voltages, although undervolt/overvolt is probably not a good idea. I don't make a habit of changing voltages. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34153152&postcount=15576 if you plan on changing voltage settings. That post also talks about overclock, and according to it, overclocking is not recommended. That's the 'professional' stance if you like. I can tell you however that thousands of XDA users underclock/overclock/undervolt/overvault on a regular basis. Up to you if you want to go down that route.
OP like I said, use that script in between flashes and you'll be fine

I have used overclock CPU and GPU (graphics) and haven't had any problems. I currently only overclock GPU though, scrolling is smooooooth I've also mucked around quite a bit with the voltages, although undervolt/overvolt is probably not a good idea.

Hahah you're safe mate, I've flashed 3 in a day once before. I don't always do that, but so far nothing has gone wrong :good: As long as you wipe properly in between ROMs you should be fine. I use a script (ROMNuke) by hawkerpaul here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
Basically flash that script in CWM and then immediately flash the new ROM. It cleans out all of the old rubbish from the new ROM so you get a completely fresh install of the new ROM, important if you flash a lot. Keep flashing till you find one you like! There's plenty of good ones
