Linux kernel 3.x not in ics why? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i was expecting the ics releases to have the 3.x Linux kernels but they do not seem to have it. can anyone tell me is it because of htc or does the tbolt not support the kernel...

The leaked ics rom has a 3x kernel. Our aosp doesn't have a 3x kernerl because we don't have ics source for the kernel yet.

This confused me and still does. I thought each Android release went hand-in-hand with a certain kernel version (or higher).
Eclair = Linux kernel 2.6.29
Froyo = 2.6.32
Gingerbread = 2.6.35
Ice Cream Sandwich = 3.0.1
Jelly Bean = 3.1.10

I put the x because I wasn't sure of the exact numbers after the three.

I understand, but my point was, the AOSP ICS leak is using a 2.6.35 kernel. I would think that makes this a Gingerbread ROM, not an ICS one. I've asked about this in Liquid's thread but got no responses...

No it is ics framework and system UI. The gb kernel was modified to work with ics. The most important part of the kernel that changed from gb to ics was the ramdisk.

Would using the GB kernel be causing some of the display and camera weirdness that folks are calling 'driver' issues on and off? It's awesome that they even got it working at all, let alone as well as it does.

That is exactly the reason for the issues with the camera and some of the graphical issues

[Q] Atrix 4g kernel choices?

New to xda, have a rooted, unlocked 2.3.4 ATT atrix.
I'm running faux123's kernel, just wondering what other kernel choices are out there, for over-clocking, etc.
Ty
If I am not wrong so far are 3:
Fau123's: Actually is the one I am using fast & stable, just the bug of the battery after install that need to re calibrate after been install (easy fix)
Edgan: Stable & conservative Nice to give a try
Kholk: Last thing I read, he trow the towel until Motorola release the source of GB code due to a bug in the WIFI module

Is the kernel source only released for moto 2.2 right now?
Yes.
The gb kernel is not officially released.
It's source code will be released after the official release of gb I think..

So how ironic. All this time the 2.2 kernel source has been available, but nobody could compile their own kernel cause with a locked boot loader it couldn't be flashed. Now that we have unlock, everybody is on 2.3.4 so nobody wants a 2.2 custom kernel.
Has anybody tried making a custom 2.2 kernel and flashing it to a 2.2 ROM now that its possible? I'd imagine the kernel will have lots of similar code between the two...
I think the reason the answer is NO because you will loose some proprietary hardware, that I don't think so Motorola will release those codes (aka fingerprint reader)

4.0.4 Rom?

Which roms for i777 are android 4.0.4 ?
I am having problem with ICS roms freeze and reboot when connected for about 15 ~ 20 min to Sony cat stereo via bluetooth.
Found out that there are several other people having same problem on i9100 and apparently only 4.0.3 based roms are causing problem. Fixed by installing 4.0.4 rom.
Now, I'm trying to find rom for i777 with android 4.0.4, but I only see "F1 GalaxyNexus Pure Galaxy Experience." I am having hard time installing it because it gives me error.
Are they any other rom with 4.0.4 ?
Otherwise, I will have to go back to gingerbread.

I'm sure there are several roms with 4.0.4, but most of the roms doesn't really show which version it has.

Tried FoxHound and AOKP.
I did not like both. I think I just am too used to TouchWiz and other samsung applications.
I just feel AOKP is not as easy to use.
Going back to Gingerbread for now. Wasted too much time on trying to make ICS work.
Let me know if there is any android 4.0.4 with close to stock feel. (TouchWiz)

I don't remember or know for sure which TW-based ROM with ICS 4.04, search in the dev. section. If don't like them all, there should be an easy way to update the AT&T official ICS 4.0.4 ROM. All you have to do is flashing/re-flashing the stock ROM 4 times.
Note: you must perform it right at 4:04 for it to work though.

Ah I see.
I have settled with AOKP with APEX Launcher for now.
I still like TouchWiz better. It does lack advanced features of AOKP, but then I don't really need advanced features.
Hope official 4.0.4 comes out soon. (Unlikely, but one can hope..)

Well, I think there's a way in which we can eventually get a 4.0.4 sammy based rom on our i777.
See, if you go thru latest news on i9100's forum , you'll see that official 4.0.4 has been released for them.. so if we get a custom kernel (maybe siyah or Neak) that can support 4.0.4 for our phone.. then one can easily hailraise the i9100 4.0.4 based rom without much hustle...
but, it'd take few more days for this as custom roms based on 4.0.4 for i9100 are also not out yet.. nor many supported kernels.. but it definately would...
Hope this helps !!!

He was talking about official 4.0.4 and the answer is no. There will NOT be an official 4.0.4 for this device. They barely came out with 4.0.3 so its highly unlikely another release will happen

Kernels on JB

I think you mean forward compatible. :laugh:
I don't think that they are, but I do think that since JB is an incremental upgrade from ICS, it might be easier for the kernel devs to use the ICS source to make JB kernels. Of course, I'm not a kernel dev, so I could be totally wrong.

Installing Kernels on Rooted S ON phone.

I was wondering if it is normal for the kernel info under About-Software-More to always stay the same after a new kernel has been flashed? I have installed NilsP Business ICS (both 3.6&4.0) and both times the kernel says it is installed correctly but the name is unchanged when I look in setting under About-Software-More. My kernel always says: 3.0.16-hd0049f1 [email protected] #1 smp preempt. Any thoughts?
Thank you,

if you are s-on then you will need to flash the kernel out side of recovery. so unless nils rom installs then automatically rebooted you to hboot to finish the kernel wasnt installed.
i know he has in the second post the different kernels that are out. pick one, rename it to PH98IMG.zip and place it on root of sd card.
reboot to hboot and let it install.
done.

Yes, I have done that and It successfully completes. I guess my concern is how do I tell I am running the correct kernel? It appears to me that the kernel name does not change when I look at about phone-software info-more then read the kernel version. Mine currently says 3.0.16-hd0049f1 [email protected] #1 smp preempt. I just installed business ice 3.6. Since I do not have S OFF will the phone display the default kernel even though one has been flashed over it?

as long as the kernel says 3.0.16 and the build number is 144 then they havent changed anything from the last 3 leaks.

Okay, I'm just used to seeing a lot of Roms go with a custom kernel option. Coming from a rooted dinc, I used an incredikernel with a lot of the custom roms I used.I was concerned because it displays the exact same kernel as the ota ics update put out by Verizon. Do a lot of developers stick with stock kernels for rezound roms?

i came from the inc too. the reason there isnt that many options is because we dont have source for ICS yet. so as far as i know the .10 ruu is the latest kernel and the other 2 leaks that came after are still using that kernel.
once source drops we will see kernel development.
Thank you very much! I didn't realize we didn't have the source code yet. I really appreciate your help.

Can't flash kernels or mods on 1.12 s-off

Are you using the right kernel and not a jb one? What does it do when you try to flash one, we need a little more info.
My apologies.. It was booting to a black screen.. I think I realized the problem, tho when zarboz kernel was updated to work with the new base. Maybe I'm wrong, I still have a lot to learn here... But it flashed and booted..

Yeah most of the kernels we have are for the old base. Have to make sure the bases match.

You don't need to flash a kernal with MR 4.0 and higher just run the 4.3 zip and go and 4.4.2 is OC'ed @ 1.89 and 4.4.3 is OC'ed @1.79 using EvilZ kernal baked in
Ok I just thought it wasnt there because in the settings about phone the kernel version never changed. So is there a way to change governors with this kernal?

4.4.4? If so did you flash the OC on zip? You might be running the stock kernel instead of the custom..
