Don't flash this as you already have one from ur ICS ROM! I just did not see any Stock Kernel that is the reason why i made a thread!
Haven't seen a stock ICS 4.0.3 kernel in development section so i m just dropping stock kernel in case some one needs it.
It meant we'll have mod kernel soon? Better battery faster ... everything.
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note™ - please forgive any typos
ummm... what?! Is this i717 specific, or just the AOSP 4.0.3 kernel? How did we get this for the i717 without source? Where is it from? So many questions!!!11 lol
If this is for real, someone please throw a bucket of ice water (and/or trout) on Da_G...
I have tried to use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20806471&postcount=1 to inject init.d support into the stock kernel but cannot tell if it worked. It worked on the stock ICS kernel for the Asus Transformer according to this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23005237&postcount=104
Anyone else more familiar with init.d care to try it? It did give me an init.d folder, and the command prompt on PC seemed like it was successful but I can't tell from the file it placed in init.d after first boot if it was successful or not. I tried putting a supercharger script in the init.d folder but it doesn't seem to be working.
edit: Also at the risk of sounding dumb I don't know what set permission as 755 is. I tried to set the permissions of the folder to match the other folders in the directory.
I don't understand why are guys so happy about this ?
This kernel (boot.img) is already in ICS ROMs,
you can just unzip one of those ROMs or the leak and there you have it !
They need kernel SOURCE to do overclock etc.

I was assuming this was source... which, as my previous post indicates, wouldn't make sense.
Otherwise, you're right, this isn't anything special. Nice to have separately? Sure, I guess...
so what is a kernal is this a ics leak, im a nubie and pretty stupid.
thanks
Guys, this is STOCK ICS 4.0.3 Kernel. In other words, the kernel that was provided with the leak. It's unmodified.

yes we know this.......which is not that useful for the dev....as they need the source code for the kernel.....without the source code....we can't OC/undervolt and do all the lovely things that we need...
I've been wanting a stock ICS version as there have been a few bugs that I can't get away from with the two mods I've tried... Maybe it's ICS, maybe it's me, but now I can see how the original runs. Thanks!

You do know this is just the kernel right? If you flash only this after a full wipe, you're not going to have a booting Android phone.
You sure? I would think it would be more like flashing it to what is already in it, unless, this is not for the i717.

I think he means if you flash it after a "full" wipe, meaning clearing the system. If you just do a data and cache wipe it should be fine, if of course you are running an ICS ROM.

...which already has the same kernel, so there would be no point.
If this isn't source, then I don't understand what this is for. Every i717 ICS leak currently available has this kernel already included. Having it on your SD card just in case isn't really going to do anyone any good, since everyone running any of the currently available ICS ROMs is already running this very kernel. If this is acceptable, then I won't be surprised to see others parting out the leak and posting pieces of it in the dev section, when it really belongs in General since it isn't source. Please don't flame me, just trying to make a point.

It's pretty useful for noobs who flashed DaG's kernel mistaking it for an ICS kernel.
OP is pretty misleading. There is no reason to flash this at the moment.

Actually, I dont understand what the big deal is...
There are stock roms in the development thread aren't there?
Stock Odin recovery image:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Stock boot & recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504999
Strange that no one *****ed about these being in Android Development... I dont see what the difference is.
All this is is the stock kernel from the ICS leak taken out and made available for flashing in case you want to flash the stock kernel FROM THE ICS LEAK (so, if you are still on stock GB, this wont be helpful, this is ONLY useful if you are running the stock, unmodified ICS leak and have changed the kernel and want to revert back to the stock ICS kernel from the leaked ICS rom).
The OP is pretty self explanatory, in fact, the title of the thread is pretty self explanatory. I mean, ICS 4.0.3 STOCK KERNEL sounds pretty clear to me.
My only beef is not with the thread or its location but the lack of organization on XDA. There should literally be a category for ROMS, another for mods & themes & apps, and another for stock images. Q&A should be removed and combined with General. Given the limitation of the current choices, this doesnt fit under General, Q&A, Themes and Apps, or Accessories. The next best fit is Android Development. This is of course all my opinion.

Stock kernels belong in General.

I really didn't want to jump back into this, and it seriously doesn't bother me at all that this was posted... that said, there are NO modified ICS kernels on our Notes right now (we're all on the same kernel at the moment), so this won't become useful until someone modifies one (as appdroid apparently intends to do to add init.d) -- and even then, it will need to be replaced once the official ICS build/source gets released.
Either way, like I said, this thread doesn't bother me at all... appdroid's dev efforts on the Note are much appreciated!
Alright guys, while I patiently await the official ICS upgrade I have decided I wanted to play with some of the roms. I'm a little confused on the whole locked bootloader and stuff that the Razr has. I have the Razr Maxx and wanting to get some pointers on what to do. I want to try MIUI and another ICS build. Should I install Safestrap and then what should I do? I already have it rooted and on .181
Any help I appreciate it, I'm used to installing CWM and going that route but I haven't used a Moto Android in awhile.

I would definitely install safestrap and get some ROMs' and tweaks going.
To install a ROM follow this guide: http://droidrazrroot.com/droid-razr-hacks/how-to-install-rom-on-rooted-droid-razr/
For ROMs' I would recommend Gummy and Eclipse. Eclipse for a more stock Gingerbread experience with better battery life and performance. Gummy for an ICS feel with lots of features.
Having a locked bootloader means that we can't flash custom kernels and radios until a bypass is found or Motorola unlocks them for us.
Hope I helped!

Ya I figured out the kernels and radios from the bootloader but I also wanted to make sure I don't fubar my upgrade path and be able to upgrade on official ICS when it drops. I know to stay away from some of the leaks from reading what people are saying on here and other forums.
Also if I have this safestrapped, flash a rom and then want to go back to stock the way I have it laid out I can just relock or whatever it is in recovery and it will boot into stock instead of the custom rom?

Yes, if you toggle safe system when your in the safe system/system you have the custom ROM installed on all your data from your original ROm will be restored. Ask questions if you're confused, nobody likes a data wiped phone.
Also, I know this is probably a redundant comment, but be SURE to make a nandroid backup of your stock rom, just so in case things go pear-shaped you can always reflash back to before the problem.
Be warned though that many of the ICS builds currently do have some bugs...
Most notable is the lack of hardware acceleration, which means no Flash or embedded videos until the official ICS is released...Not a hugely big deal for me, but some find this crucial.
I have been using J.Y.Daddy's port of CM9 for GSM and I love it. Very good looking rom, excellent features and intuitive organisation. Overall, 10/10. Definately would bang.
But yeah, nandroid backup is key. Just keep it on a USB stick nearby if you have little space on you SD.
Have a ball with custom roms man! It's what makes Android the best OS in my opinion.
I was wondering how to request the developers of Cyanogenmod and AOKP to make an official port of the RAZR XT910/912. I mean, we've got an unofficial port working already and MIUI is also making an official RAZR ROM, so how to get started with CM9 and AOKP. I know that the code freeze for CM9 has started already; but they have mentioned that they'll take new devices into considerations.

Not completely true. There are some rom based on cm9 and aokp that works on gb kernel and ics leak but they are cdma only (you need a gsm patch to make them work on the xt910)
Hi Guys,
Might be a bit of a noob question but I'll shoot it off anyway. I'm currently happily running SS3.11 with UTMS_Spyder CM10.1Nightly with ICS EU 4.04 Stock on XT910. :victory:
Everything seems to work like a charm and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what benefit there is to taking everything back to stock and flash the JB EU OTA?
Seems like until Hashcode and Dhacker get CM10.1 and AOKP running properly with JB Kernel I'd actaully be loosing functionality?
Any devs care to comment / clarify?
Cheers,
Phil
It's really just personal preference. There used to be a whole list of things that didn't work on AOKP/CM10 however Hashcode/Dhacker have worked extremely hard to iron them all out, it's really impressive. CM10 just updated to using the JB kernel meaning there is no more graphic tearing and battery life is almost the same as stock. Bluetooth problems were fixed last month. I think the only big bug left is automatic flash on the camera (however this still works when setting manually).
But to answer your question, technically running stock you are losing functionality. CM10/AOKP are running 4.2.2 while stock is 4.1.2 (I believe), meaning there's a whole bunch of features missing in stock. CM10/AOKP are being updated nightly meaning they will only improve while stock... well it's just stock. There wont be another update unless something is seriously wrong or Motorola decides to upgrade to the next AOS. Stock also includes a crapton of bloatware which slow down the phone. Even if you manually remove/freeze everything, I still believe CM10/AOKP to have better performance than stock any day. Hope this answers your questions
Sv: [Q] JB OTA vs CM10.1 or AOKP
I just love the customizations that cm 10.1 gives you. I can never go back to stock again. I also run the hotplug governor un order to save battery (one cpu shuts down when not in use) with noop scheduler. This tips were given by the poster above! Try cm and you'll never go back!

Is there an AOSP ROM that works with the leak JB kernel that the camera and tearing is fixed or only the soak kernel?

Well then... I think the decision is easy. Wait for Moto to release JB Fastboot and the amazing devs here to make a root tool and update CM10.1.
Why take a step backwards from available functionality for an official OTA.
Cheers Guys,

Thanks, I was running AOKP previously but have paid version of Juice Defender which started complaining that it didn't like ASOP base and I should switch to Cyanogenmod. Besides that compatabililty issue though I do really like AOKP ROM.. and did find it both fast and very stable.
Based on this thread here I believe I can flash this I-9505 4.3 GE Rom here. My concern is that based on the first link and flashing I9505 roms, I also need a Kernel. Does anyone have a 4.3 Verizon GE Kernel that is available? I'm guessing the 4.2.2 Kernel we have won't work. Thanks!
There is no such animal. Also, you may want to do some more fact checking- it's not quite as simple or easy as that thread makes it seem.

That "guide" for Verizon should have never been posted. It made everyone think that's all you needed to do. It's locked now in the Verizon section but clearly the confusion it's caused is going to be lasting. It wouldn't have been so bad if when the inaccuracies were pointed out that they be addressed.
To answer your question I've made 6 different Verizon GE 4.3 kernels that all boot up fine. None are posted because there isn't a vzw 4.3ge ROM. Until there is there is no need for the kernel by the average user because the ROM will still be unusable even with the vzw kernel.
If you still want to try your hand at it you'll need to make a boot.img. To make the boot.img you need an AOSP 4.2.2 zImage with a GE 4.3 ramdisk. Compile that and use the drivers from the 4.2.2's kernel in the zip you build to flash.

Very well. Thought this might be an easy fun weekend project but apparently its not. I will wait on a ported GE 4.3 ROM to pop up. I'm in no hurry.
