[Q] Why change kernel? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Kinda noob question but otherwise i never know.
Why would i change the kernel of my phone. I flashed supernexus 2.0 on my galaxy sII
but i dont know what happend with my kernel when i did that.
Is a kernel something u can choose over your rom?
Are all kernels compatible with any roms?
At last, how can i check my current kernel?

i think its the wrong section...
you must put your question in here ( Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting )
this is the dev section mate...

You need to learn the basics. I suggest you read this, and probably the rest of the threads here as well. Not knowing the basics can often lead to situations where tears are shed.

I suggest you read the above threads, since a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
As for ur questions,
When you flash a stock or custom ROM, your current kernel is replaced by the kernel in the new ROM.
A different kernel can be flashed over ur ROM too.
Not all kernels are compatible with all ROMs. Please read the kernel OP's thread regarding compatibility with ROMs.
You can check your current kernel by going to 'Settings - About Phone' and see 'Kernel Version'. There are also third party apps on the Playstore that let u do that.
Changing kernels is not necessary. Since a kernel is what controls most of the hardware, u need to change it only when u want to tweak ur hardware. People also flash kernels to root their phones and install a custom recovery.

Hi,
Since you have GT-I9100G, i would recommend posting this in the Q&A thread in "GT-I9100G Android Development" section (It's in the Samsung Galaxy S II forum just a few steps down from this Q&A section)
Tell us if you fixed it by going there

Whether you edited the OP or I didn't notice the G.
Flash a stock ROM via odin, don't flash any custom kernel.

Thanks for the reply,
Does it matter which stock rom? i mean there are many countries and different versions in sammobile.
Also I already tried some kernels, is there a a way to wipe them away?
Thanks
Yes, it matters.
I9100 & I9100G don't share the same hardware.
Almost everything meant for I9100 won't work on a I9100G neither the other way around.
Flash this.

Now it is 2.3.6 how can i upgrade it to android 4? I am afraid i will flash anything else it wont boot again

[Solved] Whats my next step

Hello, first off i have read through loads of pages, been trying to figure things out for days, but the vast amount of info gets a little confusing, and just looking for a little more help, I have s2 i9100P XXLPH, running stock ics 4.0.3, i couldn't find a cf anywhere for it as the one i tried didn't work, it just stayed at the start up screen, so i downloaded the stock and flashed through Odin to bring it back to normal. I then managed to root it using ExynosAbuse, i then installed busybox. (not sure if i got it from google market or on this site) anyway I want to start trying a few roms but want to know the best way to go about this for my phone, Can i just download a SiyahKernel if so, should i download the latest SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta4, also does this Kernel install cwm for me or do i need to download that and install it separately as i will need to make a nandroid backup. Sorry i know all this info is probably on the site but as i said it just gets confusing with reading so much stuff, i'm not new to custom roms as i put custom roms on my San Francisco and Huawei Ascend G300. Just need a little kick in the right direction
hi, i tried reviewing a bit about your device. i am using SGS 2 I9100.
http://www.droidevelopers.com/f364/11689-galaxy-s2-variants-i9100-i9100g-i9100p-i9100t-i9100m.html
you can click that link atleast to check the difference.... have you tried the DORIMANX kernel for ICS support.... have you read about the brick bug of SGS2, better to be safe than sorry man. atleast try to find the eMMC check apk and install it to your phone before flashing a kernel. though kernels for S2 now have the eMMC_cap_erase=0. atleast try to check if you have the super brick bug on your current rom. mine just had one before you know.... it was resurrected by JTAGG deadboot option.
http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ - here is the list of the kernels of dorimanx... find the one that has ICS support....
then if the kernel worked. flash the rom you want...
note: if you chose to flash the CM10.1, dont forget to download the dorimanx kernel 9.xx, after flashing the rom JB base, flash a JB kernel.

U can flash siyah v5.0.1, and CWM recovery will be installed too. Or u can flash Dorimanx as it also comes with CWM. It doesn't matter which, because after flashing a custom ROM, the kernel and recovery is replaced by those included in that custom ROM.
U can make a nandroid backup after flashing siyah or dori, and before flashing a custom ROM.

Re: Whats my next step
You can flash any I9100 ROM/kernel, you might lose NFC capability by doing it.
You've got a lot of Custom ROMs Threads in the Original Android Development Forum. You can check other users perceptions on the ROM in cuestion.
Check out the nuke scripts threads, those scripts may come in handy for clean flash as it wipes previous Custom ROMs leftovers.
It's always good to have Mobile Odin installed, enables you to flash stock ROMs very easily and in a safe manner.
You can get confused if you read a bunch of thread about a bunch of subjects.
I suggest you go from specifics topics to specifics issues related to that subject.
Q&A is a great place to learn about any issue you can get.

[Q] S2 i9100p crashing + battery issues

Hi guys,
At the beginning of this year, I flashed the phone from vr 3.0 to ics:-
Rom: ICS
And' ver: 4.1.2
Baseband: i9100XXLS6
Kernel: 3.0.31-462349 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 6 02:42:23 KST 2012
Build No: JSO54K.I9100XXLSJ
It ran okay, although now and again the phone would freeze for a couple of seconds, but then continue working fine. But over the last month it has developed the following problems:-
1. Freezes and reboots on a regular basis
2. On many occasions after reboot, battery goes from a good 90% to suddenly 10-20%
3. Even with a different battery from a friend's s2, the phone still does freeze/lock.
I have ordered a brand new battery (2000mAh) from orange, but whilst i'm waiting for that to arrive, I would like to reflash to whatever you can recommend. I want to preferably go back to the latest orange brand fw and see if that resolves the problem.
Could you please clarify the following for me?:-
1. How do i fully backup everything (excluding rom!!) and how do i restore it?
2. Is the latest Orange FW Version 4.0.3 which was released on jan 2013?
3. Once reflashed, how do i root it too?
Thanks

1. U can use Titanium Backup to fully backup all ur apps and their data. As for ur personal info (like contacts, messages), u can find many apps in the Playstore (like Super Backup).
2. Check sammobile.com to see.
3. There are many guides here on how to root ur device. Different firmwares have different methods. So I can't really say which unless I know what ur gonna flash.

Thanks very much immortalneo.
I checked the sammobile.com site and found the I9100PBVLPE_I9100PORALPE_ORA to be the latest firmware for my orange uk mobile, which i believe is ICS 4.0.3 fw. Now how would i root this fw?

Yes, it is the latest firmware. You can root it easily using ExynosAbuse (search again).

thats absolutely brilliant! thanks!
btw, i can't use titanium backup as the phone has not been rooted, so i'm using super backup to backup all apps, sms, contacts etc.
i will let you know if i have any issue
hi again mate,
i managed to reflash the original 4.0.3 fw onto the s2 and although this seems slower than previous ics, i guess i'll have to try it out and see how it goes.
i've ran into a problem with ExynosAbuse though. When i click on "root device", it says "FAILURE: Could not root device". Any ideas why? what fix should i use?
Also what is a fast firmware that doesn't have too much bloatware and allows a good battery life?
Hi again,
First of all, I would like to say thanks for all the help and advice. I really appreciate it.
After flashing the orange stock rom, I found that the phone was still freezing, rebooting and battery losing it's charge. I have now got a new battery for it and that has resolved these issues which i'm very happy about.
Unfortunately, the phone is still jerky and even my new budget ZTE Blade III seems to be more faster/smoother than the S2!!
I have tried numerous roms and they all seem to be jerky.
I want to know the following please:-
1. Could it be a ram/cpu issue?
2. What rom would you say puts the least pressure on ram/cpu? Can you recommend one?
3. How do i put on the recommended rom? Odin or a different method?
Thanks!
BUMP!
1) Maybe.
2) No. Rom recommendations/threads are forbidden here:-
A) Because there's hundreds of them on here already.
B) Your experience of a rom or kernel will not be the same as mine due to different phone setup & use.
B) Given how easy it is to flash roms & kernels/backup/restore with CWM once you've rooted your phone, there's no excuse for you to not try out a bunch of roms until you find one that works well for you. If you try a rom & you find you don't like it, you restore a backup of your previous setup in 5 minutes & either try another rom or stick to your previous setup.
3) The flashing instructions for a given rom will be on the first page of the thread devoted to that rom. Most custom roms are flashed via CWRecovery, a few have Odin flashable versions. Most stock roms on the other hand are Odin flashable, tho people here have also made CWM flashable versions of some stock roms.
The advice is to read read read read read read. Not doing so is the number 1 cause of busted phones on here.
Thanks very much MistahBungle.
You see, I've already tried loads of roms and I get the same problem, i.e. the phone apps work flawlessly, but there is a lag when i scroll through the home screens. I thought it might be the bloated orange stock rom, so tried villianrom, neatrom and many others. I tried to also clear the ram, just incase it's a lack of memory issue, but had no luck.
Can you recommend anything else?
*coughs*
Didn't read 2) eh ? No. I won't recommend you a rom. Because it may not solve your problems & you won't have the same experience as me.
Edit - Oh. Right. 'Other' recommendations. Well, the lag you're talking about (in my experience) seems to often be kernel related. Perhaps try a bunch of kernels rather than roms ? 'Clearing' ram will often make system lag worse. Android does a pretty good job at memory management, so there's no need to 'clear ram'. You may notice that Android often doesn't leave a lot of 'free' ram, this is by design. It tends to reserve free ram for 'itself'/system processes in case it needs it at short notice, this is somewhat normal.
sorry mate, i think you've misread what i'm asking...i'm not asking for a rom recommendation, but i want to know if there is anything i could do to improve the scroll lag/jerk effect?
Yep - read my edit.
Good idea, thanks very much. Although i assumed that a stock rom would have a good kernel.
Is it hard to install a kernel on an unrooted phone? FYI, I plan to install Neatrom (apps removed) it comes with Kernel: XWLSS-v5.00.4-PhilZ. Don't know if this is any good???
Some kernels have Odin flashable versions, some not. Personally speaking, I'd prefer rooted & flash via CWRecovery because its easy.
Can't speak for that particular kernel, never tried it. Never tried the rom either.
Cheers buddy.
Hopefully once i flashed Neatrom using Odin, then i should be able to root it.

FYI, u don't need to root NeatRom, as it is already rooted.
And Philz kernel is the stock kernel itself. If you want to try a different kernel than stock, try Siyah or Dorimanx.

sounds way too complicated to change the kernel as i've never done it.
if i install neatrom and assuming it's still giving me problems, how do i change it's kernel to the ones you've mentioned?

No no.. its not at all complicated.. just make sure u don't flash the wrong kernel, that's all (read instructions carefully)
If ur on NeatRom (which has a custom CWM recovery), its very easy:
1. Download the correct custom kernel (in zip format) from XDA.
2. Copy it to ur phone.
3. Boot into CWM recovery.
4. Flash the kernel zip (just like flashing a custom rom).
5. Wipe cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions in recovery.
6. Reboot.
7. Give the new kernel a few days to settle.

Thanks so much immortalneo. I know some of us noobs will bang on about the same issues, again and again, but it's just a jungle out there with the choice of roms etc. Also i want is the least bloated rom and smooth screen etc.
Now i know i've may have already asked this earlier, but immortalneo, would you know which kernel is known to have fast speed?

Use Siyah kernel to root.
SD card stands for your internal SD memory, not the external SD card. Just copy it to ur phone, that's all.

Saying ur a noob is no excuse for not searching mate. All it takes is some good old reading and a little common sense.
Siyah kernel is actually compatible with all versions of android, including 4.0.4. But you must be careful to choose the correct version of Siyah that matches ur firmware.
It doesn't matter what kernel u have, because after flashing it will be replaced by the kernel included in the SuperNexus rom.
For a good tutorial, u can use search or check out the stickies in the Q & A section.
Feel free to ask any doubts u may have.

Replying to ur PM:
When u are going to root, u should look at the firmware u have now, and choose the correct kernel. Don't look at the rom that u are planning to flash.
Siyah v5.0.1 is the latest kernel for ICS, and hence is a good choice. You can use it to root now.
To get SuperNexus (or any other custom rom), u need a working CWM recovery to flash the rom.
Flashing Siyah kernel via odin will install this CWM recovery. You only need to follow the instructions given in the rom's thread after that to install.
There was no good rom,
there is no good rom,
and there will be no good rom..
Because it all depends on what suits u best (which only u can tell after trying).

That tutorial uses a CF kernel to root, instead of Siyah kernel. The difference is that CF is simply the stock kernel while Siyah is a custom kernel. You can use both to root.
But on 4.0.4, there is always a risk of using CF kernels due to eMMC Brickbug issue. That's why I suggested Siyah, which is 'safe'. I'm not sure if ur device has the risk of brickbug, but its always better to be safe than sorry.
If you still want to use the stock kernel to root, u can try Philz kernel (its also 'safe').
P.S. The CF kernel in the guide u posted is not the correct version u require. CF kernels and Philz kernels are stock kernels, so u have to find the one that closely matches ur stock kernel.

Good job!
The yellow triangle is normal after rooting (some people even consider it a badge of honor).
U can flash the SuperNexus rom in CWM recovery.
Post the instructions that u find confusing.

From what I read above, I understood this:
- Either u haven't read like u were supposed to
- Or you have no idea about this stuff
Which is it?
BTW, ur looking for Philz kernel (zip file).

You need CWM to flash custom ROMs as well as root.
You can get both by flashing a custom kernel.
Which custom kernel? You can find suggestions all over Q&A.
You ca. use any custom kernel with a custom ROM but It'd be wise to stick to the dev suggestion, on the custom ROM thread.

you need cwm.
and signed . so you can flash it in stock recovery.

DL and flash from your SD card Philz 5.00.4 XWLSS (fixed) kernel and custom cwm. This will also root you.
Then you can flash from international memory whatever custom rom you wish.
