[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcl71:
Thanks Roger, I will try your method...more scientific then my method. I'm pretty lucky that I stay on 4g all day in my area and WiFi at home, have been looking only at display time (basically internet, mail and work web usage). Best display uptime so far 4 hrs. 15 minutes and worst 3 hrs. 45 minutes with different kernels I've tried. Was only getting 3 hours max display time with stock so I'm happy. Your method will give me some more clarity with what is happening during down time. Big difference in how some of the kernels feel on the phone and that matters to me more then the extra half hour difference I get between kernels. Laptop collecting dust since tbolt purchase. Appreciate the help.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
Hey everyone! I wanted to introduce a new project with a very simple but ambitious goal: create a place where all kernel developers can submit kernels easily and reach a much wider audience with ease.

Using Kernel Manager to flash kernels takes less than 30 seconds, generally, and it is extremely simple for end-users to find a kernel, filter by kernel features (BFS, CFS, HAVS, SBC, etc) download/install kernels, and submit ratings for their favorites.

We need from kernel developers like YOU! Submitting a kernel to Kernel Manager is totally free and we even provide hosting for you! Submitting kernels is easy, and kernel developers receive a FREE copy of Kernel Manager Pro when they submit a kernel to Kernel Manager!

If you use IRC, join us in freenode in #kernel-manager!

THIS LINK IS FOR KERNEL DEVELOPERS SPECIFICALLY! Go to http://kernels.teamw.in and register for an account! Once it's approved, you can easily enter new kernels, which immediately show up in the app. The app is currently available in the market.

Please feel free to provide me with any feedback you have, or feature requests in order to make this a great tool for all of android to utilize!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Should I submit my kernels to this? This guy is making dough off this which I have no issues with at all...

Just wanted some opinions from you guys...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xdviper:
If it makes easier for us to keep up with your work, then whynot?

How many other Dev's have starrted using?

It's like Rom Manager for kernels, no?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
If this had other features developed into the app and happened to support kernel downloads it'd be one thing, but I will not be paying someone else so that I can have access to the kernels that originate here. I'll save my money for the kernel devs. That being said if others find value in this, or if the dev community thinks it will do some good I'm all for it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
I see a **** ton of people having problems and coming straight to you faux.

I say make em flash the old fashion way... it at least deters some of the noobs. Making it something where anyone can one click change kernels.... sounds like opening a big can of worms.

Just my 2¢.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
I dont know, i would wait and see how it effects other kernel devs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Nicgraner:
+1 I would like to see less repitition in the forums of "help I'm bricked!" Then 3 posts from a senior member with some knowledge "oh I just had 2.5.1.2 installed or 3.0.0.5" then there's the others like (this still makes me laugh) my internets slow, must be the sim card! Lol. Sorry rant :P I think it'd be a good app if only available to more seasoned users to inhibit the amount of screw ups..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Sir0:
Faux you are the kernal king !!! thanks alot for all your cool kernals dude. but i would just submit one and see what happeneds !!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pnut22r:
Good idea, but I agree with the others posts. It would be helpful to have everything in one spot, even with older versions, but him making scratch on you, with you as basically free support?

Unless you want to get your name out there to more people, then go for it.

Thank you for everything so far and in the future.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
The problem is, we have so many different roms, and some of them require different kernels.

At least in the kernel threads they can see what works with what. An app like this will see ro.product.device=glacier and pull all the kernels. making it easy for someone to screw up and flash the wrong kernel.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Yeah good point... I will wait a bit and see how other kernel devs react to this...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
Just to clarify something - it costs nothing for a dev to host a kernel, and it costs nothing for someone to download that kernel through the app.

Kernel Manager provides kernel devs a super easy way to distribute their work for free. Kernel Manager Lite can download and flash kernels for free, so I'm not sure why you feel like you need to pay for anything?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
Currently we have 37 developers signed up and submitting kernels.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dumfuq:
I make my kernels for ME but share them because it is the proper thing to do. Feel free to use them, host them whatever. I do not want to make any money off of them because I did NOTHING. If you want to make money off of them, or share them feel free. Depending on what you do, I will have more (or less) respect for you. But really, who cares. I respect shiznzul (so far), so have fun and good luck.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Shinzul,

How is this handled in your app?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
The app only displays kernels that are your for your particular device so there's no chance of flashing a kernel that's for the wrong phone.

If there's any question about what type of phone you have (see: samsung phones...), it pops up a message asking you to confirm which of the options your phone is.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
What about seperating for different versions. We have two different Aosp formats... and two or three sense formats that we use on the 4g.

How does your app keep other kernels seperate so it doesn't screw up peoples phones?

That is the biggest issue I think most of us on the 4g see.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
being that it's in the market there is always a chance it will become a paid app. I just don't want devs to become dependent on it, that's all. I like reading into what I'm doing, so I guess I should ask, is there a section for a changelog, install notes, etc?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
There will always be a free version that provides access to the kernels. There is a free version (Lite) and a cost version (Pro) right now.

Pro will just have more features, but everyone will still be able to download+flash kernels for free if they like.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
I am going to add a confirmation on the android flavor (AOSP vs Sense). I might add a filter option for it, but it's difficult because that field is developer-input. There isn't a standard list.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I'm on Orange Glacier with Faux123 Sense 0.9.9 CFS LV kernel and Kernel Manager Lite won't run. Just has constant force closes anytime I try to open the app...fyi
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
Version 1.0.3 force closes?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
Yep, 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 that was just updated.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
Actually, I think I may have found the bug and pushed it to the market again (still 1.0.4 though). Can try it again? Sorry for the trouble :o
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
I took the liberty of uploading 2 glacier kernels from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957267

Just so glacier users can see what the app looks like, and hopefully kernel devs will see the ease of use for their users and join us :).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
So you took the liberty of uploading my kernels without my permissions for the sake of promoting your app to glacier users... I have already stated very clearly that I will wait a bit before I make that my decisions. I was thinking about accepting the offer but now I have lost quite a bit of respect for you.. You didn't even have the courtesy of sending me a pm...

So your true intentions are revealed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daryllh:
Looks like a storm-a-brewin.

The download options don't say who's kernel it is. (Edit: faux is listed. Didn't see it first time). Kinda hard to tell from the description. If this is how it would be presented, I'd just come here and read about each one and dl from link in xda post
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daryllh:
A lot of us don't go by names or build numbers. I look for 'faux' in thread title then 'froyo' or whatever.

Edit: kernel info screen should show author as well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
I put your name in the author... you can't very see what the point of the app is very well if you can't see any kernels listed.

And you can't see any kernels listed until someone uploads them. Goodness, I was just trying to show an example. And I chose your kernel to publish to the app as an example.

By the way, your work is open source and published to everyone... I don't really get what your beef is at all. I'm not trying to "promote my app" for glacier users, I'm trying to demonstrate how it works at all for glacier users. If you prefer, I will remove your kernel and add a different example kernel... I didn't think you'd mind additional publicity.

My apologies. :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
And... your a ****.

Faux is one of the most respected devs for the 4g. All you had to do was ask him. Instead.... you wanted to get something listed to try to get people to pay for your paid version.

You must be related to Ultimate Droid.

Rant over.

Oh... and I like how sorting kernels and flashing from the SD card require you to buy your app. Kinda sends up flairs that you are doing it for the cash and took the kernels to make money off our devs work.

You sir... are an ass. Seriously.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
<edited> :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
I posted the official CyanogenMod kernel in Kernel Manager!

So if there aren't any kernel devs who have uploaded their kernels to KM yet, you can at least see the flashing process and if it's something you'd use :).

Enjoy!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lowandbehold:
I think this sounds like a great idea. Of course there will be some issues to work out..as with all new apps, but I'm sure it will turn into a great product.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Imho, the filter option should be in the lite version. Also there should be an info pane which links back to the op on xda if the user wants additional information from the kernel devs. For the pro / pay version it should have a backup restore option so if the user decides to revert, he has that option, this is especially handy for rooted stock users because they won't have an option to go back to. I will most likely join the rom and kernel manager bandwagon, once the app become more mature.. Imho, I still consider this somewhat beta and the lite version too restrictive (lite version removes too much user freedom). backup / restore is something value added that I would pay money for.

Btw, the kernel information for cm7 kernel is wrong. It is 2.6.32 based not 2.6.37. Glacier does not have true gb 2.6.35+ kernel yet.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
+1 on everything
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
The backup/restore option is coming in a version very soon - will likely be a pro-only feature. Thanks for the info about the linux version, I updated it.

The website (http://kernels.teamw.in) already has a box for you to enter in 2 things that I am planning to add as buttons to the app.

1) Link to your forum thread

2) Paypal donation email

All 3 of these will likely be in the app by tomorrow night or Friday.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] scott.ragan:
I bought the pro version a few days ago in the hopes we'd see some glacier support. It works as advertised with the cm7 kernel (the only kernel that shows up for our phones currently.

However I do agree that the dev's kernels being advertised should be strictly volunteer based as it opens them up to a ton of wanted/unwanted attention. But I am hoping to see more kernels pop up in the app
[myTouch 4G Android Development] redndeyes:
DANG.... YOU TELL HIM FAUX. +1

[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
It's over now.... I am waiting for his updated versions to pop up, then I probably will make an account on his site and upload all my kernels on it :D

I can be your best pal or your worst enemy, just don't rub me the wrong way...

I also FORGIVE AND FORGET quickly... So I don't have any grudge or vendetta against Shinzul @ all :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaychym:
Why should I use this over Rom manager?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jasonp2506:
This actually swaps out the kernal of the rom rather than swapping the rom all together. So u could still use rom manager. I however will not be using this. I would much rather cone to the community and flash it using the standard, tried and true procedures. Than sell out to some kernal manager that exploits people. Just saying.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
Just to address a few points here

1) Kernel Manager doesn't exploit anyone... :confused:

2) You don't have to use KM to flash a kernel if you don't want - you can use it to download your favorite kernel, then flash it through recovery if you'd like.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jasonp2506:
So I assume when u say that u are gonna pay faux and the rest of the kernal devs a dividend of the paid version? If not yea... its a sell out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
KM Lite can download and flash kernels exactly the same as KM Pro can... I'm not following your logic.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaychym:
You can download/flash kernels in Rom Manager as well its just that they don't have many in the system there either to many variables for the different kernels/roms for this phone for this to be useable I'd say.

Just isntalled it...no options for a sense based kernel...or mysense based kernel...all i saw was 3 gingerbread kernels. No Go
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jasonp2506:
Never asked u too.. or anyone else. Just my opinion. I don't use rom manager for the same reason.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] infraled:
=)

LOL @ Jason, keep talking it's hilarious.

Its a manager program that flashes a rom. How does that hurt anyone? It's a voluntary thing - they can do it or not do it. Why would he give them revenue for a manager that he wrote? Why doesn't Firefox share its revenue with the websites that it displays for it's users? Why doesn't LG share it's profit from it's televisions to the stations that provide content? It's kind of an insane illogical argument.

I personally would like to see the developers send their files over to have them included - it would make it easier to sort between them and switch between them. I can cruise the forums too - either way - but it would be easier to have a program like ROM Manager say "Hey faux released a new badass kernel should I get it for you?" As far as the details for the kernels leave that on the user to check out if they want to.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jasonp2506:
Just seems immoral to me...and saying do it cause Firefox and everyone else does it is a cop out... cause where would he be without free kernals...NOWHERE. I doubt if the devs on here started charging for there kernals he would be creating a kernal manager.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
What are you still doing on XDA? You know they aren't paying any of the devs that post their products here. Especially using the XDA Premium app! They aren't sharing their revenues with the Rom or Kernel devs are they? It's a sham!!! It's all a sham!!! Head for the hills!

Just ask Cyanogen! XDA is probably one of the largest "Exploitation" websites ever!

FIGHT FOR DEV FREEDOM!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jasonp2506:
What u choose to download and use is between u and the man upstairs. Not me. Cause what ur saying is we should all might as well download say.... applanet just because we can.. Thx though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] scott.ragan:
O_o
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lincoln131:
It isn't about paying for kernels. It isn't about stealing kernels. It is about making things easier to find. The payment is for features in an app, not payment for kernels.

I like how Titanium Backup lets me backup stuff. I paid for it for more features, and to support the app.

I like how Rom Manager lets me manage backups, download, update, and flash roms. I paid for it for more features, and to support the app.

If Kernel Manager has features I like and use, I might pay for it too.

None of this takes anything out of a dev's pocket. I donate to dev's too, to support their work.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Maybe you could be a little more clear about your problems with paying for useful apps?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smatthew45:
Thank you, finally someone with some sense :p no one is forcing anyone to pay for anything... jeez is that so hard?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] edru:
How has this blown up to this kinda ordeal? Ive never seen people ***** at Koush for ROM Manager, and this is basically the exact same thing, for kernels. There is a free and pro version in each, the pro version unlocks extra options in both, gives you more control in both. Hell you have to buy Pro in order to download Nightlies via ROM Manager, which you can still get for free on the net and flash via ROM Manager, but no one gripes on him for requiring pro to access them.

There is no pay per download, nor is the author of the app taking a cut of anything other than the pro app itself. Hes doing exactly what Koush does. At one point Koush even had a Kernel Manager section within ROM Manager (dunno where it dissappeared to).

Granted taking the Kernels without permission is breaking the rules a bit and goes against the "unwritten code", but if that relvealed anything about the author, it revealed that they wanna make it easier for us users and willing to prove it.

As he has a lite app which is free and still will download and flash, please explain where the profiteering comes in?

It's amazing that someone makes a tool that is helpful, yet everyone pisses on them for it...
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
I'm making this as a new post in the general section for a reason. The Gingerblur thread is too crazy and moving too fast for a question like this and I'm also not even sure that this is Gingerblur related.

The problem I'm having is with my Contact information staying synced on the phone. It seems that no matter how many times I edit a contact, particularly the contacts photo that should be supplied by FaceBook, it won't stick. I am trying to get this to work correctly but haven't found a way to do it. I would like everyones contact information in my phone to be synced with facebook and pull their photos down from facebook and link to their profiles. It appears that this OS has everything required to do that but it's just not functioning correctly. Some of my contacts have the right facebook pictures, but a lot of them have none at all. I also have duplicate entries and some other anomolies as well.

Is there a setting I'm missing?
[Atrix 4G General] CRAZED SOB:
I have this problem also. For example, Ill text someone and their picture won't show up in the text thread, even though the contact is synced with Facebook.
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
Yes that too. Or sometime the pics will.be there in the text thread itself but it wont be when you're looking at all the text threads. Really glitchy.
[Atrix 4G General] RootPhisher:
Definitely an issue with GingerBlur. I had the same issue.
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
Can anyone confirm that this DOESNT happen on stock motor blur.

It is thought that it may take a modified baseband to make them accessible (although one post in the general section sounded like he received a SIM unlock code from TMO and was told to activate it with an AT&T SIM in the device).

Related to that, the flashing of the G2x Firmware on the Ox2 probably screwed up the baseband on it,as they use different bands. Someone on the Ox2 Forum did the reverse - everything worked but the network connections also
