New from flash. Tried fixing partition and converting both give me more or less the same error:

"

"Formatin system...

using create_custom_partition

creating system in ram...

Cannot create system in ram!

Error while formatting device /system!"

The formating part gives me a apology lol but same error.

After the error happends once I get E:Could not open lagfix.conf!
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Crap! Sorry man... nasty bug. Will get it fixed pronto.

Edit: New version 5.06-2 posted.
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
Hmmm... I installed 5.06 yesterday and converted partitions (including system) several times without a problem. Did not try fix partition. Was I just lucky?
[Captivate Android Development] poolemit:
apologies for offtopic, but any chance you'd look at the ics kernel at some point? tried restoring from within the CwM that comes with it and of course it failed. that reminded me how nice it is to have a working nandroid..

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
The problem came up for me when I changed the journal option for /system and then ran "repair / rebuild". It's fixed now in 5.06-2.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
It's on my "to do" list!
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
Gotcha. Thanks for your exceptional work. Very much appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
First off Thanks for you amazing kernel and modded CWM. I was just wondering if you could do a tut on the tweaks and optimizations on your kernel. I've been messing with them but I only understand some of it, and I would love to learn some more on that. I know you are busy and you have a huge to do list, if you can point me on the right direction I would appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
The best single source for info I've found so far is this post by pikachu01.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
If anyone wants to try ICS...

I tried to flash the latest Alpha7 but it was not working. Turns out the install script forgot to format the data partition. I fixed it and you can get it here. This should be for first time flash only. Upgrades of versions beyond Alpha7 shouldn't need /data to be reformatted.

It lost my /efs partition, so I don't have cell service, but wifi works. If you flash this, copy your /efs partition to the sdcard first! Otherwise, it is very slick and working well so far.

Edit: Found problem with root / Superuser, so be warned!
[Captivate Android Development] mfdemicco:
Can any of the ICS apps be run on Gingerbread? I'm particularly interested in the new Gmail app, which is supposed to be much improved.
[Captivate Android Development] joonair:
I tried doing backup at recovery, but half way through it says

error while making a backup image of /system

what should I do?
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Do you have enough room on your sdcard? You can go to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/... and delete any that you don't need, then try it again.
[Captivate Android Development] evl2100:
I can't get root accessed. I have tried to clear data superuser. Download superuser. Install superuser in cwm. No root still happens. any1 have any ideas?

I lost root when i convert from rfs to ext2...
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Have you rebooted since converting to ext2?
[Captivate Android Development] evl2100:
Yeah I have. I just tried to convert from rfs to ext4 and the same thing happens. I gotta lose root right when converting. I did it 4 times and 4 times losing root right.
[Captivate Android Development] liquidzyklon:
I have a problem here, I can't flash to Corn Kernel 5.06-2 with CWM or Odin. I am currently on Pinnacle 1.3 ROM. I was on the Boog KJ3 kernel with USAS and SuperCharger script.

My steps were:

1) Backup everything on phone.

2) Un-SuperCharge using the SuperCharger script.

3) Create my own restore for Universal Samsung Adrenaline Shot by restoring my ROM's system files.

4) CWM flash Corn 5.06-2 and reboot.

5) Ended up either stuck on the AT&T boot screen or black screen for over 10 minutes. I am pretty sure it doesn't take longer than that to boot up. The soft keys light up on touch but don't fade out.

6) Restore phone to use by Odin flashing Boog's KJ3 kernel.

7) Flash Corn 4.03 kernel for now.

Anyone have input on this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
Were you on EXT4 lagfix before flashing Corn? If so I suggest converting to RFS and trying again. If that doesn't work, suggest you flash Pinnacle 1.2 which is a wipe release, flash the 1.3 update, and then install Corn 5.06-2.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well you'll have to wait for mtcarey to chime in since it's his kernel. I was just thinking that if his is setup like mine is then if su gets removed or misplaced then it'd get reinstalled on the next boot after you converted.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Did you clear out the init.d folder before flashing Corn? (not sure if the updater-script does it or not). Granted you could have went into recovery to disable the init.d folder. I suspect one or more of the init.d scripts was the culprit.
[Captivate Android Development] PabxH:
Supports overclock?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
There aren't any I897 Kernels that natively support OC/UV. Not until we get the source. You can however download Tegrak Overclock and OC/UV that way. You'll have to manually set them again after a reboot with the free version.
[Captivate Android Development] droiduzr2:
check the market for an app that is easier to use and WILL keep your setting on reboot.

It's free

Voltage Control (lite is the free version)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Does that work with out kernel support? Thought it was only tegrak.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Voltage Control does NOT work if the kernel does not support OC/UV. Tegrak injects an OC/UV module into the kernel that adds OC/UV support. You have to reinject that module after every boot if you use the free version, but should work with any kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] igoa:
Call Recording

Call Recording from the Line not from Microphone is it supported by CORN?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Sounds like something that might require source.
[Captivate Android Development] igoa:
idea ... Maybe then some Kernel Level Virtual Device can be programmed like one used in removing DRM protection: Protected Music are played on virtual soundcard and captured in a unprotected format ... maybe some virtual hands free device ...
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Hey mtcarey,

I was using your Kernel with KK4 build, it was working totally fine. Then I reformatted my partitions to EXT4 using backup and restore, rebooted my phone. It was fine. Then I wanted to factory reset my phone but no matter what method I use, (dialer code, from settings menu or from CWM), I was unable to wipe data. Then I flashed Samurai Kernel and tried again, I was able to wipe it.

I was testing it my latest ROM, Illuminance 3.0 based on KK4. It could because of KK4 build, I am not sure.

What could be the reason of this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] Xanaki:
Will this Kernel work with MIUI?

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

Nevermind, seems to be working just fine...
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Been out of touch... went away for the weekend. I'll take a look at the wipe functionality in CwM. As I recall, I left it pretty much stock, which probably means broken.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
This sound way too complicated to figure out! :D
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Try running "fix permissions" in Recovery. Next version will have improved permissions checks.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Huh. Good to know!
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Cool. Are you planning to work on KK4 anyways? Performance wise your kernel is very good and would love to see dedicated KK4 version of the same.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Got one ready to go, but wanted to make a few changes to Recovery first. New KK4 version later today.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Different framework, so I doubt it.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Good news! I'm running Illum3 now and was going to flash Corn with it, but I think maybe I'll just wait for update now and flash the KK4 version. :)
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Are you sure it is running the corn kernel? What does something like CPU Spy say about the kernel? what version?
[Captivate Android Development] Tritan88:
I could not wait. I will just have to update when the KK4 version is released.
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
mtcarey, I have 2 init.d folders. One in /etc and the other in /system/etc. Is that normal? Also 2 scripts in init.d at first glance seem to be doing the same thing. S50 vacuum... And S60 tune2fs... What's the difference? Thx.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
/etc is a syslink to /system/etc or should be anyways...
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
OK, got it thanks. Learning :D
[Captivate Android Development] mfdemicco:
What files does Corn put into init.d in the "no.tweaks" mode? I'm running Thunderbolt tweaks and some of these files overlap. I'm thinking of removing the following:

S02-make-system-apps-rw

S08-zipalign-apks

S08-zipalign-apks-sc

S50-vacuum-databases-sc

also, the sysctl.conf file had stuff in it. I deleted it.

BTW, Thunderbolt tweaks are amazing! It upped my Quadrant score by 300-400 points (via the sqlite_optimize tweak), which makes me think the one in Corn isn't working.
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
Just my observation...

When using "no.tweaks" I had the following in init.d:

S08-zipalign-apks-sc

S50-vacuum-databases-sc

S60-tune2fs-sc

S91voltctrl

YMMV
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
Hmm. Never seen S91voltctrl in any of mtcareys kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
Maybe just left over from Voltage Control app? Dunno.
[Captivate Android Development] getinlost:
Were there undiscovered problems with the KK4 release? Also I wonder if you can lose the CWM part. What you have done to this kernel is so much better. I wonder if you should name it yourself.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Leftover from something else. Also, S60-tune2fs-sc is a mistake (duplicate of S50-vacuum-databases-sc) with a different name! You can delete that one.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Hey mtcarey,

I just wanted to know if that wipe issue has been fixed in 6.01 which I mentioned earlier in your thread.

Thanks for your work on Kernel. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
KK4 was delayed because it was giving me problems with the /system partition formatting. Got it sorted-out and all works great now. As far as renaming CwM, I thought about it but was concerned that it might be too confusing for a lot of folks!
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I think so! It was as of a couple days ago.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Thanks, I will give it a shot and let you know how it goes.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
In Linux, /etc is a required folder. In Android, it is a symlink to /system/etc so that some converted Linux utilities can still function.
[Captivate Android Development] Archpope:
I'm very impressed with the recovery mode. I just converted to ext4, and I LOVE how incredibly informative the process was. It made me feel like less of a noob as the scrolling info reassured me that it was doing what it was supposed to do.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Its also great because if for some reason something goes wrong, you can report better information helping him to find a fix. =D Great job mtcarey!
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Just curious any luck working with the ICS kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
BTW, Kyuta renamed his. It's Samurai Recovery 5.0.2.6. IMO recovery is recovery. I don't think it's all that confusing. Instead of saying you can flash it thru CWM, just say you can flash it thru Recovery. ;)

Also, flashing your update as I type. Thanks for your hard work, it is very much appreciated. :) Looking forward to seeing how it plays with Illum3.0.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Yes and no... I spent last weekend running ICS and have koush's CwM 5.5 source, but the state of ICS at this point is such that I put it on the back burner. I only have one phone to work with and the lousy battery life of ICS made me run back to GB I897! That and the fact that ICS uses the mtd partition scheme and that /data is already ext4 makes it less tempting.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I thought you meant rename the binary, like the Steam kernel (I9000) calls his "Steam". I suppose I could slap "Corn" across the top instead of "CwM", but it seems kind of wrong to me since it is still fundamentally CwM and not entirely my original work. Besides, the name "Corn" was kind of a joke to begin with! :D

(The original name was "Kernel Saunders"!)
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
LOL :D I love that! Well, call it anything you like, it's still a great kernel and I really like the modified CwM (or whatever :p).

I installed over Illum3.0 and it runs great, solid, snappy and smooth, no problems yet with the exception of the stock gallery app. It was working before with Samurai kernel but after the flash when selected it just gives me a black screen. :confused: QuickPic works fine, just the gallery app, and so far that is the only problem I've run across. Thanks again for a great kernel! :)
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
That's interesting about the Gallery app. Of course, it works fine on my phone! :D Might be a permissions issue buried somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Just an fyi, I downloaded IlluminatedOne's Alternate Gallery Fix and that works perfectly. So now I don't have any more problems to fix :( Everything works great at the moment!
[Captivate Android Development] Archpope:
I changed all of the partitions to ext4, and it seems to be working very well so far. Is there any reason why one would want to mix and match them? It seems it would just cause problems moving one from another, but there's still a lot I don't know about ext4.
[Captivate Android Development] droiduzr2:
My quadrant score is 2415 with the tweaks and ext 4 enabled.

@mtcarey...recovery=recovery suggestion MTCarey/CWM-Recovery

Also one minor thing.

Can you consider adding a little description as to what some of the things do.

Some are clear such as sound on and off but the tweaks etc... just give us a single liner...I liked the warning you gave about the SQL stuff...that is a good example of telling me what it will do and the downsides and hot to fix it.

It makes it much easier for us rookies to follow along and use your hard work.

What good is it making all these tweaks if we don't run them because we have no idea what they mean or do. I did get lost when it came to apply settings because of all the similar color text on the screen...I can see how someone misses the apply button. I like your messages at the end of operations...the status updates.

..............Your new CWMtCarey-Recovery is cool as usual.

see what I did there^^^

Can someone please lend him a Galaxy Tablet so he can make one for those.

Who lives in his area? If I did it would be done.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

2759 is my new Quadrant score.

I set the Governer to Performance and it dropped down to 1500 or so.

I set it back to On Demand and I get higher scores.

Overclocked to 1.2 with Tegrak.
[Captivate Android Development] joonair:
Hey mtcarey,

if I flash this kernal over Illuminance 3.0 (which has samurai kernal & pikachu's thunderbolt tweaks), does the thunderbolt tweak revert? if so, do I just flash it again?
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
It shouldn't override anything. If so, just re-flash Thunderbolt.
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
What do you mean by "the tweaks"? as far as I can see you can use Jsmokey, EXistZ, juwes, maladroit, or syscorps but only one.

edit: nvm tested myself.. hit almost 2600 using maladroit.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Oooow, I like that one MT!! :eek: How about 'CwMtcarey-Recovery'???:D
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
You can also "roll your own" tweaks... just drop a file in /system/etc/cwm5sc/tweaks and give it a unique name so it won't be overwritten. It will show up in CwM for selection.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Worth serious consideration!
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
We are getting black screen between at&t logo and Galaxy S animation for really a long time. (it is hard to understand that phone is booting).

Did you notice that too?
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
I can't even get past the at&t logo =/
[Captivate Android Development] 24fan4life:
Yeah, I am getting the black screen between the AT&T, and boot animation too. Started after I CWM'd v6.01. The first time it lasted so long that I thought I bricked my phone, pulled my battery, went back to stock, back through the whole process to get back to Fusion XII, and it did it again after loading v6.01. This time I let it set, and it did finally startup correctly. Though it still has the black screen whenever I reboot, so bad that the second part of my boot animation barely plays before getting to my home screen. Also having problems with Market when searching, and loading My Apps page. Market was working fine with the KK2 Corn Kernel.

Edit: Market is working ok now. Must have just been lagging before.
[Captivate Android Development] sfernandez:
i saw that also but i re added my bootanimation.zip file and everything works correctly..i just tried it right now
[Captivate Android Development] 24fan4life:
Thank you!

Only thing is, now my custom PowerOn.wav is not starting to play unitl the boot animation is almost done playing. Tried deleting my PowerOn.wav, replacing it like I did with the bootanimation.zip, but it's still off about the same.
[Captivate Android Development] sfernandez:
Your welcome...go into recovery an make sure bootanimation sound is set to on..its under tweaks i believe..if u search for it its there
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
If it's a first boot after a partition format conversion, boot will take much longer than usual while it rebuilds the dalvik cache. There are also a few things going on before "boot animation" that might cause a slight delay with ext* partitions... first, e2fsck is run on each to ensure they are "healthy", then there is a check to determine if the journal needs to be added or removed. Usually this consumes about a second or two. Then whatever "injected tweaks" have been selected get processed. I did managed to speed up the start of the animation by moving it to the head of the line in init.rc and starting it immediately rather than wait for the kernel to signal it. Animation starts up pretty quick now... you'll see it in next version.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
They will never really be completely in sync since they are separate processes.
[Captivate Android Development] crandy2:
The alternative gallery fix worked for a day for me , then it was back to the dark screen :confused:

Oh well there is always quicpic
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Did you wipe data from Gallery app first before installing the alternative fix?
[Captivate Android Development] crandy2:
Well I didn't the first time, but I just cleared data and reflashed it,and gallery is working again. Will see if it continues that way.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
No problem, hope it works for you. I haven't had any more problems with mine since the flash. :)
[Captivate Android Development] crandy2:
Well 4 hours later and gallery just gives me a black screen again. The fix just doesn't last for me.
[Captivate Android Development] :
So Vellamo is made by Qualcomm to benchmark phones, and I ran it using the setup in my sig, over clocked to 1.3 ghz and it scores way higher than even the Galaxy S II LTE! :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Strange I am running Beta 1 ICS from ICSSGS and I am getting about 19 hours of life from my battery now. Well, I understand that ICS is still developmental, but I hope you can play with from time to time. Your new kernel looks great.

PS I had to clear the batterystats in order start getting normal readings. I really could use a kernel with init.d and good form of CWM. I don't really understand the difference between MTD and EXT4 all that much.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I'll have to try that one.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I saw they used it to test the iPhone 4S, and that it was made by Qualcomm, so it is probably better than quadrant, but I know nothing so... :/
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
I was on alpha 7 / 7.5 and getting about 6 hours! I later read that a bug was keeping the processor running at 30% all the time. Sounds like they fixed it in beta 1. I really liked ICS, but for now I'll stick with I897 GB....
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I think I'll wait till I can get a Galaxy Nexus before I try ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Yea, beta 1 is really smooth. Very few problems other than market incompatiblities and a few bluetooth problems. On alpha 7 my processor was never running over 25% and a normal 19%. I am going to try beta 2, and fixed the dpi problem before I flashed it so I will see how it goes in a little.
[Captivate Android Development] Cdub5:
Is the newest version compatible with a kh3 rom? Sorry if this has been asked already.
[Captivate Android Development] -Thrive-:
Yes, best kernel ever for KH3
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Yes - works great with KH3. I've used Pinnacle with it.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
hey someone just told me your corn kernel wont install on my Effin Eh rom, due to build.prop issue. I dont know where or how he got the issue. i have never tried your kernel and am away from being able to test and fingure out right now. I imagine its because the canadian captivate ( NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL) is I896 instead of i897. could you fix to include the i896 as well? thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
So, ur kernel (v6.01) will work through all the i897 leaks back to KH3 ?? And what about KF1 ?? Just curious and that's awesome if that is so. And is there a short answer for how that is possible? Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
I believe most kernels are backward compatible (off course upto GB only) and I am sure that will work on KF1 too. Same thing goes with I9000 kernels, as I have used DarkCore kernel 4.0 (JVT) on I9000 based ROMs all the way back to JVP (or even earlier, whatever was 2.3.3) although I didn't try it for long but it seemed to be working at first glance.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
The CwM package install script has a script assert checking for I897. I'll remove it in the next version.
[Captivate Android Development] nugget68:
I am running illuminance 3.0.1 with lag fix, should I disable before going with corn?
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Naw!, Corn takes care of itself. Just dl, cwm install, reboot, good to go. :)
[Captivate Android Development] nugget68:
sounds good thanks...
[Captivate Android Development] mfdemicco:
I think there's a problem with file browsing when in recovery. If I want to choose a zip file to install, I can't browse to the contents of another folder in /sdcard (e.g., /sdcard/download/). It just returns me back to /sdcard. So, any zip file you want to install has to be in the /sdcard directory.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
thats wierd, never ever encounterred that. try reinstalling the kernel
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Works fine for me... it will only bounce you out of a folder if it doesn't contain any zips or sub-directories.
