So far so good!

I followed the flash instructions to flash this Kernal - flashed rom -boot - shut down then flashed kernal = when it booted after flashing the kernal - It took forever to boot up - and then when it finally did, it had the words "SAFE" in the lower left corner of the screen - and the picture of a kernal of candy corn on the screen - :-) no other boot animation played (the usual ICS 6 Bootanimation did not play)I then stareted getting all kinds of fc's -

I shut down and am re-flashing the rom and Kernel (The Rom is ICS V6) and the second time thru it seemed to work - I have been on CM7 which I LOVE _ but I thought I would play around with this ROM and Kernel while we wait for the next CM7 Update - so far, everytnig seems great -

thanks!

awesome kernel. I've been waiting for a voodoo sound compatible Gingerbread kernel for ages.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Same here I love having my music super loud lol

Just flashed on thunderhawk seems to b working great I notice the key lag is completely gone

And I wanna see if there's any reboots so ill llet u know over the next couple of days what happens

Having Some Issues

I am still having some FC Issues and don't know if it is the result of flashing the Kernel or the rom? (ICSv6) I had flashed that rom some time ago and didn't have issues with FC's - but I am not quite sure what to expect from the Kernel -

I followed instructions and got a ton of FCs after the first attempt of flashing so I did it again - wiped 3 times - data/cache/delvick - then flash rom - then flash kernel - and FC"s started after about 5 minutes the second time.

I put up with the FC's for a little bit just to see what other options I would have if I ever got this working - I tried to flash a boot animation I had used on a different rom - (it was a sanim.zip file) and I could not get it to work - It is a flashable file I had used many times before - ? Does the Kernel prevent flashing Boot Animations? (the last time I tried running this ROM I was able to flash this same Boot animation just fine - but for some reason, now it wont work ?

Prior to trying this kernel and the ICS rom this time, I had been on CM7 - I had also converted to EXT4 and flashed the new Kerenel when I was using CM7 - so I didn't think I would have a problem flashing this rom or kernel)Was I mistaken?

Did I miss a step or something? Your thoughts are appreciated

Thanks, I'll give this a shot since I'm back to rooted stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
how come when you flash this kernal, you lose gmail? i'm using acs ICS v6 rom, tried it twice, both times lost gmail. I finally got it reinstalled without FC's, first time I got it reinstalled and everything was force closing, market wouldn't connect etc.

second time I restored gmail from backup and luckily market and everything works now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Doesn't touch gmail.

sent from my cm7-ified epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
The only thing I can think of was gmail was somewhere it shouldn't have been (though it might not have worked then anyway) or that something needed space he didn't have and over wrote it.

Most likely though I'd file this under post hoc ergo propter hoc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
well two different times it did it using acs ics, and earlier I turned the phone off and it wouldn't boot back up, just froze at the candy corn animation.

maybe it doesn't like ACS ICS, don't know, I couldn't even restore my nandroid backup as that hung as well, had to reflash acs ICS and then restore data to get my phone working again.

I turned the phone off as battery status was showing gps status using 87% when it wasn't on, assuming it was just a glitch in the display, but figured a restart wouldn't hurt.

Thanks for posting that. I was about to say that it was you guys were having bad shutdowns. The fcs and missing apps have nothing to do with this amazing kernel. BTW, do I have permission to include a modified version of this in my rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] motog35:
I plan on flashing this kernel tonight as well, to fix the Keyboard LAG, and my phone will be perfect.

With that said, I am using ACS V6, is there anything I have to wipe in CWM before flashing the kernel?

Sorry for the newb question and thanks in advance for the reply.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Does that mean journaling actually is off in Ics v6?

IS THAT A MISTER CANDY CORN?! haha i laughed when i first saw that. nice touch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
well I have the original kernal now in acs ICS and gmail is there and not disappearing, so it definately had something to do with this kernal. maybe something with the kernal and rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tonysohn:
The kernel flash file (NOT kernal btw) only copies zImage file if I understand correctly. How could that affect gmail*
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
So I flashed this over thunderhawk last night and today I had 2 reboots.. other than that everything is perfect keyboard is great

The reboots might be cuz I put my phone to 100-400 mhz on conservative?? But I want the longest battery life possible lol I had to undervolt it lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Yes. It is off by default.
[Epic 4G Android Development] motog35:
Is there anything I have to WIPE in CWM prior to flashing this KERNEL? Or just flash and boot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Looks like you found the linux safemode ;]

I've seen that once before, can't remember what I was doing and why it happened.

Sorry about the FC's and gmail.. I'll explain in a bit, all will make sense.

The cwm zip will clear dalvik and cache for you so, no you don't have to wipe anything.

To all the ppl with fc's and such I'm sorry about that I'll explain fully in a bit.

And everyone "defending" the kernel... thanks but it is my fault. =[

[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
don't be so hard on yourself , nube - at least you're trying ........... now hurry up and fix the darn think :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
I can't fix your darn think! ;]

OK so on to the issue at hand..

"Ensuring there is room for busybox and root".

That's how my kernel messes with gmail...

Here's my reasoning for removing those apps.

You can get them from the market, they will more than likely update causing it to be installed to /data/app anyway, or they were unneeded to begin with (i.e. Term1~5).

What I didn't think about / realize is that there may be conflicts with any data that's already saved.

Simply re-installing gmail from the market wont clear the data that was left over from when it was installed in /system/app.

You would have to install it, remove it (which should remove it's data), and then install it again.

I realize now that this is not optimal, and is more than likely causing issues. Sorry for that (and not mentioning it in the OP).

For people experiencing issues with FC's other than those apps that are being removed from /system/app...

Did any of you start with EC05, flashed a rom (that does data backup / restore), then flashed the kernel?

Or used another form of auto backup / restore?

If so I would guess the FC's are from the transferred data...

You could try running "fix permissions" from the ClockworkMod recovery "advanced" menu, but I'm not sure it will help.

You're the man nubecoder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
for me, i have been using acs ics v6. I backed up with nandroid, just in case and flashed the kernal, gmail was gone, installed gmail from market, wouldn't work, sync problems and other things were causing issues. restored my backup of nandroid, flashed kernel and then i restored gmail this time with titanium backup, wiped data in various places through titanium backup and no FC's, was running fine for a bit. but gps status was showing 87% usage in about phone battery stats. even though it was off. I even force closed it to be sure. I figured that was probably a display glitch but it doesn't seem to show up if I don't start gps status, figuring I would confirm its a display glitch, I turned off the phone. when I went to restart, the phone wouldn't boot again. just sat at the little candy corn screen.

back to the nandroid backup, restored it, still wouldn't boot, now hung at samsung screen. finally reflashed acsics and it booted. then restored data from nandroid.

using ACS recovery if that matters.

also I believe that CM7 kernel has spare parts battery history stats, will we get those in this kernel? haven't seen them in any GB Kernel besides cm7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Or, move certain apps (Gmail, Maps, etc.) directly to /data/app for the user, with the update name.

SEND_LOG "Moving Google Apps from /system/app to data/app"

/sbin/busybox mv -f /system/app/Gmail.apk /data/app/com.google.android.gm-1.apk
/sbin/busybox mv -f /system/app/Maps.apk /data/app/com.android.apps.maps.-1.apk

Allowing user to remove said app if they choose. Should also avoid FC issues.

and if you're that hard pressed for space , then dump them in a tmp file with updated names on the sd, then pull them back in after the fact.

Dropped Calls/Bluetooth

I was able to flash this kernel successfully last night on CK's Urban Warefare Rom -No FCs - all looked good and I was hoping it would fix a problem I have had with every EH17 ROM I have tried - EXCEPT CM7 that is - when I use my bluetooth connected headset or bluetooth in my car - the calls drop and I get a soft reboot after a minute or two. I was hoping the kernel might fix that issue but no such luck - -

This never happened with previous GB Leaks - and does not happen on CM7.

I have no idea why this happens - I don't know if it is related to the kernel - the rom - the GB Leak - the color of the sky - or what - all I know is it is very frustrating and puzzleing that it never happened before EH17 - and doesnt happen on CM7 -

I have tried every fix suggested by those much smarter than me and nothing seems to work - I am grateful for CM 7 not only because it doesn't happen there but also because it is a great ROM - I just wish I had more options -

I am willing to try anything again if it looks like it will work - I know this is going to sound like a NUBE question - but does the Kernel have anything to do with why this happens or is it just a mystery? AND has anyone found any other fix that seems to work consistently? (I tried the "set cpu/tegrak" fix some others had luck with and it didn't work for me at all ) IS this related to the kernel or something totaly different?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i'm guessing you are using a theme, that is most likely doing it. hurricane worked with bluetooth on eh17, and acs ics works fine on bluetooth calls, i wouldn't be able to use it otherwise. I believe the urban rom worked for me too when i didn't flash a theme or AIO or anything else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Permission

Oh, and... Permission to use this Kernel in a ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
As best as I can recall - yes, I am using a theme - which I always did on EHO6 - EG22 - etc - so there is something in the theme that is breaking the bluetooth calls? Any idea what?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Sorry I haven't responded to your pms... work is keeping me very busy lately.

Yes, feel free to use my work as you like (that goes for anything I've done), just do me a favor and put a link to the thread here if you would.

[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
nope, i'm not a developer, but I had the same problem when i used urban rom and was flashing hotspot and AIO, then i used hurricane and no issue. then i believe i used urban again without anything added and it worked. but i can tell you for sure that acs ics works. if you add a theme or anything, then I don't know what will happen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hienkhieu:
Total agree with you. ACS ICS theme got me in trouble with bluetooth call. By the way, my rom is Stock EH17 + stability fixes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kynolin:
I tried this out with ACS ICS v6, and everything was working great, but then of course the one thing I tried showing off to my friends (SixAxis Bluetooth support) didn't work. I'm going to download a fresh copy today and play with it some more. I just wanted to make people aware. SixAxis Bluetooth did work on the fresh install of ACS ICS v6, before I changed the kernel.

Issues I've had so far (I'm not saying they're directly caused by the kernel; they're just things I've noticed.):

SixAxis Bluetooth

Bluetooth call audio was very fuzzy/noisy sounding while my 4G was connected. I turned off 4G and it was fine. I'll try it again later today, if I remember while I'm in a good 4G area downtown again.

This is probably most noobish question in the thread but will this be compatible with MIUI? I seen someone say they have 4g on this kernel as well.

Please go easy on me lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Good example of why I stopped using Odin a long time ago.

It's in the list of "/system/app"s that get removed. You should be able to re-install it from the market.

The "removed system apps" related issues will be addressed in the next build, sorry for the trouble.

OMFG YOU FREAKING NUBE!!!

^ me going easy on you. ;]

To answer your question, no this will not support MIUI.

Not until I build an "aosp compatible" version.

I'm hoping to get some things done this weekend.

[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
Puahahha Looking forward to it. I miss having 4g since I get a good signal with it and some apps wont use 3g if im away from wifi

+1 for being easy on me:p
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
The aosp compatible version of this kernel will not fix / add 4G (WIMAX) to CM7 or MIUI.

That's just not how it works, sorry.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Starfox:
Question, when you add UV support, which app would we use to control it? Unfortunately Tegrak free does not allow voltage control, and I don't think it works with GB anyway.

Anyone using this with EG22 Stock? I have yet to find a stable stock-like ROM on the EH-series yet, and on EG22 it caused my Epic to reboot minutes after boot.

With all the latest releases most eh17 gb roms are the best... CM7, stockish by Hoffman, acs ics by Marcusants, hurricane all of them run great specialy now with nubernel the reboots are gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Starfox:
I tried Stocky-ish, found out that it replaced too many built-in apps and didn't have busybox, also it likes to wipe /data on install. CM7 doesn't interest me, neither does themeing aka ICS-like. Looking at Starsky, seems to be a bit better in keeping "stock-like" philosophy.

I've been running EH06 radio on a ext4 deodex'ed EG22, other than the keypress issue it's dead stable. Anyway, if/when nubernel supports UV it would be nice to do it without resorting to a paid app.

Hey Nube! Finally got a chance to run your kernel. Nice job! Have you tried it on Bonsai B17? How is the support for changing bootanimation coming along?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Haven't had a chance to test it on any roms other than the "stock" EH17 leak.

I'm about to do that now.

The boot animation stuff is done, system apps are handled better (moved to data, configurable, etc), su version check added ("stock" EH17 contains a su binary that breaks superuser).

[edit]

v0.0.1 is released.

[/edit]

=]
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Updated OPs, read through them please, there's some new stuff going on in there.

The new sys_app handling is now customizable, read through the features list for more info.

Tested on the "stock" EH17 leak and ACS ICS v6.

Note to ACS ICS users:

You can fix your busybox by running these commands:

bb_remove

bb_install

reboot​

That should fix up some problems (kernel init scripts not getting run properly, bash not getting installed, etc).

Other than the broken busybox, I saw no issues flashing this kernel on top of a fresh install of ACS ICS v6.

Will be testing on Bonsai B17 as soon as I wake up tomorrow (I expect good results).

=]
[Epic 4G Android Development] tonysohn:
Just one thing to add for noobs.

Those commands should be entered from the "Terminal Emulator" (install from market if u don't it).

Also, you should run the command "su" before running those commands.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Ha I was thinking of doing that today as well. I was hoping it would fix the gapps issue with market, voice and others.

I didn't put 0.1 on yet but tried GPS and couldn't get any satellites without reflashing the GPS fix. Is it included in this? Maybe I just needed a reboot?

And can I just substitute the zimage in the B17 flash with yours? Got a toilet to fix at home today then I can look at it before the Giants game. Great job!

Another note, added Tegrak at 1.2Ghz and got 2835 on Quadrant....whooo!
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
for the less technical among us, if I'm running the original version of this Kernel, what advantage would I see flashing the new one? so far been running fine on acsics on the original version, no reboots, just wish I could see the stats in spare parts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
Not that I know about everything that's added. But ICS bootanimation now shows up, you can boot to acs 4 clockworkmod through the power menu also I believe he's fixed the phone.apk problem and anyother system/app problems that might have occured on flashed with the original. Not that I ever had a problem with that lol.

Anyways, previously I could only boot to clockwork 3.1.0.1 but you fixed it for bml 8 recovery! (I think that's what mkasick called it) lol ur awesome. At least I think ur kernel did that... doesn't matter! Awesome! :D
