ShadowKernel 1.0.4

I just flashed this so I could play around with ADB, which did not work with the version in the original 1.0.11 SleeperROM.

I took a backup before starting, but performed no other preparatory steps. Are there any steps you are supposed to take before flashing a/this kernel? Are there any steps after the flash?

Also, I installed just the 1.0.4 version, not the 1.0.4+ version - I am not sure what the difference is, but I think the + edition allows overclocking? Can anyone confirm this?

Hmmm - the phone booted up the first time, but a reboot has hung. Once I pulled the battery and restarted, it came back up again. I guess I missed a step ;-)

Thanks for any help/explanations

BUT, does your phone charge when it is off and plugged in? Or does it just sit at the about to charge screen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] webslasher:
it showed the big battery , with the dot, it is charging and animated allright. Download mode is working and notification led is normal, it just the usb connected in the notification bar is showing plugged then unplugged all over the time.

After installing shadowkernel 1.0.4+ and 3 times cache and dalvik wipe, now the usb notification just stuck there, and wont go away.

EDIT : NOPE, the notification going on and off erratically again, i'd say it has something to do with the sdcard, because the moment i remove my sdcard, all went to normal, tried another sdcard, the problem return.

just great, when i choose tethering as default action when usb is connected, the usb is stuck at connected and my pc wont recognize the phone, it's look like stuck in some condition. I cant do adb command also.

EDIT2 : trying samurai.katana kernel now, usb notification still not fixed, but it look like more stable ? (usb connected notification is still going on off, but not as often in shadowkernel) not sure, still testing.

i'm out of idea now, somebody can help me?

WiFi Issue

Running the latest ROM with ShadowKernal 1.0.3. Haven't tried 1.0.4 yet but after reading a few posts doubt would make a difference.

Apparently with the latest ROM update which I did a full flash not just update WiFi quit working. It would see my WiFi access point and keeps trying to get IP and then it cycles again and again.

From reading other posts seems I would have to ODIN back to stock and then go through several steps. Is there an area in the system folders I can wipe the WiFi settings so it can recreate the config files or messed up file permissions?

Any ideas?

[Epic 4G Android Development] buldamoosh:
I have posted this issue before. Here I will explain with a bit more detail.

I installed the full version with a clean wipe. I installed all of my apps and did what I usually do on a clean install. Every time I update (read 1.0.9 to 1.0.10 to 1.0.11) all of my apps installed to sdcard disappear. I hate to whine and ***** about a great distro that I love dearly but...

I haven't tried other distros with apps installed to sdcard. Has anyone else seen the same issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
I think the same happened to me, my apps which were previously on the SD Card, were not restored to the SD Card when restored with Titanium Backup. I had to move them back afterwards.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ColinPM:
WiFi Woes

My WiFi would turn on, scan, fail to see my network, then turn off. I eventually had to install the kernel-GB-3a.tar.md5 kernel from here because installing the shadowkernel 1.0.4+ kernel would not repair my WiFi. I also tried the cleanGB kernel and that did not help either.

FYI, while researching this I found that the WiFi configuration is in /etc/wifi/, but even though I had exactly the same files there as in my son's Epic, mine would not work, while his stock GB did, so I doubt that it is those files (unless there is a permission problem, maybe?).

Running the aLogCat app told me that the wireless supplicant was broken - but I don't know how to fix that. (yet :-) )

Here is the directory listing from our phones:

242,468 bcm4329_aps.bin

241,746 bcm4329_mfg.bin

249,478 bcm4329_sta.bin

149 bcm_supp.conf

1,217 nvram_mfg.txt

1,216 nvram_net.txt

1,015 wifi.conf

149 wpa_supplicant.conf

Hope that helps

Thank you for posting this. I will go ahead and give that kernal a try. Would love to keep using ShadowKernal but I guess something got amissed during compiling the code.

About any wifi issues, if you can use terminal emulator run the following, reboot and see if it helps:

su -c busybox rm -rf /data/misc

Let me know if it helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] webslasher:
how is the usb notification fix going ? i'm afraid it's eating my battery not letting my phone sleep, the moment i unplug my epic to anything (charger / pc ), usb notification keep reappearing and disappear ! when i leave it like that , then it's just stuck at connected. It even can do a file transfer mode without anything connected!

nobody has this issue ? i suppose this is a hardware issue, and im doomed
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
This happened to me on srf.... it turned out that there was "crud" in the charging por thinkin something was getting connected and disconnected when there wasn't... clean out your charging port and it should fix the problem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
I've had this issue intermittently. I will try to clean my usb connection port as mentioned in the post above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] webslasher:
how do you clean this little hole ? might as well try it

mine only happen when sdcard is present. any chance these thing "connected"?

hope it will work for us..

sorry it happen with sdcard removed, the phone think it is still connected to usb even when i unplugged the usb cable, and i can still check the tether or activating mass storage mode. damn

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!

SleeperROM 1.1.10 is now available

This Version will work with what ever you're already running, be it EXT4, RFS, or MTD (yaffs2). It is Non-Wiping. It's sort of Beta, I need feedback.

This is technically a minor update, but now making it available to those on MTD.
​

CHANGELOG

1.1.01 01/04/2012

- ShadowKernel 1.0.4+ (BML / TW-MTD)

- BML (EXT4/RFS) / TW MTD (Yaffs2) Fully Compatible - Brand New Updater routine

- RETURN OF NON-WIPING

- Custom Android Terminal Emulator w/ Bash 4.1 As Default Shell Environment

- VideoPlayer Low Battery Fix [RandomKing]

- Removed Feedly, SamsungApps from Full

Auto Convert?

Will this convert me to MTD if im on Ext4?

also after flashing this rom my haptic feedback no longer works for the capacitive buttons
[Epic 4G Android Development] jzh797s:
My Hapatic feedback is completely gone... actually vibrating all together... even on phone calls.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
What rom were you guys running before flashing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cameljock:
My haptic feedback and vibration is also gone. I did a clean wipe before flashing (factory wipe, dalvik and cache).

There are also duplicate entries in the ringtone and notification tone lists.

edit: I upgraded from your previous rom .
[Epic 4G Android Development] ColinPM:
WiFi fix suggestion and other observations

Hi Sensei - I got past the problem by using another kernel. I have since reinstalled the 1.0.11 update and ShadowKernel 1.0.4+ and the WiFi problems did not recur. Thus, I did not use that WiFi fix (but now that I know about it, it will come in handy). Learnt a lot about adb and the phone in the last few days.

Also, FYI, I am getting frequent corruption on my SD card when I move apps to SD, resulting in what looks like a boot loop. The symptoms are that the phone starts up, it works very very slowly for 2 minutes, then the screen goes black and I get a haptic feedback bump, and then the screen instantly comes on to the lock screen again - it is almost more a logoff than a reboot. The 2 minute time is extremely consistent.

It took me a couple of days to work out that the SD card is what caused it - I dropped the SD card into Windows and it said the file system was messed up, and the bootloop stopped without the SD card. This has now happened a few times, with 2 separate SD cards (and I did full i.e. not quick reformats on them both). Either I have a hardware issue, or there is an issue in moving apps to SD.

When I get time (and if he lets me), I'll try experimenting with my son's phone and my SD cards.

Still loving this ROM...

Hi Guys

FYI - while I was researching another problem last week-end I saw that MANY other people on other ROMS in other XDA forums also reported that their haptic feedback had gone (I think they were all after switching to MTD versions of their ROMS). Sorry, no links or solutions, just an FYI.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
With an fresh install from EC05, I wasn't able to go past the Samsung screen. I did another fresh install and the same thing happened. There was something odd I saw right after I installed the ROM before I rebooted. It said it couldn't find recovery logs in E:/ and some other stuff. This happened both times after I installed the ROM.

That's what it says when I boot up CWM5 after installing the ROM(Despite the fact that it stays at the Samsung screen, I was able to go to CWM).

By the way, I liked your old updating script better, prepping the patient :-P

Anyone with the haptic feedback problem, try flashing his updated bash mod and see if that fixes it.

As far as the ROM download link, I think he pulled it temporarily to fix a couple things. I'm sure he'll put it back up soon.

Anyone upgrade from 1.0.11 to 1.1.0 and see any considerable difference?

Reboots with ShadowKernal 1.0.4 (non OC/UV)

I know this probably belongs to the ShadowKernal thread but want to run this by you guys first as I too use the SleeperROM. Ever since I've flashed my phone to ShadowKernal 1.0.4 I get random reboots. It doesn't happen with 1.0.3 so after I reflashed it again to 1.0.4 I cleared the partition cache, divik (sp) and every bit of cache wipe except for battery stats. It still does it.

Anybody having this issue or it's just me?

Darkk
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Are you using regular version or plus version? If using plus, I have released an update that fixes a couple faulty cpu frequencies. That could be part of the problem. If you are using the regular version, the only difference between 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 was a voodoo color tweak, so I don't think that could be a culprit. If you can get me the kmesg after a reboot, I can take a look for errors (I forget the folder they are stored in, /something/something/dropbox, I'll find it).

EDIT: they are stored in /data/system/dropbox. Compressed files named SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG@blahblah.gz. After a reboot you can look there and grab the newest one.

SleeperROM 1.1.02 1/12/2012

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!

Back from the fringes, I present:

SleeperROM 1.1.02

Major changes in this version. Most of them under the hood.​

CHANGELOG

1.1.02 01/12/2012

- MAJOR Install script overhaul

- Haptic/vibrate fixed (Thanks bbelos for the diags!)

- ShadowKernel 1.0.6+ BML/0.4+ MTD

- Big Updates to Bash Environment, SU binary

- Extended Power Menu reboot fix [toadlife]

- Updated Titanium Backup, Google Translate, Google QuickSearch, GPS Test, Flash Player, ES File Explorer

- Proper First-Boot install of QuickPic (no more market update required before first use), TinyFlashlight, ES File Explorer, Swype Beta, Google Goggles

- Removed Google Docs from Full Version

- General ROM Package cleanups reduced final /system install by 15MB

A note about the first-boot:

On first boot, be gentle with the phone until you see all of the "Media Scanning" notifications stop appearing. This is because some apps are being installed at first boot with a brand new never before seen script, rather than preinstalled into /data, so now apps like QuickPic work from the get-go.

A note about the Swype beta:

Since it gets installed at first boot on a clean install, you will have to go into Settings > Locale and Text > [Check Swype > Select Input Method and choose swype]. If you were using it previously, nothing should change.

Sorry about the week long hiatus! but this includes a LOT of important fixes​
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Kick ass, thanks for the update. Dont apologize for anything, you got a kick ass ROM, it takes time to improve something that works so well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Agreed! I'm actually surprised you found things to make better because this was already one of the top roms out... this may make yours the best yet!
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
I am having some problems installing, installation aborted code7, i flashed the sd card fix and tried to reflash and no go. I went back to last update and was able to install fine. I wiped everything and still a no go. Am i missing something??
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
aborted code 7, there should be a message included with it, either it's not recognizing the phone (build.prop issue) output before the abort would be "READING PATIENT RECORDS.. DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" or the file systems don't match (i.e. one RFS partition and other EXT4 partitions) (output before the abort is "ERROR: INCONSISTENT FILESYSTEMS"... this can happen when doing advanced restores of the data partition between flashes of an RFS rom, and an EXT rom... This is more of a consistency check to make the installer work. If you want to do a clean install try CWM REcovery > Mounts and Storage > Format Data, Format System, Format Cache. that should bring them all back to a matching state.

Let me know if you are on MTD, because there may be something to be ironed out, i've accounted for a few scenarios but the MTD situation is kind of wild-west at the moment

I'm at this moment working on a new clean-wipe tool just in case
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I've gotten a few reports about the Failed consistency check when coming from CleanGB MTD, i'm looking into it right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Sorry, it did read INCONSISTENT FILESYSTEMS, and yes I am on MTD. I was pumped up last night too, let the ironing out process begin. I was running the previous build before this update, and i did try to reformat system, data, cache, and still no good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:

1.1.02a - additional MTD compatibility in installer attempted, See OP​

[Epic 4G Android Development] tydynrain:
Even though I converted to MTD/yaffs2 via MIUI, I'm getting the same install error, so I figured I'd post my output for the partition check as well. I've tried installing MIUI, CyanogenMod, and the MTD version of CleanGB and they all install just fine.

Thanks, I was kinda thinking that is what happened.

Installed and is running ok. Is voodoo color set back to stock settings? Things look more blue to me. The phone seems slower though. Quadrant scores are way down and playing 3d games seems laggy.

And now the phone will not wake up. Never had this problem before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Sensei includes a data file which presets the voodoo color settings different than the kernel defaults. If you're coming from a different ROM, this explains why it's different than you're used to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Thanks bbelos! i did in fact forget to update the OP with the new md5...

I also updated the voodoo color settings, specifically the multipliers to be brighter, and possibly bluer, it looks clean to me, it's possible it may have a bluish look due to the lighting in the room at the time i was setting it - if it looks to blue, dial down the BLUE gamma multiplier ONLY in voodoo color just a TIIIIINY bit, makes a big difference - that way you don't have to mess with it too much, you'll see that slider is way farther to the right than the others, which should be right where you want them, the only real variable is the blue.

I did leave out the SD card tweak, as i've noticed an increased incidence of corruption on the sdcard with that tweak in place. I'll keep an eye on it.

As far as the phone seeming laggy, does it also feel warm, poor battery AND scrolling seems choppy? if so, open up Android Terminal and enter

sudo sdcardstuck

it will check your sdcard for stuck/corrupted files. You then have the option to delete or exit so that you can try to salvage them yourself. It's possible you'll see /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/..... as a result. this is a common issue and is safe to delete, which is why i included that script. Let me know how it goes

I just completely formatted my SD card. Ran sdcardstuck after a complete fresh install of 1.1.02a anyway, and it said it didn't find any corrupt files.

My highest quadrant score was 2253 with the CPU clock locked at 1300 MHz. I've gotten as high as 3500 with 1.0.09. I do think something was wrong with my first install of 1.1.02a though. This fresh install seems smoother. And playing asphalt 6 on the phone is super smooth, so I'm gonna run with 02a for a while I think!

[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
There's still a small bug in his install script in the posted version when coming from an RFS ROM (or stock in your case). You can get it to work if you first flash the RFS2EXT4.zip then flash the ROM (sorry, don't have the link right now, I'll try to find it unless someone beats me to it).

EDIT: get RFS2EXT4 here
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
You're on the latest ROM, 1.1.02a? That should work, hmm... If you're still on a previous version, you might try flashing his Ultimate Android Shell mod to get the latest terminal setup. I suppose if you are on the latest ROM, maybe flashing the Shell mod would also fix the problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
thank you bbelos, that was the problem!
