I have attached a boot.img with my SkyHigh 1.3 and your boot logo. :D

As I was told that I explain to much I am pretty sure you will find the 3 problems related to this issue yourself with ease. Just in case that the author who actually told me that nobody is interested in my essays was (and still is) talking total rubbish you might ask me for more details and I will benevolently deliver ;)

Otherwise he might be right in the end and you really already knew all this just like him ;)

Sorry for being rather polemic today and bothering you with my little dispute but I just couldn't resist to do this. You know who you have to complain to ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks allot! What did you do different then my instructions to make it work?

edit: pushed it to mmcblk0p8 but i still get the feacore logo :o

And the mistakes me be obvious (dont know what they are tho) but ive spent hours to fix it. but no succes
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
A lot or even pretty much everything, but I will give these details later.

That's impossible unless the kernel flash itself failed. The bootlogo is only inside the boot.img and I just redownloaded my attachment and verified: no feacore logo inside, only yours and the original samsung I9001 logo as backup file. So on your phone actually Phoenix kernel still must be active. Did you check the kernel version in android settings ?

You said you "pushed" it to "mmcblk0p8" what would be false and even impossible in this combination. Can you give the exact commands (copy & paste please) you used for installing the kernel ? You did it via adb I guess, then adb ROOT must be your first command, please give all commands you used (at least 4 are necessary).

No despair, I will come to the rescue ;)

I could enlist a lot of possible errors here now but it is much easier and faster for both of us if you just describe exactly what you did and I can dismiss all the other possibilities then (and there are a lot, believe me).
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
Brood why don't you try dd a zero to mmcblk0p8 cause sometimes data of the older kernel remains inside the phone, DD only writes the data from the input file to the output

so try this it should work

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

@skywalker

I have been using your kernel form a long time now, i wanted to ask you,does running the cpu at 1.8 ghz reduce the phones life ? cause i have the need for speed :D but at the same time am worried about this:o
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Got it working now also :) when im at home ill try to make it so the colors wont change that much at 8bit. because the android logo kinda has a somewhat "nasty" color
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
Well done and you already found one of the three related problems: color. Well, that's the obvious one but to enlighten you a little bit on this one: actually this has absolutely nothing to do with android, but it's an ordinary linux boot logo. And as such it allows 16 colors only while your logo has 32 ;)

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

I will answer that with another question:

will running your car with 120 mph instead of 80 mph reduce your car's life ?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
I know it has nothing to do with android :P i call it the android boot logo because it has an android on it :P. and it's pretty hard to make a nice logo with only 16 colors. ill try making an white outline only :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
Dude i don't understand your answer, a car or any other machine can be maintained or serviced but not a phone. so i guess that it really damages the phone :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Devices like to run on peek performance now and then, it makes them more awake ;) although it won't make your phone last longer but also i think it doesn't shorten it's lifetime by a serious matter. so i say keep oc. since the governor is only using max speed when it's needed it doesn't care
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Since the modem of KP4 is the best one (on battery life) I was thinking about including it in RC4. Good idea? or not
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] chasemyass:
if you think it`s betah I don`t see anything wrong abt using it ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes idd :)

quote from i9001 wiki page:

"MODEM/PHONE is independent of the OS contained in the PDA, making it possible to mix-and-match MODEM and PDA versions from different ROMs, sometimes jokingly referred to as "FrankenROM". This can be useful for example if a specific MODEM version has drivers that conserve the battery better. Currently the I9001 MODEM reported with the longest battery life is the one included in the 2.3.4 XXKP4 ROM. "
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] chasemyass:
Huh Can we get a cwm flashable package pretty please!!!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Not possible trough CWM but here is the odin package, choose it as the modem package and use standard AriesVE.ops

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Np. I've used it today only so far, but im already satisfied with it :) its a keeper for upcoming broodrom versions :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] diddsen:
@brood

I've read on the aroma-installer, but I find nothing concrete exactly how it works ... I understood just enough so that you can adapt his theme.

you know how that works and what does not consider for your rom?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
I tested the aroma installer once but it was just weird, didn't understood it all. guess I first had to read the instructions... But I wont integrate it in broodROM. Ive got my configurator and the first run setup tool. I think that those include enough customization to not even consider using the aroma installer
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Since the android smoking weed looked awful (because it can only contain 16 colors) I came up with this boot logo. which has only 2 colors. What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dr.wtf:
actually i'd really like something that's moving like your rc2 animation since sometimes after flashing the phone freezes on boot logo and i see if its frozen when the animation doesn't move anymore. but i can flash it with the configurator anyway...

you said somewhere that animations aren't possible but why does this actually work with the rc2 animation?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
That's because the rc1/2/3 animation is a "boot animation". this logo I made is a "boot logo" which replaces the default Samsung Galaxy S Logo / Feacore logo ;)

It's inside boot.img so flashing an other kernel would make it disappear

Of course you can still use boot animations ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dr.wtf:
so i mixed it up :D

the logo looks great
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
:) now let's try integrating it into boot.img without getting a hang on the samsung logo. using ubuntu now instead of cygwin, hope it works :rolleyes:

Edit: still doesn't work, spent hours configuring ubuntu but it doesn't seem to pay off :(
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
attach the boot logo
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Attached the PSD/RAW.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] FlorisNL:
Can I use every color for Bootanimation?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes, don't worry about that, I'm talking about the boot LOGO here ;). the Samsung Galaxy S Plus logo (or the well known Feacore phoenix logo) boot animations don't have limitations like a max amount of colors
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] FlorisNL:
ok, clear. is it possible to change the SAMSUNG logo (the first one)?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
I think not since I've never ever seen anyone that didn't had the original manufacturer logo. But I could be wrong

I think a customized boot logo / boot animation is plenty graphical customization for the boot sequence, implanting a boot logo isn't that easy also. (spent in total over 24 hours trying to get it working but still no success :X. I keep needing other people to fix it for me:o)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
brood this is skykernel v1.3 with your new bootlogo

i'll post he dropbox link can't upload directly.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] chasemyass:
So if I want to flash it I choose PDA option, right? Not one package...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
For modem firmware always select PHONE

BOOT=Your phones boot.img

PDA= system

CSC=Location variants, 3g settings etc

PHONE=(also calledRADIO/Modem) network, radio, wifi etc

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Unfortunately it doesn't go further then the samsung logo.

(did you get it working yourself?)

I used this:

LOL WTF
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
Brood don't you remember you have to dd zero first to get it working right:)

You don't need to mount

just do this in adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

reboot

sometimes you have to restart the phone after the dd zero step

wait i'll post some pictures

I have uploaded a cmw package
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Shoomy:
Great looking ROM, thanks Brood. Works flawless for me!

I installed ADW launcher as I like it more then TWlauncher, working great so far.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:
yeah, RC2 Beta is great :D

everything works totally smooth :D

thank you (:

thats a great christmas present ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Diabl0570:
this is still in a release candidate state right? when is the final version comming?

or is this release steable enough to run this 24/7 without any bugs?

i want to flash it but only if i know 100% sure everything works perfect.

however Great work BroodPlank. i am glad to see a simpel odin installer.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Zool_7:
I too like you. is waiting. :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomi555:
I have been using it since yesterday, had a little problem with installation, but it was solved easily, and after that I found no bugs, it's working just fine and fast, really great work by broodplank! :)

I don't know if that was intended, but didn't get Google Maps (although I saw them in data/app, had to install them separately. Other than that - bluetooth, 3g, wifi, satellite, everything is working.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
I noticed when I updated apps manually they dissappeared on the new installation because they moved to data/apps instead of system/apps. it will be fixed in final release of rc2.

and i must tell you that rc2 on go launcher with ics theme is fricking sweet ;)

more than enough ;) :
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] WilcoD:
I still can't install this rom, why is that???
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomi555:
Maybe try one more time, worked for me. Or flash stock XXKPS and then RC2.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] budakmaran:
i tested rc2 on xxkps..

1. clean install xxkps via Odin

2. flash rc2 via Odin

- after flash rc2, do not disconnect usb cable yet

3. got triangle logo

solution : pull out battery > disconnect usb cable from phone > insert battery back > connect the cable again. The phone reboot itself!!

4. turn off phone > enter cwm recovery > wipe data/factory reset > wipe cache > reboot..

NO FC (including market fc) at all!! NO HANG/REBOOTS into recovery!!

p/s : this is from my experienced flashing rc2..Cheers!!

2 colors is great.

I'd even prefer a more minmalistic and neutral bootscreen myself.

I don't hold a grudge against Apple and don't I want to be embarresed when my phone boots at work (cfr. previous version, with smoke ;)).
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
I mostly also prefer minimalistic designs/neutral designs, but after allot of tries in photoshop i came on this idea, the android-piss-apple image was just perfect for only keeping 2 colors, I've tried many other android images but they all became crappy as outcome. After 1 kernel flash the boot logo is gone so if you don't like it you can ditch it easily :P

LOL dude what phone are you using:D cause it works perfectly on my phone

do you restart the phone using the extended power menu ? maybe that's the culprit

the cmw package works fine with feacore recovery :)

do you have a bootanimation in your phone?

cause i don't
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Lol hehe, well i flashed it in recovery and then im not even able to make it to the extended power menu ;) After showing the custom logo it shows a black screen instead of the boot animation and restarts

Ill check it without boot animation

edit: also without boot animation it boot loops strangely
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
:confused:now i'm really confused it's strange that i does'nt work for you :(

can it be the kernel?

i'll try editing a fresh new boot.img form feacore pheonix

what firmware are you on RC3 V2 ?

i analysed skywalkers boot image yesterday its the same only with the new logo intergrated.

did the older boot.img work for you?

lol look dude i ain't soo good at playing detective but i'll try my best to rectify this problem :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
Brood i got it to work it's working perfectly with broodrom rc3 v2 with SKYhigh kernel v1.3, this time i flashed the boot.img using a script shell :) even the bootanimation plays :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks allot for your help :D. however i still get a hang at the boot logo.. and then after 10 sec reboot. I kinda thinking that the KP4 modem is the one that screws it up, im gonna test it with KQ1 modem now.

Also getting a hang with KQ1 Modem :S

and strangely every time it bootloops i get the battery charging logo instead of the samsung logo, but when i boot in recovery i get the right one :/

Think i have to reinstall my system completely
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
That maybe the problem cause i'm using rc3 v2 and it works fine, Strange but cool, when i reboot to recovery via the power menu the feacore logo appears (he sure knows how to take credit for his work lol):D

I'll try flashing the KP4 Modem, just give me the link :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Here is the modem file:

and the feacore logo also appears in recovery.img :P so when booting in recovery you only see it ^^
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
XXKP4 Modem doesn't seem to be the problem :confused: the rom works fine along with the bootlogo

I know why it bootloops it's because of thunderbolt :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
What does thunderbolt that the boot sequence doesn't like, Do you know that?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
see i tried the new thunderblot v2.6.1 so i'll go through TB thread, might find some clues.

I feel it's some incompatibility between sky kernel and TB

skyhigh kernel was actually meant to be used with Cyanogenmod,

i'll make a logo cmw zip with feacore kernel.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
It's some problem with skykernel, feacore kernel with the rc4 boot logo works fine.

It's confirmed skyhighkernel v1.3 with thunderbolt 2.6.1 & LMK addon results bootloop.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
Actually it is possible, Samsung did it obviously ;)

But the reason why you never saw it so far is quite easy as well:

trying this is one of the best methods to hard brick your phone and you must be mad to even try it !

Technically the logo is somewhere in the lower mmc blocks (mmcblk0p0-7) and the xda wiki tells you to never touch these. And there is a very good reason for this serious warning: YardE was bold enough to try it anyway and hard bricked his phone consequently although he is a developer and coder and usually knows what he is doing !

This should be warning enough for all of you here.

I totally agree on that :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Explains why almost all custom boot.img files weren't working for me today ;)

And thanks allot btw for making allot of boot.img files for me ^^

If YardE bricks his phone it's serious business haha, i know i may never touch mmcblk0p0-7 :) I don't want to try since it can lead to hardbricks :p
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
That's not right at all. Zeroing mmcblk0p8 is totally redundant and has cosmetic effects only. And slows down the process of flashing.

Therefore manveru0 removed this routine from his FeaMod update since V1.3 ;)

While it is right that mounting /system for flashing kernel is redundant it could be necessary to mount sdcard or emmc. This is mandatory for example when you flash the kernel in recovery mode. But you can also use the CWM menus then to mount ;)

That's right, I only exchanged the boot logo with a correctly converted version.

In fact there is a high chance that Thunderbolt is the reason.

Pretty much everything !!! Thunderbolt, Adrenaline Shot and all tweaks like that directly interfere with kernel settings namely they change vital kernel settings in a running system. There is a nearly 100 per cent chance that this has more or less good or bad impact on the running system and the booting sequence as well. IMHO every developer and modder must know exactly what these tweaks do or otherwise MUST NOT use them !

They are meant for (modded) stock kernels only, developers and modders alike must port and test every single tweak for themselves if they want to use some of them.

That's exactly what I did, I already integrated a small amount of similar tweaks in SkyHigh 1.3, which have a high chance to be incompatible to certain Thunderbolt tweaks. It's the very same reason why Thunderbolt and Adrenaline Shot are NOT compatible !

Not this version, this is meant to be used with stock ROMs only. That means without kernel customizations by Thunderbolt because Thunderbolt won't work on a stock kernel anyway (no init.d support !) If you are using a stock kernel with init.d support please notice that this one is actually a modded kernel, a so called custom kernel and no stock kernel anymore !

And like I just answered in the CM port thread, SkyHigh is meant for use with plain stock ROMs only. This also means instead of stock kernel and with a plain unmodified stock system and so on. Chances to be incompatible with custom kernels and system tweaks - especially those in init.d - are rather high.

It's not a problem with SkyHigh kernel, it's a problem with throwing too much incompatible kernel and system tweaks into the same pot with actually not knowing what you are doing there. And FeaCore kernel works well because it hasn't integrated those tweaks. Just as I already said - SkyHigh has all the features of the latest FeaCore plus some own by myself. You just found some of the additional features, being rather performant without Thunderbolt but also being incompatible with it ;)

To verify all of that try my attached boot.img, it works perfectly on stock ROMs without Thunderbolt and Adrenaline shot. Use it with your ROM with Thunderbolt (will most probably fail) and without (just rename init.d to something else before rebooting) and it should work flawlessly ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks allot for explaining all that :p, you can clearly see that you really have allot of knowledge about android (all problems are so clearly explained ;))

(already used the thanks button 8 times today so +1 )
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] wintel_mac:
Hm, I made a contrary experience while experimenting with some kernels on stock roms without thunderbolt or things like that. Twice when I did not zero my partition I had instability problems with my phone. When I dd'ed it out and used the exact same boot.img those problems were gone. Maybe some incidental behaviour?
