You're assuming that the common members (non-devs) of this forum know what the kernel does on our phones. I'm afraid you'll have to elaborate.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
Good for a laugh. Thanks!

:D Made me laugh...

And by "common member," I don't suppose you are equating "users" with "commoners"... right?? LOL

Please, allow me to elaborate...

We agree that there are both "DEVs" and "POUs" on this site. I am thinking that we needed a TLA (Three-Letter Acronym) for "Plain Old User"... Kind of how, "Plain old Java objects" became known as "POJOs"... :cool:

I make no assumption... I was taught, to ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME.

But I am a bit presumptuous... I presume that those that will answer are those who understand the question.

You can flash a kernel without a rom like this:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Flashing_a_kernel

As far as making a kernel, you're gonna have to edit the source code or decompress a kernel and look through the filesystem, make edits and recompress it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
Right!

We are looking forward to it. Sounds like an adventure worth exploring!

Any suggestions on features which

you

would want to see in a Kernel?

I believe the "rooted" feature would be one. Also, personally, I want the latest CWM. These are 2 examples that we've identified. And, before jumping in, we'd like to identify, explicitly, all features that we're going to target. Given such a list, we could prioritize the features so that we would know where to focus our very-precious time...

Ok, Guys i used the Viruos Inquisition and that was the ICS release and the first one for ICS. I decided to go ahead and try out the Virtuous Quattro...I guess i made a stupid mistake when doing so because when i wiped the Virtuos Inquisition and went ahed and installed the Virtuous Quattro..the phone boots up but as soon as you get the Virtuous Quattro logo it starts the animation of it and freezes right there following with a reboot. Now i hope the device is not bricked or in this case if it is i can fix it, i can go to the recover and stuff, But right now i have no idea how to get this going. I wiped the Virtuous Quattro and the phone boots up with that white htc screen, and keeps rebooting..Please walk me through this if you feel merciful for my idiocy..
[HTC Sensation] CursedBat:
Hello :)

Now, don't worry, this is not what is defined as "Bricked".

I can see that you have did a Full wipe of your ROM, which means, currently, your phone do not have a Firmware supported ROM installed on it.

Here are the ways you could try that will/may solve your issue.

1. Reboot your device into recovery and Connect it VIA USB and copy 3.24 RUU & Virtuous Quattro into your ROOT SD Card folder.

2. Flash 3.24 RUU from HERE, MAKE SURE YOUR SUPERCID is 11111111 - your device should reboot after Installing. Pull battery after it Reboots.

3.Eject your SD card and Reboot your device into bootloader, Select boot into recovery and insert the SD card back. Install the latest Virtuous Quattro from HERE.

4.Reboot.

This should work. :) Do keep me posted & thank me if it helped!

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] Kirthaal:
Thank you for your reply. I tried to do what you stated above, a when i tryed to update the firmware it says

Incorrect CID, I have no clue how to check that CID now :(
[HTC Sensation] TechnoIsMyReligion:
Hello,

this is the manual to get the super CID! Just scroll down to step 4. It`s pretty easy.

Good luck !:)
[HTC Sensation] CursedBat:
Alright, After reviewing your problem, Have you tried reflashing Viruos Inquisition? Does it boot?

Hopefully I can help.
[HTC Sensation] Kirthaal:
This is what i had to do to make it work. I downloaded the ADB tools so i can use the cmd promot in windows and wrote the cid to 11111111, it said tmobl or something like that before. I flashed the firmware to the one CursedBat linked and the latest one and the device update the firmware. Also here's the catch when it starts updating the firmware, it will reboot, and continue updating so whoever has a similiar problem make sure you don't shut your device off at that time, it will display update completed and provide you with the option to shut the device. It may take a bit to complete so be sure to be patient and let it work it's magic. Virtues Quattro works well so far for me.

P.S i just read your post TechnoIsMyReligion! I am not sure how i end up being in that post you linked before, but you provided a correct solution as well. I should had done that before :) Thanks for your replies. When it displayed incorrect CID for me when tried to update the firmware i realized i need to look for a solution with CID.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid

2a. If your CID and MID are supported by default, navigate to point 3.

2b. If your CID or MID is not supported by default, do this: (you do it at your own risk)

2c. Open PG58IMG.zip (don't extract it)

2d. Open android-info.txt in text editor

2e. Add your cidnum: <your CID> or modelid: <your MID> to the list, save file and close archive

3. Place PG58IMG.zip on your SD card

4. Boot your device holding power button + vol down button

5. Follow instructions on the screen

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimson12:
I'm currently running gummy nex 0.7.0 and Franco's 14.4 nightly. I have no undervolt settings and currently running a 350min 920max conservative hot plug on setup. I sent a text early today and my phone rebooted pretty quickly. I didn't really think anything of it until I checked my battery an hour or so later. It dropped quite a bit during the reboot. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight into what happened here? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Ive seen this before and likely due to the fuel gauge reads voltage only rather than coulomb counting. Unfortunately we dont have access to the exact calculation used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Hello Nexans,

Long story short:

I was applying SGP's flex to my phone yesterday. Too much water maybe, my phone started acting weird after installation, really dimmed display, touch screen not registering touch, and etc.

So I opened up the phone per ifixit's instruction, attempting to see if there's really any water in there so I can dry the components up.

At the time of opening it up, didn't notice any water at all, while the screen still remains not responding. At the end, the phone finally failed to boot (white Google screen looping). So I put everything back on, and finally leave it looping on my desk while I went out trying to have some fun in order to blow away this Saturday night sadness.

Magically, when I returned home after ~5 hrs, the phone is in the system and the touch screen works perfectly again. Also, the screen is showing images normally again. I happily went to bed with my phone.

This [sad] morning, volume button won't work. Opened it up, found that the volume switch (which was soldered onto the mobo) was ripped off (probably by careless me). Refer to this pic here. EDIT: sorry I still can't post outside link.

Here's the image: guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/2k6S4vvKPZh2IsB2.huge

Now I'm left alone: the phone is a imported GSM, seemingly not supported by anyone in the U.S. right now. Moreover, since the volume switch is soldered onto the mobo, and I am very sure I will ruin the phone if I try to re-solder the switch onto the mobo (it's some finest soldering on there), not to mention that the Cable Ribbon of the volume switch seems to be ruined as well, I think my only option is to get a totally new mobo that has volume switch soldered onto it.

To summarize:

1.Do I need a new mobo, if I find no one to help me repair the phone?

2.Where can I get a new mobo? (searched on eBay w/o results)

3.Will changing the mobo affect anything? I assume the data and system would be lost, but how about the identity of my phone?

4.If there's one agent in the U.S. that you think would take care of this uncostly (~$100?), who would you refer? Maybe Verizon, Samsung, or someone else?

5.If all of the above attempts fail at the end, I'll be considering selling it at a deep discount to someone who's got his way of restoring this phone, where would you recommend for me to go find such a talented Nexus lover?:o Will eBay fulfill this purpose the best?

Finally, thanks for you, the fellow members, for your help in advance. I hate myself for opening up the phone, now, thinking that the phone may have recovered for good w/o being opened up by me. Now that it has recovered with a broken volume switch in its body, making this issue much more complicated :mad:

Again, thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mush03:
shoulda turned off the phone right after it started acting funky and put it in a bag a rice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
it sounds like you jumped the gun and opened the phone prematurely. How long did you wait to open up the phone after you installed the screen guard?

As far as your situation, I would probably cut my losses, get what I can out of it on eBay and buy another one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Should have :( I also shouldve stayed with a dry apply film. Being a perfectionist, I almost knew I would ruin the phone by over spraying the application solution for a easier and better application:mad:

Actually, immediately. I didn't know the gaps around the glass screen is also the entrance for the water to get into the phone. I thought only headset speaker could let some water into it. After disassembled the phone, I realized that the water can easily get into the phone thru the gap, which leads the water right onto the mobo underneath the glass... Again, I didn't notice any water inside the phone, but i could be just moisture that's playing some nasty game here. I also did some intensive swing and tossing of the phone to get water out, until there's no water coming out.

Anyhow, I just went to Verizon store, and they said they wouldn't touch anything GSM, and said the only option for me seems to contact Samsung. Or as you said, I could sell it on eBay. Don't know how much it's worth though :(:(:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vyruz1986:
I had to open up my Gnex last week because i dropped it in a puddle of water while getting out of my car...

If i remember correctly, the vol rocker is glued to the internal part that comes out with the screen and most of the electronics, so i cant imagine how you would have torn it off...

Its connectected to the main pcb via a connector though, sure you didn't just unplug the connector??

You could also try to go without the volume rocker, use some kind of widget for volume control, not ideal but cheaper than a new Gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Ooo, I'm sorry for both of us...

Yes, the volume switch is double-side taped, but the other end (the cable ribbon itself) is soldered onto the back of the mobo in my phone. I don't know how or what force ripped it off of the mobo. The cable ribbon is torn pretty harshly... I'll upload a pic when I make past the 10 posts and "unlock all capabilities"..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Also, did you notice any "sequela" after the incident? Does your phone function good now? There's time that on my phone the touch screen does not respond/register touch anymore suddenly. I usually just leave it standby with screen off. Usually, after 1+ hr, when I turn the screen back on, the touchscreen works fine...

Driving me crazy, this bad luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Guys,

Here's another issue... How do I get into fastboot mode if my volume rockers don't work..?

Tried Toolkit V4.1 and it keeps saying waiting for device..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Install the app called quickboot, it lets u go direcrly into recovery or bootloader without holding volume keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Thank you sir, I'll give it a try!

OOPS.. I'm not rooted...so it's a no-go :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tinsukE:
Hey cswithxda, have you found a way to fix it without replacing the mobo?

I live in Brazil, a friend of mine brought one bought at Negri electronics at US for me. It suffered an accident (part of it involves someone pushing down a window over it) and the screen cracked.

I've sent it back to Negri for RMA Repair to fix the screen and they did it, but before shipping back, found that the volume buttons weren't working. They canceled the shipment and found out that the volume cable was broken (the screen crack was near to the volume buttons, so I guess it wasn't them that broke it while fixing the screen).

Well, I've actually paid for the screen repair and ship back, but they claim that their repair facility was unable to fix the volume... any light over this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
If you have all the drivers type 'fastboot reboot bootloader' in the command prompt
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cswithxda:
Sorry I can't help buddy, at the time I owned the device, it was still pretty new, so I couldn't find a source that actually sells GNex motherboard. I think the only way to fix a ripped rocker button is to replace mobo if you don't find anywhere to solder it for you.

Important part is this, for whoever got the chance, buy it from Amazon! The rep was kind enough to issue me an RMA after knowing my ripped volume rocker is my own fault, and while I was actually trying to ask him about where to send it to fix. They just gave me an RMA and let me send it back and get anything else I want. Amazon customer service another miracle!

Thanks for the help! altho i returned the device :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperSpacecadet:
I know there are a thousand threads for this but I wanted to ask anyway as this seems to be a bit different of a problem.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant GT-i9000 (Bell Mobility, Canada Edition).

I am running Darkyrom V10.3 (NO! my problem has nothing to do with Darkyrom)

The device is Rooted via Superoneclick

Here is the problem:

My back button has always seemed a bit glitchy and one of my friend told me to hit *#*#2663*#*# and hit "Touch key FW update".

I did that and my back button was acting even worse so I went back in and hit "TSP FW update".

Now my buttons do not work at all! I read somewhere that old me to do a factory reset but I really REALLY don't want to as I cant even backup my stuff in Titanium Backup Root because I have no menu key.

Both times the update came back with a pass and there was no error.

Is there a solution?

The info on that link worked, apparently you have to install an old version of the operating system then go back in and update FW again.

It doesn't work once you have updated the kernel to a newwer version, I had to backdate.

Too many changes to the framework. Best bet is try a stock 2.17 rom with beats added in. Otherwise you need to pull your framework files and mix it in yourself.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mien651:
I dont know of any 2.17 rom with integrated beats
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
You would be better off just flashing back to the previous RUU.

Several reasons why it would be pointless to make a “flashable” for this…

The first and most notable is the fact that it goes way more in depth than having a simple little preset equalizer. You need a kernel with the beats drivers built into it. The linux kernel is the function of android that handles all audio processing. Your sounds drivers have frequency ranges which enable your phone to process sound. Chad’s older kernels were the only kernels that had this done properly. If you want to improve sound, you would be better off using one of those.

My personal experience has been virus’ eternity 1.4.2 ROM plus chad’s REV09 or RC3 beats kernels is the best sounding ROM for music. Without his kernels, music (to me anyways) sounds like garbage through these phones.

Unless you can verify the actual sound processing capability of the new RUU, don’t waste your time with beats. Just download a free equalizer from the market and call it good.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mien651:
Ahh gotcha now with a beats kernel you arent goin to have true beats can you postlinks to your setup so i can download
