You can easily flash the boot.img with my QuickFlasher (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574149)

or

What you can do without the flasher:

1. extract the rar and place the boot.img file on your sdcard

2. now download terminal emulator or use adb and enter the following commands:

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

and you're done ;)

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Hm, doesn't this mean that you also can create a Wirkung cm9 with carcradle Support bye making a cm9 Version with Stock Samsung Kernel ? Maybe this Kernel would also help with other Problems @ CM9

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes you could, but there is no official ICS Samsung kernel for the i9001 so that's impossible
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Ok, then I missunderstood you as you sayed, that all Roms work with the same zImage and the only difference is the ramdisk.

AOSP kernel SkyHigh v2?

Hello skywalker01!

I'm working on a AOSP gingerbread custom rom and I really liked your kernel. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957492)

I made a flashable zip with all features and tweaks from your 1.4d kernel pack.

Could you be so kind and develope on?

would be really nice...

Any new upgrade to this kernel? This is the best I used so far!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] alexisguitarra:
Waoo.. This kernel was made by gods excellent performance for games, no lags at all. Thanks bro.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
Well, that's not a question of kindness but simply lack of time. I also would love to continue my work but it is VERY time consuming (I spent over 500 hours in about 4 months for i9001 development) and due to unexpected developments in my personal life I no longer have that much spare time now, not even by far. I explained that several times and my spare time gets even lesser and lesser, so I just can't.

But you should be aware of the fact that the AOSP ROM you are modding is an already modded version of the CM7 alpha build that YardE and I created back in January to April 2012. mazen modded our builds - WITH my explicit agreement BTW (although it's open source and therefore NOT really necessary but he asked for it) - but he didn't build himself any ROM neither AOSP nor CM7.

This is at least technically a very important difference and if you want to learn more about the details of mazen's work and the differences of modding a prebuilt ROM and building a ROM from AOSP sources ("compiling") you should read texten's comments about this matter in mazen's original thread starting with page 130 here: ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639421&page=130

Well, they are not really kernel bugs but ROM bugs. But they can be worked around by kernel hacks and that's what mazen did or better said "adapted" from arco's CM9 kernel:

- about vibration problem: there is a kernel hack that works around the problem making vibration much stronger but still at a fixed strength. You'll find it in arco's CM9 thread and in his kernel sources on github and it also works with CM7. I tested that one successfully back in April or May and it was supposed to be integrated in SkyHigh V1.5 CM7 edition which unfortunately had a severe gfx bug after updating the adreno drivers and therefore was never released.

- about headset: there are at least two possible solutions; either a simple kernel hack again (same as vibration, already successfully tested with SkyHigh V1.5 beta CM7, see arco's CM9 for details) or the more sophisticated method: modify the according android listener service (can't remember the exact name) in CM7 source code and send a gerrit request to the CM developers

- incall volume bug: see my latest comment on this here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639421&page=136

All three problems are due to Samsung specific android modifications (CLOSED source, Samsung even claims copyright for this crappy mess), once again they don't care about standards and hack around in android sources to make their pathetic hardware work somehow more or less.

But on the other hand this is also a legal and efficient method to turn an open source operating system into a closed source modded ROM making the life of independent open source developers really hard and some people say that was actually the main purpose.

Hope that helps and I wish you the best of luck in all your efforts,

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rickvrolings:
sorry. But quick question. Does this kernel work with aosp/cm7?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] abhimukesh25:
No....!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tiberiuboboc:
It's a Gingerbread kernel not an ICS kernel, so the answer is no.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rickvrolings:
I meant aosp gingerbread/ cyanogenmod 7.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] abhimukesh25:
No its only work on samsung GB Rom...!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] DeuxEx:
It's working also on GingerRevenge 0.9 Rom! I think that this kernel will work on any GB custom ROM. But, just in case, you must make a back-up before install any new kernel/rom!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] rickvrolings:
GingerRevenge is based on stock firmware (correct me if i am wrong)

So that is no prove that this will work on cm7

I just read a bit on the q&a section in the OP. He said he would work on the cm7 version but he never finished it. So i am now sure that it wont work on cm7/aosp gingerbread
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
That's not quite right. I said I worked on a CM7 port together with YardE which is alpha only and discontinued by both of us.

But the SkyHigh kernel is also available for AOSP and CM7 (alpha) ROMs as well and in different versions up to 1.4d. Unfortunately it has no own thread and I can't remember the exact location so just use the search function of the forum and you should at least find a V1.3 and a V1.4d GB AOSP version of SkyHigh.

But beware: ALL available GB AOSP & CM7 ROMs for the i9001 are based on YardE's and my ALPHA CM7 ROM which still has a lot of bugs/problems. And these problems are NOT kernel related like I explained in mazen's AOSP and CM7 thread (which are mods of our ALPHA CM7 ROM), these are ROM problems.

I also explained some status details of the SkyHigh kernel on the last page in post #499, did you read that ? ;)

BTW @metalrules321: castagnaIT, ivendor and broodplank are still developing their kernels, so if you want something updated which also comes with ICS or JB just have a look there. Oh, I see you already do. :angel:

So GB is outdated as 99% of all users here on xda-dev seem to think anyway, so why bothering about it ? ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Aldokazer:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] DeuxEx:
And the answer is ... NO! Sorry, I did not read that post. Of course, If you will change your mind, you will make a lot of people very happy. Thank you for your time!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
Well, I didn't change my mind but I had some spare time during the holiday season. And I actually spent a lot of this time for working on SkyHigh to upgrade it to kernel patchlevel 14 (2.6.35.7 -> 2.6.35.14).

This came along with a lot of problems since the 2.6.35.14 versions used for ICS and JB custom ROMs do NOT work with GB stock ROMs.

And to all developers: I'm NOT talking about the ramdisk but the kernel core itself. V1.4d and both 1.5 versions are using all the very same ramdisk ;)

But I finally managed to create a fully working version with the much more stable gpu driver of 2.6.35.14 and a second version with more RAM (376 MB). It's the same bigmem option that CastagnaIT uses in his ICS/JB kernel, BTW, just clicked thanks in your kernel thread CastagnaIT, great work !

The final result is SkyHigh V1.5 (and V1.5bm = BigMem edition). :victory:

I'm using V1.5bm for about two weeks now and didn't encounter any problems (except broken 720p video encoding with BigMem option like CastagnaIT said in his thread).

But I don't plan to publish it. This is due to several reasons:

1. I still don't have the time to support it or even improve it further. It was just an one time only holiday opportunity to update it and it definitely is my final development for the I9001 since I will upgrade my phone hardware in a few months.

2. when I look at the number of posts and users in the GB ROM threads there are not so much GB users anymore. Many posts are very old and outdated and users of newer GB ROMs like GingerRevenge are quite limited.

3. when I look at all the signatures here I only see ICS and mostly JB ROMs, so according to signatures GB ROM users seem also to be very rare.

4. you are using GingerRevenge but combined with a stock kernel although hiej offers 3 different custom kernels that are tested and work with his ROM.

So I don't see the "lot of people" that will be very happy with a new version of SkyHigh as nobody seems to use it anymore.

Even you don't use it according to your signature so why do you need an update ?

And would you use it with the knowledge that there won't be any support ?

I strongly doubt that and I don't want to disappoint anybody by using this without getting any support.

Additionally the changes are not so spectacular that V1.4d users must install V1.5. Except if you use an app that needs lots of memory and crashes continously due to lack of such memory. I know only one such app and it's already infamous for bad programming and permanent crashes on any android platform. And it's a mostly unknown and unpopular "tiny" game ;)

If anybody is still reading this thread, what do you think ?

Should I really publish the updated kernel under these conditions ?

That means provided as is, no change requests accepted, no bug fixes (just in case that somebody should ever find a bug :fingers-crossed: ), no support at all (at least not by me) ? :confused:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] EB20XY:

Skywalker01, thank You for your great kernel. I am using your kernel since June 2012 with Crybert's rom Crybernation. For me is GB rom better, than ics and jb. There are problems with camera and video 720p, so I after trying them, always come back to GB with Your kernel. Thanx ;)

SkyHigh 1.5 with bigmem

Hi sky,

you know that i always admired your work so do i now - i don't know if i proposed the bigmem-extension for your kernel here or in another thread, but i think this is a feature worth that revalues your awesome kernel :good:

I experienced on my GB Rom more and more laggs and as i found out they always corresponded with the low available memory. LMK didn't seem to do the trick - Now i'm on ICS with a bigmem kernel and my systems flows without a lag.

So this is my advice:

Publish your kernel :D You make a lot of people happy, i always read about people staying with GB due to the better battery performance. Don't bother concerning your support - there always will be a time when you cannot support your work due to different reasons (work, wife ;) , family etc. ) And if people got problems with the new release they always can go back to your former kernel.

Give it a try - maybe the new kernel recognizes the card dock :confused:

Cheers and Thx a lot for all your work and support

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] BzArEx:
It's good to see you around Skywalker. Many thanks for your hard work.

GB ain't dead it's still the only os named as "stable" (more or less). CM 9 and 10 are good and many people using them because those are cool, that counts also me. But when i want stability, no problems with calls and wake up, better power management (eg trips, weekends in mountains) I still prefer GB.

And when I install GB and also have some time after it in my phone lands trustworthy old SkyHigh 1.4D. Skywalker if you created new better, faster, less or the same battery consuming kernel I will see it gladly in my phone! :good:

I see only one flaw :o I won't use BigMem for one simple reason when i need gb, also like to have easy means to record sth ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] alessia3:
If your only concern is "no support" for your kernel, just make it clear on first post and give to all the 9001 community your last "gift"... how can we be disappointed by having a chance to test the last version of your kernel?

Many thanks anyway to you for your great work till now.

And, BTW, this is a developer forum, so users here are supposed to have all the knowledge (at least) to use a kernel without support, dont you think? ;)

Thanks again for your work!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
Thanks for your answers and appreciation. :highfive:

alessia3 is mentioning the most important concerns from my point of view so I will answer directly to his post.

I always thought and said that several times: developer threads are NOT meant for support or even complains and custom kernels are for experienced users only.

BUT the reality is (or at least was) totally different:

1. I was flamed a lot of times for just saying these simple facts that anybody can read himself here in the forum rules (I even provided the links to the rules); I would be glad if everybody would think like you but my experience here last year says something different :(

2. I spent MORE time on kernel support than on kernel development ! :(

And I don't mean giving instructions to install it like you say. The instructions are all in post #1 and I already say there that I won't react to any questions that are already answered in the first 3 posts. But testing by users always includes answering these test reports by the developer.

And the main issue was answering those report posts, mostly of alleged bugs. And guess what: except for the sdcard deep sleep issue on a few devices NONE of these reported problems were kernel related.

But even after tons of explanations a lot of users didn't want to understand/believe and kept bothering me. :rolleyes:

There is even a good example in the answers above: BilboPC is talking about removing BeatsAudio from the kernel and using DSPManager !

Can you please tell him why this is complete nonsense ? I don't have the time and also not the patience anymore to do this kind of stuff.

That's what I mean by "no support" anymore. :silly:

And I'm still not convinced by all your answers so far, most answers even confirm my assumptions that SkyHigh isn't used and needed anymore.

But I will wait for more answers and rethink about it at the weekend...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Hi there skywalker01 ^^, I see you're still watching the forums now and then.

I'm still very grateful about your hints from the past, imagine we (as in the i9001 community) still didn't knew that AOSP/CM and Samsung kernels have the same zImage :silly: (the reason why I modified the ramdisk of your kernel for AOSP support). Also you might have noticed that i'm kinda obsessed with getting an actual AOSP build, the ones compiled so far are built with the compiler cache of a previous compiled CM build (:eek: make clean = large time waste ;)).

This night I compiled AOSP 4.0.4 by trial and error with the original AOSP environment (with some hardware, external libs and framework files from CM environment), I almost managed to get a fully compiled rom, but the question is will it work, It may be compiled completely but still don't boot at all. So far I've noticed that the AOSP apps can be used with the original CM9 framework, without any problems. But still I would like to have the real AOSP framework, hope someday I will be able to compile a working build.

I know that the AOSP environment is probably the worst of all regarding devices compatibility. (Since CM always gets prio, it will be available for many devices, including i9001) Which brings me a step closer, but it's still a whole adventure to compile AOSP and get working output

My current setup:

Base: android-4.0.4_r2.1

Complete hardware fork from CM9

Some folder of /external from CM9

/frameworks/compile from CM9

Customized device spec

Also with the needed customizations, else it won't even start.

I also tried this:

Base: CM9

Packages and frameworks parts from android-4.0.4_r2.1

Also no success. I think the real solution would be if I would downgrade the CM9 environment completely, to only keep aosp left, but that would take me over a year. So I'm still figuring out what I will do.

However, good to see you on the forum, skyhigh always was the best Gingerbread kernel without doubt, smooth, battery friendly and stable :)

Still a great job:good:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] alessia3:
ok, i'm not trying to force you, i'm only trying to explain, to you and to all, what is my point of view. and just because i really appreciate your work.

BilboPC (sorry Bilbo, nothing personal against you) is not even asking for "support", he's simply writing nonsenses.

in other words, there is no need to give "support" to (poor) Bilbo (sorry Bilbo), no need to answer to posts as these, that's all.

so, if you are concerned by "Bilbo" questions, just dont care. smart people will understand, and none of them will accuse you for not having "supported" these users.

back to the point of the discussion, i understood what you are trying to explain to us. people are very strange, lazy and pretentious. i'm not a dev but i know it anyways...

BUT if you assume that almost nobody is using GB and/or almost nobody will use your kernel, so (i think that) almost nobody will ask for your support (so no even need to support, and that's what you are asking to all of us before releasing last kernel, right?)

in this case, why dont post your kernel :victory::D

hope to read from you soon

ah, i was going to forget:

@BilboPC, beatsaudio drivers are not in kernel...

please try to read more in this forum before asking a dev to do some nonsense work. devs here give us their work for free, so big respect before asking them to work on something, it's not good to ask, you asked even nonsenses! moreover, keep in mind that skywalker01 is a skilled dev, so maximum respect, dont you think?

Bilbo, forgive me for the above answer, but i think that you (and, to be honest, not only you in this forum) need to understand why skywalker01 cited your last post in that way.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] BilboPC:
Sorry, it was my mistake. I was confused.

One day I tried some custom ROM and Kernel SkyHigh. Audio drivers were obviously in ROM not in KERNEL.
