[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone3974:
I found a new method to transfer contact data from Android to iPhone, I think you guys might have the same problem as me, so I decided to share it with you.

I have used HTC desire for nearly one and half years and all the contact data in this device is so important for me. Then this year my brother gave me an iPhone 4S as my 21 years birthday present. It was a great gift, however, the problem comes to me that how I can transfer my contact data to my new iPhone 4s.

I searched Google and got some ways such as: using the Sim card, syncing to Google contacts; using Synkontact; or import and export my contact data using Moborobo.

I don’t like to upload my contact data to any unknown internet space, so I choose not to use google contacts and synkontact. Why? Because I don’t trust any web storage space! So, Moborobo become my choice. I can safely export contact data on my HTC desire to my computer and import it to my lovely iPhone 4s. Ok, it’s done! Easy and safe.

If you get other ways to transfer data between iPhone and Android, please tell me!

[HTC Inspire 4G] kBTWOFOUR:
I would really appreciate it if I could get help fixing my GPS and MMS. I have search the forum, but some of the solutions don't work. I am running aospX 1.0.0-AR31 on my Inspire 4G with S-Off. I have flash Inspiremod and AGPS PATCH. The GPS was working fine when I rooted the phone, but I think it stopped working after I flashed Revolution HD.

I have tried using different rooms after a full swipe with no luck. Another problem I am having is I can send MMS, but I can't download a MMS when someone sends me a MMS. I click on download and nothing happens.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
You do know that to download mms your data needs to be on. It does not work over wifi. If data is on and mms don't work then check apn settings. For correct settings go to icecoldsandwich forum in desirehd on page 1598 you will see what mobile net apn sgould look like. For gps try reflashing rom but don't flash the patch see if gps works then. Also don't flash inspire mod I used to have aospx and never did and rom worked perfect for me.

So i powered off just using the power off option without holding the power button down for 30 seconds. 5 hours later i can't get my kindle fire to power back up. What do i need to do? I read that the backlight stays on unless you hold the power button for 30 seconds.

Hi all,

I am here to share another [How to] on flashing a kernel. There are quite a number of kernel available in our forum such as Cow Kernel, stock kernel, etc. They have different capability such as UV, OC and equipped with different governors too.

This tutorial will teach u how to flash a kernel easily.

HOW?

To flash a new kernel,

via adb shell

1) Download the kernel

It is as easy as just copy the boot.img from the ROM equipped with kernel u want.

2) Download the Wifi module dhd.ko

Copy dhd.ko from the ROM with kernel u want, it is under /system/etc/wifi

(without getting this, ur WIFI will not work)

3) Copy both files into your phone by using adb shell or simply copy them over from ur PC.

adb push boot.img /sdcard/download/
adb push dhd.ko /sdcard/download/

4) Flash to your phone

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/download/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

5) Copy dhd.ko to /system/etc/wifi/ via Root Explorer.

Reboot. DONE~

via CWM

1) Download the kernel u want from attachments.

2) Boot into recovery mode by pressing power+select+volume up bottons

3) Flash the zip and then Reboot

Just a personal experience, the XXLM8 and DXLM3 kernel give us better visual performance and make ur Temple Run smoother.

:)

Same advice, do at ur own risk. Remember to do a nandroid backup beforehand.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] climbatiz3:
Thanks bro...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] acelim23:
How about battery life? Which one is better, Cow's or XXLM8 kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Hyp3rh4ck:
in my opinion Cow kernel is the most performant, best benchmark scores and best ram management. XXLM8 has a better battery life and a good durability.

I personally prefer the Cow one couse of the performance.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] terifish:
In my opinion cow rom are best with benchmark point which is very high but not in real app performance..

I tested temple run on both rom, and xxlm8 just slightly faster than cow :)

And also battery life is longer with xxlm8..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] utingbato:
Can i flash the kernel on cwm? Im using black note hybrid 2..

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Terifish is correct. Cow kernel has better benchmark score but that is not true in real application. Overclocking doesn't improve the performance for gaming because that is actually related to GPU and ram management.

XXLM8 has been proven to have better gaming performance. U can personally experience it when playing Temple Run.

Theoretically, cow's kernel should give better battery life as it is undervolted.

U need to use adb shell for flashing it. Not sure whether a flashable zip can be created for this. Any expert can help on this?:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
I 2nd That.. :)

And this one too cuz when I using Cow rom a while ago , I put on standby it consume 1% for 4 hours , under normal use (wifi all day long, some call, sms, email , gaming ) still can hold more than 50 hours . . but change to others roms due to FC essue.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sparta20:
Can I put the XXLM8 kernel in the gingerbread miui?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yes, u can. Try to do a backup 1st。
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nunogilberto:
of course... i already did it... and it runs smoother!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
LOL~ Seems like XXLM8 is really a good kernel for our SGW at this moment.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] terifish:
really agree with you..

i'm very satisfied with my SGW battery performance with XXLM8 :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 1haumann1:
Which governor should be adjusted to save power and still have a good performance on XXLM8?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I suggest using CPU profile scheduler such as SetCPU. Use ondemand for normal usage and set powersave for screen off.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
I wonder that too... I'm not familiar with adb yet... CWM rules when it comes down to being "easy", hence safe, if you know what I mean... :D

I'm really excited to flash this kernel now...

I noticed that inside the nandroid backup folder there is a "boot.img", so, why can't we just exchange it by the one from XXLM8 and just restore it to have it flashed? I didn't do it yet because there is no turning back after messing with the boot.img...

I read this thread, but I'm still not confident enough to do it...

Does anyone know if my theory stands?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
No. U can't do that. If u replace the boot.img in a ROM zip, there will be md5 checksum mismatch error. U need to resign the zip again.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nunogilberto:
okay, if you want to try different kernels without using adb, attached are update zip for Cow kernel and XXLM8 kernel...

just put it on your sdcard, and install it through CWM recovery...

enjoy... :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rayleynes:
Hello to all, i want to flash the xxlm8 zip using cwm. But as mentioned do i still need to flash the wifi module? or is it already included in the zip file? not comfortable with adb as i might mess things up.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nunogilberto:
the specific wifi module for each kernel is already included in each update zip file... i tested both of the zip files, and i can switch kernel whenever i want... :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AsmirGT:
thanks a lot it's very simple :)

i flash xxlm8 kernel on my kezra value pack v1 that already use cow OC kernel.

it's not overclocked yet but it runs very smooth and there is more ram avialible

140/358 MB :D:D

the xxlm8 kernel seems to be the best kernet running on our SGW

sorry for my bed english :-)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nunogilberto:
you're very welcome, mate...

well, i'm just trying to help to make it simple for everyone who doesn't really familiar with adb shell... :)

yeah, i do agree... i think XXLM8 kernel is the best kernel for SGW so far... it's not overclockable, but it's smooth and the battery life is nice...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Wow, thanks for ur work. I will include this in the 1st post so that every other members can flash it via CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nunogilberto:
you're very welcome... and yes, please do that... :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
Thanks yewsiong! I was crazy enough to find that out, hahaha...

Thanks a lot nunogilberto! That makes our lives a lot easier... I never liked to depend on a pc to do the things I can do in the device itself... :D

By the way, how did you build those zip files? Is it simple? I'm just wondering in case we wanna flash another Kernel... So that we wouldn't need to bother you again... :D

Btw both of you have been thanked for all this effort!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rayleynes:
The zip files are great. Now i can change between my stock, cow, and xxlm8 kernels anytime i want to. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
LOL, creating those zip files are not very difficult. U can take one of the zips as template, manipulate the update script in META-INF folder by giving the correct instruction to the CWM so that it can obtain SU permission, mounting correct paths and move the files to specific location.

U can try it urself. But do make a backup before u attempt to flash any zip.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nunogilberto:
yewsiong was rite... it's not very difficult to create those zip...

here's the simple tutorial to do it:

what you need:

1. file compression tool (i recommend WinRAR or 7zip)

2. text editor (i recommend Notepad++)

what to do:

1. find an update zip as your template, then open it with file compression tool software, and keep the compression tool window open.

2. locate the files you want to replace inside the update zip, for example, you want to replace the boot.img, just drag and drop the desired boot.img from your file manager (windows explorer, for example) to the opened window of update zip in file compression tool, make sure you drag and drop the file to its right path on the update zip (for example, boot.img at /boot.img and dhd.ko at /system/etec/wifi/dhd.ko), and then press OK to confirm file(s) replacement inside the update zip.

3. at the opened update zip on the file compression tool window, navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and extract the updater-script file and open that file with the text editor, edit the script as needed. you can find the guide about the script command in the internet... just ask google... :D (but if you just want to edit the update zip i created with another boot.img and dhd.ko, you can skip this step)

4. after you finished editing the updater-script, save it and put it back to the update zip file just like in step 2.

that's all... actually, you can find the guide for creating/editing update zip anywhere in internet... once again, ask google... :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
That is great guys!

Thanks a lot, yewsiong and specially nunogilberto for the tutorial!

You guys are right, it ain't no rocket science, hahaha...

I really appreciate your time and endeavour for explaining me this...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Welcome~ we should treasure the spirit of sharing so everyone can learn to become developers. I am still learning. Should thank :)nunogilberto
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nunogilberto:
you're welcome dudes... yes, we should the spirit of sharing cause i'm still learning too here... :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sparta20:
Can I flash the cm9 kernel on the Xlm8 rom?

Joshua galaxy w
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I am afraid it is not compatible. If u really want to try, just extract the boot.img from cm9 ROM zip and replace it in either one of the flashable zip. Flash it and report to us~ GOOD LUCK~
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] haryobimo96:
hey i have question :D

which files are changed after the kernel update?? :confused:

and is there any backup for kernel. All i got is backup for rom, i'm not sure if this include old kernel. Is there any?? :o
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
the boot.img and dhd.ko (wifi module) will be changed. If u use cwm for backup, u will see a boot.img inside the nandroid, that means u have backup it every time.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
XXLM8 Kernel rules!!!

Guys, something that came to my attention today was that before flashing XXLM8 kernel the AnTuTu score was 2.737. If I had SuperCharger script running it would be 3.820.

Now, even after disabling SuperChager script, the score is still 3.820.

Isn't it great? Is this the best kernel or what?? :D

Could you guys tell the same improvement regarding AnTuTu score?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I guess ur device is still V6 supercharged. U need to un-supercharge it 1st then u will see the difference. This XXLM8 kernel doesn't give significant improvement in benchmarking but it shows better performance (obviously in Temple Run!!!).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
Yeah yewsiong... I knew that... Before posting I thought it'd be good to double check it... Then I made sure to:

• Unsupercharge it;

• Check if all SuperCharger files were deleted;

• Check if minfree values were restored to default;

• Wipe cache and Dalvik cache.

Then I ran AnTuTu and got the same score. :D

the funny thing is, I have no other tweak which could influence this result...

:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
some questions

just want to ask you guys on what is needed to do this. im only using

stock rom and i nver flashed anything before(except for the CMW5)..

im afraid that i might do something wrong. what else do i need to flash this kernel? my baseband is currently I8150DXLC1, thats the one that will be changed once i flash that kernel right? pls confirm :) thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Baseband and kernel are too different things. Baseband is the version of ur radio firmware which kernel governs ur cpu performance.

If u flash kernel, the kernel version will be change. Baseband will not be affected.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jiunks:
Sory if OOT... how can i get my kernel? i'm using DXLM3 and i wanna flash with XXLM8. and i need my old srock kernel if something happen... can i just copy from CWM backup or not?

Thanks in advance

Sent from my Wonder
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
oh i see.. so what do i need to flash this kernel? can i flash it with stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mike_kenji:
A question guys, it may sound stupid but i've been dying to know... is it possible to flash arco's cm9 kernel to other roms like stock gb rom or rio's??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
U need the

boot.img

which contains kernel and

dhd.ko

which is the wifi module.

So far, i guess no one has tried this out. Any tester? LOL
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mike_kenji:
Hahaha, i might be able to try... just teach me how to extract the kernel from cm9...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
If you meant how to do it, post # 18 shows the easiest way... And yes, you can flash it with stock rom... That's what I did... :D

Read this whole thread, it's worth it... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Suprisingly, I cant find dhd.ko in cm9 ROM. Only boot.img was found.

BTW, i don't think they are compatible for GB ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
yeah i did it on CMW just a few minutes ago.. wew i thought i was on boot loop, the Samsung Galaxy W GT-I850 last about 2 mins then i thought it was bricked, i tried to take the battery out then turn it on and it worked thank god XD any idea why that happened to me? i just install it and haven't wipe data or cache coz its not in the steps if im not mistaken. i sweat at that moment XD
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
LOL, u just need to wait a bit more. Ur device needs sometimes to calibrate with new kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mike_kenji:
tsk tsk... too bad... i was going to try arco's cm9 kernel but it's not compatible...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
Are the 2 mentioned kernels compatible with asian firmware? Im at stock DXLM3 atm. Or do I have to flash custom rom so as to flash any of the kernels? Thanks in advance. :beer:.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
HAHA, does restarting the phone while on boot can affect the performance?

i played Temple Run and imo it became more laggy >< is there a way to flash my previous kernel back? and how to do it? i did a nandroid backup but i ddnt include the .android_secure, only the data, system, boot and the other one(i forgot XD) can i restore it if i restore the back up? and what is that supercharged? THE-E told me before that our W doesnt need that though some still use it, what can it do on our phone buddy?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yes, they are compatible with any GB firmware no matter stock or custom. BTW, if u are using stock DXLM3 ROM, u should just keep on using DXLM3 kernel, it is the latest. If u need DXLM3 kernel, i can upload it when i am free.

Which kernel are u using now? XXLM8 and DXLM3 give better performance than Cow Kernel.

Of course u can restore the backup. .android_secure is not very important as it will be regenerated when the apps are restored from TB. In my opinion, just get the boot.img and dhd.ko from ur nandroid backup and replace them into the CWM zip u have downloaded and flash it via CWM. Then u get ur previous kernel back.

V6 Supercharger is a RAM management mod which can release RAM and killing unnecessary apps in memory. U can apply it to stock ROM and any other custom ROM if u want. What THE-E told u should be some custom ROM has already been tweak on RAM management, but they still can be supercharged based on ur requirement by using V6 supercharger.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
hey a.fontenele did you use the script manager for internal/external swapping?

our phone is almost the same XD both stock rom, latest kernel, except the sd card :D i only use 2gb sd card XD how much is your SD Card? and while researching i found some tips that a 32 or 16gb class 4 sandisk is the best sd card on samsung phones, the class 10 cost more but on their study about the read/write speed its almost the same, i just forgot where i found that thread but its here in xda.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
NOPE. Class 10 read/write speed won't be the same as Class 4. They didn't use the correct sdcard path while benchamarking, so what they got were the benchmark for INTERNAL SD which is Class 4. Don't be misled by those posts.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
im using the XXLM8 right now.. whats better among the two of them that you mentioned? maybe ill try to return back to my previous kernel when i experience some more lags when playing, is that supercharger different from rom manager? that can choose among options on what you want your rom to be(its the balance, hard gaming, multitasking one) is it better? and i remember there is someone that has a high benchmark and you told him that he must be using the supercharger, my benchmark is only 3800, so does that mean that using supercharger will really increase my multitasking and avoids some lags?

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

yeah i thought of that too, when benchmarking it only says "SD CARD" which is not the external sd-card, i tried that on my friends memory card which is 16gb class 6 and we both had the same read/write so it came to my mind, now its clear :) ill go for class 10 should i?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Okay. Just a advice, benchmark for write/read speed is not consistent every time. For my class 10 16GB card, it can hit ~15mb/s for write while ~22mb/s for read

I would say XXLM8 or DXLM3 kernel are the best at this moment. Personally, I have tried cow kernel on gaming. It didn't give good visual performance but only good benchmark. 3800 is the average score for stock ROM. It is good enough. If u know how to add Neon optimization, it will give will 4200+
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
Thanks. Im using DXLM3 kernel atm.:D.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] wuud:
I ran into a little problem. I'm using the Stock ROM atm and flashed XXLM8 Kernel and after rebooting, my WLAN doesn't work anymore. It just says Error. I tried to flash Cow Kernel and same problem.

Any one knows a solution to this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] falqon:
Just copy dhd.ko from kernel that u are using :D

Ex: if u are using kernel XXLM8 u have to use dhd.ko from XXLM8 too

Copy via rootex to system/etc/wifi and set permission rw-r--r--
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yes, falqon is correct. Just follow what he said. Or get the flash the DXLM3_Kernel.zip from the 1st post for simplicity.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mohza:
If flashed xxlm8 kernel will still have the RTL support for my phone ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] UltimHero:
So if i flash the dxlm3 kernel from the first post i wont have any problem with the wifi ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I think so.

Yes. Those flashable zips consist the required dhd.ko (wifi module)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] UltimHero:
ok , one more question , can i flash any of these kernels witout beeing rooted ?

Thank you very much ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I would say no. U need to install zip file via CWM so u need to root ur phone to get CWM installed 1st.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] UltimHero:
I dont know how but i managed to install cwm without my phone being rooted and it works ???

How can u explain that ???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
I dont think you need root for flashing cwm. Same goes for flashing roms no need to be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
Hey, I want to ask..

Which kernel is better between cow kernel and xxml8 kernel compare to cm9 kernel?

Is it compatible to flash cow and xxml8 kernel to cm9 ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yes, of course u can install cwm w/o rooting by using update.zip method. But bear in mind that the update.zip method actually root ur phone (as it obtained SuperUser Permission) to install cwm in the process. No matter u root ur phone 1st or not, the result will be the same, i.e. ur phone will be ROOTED after flashing custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
XXLM8 kernel is more stable compared to cow kernel and it gives better graphic (visual) performance. CM9 kernel is of course better but it is for android 4.0.

NOPE. they are not compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
Oh, okay thanks for the info then :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Villani10:
can i install this kernel (XXLM8) on the paranoidandroid ecstasy ROM? There's some match needed on the android version? (like, ecstasy is ICS)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:
I'm currently on DXLM3 kernel. Is there any difference with XXLM8? Is XXLM8 better than DXLM3 in terms of gaming performance and advanced tasks?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] shanbhudz:
Hello,

Im a newbie..

This kernel can be flashed to a stock rom 2.3.6 I8150XXLMB?

Can you please teach me!

My phone is rooted but no CWM

Thanks
