Belongs in Dev?

Yes read op.

I first want to than you for your support on a "update for a BML kernel".

i think it belongs in dev but still don't have enough posts to post.

I ran into a few issues with no log cat because of hardware freeze.

1st Tegrak will not load module for custom tweaks. Hardware failure vibrates indefinitely, and battery pull needed. works fine if you don't try and tweak. running 1.4 GHz without optimization works fine but can't underclock because of issue. the screen freezes and becomes pixilated.

restoring from nano backup finishes but stays at gs4g boot screen for t mobile

nano restore might be user error. i just factory reset and restored from there using the one click. restoring nano after one clicking resulted in same boot screen freeze as original

im sorry i don't have log cats but i hope i can provide further information if requested.

running latest Valhalla Black Edition with 1.3 OC undervolted

created backup with VB kernel recovery

booted fine with first flash of kernel running at 1.4

tried tegrak to underclock 1.4 and hardware froze with pixilation of screen in very light but noticable amount

reboot

wifi fix didn't work with flashing with cwm, suceeded with flash just no end result

tried to recover using cwm recovery with modded kernel caused boot freeze

one clicked back with no problems

i love this forum and want to try and provide feedback when possible, thank you for all you have accomplished over the years and i can't wait to see the perfect kernel and modem for ics. FB i love the AOKP. Unicorn Power!!! thank you all for all of your awesome work. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Ughhhh..... Lets break this one down, bit by bit.

Chill.

Just hit thanks. ;) This does not belong in dev.

You probably forgot to wipe data/factory reset or something...

Tegrak will not work. This kernel is already OC/UV. You just need setcpu or rom toolbox to set the cpu speed.

nano backup only backs up the kernel. Don't use it!

I don't even understand this stuff. You should work on making yourself more clear with ENGLISH grammar. Spell check helps too. Not trying to be a jerk, it's just hard as hell to read.

ugh... then say that in the aokp thread, not here.

My crystal ball says: you are younger then 17yo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
You just cleared up a bunch of crap for me... no I'm not 17 I'm 23... was just tired and my battery doesnt hold a charge on the laptop, it shut off a few times before I could post. That was some info and things I had installed and tried to do... Like I said probably user error, I was extremely tired and forgot to wipe my phone first... Ill try and learn from my mistakes. And I'm sorry I forget there is a thanks button...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I'm just saying. Everything you type is one long run-on sentence.

Notice how I break mine up.

It makes what you are saying easier to convey to others.

Don't worry. I was tired and grumpy :)

So what we learned:

Type like you're writing a letter

Don't use nano backup

Download alogcat/alogrec

Wiping cache and dalvik is fine, don't always need to wipe data, but sometimes you do.

I get grumpy sometimes too

:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
Is this the kind of battery life we can expect for the mtd version of this kernel and/or the aries kernel port? I noticed this does have some things from aries (per Github History). The battery life with this kernel is epic, better than anything else I've used.

Thanks,

David
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
We don't know what kind of battery life you will expect from the ICS kernel because no one has tested the ICS kernel because bryan hasn't finished creating it yet. If and when it's released you'll get to see what kind of battery life you get with the way you use your own phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
There is a reason for calling this kernel BlastOff. It's going to go through the

galaxy

of snacks Google has named their Android releases. It's starting off on Planet Gingerbread, BML style.

Eventually,

if the stars align

, it will end up reincarnated as MTD on Planet Gingerbread.

After reincarnation, it will head towards planet ICS... and on and on...

For now, we are still packing the ship with goodies. OC/UV, governers, I/O schedulers, mmc changes, and bcm4329 have already been packed. But I'm still adding more!

So for the medium term, this kernel will stay BML. You may see me experiment with MTD, but I would stay away from that stuff and stick with the BML kernel for now.

Enjoy my naming scheme. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
No need for that kind of reply, I was simply asking a question. From what I can tell, this does use bits and pieces from Aries and that's what prompted the question. I didn't ask for an eta or anything to that affect. I also know that battery life is dependent on usage, but I know for a fact that on gingerbread the standby time is leaps and bounds better than what we have for ics (currently) (for most users) . It's even been mentioned that the kernel for ics had some battery draining issues by Bryan himself.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
That "kind of reply" was merited. Like I said in that post, we're not gonna know how the battery will be until the kernel gets created and tested. I can give you a prediction and tell you that it'll last you 10 days with heavy usage but I may be wrong.

We won't know until we test it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
BTW, unnamed - bhundven edition has been posted to the teamacid github.

I'm not making an official zip yet, as we have some bugs still to work out, but if you want a rom to play around with the new kernel, git clone it and run the mkzip.sh.

Let me know what you think, if you feel so daring ;)

(again, disclaimer, I'm not responsible for messing your phone up, thats your problem. This rom has been tested and won't brick you, unless you do something stupid. This rom will not work with any other kernel, for now.)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
I installed this kernel -- booted up, but then when I tried to run Titanium Backup there was a message saying the phone wasn't rooted. Busybox and Voodoo Sound worked, though, I don't know if this has anything to do with the kernel or not. Never got the message before with any kernel or rom, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zixx:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Try updating su with supersu first
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I can't test it... so ymmv
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zixx:
This is the logcat I got from calling myself I do not know if this would help.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
One of the bigger differences is that the stock kernel uses the dhd.ko, whereas I'm using bcm4329.ko.

I wonder if it is something different in the wireless driver.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zixx:
Could be that they have different ways of delivering data packages.

I Thanks for the answer Bryan and the awesome work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tangoXdesu:
Is everyone able to delete their dalvik cache in CWM recovery? Whenever I click on it, the blue texts just disappear and then appear again after a few seconds, but it would take me back to the main menu of CWM. There was no option where we have to navigate through the many "No" to let's say delete cache or install rom. Does this kernel use Superuser or SuperSU?

I'm currently using Valhalla Black final. CWM recovery is v5.0.2.8. The kernel version in the about phone section says this:

2.6.35.7-blastoff-v2

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] marcusgolden:
Whenever I try to backup my phone in CWM 5.0.2.8, the phone just hangs up and "backing up log.". Is it something I forgot to do because I didn't have this problem with the red CWM 5.0.2.7. I notice in the clockwork folder that it has where the backup actually was being performed, but I don't know if it's an complete backup because I never receive conformation that the backup process was complete.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Ger... I just updated the second post with the right filename. Sorry about that.

Ok, so the recovery is rooted. If the recovery is rooted, you can cwm any rooted rom to the phone.

You can also adb push su to /system/xbin/ and root a stock rom (install supersu after that, and update) from recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
Thanks!

so I do your java one click and then boot to recovery and flash the small bhundven-blastoff-v2-signed.zip ?

still get wifi error
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
You should already have that kernel installed. No need to flash the cwm of blastoff. That's what the oneclick came with preloaded.

Here, checkout my wip unnamed 'bhundven edition' wifi.conf:

https://raw.github.com/teamacid/unnamed-bhundven-edition/master/system/etc/wifi/wifi.conf

You can make an image of this rom by doing the following:

git clone https://github.com/teamacid/unnamed-bhundven-edition.git
cd unnamed-bhundven-edition
./mkzip.sh

Then copy the zipfile that was made in the parent directory to your sdcard.

Reboot to recovery and flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
First, thank you VERY much for taking the time to help me!!!

I got Git-1.7.11-preview20120620.exe and installed git.

I created a bat file with the above code and ran that. Took a bit and created a folder with about 380MB of stuff that looks like a system waiting to be flashed.

Do I make a zip out of that? Not sure what you meant by "Then copy the zipfile that was made in the parent directory to your sdcard."

Again THANKS!!!

"if Recording Preset in Voodoo Sound is set to Original, don't mess with what Samsung has already set" This quote in changelog sort of set a red flag to me.

Is the installation of busybox 1.20.0 - cm7 by design?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
The busybox in the rom should be from stericson's busybox installer.

The on in recovery is from cm7.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
The app shows CM7 as being installed. Update doesn't stick. Either it reverts back or doesn't change. I saw this the other day. I'm in the midst of another project so I don't have any additional data I can give you at this time. Just my observations.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Which "app". I'm not quite following what you are even doing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Stericson's installer from Play showed that CM7 as what was installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
ahHA! GJ, you found a bug. Thanks.

/sbin is in the PATH. I need to make the initramfs for this build a little more flexible.

I'm currently working on blastoff v3. This is the next phase of blastoff which goes to mtd.

So that also means unnamed bhundven edition will be going mtd.

So in v3, I'm also going to break out 'recovery' from 'ramdisk' much like how it is done for aries cm10 with the two cpio archives.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
That's cool. 2 notes on my experience with unnamed: market is frozen when it comes up 1st time. No biggie as you nicely include Ti Backup. Also I tried twice to back it up with recovery and both times it got stuck in data at "last.log". Also no biggie. To me. Yes, I was too lazy to boot again and try to delete it. Nice quick simple build, and nice look.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yup, there is something funky with backup/recovery from nandroid.

I've been looking into this one for a while.

Hmm, we need to start adding these issues to github.

Some of these are related to the initramfs, some are related to unnamed, and some are related to the kernel.

I will update the dev OP with these issue trackers.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Are you flashing from a stock 2e or 3e recovery, or what are you flashing from? Verify the model number under the battery. :)

If you can verify the model, try flashing the raw boot.img from the zip file (unzip it... find boot.img inside).

With the phone in download mode, flash the kernel with heimdall:

heimdall flash --kernel boot.img

Then you should be good to go. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] smith_family:
I am using the built in Android system recovery <3e> for BML

I confirmed that the model number is SGH-T959V

I unzipped the blastoff file and couldn't find the boot.img in either v2 or v2.5 unzipped folders. There's a META-INF folder, com, and updates folders in v2.5, and similar w/o com in v2.

Haven't tried heimdall, but I'll look into how to do that in the wiki, but it seems I'll need the boot.img file anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I forgot on BML, the kernel is called zImage. Also you can't flash zips from the stock 3e recovery, so you'll have to flash the kernel with heimdall.

using sgs kernel flasher

This might be useful to someone...

I flashed this kernel in order to get a working recovery, something that is not easy to get for this phone. That's why I had to use SGS Kenel Flasher. The problem is that this app only extracts the kernel from the zip to do its work and skips the wifi changes. If you follow this route you'll have to flash with the app, restart in your new recovery, then reflash the zip in the normal way. That way you get wifi when you reboot.

Now to finally make a Nandroid back up! I've been living dangerously for a week now since rooting this phone!

Re: [KERNEL][BML] BlastOff - v2 - Q&A Thread
