Wouldnt the custom ROM packages include the kernel too? If I am installing from stock GB ROM, are you infering the kernel will be what Samsung released when it came out with the GB update?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
It does, that's why I said flash safe custom kernel and you will be good on stock rom too!, so basically its just the kernel which is faulty and no issue with rom as long as you use with safe kernel. You can also flash stock firmware using mobile odin and can inject custom kernel at same time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Colt:
Yep you are good to go as GB kernels are safe. You can also

1.If you are on stock ICS : Root it and install abyss kernel (Its a GB kernel so your phone wont boot).

2.Reboot recovery & Wipe data

3.Install your CM9 ROM.

Best of luck

Well referring to my given procedure (If you follow it) after flashing Liquid Smooth you will have its kernel (CM9 kernels are safe for wiping) as far as in case you consider flashing TW custom ROMS just make sure it has a safe kernel (Speedmod or notecore) before wiping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aces170:
Thanks, the inputs are appreciated.

A final question, I read that stock ICS rooted through CWM.zip is unsafe. Unfortunately I had rooted my stock ICS installation the same way, phone is working fine till now. Anything I should be wary of before proceeding (yeah am nervous about bricking the device).

I am planning to install a pre-rooted GB ROM as mentioned here:

Sorry for the shameless self promotion. But my Security app Root Defense was developed on the Epic 4G touch and unlike any other security app out there, it will allow you to continue to track your phone even if it gets wiped or a hard-reset by a thief.

It's almost impossible to lose your phone and it's completely free. You can subscribe if wanted for additional logging goodies.

It requires that you have a rooted phone (as most people have on XDA)

Please try it out and rate and comment on Google Play if you like it.

What does this offer over Cerberus?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chetstriker:
It's completely and always free for all security features. The $3.99 is for additional logging features.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chetstriker:
Yeah, Cerberus was a program created after ours that has many of the same features. Even including the 5 licenses for the price of one.

Root Defense comes with many many more features though and no user interface on the phone.

Basically its still free but with more features and a stealthier install.

Also ours shows the existing data of logs and location from before a phone went missing so you aren't in the dark when your device is off

You must be a penny pincher lol. If 4$ hurts u then thats sad.. Try it or dont but dont sit here and flame people who have..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
he is just not realizing what the $4 a month is buying

compare it to these:

http://cell-phone-monitoring-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

The $4 a month is paying for this type of service. If you think its free or cheaper anywhere then lets see it. And lets see one that lets you pay monthly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Not emails, but most definitely texts, phone calls, and location. I'm not bashing this, just curious as to the advantages. I was one of the lucky ones who got Cerberus for free when they were doing the giveaway, just was wondering if it was worth... "upgrading"?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chetstriker:
Root defense also is free and survives wipes and all the features the $4 a month is only if you wish to keep the logging features. All actually security features are free and always will be.

One of the major differences if the our free edition vs Cerberus is that our free version also keeps track of the last known coordinates.

What this means is that if your phone was stolen or lost and was either turned off or ran out of battery. Our product would show you where it last was and when it was there. Cerberus won't be able to show you anything as it needs to connect to the device each time to read data.

This is true of most fee or one-time fee programs because that's how they can afford it. In order to be helpful to people off-line, you need to store the data in a database which will quickly incur cost to developers (especially storing MMS messages.)

Anyway, different stroke for different folks. But keep in mind that after the trial ends, you still have (any always will have) all the free version features.

Hi!

I got this problem, when i was flashing my SGS back to stock and it lost the connection with the PC for about a half a second and that screwed everything up.

I now have a SGS which has "Black screen of death" when I try to turn it on or start in recovery mode, but the Download mode works but my PC only showes a "USB Not recognized" message and it dosent show up in ODIN.

Had no trouble with this before the flashing went wrong, so I think the drivers are ok but I have installed new ones, and reinstalling kies many times but it dosent help.

Any of you guys who can help?

Searched google and this forum for it, and tried different things but none of the guide / hints I found worked.

Kind of really need my phone so I would really appriciate it if some of you could help me!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagi_007pk:
This is my first post on XDA and although i'm not new to the android scene having owned a lot of devices in previous years but I never came down to post queries of my own cause everything used to go real smooth!

I recently got a Nexus S i9020t from a friend and tried flashing a Jelly Bean rom on my device.

No issues so far with everything working with every rom that i've tried...

The only thing that bugs me is the ram.

I've tried several kernels on top of different roms (Matrix, Air (Big-Mem version), Marmite etc.) designed for Jelly Bean but I never to seem get any greater ram than about 150-170 mb even on first boot with no applications installed and when I restore about 50 of my apps through titanium it goes down to 120-150 at max.

I have tried rebooting my device every now and then but the ram leak doesn't get any better.

That way most apps that I run crash my device (im a big fan of chrome on android but the lack of availability of free ram degrades performance)

I've been looking into using different free task managers on the play store but of no use.

Simply put, my question relates to the free ram this device can generate!

Can anyone give me an explanation as to the lack of free ram and what kernel, tips and tricks I could follow to improve it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
You can try flashing a kernel that supports BIGMEM(check the development section). Since you're new you won't be able to post any question regarding said mod. Basically gives you 50mb of extra RAM which, IIRC, takes away from the HD recording portion of the phone or something of that nature. The 512MB RAM sucks, but I never had an issue with it on mine. Then again, I never really ran a lot of applications. Android can handle the tasks on its own and free up memory when needed. But you may face a few launcher redraws now and then.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagi_007pk:
Yeah so like you said I did try the Big Mem versions of Air Kernel and Matrix but it was never really of much use. Matrix gives me about 180 mb of ram when the device has no foreground apps running (except the system processes of course) and Air goes to about 140-160 not more.

The thing that I don't get is that this other friend runs Jelly Bean on his Galaxy S with Devil Kernel or something and his free ram is above 190-ish.

Technically both sport the same hardware with a few extras on Nexus S (led flash, lack of gorila glass, NFC etc.) but it really doesn't make sense.

And about those Launcher redraws. Yeah, they've been going really frequent now that I installed and use chrome as my daily browser.

Overall, in my experience I'd say Matrix Kernel would be perfect if it weren't for that Voodoo Colour Mod. It gives a weird hue to my display orangy in nature but Air comes around well in that department.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
We all understand what you're experiencing. Basically, our Nexus S devices just are not able to keep up with the ever increasing size of electronic files. Even though it's nice to be able to run JB, it really stretches the Nexus to it's limits. I too am torn, because I love the smoothness of 4.1.1, but to be honest, the phone can handle GB much easier. One other thing, Chrome is a huge consumer of ram ... really too much for the NS. As much as I love my Nexus, the handwriting is on the wall, if I really want to continue to enjoy all the new stuff coming our way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
The colors can be adjusted to your liking. Some kernels have a setting that's not the factory norm(ie Trinity). You also have to keep in mind some of that RAM has to be dedicated to the OS itself. You're gonna have to deal with the fact the phone has a memory limitation on 4.1. Sucks, but there's really not much else you can really do about it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niteh@wk:
I could never get above 125MB on GB even with a custom kernel. With only 512MB ram, more than half of that is already used by Android itself, there's not much left for apps. That said, I would remove unnecessary widgets on home screens, install Autostarts, or ROM Toolbox, or Gemini App Manager or other autostart management app and turn off autorun triggers on apps. The less background apps the more rams you can free up. I'm currently running with about 75MB and it's smooth. I set auto free rams to start killing apps if it's below 45MB.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagi_007pk:
Those auto triggers you talk of what software do you use to counter those cause I just looked at the cached processes inside the stock Application Manager and it showed a few that always show up when my phone boots. Of those that I usually encounter is Titanium, Maps, Google Search and a two or three more. Killing them doesn't make much of a difference though. Either the ram display at the bottom is screwed or the ram just doesn't go up when I abort any one of them and after a while they again show up. How do I deal with them?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Some general points.

Yes we want more ram. But we want it to use it. Free ram is wasted ram.

Task managers suck. All of them.

Low ram should not crash your device.

Stop worrying about how me free ram you have

Chrome sucks. It sucks on all devices. Sucks on n7. AOSP just runs better.

Want to keep a little more free ram because your device lags when its low on ram. Go to developer options and limit background processes
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
I'm with al. No point in over-obsessing about it. Cached processes aren't doing anything. They're there for when you want to switch apps for quicker access, which part of the way Android operates. You can limit what starts on startup to increase boot time(probably not even worth it), which I do even though I just said it probably doesn't help much, with a startup manager.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmilliVanilli:
I to am no fan of task killers. I've heard that they can sometimes consume more ram since some of the killed apps will try to start again.

I found the autostarts app very useful. I have disabled around 50% of all auto starts. Mainly for installed apps but also a bunch of system apps. Another useful tool is Auto Memory Manager which sets the ram level where the system kills apps according to their category (e.g. Foregroud, visible, hidden etc). I use the "mild" manager with the level for empty apps raised. I manage to get around 80 MB free when running nothing. However I have a performance ROM which might affect that number.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niteh@wk:
My Nexus S has been retired a long time now.. I'm currently using the GS3 with lots of rams so it's not an issue for me anymore dealing with low rams... However, same symptoms on the GS3 or any Android phone, the less available rams means more processes are running which can cause slow app responsiveness. Also, some app even runs in the background hogging load of cpu usage, that definitely slows down your phone. I use task manager to kill off those high cpu apps when they go wild. OS Monitor is a good app for monitoring cpu usage... GO SMS Pro is an example app that sometimes persistently consumes 30% - 50% cpu, killling it off makes the phone smooth again.

Hi everyone,

I softbricked my galaxy tab 7 p6200 3g singapore while I am installing to ICS with cmw but I managed to save it with hemidall by using hemidall firmware package DXCL1 for honeycomb. It restored back the Samsung stock recovery. I couldn'`t find any stock rom to install back. Therefore my tablet stuck at Odin and recovery mode. So I installed cm9 which ported to p6200 by aorth. It went through with a surprise because I thought that stock recovery can only install stock roms. It was brilliant but can't find network and can't make ph call.

I need a little help here, please.

Thanks

Hey guys,

Ever since ICS update, the charging LED completely overrides all notification LEDs.

I used to have k9mail LED color set to white which results in the LED blinking red whenever a new email arrives. This works perfectly fine if the phone is not being charged and this also worked before ICS but this no longer works.

Anyone else notice this with their E4GT?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I don't even use the leds they just blink and drain the battery. I have them disabled for everything including charging. You can't see it blink in your pocket so all its doing is wasting your battery as it blinks away unattended and it has notifications and vibration to alert you to an incoming message. No real point in having sound, vibration, an icon and a light for a notification. Plus ICS doesn't handle the LEDs properly and they keep the SoC from going into deepsleep causing excessive battery drain. You use less battery to click the screen on and look for an icon than you do with the LED blinking til you check it anyways.
