CM11 ROMs

Can this kernel also be used on other CM11 based ROMs; e.g. PacRom, CarbonRom, Slimkat, ProBAM (AOSB)? Can you provide a link for the updated zip file?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
It will NOT work on PAC for sure as PAC has split their framework and it would need a patch to boot properly..the rest I'm not sure...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawnbrennan55:
Any significant risk with trying it with CarbonRom (Android 4.4.2) that could not be fixed by a Nandroid restore or re-flashing the Rom? BTW...do you know of any other kernel options available for the exhilarate (SGH-i577)?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
There is an Uber kernel somewhere, your guess is as good as mine...Its not a very devved device anymore..Only a few of us left..And no risk of using the kernel that you cant fix by just dirty flashing the rom over it to replace the stock kernel included in it..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawnbrennan55:
I'll try it and report back. Thanks for your help!

SGH-i577 Flash Problem

I can't install the Exhilarate zip file. I downoaded the file from the Goo.im link provided at the begining of this thread. I get a "can't install zip" "installation aborted" message from Philz Touch 6.19.2 (CWM 6.0.4.7). Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ns17:
That zip is corrupted for some reason, I'm not sure why, but I think it's only for 4.3 based roms anyway. As far as I know, the only 4.4 kernel we have for the exhilarate is this one. I've been using it since it was released and it works great.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawnbrennan55:
Thanks for the reply! I was looking at the UBER kernel as well, but most of the posts were related to the Blaze and I wasn't sure if it worked with the Exhilarate on 4.4. I'll give it a try with CarbonRom.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Traace:
4.4-A booting here on Validus.

4.5 No luck.

But Kernel seems to have some issue with frequencies/gov's

at some gov's second Kernel even not switch on.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] fsworld009:
Hello, does anyone have a back up of version 3.7 (Blaze_p3.7.zip)?

I'm using cm10.0-20130901-nightly (Android 4.1.2) and having no call sound bug. I found in change log that it was fixed at 3.6.3, but 3.7 is the last version available for cm10.0.

Unfortunately all old versions are deleted so I cannot give a try, hope someone has a backup, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Already aware and working on it... give me time, I got 3 main devices to work. Just finished the mako and now I'm working on bringing up the msm8660 line...

Sorry bro, but that's an old one... Might have to compile it yourself. I only go forward, not back...unless the price is right...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Vinotas:
Hello all, just downloaded the latest version of the Lightning Kernel (Blaze_p4.4-5.zip) straight to my phone, rebooted into Recovery, Installed from Zip, installation seemed to go fine, then when I rebooted I got the vibrate, the Samsung, then nothing but a black screen. I'm running CM-10 Stable. I can reboot into recovery but I'm curious if there's something else I needed to do first?

I looked through the thread and saw some other folks had similar issues but I didn't see any resolutions. Any help would be really appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] fsworld009:
The newest kernels are for CM11 only (see his archived change log for details), if you want to use LZ on CM10 you have to go for old versions.

As the author replied to me in the previous post, he won't reupload old versions, we have to compile it by ourselves.

For me, I'll just wait until CM11 becomes more stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Vinotas:
Ah yes I did not see that, thanks so much! OK, reflashing CM 10 and deleting LZ until CM 11 becomes more stable.

BTW, what would be a good kernel for CM10 Stable? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Cm11 is stable as a rom..its device bugs I think you meant..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Goliat137:
Reboot to black screen with CM-11

I'm having the same issue with rebooting to black screen following Samsung logo and vibrate, but while running CM-11.

Following the simple flash with recovery (CWM-6.0.4.5 NoTouch) and reboot instructions at the beginning of this thread.

Tried flashing Blaze_4.4-5.zip onto CM-11 nightly builds from 20140513 and 20140514.

Tried the previously suggested hard re-boot while long-pressing power button several times, but no luck.

Tried once wiping the dalvik cache (thought I had seen that somewhere), but no luck.

I can re-boot into recovery following black screen (and restore from previous backup).

If anyone has a suggestion on what I'm missing to get the kernel working, I would also really appreciate it!

Update1: OK just realizing maybe I didn't wait a full 10 minutes, since assumed that would be after it looks like it has booted. Will it take 10 minutes just to get past the black screen?

Update2: Tried this again, and waiting doesn't seem to be the issue.

Again flashing Blaze_4.4-5.zip onto working CM-11 nightly build 20140514.

Flashing seems to go well, says install is compete. I don't know if these are important but: install only takes 2 or 3 seconds, and phone does not reboot itself after flash, but I need to tell Recovery to reboot to system. Then waited 20 minutes several times after Samsung logo following Recovery reboot to system or hard reboot. Still not luck and still stuck. No normal reboot to system...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
Can't get the latest version download?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
did you reboot to recovery after it hung, and wipe cache and dalvic,? sometimes residuals can be buggy on these devices...Just saying, worth a shot
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Goliat137:
Thanks for the suggestion. But tried several times and still no go.

I may put this on hold for me.

Also, can't say I understand the interaction between kernel and rest of rom, but given the hardware related fixes in progress for CM11, maybe should wait anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Word around the water cooler is a new 4.4 version coming soon...(FYI, I have it as a test atm and its working out fine)...so..patience grasshopper...new toys are coming...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Thanks for putting the word out there bro...

Ok guys and gals, Exhilarate has a 4.4 update available.

I'm not done with it yet, but thought I would get something out there.

Read the changelog and as always

Enjoy the Zap!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Your i577 kernel is damn solid man..Congrats on making one that boots... :P...nah...jk....well done none the less...using it now..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ns17:
So I keep getting "error status 6 installation aborted" whenever I try to flash the new Exhilarate kernel. I'm on CM11 and the latest Philz touch recovery. Is it just me that's getting this?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
try downloading it again...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ns17:
No luck. This is the log for the error I'm getting, not sure if that would help. No worries though, I can always wait for the next update. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
actually, that does help, thanks...

If you're up to help me test something really quick, pm me
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Updater-script and link fixed... still running on 4.4-6
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chweez:
Thanks

Thanks for the kernel. I'm eagerly waiting for the 4.4-6 update for the blaze coz the 4.4-5 gave me a black screen on cm11 latest nightlies and the validus rom. Like others who had the same problem, i couldn't get it to boot even after wiping dalvik, factory resetting and wiping cache..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
His new release will work for Validus..Verified by me.. ;)

FCs on Exhilarate

I get repeated com.android.phone FCs on my Exhilarate with CM11. Is this a known problem with this preliminary build?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
I didn't have that when I tested it, unless its a newer build then the one I tried....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawnbrennan55:
I tried it on a June 15 nightly. I'm going to try again on the latest June 25 nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
There may be some changes that cm had implemented that hasn't been updated...Thomas is mad busy with real life...I'm sure he will update when he gets a sec
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Traace:
Hope T769 Kernel Update will released,

It's same Hardware, can i simply flash Exhilarate Kernel on T769?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
Not if you like your touchkeys...they are close..but not exact
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Traace:
Wow fast replay :)

Yeah i like my touchkeys, better not flash.

Newest nightly just running fine here, never any FC
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] InkSlinger420:
If ya like em, stay off i577 kernels..just a heads up

kitkat Carbon rom 4.4.4

does this work with carbonrom 4.4.4 nightly:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawnbrennan55:
I have not tried it with Carbon, but I was not able to get it to work on CM11 several months ago. Give it a try and post back. If it doesn't work, try the Uber kernel. I've been running Uber with Carbon and performance is great.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] FerociousAndroid:
Hello,

Can someone post a downloadable link please?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawnbrennan55:
Here you go. You should find zip files for Uber and LZ along with all three Exhilarate radio files.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] FerociousAndroid:
Thank you so much! What is Uber?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shawnbrennan55:
Another Exhilarate kernel. It was the one I was using when the Exhilarate was my daily driver. Really good performance, but not so good on battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] FerociousAndroid:
Thanks..

Ok. I flash this with CWM Recovery 6.0.4.8 and left it setting for way over 10min on a black screen multiple time. Won't get past black screen even after pulling battery. Did I miss something in the instructions? I'm running "SlimBean-3.1.0 build3 I am build numero 3" (JB4.1.2).

CRAP!

Just saw the 3rd post with 4.4.6.... It's for KK. does anyone have the JB version. Guess it's Blaze_p4.4-5.zip?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] imacusami2:

I wouldn't have to but the full flash of lightning zap kernel has something in it that makes games like Shadowgun Dead zone actually playable idk what it is but it's like the gpu frame rate is much better for the full kernel over any other one for our phone it sounds weird I know but if u don't believe me try it yourself the games free try it with stock kernel from any ROM it will be all wavy like ur tripping then try with Lightning Zap flashed and it's seem less game play...

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
Thomas as the last run of updates for all the roms for blaze its been like that for me too with any of them but if I flash any other kernel the haptic works so to me that means it's kernel related but I'm no Dev so I'm thinking maybe something had changes in cm source or maybe some commit has broke it but ur probably right its the Rom changes but the kernel is not communicating right with the roms now for some reason...

If that makes any sense lol

problems with hardware key backlight

Anyone else having problems with the hardware key backlight? This had been an issue for a long time on CM10, but it seemed to be, for the most part, fixed by 12/3. I'm now running 12/11 and just flashed the latest LZ kernel and noticed the backlight started getting wonky again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] grundlestain:
i was running pacman rom, and tried flashing this the other day, i didnt catch the size issue and flashed anyway, got an error message code 7 and a rom manager error of possible lost root with an option to fix root, which i did. it boot looped once then started and ran just as good as before flash, but after about 15 hours, i lost wifi. couldnt recover it, it wasnt even turning wifi on. i reinstalled pacman but it didnt fix, I wound up downloading cm10 nightly and flashing that this morning, now almost everything is good, except i cannot mount my external sd thru rom manager... it is not showing up at all as a mount point. how do i recover this? i have not messed with any of the sd re-mount tweaks at all, and i hope this is just an easy fix... thanks

Can this kernal be used with the PacMan rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
I believe so...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Update is posted.

Read the changelog for details

FYI:

I merged with flappjaxx source to test OC/UV build. I can honestly say it wasn't what I expected. Nothing wrong with his source, or my source, or the 2 being put together. It just didn't do what I have planned for this kernel.

I basically look at it like this, some people need/want an overclocked kernel and others don't, and then there are some that don't need it, but want it just in case (me...lol).

So, my plan is to make only performance, ondemandx, and smartass overclocked governors while leaving the other governors at stock clock values. Unfortunately, I'm having a difficult time figuring out a way to do so.

In conclusion, I think I am going to build a separate kernel with OC while adding UV values to both kernels. This will leave those of you who want/need OC the option to have such a kernel and those of us who don't, still able to enjoy the vast benefits of the Lightning Zap! kernel...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Thank you thank you thank you. LZ with your PA has unmatched battery life and delivers more than adequate performance for me. I'm glad you will do both.

Who knows? Maybe the UV values on the OC kernel will keep battery life close enough to the default LZ kernel - just need folks to give feedback. Perhaps there may not be a need to maintain 2 seperate kernels.

If you need a tester for anything my schedule is wide open for the rest of the year so if I can be of help let me know :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Best update thus far!

Phase 3 is now introduced and available

Thanks to car vs driver, I was able to fix the ability to set the max/min cpu frequency. Now the Lightning Zap! kernel is right on track.

OC/UV is now part of the Lightning Zap! kernel!

Even though this is the final phase in building the LZ kernel, there is still some things I intend to do such as:

Fine tuning governors and other values

Implement scorched io-scheduler and governor

Remove unneeded/unwanted governors

Fine tune other values until the Lightning Zap! kernel is the best with performance and battery life.

Happy holidays!

I had a bunch of random shutdowns today with this kernel. I have no idea why :(
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
I need a logcat guys and gals... of you have any cpu controlling apps like setcpu or antutu cpu master, get rid of them for now.I haven't incorporated support for third party apps yet. This is why you can't change voltage settings... I'm working on it though...

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/83382408/alogcat.2012-12-19-12-03-08-0500.txt
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
I have been running phase 3 since it's release and have yet to get a random reboot/shutdown - running it at 192 min/1728 max ondemand. Also battery life is still excellent. Based on my experience with phase 3 thus far (in regards to battery life/stability), I don't see a need for 2 separate kernels.

Remember that every chip is different and will respond to OC differently. So if you are running at max and getting reboots/etc, go back a few steps in frequency and check if that is the cause.
