Hi all,

I have a question for all the users using this kernel. Is TWRP restore option ihas so much of importance?

Am asking this becasue I have never ever used the kernel backup and restore option and its not like havent flashed much... I have flashed more than thousands of times till now without creating any sort of backup ever. To backup my stuff I use TB.

I have written all these if that is not so important then leave it at low priority and let kasper work on improving overall kernel and can fix it in future when he got the fix.

Hope you all will be agree with me.

Thanks,

Erpurohit

I do agree but i backup my roms incase when i flash another rom i dont like it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] erpurohit:
You can take backup using TB and restore your app when you flash any rom wont that will help you...

Ok...got it yes I always set fresh settings even I revert to my previous rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MrOban:
With some rom-updates I had problems in the past. For example I lost my google-account updating a clean version to 3.0. I thought it would be easy going back to last version. I had a lot of luck having a cwm recovery too. I always made backups with both, cwm and twrp. Now I think I will only backup and restore with cwm. Using twrp for installing and using cwm for backup is not convenient. Will I run into issues if I use cwm for installing updates? If not I will use cwm for all tasks as default. I don't like switching back and for.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I am quite quick and setting up my google account and other mail account, so I rarely use CWM/TWRP backup :)

Anyway, there is no difference in flashing with CWM or TWRP. So if you want to make backups safely and don't want to switch recoveries, CWM is the best choice!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sandman303:
i think twrp is alot eaiser and faster to use thats why im on 0.293

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gazza1988:
Here's another thought.

Has anybody tried restoring using an older kernel? Back when restore/backup worked?

Tests could be backup with a old kernel and restore using the latest one. If that works then it's backup that's broken. Then we could backup with the latest kernel and restore using an older one see if that works.

If one of those is successful then it can be a temporary fix until the problem is found.

I'd do it but I need 2 questions answered.

1. Is this even possible (are there different TWRP versions)

2. Which is the last kernel that worked and how can I get hold of it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gazza1988:
The problem MUST be in backup.

Just used nandroid manager to look in the datadata.yaffs2.win backup image and the text has been modified like the screen shot I posted above.

Something in backup is renaming the first portion of the folders in datadata.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Thanks, saw this as well. So at least I know where the problem lies :) Now the trick is to find the solution...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MrOban:
Easier, yes, faster has to be discussed. Backups with twrp need more time than backups with cwm even they are compressed or not.

Installing with twrp is easier if you want to install more than one zip at the same time.

Initial feedback for new kernel...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I also feel 0.315 is an improvement in smoothness, which I attribute to the new toolchain.

I have no plans to upgrade my device. But if I do, I would probably prefer a Nexus and/or a somewhat smaller device than the current HUGE phones (galaxy s is easy fitting in my pockets and easy to operate with one hand).

Hi, i agree about the size but i am used to operate the phone with 2 hands. Don't ask why ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Blackherted:
Galaxy Mini 4 will come with a 4.3 screen and very good hardware :)

if i'll ever upgrade my galaxy s it'll be to the 4.3-4.7 max... 4.3 is the best in my opinion...

i don't play games so the only real reason why i will ever upgrade is because the phone will become too laggy or there will be many new upgrades to the android system/apps that the i9000 hardware won't be able to use

No way. I'm never buying a Samsung again. S2 still has issues with 4.2.2 and 4.1.2 and the s3 took ages to get stable and the s4 will be the same. Also the s2's development is practically dead compared to the s1. A lot of developers have given up on it. Samsung has lost my respect. Nexus FTW.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yavu:
Yes the best way is not buy a samsung phone again. i9000 is an exception. I think it will be a Nexus anyway. My dream is Nexus with 4.3 ".

If there would be a Nexus 4.3" device with specs similar to the large Nexus device, I would be tempted to buy one ASAP :)

How to change settings in CM 10.1?

Hi,

I'm a newbe with this kernel. I tried to find an explanation in this thread but I didn't found it.

How can I activate CMW recovery after install this kernel?

The first post says that on other ROM we need to open "/data/local/mackay/bln/recovery/navbar and change the 0 for 1" but I don't find this directory, "/data" directory is empty.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
/data is empty? How did you check, because that would be really odd?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
/data is shown empty cause somehow you probably didn't activate Root or RW option in your file explorer I think.. Which file explorer is it? Cyano one? Sometimes peoples have difficulties to find the way I guess, have to click on "/" or something like this..

Edit:hm no, click on the little "/" is the way to access to root folders which is sometimes difficult for peoples to find.... Root/RW is just in its settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kas_27_es:
Oh, thanks...:eek: what a mistake!!! :silly::silly::silly:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ts1506:
According to stratosk , tun module is needed for Bluetooth tethering too, which is not done by an app.

Maybe you should consider building it by default instead of as module / or maybe add option in mackay settings app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
I thought i could use again a little trick..

A flashable zip that will install Scripter App from market as /data/app and a preconfigured scripter.json file on your sd.

Once device boot wait a little for superuser to wake up,open the app,be prepared to scream when you'll see the wallpaper (others backgrounds in settings but be prepared to scream again),accept disclaimer,grant root access and touch your device menu button>settings>import scrpits(yep) from sdcard and back.

You'll see those choices we usually have to handle manually on rom without MackaySettings as scripts to run (tap on it,run,close):

Just as stated in OP they will write desired values to /data/local/mackay/ files,so we have:

BLN / CM Led

TWRP / CWM

NavBar on /off

There's two "reboot" and "reboot recovery" commands also but you can automatize reboot on any script if you want by long press on it>edit>add a "reboot" line at the end.

+Added:

Load tun.ko module (immediatly active but doesn't survive a reboot)

Load tun module via init.d script (will be only activated at reboot but will stay activated on next reboots)

Delete init.d script.

/data/local/userinit /* or .sh could have been used instead of init.d to keep init script active after a rom update but next rom flashed would have to come with etc/init.d/90userinit for it works and it's specific to CM based rom's...there's still system/addon.d files to keep system stuffs present under /system after a rom flash though.

Scripter4Mackay.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Great!

I will add a link in OP to your post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
Thank you :o

Something like Command Center that was once used for Devil could have been better at least in terms of Ui lol but I don't know how to create .json scripts.The trick with Scripter is just to write scripts and export them as .json file to sd ;)

Anyway it's a good'ol app rather handy to keep scripts collection at hand when like me you're not really used to,don't always remember the exact syntax etc...and one of the good point is justly this,you can send it easily "preconfigured" to get scripting or manual edits a little more user friendly.

I search a little around vpn apps yesterday and some apps redirect in their reviews to Tun.ko installer market app that install tun.ko file on sdcard,it worked with the mentioned app from yesterday but didn't survived a reboot...so as I already had that scripter thing under the hood that was the occasion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franzyroy:
I went on this kernel, I think it was yesterday, the version of TWRP (nickel incidentally). Today, everything was fine. I just make a call, I hung up and put my phone on standby. After that, I wanted to use it for something else, I unlock ... and there, I perceive that he wants the code, I do it like that has happened to me sometime with other kernels. I do some manipulations, and hop it reboot.

Do you think this may be due to the kernel?

Firmware: Helly Bean 4.2.2

Kernel Version: 0316 VC

Kernel Frequency: 1200MHz

I/O Scheduler: sio

Governor: ondemand

I want to say that I already had these settings on other kernels (as Devil) without encountering this kind of concern (2 reboots which follow itself).

In the same moment, I activated 'The real dark' in /Settings/Interface, I say it in the case where it could also be the reason (if someone had it because of that).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
The thing is to get an useful answer ;)

Can't say sorry,I don't have any of those issues with Mackay on any rom (was an answer at least) :)

Edit:Frequency maybe,tried to tune it down a little and see?

Even if it was ok for your device with another kernel device/kernel relationships may differ? And the way they OC as well maybe..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Different kernels use different voltages during oc. So this may cause stability issues between kernel at the same frequency.

If you are having problems, I would advise always first to try without oc. If problem persists, please let me know again.
