i have a question: does somebody know if it is possible to port the syiah kernel with the dual boot feature to our device?

and if its possible could somebody do it?

thx in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outerh3aven:
I'm pretty sure you can't port kernels. Kernels are device specific

but there might be a way to port modules of a kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751966
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Well i hope it is. But our devs and perhaps we noobies need to focus on completing and fixing the bugs in the 3.0 kernel.

We need several things fixed/worked before we can add mods like bigmem and dualboot:

- Camera

- Project Butter (100%)

- USB mount (not via recovery but via the normal phone way)

- Random reboots/shutdowns

- 3G battery drain (in my eyes very important!!)

And perhaps many more. So instead asking for new projects. Let our devs and us complete the current ones.

Also i do have some questions for our devs and perhaps users with some knowlege:

- Cant we use some modules from the Semaphore kernel?

> Camera?

> 3G things?

- How about porting the kernel?

> Yes i know our device has some diffences from the normal S (I9000) but cant we just try it?

I want to if i have some time and experience.. (wait until christmas holidays perhaps i'll take a shot)

Hi...

I have a battery drain issue and need some help... I'm using CM 10 by Ivendor and i must say the rom is vry nice and stable (thanx to Ivendor)...

I tried to wipe battery stats bt cudn't find an option in 6.0.1.9 recovery...

Thanx in advance n sorry for my english....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0kgrumps:
OK. First charge it until it is fully charged. If its stuck at 99% then never mind. Go to cwm recovery, go to advanced, and wipe battery cache. After that, reboot your phone and use it until battery is dead. When battery is dead, charge it until its fully charge and now your battery is calibrated, that means there would be no more battery drain from now on. Enjoy

hey guys,just wanted to share 2 kernels with you. one for ics and one for jb

ics - http://www.mediafire.com/?ljc2kadct3x72jj

jb- http://www.mediafire.com/?0b4epooox489l89

both of them have 371 mbs of ram. with everything working. (yes,720p works) only thing not working is that when you want to play the 720p recorded file through gallery it will fail. for that you have to use mx player sw mode. but all others videos work fine in hw and hw+ mode and youtube also works fine. its overclockable upto 1824 mhz. has many i/o schedulers, many governors, fast charge support,zero jpeg compression and enabled AVS. it's based of arco's latest 3.0.62 branch

installation:

reboot to recovery

flash kernel

wipe cache and dalvik cache

fix permissions

reboot

enjoy

hit thanks

credits:

arco: for source

jaggy: governors and fast charge support

diablo: overclock table

Ok, i will try the AOKP ICS version, but i think hes maintaining only the 4.1 version for now, i will build 4.2 for now and then he can take the job.

Heard about liquidsmooth, will try it too. Saw JellyTime some time ago and it seems good.I will also try RemICS 4.2

I think i have to maintain many ROMs when i do all of the listed ones. :D

There are many better devs than me, so i will give the OP to them when they started to build some of them.

real problem is that during deep sleep it loses 16% of battery in 8 hours.

so it doesnt matter what kernel

Maybe some of your installed apps have make your phone awake , try reflash the rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markey97:
I think its a source bug in the 3.0 kernel. Because i used 2.6 and 3.0 DiabloKernel with the same configuration and the battery life with the 2.6 kernel was much better, also in deep-sleep.

Another reason could be that wifi or 2G/3G, BT or whatever was activated and woke up the phone or there are apps the hole time active like facebook or play store.

Edit:

I will start with AOKP and AOSP today, and also will try JellyTime.

After that i will do some of the other ROMs.

I have now about 7 or 8 testers, i will PM them when the ROMs or one of them is ready.

Greets,

As hosts i will use zippyshare and for now dev-host, after some time, if one or both of them aren't good enough or there are too man problems with downloads, i will try mediafire and some other ones.

Hope it works and you like it.

And before i forget this:

I have a request at you all:

Should i make different versions with different kernels than the stock CM10.1 kernel (with OC, UV, more governors) and more features or should i only put the kernels in my markeyKernel thread or open up a new thread?

This is not especially meant for AOSP, but for all ROMs i will build.

Edit: for all users of the Galaxy W: if you want to, i can make also some versions for your device
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickvrolings:
Well. If you are porting aosp. Then it would be logical to keep the kernel as stock as possible. It would be great if you upload multiple kernels but there i think that there always should be the option to have stock aosp...

Hi Friend,

As we are all aware that in GB using Poweramp (or others) headphone long press is used to change track. But since JB long pressing headset key brings Google voice search. However we can disable this application but long pressing is not usable in JB for track changing.

You are partially right there. This is why I didn't include BigMen in my kernels, because it can lead to instability and also some functions are broken (like HD YouTube, HW decoder, 720p recording). I think it is much better if you optimize the kernel building, that could really increase performance. I like stability, and that's why I don't use bigmen, for me it is really useles. I mean, I had better performance with a highly optimized kernel than with a bigmen kernel. Also, some guys reported shutdowns/reboots when using Bigmen.

Oh, you could have searched around and find out all be yourself ;).

The bootsplash image is located inside the RAMDISK folder. It is called ARIESVE.rle. You must convert it to PNG in order to edit it, than back to rle.
