[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nuke235:
Hello,

If this is not the right place for this please fell free to move it.

Now that more unofficial roms like Cyanogenmod are getting closer to a stable/bug free release I am wondering about a few things.

According to Cyanogenmod's install guide a OLDER Kernel and Bootloader must be flashed in order to get recovery installed and Cyanogenmod running, one would also assume that most other custom roms would require this as well.

Using this tutorial by invisiblek I obtained Root and Clockworkmod recovery some time ago and have not updated or touched the FW since. I even disabled OTA updates to avoid loosing my root.

In About Device I have:

Android Version 4.0.4

Baseband Version I535VRLF2

Kernel Version 3.0.8

Build number is I535VRALF2

CWM recovery version: 6.0.1.2

Would using the above methods to flash a new bootloader and kernel even be necessary on my phone to get Cyanogenmod running? Besides flashing the phone originally I have done nothing to change or update this stock rom.

The reason I ask is I would rather avoid any potentially phone bricking steps for installation of custom roms if they are unnecessary.

Thanks for the help in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PVLMTREE:
You can easily update your CWM version and bootchain (unlocked), which makes flashing custom kernels and ROMs possible, by via Odin. If that's what you wanted to know? Haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nuke235:
Well I was more wondering if I needed to even bother flashing my kernel/bootloader in order to get custom roms to run?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eMpTy43:
In order to load a custom ROM you'll need to be rooted, have an unlocked boot loader, and a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP installed.

Most custom ROMS are based on a certain firmware. For instance Scott's ROM is based off of the I535VRBMB1 firmware but works with some older firmwares, however, it will not work with the newest firmware I535VRBMF1 (camera doesn't work).

Check

this thread

for newer firmwares (flashable through recovery) if you want to update yours!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] santeana:
Just wondered what those in the know would suggest as the best kernels for 4.2.2. I'm looking for good performance, obviously, but really need great battery life. On my n4 I use frankokernel. But i don't recognize any of the devs in this section, so I don't know where to start. Trial and error isn't working out too well since they all seem the same so far. So what are some of you using and how is your battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jyjieng11:
Lightning Zap is pretty good and a few others said that Faux Kernel is good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
I have only been here a couple weeks. but I like Ayysir's RC2 allot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhi08638:
Lightning zap is only for 4.1

The only two kernels for 4.2.2 are the asdk kernel by ayysir and cerux kernel by elbermu

Also if you have a problem don't cluuter their threads with useless posts like "its lagging on my phone :( "
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArcticFish:
Cerux is amazing, the dev is epic and the features he added only adds on to the masterpiece(sweep2wake)

The battery life lasts pretty good compared to what I tried with other trials

No need to clean flash if you are just doing the kernel

Thanks guys for your suggestions. Looks like she's enjoying the Cerux kernel with badass governor. She gets home from work now and her battery is still above 60. with stock aokp kernel it would be more like 19. thanks!

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Coucher:
Have an odd SMS issue that admittedly I think I created, that honestly I don't think anyone will be able to help with, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

My Photon has been rock solid for months. I'm a VERY heavy texter and don't delete old texts. I think I have between 40k-45k on the phone. It's never had an issue with the amount of texts. I use Handcent rather than the stock messaging app.

About a month ago I reduced the LCD density (to 220) by editing the build.prop file and everything was good. A couple of days ago I decided to try a lower density after reading someone's post about the setting they were running on their Photon, so I changed it 180 and rebooted.

After rebooting, the phone could not start the launcher. Since I couldn't start any app on the phone to reset the build.prop LCD density setting, I used ADB to pull the file to my computer, edited it back to the previous 220 setting, then pushed it back to the phone and rebooted. Phone came up fine. However, ever since then it has been VERY sluggish within both Handcent and the stock messaging app. It takes noticeably longer to open up threads, send a message, scroll, etc. This is the ONLY thing effected on the phone. Thinking that I may have accidentally messed something up in the build.prop file when I pulled/edited/pushed it using my computer, I used RomToolBox to restore a build.prop backup I had from late January. This made no change in the performance of the messaging.

Any thoughts?

Yes, I know 40k+ messages is excessive, and there's a good chance I could fix the issue by deleting them all/clearing the data for SMS/MMS, and I may very well end up doing that, but immediately prior to the changing the LCD density to 180 which the phone obviously didn't like, I had no performance or speed issues with the messaging.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or ideas.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
I've never stored my messages that much. Maybe you could try wipe cache and dalvik via cwm first.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Coucher:
Yeah, I'm a bit of a message hoarder.. :laugh:

Didn't think about trying to wipe the cache and dalvik. Booting into TWRP now to do that.

Thanks for the idea. :good:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Coucher:
Unfortunately, no change..
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
What about wiping the cache in that app?

Also, when you muck with build.prop are you fixing the permissions on it? I think it's 0644.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] PythonFanTN:
Just a side note for future reference, but if you don't already have/use it, I'd recommend SMS Backup & Restore. Anything you don't want to lose textwise, you can backup and archive to get them off your phone. You can move the archived text bacli[ files to your PC, and then be able to access/read them via this Java applet on Sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/smsbackupreader/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Coucher:
Given that I have the sluggish behavior in both the stock messaging app and Handcent I'd be shocked if that fixed it.

Tried it and it didn't make any change.

Historically I just used RomToolBox to edit it and never had an issue. It's possible that the permissions got jacked up when I had to pull/edit/push it using my computer. Although since I've already after that restored a known good build.prop from a backup wouldn't that have reset the permissions if they had been wrong? This morning I backed up my messages ( all 48,330 of them :eek: ) then wiped them. Sent a few texts back and forth to my Google Voice account and confirmed that the "snappyness" I was use to was back and there were no delays in sending. Wiped them again and now currently going through a restore. I don't think this will make any difference, but I'm just stabbing in the dark at this point. After this restore is done if the issue is still there (and I suspect it will be) I'll check the permissions of the build.prop

Yeah, I use that, MyBackup Pro, and Titanium....in addition to manually copying the mmssms.db from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ to my SD Card. :silly:

Thanks again guys for taking the time to read, throw some ideas out there and comment. :good:

Unfortunately it seems as though the originator discovered that there were simply too many little differences Android version to version to make a "one for all" script.

It certainly appears though that at least according to Honusnap that there are some tweaks that can be made to make the SQL DB that Android uses to store the SMS/MMS's more efficient.

Just wondering if someone can give me some information. I have just got a new XDA, and to be perfectly honest i have not got a clue what i'm doing. I have never owned a pocket PC before, and i am a bit lost.

I have active sync and an IRDA port to install stuff, but none of the software i install works, be it emulators, pocketdivx, or anything else for that matter. I know it has an ARM processor, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Also, can anyone give me some hints on unlocking. Do you have to have a serial cable or can you do it with an IRDA.

Please could anybody give me some tips, or afew links to some decent resources so i can read up on this.
