No, the custom kernel only adds few governers and i/o schedulers to the stock kernel(along with optimised algorithms and stuff), but no radio/modem tweaking, but since it's a custom kernel there's always potential for it to mess things up.

I also checked on the kernel's thread but there are no reports for Wi-Fi issues.

Kernel's thread:

xdaforums.com/canvas-turbo/orig-development/kernel-micromax-a250-t2797120

I checked and it seems like I'm back on stock kernel since all the added governed and other stuff is gone.

ROM issue......I don't know, I mean it's stock so there's a low probability for that.

[General Questions and Answers] MaHo_66:
I dont know who told you that you would need to edit the updater-script, but im guessing he didnt check your devices specs. It wont work, Amcha rom is a 4.4.4 KitKat TouchWiz based ROM and therefore you would need a 4.4.4 Samsung based custom kernel and a 4.4.4 based modem, afaik there are no KK modems and kernels for your device, also the two devices SGH-T999 and I9305 have a completely different chipset/cpu.

When porting you need to know several things about the rom you want to port, these need to match, to make the port easier with less bugs:

- same screen resolution

- same android version

- processor type

- hardware chipset/cpu

And even if all of these do match, it still wont be enough with only editing updater-script, you would need to replace lib files, edit framework files etc. etc. and after all of that, if you do get a rom that boots, there will be probably still bugs, FC's here and there that will need to be debugged.
[General Questions and Answers] :
This^^^

However....XDA does allow talk and apps about network "security", so there's a grey area here. Using such things to test network security is acceptable discussion.

But if anyone asks how to steal their neighbors WiFi and get free Internet.... That is entirely unacceptable. And the Mods will cometh. ;)

So tread lightly with these inquiries please. :good:

Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The directions he was given came straight from an AT&T to T-Mobile user than has done this on many occasions, I don't know about the ROM he has chosen (I haven't checked it out), but AT&T/T-Mobile share ROMs all the time by editing updater script so that they don't get a model number conflict when flashing, the libs and RILblobs are 99.5% the same between AT&T/T-Mobile, in fact when it comes to the d2 devices they can all use the same stuff, the CDMA devices just need RILblobs switched and build.prop edits and they can use the GSM ROMs with no issue and vice versa

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

You should be able to use jrummys root browser to unzip the ROM then edit the updater script to remove the necessary lines then rezip the ROM, when it asks what compression you want to use choose "best", after that you can flash it. I know more than a few guys that do this very thing with no issues.

I didn't say to find ANY AT&T ROM, you need a ROM from "d2att", the AT&T S3, not any at&t s3, the "d2att" specifically is what you are looking for. There should be no differences if you use a "d2att" ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] MaHo_66:
Oke, here i go.. but before i go, no offence in any way to anyone, regarding this matter, just clearing out things :)

Because the part of your post below, will probably lead his phone to a brick if he actually takes action and tries it, im replying to your post, otherwise i wouldnt bother.

If you havent checked the rom he wants to port to his device, then its wrong to tell him that he can edit the updater-script, remove some necessary lines and flash it just like that, especially when he says, that its too complicated for him! The rom he wants to port is a i9305 rom, which is available in my device specific forum, which is also why i replied to his question, so i know that rom and i know that it contains kernels inside that are specifically made for i9305. What happens if you flash a kernel that is not made for your device? yes, you will brick your device! bad thing to do!!

Now this part of your post below.

Im guessing that, that ''AT&T to T-Mobile user'' also hasnt checked the rom that abdulnasirbiz wants to port, if he would have, he wouldnt just tell him to edit the updater-script and then that he could flash it. BTW, i dont know how you know, that it was a ''AT&T to T-Mobile user'' that gave him directions...but anyway, im guessing that user has done porting only between roms for AT&T and T-Mobile, if you look here and here, you will see that the specs are the same, regarding cpu, gpu, chipset etc. so thats also why they can easily port roms between each other (some porting knowledge is required of course), all they need to do is as you also said, replace the proprietary blobs and edit the necessary lines in build.prop and updater-script (mount points, kernel/modem blocks etc.), maybe replace/edit some framework files and done, then hope for it to boot and if it does, debug it further if there are any issues.

Here are specs from i9305, different hardware, no chance of a port, simple as that!

peace out :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's why I told him to stick with a d2att ROM, the d2tmo devices are virtually the same, as are the d2vzw, d2usc, d2spr. If he finds a d2att ROM he should be fine.

If you had seen the post I made to him when first told about this I told him not to mess with it if it wasn't something he could handle, I just made him aware that it could be done.

But anyway, I don't see why he doesn't find a d2tmo ROM with what he wants, most of the ROMs for d2 series are made for each of the models so whatever d2att has d2tmo would have also in most cases.

Okay, so I own an Xperia z3 D6616, Kit Kat 4.4.4, rooted with locked bootloader, also running xposed. I recently tried installing a new boot animation and ended up with a completely black screen after boot up except for the Sony Xperia logo which still shows up. After the boot logo I get nothing but black screen. The phone is still going through the motions of turning on and starting up the os. I am still able to feel the haptic feedback of the on screen nav buttons as well as hear the touch sounds. I'm wondering if I can just re-flash the stock firmware to start fresh again and get back my stock boot animation.

Moga Pocket

Hey guys, I have been trying to use my Moga Pocket on my new S5, but even though it connects and will function properly when in the pivot app, it will NOT do anything when in game. After poking around, it seems that Lollipop broke the compatibility on the Moga with almost all games. Could I possibly downgrade to 4.4.2? And if I do, could someone possibly tell me where I could find an APK of stock camera appp that came with my S5 Lolli?

I have a Galaxy Tab 4, its in your range as far as screen size goes. It's a good budget tab, I paid about $150 for mine, brand new. It also now has a custom rom, fully modified. Its not the grandest thing in the world, but I can play most of my games, read books with a decent size screen, and watch movies. It runs Order and Chaos Online with no problems. It's the SMT230NU if you want to look it up.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's a misleading statement. While its true all devices are rootable that doesn't mean a rooting method has been found for all devices. There are plenty of devices out there that have no rooting method because no one has discovered methods for them, mostly devices that are on the low end because no one takes the time to mess with them or the cheaply made devices because they aren't worth it.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No need to apologize, your statement was true, all devices are technically rootable, it basically just depends on if anyone has taken the time to find each devices method, I wouldn't think that there is a device out there that can't be rooted at all. Some are just more difficult than others, in some cases the tool it would take may not even exist yet and is just waiting for someone to create it.
