[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlownFuze:
Ok, I tested Jamie's Uber kernel - no issues. I posted in his thread, to let people know.

I believe there may be some issues with either the downloads or the flashes, so people having problems should re-download and try flashing again. You guys need to remember, sometimes the flash may seem fine, but some small thing may not go correctly during the flash - and recovery isn't going to show you that. Recovery either goes all the way or fails - it doesn't do verbose error reporting for you.

I'll give you an example, from when I flashed this release of my ROM.

I wiped everything and flashed ROM, then gapps, and then rebooted and setup - no issues.

Second flash (yes, I flash multiple times as part of my testing process - I QA the crap out of my releases for you guys). As soon as the welcome screen to select language came up, I got a SystemUI force close. That's a bad flash.

So I immediately went back and wiped everything again, and re-flashed - no issues.

3rd and 4th flashes were fine as well.

There is no accounting for that, in the way we flash ROMs on our phones. Sometimes the answer is just to re-flash. /shrug

So, about this kernel. You guys all know I've been aggravated with the kernel, so I started working off different sources to get away from cm source. Here are the details of what I've done.

I forked a lot of source from Jamie's fork, of C3lkener's source of Uber, then updated from C3lkener's source, and then made my own additions to the code. Too complicated to explain the details there - you'll either understand what I just said or not. Lol. Don't worry if you don't, that's not the important part.

What's important, is at the very base of my kernel - it's the "uber" kernel. But I "un-uber'd" it, by stripping out sweep2wake, a bunch of governors, etc. Then I added all my drivers and source for Bluetooth and stuff like that.

The reason I'm explaining all this, is because I am finally pretty happy with it. It's stable, fast, and bluetooth is rock solid.

Now that I've explained some kernel stuff, here is my short-term plan with this ROM. Oh, and if you guys have questions about what I just said about the kernel - post 'em up. You should know by now, I'm pretty chatty and have no issues sharing info. :good:

This milestone 2 release is very good. I'm very happy with the base ROM - so I'm going to leave it alone for awhile and just work on improving the kernel (along with my work on the new Family ROM).

I am going to start releasing flashable kernels in post 3. I will start with making a stock flashable kernel, for anyone who wants to revert back to my stock kernel from Jamie's Uber. This way you guys can jump back and forth without having to re-flash the whole ROM.

Then I will start posting updated kernels, the same way I post ROMs in the OP.

The 2nd post, I am going to open up for themes and stuff. I'll post up a theme Zelendel made for me, that I'm testing right now. I figure now's a good time to settle in and make things look nice. Lol

So I'll be back later today, to re-arrange post 2 and 3, and get some zips up. :good:

Thanks guys, for all your support, testing, bttching, and joking around. LOL :highfive: :cool:
