[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SysGhost:
It boots fine. But it is unstable.

I'm using CyanogenMod 11 (KK 4.4.2) nightly build. (cm-11-20140518-NIGHTLY)

With CM's own kernel (3.0.101-g90f2f75), it as stable as it can get.

But with this kernel (MacKay kernel 0.690 twrp CMC signed), apps keeps force closing at random. Sometimes apps can run for minutes/hours before force closing. Other times they force close just seconds after launch. It comes and goes completely at random. No pattern to the force closes as it seems.

Sometimes more important services crashed, such as wifi or bluetooth. Most of the times these services came back just a few moments after. Other times they stayed down permanently, and I had to reboot the device.

At rare occasions, the device suddenly rebooted without any warnings.

I'm not sure if this is due to the kernel and/or its modules, or if it is due to the bigmem libs. I tried excluding the bigmem libs, but then the device won't boot at all.

I also tried a fresh flash (with a complete and total wipe of everything) with the latest CM11 nightly build. Same behaviour as described above.

I also tried lowering the max CPU frequency (As low as 400 MHz), still no change.

Sorry that I could not include any logs. I had to restore the original kernel, as I needed a stable phone. This kernel wouldn't even let me send messages or receive calls due to random crashes/force closes.

Once back on the CM11 original kernel (Mentioned above) it all went stable again.

Anything else I can try?

I tried to backup my phone and restore it but it fails on restoring the data ...

Just did a full backup and restore using the TWRP recovery that came with latest Mackay kernel and no errors occurred, everything restored fine. Do another backup maybe something went wrong

The mount USB is not working in recovery in latest Mackay Kernel 0.690... It's only for me ?

Many thanks Kasper.:cowboy:

Android 4.4.3 update

Are there any potential issues using this kernel on 4.4.3 when it appears ?

EDIT - answered my own question - running fine so far on CM11 latest nightly 4.4.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knuckles1978:
Thanks for posting that, I just came into the thread specifically to see if anyone was using it on CM11 4.4.3.

If I hadn't found anything, I probably just would have tried it anyway, but it's nice to know first. The stock CM kernel is only 371MB RAM.

Have you noticed that there is the latest nightly which is 4.4.3, and there is a newer snapshot and M7 which are only 4.4.2?

I'm sticking to the 4.4.3 nightly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Snapshot M7 was probably frozen last week so it is 4.4.2. The nightlies are 4.4.3 now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fmc000:
Anyone else with camera FC on latest CM nightly and this kernel (0.690 version)?

Can you update the SwapSD version to 0.690?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Streuli273:
I flashed this kernel (0.690 twrp based)with slimKat yesterday and all went fine, I was previously using Mackay OMNI but did a full wipe.

Only now have I realised that recovery does not load, the loading Mackay recovery screen appears, but loads nothing even after 15 minutes. Do you have a twrp recovery.img that I could flash with fastboot? (Can I do that, or something similar?)

Thanks.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] limnaln:
You need to replace the boot.img from the latest mackay rom to the kernel .zip and you're ready with the latest working TWRP :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Streuli273:
I edited the zip as per your instructions but as I cannot flash it in a recovery, I flashed it with flashify and rebooted but when it tried to load twrp again I face the exact same problem. Flashify prompted me when I first started the app that the recovery partition could not be found, unsure if that is a an issue or highlights a problem. Could I use odin/heimdall to flash the boot.img/recovery? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] limnaln:
Just flash semaphore kk with odin and then flash the modified kernel with the recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Streuli273:
Well I tried that but both Odin and Heimdall and any other tools complained about my partition layout being incorrect/unsupported so I guess I have no more hope or recovery. Any other way of solving this without starting completely from scratch?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
You tried heimdall from download mode? For me it always works fine, command line heimdall to flash boot.img only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Streuli273:
Thanks, finally sorted, heimdall needed me to use --KERNEL instead of --kernel when flashing the kernel.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Any plans to release the updated .690 present in the latest ROM as a standalone kernel ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] limnaln:
You can just replace boot.img from the latest mackay rom to the kernel zip. I made it myself, called it Mackay kernel 0.693 ( cause the rom is 4.9.3 ) :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Thanks for the homebrew suggestion. I have now done that and it works fine. I was just curious about the kernel since .690 is still considered to be a test version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I'll prepare an update soms time, when I have a bit of free time

Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped

The other way is to install cm11 first, pass through the setup and then dirty flash mackay rom.

Can you give me a good kernel too? I could install this ROM yesterday but today I am seeing this error, I though it would be a good idea to use the latest kernel :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I will make some changes to the Mackay ROM to solve this issue completely. I will also build new kernel, both in the ROM as well as separate.

Two flavours: regular & switch SD.

I will stop making voodoo/cwm version for the time being, as that takes too much time. Two flavours is all I will do for now :)

Only TWRP & CMC for the time being, as always with test releases.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
Works very nice. I think zram is a very good alternative to using swap (without killing your flash) for our low ram device.

Please keep it ;)

I9000B

[MENTION=3033992]kasper_h[/MENTION], I see many improvements on your ROMs, very nice work BTW, but I have a B version and I'm anxious to try it on mine I9000B. Unfortunatelly I don't have the skills to port your kernel to a B one (will try to find a tutorial about it soon), is it possible for you or other jedi master from here, build a I9000B version of your kernel, like derteufel1980 does on Hellybean for example?

What is the difference between cmc and vc?

I;m intersting in flashing a 4.4 cwm kernel in order to flash 4.4 ROM because i tried from cm10.2 with semaphore kernel and i was getting error 7.:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
CMC = CM Colours

VC = Voodoo Colour

try to reboot to recovery and flash again after error 7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
Just tried TWRP for the first time.

The features are pretty nice, but i have to say it makes me kinda nervous when the screen goes off in the middle of flashing ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Did someone try this kernel on a 4.3 ROM? I know that it has been designed for 4.4 but waiting for KK to be a bit more mature, I would like to benefit of those zram improvements. Is that possible? Will it boot or not?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
I doubt it, 4.3 kernels didn't boot on 4.4

But maybe it works, just try it, you will still have a working recovery to flash back your old kernel ;)

Thanks for your work!:good:

Where do I enable fast charge?

Hi,

I've just installed the latest Mackay ROM 4.9.6 with the 0.691 kernel. I'm enjoying it very much but while going through the features, I've noticed that I cannot find a way to enable/force fast charge:

There's no 'Advanced Settings' or 'QuickCharge' anywhere :( Am I missing something?

Best regards,

Crocodilek
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
True, it seems to be hidden somehow.

Anyway, you could try nstools. Or you can manually change the sysfs entry at /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge by changing the value from 0 to 1. I often do that stuff with root explorer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Saber:
Try using Trickster MOD under the 'Specific' tab, it seems to allow most of the features found in this kernel to be modified including fast charge.

Hope this helps! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Crocodilek:
[MENTION=3033992]kasper_h[/MENTION] and gsstudios: Thank you for your suggestions, I think I will use NSTools as it allows to edit some more kernel settings than the Trickster MOD (for example for BLN) and it is also smaller in size :)

Can I flash this with update.zip from default recovery OR with Odin? If so how do I flash it with Odin. PLS reply asap I need to return this phone soon
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
You could flash this kernel with Odin: simply extract only zImage from the zip and compress it to tar. Linux can do it natively, in Windows use 7-zip

The point is that this is a KitKat kernel and as you seem to be on stock, it will not boot with 2.x firmware.

If so, you better look for a compatible kernel for your firmware.

tetakpatalked from N7100
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jeyko:
TY but I am reviving phone and just trying to get a good recovery. Anyway I did okay with Semaphore. BTW I have to rename the boot img to zImage right? Why are all the other files there? o.o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
If I remember well, that was the file name for Odin (for the i9000).

Best extract a tar file of any Semaphore and check if my information is correct.

tetakpatalked from N7100
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
One risk involved with flashing a kernel is that it will not flash the kernel modules - so e.g. your WiFi won't work out-of-the-box. I have done this when bricking my phone during testing kernels. I then flashed with Heimdall (which can flash boot.img directly), rebooted to recovery and then flashed the kernel zip (to also get the modules).

First of all I want to thank you all your job with a good development for our I9000, so thank you, Kasper.

Secondly, I would like to know how to change color on your kernel. I know I need VC kernel's version, and I think I need voodoo sound app... But I can't find where are the optios to change squeme color.

Thank you in advance, and keep your amazing dev!!!!
