interesting. my last bouts with carbon have been really bad and i've been using the rom for a long time. i wasn't too sure what the problem was. my phone would shut off much like yours, with the exception that my battery would actually drop its charge from 70%, for example, to 30%. i know the battery is probably done, but with PA, i have been getting good battery life on a three year old battery. i don't know how to make sense of it, so i'm under the assumption that when i updated the nightly from 8/3 to the next date everything went bananas and going backwards made it worse. i'll try again, though, i may just stick with a stable build and not move up until i swap phones completely.

my sd card is 64gigs and while it's not supposed to work, for some odd reason it stopped working well on carbon all together. it wouldn't even be recognized even though it was installed. now when i switched to PA, it began to work! again, maybe there was a nightly problem.

i'll check out the CM build if all fails me. i like carbon because the quick tile settings help me get around some physical problems with my herc, such as the power button that doesn't ever work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Unfortunately none of your links are working, that includes all mirrors as well. The file isn't on Goo's servers even though all your other kernels are listed. The mirrors are invalid links.

But, found a workaround: http://www.rootfiles.org/pub/mirror/xmcwildchild22/

Just tested on Sultan's ROM and as he states in his OP, his kernel is still the only kernel that works with his ROM. So we know one ROM that is not compatible. Thanks for your efforts regardless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Emmanuel U:
I just tested the mirrors and they work perfectly fine? Plus I have file backups in my signature. Also this kernel isn't supposed to work with Sultan's ROM. His ROM is running different versions of drivers that would have to be updated in the kernel to be kept inline. Since doing that will break functionality with every other ROM (slim, pa, ls, cr etc.), o have no intentions of doing so. If you want to use his ROM, use his kernel as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I tried two different browsers on my phone and none of the links (tried every one that was in your OP including the backup) would work last night, so IDK what's going on with that. Found the other link in the Tame OP that did work. Far as what I said, I mainly wanted to mention it because your OP says "ALL" ROMs will work with this. It probably should state "many ROMs" as it's impossible to say "ALL" without testing it on all of them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danishdish:
My two cents >>>

Sir -

I attempted to download the kernel through Tapatalk Pro, but the links were bad. So, I used my browser (mobile/Chrome) and went directly to the thread and it worked fine.

Maybe that had something to do with your experience. Maybe not.

Anyway, I flashed the kernel about a half-hour ago and it seems to be working fine. I am running Validus 6.1 (kitkat), which, by the way, is a terrific rom (and so is Carbon [kitkat]).

Thank you artfuldodger for being a meticulous member of this forum. We all learn a lot from you. And, thank you Emmanuel U for creating and maintaining this kernel.

:good:

Just flashed the 04 OCT version (010) and I have not had any issues. I also haven't messed with any of the kernels toggles/settings. I just want to give it time to become acclimated to its environment. Know what I'm sayin'?

nvm got it working. the cache parition somehow got switched to ext4 so i set it back to f2s
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
That means the install script for Wild Kernel needs to be fixed; it's still currently wiping cache by formatting using make ext4.

Emmanuel, this may have been a small oversight, but thankfully is easy to fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:
took your advice and i've been running LS. very good ROM and i haven't had many issues. i stacked it up with wild! and i am getting great performance and battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Do this... Go into your root explorer or whatever you use and locate system/framework and locate "framework-pac.jar". Copy it and rename the copy version to "framework2.jar" and leave the original alone. So now you have a "framework-pac.jar and a Framework2.jar". Then reboot and flash the kernel. I'm running it on PAC 5/19 with no issues so far.

Seems to be working on HellKat build 3/11 (modified one that I posted in that thread). Having no issues related to the Kernel. logcat throws the following warning while starting:

W/libc ( 221): char* ttyname(int)(3) is not implemented on Android

which I am not sure if that is Kernel or ROM related (yet).

I get an error opening the third framebuffer:

D/qdoverlay( 338): initoverlay:: opening the device:: /dev/graphics/fb0

D/qdoverlay( 338): initoverlay:: opening the device:: /dev/graphics/fb1

E/qdoverlay( 338): cannot open framebuffer(2)

Thinking this is related to MHL not working on non-touchwiz ROMs though.

and other warnings/errors that show up in the log during bootup (maybe ROM related and if so, feel free to ignore them or yell at me for posting irrelevant data):

W/SurfaceFlinger( 338): no suitable EGLConfig found, trying a simpler query

I don't think it was the kernel

There was lots of weirdness after my sdcard failure so I did a full wipe and install CM-11 from the 29th, and then put this over that and it has been fine for 24ish hours. There was a period of heavy lag in the middle of a very long game of scrabble, but that could have been an app issue. Can't say I've noticed much improvement in battery using the stock settings, but it is just one day.

hmmm... I am running the latest wildkernel (v10) with HellKat (3/11 + tweak to get settings to work) and it is not very happy. When I have my bluetooth watch connected, I seem to get RRs.

unfortunately, a logcat log isn't useful (as I didn't catch that before the RR yet, but will keep an eye on it this weekend), but the last_kmsg log is here:

http://pastebin.com/HEBhpkim

Things that changed:

I changed the Kernel version (from v9 to v10)

turned on ZRam (it was off before)

changed to LAZY govenor and dropped the min freq to 96 MHz

now I changed back to ondemand and 192 and don't have any bluetooth devices connected. I did get RR's with v9 but they were very infrequent. Now (as can be seen in the log) I was running for less than 5 minutes and it RR'ed on me. Thoughts?

also, should I care that the last_kmsg says "invalid uid 'fm_radio'"? and does anybody know why the log says "THNAK YOU!!"?

F2FS: Why I don't recommend using it

I personally do not recommend using F2FS as it does not have fsck support (most likely why it hasn't been released as "stable" yet), despite yielding better performance then EXT4. Of course I'm not going to stop any of you from using it, which is why it is fully supported by this kernel (from v011). I just figured for those of you who currently do or plan on using it, are aware of this drawback.

Sorry I should have said it never booted. Got stuck on the animation screen. Freezes on the animation screen and then boots again, never successfully. Tried a battery pull and still no luck.

edit: Same thing for the 10/16 CarbonROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obscuresword:
I can confirm this as well. I tried WildKernel from 007-011 and all have problems :(. 007 and 010 cause bootloops. 008-009/build2 boot, and work fine for about 5 minutes and then the device locks up and freezes causing a reboot lol. 011/build2 boot, but then either instantly freezes or says something about the android system crashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Emmanuel U:
Once your screen goes black from the reboot, hold both the volume buttons until your device goes into recovery. Then either use ADB or your recovery's file manager to retrieve /proc/last_kmsg and it post it here. It always helps to present issues with a log ready, for future reference.

I assume you guys are only reporting issues about v011 Build #2?

Strange I can clock up to 1836 mhz just fine on SlimFast, but the instant I select 1890 mhz my device instantly freezes and resets my saved wifi passwords lol. Also I have an issue with smart*ss where if I select it the device gets SOD/Locks up on screen off. I can select every other governor just fine. When I was running CM11 w/Sultan's kernel I could clock up to 1890 mhz, but if I ran a benchmark like antutu my device would freeze and crash lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sagirfahmid3:
Needs a voltage boost to be able to stay at 1890MHz. Speaking of which...

[MENTION=4193353]Emmanuel U[/MENTION], excellent kernel, but, 1 feature we could *really* use is under/over volting support. Sultan's CM11 had this feature. Since this kernel is heavily influenced by his kernel, I figured it would be a nice addition to include that feature. I haven't crashed a single time, that's how good this kernel is. With Sultan's CM11, my phone had some FC issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Emmanuel U:
I was actually already going to restore this kernel to regular voltages and add user toggled undervolting support (as this kernel is highly undervolted, by default). Also don't be mistaken, while Sultan and my kernel share some similarities, they are very diverse. I wouldn't consider this kernel "heavily influenced" on his kernel (or vise versa) as they both have unique features that are not found in the other.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sagirfahmid3:
Oo, I see. Awesome. Thank you for building kernels for our (somewhat old) phones and keep up the good work :D

Good to know it comes pre-undervolted. I keep mine at 1.72GHz always. Anything higher isn't worth the extra heat and voltage/current draw.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coch:
For what it's worth, I thought I would experience a boot loop as well (using 10/19 Carbon ROM and WildKernel v11 build 3) as after flashing (full wipe) the phone started to boot, saw the Carbon ROM logo for a few minutes, then the phone rebooted and I thought I would be stuck in a boot loop, but the second time it booted completely. The same happened after switching the VM from Dalvik to ART i.e. it boot-looped once but the second boot carried through.

Did you wait for the second boot to complete, or since the phone restarted by itself you assumed it would boot-loop forever?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nightxlord:
CM11 Cant boot

I installed Wildkernel for CM11 4.4.4. After i installed the kernel, it is stuck on the loop. Showed the Samsung logo and went black afterward. It was not boost at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
EmmanualU posted instructions a page or two back, you guys need to provide him the last Kmsg file. After the phone gets stuck in the boot loop pull the battery, then insert the battery and hold power and vol + and - When the phone buzzes release power, then when you see the samsung logo release the volume buttons. You should get into Recovery. Use the advanced options button to get to the file manager and then retrieve /proc/last_kmsg, copy that file to your external sd card. Then upload it to here.

kernel vs kernel

users of this kernel, please give me your opinion, which kernel is better this or the sultanxda v1.4.7?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ayr0:
That depends.

If you use Sultan's kernel, you have to use his ROM. WildKernel works on several ROMS.

Two of the biggest features in Sultan's Kernel can be found in this kernel (CPUBoost, Screen Undervolt). This kernel is much more customizable than Sultan's kernel.

Stability seems to be a toss up. There are bugs in both kernels. I've had troubles with both kernels. Currently I use WildKernel because of Backlight Notification support and CPU governors (sometimes I have problems with ondemand). That and CarbonROM is much more to my liking than stock CM 11.

My advice: Try both and stick with the one that makes you happiest.

Update: turns out the issue was my Internal Storage partition being F2FS the first round, which I "fixed" by reformatting to Ext4. This kernel didn't like that, but works fine now that I formatted Internal Storage as FAT.
