I've considered fixing the recovery. It's irritating to me to have to fuss with mounting manually in there. :) I'm trying to get z4mod to work right now, I think I've almost got it, but I messed up and forgot to copy the patched init binary over, so it corrupted my data partition. grrr. :) I'm starting to think it might be a while lot less error prone to just create a new partition at mmcblk0p4 and possibly shrink p2 down to 128M or so so that flashing a new ROM and such will still work fine, then you just apply the lagfix to push everything over to the new partition.

No time to check into the frequency tables JAC uses or the en_GB bug. I still have no idea how the kernel is responsible for that, but it sure seems to be.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Another update. This is now compatible with z4mod. Unfortunately, the update.zips they use seem to behave oddly with my ramdisk, so I'll include a version patched to work in my setup. Making my ramdisk the way they want it would break too many other things I don't want to fix. This version converts to ext4.

http://www.tabbal.net/files/Kernel-ttabbal-v1.3.zip

http://www.tabbal.net/files/z4mod.zip

Installation:

Flash the kernel. Now, reboot. You can't flash the z4mod until you have rebooted or it likely won't work. The kernel ZIP includes the library for backlight notification and some scripts to optimize performance a little.

Reboot and wait, you should boot to Android just fine. Now you can reboot to recovery via Rom Manager and install the z4mod.zip. It takes a fairly long time, but it does work. I disabled the reboot at the end of the conversion so that if you have problems you can pull the logs to send them to me. Please don't use "Install ROM" from ROM Manager for now. It reboots at the end and I want you to be able to see the results on the screen and in the log files before rebooting to make sure things are working.

All flashing should be done in Clockwork. If you have voodoo, disable it before doing any of this or you will soft brick and have to do the "Odin Dance" to get running again.

I am currently running this setup on Bionix Fusion with excellent results.

Interesting logfiles: (Use adb pull from Clockwork after attempting to flash. If it all looked OK and you rebooted to Android, some of the files won't exist, that's OK.)

/init.log

/z4mod.init.log

/tmp/recovery.log

/sdcard/z4mod.log

/system/user.log

Hi again,

Thanks for all the hard work, this is really shaping up to be a nice kernel, though for the life of me, I can't get freq_volt_table to enable overclocking, and I've tried several variants from unhelpful's thread, and tried modifying them myself too, overwriting the default table directly in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ and placing a new one in /system/etc/config

FYI, I tried uing both JAC's OC userscript (renamed to S02overclock) and set-cpu, and neither will scale the processor to 1.2ghz.

Anyway, does anyone mind posting their success story (and their working freq_volt_table) of overclocking with this kernel? I really want to play with OC/UV settings, but like I said, I can't get it to read my freq_volt_table (fyi, I use notepad++ on windows since it supports nix txt formatting.)

Also, on the AOSP bootanimation support, there's a line of code apparently commented out in init.rc to call the original bootanimation binary, you can read about some progress in the epic world (and I know they were successful on the fascinate too) here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814816

Thanks again for all your hard work, cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Thanks for the info on the boot animation. I was able to get it to work, however, it works too well. It takes over the screen and won't give it back. :D Using adb shell I can see the process running with ps, and killing it has the desired effect. Any idea what the trigger is supposed to be to shut it down? I did manage to get things working a little better in the init scripts than that thread did, so I'll post the changes there and see if they have any thoughs.
[Vibrant Android Development] aloxotls:
I flashed this kernel, using the fusion ROM, and it is telling me that E01mountdataset does not exist. In the zip file you have a file named S01mountdataset. So I renamed them in the update script and it flashed but now it randomly reboots or freezes.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I think I might have uploaded a bad version with 1.2. I have updated the link to be 1.3. Does that work for you?
[Vibrant Android Development] aloxotls:
It is still doing the same thing with 1.3. I have not applied the z4mod to it yet, should it run right without the mod?

I also have a ffc installed, but I do not think that should cause the problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
It should run fine without the z4mod. Ffc shouldn't cause an issue either. Not sure how it would give the same error, I did flash that file on my phone without error. Can you pull /tmp/recovery.log after the bad flash while still booted in clockwork? If it's throwing an error at that stage, the kernel wasn't installed..
[Vibrant Android Development] aloxotls:
The kernel did load but while the os is loading the apps and doing the media scan it either freezes or reboots. On time I thought it was going to work I was able to test the ffc and it did work, but it rebooted shortly after opening the mirror app.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
works fine for me on my stock-ish deodexed JI6. I have to say I think this method is a bit more elegant than voodoo, as I've always been a fan of modular solutions.

Any possibility this will work on the captivate. 8 pages and no one stated they tried so I assume the answer is no but I feel its worth asking.

[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I'm downloading it now....
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Probably not, but I could probably build unhelpful's captivate kernel with the changes for z4mod. It might boot, but have odin ready just in case.
[Vibrant Android Development] bahnburner:
Well, there's an issue going on somewhere... DNS maybe.
[Vibrant Android Development] aloxotls:
I flashed fusion 1.1 and before changing anything on the phone I rebooted into recovery and flashed 1.3. Within 15-30 secs after booting up the phone froze again. I then rebooted into recovery flashed your kernel again and pulled the recovery.log.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hey again,

Well, yet again, no luck overclocking, even with 1.3 kernel. I can't get the phone to read freq_volt_table from /system/etc/config, /sdcard/config and I can't overwrite the default file in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq (busybox won't let me, neither will an adb shell/push.)

Its possible that my table was read briefly when I tried /sdcard/sd/config (external sd card) but the phone crashed so fast I couldn't launch setcpu to check the scaling options available.

Might try again today, but have another issue/question, adb shell (I just use cmd prompt via windows 7 x64 usually, else its terminal on osx 10.6) is horrible and cluttered with this kernel, with huge spacing/layout issues even when simply issuing an ls or ls -l and it also always shows tons of seemingly random extra chars before and after directory and file names, makes it painful to use via windows, though its not nearly so bad when using osx.

And I know its something unique with your kernel, because flashing KK's OCUV kernel or any of JAC's kernels reverts adb shell to normal.

If this is working-as-intended, then I guess disregard, just shows I don't know much about kernel dev, =)

Any thoughts?

Anyway, thanks for all the hard work, I'm still hoping to find out why my phone won't read the freq_volt_table, I've verified that notepad++ is inserting white-space properly, but the phone just seems to ignore the table entirely.

Cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I haven't messed with overclocking much, I'll try to get some time to look into it more. I was able to get the table to change by using "cat table > freq_volt_table". The characters are ansi escape sequences. Windows needs a driver to display them properly. I usually use osx and linux.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
OK. Here's another test version.

http://www.tabbal.net/files/Kernel-ttabbal-v1.4.zip

http://www.tabbal.net/files/z4mod-ttabbal-v1.1.zip

http://www.tabbal.net/files/z4mod-ttabbal-rfs-v1.0.zip

Tested with fusion 1.1. Installed 1.1 w/JAC kernel. Boot up Fusion, and reboot per the install instructions. Install kernel, boot up again. Now you can install z4mod. Do NOT use ROM Manager to reboot into recovery or to install it. If you do, it won't be able to unmount /cache so it won't convert. Now you should have /data, /dbdata, and /cache as ext4. Flashing a ROM with z4mod seems to cause issues. At least it does with Fusion 1.1 anyway. Use the RFS convert to flash. If you don't, it will fail to install, but you should still be in Clockwork, so you can run the RFS converter to get back.

There's also a bug in the z4mod scripts that causes data loss if you run it on a partition that is already of the target type. It doesn't brick anything, but it will basically wipe your data. So make sure you have backups. I'm planning to look into that, I'm surprised the original dev didn't consider that.

The latest version of the kernel also supports bootanimation.zips, however, if you use one you need to disable to loop forever option or you will be stuck looking at the boot animation forever. :) There's supposed to be something that kills the process when the UI loads, but it doesn't seem to work on our phones. You can also adb shell into the phone and kill the process manually. I haven't found a way I like to do it automatically.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hey again,

I just saw Eugene updated his i9000 froyo port for the vibrant with bootanimation.zip support, and was wondering if you might be able to see how he fixed them from looping forever? Assuming its not froyo-specific code, should be simple enough to port to your kernel, right?

Thanks again for all your hard work, cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi again,

Did you ever get a chance to look into the OC issues?

I tried v1.4 today, and just to test, just did a copy of the default freq_volt_table to /sdcard/sd/config and the phone still crashes shortly after boot. And the phone still doesn't seem to read the table if I place it in /sdcard/config or /system/etc/config.

Any thoughts?

My phone handles overclocking with both JAC and KK OCUV kernels beautifully, so I'm pretty sure that its not an overly sensitive cpu like some people have.

And kind of an odd request, but would it be possible to look into the font-size-issues with the droid x multi-touch keyboard? It was noted a couple months ago, when people first started flashing i9000 kernels onto the vibrant, that the kernel fixed the key-text size being tiny on the vibrant.

I've personally not played with eugene's froyo (sadly, I need gps, so until we get froyo + working gps, I'm stuck on 2.1) to see if his 2.2 kernel fixes it (I presume its built from a combination of the 2.1 vibrant source and 2.2 i9000 source) on the vibrant, though I'm curious to know if it does.

Anyway, thanks again for looking into this, cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] kennyp987:
We need this kb fixed its better than any other on the vibrant...maybe we need to start a new thread

Vibrant - Bionix Fusion 1.1 - JAC's Xmod kernel v1 - ext2 lag fix
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I've been fooling with OC/UV a little. I can't get OC to work right, it seems to cause instability. I need to compare source with some of the other kernels to see if I can nail it down. The table does change though, and I was able to UV my CPU. Here's what I'm using now, if you want to experiment.

1000000 200000 1050 1100

800000 200000 1050 1100

400000 200000 1050 1100

200000 200000 850 1100

100000 100000 850 1000

As for where to put it, the script looks here:

/sdcard/sd/config/freq_volt_table

/sdcard/config/freq_volt_table

/system/config/freq_volt_table

I recommend the first one on /sdcard/sd as if it breaks on you, you can pull the SD card to boot up.

As for the keyboard, I have no idea. If someone can point me to a kernel patch or something I will try to make it work better, but I don't even know where to start on that one.

Also, some people are reporting stability problems with this kernel without OC/UV or any of the lagfixes in the z4mod thread. Has anyone running JUST this kernel without any experimental lagfixes seen issues? If there is a problem, I'd like to fix it, but I haven't had any real stability problems. I've even started a benchmark app in the background and used lots of apps with it using 100% CPU. It got a little slow, but worked fine.

i know this isnt really a response to your statement, but you are aware that when you press one of the buttons when they are lit up, the one you have pressed does go off.

i dont know **** about **** when it comes to programming like you guys are doing here, but i would think that if you can turn one off, you could somehow light up them up individually..

i'm happy with bionix 1.1/KK but man that'd be nice if he could make you a part of team whiskey and include your notification work, or maybe that'd be kingklick since its his kernel. either way i'm excited to see how this progresses.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Hmm, it seems that reverting back to rfs doesn't successfully revert /dbdata on stl10 or /cache on stl11. I was able to revert back manually thanks to the well commented z4 script giving me an idea of what to do.
[Vibrant Android Development] bahnburner:
If you use rom manager to apply the rfs-revert zip, recovery can't unmount cache so it can't revert it.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
naw, not ROM manager, just rebooting into recovery, reinstalling packages to get into clockwork, and flashing it from there. also not sure why it didn't get dbdata. I have a feeling the reason it can't do cache is that the cache partition (at least mine) is only about 38MB or so, too small for FAT32.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
You need the latest version, 1.5. The parameters were removed and the format program figures it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
That stuff happens at a lower level than we have source for. Nobody has been willing or able to reverse engineer the firmware for the touch button controller. If we had source, I could make them flash all kinds of patterns and such.

Ask Team Whiskey if you want my stuff included in the ROMs. I've been in contact with them and talked to them a bit. I'm open to the idea, but never really got any word back. I do run my stuff on Fusion 1.1 right now, it works great.

I can't add my stuff to KK or JAC kernels, they don't provide full up to date source like they are supposed to. I've never been able to build from their stuff and get a bootable kernel. That's why I started from Unhelpful's kernel, his stuff built perfectly the first time and he keeps his git updated with releases.
[Vibrant Android Development] djkdawg:
hey ttabbal is there a way i can make it flash versus having the backlight stay solid.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
No. That's handled in binary firmware that we don't have any source for and nobody wants to reverse engineer. More interesting stuff to look at I guess. I'm not fond of that kind of work either.
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
makes sense, there's always a limit somewhere! i just saw today (actually i think the news was just released today) that they built their own kernel for 1.6+ overclocks in mind. now that they've got their own kernel it sounds like your work could definitely be included. maybe they've got room for one more dev on the team? :D
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Ahh thanks, been looking for a kernel source that will actually build, even got CT-NG built last night and then spent the rest of the evening trying different repos to see if one would build.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
Root your phone and do a nandroid right after rooting it. Then take the nandroid folder from your sdcard and save it to your computer. There are other ways but they all require rooting your phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xstuntdriver3x:
still nothing on nandroid

no /sdcard/.android_secure found. skipping backup of application on external storage. backing up cache..... no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext........

thats what it says and i have my computer with a sd card in it and it is rooted but still nothing on nandroid.. ( in recovery )
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
Do you have an sdcard in your phone? You can't do a back up to your PC. What you can do is pull your system folder to your PC and create an update zip and sign it so you can flash it later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xstuntdriver3x:
ok?

yes i have a sd card in my phone. i don't know how to do anything else that you was talking about like signing it and the folder.. bc their is no folder in my sdcard with nandroid label on it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
Not to be mean but you have been on the forums since NOV 2008. You should know the rules by now. This belongs in the Q&A section not here.

I would say and this sounds very stupid tho...format your memory card(of course save everything) then do the Nandroid..sometimes they are picky.

And if you give me a lil bit i will post a link on how to sign and such..i need to get it off my laptop at home. what the guy is talking about is getting a root explorer(like android mate) then going and copying the /system/ onto your Sd card...thats essentially your rom right there anyways. Like i said tho gimme a bit and i will get ya in the direction.

This link should get you in the started direction you need in order to do this.

[General Questions and Answers] Levities:
Hi guys, before I ask what I need to, I'd like to say I've done the research needed but not found anything.

If this has already been mentioned then please forgive, as my research methods probably suck!

I'm on a T-mobile UK brand. I upgraded to Froyo 2.2 OTA and probably also had hbootloader upgraded to 0.93 at the same time. I rooted my phone via the one-click Unrevoked method using the latest Unrevoked software release. I was successfully rooted and loaded new roms with ClockworkMod Recovery.

Now. My problem is, that I'm reluctant to use the methods of unrooting as they are deemed suitable only for different versions of hbootloader(0.80, etc.). Some topics suggest I need a goldcard(something I've not got round to yet), others, that I need to downgrade to 0.80 from my current version of 0.93.

My question is, what the heck do I need to do to unroot with my current circumstances? I need to give my phone back for hardware repair. Please help.

Thanks in advance

Energy ROM is what I use. Its faster, smoother, more stable than the (terrible) stock ATT ROM. Its not as lightweight (heavier on program memory usage) than some others. But I personally like the aesthetics and functionality.

I'm not sure if the reference version is right for you, if you don't like TouchFLO3D. The Energy reference version includes Sense 2.5, which is the updated version fo the TF3D interface. Although, everything runs faster and smoother on the Energy ROM versus stock, so you might find Sense more enjoyable without all the lag of the ATT ROM.

You might check out the Titanium version if you don't want TF3D/Sense.
