[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
It's the central-most part of your phone that controls communication between software and hardware. if anything happens on your phone, the kernel is involved.

the reason this is beneficial to you is you can tweak it to suite your needs. For instance, over in the dev section, they have kernels for balls-to-the-wall speed and power, or kernels for better battery life with slightly less performance and of course, middle-of the road all-around good kernels.

Just keep in mind, as you're flashing and experimenting with kernels, go SLOWLY. if you screw this up, you'll be very unhappy. I've been told that doing a full nandroid backup will backup the kernel as well and save you heartache if you screw something up.

good luck!

Simply put, kernels are drivers, much like your PC's video card, audio, keyboard drivers. It's the coding that translates software commands into hardware actions.

[EVO 4G General] Stevenskii:
Kernels, well, it seems you kinda got your question answered, but ultimately they control the phone. How much battery is consumed, how fast the CPU is running, etc. And that guide that was posted was actually what I was going to link you to. It's some great information.
[EVO 4G General] spamking98:
From my understanding kernels are very tasty with butter.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Just add butter & salt.

As stated, it's a layer of software between the rom (OS) and hardware. Some kernels are tastier than others.

I know I will be flamed for this but since the nexus s is on gingerbread maybe they are working on skipping froyo and going straight to gingerbread its basically the same.hardware just a thought
[Epic 4G General] II5StarII Swag:
there are froyo leaks so i doubt they wouldve abandoned froyo also they are strugling to upgrade other galaxy s devices to froyo...so no gingerbread anytime soon officially atleast
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
I doubt we will see gingerbread anytime soon, if at all. dk28 is almost stable enough for prime time, so I am not sure what is taking them so long.

The way samsung/sprint releases our updates are by month and date. So if DK28 stood for K=November (11th month of the year) and 11th letter of alphabet. And 28th means november 28. So EA11 means January 11. But there is no EA11 update known

They're not skipping Froyo, they're just this slow. Sometimes I wonder how many people they really have working on this project and at what priority it is.
[Epic 4G General] abro22:
Who needs sprint's official update to be honest? with as far along as all of these ROMs are, the official update will probably be lower quality.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Sprint has shown that HTC phones have priority over Samsung. It is sad that they only really care about supporting one of their flagship phones.

And we're definitely getting froyo next. It won't be this month. I doubt it will be at the beginning of February. I'm just hoping that they actually get it out in February.

And can you imagine if they skipped to gingerbread? It would take them at least another six months, if not closer to a year at the rate they work.
[Epic 4G General] mcdader:
I was told by Samsung rep that gingerbread was ready for the galaxy s phones and they are hoping the cell providers will skip froyo or release it shortly after. I was also told it is all in the hands of the cell providers. Of course you can't believe everything your told.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Just cause out wasn't leaked it don't mean its not there. Cause of the b/s that happened with dk28 the person providing the leaks decided not to give us another leak. We have missed 3 versions that I know of so far. DL11, EA06, and now EA11

[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Yes its easier but its still no light task. The nexus s is gsm as the epic is cdma. Thats a huge task in its own. this had been discussed before.

I just got word from sprint that Froyo is coming and I specifically asked who is it that is holding out on us is it sprint or samsung. Their reply was "its sprint who is holding out" why would they hold out if samsung is done with it. This frustrates me to no end. With this information directly from sprint I doubt 2.3 is in the works quite yet.
[Epic 4G General] Mac Man:
What he said. Rumor is that the next build will be called "ice cream sandwich"
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
What I heard from denver district manager is that sprint has it on hold due "issues" with adding/not sprint ID.

If this is true....gr.

Not gr enough to make me leave, as the service is good/cheap and I've been w/ sprint since 01...but badenough that I will write a hell of a letter/email to customer complaint section...

Epic is as Epic does
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Isnt sprint id basically vanilla android? Id love that tbh :3
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
Not really. Sprint ID is like a collection of "packages". That is like a theme with apps included.

So "work package" would have certain things

And "games" would have different app and theme

Not sure if it goes overvanilla android or other ui's (like tw)

Epic is as Epic does
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Sprint ID sucks when I have to check the phones that were returned from the store. If it has been wiped, I can't get in and get the minutes for the RMA because it locks the phone down UNTIL you activate and download a SprintID. If it has been wiped since deactivation, there's nothing I can do short of activating on my account and then swapping back to my epic and I'm not about to start messing around with that all the time.

The first thing rom devs will do is rip Sprint ID back out of the rom. I hope Sprint decides not to burden us with it. However, my gut says they'll try to shove it on us and tell us how great it is. I can find software, thank you. I don't need more software packs forced on me.

What a bunch of crap. It was mainly business factors, specifically limited amounts of capital. I mean come on, the Motoroi is getting the upgrade... We are not naive.

Did you respond back asking about the specific 'factors'? Hardware and software that works for the device? The software is outdated and the problems were addressed by the release of 2.2 and 2.3 respectively.
[Milestone XT720 General] grigorbg:
Don`t try to find logic in Motorola logic about this phone...

I`m not sure what is more complicated - to do 2.2 rom with 2.1 kernel (2.2.1 rom for motoroi is with old 2.1 kernel with some addons) or to install drivers into 2.2 kernel...

And what is worst for Motorola - to loose 2-4 days to port Motoroi`s rom for Milestone, or to have few thousands angry customers...
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
I have few questions....

1- I can brick my phone easy?

2- I can fall back to android 2.1 again?

3- You recomend me to test this version, or whait when sucsesfully ported?

4- Works better/faster/stronger than rooted/deodexed Android 2.1?

5- Have more functions than android 2.2?

thanks!

PD: Excuse my bad englis =S
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
1. Following the steps will usually prevent you from bricking your phone, but there are no guarantees. Anytime you root your phone and modify it you are taking risks. However, I have found the defy pretty easy to unbrick. Up to you on how much of a risk you are willing to take. Just make sure you backup everything before installing any new ROM.

2. Yes...but again there are no gaurantees. Read through the thread to see if anyone has trouble rolling back from a specific ROM.

3. This is really up to you. If you are happy with your phone I would wait. If you feel the need to play with your phone have at it.

4. Probably....but some find a deodoxed ROM sufficiant, especially those with JIT.

5. Probably not.

Hi,

I have used Visionary to first temp root and then perm root and apps such as Screen shot, Titanium backup, Auto killer memory etc which need root work fine but I just can not get Adfree to take those annoying adverts away and was hoping someone here that has successfully got Adfree working properly on the DHD could help?

I have updated the host files in Adfree but it just wont work, any help would be greatly appreciated to get Adfree working.

Thanks

with android revolution its working
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ToneyEricsson:
My DHD is brand new, only had it a couple days so I am just using it as it is without any ROMS. Heres the software version etc pictured, I don't know if this is a version where Adfree currently doesnt work or other people have the same software and Adfree works?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dr.m0x:
You have to set s-off. The flash memory is locked and any changes to system files (adfree needs to make some) are not persistent if you are s-on. S-off is the same as unlocking the flash memory.

My buddy got this phone I want to hook it up as he's not great with tech stuff i rooted with z4root and just need to know how to access recovery cause i didn't see a reinstall packages option in standard recovery ? Any help would be awesome thanks guys
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
I just rooted with Z4root... then I installed Titanium Backup and then ROM Manager, giving both apps root access (which I verified with the SuperUser app). In ROM Manager I did "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and chose the Fascinate option and was told that it downloaded the latest ClockworkMod Recovery. What's my next step?... Choose "Reboot into Recovery" within ROM Manager or do it another way. (My goal is to install Voodoo5 using the stock ROM for now. I have the Voodoo5 file on the SD card.)

EDIT: Whoops. I just realized that I had downloaded the two files to get CWM working but hadn't followed the unzipping, etc. instructions. I'd better go back and read that CWM thread again...
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
First get CWM working

Then check out this ROM

Or this ROM

and if you really wanna get fancy check out this kernel

Just in case you screw up

If you need more help on each specific topic, just ask in the appropriate areas and there is usually someone around that can answer questions.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
Thanks for the quick links... really appreciate it.

BTW - Titanium Backup asks for USB Debugging to be enabled... do you have to do this? It creates issues for me when connecting the phone as mass storage to my PC.

ALSO - I'm assuming I should take an initial backup with Ti before I get too far into this, right? Not having done a backup before... is Ti the best to use? (Do I just choose batch and pick an option(s)? Does choosing "Backup user apps + system data" backup game save data?) EDIT: Just did this and it ran fine but it switched my Live wallpaper back to stock?!? WTF?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Quick links are awesome! They save time, for sure.

Check the box to ask each time for mass storage and kies. Then you can have debugging enabled, and yes you have to have it enabled or TB won't do it's thing properly. You can switch it back and forth also. That's what I do.

I use TB to do my app and system data backups. Just run a batch backup on user apps and system data, like you said. That's the best option to start with. This isn't the same as a nandroid backup, but it's a good second choice for if you need to wipe data and restore apps quickly like a ROM install that requires you to wipe data/factory reset.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
Perfect. Thanks! Only thing is... USB dubugging doesn't stay ticked, it's ticked and Ti says it's not, or the connection still triggers a missing driver error message with Vista on the PC. Oh well.

Easiest way to do a Nandroid backup? BTW - Ti backup ate up 5GB of my sd card?!? Yikes!

Also, regarding this thread:

I get "adb: not found"?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Nandroid backup will be there once you get CWM working.

You can do everything from the phone, just read down through the pages to find the people that have done it. They have left instructions using terminal emulator and root explorer. You will find that in a lot of instances many problems will have different ways of dealing with them. You probably don't have the Android SDK which is how you get ADB working on your computer. This isn't critical, it just makes it so that you will have to either install it or use the other means available. (ie terminal emulator and root explorer)
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
Still getting errors after trying several of the things in the thread... Q:I never did get a robot voice when I ran Z4root and never saw a place to choose permanent... should I run Z4root again? I mean, I was able to install Ti, etc. so I must have root, right? But I think my issues stem from not being able to get redbend_ua into the /system/xbin folder. Astro can't paste it there, Root Explorer can't paste it there, but in the terminal it appears like chmod worked... thoughts?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Root explorer needs to be mounted RW. There is a button at the top that will say RO or RW.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
"Mounted as r/w"

I tried this. Used root explorer to finally get redbend_ua into system/xbin but when I try to run the commands in the post it cannot find redbend_ua. I also cannot cd into xbin within the emulator to ls ... says xbin not found. Explorer can see it there... what gives? do you have to restore redbend_ua inside the xbin directory or will it work to restore it elsewhere?

EDIT: cd to /system/xbin worked and an ls shows the redbend_ua there but the chmod 777 redbend_ua fails to "Unable to chmod redbend_ua: No such file or directory

EDIT to the EDIT: Hang on... think I may have found where I went wrong. What's the terminal command for delete?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Are you doing /system/xbin? The first / is important. You don't need to cd to xbin, though.

Isn't there anyway to flash a rom using odin ? If not are the codes the same for terminal emulator as they are for adb to get cwm working? I'm from the vibrant section of this site running nero v4 right now I have a good understanding of odin for the most part but this not having an easy recovery is bs lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I've never flashed a ROM using Odin, but that doesn't mean that it can't be done. The process should be the same using terminal emulator or adb, just more of a pain. I agree it would be nice to have full CWM Recovery support (or any full recovery support) but I don't have the money to spend on a phone to send to Koush right now to get that done. As soon as I do, this will be done and then I'll have a tester phone for firmware builds. It really isn't that difficult to get it working, though. I've done it probably 30-40 times now and even the first time the only flub was in a typo for the second to last character (thought it was a 1 and not an L)
[Samsung Mesmerize] willsnews:
So you type this stuff in all in one line or what?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Depending on which parts you are talking about, yes. Each new line is a line of code. If it moves to a new line, hit enter.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
Yes. Something's definitely up 'cause when I try to use Astro to copy redbend_ua to /system/xbin the paste option is grayed out for that directory.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I can't remember if Astro has R/W options for the root directory. That may be the problem.
