[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
I wouldn't do that. The file is tagged with the .md5 to prevent corruption. Odin verifies the MD5 of the file prior to flashing. Flashing something that fails verification could lead to problems. I took them down for now, but I believe I know what the issue was. I'd recommend flashing the CWM tar first, then one of the zips.

EDIT: I also have a new test to post then. I think I know what caused the no-boot before.
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Alright, sweet! I'm ready for testing :D I kinda miss all the testing, not gonna lie... Lol

Yeah, your right.. Lol.. You shouldn't xP

[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
blah, i wish we had a voodoo kernel that didn't have video problems :|

has anyone figured out why this is happening?
[Continuum Android Development] dottat:
I have a pretty good idea of what caused my "no boot" problem and first bricked phone. Yes.. by the end of the night it was bricked. In fact it would only turn on to download mode. No recovery mode whatsoever. I couldn't get it to take any of the available recovery images.

very depressing having flashed many different phones over the years to have the first brick be a friends phone :) good thing he's well humored.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Sorry to hear about that. However, if we can get a good Odin image, you should still be able to fix it as all you need is to get into download mode.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
New test kernels to see if I fixed my source:

Novoodoo

Voodoo
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
I tested just the voodoo one and it just sat at the samsung screen. No boot.
[Continuum Android Development] logan302:
Don't do it

These files don't work and you're likely to have brick...per dfgged and crazyknight122. That is unless crazy can still flash...
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
I had to flash recovery back through odin after this.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
It's something with voodoo that's causing the problems, just not sure what yet. I removed all the voodoo kernels that I have until I can figure out why. I'd also recommend that anyone using one of them creates the file /sdcard/voodoo/disable-lagfix and restart your phone if you are on voodoo, then flash one of the novoodoo kernels to avoid any issues.
[Continuum Android Development] dottat:
The only problem with creating that folder to disable lag-fix is that once the phone is broken... it's not able to undo.. hence the brick loop.

Any word on getting a good odin image?
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
The Continuum I was trying to get got bid up to >$100 last night, so I won't be getting it. If anyone finds another one anytime that is <$100, let me know though, I'll get it (or try to) and then testing will be much easier.
[Continuum Android Development] dottat:
well i will still have the bricked one until monday. it can boot into download mode.. but no recovery mode.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Can the people that are having, or have had, problems with any of the voodoo kernels send me the files contained in /sdcard/voodoo/logs? Just zip them up and email them to me <username>@gmail.com and I'll look at it. What I think is happening to cause the issues is that the phone is doing something funny with the partitions after they are converted to ext4, and tries to convert them back, but ends up ruining everything.

[Continuum Android Development] pgm131:
In original post it says that this has a battery fix for non-oem batteries. Is there some kind of block on thee phoney so I can't buy cheap batteries from ebay? I used those on my eris and it was great because I only had to pay $20 for two instead of $40 for one from verizon...
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Yes, there is code in the kernel battery driver to prevent non-OEM batteries from being used.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Not that it fixes people's phones after the fact, but I believe I found the reason for all the issues with the voodoo kernels. The problem was that the Continuum kernel is ~2MB larger than the Fascinate kernel, I'm guessing this is from the added drivers, but no idea really. The amount of space that is available to the kernel is ~8MB, and the stock kernel is coming in at ~7-7.5MB. Voodoo adds in another ~2MB, which is fine on the Fascinate, we have the extra room, but it doesn't work on the Continuum. I'm going to see if I can get it working then after CWM fully fixed, but it could be that the lagfix may not work until Froyo is released.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
An update to this. The max size is 7.5MB, so it'll be tough no matter what to get everything in, but I got LZMA compression backported, so it may be possible to get voodoo now, at least more so than a few days ago. Also, don't forget to vote for you cwm color :p

[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Another small update. You'll have a new method to flash kernels that doesn't involve CWM. I haven't uploaded any yet, but you can soon use Kernel Manger from the market to download/install these on the Continuum. As of app version 1.1.2, it should be working, just have to upload something there to verify that it works.

[Continuum Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
So if i flash this kernel via odin will cwm then become easier to flash? because the only method i havent tried is taking the battery out and flashing the odin file, then as soon as i put the battery in flashing the update.zip to get cwm running. every other method has failed me and i like what this kernel has to offer so i was thinking about flashing it, knowing that cwm is easier to get running with this over the stock kernel would just be extra motivation lol :p

i only say this because i dont understand what is meant by integrated clockworkmod in voodoo5 kernels, if it means simply "if you flash this via odin, you already have clockwork" then i dont know why i waited so long!
[Continuum Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
Kernel manager v1.1.5 doesn't show a continuum
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
I've updated the OP. Kernel Manger support is in progress, and hopefully arrives sometime early this coming week.
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
Well i tried flashing the new kernel you posted, And well it locked up my phone.

After flashing it wouldnt boot, So i wiped everything and just tried to go back to what i had. And no i cant install any zip from the sd card. I keep getting errors and it just wont install.

Any one have any idea what could be the problem?
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
I don't know what the problem is, as it is working fine on the Continuum I'm using. But, you should be able to get back to being able to flash things by flashing CWM again, see here.
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
I just tried that and when i get into 2e recovery it says update.zip gone and it wont let my apply the update.
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Are you sure the update.zip is in fact on the sd card? :)
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
It was before i started doing any of this.
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
When i try to apply the update all it says is E: cant mount dev/block/stl
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
Well my phone could not be fixed so i got a new one free from verizon, As soon as i got it i rooted it and put the new CWM you uploaded on it and flashed this kernel and everything went fine. I have no idea what happen to my last phone lol.
[Continuum Android Development] circa881:
I don't suppose this supports custom boot animation does it?
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
No, until I can figure out the odd graphics on boot, it doesn't have any animation support atm.
[Continuum Android Development] circa881:
Yea I completely forgot about the video issues
[Continuum Android Development] lincoln3823:
I noticed when I was changing the softkey images I saw the images used for the bootanimations inside the Res.apk. I have not tried to change anything as of yet because I'm at work but I will see if I put someother image in place of one of the stock images and see what happens

I'll have an update soon-ish. I still haven't figured out the video issue on boot, but the update will bring Voodoo Sound V8 and also go back to stock boot animations as I found out that custom boot ani's were still supported despite me thinking I changed it back to stock.
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
1. Is it safe to flash the PeanutButta Jelly Time Kernel that you put up on the very first post? Is that the latest version of the kernel? What are the chances that I'm going to get my phone bricked? I'm running Adranalyne's DL17 ROM btw if that makes a difference.

2. What are all the bugs I have to worry about, and what are the fixes if there are any?

3. Can I flash the kernel using Kernel Manager Pro, or do I have to use Clockwork Recovery Mod?
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Can't wait for the update imnuts :D
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Updated the OP. I've included a Voodoo version, but I'd like to say that users should flash it with extreme caution. It is not heavily tested. If you have any doubts, flash the novoodoo version.
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
what's OP? and where's the updated version?
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Original Post and the update is attached to it.
[Continuum Android Development] circa881:
I flashed the novoodoo. Works well so far
[Continuum Android Development] CrazyKnight122:
Just flashed the Voodoo kernal so far everything is working great man, Thanks all this hard work.
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
I just have a few last questions. I apologize, I realize they get annoying but I really appreciate your guys' time and effort.

1. Are the steps to flashing the novoodoo kernel the same as the steps to flash the voodoo kernel?

2. When I boot up my phone, the boot animation is all screwy. There's no video when the audio is playing, and previous to the audio playing, there's...well there's really no way to describe it...it's just a jumbled up mess :/ Everything else works fine, but I'm just wondering if that means that I don't have the latest version? I downloaded it from the original post after imnuts said that he updated it so I'm just wondering if that's supposed to happen.

Thanks for your patience!

[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
Im having a problem disabling voodoo. I got tired of using voodoo because I couldnt download any apps from the market. I put an empty folder named "disable lagfix" in sdcard/Voodoo and rebooted. When I tried to download an app from the market, it still wouldnt let me, so I assumed that voodoo was still enabled. I then tried putting a file named "disable_lagfix" AND a file named "disable lagfix" in the sdcard/Voodoo folder and rebooted and I still cant download apps from the market. Is anybody else having this problem? Thanks in advance!

P.s. I noticed a "disable lagfix" option in the clockwork recovery menu. Can I disable voodoo using that option?
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
Never mind, I figuired it out
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
I think you have to select that option to disable lagfix, but I'm not entirely sure though. I had a bad experience with voodoo last time.

EDIT: sorry, I didn't see the above post.
[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
The CWM option should work, but no promises as I haven't tested it. All it does though is create the file on the SDCard, or remove it.

[Continuum Android Development] imnuts:
Updated the OP with new kernels. Novooodoo really only see's Voodoo Sound v9. Voodoo has Voodoo Sound V9 and the cache partition should now also remain as rfs to try and prevent issues with Market downloads. As always, be cautious when flashing the voodoo kernel as it is not heavily tested.
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
Any luck on getting the boot animation to work?
[Continuum Android Development] logan302:
voodoo

I'm running the edify clean and voodoo with no problems so far.

[Continuum Android Development] mellen_hed:
Do you need to reconvert voodoo after installing this kernel so the cache partition stays? or will it change a previously converted cache back?

Thanks, imnuts. Any and all help the continuum gets is a blessing.

Edit: too impatient to wait; first wouldn't wipe (couldn't mount /data?), then hung up later in the format and required a battery pull. Long story short; ended up getting the updated DL17 to flash, launcher kept looping and I ended up going back to CWM 2.5 and restoring so as to not have to listen to my gf when she got home and her phone was unusable. Wish I had the time to get proper logs, but I don't care to hear "I told you so's."

Re-edit: kernel is working, market is not. Undid and re-did lag fix. I'll actually be around the phone all week, if I can be of further assistance
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Convert back to rfs, then flash the kernel and convert back to voodoo...

But it's not worth anything, because market still doesn't work for me =/
[Continuum Android Development] logan302:
market

Yeah, just realized the market issue...moving back to novoodoo.
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
I can download stuff from the market.why is that?
[Continuum Android Development] mellen_hed:
Because you're using voodoo. Convert back to use market.
[Continuum Android Development] ntien:
That makes no sense. I'm using voodoo, which turns rfs into ext4. Ext4 prevents you from downloading apps from the market because it takes up too much room which is why people cant downloading apps from the market right? I dont have this problem, but I'm pretty sure voodoo is installed correctly...
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
download a terminal emulator, and run "mount"

Tell me if you see any "ext4" within there... Then we can know for sure...

Or if you have adb set up, i can tell you to do it that way too, but i highly doubt you do... If you do though, just let me know :)
[Continuum Android Development] mellen_hed:
Maybe I'm wrong and hopefully imnuts pops in and corrects me, but I think the partition table takes up extra room on whichever partition it is, thus not leaving any room for market downloads.... Any devs to back me up or tell me I'm wrong on this?
[Continuum Android Development] an-dru:
Okay guys I found a problem i've had the voodoo kernel installed for awhile with the market issue of course but I haven't downloaded anything so i haven't really noticed it but I disabled Lagfix from cwm and let it convert back and still no downloads... :( so i flashed novoodoo... still no downloads then I tried wiping the caches and still no luck...

Unfortunately I forgot to back up my stock kernel... so I can't try that but I do have adryn's test kernel installed currently and still no market downloads.

I tried sideloading with adb and it fails every time... the only idea I have left is reverting to a Nandroid backup... will that work maybe? Or if you guys have any other ideas I would be glad to try them :)

Thanks in advance! XP

[Continuum Android Development] an-dru:
Blazer... you effin rule man :D thanks again bro! I wish I could thank over this app!

But anyways... any idea what causes this? I ran "mount" in terminal when I was on each kernel and i noticed the difference in all of them, i guess that's why I was just really wondering if the nandroid restore was even necessary

[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
So a quick question... I had the novoodoo kernel installed and everything was working fine but I was feeling ambitious so I installed the voodoo kernel now Ive run into some problems. First which is most obvious is the scrambled startup screen is different. Second it starts up and I hear the verizon startup sound but then the screen goes black and stays black.

Some other symptoms that have arisen since the voodoo install are I cannot install the DL17clean.zip rom. I get an error in CWM that says something about error on line 4.... If I reboot into recovery and try to apply the update.zip it says it cant be found. I then have to reinstall the recovery in ODIN to get the update.zip to work.

The phone is pretty warm so maybe its doing something before it starts up fully???

Any insight?

Also if I install the test kernel or the novoodoo kernel I get the normal scrambled screen but no verizon startup sound and it hangs on that scrambled screen.
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Got it figured out..

Thanks to TBlazer for taking time out of his vacation to help me out.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sippolo:
Hi everyone.

I'd really like to know the steps to modify, recompile and finally build a kernel zip to flash on our O1.

For instance, I'm downloading the ThunderG Kernel from mik_os here: https://github.com/mik9/ThunderG-Kernel

But I really dont know how to procede.

The programming language seems to be C++, but...

Which compiler should I use to compile it?

The source code is 100+ Mb sized, how can I build the kernel in a simple zip to let me flash it through custom recovery?

I'm really new to all this, I've little experience in C/C++/Java programming, and I'd really like to know how to procede.

An example of initial use I'm interested in, is summing up various fixes from different kernel's and make a unique kernel to flash on my phone.

For the real example:

This: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929941

plus this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11166426&postcount=47 (waiting for source from the author)

I'd be really glad to see a newbie (not completely ^^) step-by-step guide doing everything from Windows platform.

I already read other topics on this argument, but none of them had a real guide that could be useful to anyone.

I want to thank you in advance :)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sippolo:
Couldn't Compiling and building a source code be done from any platform?

As far as I know it should (though I'm not an expert ^^).

I'd like to know if this can be done from Windows, as I'm not planning to change os at the moment :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
You can always use a Live CD of Ubuntu 10.10.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sippolo:
That's not the problem, I already installed Ubuntu other times, but I did a complete format these days and I'm not planning to install it anymore for now.

I still believe that I dont need it to compile a C/C++ source :)

I'd like to know the steps so I can say it surely.

If Linux is absolutely needed, I just want to know ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
I thing, that it can be possible compile on other system (cygwin + compilers, library, ...) but you will must download huge dependent software/library/source code. It probably will have same size as whole system :-/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sippolo:
Ok you convinced me, let's say I want to do it on ubuntu, could someone make a guide for everyone?

that would be great!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
I use gcc for compiling stuff. How to turn the compiled stuff into a package (for flashing) however, is what I don't know :D

What I would also like to know is how to incorporate a kernel into a ROM. That would shed some light. Thanks to whoever answers this! :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sippolo:
The ThunderG package includes a lot of things, do I have to compile the "kernel" folder only to build a kernel for flash?

I really don't know how to procede... ^^

I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 right now trough wubi..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Der_Caveman:
No, especially the kernel source code makes heavily use of filename case sensitivity.

In linux abcd.e and abcD.e are different files- in windows they are not.

Extract a linux Kernel in windows and you will see what I mean.

So even if you got the cross compilers and libs together you will not be able to compile the kernel.

Cygwin is a way- but you could also run XUbuntu with VirtualBox which easier.

The best and fastest is a native linux system.

Get the android ndk, extract it and append the folder with "arm-eabi-gcc" to your system path (export PATH=$PATH:"$NDKPATH/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin").

Extract Thunderg_Kernel.tar.gz, go to the directory and run "make thunderg-perf_defconfig" that will create a .config for the kernel. Or grab your O1 config from /proc/config.gz (per adb, ftp server app, copy with file manager to sd card...) and move it to $kerneldir/.config.

Have a look at "make menuconfig" and then try "make zImage".

Maybe you must install a few dependencies with synaptic (when you are using ubuntu).
