Hello Im messing with my girlfriends phone and was wondering what kernel I should use?
So far I have tried 710LegendKernel-signed.zip and 768FreshToast-signed.zip. The 710 legend kernel is the only one that worked. But upon recently she has been having force closes when receiving a call and restarting the phone.
What is your recommendation
also can someone give me a link to the stock kernel so I dont have to nandroid back to it, for future reference?
Stock kernel attached (from Fresh 2.1.2)
And 710 kernel with Stock Ramdisk attached(for overclock) ((NO RAMSWAPZ, COMPCACHE, ETC))

They're all utilizing Toast's Godm0de kernel.
Her phone may not be able to boot to 768*
Regardless, the 710LegendKernel is for phones that utilize/need for optimization the Legend ramdisk. (Darchlegend)
So yeah, tell me if those zips work for you
*some phones just can't
okay I am testing this soon, but i wanted to add that with that kernel I was down to ~650 MHz and it was still doing it, but it sounds like it wasnt a overclock issue maybe?
alright the 710 stock ramdisk didnt start up, it just froze at the htc screen and never booted, twice.
does this clear the dalvik cache? Its looking like the stock signed kernel doesnt work either(freezes like the last one)
okay one other option. What would be a good ROM with sense? The only way she would let me do this is if I restore all of her apps and also her settings. Whats my options. I'm guessing use astro for the apps and then just write down her ringtone and sms/mms tones? What other pertinent data should I record

I'd help more but I'm poolside enjoying a corona. BTW, if you're looking for sense with oc just download/flash freshtoast.
I'm not quite sure why those zips didn't work for you though.

Ever since i found these forums I have been a complete ROM flashing junkie. I have tried pretty much all the ROMS available and have had the most luck with dc 2.08.1 with the damage710 oc kernel. Its stable with no lag, for me at least, which is why I keep coming back.
I use Titanium Backup because it will not only back up the app itself but the app's data and market link (so it will still notify you of any updates available).
Thread moved to Q&A.
Hey I flashed the latest stable fresh ROM and then flashed the 710 Stock Ramdisk and its working. Is this a good combo? I was working with limited battery on my net book while looking so I just tried this.

Perfect combo, since it's the ramdisk from fresh 2.1.2(which is the stock) which you are using.
Good to hear things worked out.
also I noticed that its a lot smoother when everything is working right. It is a lot better than when I was using the legend 710 kernel
So she is still having the problem with a force close when unlocking the phone to answer the phone(she has the sense lock screen). It doesnt go to the call screen, just the normal htc lock screen. This is with fresh rom with a 710mhz kernel and stock ramdisk. The latest one. Any ideas?

Get a logcat, i'll look at it.
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
Recreate the problem with the fc,
and upload/paste it to pastebin.
hmm I will try, I read through a bunch of pages(starting at 56 ) on the fresh toast and it seems to be a known problem. But I will try to get a logcat, the problem is is that its so random. Does the logcat have to be running at the time or can I do it after the force close comes up
I know Im grouping all my questions into one thread but can you answer one more thing for me? Her HTC weather has very limited locations and the htc clock/weather widget doesnt update for the weather. Do I need an updated .apk?
GOTIT! Here is the log cat link

Nightly builds for the Thrill (P925) has stopped, P920 builds will work on Thrill P925.
Builds can be found here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p920
Changelog can be found here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p920
There should be NO problems at all to upgrade from the latest SelfKang to the lastest Nightly Build.
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Create a nandroid backup in CWM.
* Install the latest Nightly.
* Reboot.
If you're currently using a stock rom or a custom rom that is not based on CM then you must make a factory reset/format data in CWM after installing the latest nightly.
Else you'll get stuck in a bootloop.
NOTICE:
* Please note that this rom will replace your old one if you have a stock rom (Froyo or Gingerbread).
Everything on your current rom will be useless, so backup everything!
If you're currently using Froyo, then you need to flash the latest Baseband;
Use the "LG Updater tool" to update to the latest Stock version so you'll get the latest Baseband, re-root your phone and download Rom Manager from the market.
Install CWM, do a Nandroid backup and install the latest nightly build of CM7.
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T USE CM:
If you're using the 3D functions of your phone as well as the HDMI then you shouldn't change to CM at the moment.
3D and HDMI is broken.
And yes, these releases are newer than the SelfKang4.
This is Not my mod and try asking in this thread before posting me a PM, you'll get a faster reply here.
I've never understood Nightly builds.
What's most of the difference you'll see?

this may be a full ROM... right?
i used to use CM7 in my SE X10 Mini Pro, and i loved it...
but here on thrill one... what r the limits? does it has 3D??? Radio??? GPS??? Wifi??? it's all working?
i tried to read changelog, but as i am not a developer i cant understand clearly 80% of the info... can u tell what it's not working?
one more question is... is it running GB 2.3.7???? dn't i need to change baseband to GB one???? i have stock froyo rom from LG...

I think 3D and HDMI aren't working. Radio, GPS, and wifi were all working before the nightly. I can confirm that wifi is working great. I haven't used GPS so not sure how well it works or not.
It is running 2.3.7 . No you don't need to do anything with the baseband.
The only complaint I have is that the person i call using this rom hears a really bad echo

How about make it mount internal and external SD card?
Is there a way to get headset recognition as well? I pressed mine a couple time while playing music, wouldn't pause or skip tracks like normal CM7 would. I've had atleast 2 reboots now but everything else seems great
Alright, time to start building some nightlies.........Ill be on my own in a few weeks....
Yup, but we need something other than this trashy 'CyanogenMod'.
I personally hate CM in general, it's not n00b friendly and it just looks plain dumb.
But if anyone could rocket a GB ROM without having to install a GB break, then count me in.
I hope to see a Froyo ROM soon.
Love you guys but the Thrill is trash and the mods here suck.

Eh, I agree to a certain extent. However, I wouldn't count noobs as those rooting, flashing ROMs, etc etc. So if they can't be bothered to google some CM info, welll, then...
As far as dumb, most of the time, our phones look dumb out of the box. The CM ROM is just as customizable as any other ROM. I got rid of the skateboard alien ASAP. What is kinda cool is the theme chooser so that you make a bunch of the stuff like battery stat, various widgets, dialer, etc all look different in one click.
I think most of us are just kinda waiting until the new cool phones come out in 2012 and move on.
are there any kernels for this with OC? im coming from foryo and my benchmark would hit up to 3300. now i cant even reach 3k.

I think a lot of people are having the issue with the call echo. Seems to be a problem with the ambient/noise cancellation microphone. Not a big deal if you turn down the call volume.
I am having other issues with the first nightly; can't select items in the notification bar, misaligned keyboard, etc. so will be sticking with SK4 for the time being. That being said, however; it is nice that the Thrill is getting a little love. I'll still be checking the dailies and looking out for a stable build.

Not a kernel, but you can use the same script like before, Check Tekahuna's post, you can get the files for CM there aswell.

If you want to go back to froyo, use the LG updater tool to go back to stock, there is a few threads that describes how. After that, you can just root your device and go back to the old backup.
thank you very much.... I will do just that

Had the weirdest bug ever on the 2nd nightly last night. I was at the mall playing cards when my phone suddenly made this alarm-esque noise. No matter what I did, i couldn't get it to stop. I had to restart my phone which finally put an end to it. Hopefully i don't experience that again lol.
Nightly 2 still has the echo thing going on. I'll try the new ones as they come out.
I have a question : Before on froyo, my SD had a partition that i could put various things into. After flashing CM7, this partition seems to be invisible from my phone (root explorer). For some reason, my computer at home cannot access this partition, but my computer at work can. I have filled my internal sd card from restoring apps. How can I access this partition, or repartition so the internal SD has more space?
Any help with this would be appreciated.

I completely know what you mean by SD card.
If you goto CM7 settings> Application, there should be an option named "Use internal storage". If you check that box and reboot, it just flip flops the SD cards. You can access the other, but can't the other. Kinda annoying, wish I had a 32GB MicroSD right about now
i tried going back to froyo from this and it was stuck on LG too. i had many backups. i was able to go back to froyo by flashing doomed again. idk what it is about that one but it took it back to froyo just fine. and from there you can flash ur recovery and ull b fine
I had the crazy-alarm-type bug happen again just now. I believe it was caused by a notification sound that is supposed to play, but instead, starts clipping at an alarming rate at full volume. I tried just about everything you can think of to stop this cacophonous noise, but had to ultimately shut down the phone.
As far as the "SD thing", I did find out that the other portion of the card is actually listed under "mnt" and then "emmc" for anyone that was wondering. I can access this from the phone as well.
So far the nightly builds are great, thanks for the hard work!

Hi, ive been reading around the forum and have read people talkin about beats audio in built to the rom they are using, im not using a rom cos im too scared of the brick bug but i do have a pair of beats by dre solos, i was just wondering if the beats file came as a standalone zip which u can use if u are just rooted? Or would i have to flash a rom to get it? If it is a zip file or whatever could someone be kind enough to put a link to it as ive looked in the dev sections and could not find it, ill have another look again but im pretty sure it werent there.

Im rooted on stock 4.0.4 with stock recovery.

beats audio in Carbon's tweaks are never meant to show any notifications at all. You need to feel and experience the sound after you have installed his tweak.
In case you also know... there is a beats audio installer in the market :https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb3Rpb25jb2RpbmcuYmVhdHMiXQ... which I'm also using it now. Download and install it, it'll reboot your phone and try experiencing your phone's sound after.

Hi everybody, here's the question.
I'm on cm7, latest nightly, and I'm using psn 's modded firekernel. I tried flashing djsky2011's beats audio, mounting /system as required, and it was successful... excepted that it broke the rear speaker.
Audio via Bluetooth and speaker was good, and even phone calls could be redirected to rear speaker without problems, but any attempt to play music (either from videos and songs) resulted in a loud noise and nothing else. I had to restore a backup..
Did anyone have the same problem?
Sent from my Ace on Apocalypse Rom
So is there anybody who has an idea of why only the rear speaker sound output is broken?
Sent from my Ace on Apocalypse Rom
Does someone at least know what files in the beats audio mod refer to back speaker? I could try removing them and flash it again...
Thanks for your help.

Checked them and found nothing about it, also they are rather old. I followed the installation instructions correctly, in fact you only need to mount /system and flash the file.
I'll try asking in the thread then, I thought asking here in q&a was meant to be more appropriate.
Thank you anyway for your answer.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem as you have. My phone is an alcatel ot 990. And it is running a beta unofficial rom...
I think the problem is that beats audio has never been designed to work with phones that have more then two speakers, although i am going to check the config files.
You should listen poweramp, it's better than Brats audio.

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )

if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?

Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
