Hello again, going on my 4th new thread tonight (please no comments, Let's just say im starting to like phones ) Well anyways I wanted to max out my phone with an overclock kernal but I would rather find one that's compatible rather than brick my new phone. Could anyone suggest one? I tried searching the forums for a compatible kernal with no luck. Thanks
What rom are you running?
Glitterballs voodoo 1.2 overclocked kernel

Glitterballs will work with that. You will want to download voltage app. I think it is in the op
Where exactly is it? I'm pretty much a noob and the only files i've downloaded and installed are .zips, so if you could explain that would be awesome.
What kernel does darkeys user?
Download sgs kernel flasher from market

To be safe disable lagfix
Download kernel
Open sgs kernel flasher
Click on choose kernel
Select ......
Navigate to your download folder
Select kernel
Select flash kernel
After boot, kernel will be updated
Go into recovery
Advanced ulk options
Lagfix
Enable all ext 4
Go back
Tweaks
Click on all options except last
Go back
Reboot system
Select back up and restore
When booted up download voltage app
Kernel comes pre set to 1.2 ghz oc
I got until the recovery menu when I couldn't find the advanced ULK thing all I could find is Advanced and i couldn't find lagfix. I pressed something like fix permissions and then it fixed permissions. I rebooted into a screen that had Galaxy S I9000 with samsung at the bottom. Then a robotic lady voice said something long that i didnt catch and then it rebooted into that screen again and this time i listened and it said restore operation and rebooted so i took out the battery and it just keeps doing that. Please help!!!!!
Let it do it. Let it load. Voodoo is enabling. I was wrong about the lag fix on the kernel. Do not pull the battery again
It takes a couple of minutes. Man, I am sorry I have been using a different kernel and got crossed on what lag fix it has. I hope it loads, please in future do not panic and pull battery so quickly
Alright I'm sorry i just freaked when I couldn't even get into recovery mode. I let it sit but my dad is a senior member of the site and he tells me these stories of how people have new phones and they brick them out of the box, so when I heard that weird voice i flipped. How long does it usually take?
Couple of minutes. No more then ten
Ok It's been a long time and it's still just sitting there saying restore operation. At this point I don't care about the kernal, what can I do to get my phone back to normal or even factory reset???
Wait. Do you have allot of apps? It is converting all your data
As long as it is talking we are still moving along
Respond to my pm
No I just got this for christmas. I have ytt3r's version of Darky's ROM and as i was looking over it, I noticed all these little things like texts and there was ALOT of them.
Hi there.
First off, please forgive my posting this thread into the general, but I'm still restricted to posting replies in the dev subsection where the Darky thread is at.
I'm a Bell vibrant user, and I'm having big issues with Darky's 9.0.2; my first custom ROM.
I updated from ugjl2, so I have the sbl.bin that [hopefully] avoids the corrupt SD issue.
I downloaded darky and speedmod kernel to get a CWM. I flashed the speedmod with ODIN fine. I then added the ROM to my internal SD and used CWM to apply it. All went well. I used the full wipe ROM.
Now that I'm running Darky's though, it's wonderfully smooth and responsive except that every once in a while, when I press the BACK button, it just hangs.... for like, 45-120 seconds or more. I get impatient and hit HOME and it snaps a screenshot; as if I were pressing both buttons simultaneously. Locking the screen with the power button then unlocking seems to help most, but not all of the time.
Is this because I'm using the VooDoo kernel (default option) without applying the VooDoo lagfixes? Darky states that this ROM automatically uses the ext4 filesystem, which should negate the need for the voodoo lagfix. Would I be better off to just apply the default lagfixes in CWM or reflash with the speedmod kernel selected in darky's configurator?
What are other culprits that could cause he otherwise fast system to hang on pressing back.... there doesn't seem to any pattern to when it happens that I can find... but it does happen quite a bit.
I searched the forums for this, but found no hits, any help is appreciated and TYIA.
You can grab the "android Terminal emulater " from market .. Type in "mount " and See your partitions and filesystems.. i dont think the default is ext4, its rfs..
Sent from my Galaxy S using XDA App
You're absolutely right.
All of my partitions seem to be RFS.
Odd though because in the features section of darky's thread it says explicitly that it converts all partitions to ext4. Oh well.
What's the recommendation then? Shouldn't RFS also not require lagfixing? I thought it was the samsung ext2 partitions that caused the lag.
In any case, this doesn't feel like regular lags, the system straight up hangs on pressing the back button sometimes.
ieatrocks,
I would check that the lagfix is installed.
I upgraded to Darky's v8.1 on Sunday just before v9.0 came out. v8.1. did not have lagfix installed by default so I manually ran through CWM which is there is an option to run. This made things smoother.
I then flashed to v9.02 this morning and it feels faster and smoother. My understanding is that you do not need to uninstall lagfixes and not that it is automatically installed but please check in CWM. I think the only option to convert is ext4. RFS is the laggy one which is why it converts to ext4. I also enabled all of the recommended tweaks.
Hopefully, this will give you what you expect as the experience is great for me.
Ok, trying both voodoo default options now. Will report back in a few. Thanks.

Not 100% gone but a *whole* lot better.
Thanks
I noticed the very odd stutter but not as bad as you mentioned. Have you checked the recommended tweaks? Other option is a wipe if possible. For me, this is a whole lot better than I've ever had
I'm surprised, running Darky's new rom and don't have any lags. I'm not running any lagfixes since android 2.2.1 therefore still on the RFS.
I'm using speedmod kernel though, I had some reboot problem with voodoo on Darky 8.0 . Maybe you should try to fully wipe it clean and reinstall after backing up your data, that's what i usually do, it's better to start fresh!

does any know how to change the color of text from green to default , in the messaging app?
i think your back button gets stuck, because you have mentioned that if you press the home key, it takes a screenshot.
i think somebody else had this problem too. he solved it by some way but i cant remember where it was right now.
just use the search option for 'back button stuck'.
hope it helps.
edit: i think he updated his touchkey firmware by a secret code but i am not sure.
mate....
your post should be deleted...
The Rom doesn't apply by him self any lag fixer.
Use the configurator with option WIPE, reapply Darky Rom and them post issues...
There is a reason why you are not allowed in developer section...
Read the post and use the F******ING SEARCH FUNCTION

I used the search function. Do you have any idea how many false hits about generic lags I got? I spent a couple of hours looking before posting my detailed situation here.
Darky's by default uses the full wipe option if you're on any rom other than a previous version of Darky's; so my install was a full WIPE. I stated that pretty obviously in my first post. Why you would fly off the handle and start cursing out new users without having the common courtesy or sense to actually read what they wrote before presenting yourself as some sort of rageaholic on a forum is just bizarre.
Thanks to the guy who suggested I look into the firmware update; I can run with that.

Found that thread and everything is fixed now!

Updated my firmware in Darky's and lost both buttons, Turned off the lagfixes, flashed back to ugjl2, updated the touchkey firmware, reflashed speedmod for CWM, and finally re-applied Darky's with a full wipe.
Perfect!
No lagfixes applied on this fresh install yet and everything is working great.
Gave you thanks on the post for the tip.

Hahahaha oh man, I wasn't trying to cast gloom on your awesome ROM Darkyy.
The touchkey firmware hang/lag and fix weren't related to your ROM at all. It looks like it would have happened anyways no matter which ROM I used, I just happened to pick yours.
...which I am enjoying a lot btw. Thanks for all the hard work
EDIT: I found out how to change my thread title, so no more false bad advertising for Darkyy.

Dude... chill out.. what you getting so upset about.. he's asking a question so he's in the right place, we all started off newbies needing some guidance, Its not the end of the world no body forced u to read / reply to this thread.. jeeez.. go take yourself for a long walk.. of a short pier...
soo... :-" has any of you guys come up with an ideea to change the green text from the messaging app back to normal ? pls?
fllipper that should be handled by the theme. AFAIK any deodexed rom can be updated with themes that alter the look including the color and text schemes of the default apps that you normally can't change.
The right place to ask this is in the themes and apps subforum. I may be completely wrong with the theme advice, but I'm reasonably sure there is an entire subforum dedicated to questions like yours.
I've tried countless combinations of trying to get the HC build on my Tab and each time I can't get this thing to boot...
If someone has been successful at getting it working on their Sprint tab could you please outline the steps taken, in detail if possible, to accomplish it?
Thank you in advance!

Bumping this thread. I'm interested too
Installed cwm using the how to that is sprint specific in the dev section of the forum. (use heimdall and make sure you install all the drivers right).
Then flashed the zip file in cwm by renaming it "update.zip" and selecting update from sd card.
At the moment flashing to hc is not worth it for a daily driver tab. It took me forever to figure out how to go back to froyo afterwards. I figured it out tonight. Someone has an Odin prepackaged with the stock everything. There is a thread in the dev section. But it's burried a little.
If it were me I'd wait for a more mature release (hat tip to spacemoose for being awesome).
I would post links to these things but I'm still on a low post count. Pm me.
Thanks, Thisrobot! I'll try that process as well.
I always seem to have issues having Heimdall recognizing my device, perhaps I'll start there.
I also want to check out HC, but all the instructions I find are for Heimdall, and I also have issues getting it to connect with my Tab. Posted a Q about making a tar file (odin works fine with my Tab) to get CWM working, but haven't heard back yet.
here is that thread that thisrobot mentiond for going back to stock....works very well. I had to use it the other day.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009926&page=4
I'm also starting to think that HC is just not ready for prime time, at least not on our hardware at the moment.
i've been able to get HC running on my tab twice now. But it's just not functional enough for me (no wpa2 wifi and quite laggy) for daily use. really hoping to see the CDMA CM7 up and running soon! So for now, guess it's stock rooted till something better and functional comes along..

I wouldn't say it's laggy. It is a very good rom, and the dev is addressing a lot of the things mentioned in the beta. The dev has also released an oc'ed kernel, (1.4 Ghz), so it is coming along nicely.
To use heimdell you need to be in download mode, power yountabbnoff and press power and volumedown simultaniously.
Is it so laggy? I would like to try, but if it becomes the tab useless, i will wait. What are the folks opinion on HC performance?

I am very much new on Rooting the NC. I finally updated to the 1.3 and then used the manual nooter to root it again. However, after doing quite a bit of research, I have been seeing people posting about flashing the
" Dalingrin Kernels" ??
What are these?? and if it would help my NC to be a little more stable, or faster, could I use these?? and if so, how would I do this??
Thanks!!
They are customized kernels that allow for overclocking, and some other "unlocked" features. They are actually included in the CM7 nightlies now, so you don't have to flash them separately. You can go into the Cyanogenmod Settings to change the CPU clock in the Performance section to overclock. Other stuff that's working include bluetooth and usb host mode.
I would highly recommend just using one of the latest nightly CM7 releases. If you want to stick with rooted stock, then you should still be able to flash the kernel, I believe.
Add on to what pony said,
+ it created by Dalingrin, that's why it gets the name.
+ Dalingrin recently release new set of kernels in September, but I have no clue what news, enhancements or any advanced features added. I hope he will post the log some days.

Find the Dalingrin post in the Development section that contains the link to kernals. Use the 090111 kernal (there are two so pick the one that is to be flashed from the SD card). You can use the same CWM SD card that was used to install Manualnooter. Put the zip on the card, the card in the Nook, boot to CWM and flash. Following a reboot, you will be in business.
I did this when I installed Manualnooter 4.6.16 but you should be able to do it at any time. I coud not tell you if it makes any difference as I did not run rooted 1.3 without it.
I have been running MN 4-6-16a on NC software version 1.3 for over a year now. It's not totally stable (I get some freeze-ups occasionally & have to reboot) but it's workable. The other day, my wifi stopped working. Wifi goes off, and when I turn it on, it can't find my router, I get a black box that says 'unable to scan for networks', and it stops responding and the Nook asks me if I want to force close wifi. If I select 'wait' instead of force close, wifi shuts off.
Router works fine, other devices are connected. I have searched other threads, and it seems that some suggest installing CM7, though these suggestions are from a year ago.
Is there something more current I sould be running that would fix this problem. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated for this newbie.

The latest ROM for Nook Color is CM10 Jellybean 4.1.2 with a 3.08+ kernel. You can install it on a SD card and try it.If you like how it works you can install it internally. There are great tips threads you can utilize to help get you to the latest ROM. I use CM10 internally on my Nook Color. My other Nook Color has CM7.1 (gingerbread with 2.6.32 kernel). CM10 is running pretty smooth and just as fast as CM7.2.

Wow, that thread has 155 pages ... hard to get through all that .... I did read the first page, though
OK, so I should download CM10 latest nightly version & install ... I don't seem to have a way to back up my data or current ROM since I don't have an internet connection that works. Yes, I could install to SD, but I've read that there can weird problems with this? So I was going to jump right in to an internal install, but it looks like I will lose data for my apps. Is there any advantage to downloading CM7 instead of 10? I ask only because I found a good site with good (newbie) instructions on doing CM7, and the site I found for CM10 has some stuff that I don't completely understand.
Really, I don't have great aspirations for using my NC ... I just need wifi to work so I can access my apps, and that's the only reason I am looking at flashing a new ROM. Is this the only way to go to fix wifi?

Many thanks, hwong96! I followed the directions and got CM10 working on an sd and wifi works fine. I am going to take a look at upgrading the stock software and then rooting to see if I can get that working as well, as I prefer the B&N interface/look-and-feel. But in the meantime, at least I have a functioning tablet again. Thank you!
