[Q] (Q) Galaxy S OC Kernel flash-ability

With Z4Mod's kernel module flashing ability is it possible to flash an already written Glaxay S variant OC module? I assume voltages and stable frequencies are identical.
I've never flashed a module using Z4Mod but I recently tackled Odin and I'm feeling adventurous
I'm willing to use my Galaxy Tab as the test bed so no one else has to worry about having an expensive paper weight for the holidays.
Thanks a million
-Landon

Simple advice: dont do it.
Never flash anything designed for another device. Yes, the GalaS and the Tab may be similar, but its where theyre not similar that make the big difference.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll try a different route.Is the operating frequency contained in the build.prop? If I try tweeking the frequency w/o flashing a module I believe the worst I could do is freeze the device. Then a fix would be as easy as a reflash from a backup or use rotohammer's .tar.

no the frequency and voltage settings are set in the kernel! you would need to recompile the kernel and then flash the new kernel from heimdall or odin!
i almost finished an overclock kernel but i dont want to flash it when im done because im afraid to brick the device and i have problems compiling it and i dont have so much time atm because i have to do tests at school so i need to learn! but i can give u the files u need to edit if u want so

Off topic, but I dig your handle. Mixes my name and Android I'll give it a shot. Send them my way and I'll see what I can do. I'll have to brush up on my Linux skills though. I used Ubuntu up until 10.04 when I switched to the (Bill Gates) dark side but I still have Karmic installed on my dual boot machine.

so u need to mess around with the kernel source, i can upload it if u want so!
but if u already got 'em, u need to mess with these files:
GT-P1000_kernel.tar/Kernel/drivers/cpufreq/
there is the freq_table and the cpufreq.c and we need to find a way to edit them and speed up our hummingbirds! we should also take a look at the manhattan project! they managed it to overclock the galaxy s!

If you could, post the link for me. I'm at work now so there isn't much I can do but I'll definitely start tinkering when I get home.

Keep us posted! Been waiting for an overclocked kernel!

I compiled my own kernel...but wasn't brave enough to flash it onto my Tab

Yeah me too but i wonder if we can flash a working kernel ( if we bricked thetab) with heimdall

It has an option to flash just zImage by itself. Failing that you could always just reflash the whole thing.

That was my assumption and why I'm not too scared to give this a shot.

Heimdall
I'm having trouble finding a dl for Heimdall. Anyone know of a good link? Odin is fine but I'd like to mess around with Heimdall, broaden my horizons. Most of my Android knowledge comes from HTC devices so this as much a learning experience as it is fun.
EDIT: Never mind. Found it.

Did you flash anything yet?

Flashing a kernel is not hazardous. If it doest work properly then you just flash back a good one.
Now as for the bootloader, flashing that scares me!

[ROM / GT-P7510] - Stock Rooted / No Mods / De-Odex'ed - HC 3.2 - HTJ85B.UEKMP

As the name implies this is a bone stock rooted ROM with the exception of root and busy and its de-odexed.
I also updated all the apps. So its not really bone stock but.. Close enough
This ROM has two purposes...
1. For someone that wants just that, a stock rooted ROM with no mods.
2. For others that want to dive into development or at least tinker around with there own custom ROM. This is a great base to work from! All the menial tasks such as rooting and de-odeodexing have been done for you.
Hope you find value in this!

Correct, WiFi only. GT-P7510 = WiFi only model.
It may work on on the variants but I really dont know because I dont have one.
If the mount points are the same then you can flash it and let us know.
What model do you have?

I have the wifi only, and am trying to get a stock only rom thats rooted, i download a rom and each time i try to download from market i keep getting download failed so i figured i try stock again and yours looks prettty promising.

If you get download failed try to clear market data in Application Settings. That usually fixes the dreaded market download failure.

Wow... I wonder if they locked your account or something. I just tried on my phone and it was fine. Making a new Tab ROM so I cant test that now.
Did you Google the error by any chance?

I googled it and it seems like there was a issue like this last year and it was due to a download limit supposley it was fixed then

I'm on stock KMN that I rooted myself and am showing an update to KMP, but it fails every time so I figure it's probably due to the fact that I'm rooted.
That said, I thought I would give this a try, but I'm loath to reinstall everything afterwards so my question is whether this requires a wipe? I'm assuming this is installed from recovery, is that right?

many define a custom rom by the option to compile a kernel from source.
we cannot include a modified kernel, without semi-bricking our devices.
but we can change startup and we can init kernel parameters a second time, to allow loading of different services and libraries, which for some is enough to load a customized kernel for graphics mod, removing adware, loading modules and porting cm10,aokp and other roms, like sense or similar miui roms.
i personally believe a port of highly modified rom, is custom. other believe its not a real rom
anyways with the clockworkmod i made its possible, as long as you do the same hijack when needed to change kernel init services or libraries to load.

lack of support from more developers i guess, seems other hardware devices are more popular, and propably much easier to get donations on that on a device with locked bootloaders where development stops at the locked device. today, donations is very popular and driving many towards popular devices.

[Kernel] [T210] 4.1.2 Kernel for use w/ KitKat Bootloader

This kernel is for users that have flashed the KitKat firmware but decided to return to a 4.1.2 based rom.
To clarify, This is for 4.1.2 Touchwiz based roms only.
Reason for new kernel:
The new KitKat bootloader does not allow offline charging to work properly with the older 4.1.2 kernels. This kernel fixes that issue and offline charging will work as it did on full stock 4.1.2 firmware.
What kernel is this?
This is @ketut.kumajaya's blackhawk 2.1 kernel (compiled by me) modified to work with the new KitKat bootloader. All credit is given to him for the original kernel and the new fix. I am posting this per his wishes.
Other Features:
See the original blackhawk thread for other features of this kernel.
Source:
See original blackhawk thread .
Modifications: See THIS post.
Installation:
Flashed attached zip in your custom recovery.

Thanks gr8nole for this kernel! You have done so much for us tab 3 users. Keep up the great work! I wish you the best!

It is the same same kernel as ketut's Blackhawk with minimal changes, so it should perform just as well as that one (which always performed great).

Please there is something I discovered now. Whenever I open maps, after some time the tablet would freeze until I do hard reset.
I also discovered that much RAM is being used, seems the system doesn't manage RAM usage well again by closing some apps when RAM is getting used up. I think this is the reason for the tablet freezing. Even after factory restore, it continued that way. All these after installing the blackhawk kernel.
Can the kernel be replaced with stock by flashing through Odin? Or if there is any other remedy, I'll appreciate it much. Thanks

Hi, the 1st image shows 5.0.2 lollipop?! How did you get that please?

???

does this kernel work on all phones, sprint att and such with stock roms or do i need a custom rom?
also, i am used to flashing roms and kernels on galaxy phones, so this is new to me. Is it the same process? Get into TWRP and install the zip? Or do i need to do a complete wipe? If i want to return back to stock for any reason, what will I have to then? Basically, im concerned with erasing my data.

The kernel is universal, works for everything. Just flash the zip same process, boot into twrp and flash the kernel and then reboot.

For those of us running LS your home and multitasking buttons will disappear. You can use pie controls to counter this. Also your lock screen won't work it will just shown your home screen when you dt2w or press the power to wake the device. I don't use a lock code so this is what happens to me. I love Franco's kernels after using them on my Nexus 7 and I can't wait to use this one once the issues are fixed.

You can flash the kernel with on click via the app. Its painless and awesome. If you haven't used the app before check out the options there are even ones to save previous kernels and per app settings. The app is worth every penny.

It should automatically apply, I haven't used Franco's kernel in a while since I sold my Nexus 7 (2013) a few months ago. A lot has changed in the app since then. I would try some things and see what happens.

It's obvious that you're pirating the app because the app isn't even called FKUBeta anymore. Buy the application and then your problems with the application will go away.

You won't regret buying it for the convenience of flashing newer versions of the kernel.
