What happens if you try flashing darktremor?
By the way, why did you return to stock firmware?

Maybe kernel don't support.

Proper support for dutch language And the stock look of gingerbread, wich i like. BUt if there is no way to get a2sd to work then i go straight back to cm7. Darktremor a2sd does not do anything, in terminal it says illegall command and a2sdgui says something is wrong. Also ad2sdx does not work, s2e does not work.

It won't work, since you're on the stock ROM with stock kernel. You need kernel that supports A2SD.

WHat kernel supports stock rom and a2sd? Thanks in advance

Any Gingerbread kernel that is marked as suitable for AOSP or AOSP/CM7 should do. Look at the kernel threads, this info will most likely be in the thread title.

There are so many kernels... Bloody hell! Anyways i would like to use a kernel that is suitable for ad2sdx. Can you please also provide install instructions? (noob here)
Thanks in advance

Install instructions are pretty much straightforward. Reboot to recovery, flash kernel, reboot, see that OS is loading and feels fine, reboot to recovery, flash A2SD, reboot, see that everything's still fine, open Terminal Emulator or A2SDGUI, configure what you want.

[Q] How to switch from a rom using cm6 to cm7?

Hi all, I recently took the plunge into the world of custom roms and its awesome, so much better then stock
I have flashed my x8 with the Froyo 2.2.1/Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 rom by ponanovn and he has just released a new rom Gingerbread 2.3.5/Cyanogenmod 7.1-Pre using cm7, When I first installed the orginal Froyo 2.2.1 I used x recovery and simply renamed the file to update.zip and simply flashed it and it worked however on his page he doesnt say rename the file to "update,zip" anymore and he says make a back up in "cwm recovery" instead of xrecovery is it neccesary to use cwm recovery with cm7? im just a bit confused if anyone could help me I would be gratefull Thanks

Thanks I was having a look at it before and it seemed pretty good, might just make the change to GingerDX, are you using it? if so are there any bugs etc? cheers
Yes, I'm using v005. SO SMOOTH!!! And 3MP camera!! I have no bugs at all. If you have bugs, make a full wipe.
I can recommend GingerDX as well, it is updated on a regular basis, and doixanh is one of the best ROM developers for X8 currently, he just seems to be able to pull things off that noone expected, like the 3mp camera fix for instance!
I agree, GingerDX is the most complete 2.3 Rom. There is updates nearly every day and each update will preserve your data, no major bugs and if there is DX will sort it.
Thanks for the help
I would suggest GingerDX.
But you can try to use multiboot if you have a class 6 or more sd card instead of changing a ROM.

Can I install CM7 on 2.1 kernel?

Hi guys, another newbie question from me
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I flash a v2.1 SBF, then the kernel will also be flashed to v2.1 as well right?
Ok, so we also have a variety of custom roms. Some are based on v2.2 kernel, while some are for v2.1.
Now my question is, I know that CM7 is based on v2.2 kernel. Currently, I'm using a stock v2.1 SBF, so the kernel is also v2.1 as well. I want to know that despite this, can I still flash CM7 custom rom (which again is based on v2.2 kernel) on my phone? Or can I only flash a CM6 custom rom that is based on v2.1 kernel?

Are you rooted on stock 2.1? Even CM6 is on the 2.2.1 kernel, so you would have to flash the 2.2 Vulnerable Recovery and then reroot, if I'm not mistaken.

your kernel will update after install the CM7, because CM7 contain the new 2.2 kernel, you can flash CM7 directly, but remember to flash the BPSW update.

Yes i'm rooted on stock 2.1. Initially, I couldn't get into OpenRecovery after flashing the stock 2.1 SBF, whereas I could when I was on stock 2.2. I did some searching and found this:
http://android.doshaska.net/rootable
and flashed the vulnerable recovery and now everything works fine. I got my phone rooted and currently using the TelusLite v5.2 for Eclair. However, i'm not sure if the vulnerable recovery is the 2.2 or not, i'm guessing it is?

Ok now i'm confused. From what I know, the bootloader for Motorola devices like the Milestone is locked. Therefore, we can't properly flash a custom rom on the phone, and we can't flash a different kernel either (which is why if you try to change one of the settings that relate to the kernel in OpenRecovery, you'll brick your phone).
So I've always thought that only flashing a stock SBF will change the kernel, and that the custom roms will rely on the stock kernel, hence why there're custom roms for different Android versions, like Eclair and Froyo? So ya i'm a little bit confused here.
Also, what's the BPSW update? What does it stand for and is that included in the CM7 custom rom topic? I couldn't find it and Google didn't find anything either.....

Oh and one more thing, I think this is a bug so can someone look into it? The statusbar hides itself and to unhide it, you have to ADWSettings (press the Menu capacitive button, in between the back and home button, and then click More, then choose ADWSettings).
Then, click on System preferences, and the first option is "Hide Statusbar".
The problem is, that option is by default already un-ticked, which means it does NOT hide your statusbar. And yet, the statusbar is hidden........the only way to fix this is to enable the option so that it actually hides it, then close everything and go back to your desktop, and then open ADWSettings again and then un-tick it. This will fix it and make the statusbar appear.
However, if you move your shortcuts/icons on the desktop around, or if you move it to the Trash, then this will undo the statusbar change and will make it hide again. So then you'll have to do this constantly, so I suggest you guys make sure your desktop shortcuts are fully configured, and then make the statusbar change at the end.

ahh I see......but I still don't understand the part about the kernel.
I thought that every new firmware version update will use a newer version of the kernel? If yes, then how can custom roms like CM7 that requires kernel for v2.2, be installed on stock v2.1? Unless both the v2.1 and v2.2 stock SBF use the same kernel version? But then again, why are there specific roms for Eclair and Froyo? If you look at this topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966812
the OP says that some of those roms might not work because of different kernels. So it leads me to believe that if you're on stock v2.1, then the kernel is different than if you're on stock v2.2, hence why the custom roms you can install are separated by Eclair and Froyo......
And lastly, if custom roms like CM7 will install the v2.2 kernel, shouldn't that require the bootloader to be unlocked?? I thought we can't change the kernel yet? I'm confused....

What you're confusing is that the version of android such as 2.2 is NOT the Kernel. The only way for you to change the kernel per se is to flash an sbf such as the Eclair or Froyo sbf. These are signed by Motorola and have holes in the code that have been exploited so we can flash Custom ROMs. The only things that we can do is flash a custom ROM or flash an SBF through RSD Lite. Kernels cannot be changed otherwise.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
ya I understand that, and that's exactly the reason why i'm confused.....
If you flash a v2.1 SBF, then your Android version is v2.1 (Eclair).
If you flash a v2.2 SBF, then your Android version is v2.2 (Froyo).
Now, the problem is that custom roms like CM7 requires the kernel for Froyo. In other words, you have to flash a stock v2.2 SBF first, so that your phone will be running Froyo and that the kernel will obviously be for Froyo as well.
So what I don't understand is, I'm using Eclair right now because I flashed a New Zealand v2.1 SBF. The Android version I'm running on is Eclair, and the kernel version should be for Eclair as well.
Then why is it that you guys said I can still flash CM7, which requires the kernel for Froyo?

I have never tried flashing CM7 from Eclair, so I can't tell you that it will work. I upgraded to stock Froyo on Telus the day it came out and got frustrated with it and rooted the same day.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
Hmm well I'd flash to stock Froyo as well, then I wouldn't have a problem installing CM7 because I know it'll definitely work. Except that the kernel for Froyo doesn't work well on my Milestone. Many people have problems with the Froyo kernel, mostly to do with connection problems like wifi or 3g.
I've had problem with my wifi where it connects to my router, but isn't sending/receiving any data. Either that, or it works for 5 mins and then disconnects itself afterwards.
Many people suggested to flash back to stock Eclair, so I did and my wifi works awesome right now and never had a connection problem yet. Currently, i'm using the TelusLite v5.2 custom rom for Eclair, and it works great but I wanna try out custom roms for Cyanogen Mod, like CM6 or CM7.
From what I know, CM6 is for Eclair because it uses the Eclair kernel. Whereas CM7 is for Froyo as it uses the Froyo kernel. However, I think the latest version of CM6 also uses the Froyo kernel, as somebody mentioned it in the CM7 topic somewhere.......so ya I'm pretty sure you CAN'T install CM7 on Eclair since the kernel requirement is different.

I haven't heard of Eclair to CM7 directly. Every ROM except for the Eclair roms like you are running now are ALL based on Froyo. GB is based on the Froyo kernel, but is a gingerbread port.

yup I know. After all, there is no official Gingerbread support for Milestone (yet), that's why we don't have a v2.3 SBF to flash (therefore not able to get the kernel for Gingerbread).

so ya you either have to flash the stock v2.1 SBF or v2.2 SBF in order to install specific custom roms that you want, depending on what kernel they're based on, right?
Oh well, guess i'll just stay with TelusLite v5.2 for now. It's pretty fast and stable so I guess that's good enough.

The issue is that TelusLite is no longer updated. Any issues that you will encounter may not be fixed. I've always found RSD Lite to be finicky, but you can always flash the 2.2 VR and try other ROMs and if you aren't happy, you can reflash the 2.1 and go back to TelusLite.
Many options for you to try out!

ya it seems like it. But the latest build (v5.2) was updated on July 2011 so it's only a month old? So ya not too bad. I haven't had any issues with it, and all the stuff that I use my phone for works fine on this rom so i'm pretty happy with it.
I only wanted to try out CM7 because it looks nice and that many of my friends recommended me to use it. But ur right, there're still other great roms out there that I can test out.
RSD Lite works well for me, never had a problem with it so i'm pretty happy. At least the flashing and rooting process on Android is fairly easy. Whereas on Windows Mobile or on Maemo (when I still had my Nokia N900), it was a pain in the ass, especially that the flasher program for Maemo doesn't work on Windows 7

Well, you can open a CM7 zip package, you should see a file named "boot.img", that is the kernel, came from the stock Froyo SBF, so that it can pass the bootlooder checking, and it will replace the old kernel during the CM7 installation. That is why the kernel will update to the stock 2.2 kernel after you installed the CM7.

I see......in that case, can I replace the boot.img with the one for Eclair? I.e, use the 2.1 kernel instead of 2.2? I'm pretty sure this isn't possible since the custom rom is made to work with that particular kernel version, but maybe it does work?

[Q] New on android and I had problems with kernel talondev

Hi all,
I'm new to android and some things I do not understand, for example I have the galaxy captivate with the following characteristic:
Rom Android 2.3.4 I897UCKH3
boog_kh3_kernel3
su-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip
I updated my cellphone using these files, and all works fine but I wanted install a new kernel the last talondev, but after install it I think that my sgs is on soft bricked, displays the logo of AT & T and then starts "loading talon...", but then restarts.
This kernel can be used with the rom? it is compatible? or What should I do to choose a kernel?
Best regards
Talon is I9000 port kernel you are using native I897 rom. Use Samurai, Corn kernel or Boog's kernel. Actually Im not sure there is a corn or samurai kernel for KH3. I know they have it for KJ roms.
I have to find kernels for KH3, right?
Thanks
Correct. Or update to a newer leak like KJ3 as a example.
And I can change to a custom rom? or that such the cm7 rom?
I talk to do this to exit the soft brick and have it back.
thanks
CM7 has its own special instructions. I haven't kept up with it so go to their thread and read. But ya you can change to custom roms like Fusion IX, Fasty and others that are based of a newer firmware version.

You need to flash back to boog kernel. If this does not work it is best you re-flash to stock KH3 with the one-click solution here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Choose the one WITHOUT bootloaders since you already have those on the phone. It is safer that way.
Regarding CM7 ROMs. You must know they are completely different system compared to the normal Captivate ROMs. Read this thread before flashing:

Don't get me wrong. THEY ARE VERY GOOD CUSTOM ROMs...absolutely. But you cannot mix and match.....Follow CM7 instructions strictly.

But I'm a noob :-( I don't even know how to root or put CWM on... what ROM would you recommend for noob like me, ICS one or CM7? I Just want something really fast that will make games smoother and that works fully....
Do you know how to flash a kernel via Odin? You will be rooted and have CWM automatically once you flash a custom kernel. I would recommend you to use a custom GB rom, as not all apps are compatible with ICS and more bug free.

First you should backup EFS, verify download mode, recovery mode, just to be prepared for possible hiccups.

I posted here because the "General" forum isn't that visited.
I tried finding the files needed to Install CWM for my Samsung Galaxy S gt i9000 2.2 Froyo,
but the files needed to put in Odin are missing or have been deleted from the web-hosting services.
Can anyone provide me with the needed links and a detailed guide on how to do it?
Many thanks in advance, jvukosav.

wow yeah you are digging for some really old files. You can try the speedmod kernel for Froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=speedmod
Though it probably has more feature than what you are looking for. Beware of the lagfix though. I don't think universal lag fix is automatically activated, but just to be sure check the settings in recovery mode.
The chainfire kernel download links are still active, and I think they might be closer in nature to what you want (a stock kernel with CWM features)

I have never used chainfire kernels, but they are meant to be the base of most other custom kernel before cyanogenmod was ported over to I9000.
