CM7 - using a custom kernel? - HTC Incredible S

Hi all,
First time posting in the IncS section. I bought an IncS a few days ago and I'm pretty happy with it. My previous phone was an Optimus One (P500) which was running a modded version of CM7. This is my first HTC phone so I hadn't used Sense prior to this one. After spending some time on ARHD, I've decided that I'm not a big fan of Sense.
I'm planning on flashing CM7, but I was wondering if those of you that are using CM7 (or have used it in the past) have used a custom kernel with it or is the stock CM7 kernel the best option? Am I right in assuming that Redux and XS kernels shouldn't be used with CM7 since it's a gingerbread based ROM?

Tiamat don't even think just Tiamat.

Thanks : ) I found Tiamat's kernel page and noticed the latest is 1.1.5. I'll give that one a go.
Couple of questions since I see you're using Cm7.. From checking XDA and a couple of other forums I've read there's an issue with the backlighting on the buttons not working, but I'm unclear as to whether this is still a problem since these seemed to reference older builds of Cm7 from a few months back. I noticed the newest nightly was 20121111. Would you happen to know if the backlighting problem is still there? Also, I noticed there was a fix for camera freeze that was incorporated in the stock Cm7 kernel in the last couple of months. I'm assuming this isn't in Tiamat's kernel? Looks as though his latest kernel was released last year.

IMO stock kernel is better choice.
Yes it's already includes camera freeze fix, so there's no need in flashing it manually. But anyway you can try tiamat+fix
I can't say anything about backlights bug, coz it was long time ago I used cm

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I tried out CM7, both with stock kernel and the tiamat kernel. All went well initially. I couldn't believe how much more RAM I had available vs the Sense roms. After using it for a few hours the phone would freeze up at random times, and it would freeze up when I'd try to use the dialer. I ended up having to ditch CM7 and go back to a Sense ICS rom unfortunately. CM doesn't seem to have the level of development and testing on the IncS as it does on the Optimus One. With any luck there will be a stable CM10 available at some point.

[Q] Every ICS rom I try always causes the same problem.

I have tried Teamhacksung, ICSSGS, Fusion, and a few others, but every one I flash leaves me with the same problem. I never had it on and Gingerbread roms or froyo.
My phone is constantly shutting off at random times during the day with no explanation. One minute I'm using my phone and the next it's just off. It's never shut off while I'm using it but if I set it down and come back to it later it will be off.
Anyone else had this happen to them and possibly find a solution?
Try flashing a different kernel??

Should have mentioned I tried that as well, but not many. If you have one to recommend I'd try anything.
I would say try using the glitch kernel. And btw are you on GB bootloaders?

I' using Glitch right now and I have no idea about the bootloaders. How should I find out?

He has to be if he has flashed ICSSGS successfully.
But the random shutdowns and things like that are typical bugs of beta ROMs. I remember having these problems all the way back in froyo. Try different setups with kernels and see whats the most stable for you. If you have to have a rom that never messes up try a gingerbread based ROM until ICS gets a litte more stable. Also if you are overclocking or undervolting I highly suggest removing them both to improve stability.

Which Rom Are You Using? (HTC Incredible S)

We want ics v4 (old stuff). I like the rom that I'm currently using because of the leedroid tweaks
So I heard about the second sun rom. Moving to that one soon.

Trust me I've switched to ICS and jb but I keep coming back to 146. I just can't trade ui for broken elements and lag. 146 has no bugs that I can find and everything works as it should combined with simplicity, customization and the functionality of cm I can't stay away. Since the last time I switched I've been waiting for cm10 but it looks like we're not going to get it, so my incs will be locked into 146 until I purchase a new phone. I still can't find a reason to replace this device.

[Q] In-Call volume control with CM10 on Vivid

I have installed the Official CM10 roms went it went "official", i am having trouble with the in-call volume? also the people on the other end can't hear me either?
Has anyone found a fix for this, it's driving me crazy. I like the CM10 Very much, but i can't use it without being able to hear. I keep going back to DarkRaider 1.5.5 which doesn't have any issues.
HELPPPPPP!!!!

Do you know if it's a ROM issue, or a Kernel Issue? I've tried a couple of different Kernels with the CM10, and, i thought, it made a little difference? but not sure.

Yep, there is one out there called "Kernel usb fix cm10". there is another one Called " KangBang Kernel 2.0", there is one built into the PACman rom that can be Fastbooted.
Langbang isn't for JB as far as I'm aware.. and if so could you link me it.? And the USB fix was the default kernel home slice uploaded (I think)

The kangbang kernel is probably really old...back from when syn was working on cm10
And after that pretty much all the "jb" kernels are 99.9% the same...all based off the same source.

The real only differences are the OC. On USB fix one i can OC up to 1512, on the Kangbang 2.0 you can OC up to 2082? i think,
and on the PACman Boot.img you can OC up to 1728.

Are you saying you loaded Kangbang 2.0 on your phone with CM10 loaded? The reason I ask is the Kangbang 2.0 was based on ICS so not really setup for JB.

Yes, i did load Kangbang 2.0 with CM10, everything seemed to be working except WIFI. I couldn't get the WIFI to turn on. But everything seemed to be working?
As I said earlier...when syn was working on cm10 he had a kangbang kernel for jb...that's probably what this guy has

That kernel is old and doesn't have all the fixes that has been done to cm why are they using it

Try the new kernel or just stick with the default. Btw what the hell is linaro. Just curious. And not trying to be off topic

Linaro is a tool chain that you use for compiling...
Iirc it tells gcc what to do

So can't someone compare what Syn had in his kernel to what we currently have and sort of combine them?
The Sultana kernel seems to be making quite a bit of progress, and a fix to the in-call volume is being worked on, but no success yet.
Keep an eye on CM10 development and Sultana development and you will get the fix as soon as they find one. That's what I am doing.

[Q] Stable cm 10.1

Ok, I was wondering when cyanogenmod team will release a officially stable version of the 10.1 cm... I'm not talking about the monthly releases, just completely stable like it was for cm10.
Also, is any of the last nightly stable? beacause I was checking the last changelogs and they were kind of long for a nightly.
Is there anyone who knows something about it?
Thanks
First rule in cm is don't ask ETA,
No one know, when stable v.come out we will know then

ok thanks and you know if some of thoose nightlys are stabler than others and what do you think about the monthly release?
Xistance has a good unofficial 10.1 out already in beta. Only fault i can find that bluetooth doesnt work.
Otherwise its stable and is battery friendly.
havent you tried it out yet`?
Mmm...no I have not tryed that version..I will check it now...does it eat ram after a couple of days like cm 10 ?

I am on that ROM right now, and I want to say that it's work id perfect. Except bluetooth of course But that does not bother ne at all. Blootooth it a former epoch :laugh:
But the built is cool. However I am going to run out to Ivendor's CM 10.1 once something stable is released.
P.S. I am talking about ROM for I9001

[Q] Confession: I flirted with Sense. Will you take me back CM??

I admit it! I cheated on you CM! There - it's out! Did it for weeks. Flashed and flashed all sorts of Sense custom ROMs and thought 'I'll never go back to CM!'. But, as always, I return to the master - will you forgive me?
However i need to know if you can offer this cos i can't quite tell from the current crop of CM related ROMs over whether this is available or not:
- HTC logo to access menu - I think this is in some of the custom CM ROMs maybe?? I just can't do with that horrible three dot menu thing - erkkkkk! - can this be removed in the current CM ROMs??
-Is there a downloadable custom kernel??
And CM - please forgive me - I shall never cheat again no matter what new dressed up Senseual comes along and flirts with me and shows a bit of leg. And you do know - I always come back ...
I did the same thing. I was on stock ROMs for a week. I couldn't take it any longer why even root its just like stock. Ran cm for 2 days but still missed AOKP then saw it when official and I was all over it.
I've been on AOKP now for 24hrs and I'm never going back to stock ROMs.
This is by far the best ROM I've ran on a phone
