This kernel doesn't include Voodoo lagfix, basically it doesn't convert your partitions into EXT4 but it does include EXT4 drivers.
If you come from an Overcome kernel then just flash the .zip via CWM and reboot, your system was already been converted from Overcome kernel.
If you come from a stock kernel then your system it is rfs and will be not touched.

In thirst installation there was a failure in connecting to the wifi, after a reboot the problem as gone..
Running smooth until this time.
Need more time to test it... Thanks

Nice, thanks for feedback.
To be honest iirc i don't remember if i had a wi-fi problem at first installation, anyway let me know if problems will occur.
I'm particular interested how do you feel with battery life in addiction to new governors, i feel good with lagfree right now and i'm loosing 2% overnight.

Good work!! Unfortunately, I can't test your kernel since I have a P1000L tab...
Just one question, you said that you choose to avoid RAM and LCD undervoltage. Can you tell me why? I have been using aggressive undervoltage settings for LCD (2.1V) and I haven't noticed anything until now. No glitches, no weird things. But I know that this can change between devices. Do you know if anyone has had any kind of problems with undervoltage?
Thanks!
Ronan

Ronan, good work to you since i've only applied your patches Thanks.
About RAm and LCD undervolting i've always had some doubt about the real gain in battery save and after seeing this post from Technomancer i've decided to give it a try.
Till now my battery last even better than before, don't know, it could be a placebo effect though
Too bad that i have only one feedback till now that i have 45 downloads

I'm just went to home and activated my wi-fi without issue but maybe it is because i've made a clean rom/kernel installation yesterday.
Give a try to reboot into CWM and clean CACHE and see if it work.

I tried to connect to gps and gave error. The same with maps and ndrive...
The wifi problem didn't despear with cache cleanup.
Thanks

Lol i'm starting to have doubt that you have an euro tab . . . . Jk.
Anyway, are you using it with my rom or another?
I suggest you to stay with overcome kernel ( and rom if you have it) and maybe try again it once you will do a future wipe for a future rom.
I know, i can be boring but i do not have all these problems.
Thanks.

I have your rom (full wipe) , I already moved to overcome kernel(no problems). So the problem isn't my tab

Add kernel in .tar format for flashing with Odin.

I downloaded it but I didnt update because some feedbacks seem bad with wifi.
However today I update it.
Very well.
Updated, I copy file "wpa_supplicant" to replace original file and my wifi is alright.
Thank you!
Sorry for my english so bad.

Thanks for feedback,
however, can you tell me from which rom version did you replace wifi_supplicant?
Thanks.

Thanks for the kernel, I can tell it is a definite improvement over the overcome. However, the old fix for market download cache in the init. D folder does not work anymore. Could you help look into it please ?

[Q] Two Quick questions

How do you flash a kernel to a ROM that already has one. I am using ASC ICS v5.5 and i wanted to try the new samuri kernel and the new nubecode kernel to try to get some better battery life.
Now for the easy question what happened to the ASC ICS thread. I saw that the last version was v5.5 and was wondering if there was any other updates.
Thanks for the answer

OK, to answer your first question, DL the kernel, transfer to SD card, Boot into CWM/ACS recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, install from SD card, select Samurai zip file, then reboot and you are good to go. If you run into issues, you may have to wipe data as well, but generally speaking you dont need to wipe data for a kernel flash.
Second question. Last I looked, the 5.5 thread had been locked, but it is still out there, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340055 . Marcusant has left ACS and created his own ROM, called Marcusant Revival V1 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375345 . He states this is basically the ACS 5.5, themed Red.

Cool. Thanks for the answer. I will have to keep an eye on the ROM. It works amazingly and with the shake & bake theme. My epic looks great.

[KITKAT] Evervolv's general and Q & A thread

This thread is meant for people with questions regarding my Kitkat ROM.
Why did I create this thread?
I want to keep my Development thread clean.
What can I ask/post about?
Almost anything, as long as it is related to me or the ROM.
Some examples;
"Does INT2EXT work with this rom?"
"Does supercharger work with this rom?"
"Where are you from?"
And so on...
Feel free to help each other out! And please, stop posting about this in the development thread.

Well I now feel officially obliged to apologize for ****ting in your development thread.

No worries mate, this thread was just created. I've been meaning to do this thread for a while now

Nice idea, thanks
Here's my problem: GTalk crashes when people call me (voice chat).

"Does supercharger work with this rom?"

Is this thing stable enough to use for space diving?

Good idea starting this thread. So here's my first question :
Does Netflix app work for you w this rom (latest version)?
For me it instantly shuts down when I start the app.

I had it installed on P11. You have to patch services.jar (there's a windows tool to do it for you here).
I had a lot of freezing problems before and after installing it. They weren't the same after I installed it; not necessarily better, just different. I have no way of knowing if it was supercharger or an app or some sort of interaction between two or more things.
I'm on 3.1.0p1 now and I have no intention of using supercharger because my Desire is more responsive and better at multitasking now than it ever was on Gingerbread with supercharger.

sorry to ask what exactly is/does supercharger?

I tried supercharger to jb/cm10 and I had no problem at all I believe the same would be for p1 but at the moment I run without supercharge and looks that the rom doesnt need it.

I can't say, I don't use my desire. But.. If someone else here were to install Netflix (No need to login, just try to start) that'd be great.
Get me a logcat and I'll see what I can do.
adb logcat -c <press enter>
adb logcat > netflix.txt <press enter> and start netflix. then upload it somewhere (like pastebin?)

I would ask for Aroma Installer with which we can be able to choose between different scripts (A2SD and INT2EXT) and misc.
And....what about trying Cyanogenmod settings to be able to customize even further?

Using Aroma = more bugs. No thank you.
Well.. That's Cyanogenmod and not Evervolv.

Hi Nikez, Just curious, any reason you use a2sd and not other scripts (d2ext, int2ext etc)? Speed, stability? So people won't ask and try other alternatives as you as dev explain the benefit.

By any chance, did anyone try endomondo on the new p1 release? On p11 I had a problem that every time I tried viewing the map, the phone froze.. not sure if it was some issue with gapps. Anyone hit anything similar?

@nikez thanks for the awesome JB ROM. My Desire is still kicking along after nearly 2.5 years!
I have just installed the latest update 3.0.0p11, flashed the 4.1.2 version of google apps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed) and setup app2sd.
When I view the available space using Titanium Backup I only have 36.8kB free in System Rom partition. Is that normal on stock Hboot?
Also, I installed the latest Google Calendar update from the Play Store. I now have two calendar apps installed. Has anyone else tried this yet? Do I need to remove the other one from /system?

I would like to thank you deeply for this amazing ROM. I've been searching a perfect rom for a long time, but I think I am very close to end my search now while using your ROM. Very fast, very versatile, almost stock ROM. I love simplicity and this is absolutely perfect.
The only problem I had was a problem with camera - I know this is an annoying issue with many ROMs and it's probably not very well made in the Android itself. Do you think it will get better? I understand that it probably does not depend on you, but I believe this is the last thing that is truly missing to your ROM. (But I am no power user, just a casual user).
And again, thank you for (imho) the best Jelly Bean ROM available here, and I am seriously considering a donation. Keep up the good work!

[Q] Help on Installing kernel zip for custom rom?

Hi guys! First post here. So I just permarooted my G2, and I got a custom ROM up called Andromadus Mimicry ROM – version 1.5.0 (September 4, 2012). I'm trying to overclock the phone, but I can't find the exact .zip file that holds the kernel?
Here is the link to the developer's site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187

Well I don't think you'll find this kernel in a flash able zip, you will find the boot.img in the full ROM zip you downloaded (that is the kernel bty) but really you don't need to play with that yourself to overclock, just go into settings and do so under performance.
If you prefer there some nice apps which may make it simpler like setcpu and kernel tuner, also have had good luck with ilwt tools and other dameon controllers found on the market and often free to download within these threads.
But really I found mimicry to run great on stock settings, of course half the fun with android is to try stuff on your own!
Good luck, oh and always make a backup before changing things too much

I already am using SetCPU. There was a problem with SetCPU before that whenever I went into it, it said it didn't have Superuser access. Which was weird, because Superuser said it did. But of course, now I went to check and it's overclocking fine with no errors. Problem solved itself...somehow. LOL.

[Q] Is the stock rom "good enough"?

I'm taking over a friends old R800i next week and I'm really looking forward to it since I've wanted one of these since about when it was released.
What I'm looking for is a rom that gives me all the usual stuff - GSM connection, working 3G, wifi, gps, sms, mms, camera - but, will a custom rom give me better performance for emulation?
I want to be able to emulate all kinds of consoles without losing too much performance due to the rom - nor do I want my battery to get drained while the phone isn't in use. I'm of course ready to try a bunch of roms and I have looked at some of the threads, without learning much to be honest. I'm not even up to date with who's roms are the stable ones or which is the highest SE provided rom for Play either.
Looking to emulate N64, nes, PS and sega genesis, mainly.

If you root and debloat the stock rom, you will get excellent gaming performance. I went rom using custom roms and went back to stock as it provided the best performance all around.

Well Pizza_dox is an asshat refusing to answer on relevant questions in the thread he made for "the perfect setup", so I need a reliable source to go after since I have no idea what following the guide he provides will actually do to the phone (and I'm not going to learn by failing, hence why I ask questions which she/he refuses to respond properly to)

Please act respectful: PizzaDox has opened many manu threads, and he can't be repling at all of them.
Anyway debloating a rom is simple and can be done by everyone that wants to, by extracting the system.sin from your .79 ftf, dumping its data with flashtool in order to make it a yaffs img, extracting it with a yaffs extractor and then removing the apps located into "app" that you consider as bloat
