[Q] Chris Kernel & Battery Draining - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying for three day to install chris kernel I have followed all instructions but it always makes my phone get stuck on the Samsung Screen can someone please help me. Also my battery dies very quick since I installed eg22 is there anything that I can do to fix that

To install Chris kernel are u trying to convert to ext4?

if you are trying to convert to EXT4, sounds you need to flash the kernel again. Once you run the RFS2EXT4.zip, you need to flash the kernel again before rebooting.

I did convert first like all the post said and then installed the kernel and then got stuck on the samsung screen all over again so I do not know what to do at his point

Still Need Help
I still have not gotten the Chris Kernel to work can someone please help me

Can I flash Voodoo fixes to the Epic?

Is this flashable to the Epic?
http://project-voodoo.org/download
It has many fixes such as lagfix (which is ext4, and most users for the epic already have it), color optimization, and making the speakers louder.
http://project-voodoo.org/color
This is what I am really looking for and was just wondering if this was available to the epic yet.
Thanks
No and don't try. Give it time and the devs will port

Something we don't need. Seriously it's been mentioned in excess of 500 times and won't benefit us at all, it only has any results for the international Galaxy-S and Captivate.
ok we may not need this but what lag is spoken of? i used captivate and fascinate i notice no lag
Some captivates and vibrants had problems reading from the internal memory card which caused lag
I flashed voodoo to my epic.... don't do it!!!
So what now??!! Help! The (voodoo 5.5) kernel flashed alright and now the phone will not reboot. I can still get to cwm and when I try to reboot I get stuck in a boot loop. Phone is rooted with no other mods. I obviously got flash happy and did not read up first. F*#! Can anyone out there help me?
Enter Download Mode and Odin Back to DL18, EB13 or EC05
Thats probably the only way for you now if you can't get back to CWM. If you can, then just reflash a new ROM

Sounds good, how do I install it in simple terms? Sorry if I sound like a orange :-S
Is it just a straight install or do I need to mess with kernels etc,
How's yours set up? Rom/Kernel etc
Help is much appreciated

Since it already has doomlord's kernel on it, it is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, so you can probably use fastboot to install most roms. If you want compatibility for all the games, stick with GB. If you go to an ICS build, you'll likely have problems with certain games crashing, graphical errors, or gamepad not working.
I have no problems with the gamepad so far using DarkForest ICS.
I tried ICS++, I prefer Darkforest still. Probably sticking with it till the real ICS.
There are so graphical issues, but its pretty nice, no bloatware either.
If you already have a kernel with recovery, all you need to do is install the .zip file for the ROM through it.
Put the zip on your sd card, reboot the phone. While it boots and the light turns blue, press the back button.
I attempted to update the kernel earlier and bricked my phone, I the fastboot method and actually completed the flash, when I powered on the mobile it was just displaying a black screen,
After looking about I got the stock rom and flashed it, and its working again!
Now my mobile is on stock rom with stock kernel,
It displays a message saying theres a system update available but when I connect to pc I get some message saying the software cannot be installed because the device has unauthorized software on it, I also got this message before I flashed to the stock firmware so it seems that they know my mobile was rooted etc and cant update through their software...
Could someone kindly walk me through what I need to do to put doomkernel v13 and jokawild rom on,
Thanks

Flash stock ROM with flashtool, load fastboot, flash kernel image for DooMKernel, boot into recovery, clear cache, apply the update.zip for jokawild, done.
If you need more detailed instructions I'll write out a full guide later when I can use my home PC.
Actually, I was thinking of doing a full guide with pictures anyway.

Custom Kernel and Unrooted Stock

Hello. I've tried to find this answer through searching but have had not much luck. I was wondering if its possible to use a custom kernel with an unrooted stock from. I would like to increase battery life but my company uses Good for Enterprise which cannot function on a rooted device. Any help here would be much appreciated.

As far as i know you have to root your phone to install a custom kernel. So you might want to look into getting an extended battery.
I believe that you could. You wouldn't be able to change any of the kernel setting tho unless maybe you could make flashable zips to change them.

A kernel comes way before any user installed app. You can indeed install a custom kernel without root, either by fastboot or cwm. Keep in mind you dont even need to flash cwm permanently, just temporarly to flash kernel zip.

[Q] Boot loop! Can't get into recovery. What to do??

Hi,
I got my phone stuck on bootloop, and can't find a good idiot-proof guide on how to fix this without the ability to get into recovery.
Here's what happened:
Last night I figured I'd give it another shot trying to get a custom rom on my Arc. This didn't work because I couldn't get into recovery anymore (??)
So just now I figured I'd re-install CWM, so I ran the program, it didn't work.
So I ran it again; Didn't work.
Well, I ran it again, and the program said it worked; So i try to boot into recovery, and it's boootlooping ((
I don't know what happened here (it has to have something to do with the cwm installation program), and I don't really care at this point. I just hope there is someone here that's willing to write up how to get it working again.(in an idiot-proof guide )
Thanks in advance guys
I would just re install stock either by using pcc or seus, or flashtools which is the preferred method for most.
If using flashtools you can choose which stock rom to use look in the stickies for the need roms etc.
