Im running a fd26 build, and honestly even going over the wiki and stuff im still a bit confuddled, i saw recently that fe16 come up but not under the rom section, it was under the modem section. I guess im asking does it work its way to being ROM'd after having some development time or was the fe16 just a modem update and not an entire ROM update? Anyone who can decypher my gibberish i give kuddos to.
fe16 is a date. The date at which the rom, kernal, and modem were released.
In the development section there is a thread that has the stock fe16 update, which will update rom kernal and modem.

Also, any modem will work with any rom... GB or ICS

What rom are you running right now?
Thanks
Ok i did find it, and one more question, there are 2 downloads, a deo-odex'd and a non deo-odex'd, what is the differnece, then i promise, stupid questions will be done.

The only stupid question is the unasked one.
I'm unsure exactly on the odex deodex but I believe one can be themed and the other can't. (<---- doing some research now, apparently this isn't necessarily true) There are probably other differences but hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.
Found this in an article on XDA. (Yes I know it says for Eee Pad Transformer but assumed the answer applies in general.)
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-best-of-both-worlds-for-eee-pad-transformer/
The deodex vs odex debate is nearly as old as Android itself. While deodex allows for customization, odex typically wins the performance race and no one can be really sure which one is better.

I guess my noobness on this forum prevents me from asking my question in the development thread, so I have no choice but to ask this here. I just installed the EvoNonsense4.3.1 ROM last night and I'm loving it! Very Cyanogen like but with some sense things still in there. Great combo, IMHO. Just curious as to why the Build Number for this ROM shows up as EvoNonsens4.2? I verified that I did DL the 4.3.1 zip file, so no sure why the proper version is not reflected in the Software Information section. Anywho, loving this ROM so far. Very fast and everything is working great!

You can be a veteran and still should not post questions in the development section.
What you should have done is post your question in the evo non sense thread or pm the developer.....
Now your question is simple. The developer forgot to rename his Rom to the new update. It still is the newest but with the old name/number.

Thanks for the info. Why is it that I shouldn't make a post in the development thread for the ROM? I figured this would be something that the ROM developer would be interested in knowing so that he/she could fix it. Guess I don't know all the rules for XDA yet .

You can post question of a Rom in its thread. You don't make a new thread to ask a question about a Rom. It will clutter the dev section.
Now if you have a non specific Rom question that question can go in this section=q&a

Hey guys!! I've been bad at following the forums for a few months and I'm not sure if I need to update before trying some of these newer ROMS like Synergy or CM7.
Andriod Version 2.2
Kernal 2.6.32.17
Am I outdated or am I ok to flash a new ROM??
Thanks for the help!
I think you meant to post this in the Q&A subforum. Please PM the forum mod and ask that your thread be moved.
Besides that, you haven't provided nearly enough information for anyone to actually answer your question. You haven't even mentioned if you're rooted, S-OFF, or anything. The ROMs here will upgrade those things you mentioned, so your current versions are really irrelevant.
watch the vid I link to in my sig....it'll answer some questions
No I actually meant to post it in the development thread because the question pertained to development. My bad I guess.
Last time I flashed a ROM I had to run the autoroot program to get to 2.2 before I flashed the ROM. I assumed I had to be rooted to flash any of these ROMS so I thought that info was obvious, but I guess not?? So yes I am rooted, and S-off.

Oops, must have missed that rule......
I did however mark the post as a question and when I was typing the post I marked the box that said "this is a question" I did that to help the people who wouldnt bother giving any advice and would instead tell he how I wasted their precious time asking a question they didn't have to answer or even read. There are at least 5 other posts on the first page at this time that aren't new ROMs, MODs, or FIX's, so I guess the flamers should be really busy today.
Thanks for the helpful help though!
Hello,
You are rooted & soff, so you are ready to get a new rom, but be sure you have a backup first.

PERFECT! Thank you so much for your help!
All,
I have a question regarding what kernels are 'compatible' with various versions of CWM. The reason I ask is because the CWM threads I see are usually bundled with a specific kernel, and without finding specific info about that, I'm led to assume that there's a dependency there.
Until yesterday I was running Bubby's stock rooted kernel. FWIW this is my 'upgrade' path:
Zedo V3(Bad LOS) -> Bubby's stock pulled EB30 with root retained - Great performance, maybe 3 instances of LOS in the 2 months that I've been running it.
Perusing the dev section I saw that NoCIQ was available but required CWM to flash. A search for CWM yielded a few threads. Wanting to have a rooted, and not stock kernel, I settled on the LostKernel/CWM5 package. After a few hiccups getting back to no yellow triangle, etc. Things seemed to be running fine. And they still are...mostly.
The one difference is that on my way in to work this morning - I ride train that passes through several 3g/4g coverage areas so it will switch back and forth between them periodically, including a tunnel where ALL service is temporarily lost.
I noticed that when going through a small area where there is no data coverage at all(this is typical), that when I got back into a coverage area that I had complete LOS! Toggling airplane mode brought data back but to regain cell service I had to reboot my phone.
This is, again, after 2 months with virtually no LOS, travelling the same route every day. One instance is not a reason to panic but having it the first day of using a kernel that's supposed to reduce LOS has me a little concerned.
Now to the point of my babbling. What I want to know is if I would be able to put Bubby's kernel back onto my phone and still have it be compatible with the CWM5 that was installed via chris's lostkernel package?
Thanks in advance for any help.
The kernel consists of a linux kernel + an initramfs (which is basically an initial filesystem but mapped to cache memory, so technically part of the kernel)
On Samsung, the same kernel+initramfs is used for both Android and Recovery.
kernal+initramfs is what people around here call a zImage. When you flash a kernel/zImage, you get whatever recovery came in the initramfs of that kernel/zImage.
So CWM is not necessarily tied to a particular version of the kernel, you can match different versions of CWM with different kernels. However kernels (as the term is used for Samsung phones) do come bundled with a particular recovery, so you flash the kernel you get that recovery, whether that be stock or some version of CWM.
CWM/kernel
Heya.
Lostkernel is from source. Thus it will reduce your LOS but notget rid of it. Sofar for me the only kernel with CWM that is from a stock pulled kernel that has no LOS so far for me is chris41g pulled/CWM. Sorry for not adding link but just look in development and you should see it.
Also this is the Dev.section,you should post your questions in Q&A.
Hope this helps ya.

yes that's it. Are u on ek02 or eg30? U could still use ek02 so yes that is the stock kernel with cwm. U can also over clock the stock kernel with an app called tegrak. It is a paid app in the market. I highly recommend it for overclocking stock kernels.

maybe i missed it but why do kernels have to overwrite recovery?
just seems like recovery should be untouched by anything except flashing a stock kernel or another recovery.
Yes thats the link.
He also has the same kernel with ACS recovery, I highly recomend the ACS recovery, there are a couple extra goodies in it such as pre ROM flash wipe and pre theme flash wipe,but has the same functions as CWM recovery.

Hey thanks Chris I luv ACS stuff. The best on XDA for the et4g.
Thanks for the responses all, certainly clears things up and gives me solace that I can swap kernels if needed.
To clarify, do I need to install the EK02 update before I flash the EK02 kernel?
Also, the EK02 update is not released yet, correct?

It's a Samsung architecture thing - kernels don't overwrite recovery, they INCLUDE recovery within the initramfs. Change the initramfs, you change the included recovery.
On other devices (including Snapdragon-based Samsungs and Tegra-based Samsungs), there is a separate recovery partition/image that has its own kernel, but not Exynos/Hummingbird based devices.

Nobody is 'ok', if you read the first few posts, you'll see that I get 'reprimanded' point made, and taken. Now besides that does that mean that the thread can't be responded to and the help given? Does that make the thread non worthy of a response? I'd move it if I could. Should I go create the same thread in Q&A and start over?

I can't believe more people aren't recommending it. Anyhow, got a thanks from me for the same reason. Chris, I am wondering if people are hesitating because they think they wont get the same performance as they do on your stock repacked with CWM5. The performance is as good with the great recovery

EK02 modem/kernel
No youdo not have to flash the EK02 update to flash the kernel. You can flash the kernel first. Actually you can flash in any order. Kernel/modem/update. I sofar have EK02 kernel and modem installed but have not flashed the ROM update yet.
Also this is not a official release from sammy yet. But have it from good sources that this will be the final build they will release soon.

I can try to find the exact reason, but I know flashing a modem with a rom has the chance of flashing incorrectly and going horribly wrong. Hence why the method is to just be safe and do it via odin. I will edit this post soon enough with the actual reason as well.

First I want to say hello! I just got my sg3 lastnite.. Was with htc for a while and now im done with them! I wanted to kno can we flash that senergy rom for verizon? Also wanted to kno what is the latest firmwear/ radio cause I want to kno if im up to date.. and I thought there was a Ziggy kernel for sprint is that true? I was on his site and coulndt find a download.. Thanks!
If the synergy rom says its multicarrier, then yes you can flash it...otherwise expect some things related to signal to not work. As for the latest baseband, its MB1
You can't flash (and expect a fully working ROM) a Verizon ROM, however I know there is one that is multi-carrier and uses aroma to install the correct version to by our device. It would be wise to read the op, and follow directions. If it doesn't say for sprint then I'd wager its not for ours. Never flash international ROMs.
Never flash international ROMs.
As for Ziggy, no idea.
MB1 I believe is the newest baseband. MB anyway, I'm too lazy to look.
Go to the dev forums and read, read, read. Don't mean that as a smartassed answer. When I get a new device I always spend days/weeks reading different threads. Not just the op but replies as well. XDA has a wealth of knowledge, you have to be willing to be patient and drink it all in.
/sermon
BTW, don't flash international roms .

You may want to try different modems. Some work in areas better than others. For example, for me MA works better than MB does. Was like that with my S2.
Best to keep them on your SD card and try them all with Speed Test from the market.
Others a thread in development with the different modems.

Here is where Ziggy's kernel is. Great kernel developer.
I'd give h a shot but I'm too happy with the kernel I have. I seem to remember the name. Maybe from evo 3D? Was Viper using his kernels? Been awhile since I had that god awful device active. Donated it to a dev that skipped out after getting it. Have another with a bad digitizer sitting on a shelf. Can't believe I swapped a Nexus S for that thing.
