Hey guys anyone know how to manually flash a kernel on the Desire Z?
Do only need to flash the boot.img via fastboot?
it's probably better done as a zip package you flash via recovery.
Grab one of the other "kernel only" packages and unpack it to see how they do it.
Risk is a bit higher to do it from fastboot, especially if you're not sure you did it right.

Yeah I know how the risk in using fastboot, But I've done that alot of times in the one X but the Desire Z has that Something Something.ko and I don't know what to do with it
Hey is there "kernel Compatibility"? like the kernel 3.x I tried it one Sense 3.6 and it seems to get to the end of the boot animation and stops there hmm.... ?

There's quite a bit more to it, than just flashing a kernel onto a rom. (Also I doubt a 3.x kernel designed for 4.0 is going to work on 3.6)

Upgrade to one of the Full Sense 4.0 (Virtuous Infinity) or one of the Sense 4.0A roms that has incorporated the 3.0 kernel from the Infinity rom.

+1 here i would like to see a sense rom with AOSP
I have already thought this, (I have thought to mix Gingerbread and port sense to it)
But only I can say that is very difficult, because you have to port and modify manually all framework.jar and others.
I tried to do this with AOSP and Froyo 2.2 when there isn't any sense kernels, and finally I couldn't do it because it give a lot of faults before boot.
But I'm interested in it to do this later (gingerbread+sense)

Hello, you can probably tell I'm new and can not post in the Development section to ask this question...
So, I have the ROM Android Revolution HD 5.1.1. It is a great rom yes.
I have seen the CRT animation and love it! but I can't download it from the Thread...
Does anyone have the files for me to download?
Also would anyone like to give me some nice instructions on how to install it...?
Sorry if I should have posted this in the Q&A...
Download the first .zip from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947688
1. extract the bootanimation.zip from within the downloaded zip located in data\local
2. to your tools adb folder and
3. use the adb commands from that thread to install

LOL, I don't think that's what he's looking for (or is the plan to totally confuse him when he reboots? )
I think you're just going to have to wait until it's re-uploaded in the ARHD thread (it was getting re-worked for the new base used for 5.1 if I remember correctly)

Mine works with the above steps (Yes, i know theyre confusing lol) with the new base used in 5.1.

That's for the bootanimation not the CRT animation that the OP is looking for.
Here's the CRT animation, could be found in the second post in ARHD thread
• CRT Screen-on / off Animation for Android Revolution HD 5.1.x (Thanks to capychimp)

You just install it as you would install the rom, flashing via CWM.
Be sure to read up the ARHD thread though as some people have encountered boot loops when also installing other mods at the same time as well.
Hmm, still don't fully understand how to install it. :S
I installed the ROM using ROM Manager. (all I know is CWM is a part of ROM Manager???)
EDIT: Thanks alot for the link!! and I also wanted that bios boot screen haha! But I don't think I'll bother, will never see it.
EDIT: EDIT: I installed the animation and also changed my boot screen! Love these so much! Haha, thanks alot
The link to the CRT animation doesn't work for me... Can someone post an alternative link? Thanks!
EDIT: Nvm I got it!
Issues
I found out some issues with that rom, android revo hd 5.1.1.
since im a new member here, i can not post in development threads, but i hope someone can help me fix the problem.
i installed the roms zip with cwm. no problems. tried to oc with setCPU didnt worked. i read about a few hundred posts in the thread when i found out that the problem may caused by that i did not flashed boot.img from the zip file. ive done that after but i still dont get the overclock possibility. any idea?
the other issue is with the battery tweek (Modified % Battery for Android Revolution HD 5.1.x (Thanks to krzysiec)) it causes bootloops after flash.

As per the hundreds of posts saying the same thing in that thread, you can't overclock it without a custom kernel.

Yeah. Since v5 there is no Custom Kernel that allows you to overclock.
I'm fairly sure he will be putting one in again at some point.

Yeah, he already said he was waiting for Apache14 for the first custom kernel.
So I hope we get it with the 5.1.2 release.
5.1.3 is looking good! Can't wait to download it.
Custom modifications descriptions
Hi people, do we have a have a list anywhere of the custom modifications with a brief description of what they are - with screen shots/links to YouTube videos where possible?
I've just seen what the CRT animation is like and I'm going to install that after ARHD 5.1.3 is available, just wondering what the rest where like?

I'm sorry but what you do mean by 'the rest'? You can preview all the differnt boot screens I know that but most of the mods he has listed on his thread are just download links...
I want to know what 3.0 SMS is!!
I want to install some of these features like sms 3.0 etc on 5.1.3 , I understand it needs to be done via CWM but does it need to be rebooted into recovery and install like that or do ya just select install rom from SD card, also would anything get wiped off my phone when I do this.
I am quite new to all of this and have managed to get my head round the flashing radio and flashing android revolution rom but don't quite get how to do any of these extras that I would like to use
Hi there,
Am trying to update the kernel on my Desire running Runnymede 2.2 AIO.
Have been trying to do this with kernel manager but no luck. kernel downloads, gets verified, and system then restarts into recovery and nothing happens.
I then have to reflash Runnymede in order to get it to boot at all.
The only one i've tried is the Tiamat kernel.
Can anyone give me any pointers?
Thanks a lot!

Tiamat is an AOSP kernel
Runnymede is a Sense ROM
you need to flash a compatible Sense kernel
i've only flashed kernels with through clockworkmod recovery, no problems doing so, just have to check compatibility
ah, thanks eddiehk6! starting to make a bit more sense now. not sure why an AOSP kernel would show up on the list in kernel manager as I thought that was the whole point... only showing compatible kernels.
this brings me to my next question, is there a list of kernels (with details!) somewhere?
Thanks!

hah starting to make a bit more sense....
look here, scroll down and u'll find a list.
i'm no expert, but by logic assume you would need a sense gingerbread kernel...check compatibility by searching or asking in the respective thread. otherwise just make a nandroid before each kernel flash just in case.
a word of warning, people's experiences with different kernels differ wildly in the threads, so most of the time you'll have to use trial and error to find one that works best for you, as long as you have the patience. also a bit more terminology to learn...
edit: nvm delete thread.
JellyBean isn't fully stable on our DHD/I4G just yet. There are always going to be some issues because HTC didn't give us a full 3.0 kernel for ICS. That could be the reason you are experiencing some lag. Kernels could also help you, try the KangBang performance kernel, although the kernel is leaning towards performance, so it could cause instability
I bought the xda app. Problem?
...
I can't link to the kernel (cause I'm lazy and on the xda app). But when you install a kernel wipe your cache and Dalvik Cache and then flash. That's the proper way of flashing a kernel

Hey thanks for the reply, yeah i successfully installed the stable and performance kernel from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931386
But the gaming performance still lags compared to 2.3.5. I guess its due to not being fully stable yet.
I had an idea, what if i flash the stock 2.3.5 kernel? Would i get stock performance back or not?

You'll ruin your phone. A 2.3.X kernel I'd meant for that specific version of Android. If you mix versions (e.g. a Gingerbread kernel with a Jelly Bean ROM) you'll most likely get bootloops and your phone. At worst you'll brick your phone. Don't ever mix kernel versions. Also don't flash a Sense kernel on a AOSP/AOKP/CyanogenMod based ROM (or vice versa), you'll also have a phone that won't boot.

sullyy94 said:
Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah I was guessing it had something to do with the kernel. I tried a kernel yesterday not sure which one it was from memory, but when I put the kernel zip onto the phone and installed it through recovery it said install complete. But when I rebooted the phone it gets stuck on a black screen. I can't do anything else unless I take the battery out. I was wondering if anyone can give me a link to the kangbang kernel and instructions in how to install properly if the recovery mode isn't the right way, even though it said kernel updated successfuly. Thanks!

The only compatible alternative kernel for JB is the KangBang (at least that i know of). If you flashed another one, that might be why it booted to a black screen.

custom ROMs for HTC one V (differences, bugs, info)
Hello,
I am new to this site, and new to this thing, but I am interested to update my HTC one V with some custom ROM (jellybean or higher) and I wanna know some info about which one is the most stable and popular one, with no bugs or trivial bugs.. It is frustrating because they are plenty of ROMs and kernels here.. and what is the difference between AOSP and AOKP version? somewhere I read that aokp is less stable but better... I actually want features included RAM and CPU clocking, because this is the coolest thing in these custom ROMs.. :cyclops:
- I have HTC one V (GSM) rooted and bootloader unlocked
- I have CWM recovery 6.0.3.3 installed
- I have official android v4.0.3
so which ROM you guys prefer to me and which kernel that goes along? and is my CWM version OK or I need other one?.. I really want to get more of this phone than I am getting now.. it's a really nice phone but it's a bit lazy when operating tasks, so it's not for impatient users
I am new to this, but I somehow succeeded to root my V, thanks for detailed instructions on this site, so thanks to you guys ..now I just have to update my ROM, and I will be more than happy
Get kitkat and you'll be happy
It's really fast, mostly bug free and gets security updates...
I use lollipop personally and I like material design to much to go back.

yea, which one? can you give a lil more explanation to a noob I have so much questions in my mind.. all day reading, now I am even more confused.. so many "dev" terms I am not familiar with..
I am afraid I will kill my HOV as I am reading some reports of black sreen or won't boot... but the hell with it, I need to do it, because I have a cool ant camera which app only works with 4.1
help?

You can't (you really can't) brick your phone by installing a recovery, rom and a kernel.
It's really easy. If your still using the stock rom (rooted or not), you first have to unlock your bootloader. This is important because with a locked bootloader you can't overwrite to parts of your storage.
Just search for some guides (like this one) and only do the unlocking of the bootloader, not the rooting.
After unlocking the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (this is the newest version of TWRP, a popular recovery).
Then you reboot into the recovery and install any custom rom you like. Then you reboot into the bootloader again and flash the kernel for this rom, because the recovery can't do this.
And now you're finished. Just reboot and you'll have your new system.
If you need help with something, just use some guides here in the forum, those things have been explained thousands of times
Oh, and don't forget doing a backup of your data before. It will be deleted when installing the rom.
By the way: "rooting" means gaining root access on your system by using some vulnerability in the system. Root access is a bit like the admin user on windows, it can do everything and has no limits. But rooting only affects your current rom and is only needed in the stock rom. Most custom roms already have root access enabled.
can with only TWRP flash CyanogenMod 11? I see in the post is written that need latest TWRP to flash this ROM..
but I have already CWM recovery 6.0.3.3 installed. So shall I delete it? What is the difference between TWRP and CWM?

TWRP has much more features and has touch support.
Yes, you need twrp, because it's much newer and has selinux support, which is required for installing.
Install this TWRP by rebooting into bootloader and flashing with: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (replace recovery.img with the image you want to flash.

I have used dedicated kernel in zip, it is ok without issue, pretty fast, running for a day now.
btw... I was just considering if I could push the clock of CPU a bit more.. is it possible or it's already done OCed with this kernel? ...is there some app for that maybe?

If you enable developer options you get a performance settings menu in the settings. There you see the kernel is overclocked to 1200 MHz by default, which is still ok on most devices. For my phone it's no problem to go up to 2 GHz, but 1200 MHz is enough for me.
all good, but MMS messages don't work, can't download them.
is this a bug in CM11?
