[Q] Some questions on romming and stuff

I recently acquired a galaxy nexus. It has a slight purple tint at like under 15%, and a huge one at exactly 0%. Is there a way to adjust the colors so I can get rid of/minimize the effect. Also is there a rom that looks exactly like the stock or something. I am pretty nooby at this. What is the best kernel?

Most kernels allow you to change your color settings, but I suggest you try Franco's App in the Play Store and download either his stable or exp version of his kernel, and then adjust settings in the "color control" settings area.

All of our kernels will allow you to change the color settings and most of them have apps. All of the roms look like stock as well except paranoid android and slim ICS. Kernels are good and bad for everyone and what works for one person will not always work for another. You should try them out to see how your phone responds to them.

Do I have to make a back up? And how would I go about doing that?

Yes, you will have to make a backup.
Then just download the kernel and flash it via ClockworkMod Recovery.
Also, the kernel control apps do cost a small bit.

Is the purple thing fixable via color control? Because at about 15% most purple goes away but if you look at gray under the notification center there's still purple.

Purple tint may be fixable with color control.
You'll have to play with the values, but I'm sure you can get a set-up that suits you.
Secondly, use my sig to get you up to speed on installing all of this if need-be.

Do I flash rom before kernel? Or vice versa?

Rom then Kernel yes.

Download AOKP. I know they have a working color control built in.
Or if you done want to change roms. Download the Franco.Kernel updater app.
It has a wonderful color control that I use all day depending on lighting.

What's the difference between Franco color control and AOKP color control?

They are the same really. But the app has a better layout and it works on ALL roms.
Also if u change the kernel on AOKP it won't work anymore.
I'll tell u how to get the Franco.kernel updater app in a PM. Okay???

You wouldn't if you have the Franco.kernel updater.

Get my PM???

If I flash Kernel and Rom, can I still exchange my device if I'm not satisfied?

YES.
But make sure you unroot. Use wug's toolkit to do that.

Guys, I just flashed AOKP and noticed the purple is gone. Should I still flash franco for better battery life?

brothers in arms 2 black screen

So I downloaded Brothers in arms 2 from play store. I download the sd data, after it all downloads, i open bia, i see black screen, and then i see the homescreen again. I try several more times for the same result
I tried this on both CM9 and CM10, doesn't work on any of them

Is there anything in common between roms like the kernel or build.prop mods? Maybe try reaper too, it might be something in CM causing it too. If you're using a different kernel try with their stock kernels and build.props. also try turning off force gpu if you have it on.

....ok that doesn't answer any of my questions lol. I'm asking if there is anything in common between all of them, such as ezT20 kernel or something like that. CM9/CM10/Jellytime ALL use the CM9 kernel at this point, which would be a common link between them.

I have tried on the exterry kernel on cm9, stock kernel cm9, linuxsociety's kernel on cm10(latest preview), and jellytime stock kernel
all interactive 1000-216-nothing else, no zram, 26 bit transparency, no force gpu rendering, none of that
haven't touched the gpu modes
edit: same thing on reaper.

OK well that was all I could think of until someone else who tried it can chime in. Can't test anything until the a100 gets back.

Galaxy S3 i747M Kernals?

I was wondering if there are any custom kernels out for the Canadian (rogers) Galaxy S3 SGH-i747m
I have found a custom kernel for the AT&T SGH-i747 i was wondering if any Canadians have tried flashing an AT&T kernel on their SGH-i747m?
Please give me all the info you have :cyclops::fingers-crossed::laugh::highfive::victory:

Any at&t kernel should work for your phone
Sent from my SGH-I747

You can use either faux or Koontz kernels for AT&T with the Canadian phone

no offense meant, but if you are asking this question I would advise holding off on flashing any kernels and get more comfortable with just flashing roms first -- Roms are more pre-packaged and you can build your comfort level by trying out a series of roms prior to messing with the kernel which is a more powerful and inherently more influential element to your phone's operation

Appreciate the input I have flashed many roms but i allways go back to stock, i flashed a kernal earlier but i went back to stock kernal because im scared of burning my processor, not quite sure how safe undervolting and overclocking is, and ya im a noob just got my first android phone about 2 months ago and just rooted it last month.

I haven't tried faux kernel but ktoonzes will be OK left stock processor wise, it won't burn out your processor. Plus you will benefit from his built in tweaks. As far as over clocking/ undervoting ( oc/uv) if you go too far your phone will either freeze up or reboot, so don't use any "set at boot" options until you know your phone will handle it. I use ktoonzes kernel with no oc just the lower frequencies and a mild under volt for battery savings with no ill effects.

thanks for seeing the comment in the way it was intended! seems you have going about things the right way: everyone's phone will accept OC differently, some operate fine at higher levels, others not -- Faux does not post "recommended" levels for this reason, asks that you make adjustments in small increments and use your phone to see how it handles the changes. It is very much a trial and error. I had an older S1 that was wonderfully resilient and would take any setting and still function -- I lost it long before it had a chance to get damaged, My own sense is the phone itself is robust and hard to actually kill -- my earlier caution was more to prevent you jumping in the deep end too soon.
I have tried both Faux and the KT747 kernels, presently running just stock which is in itself a pretty decent kernel.

I tried Ktoonz and it made my playstore act weird and not connect and error out and such.
So I reversed back to my backup image with the rom's initial kernel that was installed with it.
I only find Kernel's being useful for OC or Dual Booting if you need/want the fun with that.
Otherwise find an amazing rom like Serenity or WanamLite or something if you want more customizability
OR a stock rom whichever one suites you better.

Perhaps your voltages and/or settings were too much for your phone to handle. When it gets out of hands, apps will FC a lot and phone will usually freeze or reboot. If you didn't edit the settings, I don't think the kernel left at default settings would affect the Playstore's connection.

best kernel info

hello,
after going through some kernel descriptions, i have found, each of them have some up and down sides too. right now I am using temasek cm12.1 unofficial build v15, using the default kernel.
I have looked the following kernels - ElementalX, Glitch and Vindicator.
my device is 32GB razor-flo (wifi-only),
can anyone suggest me the best all around kernel for the device on the given rom?

These threads and questions are pointless. Anyone that's been around the forums for awhile will dismiss a "best ROM/kernel?" Thread as one posted by an OP that is lazy to try for themselves, or had extremely limited knowledge and wants to avoid time spent reading or trying for themselves.
Don't take this the wrong way, just want to let you know how others will likely view and respond, or why they would ignore.
Really, all three you mentioned are great kernels, but their individual performance on your device will vary based on the settings you use on the kernel, ROM settings, installed apps, running processes, etc. Too many variables for anyone to offer you an absolute or honest answer...

Sorry for being too novice in question, but I have never tried flashing modded kernel. But my actual intension was to find out what most user prefer while choosing custom performance/mod kernel.

Like you said, there's pros and cons to all of them, but all three you mentioned can run effectively and efficiently on Flo, it's a matter of tailoring your usage and needs to your kernel settings. I prefer elemental x myself, because I believe it's the most stable, I like the aroma installer, and i like how good the paid elemental x app is at running the kernel. That's just my opinion. I've used vindicator and glitch quite a bit, they're great too, but have different strong suits than X.

Changing the duration of the vibration on soft keys

Hi,
anyone knows how i can change the vibration intensity of the soft keys? its now too high for liking, making the phone seemed somewhat hollow when i press the soft keys. I think the minimum intensity is also too high coz i cant make it any lower with swiftkey settings too.
Do i have to root it or anything i can do?
Thanks!

if you could root there are amazing custom roms on HTC 10 rom section... i don't like the default vibration intensity but then even before i inserted the sim i unlocked and rooted htc 10 so....

The default vibration setting on the stock rom is a staggering 79% Waaay too high! The best kernel for adjusting your vibration intensity is the ElementalX. Yes, you will have to root your phone to install the EX kernel. The vibration was driving me crazy. Of course, my girlfriend liked it, but that's another story. d'oh!
Using the EX kernel you can do this.....

Wow thanks all for the quick replies!
Can this kernel work with all custom roms or specific ones? i have flashed roms before but never flashed kernels before, appreciate some guidance on this!

EX works with all of them. Just get the EX Kernel Manager from the Play Store and you're ready to roll.

Meaning i can actually just root and keep my stock rom, and download the Ex Kernel Manager? Custom rom is optional?
