guys ive used these forums forever. you guys are the best, people think im a genius because of you guys. ive never made a post because you guys pretty much have me covered always. maybe im not using the correct wording in my search, but i need help on flashing a kernel with my aokp rom. im using milestone 6 but when i flash a kernel my wifi breaks no matter what kernel i flash. when i odin back to el26 wifi works fine, the kernel that comes with aokps wifi works fine. but i do get bad reception sometimes and want to try a new kernel, please help or direct me to the correct solution. thanks in advance
What kernel are you flashing? You cant flash a kernel made for touchwiz on aokp.

Ok I have alot going on over here on my brothers Epic 4G. First off i rooted it and is running ACS SyndicateROM Twilight Zone 1.0.4 (Malanga) EB13 build, im pretty sure you guys know exactly which ROM thats is, but anyways, he is getting horrible battery life and I was going to try to put him back stock and see what the newest updates for the Epic would be. For some reason whatever I do to try to Odin it never works but thats another story. Basically what I want to know is what ROM out there that doesnt really have alot of bells and whistles and that has great battery life that I can load up? Since I cant seem to upgrade to EC05, I guess i have to stick with a EB13 build.
I also know kernels has alot to do with the battery life as well and right now its running kernel 2.6.32.9. IDK just by looking at the kernel you know if it has bad battery life or what. I am going to try to wipe the battery stats and see how that works out.
Sorry for all the noobish questions. I am very familiar with loading ROMS and kernels and Clockwork and all that since im a ROM tester for the Droid 1, and I know things are similiar but I do see their are some differences. If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
You probably won't get much response or get a response you don't want posting in a dev section.

some roms like midnights will automatically update you to ECO05, but a good, stock rom would have to be Simply ASOP, otherwise, just flash all the other EB13 roms. there hasnt been an update to most roms in months now though

#1. There is an update.zip to change the modem, have you tried this? I am unsure of Samsung's tool as I upgraded my modem through that update.zip that was made by ACS as well I believe, look around...
#2. Go to the ACS newest ROM (3/27) it is 1.1 I believe, and they have detailed instructions on how to upgrade, as well as pretty good instructions on Kernels, I would look at the Twilight kernel that runs with ACS well, just to keep it easy for now (although there are others and no disrespect to any others). The instructions to load the new kernel and modem will be in the ACS thread, please go there and read the first 2-3 posts that give you a good rundown of the ROM, and if you really do have some techie knowledge you should be able to easily load up the newest ROM....
I know this is the wrong section, but I'd rather help than bash, next time you can play with the forums and figure out where to post please (actually not general discussion, there is a Q&A page...).
I would really recommend ACS newest ROM 1.1 it is solid and the kernel is an excellent every day driver.
You may be having trouble going back to stock with odin die to the conversion to ectension4 try and tick the re position box if you go that route.
You won't be disappointed with acs 1,1 takira(i believe)
Peace

Moved to Q&A.
First let me start by saying I apologize if this post does not meet Development thread criteria.
Im new to Xperia Play but there are a lot of different options and ideas floating around for different roms and kernels all seem to be great works in progress with promising results so far.
It seems for r800x that all custom kernels break either the back camera, mms, and wifi, if not all three at the same time broke.
I tried FXP042, I tried a UK system flash with doomkernel, and I tried 2.3.3 system.img with all kernels. Which all gave me the same broken functions different brakes per different rom. . . . Now with all that being said (most was prolly already know sorry just wanted to be clear on my post)
Im using the 2.3.3 system.img that was posted in the state of development page. And Im using Doomlords V4 4.0.1.A.283 FW kernel. Its runs @ 2000MHZ just fine and has not forced a re boot or anything ( I flashed this setup yesterday)
But I got usual problems, no wifi and no rear camera. The front camera seems to work just fine and mms sends and recieves. It does not seem to matter custom rom or stock on r800x, only once you change kernel these things break.
The Perfect build :
-A system with working Timescape menus and apps/widgets ( I think the timescape features are a must on xperia play)
-Doomlords kernel (because it clocks highest compared to anything else)
Almost seems worth stopping development of different roms and if everyone just focused on Rear Camera , MMS , and Wifi issues with dooms kernel on r800x using a stock system then wouldnt we be able to build custom roms from there once problems are solved?
Im sorry for such a long post I hope this is ok, and if I have anything wrong please let me know, im trying to learn this pretty good. Thanks for reading!
I have an R800x and for now I just returned back to stock. I hate stock compared to CM7, but it's far more stable.
Im not saying run stock, I like custom roms.
But the problems are the same in stock or custom, once you change kernel something doesent work..some of which has to do with lack of kernel sources for r800x I think. Some of these custom roms work just fine if you flash back 2.3.2 stock kernel in them.
Did you flash official stock ROM first? Kernel does not include radio and if you missing correct radio it would explain why WiFi is having problems.
This thread should be in general. Just for your reference: typically you shouldn't start a thread in development unless you have something you've developed.
Furthermore. I know it sucks but this has all been covered before. There are no kernel sources for the r800x yet. Until this changes we are going to be in this same boat.

I flashed 2.3.2 full system, then booted, turned off and flashed doomlords kernel, left off and flashed 2.3.3 system.img and booted.

I followed the instructions and an running cm7 2.3.5 overclocked to 1.5GHz and it has been working great. I have noticed that the ringer and alarm volumes are pretty quiet but not too bad and my battery doesn't last as long but other than that the ROM has been running flawlessly for me at least.

The problem is in the kernel. Not the system. The kernel is what breaks wifi. Honestly for me that is the biggest problem. i can deal with no mms but i cant do without wifi.

I know , sadly once you change the kernel something breaks.
I agree though, mms is a not so bad lose, but no wifi just sucks.
I would say that the developers involved in this forum are probally gonna figure something out they have done some really cool stuff so far thats made the phone worth getting

On part of that thread from your first post another user named JasonKnight posted that FXP025 had working camera and wifi , but wifi would "suck the battery dry, but still worked" he says. Im gonna download that now and see how that goes.
Hi all:
I´ve been reading hundreds of post regarding roms and kernels and Im not sure if I can change the kernel to put for example unity v9 or 10 without changing sotck rom.
I want o OC and 2 way recording but I dont want to change rom.
Is this possible??
Thanks in advance.
No problems changing the kernel on a stock rooted ROM.
Just remember you're looking for a sense kernel, not an AOSP kernel.
Flashable from recovery.
Sent from The App that Time Forgot.
I believe you can because i also own I9001 and since there's no proper custom rom for it when the kernel was available, people had flashed that to get init.d support but i'm no dev. If you have clockwork then you can try flashing it if you want...because i never heard of flashing a kernel alone but with the custom rom.
Thanks for the answers.
Now knowing that I can do it via clockwork.
What would be a good kernel?
I was thinking in Unity v9
Thank you
Its really down to personal preference, and how the kernel runs on your DHD.
Last time I was running sense I used Lees, but I don't know if he has call recording.
PS 4ext touch recovery is really nice.

Ok thanks jagdave.
Hehe and thanks for the suggestion.
Hey guys!
So today I installed IceColdSandiwch v8.6.1. I really liked the positive feedback, but I don't like 1 thing about it- wi fi signal is too weak. I've made a little research and found out that it's a kernel related issue. Lord Clockan said, that I should flash existz's kernel, but the problem is that I have no idea how to extract it, because existz hasn't uploaded just the kernel, but the whole rom. I googled that out and found that if I want to extract the kernel, I should search for a file called zImage, but there is just no file like that in the existz's rom. So please, help me to get that kernel.
Here is a link to the existz' rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820

Is this what you're looking for? Because I believe it's included in 8.6.1...
Flash again with a clean wipe or check to make sure your router is OK.

note that exists says this may cause issues.... 'may cause... if so, try LC's ICS.10 bfs kernel. Having tried ICS.10 cfs/bfs & existz aospx kernels , this was the one that made the most wifi signal improvement for me.

Hey guys I want to make sure I'm safe when switching from rom to rom, and I am just confused about kernels. I understand that different kernels pertain to certain roms (AOSP, CM, TW, etc..), but what I don't understand is do all roms contain kernels? So will I always be safe switching from one rom to another, or do I need to make sure the roms come with the required kernel and how? So confused .
Thanks for the help.

AOSP has its own kernel and will most likely come with a kernel when you flash a AOSP ROM that goes for CM also. If you are just jumping from one TW to one TW rom you can just use the STOCK kernel. I know the JEDI ROM comes with its own SABER kernel and PERSEUS you have to flash yourself. Both these kernels are TW kernels so do not flash it to a AOSP kernel. This will result in a boot loop.
Thanks! Def appreciated. I was looking at Jelly beer and it said in the OP, make sure you have the correct recovery/kernel so I don't really know where you're supposed to get the CM kernel from. Ill just make sure to read carefully, and always ask first i guess.
Flashing PA 3.1 now, wish me luck!!!

haha yeaaa just read through everything. I have converted to TRWP recovery.
but PA 3.1 should be nice! I use alot of the samsung apps so I keep to the TW roms
I'm having great results with Vanilla RootBox and the SoapKernel
Hey and always just do a backup. That way doesn't matter what happens you can always restore.
