[Cdma] [Verizon] [kernel] 2.3.4 gb kernel + cwm + ext4 auto convert + 3g UPDATE 9-4

Update 9-4
Added link to kernel source at bottom of post.
Got boot, got ext4 converting automatically, got stable. Also got a brick from being to tired and flashing via heimdall by putting something in the wrong input.
No way to test at this actual moment, this project bricked 2 tabs and im am down to last one, which i am using for cm7.
I am trying some extreme and radical stuff here, so bricking was expected. Those GSM owners have to many options, its high time we one-up them.
Power to the CDMA LOL. ha ha ha
No link except to source for right now, dont want anyone to hurt their tab. Ill get back to the kernel as soon as i am done tweaking the kernel for CM7

Might be moving to sprint eh? That could be interesting.
So, i'm gonna assume this hasn't been tested on a sprint tab yet? Might just flash it in the morning to see how things go...

Some time ago I killed my galaxy tab from VZW
modem was lost, too
Now I use the modem from Sprint
I do not know as 3G, but the GPS works
Try the firmware from Sprint 2,3,4
BUT! not update via heimdall, only Odin

Will this kernel work on the sprint tab with the echo rom v 1.0 or 2.0

As much as your hurtin man i would take it easy. V1 and v2 work great already. We can wait. However if your like me you gotta have something to take your mind off stuff. Great work! Very glad to see some verizon love for once. Froyo was getting old fast.

Flashed and went through the process of wiping cache, factory wipe and reset, and rebooted. Got as far as the verizon wireless screen and froze there. No animation ( after the first animation) or anything. Went back to the stock Gingerbread.
Flashed twice. Once just the kernel and then adding the kernel to the stock Gingerbread. No luck either time. I did have the cw recovery though......

Just because I can, I had to give this kernel a try on the Sprint Tab. It booted into CWM once, failed the ext4 conversion so I told it to reboot recovery. That's where it all went wrong, as the stock recovery took over. Back to stock now to do some other stuff, then back the V1 for Sprint.

Hey oldmacnut,
You say Dan bricked his tab? Mind if I take a look at it? I've been taking Android devices apart and putting them back together for a while now, I could probably fix it, and if I can, I can send it back.

I couldn't figure out to update with Odin... It's weird. It wouldn't start flashing, always failed. Updated with Heimdal (I got the extracted files from .tar files. Wound up slowing my processor down considerably. Flashed it back to VZW firmware. The processor is still slow and it heats up and at times does not respond. Think I might have to send it to Samsung to get it fixed and the modem. Trouble is, what will be a good accuse if I messed up the components inside it with Sprint firmware? Think I might say I left it in the car and it over heated and it wont work right now. Good Idea?

I am not sure if there is an actual release stock firmware for a SCH-I800 model of mine. I think I have random roto backups.... I have flashed it back stock many many times and once the modem files upload, nothing happens. Heimdall doesn't say Flashing Complete.

Guys, I'm finally home after 2 days of Dr appts out of town.
1. I'm drained
2. My right arm is so bad I can't move it
3. I have no internet at home now, and the tab is getting bad coverage.
My arm alone is enoughbto keep me off the computer, web access or not, its bad, it sucks. I'm going to reach out to a few people today, try to get some help with wrapping up what I have going right now.
If my arm keeps deteriorating the way it is, I will not be able to do anything on the computer, let alone hold my tab.
Those of you who know how to reach me via gtalk, do so today please.

Just got my ota ics update, now what?

Im just running stock rooted tw. I just got the ics update pushed to my phone and I want to update. I know it won't fly because of cwm recovery. What's the best way to upgrade to ics from here?
I one of these days when ive got time I will be loading a custom rom. I dabbled with cm9 a bit, but what I need is a stable rom that has a good strong radio and GPS. So that's why I'm hanging with stock for now.

Why not just use SFHubs FF18 One Click, no data then run this to disable the OTA msg if you continue to get that?
To get your CWM Recovery back, just use the Autoroot to install CWM for FF18..

Why would you be in the wrong section?
And according to sfhub, and others, having root alone should not prevent the update. Though some have said it's failed.
The latest OTA is said to fix swype, and that's it.. But that's just a matter of clearing swype cache.
Why not try the update? Everyone is having their own experiences, bad / good battery life, phantom reboots, lockups, great reception.. etc..
Why not try it out? You can always change it..

I ultimately tried it, but I'm screwed. I edited my Droidsansfallback.ttf to get soft emojis for my phone. During the update it stopped and said something about the file. I think it meant it was unverified. It also had a string of letters and numbers after it (DroidSansFallback.ttf, be7fksdsk1333, 340dj3045, etc). I'm re-downloading the stock rom in hopes that it will fix everything, but I chose no data wipe so I don't know.

Give an update after if you don't mind.
Are you going back stock el29 for the OTA or just using the ff18?
Did you make a backup of droidsansfallback prior to editing?
:edit: I'm wondering if you had the update still in cache and went with a stock ttf and tried replying the update. I don't know if a fail clears it out of cache though..

It's going to take an extremely long time [or a place with better reception] to download this. If someone could just send me the ttf it would be awesome.
I'm going back to stock rooted EL29. If I get another issue, I'll enable temp root. I did not make a backup of DSFB, unfortunately.

Personally? I would root and use a custom recovery to flash a nicely built rom. But that's what I would do.
I can either get you the update zip, and some links are still active to the latest OTA, or you can go custom.

There are plenty of custom ics roms in the Dev section. And el29 is 2.3.6 btw depends on what you want, aosp(cm9, aokp) or tw(blu kuban, goodness, venum ice, etc) lots of choices, I personally only use aosp roms and exclusively aokp out of the choices. I'm not a fan of tw the UI looks like something my 5yo made with his crayons

Crawrj still has his link active. Very recent update and you can use the stock recovery to use as the update. Just say the word of you don't know how to boot into recovery and apply. No need to rename but you can of you like, just name it update.zip and place into your sdcard.

If you're using the link from the post above you, no, its not a full wipe. That is the ota file.
You'll need to boot your phone into recovery and apply the update.zip option.

I have been on ICS since the update and although i like the interface i have been having nothing but problems. i ended up backing up with titanium and doing a reset of the phone, still having issues although not as much with the wifi.
phone freezes at time, wifi needs to be refreshed at times, phone runs slow and somewhat choppy (removed live wallpaper to help relieve.), when i click on apps there is like a fading delay transition into the app. Oh and battery will not last more thank 5 and a half hours... and that is with light to no use.
I am no thinking of going with a custom rom ( i am rooted with oden). what rom should i go with that will give a similair look to ics but without all the problems.
thanks

Is that 5 1/2 hours on screen time or total battery life?
And there are several Stock "look and feels" in the Dev section. As with any Rom, YMMV. It's just a matter of taste and all anyone can really suggest is reading through the threads and seeing what appeals to you. Read through in it's entirety to get known issues, compliments, fixes, adjustments, etc..

Yes you should upgrade to MB1 4.1.2

Everybody should upgrade to MB1. i have rooted stock rom LJ7 4.1.1 before with cwm and just upgraded to MB1 4.1.2 .. i wasn't sure whether i should stay with 4.1.1 or not because i didn't want to mess up my phone but i'm glad i decided to upgrade it... My phone is so smooth now ..no lag or anything. i didn't even have to root it again after the upgrade. Just go to freeza xda thread. If your phone is rooted stock rom with cwm like mine.. just do the following below..
1. Download freeza Odexed MB1 zip and MB1 firmware zip. Then put them on you external sdcard. Boot to CWM
2. Wipe cache, wipe dalvik
3. Flash Firmware
4. Flash ROM
5. Reboot
BAM .. Your phone will be faster and everything will run smooth. Even my wifi tethering is still working.
I just want to share that with you guys.. good luck:good:

The broken auto complete is pretty annoying though.

You only lose data when you to a data or system (or internal memory) wipe. In SptMogul's method, he's just clearing cache, which might log yo out of some apps, but you won't lose any data.

I had bad luck with MB1 and went back to LJ7. Phone was laggy, especially the animations, and battery life seemed to be worse. Tried both the stock OTA as well as the custom ROMs, and both dirty flashes as well as clean ones. Will be sticking with LJ7 until the next update.

I have had very bad luck with KT747 kernel. Quadrant scores dropped from around 6100 to 4700 and Antutu scores dropped from around 11,000 to around 8,000. The entire device was laggy, especially animations. No amount of tweaking via the KTweaker app for governor settings and IO settings helped one bit. Even tried using the stock governor and scheduler with no help. I guess my device just doesn't agree with it.
The reason why I will not try TPR is because I simply don't like the theme it comes with and have no time or desire to mess with Morphology. The stock theme and icons are best IMO, and as far as I know, all the devs like to mess with the look of the ROM which isn't to my liking, For example, I hate the transparent dropdown notification pane.

You need to tell us what you did step by step... rooted on stock rom with CWM? did you follow the steps on the first post?

My mantra is if it's not broken, don't fix. My 4.1.1 is working just fine, great battery life etc, so i see no need to update to MB1. All i did was flash the MB1 modem just to have the latest radio.
I see nothing in 4.1.2 to bother with.

LordLugard, how did you stop the annoying sprint update to MB1 notifications?

If you are with Telus, you can flash this as well, see HERE
Edit: I attached vlingo.apk from ICS for anyone who misses the Samsung voice commands and driving mode for bluetooth headsets. I figured they would of put that in, as it is law for hands free driving in Canada...but I guess they needed space. Enjoy.

Downloading now! Thanks!

I had a feeling they were going to release it today, just flashed a rom last night.

It's actually 4.1.2. I'm running it now. Haven't had a whole lot of time to try it out but it seems pretty nice so far. It's a huge change from 4.0.4, will take some getting used to before I'm sure of what I like about it and don't

Did you install with Kies or Odin? Are you on Telus or Koodo?
Based on the file names, it doesn't look like there is much functional difference between the TLS and the KDO (same radio this time around?). I'll be downloading tonight.

I'm on Koodo and I used Odin for the update. I'm guessing the only difference is going to be the boot screens.

What is there for bloat? Telus/ Koodo add any crap to it

Quick question about flashing with odin - Does this restore the stock recovery as well?

Yes, It will restore to like the day you bought it. except it wont wipe the internal or external sd, but i would recommend backing up your internal if you have important stuff on it just in case

Pretty much nothing. There's just standard Google/Samsung stuff.

Could anyone extract the radio if you have a chance please?

So what is this like? I'm running CM 10 right now, and quite frankly, don't see a reason to change. I'm having no issues with it at all. Anyone have an opinion on it?

Please change the title to 4.1.2. It is VERY misleading lol

Thanks! Will this update via Kies reset the phone to stock?
I've got CWM on it, but I don't use ODIN much.

[Q] rotation upside down [Solved]

Hello,
So I just rooted a friends sprint s3 and for some reason on every single ROM the orientation is upside down? I did clean install for each ROM even stock ROM. I flashed stock tar and still having the same issue. I read a couple of posts saying to add rotation to the build.prop but had no luck with that either. If there's a solution for this could you please direct me in the right place. Thanks.

download a app called adaptive rotation lock

That rotation app works but its just a temp solution. I wonder if there's a permanent fix?

The only s3 with the rotation problem is the T variant, did you confirm by looking under the battery that it is I fact SPH-L710 and not SPH-L710T?

I'm 100% positive there is no "T" at the end. This rotation issue is so annoying. It was working fine without rooting it but now no matter what I do unroot or root it its still the same issue.

Just an fyi also having the incorrect kernel can cause this.

Have a great day! from my LG G3

you can try this kernel it works for the rotation problems on the T model....

He said he flashed the stock tar and still had the same issue, that's why I think it's a T, flashing stock (ND8/NDC) tar on a regular l710 would not give you those results, flashing those same ones on the T variant will.

You know what!! I came home last night to double check to see if his phone had a "T" at the end and it sure does. Sorry for the misunderstanding. That kernel you posted indeed fixed the problem. Thanks. Just one more question if he flashes other Roms will he need a different kernel then the default one the Roms come with?

If they are ND8 TW custom roms then yes he will need the kernel which I provided and for AOSP/CM custom rims he will need the app I provided for now

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPG-L710T) that is having the screen rotation issue. Will this kernel work for me of does it only works for the AT&T variant.

Works for Sprint. You can flash the stock nf4 .tar and it will fix it also.

OK thanks for the info. I will try it after I get a bigger SD card to perform a full nandroid first.

You just need to backup system and boot. It won't mess with data.

Thanks, but on this particular phone I had a 4GB SD card and with lots of app installed it would take lots of space just to backup /system and plus I already have a nandroid backup on that particular SD card occupying over 1.8 GB that I don't wish to get rid of at the moment.
