Does any recovery do both souce based roms though and how can a recovery increase or decrease battery life?

Do some research tw and cm stuff are a little different on this phone. We do have some one clicks to get you started. Go look in development or search qbking77 on YouTube for some videos.

The safest seems to be direct cwm. But I've used several Agat recoveries and love the tweaks especially battery life. But keep in mind Agats recoveries are for TW Roms. For AOSP and AOKP I use direct cwm.

Look up qbking77 on YouTube he has plenty of videos to walk you through the process on the e4gt

The link at the bottom of this post has great starter information. Start by reading the op. Then read the threads of the developers to know what kernel does what..
The reason I'm am linking it is that you can get to each developers thread or site and this is a very comprehensive list.
Do not go flashing without reading!
My advice to you is to read ALL the stickies in each sub forum for this phone.

Since recoveries are baked into the kernel it really depends on what kernel you use.
TW ROMs are easily solved by flashing Agat's kernel/recovery repack.
You'll be able to flash to a CM rom but I honestly don't know enough about other kernel/recovery options out there for non-TW ROMS to make a recommendation for you on once you get to CM9/10.
Hope that clears it up a little.

Removed my post. Didn't see Garwynn's response.
:edit: I do have to say, that once you flash a CM build, find out what recovery you are on, then do some research on that recovery before flashing from it. Saw a few post about recent recoveries in CM builds that aren't safe or have possible issues.

Need stock kernel

Hello!
I've installed the Rogue Kernel v1.1.3
"Outlaw"
How can I uninstall this kernel and install the Stock Kernel back? Please, give me a link on the stock kernel only?
I really need it. After I flashed this kernel I started to have some very strange errors.
Thank you!

Going ics from caulkin's el29

Hey all, i just wanted to ask a few q's as i'm terribly afraid of a brick...
I'm running caulkin's el29 with cwm as a recovery. I understand that flashing ics could potentially corrupt the emmc. I also understand that sammy knows about the bug. We may have to wait until tomorrow to see how they fixed it, but how can they update to ics, without potentially bricking millions of devices?
2) will the rooted ota be flashable using cwm 5.0.2.7? (Rouge 1.1.2) is that even a safe recovery?

From what I've heard the pics recovery has become much more stable
But I still wouldn't use it
Also when Sammy drops the source code the devs should be able to squash that bug with ease

Gingerbread to ICS has never been a problem. ICS to ICS, system wipes in ICS without AGAT, and flashing roms from ICS was the problem. Plenty of info on all roms from the devs on safety of flashes.

Was on blue kuban earlier....good battery life when I installed the agar source kernel. I am on aokp now and battery life also seems better....been on the phone a lot setting up things and playing with themes and still have decent battery. Screen brightness also seems A LOT brighter than before and I can keep mine set very low with great visibility.

CM9 doesn't have a source built kernel yet but they are working on it. I imagine it would be a little better though as it sounds like they are removing all the blobs of code that arnt necessary.

Quick question. I'm on Calkulin v 3.0 right and want to flash AOKP. Do I just boot into recovery and flash it or do I go back to stock el29 and flash in cwm? Sorry I'm new to this

I would think you need to Odin a custom kernel/recovery then flash a super user.zip file. Also you would need to get the super user app from the playstote

Ok could you give me some instructions on flashing kernel/ recovery with odin?
Never mind they have odin one clicks for kernels

The fix might not work wth CM10. AOKP and CM10 are different. im sure they would have shared it. Maybe it just doesnt work for CM10(The fix) oh wel i dont use it, but i might now that my father is FINALLY getting high speed now i can repo sync and start helping deving!

Thanks for the links guys. I guess I'm just reserved because I read that after root ppl have been getting drastically reduced 4g speeds with custom kernels. To confirm, I can gain root the flash back to stock kernel and all will be well?

Sorry for the short post - was posting on the go. The FI22 one clicks on SXTP Developers are pure stock with only root added... including the kernel. Hope that clears it up.
