(Q) kernel issues. Help - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok so I gave tried faux kernel, ktoons and lean kernel. All have either resulted in boot loops, not booting or breaking Bluetooth. I have searched and searched. I have tried all the gimmicks and still nothing. I have tried different rom's as well afoul the same. All of them break Bluetooth. I'm using the att version of the GS3. My last thoughts are possibly flashing back to stock then re-rooting my phone. Would this help? Any suggestions would be more than welcome. I'm not a noob when it comes to android. I was a dev for the droid x so please don't hesitate to give me everything you got. thanks in advance for your help and hopefully I can run a kernel soon without issues.

AOSP or TW? What ROMs? KT747 doesn't seem to break mine (AOKP, Liquid and Slim). MOTD just didn't cooperate with me, so I dunno about non-stock TW ROMs.

I try so hard to like tw but I just can't stay away from aosp. So only aosp. Faux's kernel works best for me but breaks Bluetooth, ktoons does random reboots no matter what I try and it breaks Bluetooth, and lean kernel doesn't even boot up. I have tried all 3 on aokp, paranoid android, collective, paranoid kang droid, code fire, code name, and cm10. All do the same thing.
By the way when I say it breaks Bluetooth I mean it makes a horrible crackling noise through my car speakers and reboots when I get a phone call. It still connects with ease.

As stated by ktoonsez before. There are known cases where his kernel will not work with peoples phones, some people have even warrantied there phone because of this problem. I am sure this goes without saying for the other kernels as well. You may just have an unlucky numbered phone that can't handle custom kernels and you might be stuck with stock. I figure that even if Bluetooth isn't working the pros for a kernel must outweigh the cons for me to even consider flashing it. And as you can see below,for me, it works.

I definitely have considered my phone being one of the faulty ones. Seems weird that some phones don't work with kernels? It almost seems like their is a fix that needs to be found. That's why I was curious if flashing back to stock and then re-rooting might fix the issue. I figured I would create this thread to see if some one found a way to use them.

mine is working without any issues... ive tried kt and lean(still on lean) and havent had any issues... btw a bit off topic how the hell do you still have an IMEI with all that flashing? lol im scared ****less of loosing it whenever i flash anything...
anyways... maybe try going back to bare stock, try if it works then... if it does then, root and load a custom kernel on the stock rom... if then it doesnt work then we know its your device that doesnt like custom kernels...
my suggestion

[Q] What do you think of Baked Snack 2.0?

All politics aside, this seems like a great ROM.
Worth a look/see in my opinion.
Links removed.....Bonsai!
Seems slower to me than ACS Frozen even with the Kernel but its a nice ROM yea but IMO ACS is better also looks like some good kernels are about to come out ^_^
I don't like it but that's my opinion. Acs is alit better than that rom. I also have seen the arguments with the.developer and I don't know anything other that what I read but for him to be banned tells me something. I don't blame konane to be upset and he handled it very professionally. Stand up Guy.

I'm testing it out as of today. I liked Syndicate a lot but I was having issues with battery life. I was told BakedSnack has awesome battery life but we'll see. So far it's blehhhish in comparison but I'll have to gauge my charge to really see.
fyi the kernel is compatible with syndicate rom if you want that extra 80 Mhz.

I flashed the kernel and got the 1280, but in the About Phone it comes up as the same kernel I had previously. Is that normal?
Cool I actualy didnt know that. Maybe I'll use the kernel with Syndicate bc overall that rom is great, I just need something that helps out with battery life more.
is anyone having issues with the 1280 overclock on Baked? i'm thinking maybe my phone can't handle it 'cuz it seems to completely freeze with that setting.

thats cool. i scaled it down to 1000/100 after the phone froze, and now i'm getting all kinds of force closes, especially with the market.... can't download anything at all. it sucks 'cuz i love how the ROM moves and feels, but it just isn't working in my phone.... any advice at all? i even odined to stock EB13 before flashing.
I would reflash with a thorough wipe of dalvik, cache and data again. I'm noobish but everyone seems to say that route may help with a bad flash. Which this sounds like. You're one of the lucky few

How does this kernal compare to syndicate's?
About the whole stealing dilema, k0nane said that he only took a couple scripts and syndicate is open source so anyone can use it. But hero over is a **** still and should credit others and make his rom free.

dang, yeah, i already did all the wipes numerous times, starting from stock, the whole 9 yards.... the whole 10 yards in fact, lol. i've flashed the ROM this way 3 times now, and all 3 times, same stuff. oh well, i guess it's not meant to be, right now. haven't gotten much, or any, feedback in his forum yet either.

apparently he used the genocide kernel as a base.. when he was releasing roms on the regular he always would forget the small stuff like that. and another instance he used the same install script so thats why you get the team viper logo when you install the kernel.
I'm running syndicate rom and cannot get the bakedsnack Kernel to work for 1280. setcpu says "cannot autodetect frequencies. this may be an issue with root access". I have tried flashing a few times and same result. any suggestions?

Flashing that kernel broke your root.... same thing happened to me. Just reroot with CWM 3.0.0.6. Then please let us know how the 1280 step works on your phone, it seems to work for some but not for me.
He's right if you don't flash baked snack rom over the kernel I believe you'll have to reroot
cd's or tapes?

I flashed the ROM and then after a reboot, the kernel. I seem to have root still, but I was also on Syndicate before BS, could that be it since they're so similar?

I haven't had the time to do the re-root yet however, I can still install the baked snack rom and the kernel will work to get me 1280. I can also re-install syndicate without a re-root. but syndicate still wont work with BS kernel.. so my root seems to still be ok..? Either way i will try and re-root with CWM 3 when i get home, try again and share my results.
as far as the Baked Snack Rom goes though It seems to been a tiny bit laggy when i compare to a few other roms out right now. Even with the 1280 overclock. The quadrant scores and smartbench scores are pretty low, however my Linpack was 17.2 mflops which is the best i have gotten. If i can just get this BS kernel to work on the syndicate rom!

Yeah, I was gonna say that maybe root is partially broken, lol.... at least when it comes to apps being granted superuser permission. When I flashed the Baked kernel over Syndicate, I couldn't do anything that required root access(including using setcpu to overclock), but re-rooting fixed that.

Kernel Question

Hello all,
I recently purchased an S3 and just trying to figure everything out for it (as I am coming from the nexus where everything is much simpler) The only real question I have for everyone is, What kernel is the best so far? Something that is optimized for battery life and speed.
If anyone is from the Nexus development you would know about Franco's kernel which has served me well for a long time, So what I'm looking for is something that is like the Franco Kernel, and has customization settings.
Any insight would be great
Cheers.
When running an AOSP JB ROM (like CM10 or AOKP), I'd suggest ktoonsez's KT747 kernel. It supports overclocking to 2.1 GHz, undervolting, comes with numerous tweakable governors and io schedulers, and it comes with its own adjustment app called KTweaker which is very handy. Just don't use SetCPU or Voltage Control or any other such app with that kernel as they could cause conflicts with KTweaker.

The current KT747 for Sammy ROMS seems to be having issues with many phones though, so for Sammy ROMS I'd say your safest bet is faux123's kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785466
Much appreciated. I was seeing ktoonsez's KT747 kernel, and figured this was the "main" kernel for the s3 but I just had to know for sure. What you describe with it is exactly what I'm looking for in a kernel...full control of it. Thanks again
Also on KT747 ktoon created his on governor called ktoonservative. It's based off conservative but it's kicking some serious butt with my device :good:. I'm also severely under-volted but that shouldn't really change much as far as battery life.

I tried the kernel (both actually) and had no luck with either, one caused everything to fail ie: wifi, data, launcher, touch screen was unresponsive. And after flashing in the other one that says it is 100% stable on all devices, I was left with a phone that wouldnt turn on, and when it did start up, the screen was unresponsive. I tried clearing caches, fixing permissions, but nothing worked at all.
So I went back to stock kernel. Hopefully some of these issues can be resolved some day.

Are you sure you flashed the correct version? Both kernels come in ICS and JB flavors.
Also, I haven't seen anyone else with this issue so I'm not sure what happened.

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.

CM10 M2 Lag after initial reboot, kernel issue?

Ok so to make a story short:
I installed CM10 M2 wednesday, everything went AWESOME. Smooth, responsive, fast! Pure JB awesomeness. Then, satuday i decided to flash Faux123 kernel to have additional governors and from that point, everything has been terrible. The phone has been extremely laggy, it randomly rebooted and sometimes when i turn off screen, it doesnt want to turn back on and i have to battery pull.
Since that, i have formated the phone at least 5 times, i tried just a factory reset, complete wipe through CWM, reflashing rom, but nothing worked. What really weirh though is when i reflash the rom, and reinstall all my apps and put everything back, until i reboot the phone once, the phone is smooth and stable. But as soon as i reboot the phone, i'm done. It becomes laggy again, reboots and has sleep of death.
I'm really perplex as to what can cause this. I honestly am just about to ODIN this phone back to stock and just wait for official JB...thats unless somebody here has a quickfix?
I'm assuming when we reflash rom it also reflashes kernel, maybe reflahing just the kernel will solve this? anybody got a link? or a kernel to suggest?
EDIT: Now i can reproduce the problem. Everytime i turn off screen and i turn it back on shortly after, it reboots
Try ktoonsez kernel. He seems to be putting more updates than faux. Faux hasn't updated since August and ktoonsez updated 5 days ago.

Ok, i've just installed Ktoonsez kernel. I have changed to different governeors and i've yet to have seen any lag. Thats a great sign. Juste one question though, what combo of governor + scheduler gives the best battery life?

I use ktoonservative and bfq, but there is no "best" What works best for someone else might not work well for you.
Testing is the only way to answer this for yourself.

[Q] Cricket One V...

Now look, I know Cricket is considered a joke carrier around XDA, (really? Boost is easily a bigger joke.) But I manage a Cricket branch here in Madison, WI and my work phone happens to be a One V..
I am NOT an ignorant Cricket using XDA noob, but I am wondering why the PrimoC roms are not booting on my Cricket One V, considering it's the EXACT same phone as the Virgin Mobile model. I get boot animations, but the rom never loads. Not boot loops either, just stays on the boot animation.
Ideas? Explanations? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Which roms are you using, and what kernels are you flashing with them? Remember, kernels need to be flashed in fastboot, and some need the zip flashed in recovery to make Wi-Fi work. From what you said, it sounds like you don't have right kernel.
i had cricKet for a while.... had a score... not the greatest phone experence.. Lol
pop into IRC!
I'll try some different kernels.. thanks.
And yes, the Score is a terrible phone.
I've tried PA, CM10, AOKP, and MIUI.. none boot.
Well, I flashed sickkernel_jb_102812 and got CM10 to boot. Now I'm just left with bad graphical tearing on the launcher and SD storage is broken. So that's a step I guess. I'll try some different roms.

Try the latest SickKernel & a recent CM/AOSP ROM.
Ok so I flashed AOKP and it does not tear at the launcher. The only issue now seems to be SD card. When I go to storage, settings FCs. I am using sickkernel.
i am running jmz's evevol rom with very few glitches. the only problem i had was the mms not working. it happened to be the apn file. jmz fixed me up with a patch kit for this and it all works fine. i did try to use pacman rom and had some graphics issues, aokp would not go past boot screen for me, but i have not hadd too much trouble. cricket htc one v

That's one of the problems I got on the PACman ROM, sucked pretty bad I used that portion frequently.
Also, cricKet ain't that bad, here in Houston it's the best carrier in terms of reception.

yeah, cricket isnt a joke around here. i know down in savannah ga (when i visited there 2 years ago) cricket seemed to be the carrier everyone had. i felt out of place with my boost mobile lol.
also the graphical errors and such seem to have gotten much better with newer releases of supersick kernel. the 12-30 kernel has been the best one i have used yet, i still see the errors sometimes but the phone seems uber responsive.
