Well i tried that and it keeps messing up my phone. Can you be more specific?

Can you be more specific? Instructions are good. I suspect you are using a kernel that is not compatible with your rom, or not for your phone.

When in recovery:
-Make a backup of your current ROM (this goes for whenever you are about to flash anything)
-Wipe cache and Dalvik cache
-Flash kernel of your choice (make sure it works with your rom and is for your phone model before flashing)
-Wipe cache & Dalvik cache
-reboot and let phone sit for 5-10 minutes
If your phone ends up in a boot loop or you run into a ton of FC's then the kernel isn't for your ROM, either choose a different kernel or a different ROM.

Thank you sir!

What are some good apps for overclocking and underclocking and all that good stuff?

What ROM are you on? Most ROMs nowdays (AOSP/AOKP/CM derivatives) come with some sort of performance control app already baked in (some work, some don't for one reason or another). But without knowing what you are running, you'll get generic answers.
Otherwise you can just search in the market for OverClock and see what they have. SetCPU, CPUTuner,...They are all out there.

I appeciate that too sir.

Now I'm having a PROBLEM where kernels won't install. I check kernel version and it remains the SAME. Can someone HELP please?

Do some reading in the thread for the kernel you are trying to flash. You're doing something wrong. But giving us info like " I'm having problems again, I cant flash a kernel" is not helping anyone to help you. You'll have better luck READING instead of wanting it spoon fed to you. All the info you'll need is there in the threads for the kernels. Search, read, accomplish.

You've been asked numerous times to help us help you. Without the info on what you're running, you're just hurting your self and cluttering up the thread. Please tell us what rom you are running and what kernel you are attempting to flash each time you post.

Right, we know. BUT! We know what we know from reading and rummaging through the threads finding out what we needed to know. We found answers for ourselves instead of crowding up forums with our problems. Search the threads, if that doesn't work, use Google. You'll be surprised what you can find on Google. Then, then, if you still don't find it, read some more.

I have been searching around and sometimes you find outdated stuff. I know that you guys are helping but you really don't want to then you shouldn't post in this thread. That's what the forums are for. I had to ask and make sure so that I didn't softbrick my device again.

Download it to your SD card (root directory), reboot into recovery, and flash the zip just like a ROM. You may want to wipe your cache and dalvik first, some people say it's a good idea. Don't wipe data, obviously.

Dude, c'mon really? Have you read anything in this forum? Two of the biggest threads in the dev section are about kernels. They are marked [KERNEL], and they have all the info you need. Check those threads out and if you still dont know how to "flash" an OC Kernel after reading them, then i would recomend you not try... Good luck!
Just a heads up, not many people will answer a question if it is something that can be easily found in this forum... Also not reading will get you the "Google it!" response more often then not.

[TEMP] [FIX] Charging phone with phone off.

resolved. Close thread
Shaquiel Harris said:
Thanks to tnpapadakos for the info. to fix the charging phone with phone off auto boot to recovery issue all we have to do is use the 2.5.1.4 recovery. then you could always flash back to the latest clockwork recovery when you dont need this one anymore but can go back to the other one when you wanna charge with the phone off.
You could either flash it or put it in your sdcard in clockworkMOD/download/mirror.kanged.net/recoveries for easier access to flash from Rom manager. Make sure its named recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-vision once its there when you go to ROM managerr and go to all clockwork recoveries, you can flash that recovery without getting an Error! or rename it to recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision and flash it through that option.
Now does anyone still have that recovery? We can't get it from the ROM manager because you will get an ERROR. if anyone has it, post it here and ill add it here for everyone to get.

Also... what good does it do you to give you what you want? It's more helpful if we show you how to get there instead... teach a man to fish, right?

Here guys... wasn't too difficult for me to find, even with the search being down...
damien667 said:
Its not a kernel patch, its a init.rc service than runs before recovery that reads the kernel command line for the offmode_charging variable... if it sees it it stops recovery from starting (even though you are in fact already booted into the recovery system) and starts a keypressing service (to reboot phone into regular boot mode when power button is pressed) and also the battery charging service that is supposed to display the battery icon charging animation (which doesn't work in cwm)... those services (binaries) were grabbed from the OTA recovery... if you read my previous posts, you would know.

Was that a question? Cause last time I checked a question supposed to end with a question mark: "?"
Anyhow, first thing first, we need figure out what's the deal with boot loops, when that solved then we could move on forward with the roms.
Right now I'm on stock rom, and I know if I reboot or shutdown the phone, I'll need go through CWM to restore last backup, because it will boot loop.

I'm in the same boat too. I've customized my stock rom, but can't really reboot. The best thing I can do is quick boot to CWM then reboot from CWM.

That is correct. Right after flashing I restored backups through titanium backup. It solved the problems I was having, but I can't say for sure it will work for everyone.

I gave up on looking for anyone to support this phone, much less the Bell version. I'll wait for ICS to be released, and revert back to a manufacturer that has developer support within the next year or so.

I haven't really given up just yet, but the slow down we are currently experiencing after the excitement of achieving CWM backup and Custom ROMs is eating me up inside. We have lost momentum on the development of new ROMs or Kernels or Mods for this phone, and in all honesty, is quite disheartening. I am grateful for the things we have obtained for this phone and to the Devs and Users who have come over to help us achieve them, but we need more, and I know we can get more. There must be something we can do, people we can speak with. I know it is hard for Devs to create something without physically having the phone in their hands so I understand why things are progressing so slow, and hopefully soon some of them will pick up this phone as well.
Let's try to reach out again to Devs that we know from other threads to help us out with new things to use. We seem to especially need custom Kernels for this phone, so let's find those who can do kernels. Let's not give up hope yet, let's keep trying and jump start this forum back to life.

[Q] Stock camera not working [LG Optimus Me P350]

Let me give you a little background.
Few days back, I rooted my phone. Then I used Titanium Backup to uninstall apps which I thought were not useful like LG TV, Email- should not have done that
Then the phone was somehow did not boot. I looked up internet and tried something- got worse: Emergency mode with yellow screen. Went ahead to a local phone repair shop and he exploited me well to hand me back the phone in working condition
NOW... the problem is camera does not work. It shows a black screen everytime I launch it. Going in Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All , Camera shows 0 bytes !
Searching on internet I found that I should not have uninstalled the Email app.
Please share some ideas on how I can help myself here. Any help will be appreciated.
PS- I am using Ubuntu on my computer and Froyo.
Holy hell! I had the same problem a long time ago! (Except no uninstalling was involved) It forced my dad to buy me a new phone.

download custom recovery then
boot you phone into fastboot by pressing vol up + call + power button then use

then
fasboot reboot
then download any custom rom that you want and flash that
it will solve your problem

Cleaned thread.
OP, I would advise, as you ask questions like the one you posted, verify the information posted before you attempt anything. If someone says that if you install a custom ROM on your device, it'll brick; go to the DEV threads, and check out other peoples experiences. You should also spend a ton of time researching before you start messing with your device. MOST of the big trouble people get into is not reading and asking enough questions. If you want to root, find out how to do it, AND how to fix it if it breaks, before you flash a custom ROM, find out how to do it AND how to get back to stock if you need to. The more you learn, the less the chances are that you'll end up in trouble

I think I did that mistake earlier. Read something about rooting and went straight ahead to brick the phone. I am hoping to have a clearer understanding of things this time. Since I am newbie, it will take effort. But this forum has so many experts and people are willing to contribute- I am sure I will learn a lot in the company of you guys.
I will dive in the DEV threads as you adviced. Thank you so much guys You are all my Santa Claus

If I use this thread, would it fix my camera ? I am not sure HOW should I install though, but of all the things I have read around here, it seems this might help. Please give your views whether I should go with this
If yes, could you please point me some link with detailed instructions ( the post assumes I know the HOW part ) ?
If you are using Froyo, give a try on it. Follow carefully the steps to how flash a ROM. If you already has an recovery, life is easier. If not, search on net about it =D

[Q] How do I improve battery life ie what tweaks work?

I'm using Snipers PACMAN, and battery just seems to drain way to fast. It is the latest push. Being newly registered on here I hate to introduce my self this way but I need advice. What tweaks are being used by people for the SPH-D710 to help with this issue? I originally started with the CM 10.1 rom and found I had no data, flashed a different modem. Still no data, switched roms and now have data....go figure! But the battery drain is killing me, I've got it throttled back as far as I can go and it still be a daily driver. So anyone have any suggestions?

Most 4.2 Roms use ICS modems. As for battery us betterbatterystats found here on xda or gsam in the play store to determine if there's any rogue apps keeping the phone from sleeping. I also do manual syncing. Greenify is a great app to keep apps from running on their own. You can also use a custom kernel to limit max frequency and even undervolt. Kernels also come with different governors

After reading through the above posts you should have some useful ideas about what this governor does.Also...as for installing a governor, they will be included in the kernel that flashed with ur rom or a kernal of ur choosing(MAKE SURE IT WILL WORK WITH THE ROM YOU HAVE) Im new to this, so if there is another way I dont know about it. Do ur research... As for setting a governor.. There are many roms with built in performance controls as well as many apps to set them. I suggest (set cpu) . It has a setting that will make a zip so u can recover from ur settings if u bootloop. This is found after u install and give it root permission. Hit ur menu button and click SAFE MODE.

Do ur research... As for setting a governor.. There are many roms with built in performance controls as well as many apps to set them. I suggest (set cpu) . It has a setting that will make a zip so u can recover from ur settings if u bootloop. This is found after u install and give it root permission. Hit ur menu button and click SAFE MODE. You should have a nandroid; always and just because.I hope this helps.. Remember...Read...Read...Read..lol.. Good Luck.

You identify yourself as "new to this" but you nailed this post 110%!! Many people would do well to take what you said here to heart. If they did there would be MANY fewer "help me" threads.

Thank You...... I went ahead and added another link for him to read. I hope it helps. As to what you said, I like to think of myself as the poster child for the search button..lol..I think if you do the research it makes you feel better when it works and it is more likely to stick with you. This site is so great about that because there is just so much knowledge here to learn.I think some people get over-whelmed by it though or they are just unsure and need that go ahead push to know it works.
Ok since I can't ask a Dev a question about the kernel I want to install.....which I kinda understand, but being stuck not being able to ask questions about something specific after reading all the pages blows! (rant off) [Kernel] Lightning Zap! Phase 4 Updated 15JUN13 is causing a boot loop, I followed all the instructions to the letter, crossed every T, dotted all the I's. Thank god for backup! Since I can't ask the Dev a question I'm stuck!

Well, you're commenting on a thread about battery life, but not posting about battery life. That's not going to help you much.
I also read that you want to ask a question, but I don't see a question in your post. If you do have a question, a great place to post it would be here: [Official] One Stop FAQ Thread - Noob Friendly (All questions go here). Okay? :good:

Well let me clarify it for you, it's my thread. The original question is still valid being as I was pointed this direction by a reply to my original post. Let me lessen your confusion on this matter......What other steps can I take to increase battery life......scripts didn't seem to help and a tweaked kernel put me in a boot loop....and whom do I ask if not the DEV?

Hey bro, easy on the tone. Because there are so many ways to ask the question, the best way is to just spell it out how you did above. Battery life depends on the apps/ROM/user all at the same time. I am on Project X ROM. It has Crossbreeder installed. Now I am not no where informative about that app other than a lot of people like it. So with that being said and it is installed on the ROM, I leave it. I also have ROM Toolbox Pro. I have adjusted my CPU control to 1000MHZ. I also have DS Battery Saver Pro set to custom and to kill all apps when the screen goes off. Last the ROM I am on comes with Greenify. A great app in saving battery. I also turn off data and only have WIFI on when I need it. No need to just let things run. With that I have had 50% battery life left after 11 hrs. That is my setup and may not work for you. The main thing is to understand that battery life for EACH phone is different no matter how many common denominators people may have. Team Venum did a comparison of ROM's and their respective battery life. I don't know the post, but if you type "battery life" in the search, then I am sure you can find it. As for you response, I was in your shoes at one time. It does help to be specific in your questions. Not saying that you weren't. Reading each and every post will get tiresome, but if you type in what you want in the search, you will get a slew of post to get info. I have only been a member for 4 months, but I have learned how to flash a ROM, Mods, push and app, setup custom home screen. I have even been given the honor of testing a ROM. If you still need help, you can PM me and I will do what I can. Have a great one.

Its fine,you can rant here...lol..Ok ,I need more info.....
rom you're try to use with lz kernal
how you went about flashing said kernel
did you have any other tweaks or mods flashed before flashing lzp_4
All of this info is important, so I can tell you what is wrong....Thanks..

Thanks Gil, this is exactly what I have done.
1. flashed from 4.03 to WILD-FOR-THE-NIGHT-07052013-d710, had no data....tried to find a fix for that...gave up after trying tweaks to help with the battery issue and no data.
2. Clean install of d710_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130719-015400, now have intermittent data, wifi works, blutooth works, flashed Fl24 modem with no apparent improvement in data connectivity, thought after reading a kernel flash might fix issues, here comes the boot loop....flashed smdk4412_p4 waited patiently for 2hrs watching Pacman chasing ghosts.....booted into recovery and ran my backup tried it 2 more times on clean flashs gave up after 5 hrs. By clean I mean wipe/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install from zip.
3. this is how I installed the kernel:
Make a backup
Download .zip to PC
Transfer .zip to sdcard
Reboot to recovery
Flash
Phone automatically rebooted after install
waited and waited......boot back into recovery. restore by backup.
everything has been done with CWM based recovery. I'm stumped....frustrated to no end......

First off...I have had the lzp_4 boot loop on me. I pulled the battery,waited about 2 min. Put it back in and booted to recovery. Then I wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted and it took off(booted fine). I have no idea why or how, but this worked for me. Now to my main concern. If you came straight from ics to a jb rom I think this is going to cause you issues, if you hadn't been on jb before. I suggest the one - click full restore(it wipes data,so back-up you're internal memory).This will get you're phone partition right for jb. After this. I think you should be able to flash what you want with no problems. I didn't see a problem with how you flashed. Wipe cache and dalvik on the kernal flashes you do.Here's the link for the one -click..
go to linked page and click on download ota at top of page
I would read through the page it sends you to well.Don't forget to thank those guys..Hope this helps.Hit me up if it doesn't.

Doing a one click restore worries me, I'm not on sprint any more and worried about losing my flash to my current carrier. Is this a concern I should have since I'm not used to working with odin? I'm more than willing to try another ROM also, I'm not locked into this by any means.....

The carrier should not matter if you are on an E4GT phone. But if your trying to go to a JB ROM, you will need to aupdate to GB** for your phone. For sprint it is GB27. Have you tried RWilco12's repository to see if your carrier is listed? Also QBKing77 has a lot of videos concerning this specific phone. How to flash specific ROMs and upgrading specific build, modems and such. Something has got to work for you.

Well now I'm stuck on Sprints 4G boot screen just keeps looping.....WTH.....I've never had a phone be a pain like this....guess I let it kill the battery and see what happens. Recovery is there, not cwm so can't even restore my backup. I'm just frustrated by this phone! Gill, bigmike any idea which way to turn now?

What ROM did you flash? Was it ICS or Jellybean? What carrier are you on. That was never revealed.
Never kill the battery. I sed you tried" Wild for the night" and Pac something. Can you get to recovery?
