[Q] D-Kernel bootloop - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have done the following on my Galaxy Ace 2 i8160 (with official JB update):
- applied RAM patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389395)
- patched Kyrillos mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955679)
- applied D-Kernel patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171054)
The latter put my phone into a bootloop, stuck at the first screen (with the Galaxy Ace II etc). Since I did not made a backup of my kernel with CWM before, I had to put XMF1-DBT with Odin to restore a working system. Afterwards, I have tried to apply the D-Kernel patch again and now the bootloop is back, stuck at the second screen (animated Samsung logo).
What did I wrong? Or is the D-Kernel patch broken/buggy? Unfortunately I cannot discuss this in the official developer thread since I am new to this forum. What can I do in order to have this D-Kernel patched? I absolutely want to apply it since it is the only fix that is supposed to bring decent performance to the Galaxy Ace 2.
Thanks. Cheers,
Quentin

I use this version of D Kernel without any problems. Wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing in CWM

That one installs fine, thanks! Unfortunately I cannot see what it contains compared to the latest version published in this thread. And performance increase is difficult to measure/assess... But anyway, I can say to myself that I did everything available to improve my i8160 performance.

The one you have flashed is the latest version for stock JB and will have all the features in the OP. The latest version is only for Cyanogenmod Roms and is not compatible with stock roms.

[ROM] seeARMS' XWJV1 Gingerbread BETA - Voodoo Kernel [3/5/11] [v0.1]

Hey all,
Here's a custom ROM based on XWJV1 with a focus on speed and stability. Nothing too special; it's just a stock, unthemed, deodexed, optimized Gingerbread BETA ROM with some minor modifications.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a BETA ROM running on a BETA KERNEL, so I don't recommend installing this ROM if you're afraid of breaking your device / don't know how to use ADB / get upset when your phone crashes. This ROM is smooth, sleek, and looks damn good too, however, again, this is a BETA ROM, so there are going to be bugs on any ROM based on JV1. Don't complain.
Features:
Voodoo Gingerbread Beta Kernel
Based on Stock Gingerbread Beta XWJV1
Fully deodexed and zipaligned
Fixed build.prop, permissions for launch_GPS, as well as many other minor file tweaks
Removed Samsung Bloatware
Removed Startup + Shutdown sounds
Fully updated Google Apps + Swype
Gingerbread screen-off animation (Very cool. )
Removed Apps:
-Allshare, Press Reader, Aldiko eBook, Buddies Now, Layar, Mini Diary, Write and Go
Added apps:
-Launcher Pro, Gingerbread Launcher, Gingerbread Keyboard
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/YFJTDTFVD0
Installation Instructions:
Flash from CWM after disabling all lagfixes. If you don't know how to install a ROM you shouldn't be using this one.
Have you got the new tweak by nickadeamus or whatever his name is?
Hi.
Just downloading will give a try.

Don't scare everyone man, your bootloaders are fine, your /system got corrupted resulting in a bootloop.
Corrupted bootloaders would mean either complete brick, or no 3BR
hi seearms just downloaded rom and installed jl2 modem everything fine so far, but time will tell. i was on ultibread when i came to yours so it was an easy transfer
Switched from a fresh stock 2.2, strangely i got the glitched screen when trying to enter recovery. Any suggestions? I see advice to flash boot.bin but I've not flashed JV1 prior to this so it can't be a bootloader problem.
Thanks.
Just wondering can this be installed from cwm if your current rom is froyo?
Ready to Test Drive
Really Eager to Try this ROM

To install ultibread I flashed jv1 via odin, then unchecked auto reboot and flashed a hardcore kernel pulled the battery, rebooted into CWM and flashed ultibread as a zip from the sdcard . Should be the same procedure here, good luck!
I've been running your rom since yesterday and so far it's great with the JL2 modem. Highly recommended thus far...stable and fast like u said and even faster after enabling lagfix

Flash JV1 via Odin first, I believe it's the secondary boot loader in non-JV1 ROMs which causes screen tearing in recovery.

Good job seeARMS! I am going to wait a bit for and update before I jump in to this one as my i9000m is running so bloody fast on Darky's Extreme v9.3 that I don't want to mess with it. hahaha
I am going to try it though. I support you and your roms.

Technically Nikadeamus said that it "may" work on GB but hasn't tested it.
EDIT: Some users with JV1 claimed to have noticed only a slight improvement if any at all. However, it may just be plain old placebo at work.

Issues with custom kernels

For some odd reason I cannot flahs any custom kernels. Whenever I flash some rom, the included kernel will work just fine. But if I flash another one, like franco or matr1x, I end up in bootloop, or stucks at boot. Anyone else experienceing this behaviour?
You need to make sure you flash a kernel that is built for the version of android you are using.
For example ARHD 2.1.1 is 4.0.2 so you can not use the Matr1x v1.5 kernel because it is built for 4.0.3
Always read the OP before flashing, the info is there
Edit: messed up my version numbers
Sent from a phone that is not running ICS
I have the same problem - no matter what kernel I use or how I try to install it I have yet to find one that will work with a stock version of ICS 4.0.2 on my phone - they always freeze at the boot screen, I don't get any further.
I have indeed checked versions before flashing.

[XXLE4]Issue with custom kernel - disturbing reboots
Hi everyone,
I am facing an huge issue that make me unable to flash any custom kernel without rebooting.
I though it was because brand new XXLE4 cannot support 1k+ frequencies or may be another things than I could not have been imagine because of my poor informatic and linux knowledges but it seems that i am just unable to flash custom kernel. only the original CF-ROOT doing his job but others aren't.
May be because of the SetCPU apps but it is less sure that the origin take his effect from that apps. It is a quit anoying because I would have been set my Scary 120 - 1350 to get an impressive battery life with the brand new UC-Kernel but seems to be a mirage for me.
I had got some custom roms but I can't just use them because I want an real free-bugs ROM an official release are the only one option for me and my usual usage.
Thanks in advance for the help provided and I apologies for my bad english.

4.0.2? I believe no custom kernels support 4.0.2 anymore. Updated/latest versions of said custom kernels at least. I think franco has a 4.0.4 version of his though i'm sure very few people are on 4.0.4, 4.0.2 is just a thing of the past.

Need help with ROM

Hello everyone,
My wife has Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 and after JB 4.1.2 update the phone is very slow. It lags like hell so asking help from you guys. She does not need any fancy ROM loaded with ton of customization options, just simple, fast rom. Doesn't matter if it is JB or GB.
GPS and 3G/WIFI should work well, because shes using it for navigation sometimes The BEST would be tweaked and fast 4.1.2 JB stock rom if this is possible Or nevermind, every peace faster than this would be great.
Please suggest me something. What rom should i choose? Phone is:
Mode: GT-I8160
Android version: 4,1,2
Baseband: I8160XXMF1
Kernel: 3,0,31-1106830 #2
Build number: JZO54K.I8160XXMF1

For the lagg and force closing, go to applications > active processes and see how much ram it reads. If that says 482, then u need to apply this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389395 trick. chances are all will be smooth after that.
If u fancy the extra's, you should go with Kyrillosv8.
or you can flash MG2 via odin, I find that a tad more stable than MF1 (again apply the patch linked to above if u end up with 482 MB RAM then.)
Lastly, flashing D-kernel will speed things up and increase stability as well.

Okey now, i did the first thing, flashed V1 624 memory file via ODIN, everything went great, phone seems a bit faster. Now i am trying to flash D-kernel via stock recovery, but it says this: E:signature verification failed. Phone is not rooted. What can i do? Thanks.
And another question, i saw supercharger is made for this phone. It is worth flashing it for SPEED?

First flash this from the stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395
then flash D-kernel from that CWM recovery.
Thank you for this helpful thread. I was looking exactly for the same fix to my phone. I could apply both the RAM fix and the Kyrillos mod successfully but unfortunately I ran into a bootloop after I have applied the D-Kernel patch. Since I am not experienced, I am wondering if:
a) I did something wrong
b) Kyrillos already patched the D-Kernel
c) if my D-Kernel patch was not compatible (buggy file or not compatible with Kyrillos)
Now I have flashed back XMF1 since I did not know how to fix my bootloop. How can I successfully apply D-Kernel to achieve the desired performance?
Regards,
Quentin

[Q] Arc S, Upgrading to besttt, Slim-Bean 4.0 version.

Hi all. since I'm pretty new I'm not yet able to post in the development forum. My question is fairly straightforward.
I have rooted, installed custom roms/kernels on my SE Arc S for a while now, but every time by following either a youtube tutorial or a nice instruction sequence.
Curently I am running Slim-Bean 4.0 (by XtremeSilencer), I used the installation procedure from the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959054
I installed the Fusion Kernel provided in the description and everything got set up smooth. What I want to do now is upgrade to @besttt Slim-Bean based ROM, which fixes some bugs. his post is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45710450&postcount=2992
The Instructions are a bit confusing, since apparently I need to be running CM10.1 and I only know that CM10.1 means (Cyanogen mod 10.1) and that Slim Bean runs some sort of version? of it, but I couldn't find anywhere on my phone a clue about which version Im currently running with Slim Bean. As I said all I did was installing the base version 4.0 of Slim Bean by XtremeSilencer like the instructions on the main page taught me.
What procedures would I need to do to upgrade from the "Stock" Slim Bean 4.0 with the Fusion Kernel 4.5 (About Phone says its: 2.6.32.60-FusioN [email protected]) #PREEPT Fri Feb 22 23:49:51) to the Besttt custom SlimBean kernel?
1. Flash which Kernel via fastboot?
2. Wipe data/catche/etc
3. Install which ROM (zip)? - If I'm correct, Anzu mean Rom for Arc S ??
thanks a lot,
~Skaveelicious
Mate, as you said you are already on @besttt slim. But now you want to Upgrade. As in the guide stated. For that you must have latest slim rom by besttt, you can find that from his signature @besttt)
Install the kernel he said in that update.
Install slim bean 8.1 non stop gaming edition, its latest version of slim rom.
Then install the home and wifi fix.
Then gapps.
Then boot to main screen, then install wifi modules for that kernel.
You will get latest update for the slim rom.
Remember, official is better than update, as besttt said. There are some bugs.
sent from Gotham City
1. Kernel seems to be inside the zip like it says in the thread: "use kernel,, only incide my rom zip"
2. Yes data, cache, dalvik, system I think, if it says "full" wipe
3. Anzu = Arc S, and don't forget the gapps.

Inside the .zip there is an .img file. So basically what I need to do is extract the .img from the zip and:
1. flash the Kernel DarkAnzu Kernel via flashtool.
2. Wipe system/cache/dalvik cache
3. install de .zip via CWM
4. Install GAPPS via CWM
Well, the Kernel is the img inside the zip, no idea if it's the DarAnzu Kernel, but just flash the img inside the zip via fastboot in flashtool and then do the other steps.
I flashed it and it went perfectly. Now understand how this kernel+rom update works. Cheers and thank you all

[ROM] Stock {No Wipe} - ColorOS Release V1.0.0i 140121

This is the full ROM release for the build that was released on Sunday, January 26th.
The full build number is N1_12.A.07_OTA_INT_007_all_svn5002.
ROM is STOCK, but does not wipe data! Simply wipe cache and dalvik.
I have not modified this ROM other than removing the wipe stuff from it. If you're rooted on stock already, you won't lose root and you can just flash this in TWRP. I did NOT try to flash on stock recovery.
Link to the Oppo forum page: HERE
Modified No-Wipe ROM.

Currently I do plan on keeping up on this thread.
I'm not really sure right now of how I want to maintain it, but I can keep it updated to the newest official builds at the very least. I just hate having to wipe my phone to do an update, so I figured I would share for people that don't want to wipe their phone out.
I'll try to keep the thread alive and updated as much as possible.
