【GUIDE】[ROM Transplant ]2nd-boot rom with stock kernel support (updated)
【Before the guide】
Hi, it is my first time to write here and share my methods with you guys. So please show me your encouragements.
【What am I doing】
The reason why I want to transplant the kernel on defy is, I am now studying the multiboot feature. My main system is stock 2.3.6 so the 2nd-init rom like Quarx CM10 4.1.2, AOKP 4.1.2, new SlimBean, etc. cannot boot. ALTHOUGH you can directly change some older roms' kernel.
【Aim】
NOW with this method you can get your 2nd-boot ROM work on stock kernel as well.
【Step】
Now follows the method. You'll make this manually on your PC or Android devices. TAKE AOKP FOR EXAMPLE
【Simple-transplant】
1.Extract an older ROM of 4.1.1 that can boot on stock kernel. Copy /system/app, /system/framework , /lib/libandroid-runtime.so and prepare to transplant.
2.Extract 2nd-init ROM of 4.1.2 AOKP .
3.Copy files copied above to 4.1.2 's folder and replace those three parts.
4.CHECK IF THE BOOTMENU FOLDER'S FILES ARE THE SAME AS 4.1.1, OR you won't have your multiboot.
5.Compress and sign your ROM, Enjoy!
(Sign your rom using signapk or other tools that can be found in the forum. IF you are dong this using your PHONE, Zipsigner2.apk is recommended.)
【Advanced-transplant】
-for the brave, can keep more new features of original 4.1.2 and get multiboot compatible.

No reply? So upset…

well well well, does anybody know Quarx's 4.2?
Sent from my IdeaTab A1107 using xda app-developers app
So this way we can downgrade the new custom kernel found in 2nd boot CM9/10 roms, to older stock kernel, to get multiboot compatibility. But isn't the custom kernel the main feature and advantage of 2ndboot builds?

If you insist on using a more stable main system and multiboot feature, you cannot use 2nd boot kernel, since it doesn't work on stock ROM.
Sent from my DEFY using xda app-developers app
Right. By this way you may lose some of the features of 2nd boot kernel but NOT ALL. Well, because i am using stock China edition as my main system . It is more powerful in video playing, like playing RMVB films using HW. But I can try the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean because of the kernel. And Q's kernel still has bugs, therefore i share this method to help those in need.
Sent from my DEFY using xda app-developers app
Yes, video playback is definitely better on GB, as the HW decoder doesn't work on JB! I would love to see GB roms with custom kernel, to see how we could improve the already outstanding performance
Sent from my Defy green lense using xda-developers app
Haha, sure , If custom kernel can work on stock GB, all problems will be solved.

Anybody got an alternative where all the roms for Lu6200 are hosted? Paranoidandroid by SangROM is kept updated there with march 2013 nightly. I wanted to try that out and seemingly i cant access develoid through any vpn/proxy. It says name server not found kind of error.

Hi everyone.
I got xperia arc as second phone.
I had many roms and kernels instaled good.
Then i instaled paranoid and his kernel.
Phone start to bootloop, sometimes he turn on and work (very long time to turn on) and then wifi stop to work (after few hours) and only solution is to restart.
And then same problem.
3x bootloop..fourth time i turned it on he work.
Then i instaled viper rom v5 and vengence kernel, same problems happend.
Then i tryed with rush kernel and again same problem.
So i revert it to stock rom and kernel and everything works awesome.
So i tryed to instal viper rom once again, and same problem returned (with third kernel)..
So i think something about kernel is problem, but i just don't know.
Can anyone explain or try to give me solution for fixing problems.

Rush vaenagance doom all work fine no kernel problem
Viped everything as rom creators says.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
i had same problem and i contacted the dev of PA. he suggested me this and after that my problem was solved.i am going to paste over here what he told me.
just delete the bootanimation.zip from /system/media and it will work fine
here you go mate hope it will solve your problem too.

Thought about reserving a post for downloads, but hey, there is download page now here.
Link for newest build (If you see build really smaller than others (talking of 500k vs 7mb) it's failed build, just don't download/flash those please) :

Somewhat stable version and first version will be available in download page.

As usual, the geeb version is for 8mpx
And the geespr is for 13 mpx.
Enjoy, and please use the bug tracker to report bugs.
Hi, I am so grateful for your work and I hope your kernel to bring better experience for all of us.
I just flashed your (smoocha-2013-09-07-04-30-geespr.zip - 07-Sep-2013 02:31 - 7918649) over the 20130905 CM10.2 and the phone (E975 Intl.) won't boot.
I will try it again in the next days.
Once again, thank you.
it's for chad's cm, not official cm.
hey chad will this be compatible with other jss based roms like carbon, beanstalk, etc?

Do you plan on making any versions that can boot on 4.3 ROMs in the sprint optimus g development section? (CM10.2, AOKP, Carbon)? I tried AOKP and Carbon and it didn't boot on either. :-/

I am more likely to compile my own version of cm 10.2 that is compatible with the kernel. You won't be deceived.

Edit :
done, check on ribs.bbqdroid.org and use the geespr.
For E975, i will be working soon on the device tree and make it happen.

I am running your latest CM10.2 build 09-12 on my Sprint LG Optimus G, and the thing is utterly a BEAST. It runs sooooo good. One thing though, rear camera does not work whatsoever You open up the camera application, and it's on the front camera by default, with no way to switch to the rear.

If I have the aokp_geeb_unofficial_2013-06-28 installed on a E973, what file should I get and how should I go about installing this?

This will work on on 4.3 roms. More specifically the one i've compiled. Which i believe is a stupid things to do, hence why some of you might have noted but i'm moving to official CM source. I will have a new kernel coming soon that will hopefully be compatible with more than just my rom. Still it will be only 4.3. Things are going well, I already have a few feature working and i'm using it as a daily. I might go a bit slower since it's not straight port from mako, which has 100 000 developpers. I'll give more info soon. Don't worry, it will be as smooth as this rom was currently. At least with my kernel

Nice! Would it be a simple flash from CMW or will we have to go through Odin? Will you post installation instructions? Just want something new on my E973, so far did not see anything stable

It will be CWM flashable, we don't use odin with anything else than samsung phone.
Tried Smoocha-test 0918 with the CM10.2 e973 build and my phone's kernel crashed to the black screen with white text 3 times in about 5 hours. Couldn't find any way to get a useful log though. I wasn't using it all 3 times when it happened so maybe something to do with sleep mode.

Will your new kernel base on nexus 4 kernel? Using LG stock kernel and official cm kernel cannot record video using instagram...
So, my phone is perfectly rooted with CWM latest version installed. The problem is that whenever I try to install any ROM ( I tried Resurrection Remix and Carbon ROM) the icons are very blurry.
This is the problem with all the ROMs except ProBam ROM which I am currently using.
Any idea what might be causing the trouble and any solutions?

I have a scrrenshot of RR app drawer. It is still ok but you can see many pixelated icons. It is even worse on Carbon ROM.

its due to dpi since its set to 180dpi its blurry...Just download build.prop editor and change lcd density value from 180 to 240 and reboot it will be fine...
So i have to download it after I flashed the ROM?
Thank you so very much btw.
