What kernel do I have? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yes I know what kernel I have... But something weird happened. I just flashed the new voodoo kernel over superIO and I honestly cant tell a difference. I went to setting>about phone and nothing changed. build number was still the same and everything. so whats the deal?

whatever you flashed is the kernel you now have.. if it's supercurio's then you're more likely running stock with voodoo lagfix..
Super I/O is kinda the same, the I/O tweaks in that kernel is a lagfix..
so far the fastest combo i've run is Axura 2.2 + DoW 1.3 + OCLF ext2

As far as I know, Fusion 1.1 didnt have a voodoo kernel installed... the option to add jac's xmod voodoo kernel was added in a flashable kernel at the botom of his downloads page... there is a small percentage of vibrant owners who have a handset that voodoo doesnt work on ( i know because I am one of them ). If you turn out to be one of these unlucky soles, i suggest ryanza's oclf... It is my lagfix de jour. If you have any other questions about voodoo, lag fix's or just how to make your phone snappier, be sure to click the red text in my sig

I personally made the switch to OCLF yesterday. Simply because Voodoo makes nandroid an absolute headache. I have to constantly enable-disable it which takes some times. Also ive found that if you screw up flashing something and you get stuck on boot or anything like that, you ownt be able to Nandroid restore unless you were smart enough to disable Voodoo before flashing whatever. hence making you start allllll over again.
im not sure if you follow what i just said but basically, to sum it up: OCLF is just as powerful, much less of a headache, and is basically set it and forget it.

[Q] EB01/EB16 - how do you know?

Hey, a question...
I flashed the 2.8v, which I thought included the EB16 kernal, but the phone still says EB01 on the "About phone" thingie in Settings. Now, I just flashed the EB16 voodoo zip file on the first page of Adrynl's thread...it still says EB01.
I'm running fine, GREAT, really, but justr wondering where to look so I know I have the EB16 running, and if I am still on EB01, then....why?
Thanks guys, and thanks Adrynl for the fantastic work.
Jeff
You are on EB16 unless you flashed the EB01 kernal after installing SC2.8v.
The only way to check which kernel you are on is by running a command.
Check out post 2178 in the superclean thread (page 218).

Jan 2... that would be closer to DL30. Did you come from a DL30 version of Super Clean?
Just to make it confusing for you all:
There are currently 6 kernels floating around. EB01 voodoo and non-voodoo, EB16 voodoo and non-voodoo (included with SC2.8), and another set of EB16 voodoo and non-voodoo kernels that were an attempt to fix all the conversion problems (but at the same time introduced a BT bug).
Depending on which kernel you have, you might be getting a different result for the date. It depends on which files they used for that kernel.
If you find that you aren't on the kernel you thought you were, but you are happy with its performance, you might want to think about just sticking with the kernel you have since there isn't a huge difference between them. Everything will get sorted out soon enough.

Issues with EC10

I'm currently running EB01 with stoc EC10 with no problems. I want to either run EC10 undervolt or the new standard volt over clocKed. This issue is the only way i can flash them is with SGS Kernel flasher. CWM (Red) will not let me flash the new Kernels. After I install any new Kernel with SGS it runns fine and then freezes the device.
How do i relsolve?
I would suggest stepping back and figuring out why cwm isn't working. Do you have the new CWM that JT released(works with all kernels and voodoo)- linked here I think is the newest one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722 ?
If not that may be your issue. If you do then that's odd because I have it and don't have the problem with flashing EC10 kernels.
Your not the first. I was fine on adrynlynns kernal then I went to JTs kernal and thats what happened. Went back to adrynlynns kernal and im fine again.
Stock EC10 = adryn's or jt's from source?
Also, do you have voodoo enabled? Are you flashing voodoo or nonvoodoo kernels?
BUt yeah, I think the first step would be to figure out why your CWM is messed up.
If all fails maybe follow one of the tutorials and Odin/Heimdall back to the basics. And go step by step from there.
From EB01 with SC 2.9.2 to EC10
I've checked around and can't seem to find why I'm not able to flash the EC10 kernel. As stated in the title, I'm currently running EB10 with Superclean 2.9.2.
When I boot into recovery, install from SD Card, and select the EC10 ROM from my SD Card (this one from JT - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010102), it appears to install, says complete, but after rebooting I still show EB10.
Any help greatly appreciated!
You might actually be running the kernel
go into terminal (or download one from market)
type:
su
{Press enter}
cat /proc/version
{press Enter}
You will see:
Linux Version 2.6.32.9 (kernel author@virtualbox) (gcc version 4.4.1 (yada yada yada) COMPILE DATE
If that compile date is the date the the author released the kernel you are running it. If not....sorry but someone else is going to have to help because I'm sleepy and going to bed =)

You are correct Sir! Thanks for your help! I guess I'll ignore the reading then.
What's getting me lately is battery life. I've been through the fully drain, fully charge stuff and still seem to lose about 40-50% overnight while the phone sits idle for 7-8 hours. Yes, it's a little off topic, but it seems like 10 or 15% loss overnight would be normal, correct?

[Q] Weird problem with Bali CM 1.1

As soon as i flash bali v1.1 i lose my baseband/radio... I always use kernel script cleaner and flash away. Everything boots up beautifully but i have no service?!
I reflashed trigger redux14 and everything is back to normal, flash bali again and once again no service. I also tried to flash another KB5 modem manually through CMW and still no service. Baseband is unknown when i flash bali or if i flash another KB5 modem.
Bali seems amazing, phone was fast and colors were...vibrant Would love to keep running it.
Any ideas?
thanks!
problem solved

[Q] HELP! Problems after flashing the Goldenleaf Kernel BFS v18a / BFS v18c

Help me, please. I just flashed my Optimus One with Goldenleaf kernel BFS v18c yesterday and it wasn't as good as it is reviewed by the users. It did not boost my performance, doesn't make my battery last longer, doesn't have a better gaming performance and what's worst is :
My camera stopped working.
Everytime I restart my phone, it asked me to force close setting.
It always doesn't read my sd card completely.
My gallery stopped working too.
I cannot connect my phone to the computer anymore. (it does nothing but only charge)
A black and white screen (like those in the television when you does not have signal) appears everytime i try to unlock.
The keyboard reacts vey slowly.
It doesn't auto rotate anymore. (Let's just say it doesn't rotate at all anymore.
So this morning i was trying to "un-flash" the kernel to the old stock kernel and flash it again with another kernel but couldn't find anything in the internet. I got angry and just flashed it with the new kernel (Goldenleaf BFS v18a) without "un-flashing" it first. I flashed it with Goldenleaf BFS v18a because i thought the older version might be more stable.
After i flashed it with Goldenleaf BFS v18a, the same thing still continue to happen.
I couldn't find anything in the internet. I don't know what to do, can anyone help me, please ?! Your help is very much appreciated.
When you flash a kernel different to the default rom, the only way to get back to that default rom kernel is to reflash the rom, in your case my best bet is your using cm7 6.5.8. That being said the latest updated franco kernel is cfs 19.2. Somethings wrong with the brain **** scheduler (bfs)..your best bet, reflash everything and start from scratch, do your backups than wipe everything in recovery, before I ever flash a rom or kernel..I always wipe cache and dalvik cache than flash than wipe cache/dalvik cache..the most important lesson is knowing a .32 kernel (goldenleaf, franco 19.2) are designed for .32 roms ,you can't mix a 35 kernel with 32 RIM or you'll end in a bootlop...read everything you can before you flash anything because those problems you say your experiencing I never once had myself.. don't expect gold, franco and fserve work there asses off trying to her good kernels out. To recap: either use fserves goldenleaf or francos cfs 19.2 but restart everything before you do, get a clean slate...inbox me if you got the same problems, alot of devs are tied up at the moment

Can you show me a step by step tutorial? I'm really bad in this. I took 2 days to root my phone, that's how bad i am. And one more thing, it doesn't auto apply my Golauncher theme which i had moved to SD card when i turned it on and the keyboard reacts very slowly.
thanks for solving
