[Q] How to..... find a device kernel ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I search how find a kernel for my device : the motorola defy.
How find kernel please ?
Thanks

Just use one of these apps: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jiaofamily.android.km&feature=search_result or https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teamwin.kernelmanager.free&feature=search_result .

thanks you very much but I would like kernel to port a ROM. It's the same ?

What do you mean? Do you mean you want a kernel to base a rom on? If so, then yes you can use those kernels, but just make sure the kernel is for a rom specifically for the device the kernel is for.

thanks
I search a kernel for my defy but the bootloader is not deblocked. So I can't find a kernel, can I ?
I would like port for example a rom from an LG for my defy ?
Thanks in advance

Your device needs to be rooted to flash a new kernel/rom. Is your device rooted?

yes it is rooted
according to this post,
"Porting an other device's rom
Well, that part is easy
- extract the system.img
- extract boot.img
- replace boot.img-kernel with the one from your stock Hero rom one.
- rebuild boot.img
- build update.zip package (look someone's hero custom rom to see how to do it)
- sign and flash
It should run place and make calls but probably won't have Wifi, BT, trackball support."
It is reallly easy ?
Thanks

For Kernel Manager (the first link in post #2), you also need to have busybox installed.

It depends on how much experience you have in these things. To me it looks pretty easy but you may find it more difficult. I don't know if you have experience in this so I cannot say if it is really that easy for you.
(Yay! My 500th post)

last question:
How know if the kernel is good? because there are many kernel !
Or Can I extract from my phone ?

Read what they say. Like if you want to make your device faster, then get an overclockable kernel. If you want to conserve battery life, then get one that says undervolt. If you want more freedom, then get on with many options. (It's all based on your preference). Me, I would choose one with the most freedom so that I can change setting (cpu speed, etc.) whenever I want. Also look for the latest version (if you want to have the most recently updated one). If you still can't make up your mind, then choose based on user reviews.

thanks
so all are compatibles ok ?
and how extract the kernel ?
promised after I stop

you can just flash them using an recovery menu, or use an app for this.
I dont know if rom manager could do the job, try it

thanks for all your answers

All kernels you see in the app should be compatible since they are supposed to be device specific but still check to see if it says the name of your device beside the kernel.

after have ported my rom on the defy, it reboot on bootloader with errors
what may be the problem ?
thanks

Can you post some screenshots? Also, it may have been caused by the rom not being full compatible. It may have too many bugs to operate.

over time, I advanced but now my phone bootloop
bad flash or problems with lib/ bin / etc ?
thanks

Likely to be a bad flash. Just reflash the kernel. If this doesn't fix your problem, then reflash your rom.

Hi there,
First of all thanks a lot for your time (and patience) to cook a sense + 2.3.x based ROM for Nexus One. I will try your ROM later this week and provide feedback.
1 question though, have you added support for track-ball wake in your ROM?

Yeah but I think will be more difficult and hard to debug in that way.
I have the same situation as yours (only one phone and use it to work), so when I need to test it, I usually go for 10pm to install at least one time to check if everything is working.

[TUT] Easy root and cwr for generic 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom [+OC kernel]

EDIT!!!:
As this post was written on the 9th of December 2011, now it becamed outdated.
At that time, this was the easieset way for root, DMCR, CWR.
Now there are easier ways to root your device.
There are newer roms, kernels that already contains the DMCR and CWR.
I do not have time to update the OP.
So please keep this in mind while you read this topic!
25.01.2012.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As there are some people, who likes to use the original factory rom, not the cooked ones, I decided to put together a brief tutorial on how to get most out of these roms (only basic steps!).
Important: All below mentioned are valid only for the devices with unlocked bootloader and running the Generic Central Europe ST18i (Ray) 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Android 2.3.4). It may work with others as well, but I haven't tested.
Disclaimer: In case that you follow this tutorial, I do not take any responsability for damaging, bricking your devices. You are doing everything at your own responsability!
With all these thingies that I collected, you'll have a rooted device, capable of dual way call recording, having the cwm recovery and freed from bloatware.
First of all make sure you have all the necessary drivers installed on your PC!
What we need:
- the Generic Central Europe ST18i (Ray) 4.0.2.A.0.42 generic factory ROM (Thanks to Jozinek and SE): Download link
- Flashtool (thanks to Androxyde): Download link
- rooting kernel (thanks to DooMLoRD): Download link
- patched factory kernel that enables the dual mode recording (thanks to skvalex): Download link
- CWM recovery install software, (SE Extreme Tweak Installer, thanks to quangnhut123): Download link
How2:
1. In case that you do not have the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom on your device, flash it with Flashtool.
2. Boot your device, make the basic settings (language, wifi, gmail, so on...). Make sure you allow USB debugging mode in Settings/Applications/Development and to allow Unknown sources as well.
3. Switch off your device.
4. Switch it on in fastboot mode (pres and hold vol up while you connect to the usb). The BLUE led should light.
5. Flash the rooting kernel.
6. Reboot your device, check you should have superuser installed (your wifi doesn't work now, it is normal).
7. Switch off your device.
8. Switch it on in fastboot mode (pres and hold vol up while you connect to the usb). The BLUE led should light.
9. Flash the patched factory kernel that enables the dual mode recording.
10.Reboot your device, update superuser and # if needed (your wifi should be working now).
Congrats, now you have a rooted stock rom having the dual mode call recording enabled.
In order to enjoy this function, you'll need a recording software that uses this method, like: Download link
In case that you want cwm recovery as well, follow these steps:
11. Connect your switched on device, to your PC.
12. Run the SE_Extreme_Tweak_Installer and from its option window, select "CWM For Xperia Neo/ARC/ARC-S/Play/Pro/Ray", than press install. Wait till finishes.
13. In case that "Auto Reboot" was ticked, the device will reboot, otherway reboot manually your device.
Now you have CWM recovery installed as well. To use it, you should press and hold the VOL down button when you see the "SonyEriccson" logo while booting the device.
And of course now, in addition, you can get rid of the bloatware (list of junkies that can be safely removed from the device, the links are for ARC devices, but can be applied to RAY as well): Here or Here
The rooting procedure and the cwm recmode installation can be done in a lot of different ways as well. In my oppinion, this way, as explained above, is the easiest one(till now...).
UPDATE: Here is a very well optimized OC kernel with dual mode call recording (thanks to aire)
That's it. Good luck!
Hope you'll enjoy it.

It is up to you to decide whichone will you follow

Yeah I've read that, so it isn't necessary to use Doomlords kernel in order tu use the patched kernel and CWM?
Also, is there a way to combine the dual mode recording kernel with this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322610 ?

Yes if your rom is flashable with ClockworkMod recovery, and of course is for our phone.

In case that the custom rom you want to use is flashable through cwr method, than the answer is yes (these roms are in .zip format).

Is this the latest kernel from aire? I saw it got at least 5 or 6 update for the kernel.
The other thing which is more interesting is in 4pda, they have this ROM REPACK4PDA, which I can't download as well.

Added aire's latest kernel to the OP. Thank you aire!
About the REPACK4PDA rom: As its name says it's for 4pda...I suppose...
The rom itself is great (made by aire), it's what I use (slightly modified by me) and I'm 100% satisfied with it.
Alhough I do not speak Russian, as I've understood from their homepage, they are preparing to release the rom on xda as well. So, patiance (it will be a nice rom), or try to download it from their site.
Hey seatone,
Installed the kernel from OP. Phone works smoother now. I tried to find the downloadlink for the repack4pda rom, but failed. The place where the link is, remains blank. Guess I'd have to register at 4pda to get it. Could you tell me what the major differences compared to a rooted and bloatware removed stock SE rom with batterymod and transparent status bar (as i have now) are?
Thanks,

Most of the time, changing the kernel just involves flashing the new one. As for compatible kernels, try www.google.com. I hear they have a ton of kernel choices.

you don't have to add any lines, figure out if your kernel has modules. ex /system/lib/modules
remove those modules and replace with the new kernel modules.
you will have to open the boot.img and replace the zimage or kernel image inside the boot.img. Pack it back up, then simply replace the boot image. Don't touch the updater-script just replace that boot.img (new) and the new modules. If you are still having troubles understanding. Google it. I have given you enough keywords to figure out how to break up a boot.img and replace.

That assumes it has a boot.img in the first place. Otherwise, you have to tell it to install right? I can't say that I have seen a ROM or device where the boot.img just installs by doing nothing but adding it to the rom.

LOL. Ah, you don't have the Incredible 4G LTE then. Until recently we haven't really needed to flash the boot.img so ROMs haven't had it in them yet. We just got source recently so I would imagine that it will start being included more often.

[ROM][Live with Walkman][FFB ( Fast From Birth ) Debloated and enhanced ICS]

FFB ( Fast From Birth ) ICS ROM
This is my first work so go easy people and test it slowly, i've only tested on Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman so leave feedback about other devices too !
It is based on the ICS 4.1.B.0.587 version of android ! It is prerooted, zipaligned, busybox included, and signed !
Useless apps and frameworks has been ripped off ( Generally it's a fully debloated Stock ROM ), only basic apps, wallpapers and Radio has been left untouched. I suggest running the V6 Supercharger Script after installing this so that you get the full possible boost.WARNING
This ROM was created for performance and simple phone use so don't expect fancy things like Event Stream or other flashy apps in it !!!
I am NOT responsible for anything that happens to your device when you flash this ! You take full responsibility for your actions and I am not to be held responsible in any possible way !!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
INSIDE the zip file is the edited stock 4.1.B.0.587 boot.img and it includes : CWM Recovery, init.d support, unsecured, App2SD support ! I want to say a big thanks to adridu59 for providing the stock boot.img unsecured, with CWM and with init.d support already in it ! ( proper info and credits below ) !!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now...off to the GOOD part
To install the ROM:
1) Copy the ROM to your SD-CARD
2) Boot into recovery
2a) wipe data/factory reset
2b) wipe cache
2c) wipe Dalvik Cache
2d) wipe /system
3) Flash the zip file
If you face any problems with the installation try reverting back to Stock ICS and then flashing the ROM.
Use it with Stock or Stock-based kernels ( I have tested with Lupus kernel, RAGE kernel and a few other stock based ! ).

Ummm...I don't own a LWW but your OP is full of errors :/ ...
1.)V6 Supercharger needs modified services.jar and I dont see the point in running script without it .
2.)init.d support is available on both BLs ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417375&highlight=init+d ..
3.)It's pointless to have a custom kernel on an unlocked bootloader without recovery ...you cant "install" recovery on Xperia MDPI ...
4.)ROM Manager doesnt work on Xperia devices ,it never worked before ,it doesnt work now
5.)No clear install instructions for each Bootloader
well, at least sumbody created a new rom after a while no devs does. Keep up your good work, fix the Op like the man above me said n please make a clean n clear explanation so you don't make regular people like me gettin confused.

1.) V6 Supercharger works just fine without the modified services.jar, all you lose is the launcher strength, but you still get the Low memory killer values and kernel and all other little tweaks.
2.) Yes but without an unlocked bootloader you still get the STOCK kernel and there is no way of getting TRUE init.d support without the customized one, at least that's waht i've seen as long as i've been using my phone
3.) You can install recovey and i'm pretty sure about it. I' ve tested this.
4.) Are you sure about this ?? :\ And i say again i've tested all my instructions
5.) What do you mean clear instructions ? It's pretty easy You a) open flashtool b) connect your phone to fastboot mode and then c) flash the kernel BUT it's not like i'm here to teach anyone how to do this, it's a custom ROM people you should know what to do with it
Gsm/Wcdma bug not fixed.
Led notifications not fixed.
Status bar network icon bug.
Xperia home fc when ever you try moving a widget.
Performed all cleans, wipes and formats before flashing.

1.)Whatever...
2)No such thing as true init.d and false init.d as long as script is initialized on boot...
3.)Xperia MDPI has no recovery partition so you cant install recovery .I mapped the partition layout of SK17i(which is same as all other Xperia MDPI) so yes I am pretty much confident ...
Locked BLs have Pseudo recovery which vanishes on ROM installations and dont allow format systems from update script
Unlocked BLs use Custom Boot.img with Dual Ramdisks .
4.)I am pretty sure ROM Manager doesn't work since flash_image wont work ...It will just hard brick the device or do nothing at all .....
5.)You dont have clear instructions ....Check Other threads and you will see ...All ROMs have clear instructions for Locked and unlocked Bootloaders ...
According to your instructions locked bootloader peeps wont be able to use it due to lack of fastboot ...
Also the kernel is pointless since I doubt anyone with Unlocked BL will use a kernel without Dual Ramdisk/recovery Support. "True init.d " is ok but it's not as useful as Hard Recovery for which we unlocked Bootloaders
TBH ,I think ,you don't own the device or you have just owned it AND you are coming from an LG or HTC device ...The install instructions are more in line of an HTC/LG device rather than an Xperia Device ...

Thank you for reporting these i will fix them ASAP and sorry for missing instructions, i do own the device it's just that i never actually had a locked bootloader :\ I unlocked first thing so it's hard for me :\ I will try this with both BLs and try fixing the bugs.
Lots of bugs But thanks for your hard work bro. :good:

Sorry bro but is there aroma installer to choose other devices than LWW? (for example Mini pro etc...)
And... the link is dead

If you read the title, you'll see this ROM is only for LWW
Maybe I can take dev files from another ICS Rom, however it is good to have a stock .587 flashable zip with all bugs fixed (ok, except GSM/WCDMA net on reboot). If the developer won't update the links are there other projects like this? Or maybe someone can give me the links of all fixes for ICS?
Link fixed !
Yep, ROM has been tested ONLY on LWW but there is a slight chance it will work on other 2011 Xperia mdpi...not sure though !
New files UPLOADED now !!! ( They're only temporary since I plan on making a few enhancements, try them and let me know of the bugs that come up !
Also how do you see the idea of changing the default launcher ?

I'll test the Rom today and I'll tell you.
Thanks! One of these days I'll upload an updated version with a few changes. I'm working on install fixes and optimizations too !
Sent from my Xperia Live with Walkman using xda app-developers app
New files uploaded + kernel !
I uploaded the latest zip file including the kernel ! Also the kernel itself is also up and ready to download separately !
Status 6 error in CWM, there probably are problems in the updater script.

[Q] Unable to mod my stock rom via Gravity Box

I am facing several prolems in my XOLO A500s ROM (MTK 6572)
I have deodexed my stck rom + rooted but i am unable to implement the Gravity BOX fetures
Like: i can't get the data speed monitor mod,nor the clock mod and many more.
But there's custom rom which has this fuctionality to apply all the gravity box mods.
Is there something i need to change in my stock rom.
Please guide me through this.:highfive:
NOTE: I don't want to use the custom ROM because they have some problems in them some of them don't have gps on/off,another have the 1 MP camera insted of 5MP.
Another show internel memory as SD card and SD Card as internel.
The worst ROM problem can't turn on/off wifi (I managed to solve this on my own but still they have some other problems)

there is solution but it is better to use custom rom without trying to solve these.You should be edit system ui & framework to solve this

It is simple, nothing will work if the ROM is not close to AOSP.
In order to get GB to work, you will need to ditch your stock ROM and install a custom ROM which are extremely AOSP-based (CM won't get it work too).
If you insist, then you can do only nothing as the dev behind GB already stresses that GB are for AOSP ROMs and he will never ever interested on giving unsupported devices any support
Unless you're so desperate for it
You can learn compiling and decompiling so that you can grab some GB source code and make it work on your stock ROM.

I tried to to replace all the files(/system/app and /system/framework) inside the stock rom with a working custom rom(in which GB was full functioning) but when i replaced th the device was working as it was supposed to work but still GB was not working after this method

That's not how custom ROM works. And what you have done is seriously wrong
Flashing a completely new ROM is better than the unsafe file overwriting inside /system/xxxxx . Though it might be working in your eyes, however I am pretty sure there are many errors in the logcat since you have mixed up your ROM with unfamiliar files.
Flash a custom ROM that is AOSP or code a new app that does what GB does for your device
Please take note of the above paragraph. That's the choices you have.
I was using GB before. Since I tried CM, and loved it, I have been known that GB won't be supported on CM. What I did was I completely abandon GB. I even have donated to such app. I feel sad, but yea life must go on
