AT&T Galaxy S II Sub-Forum?
Where is the love for our own forum since we now have the kernel?
Edit: Well, it just happened this morning. Cool, our own forum.
The AT&T version is close enough to the international version that maybe they should keep the same forum? Or just have a sub forum for the dev board like i9003 on the i9000 board.

Looking forward to this... but I hear Sammy has been really good with the stock ROMs for this model. Great starting points for our amazing devs
Sure hope a custom ROM gets put up soon after launch. I'm sure the stock one will suffice for a few days. Not looking for anything fancy, just want some good 'ol root access.

I'm sure you will be able to root it pretty quick. A custom kernel may take a few days... a good one will take a few weeks, if someone is able to dedicate some real time to it. Sure you will get some quick ROMs that are basically stock with a custom theme and bloatware removed, but I digress.
I THINK I read that DG already has something SETUP for the ATT version and just waiting to ha e it in hand to test it. Would be awesome to get some tentative roms set up before launch day so I can flash the same day

Yep He will be developing the same ROMs for both phones although the Kernel will have to be reoriented due to the button on the international version like the i9000 was re the Captivate. I believe ROMS will be interchangeable but not kernels.

Depends on how different the initramfs is - fortunately it probably won't be significantly different.
Here's a recommendation I have from my experience with the Infuse community - I'm on the fence about upgrading Sunday, but since the AT&T GSII variant has a smaller screen and no Wolfson I'm likely to stick with the Infuse:
On launch day, have some people on IRC coordinating. Once a root kernel is developed, don't immediately post it here. Pick a handful of people to flash and test. Once they have root, their first order of business should be getting a clean stock system dump.
Once you have a system dump you can make an Odin/Heimdall-flashable system image with root - have someone who did NOT flash the root-injection kernel flash THAT in order to get a dump of the stock kernel. Without that you'll be flying blind as far as initramfs.
A few tips:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17777056&postcount=42 - my initial tips for the Epic 4G Touch crew
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081239 - You'll need this to make a Heimdall-flashable image from your system dump
https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs - Once you've dumped a stock kernel image, use that script to extract the initramfs. Put that up on github ASAP.
Also, I strongly recommend putting a straight unmodified source tarball up on github, and then work on getting it to a compilable state from there. That way the process of "cleaning up" the Samsung source is documented in git commits. See the early commits from LinuxBozo at https://github.com/Entropy512/linux_kernel_sgh-i997r/commits/master?page=2 as an example
If all goes well, I will have my GS2 Sunday morning, and be on IRC as well, ready to test flash the rooted kernel for you guys.
Hmm, I get bored @ SGS2.
If someone can post stock initramfs, aka "adb pull /"
Remove /data and /cache from the local files on your computer and then zip it up and post it here, you have root

Hmm - good point, I don't think anything in initramfs has permissions set such that a non-root ADB user can't read it.

That's what I meant - Previously I was assuming that to get a "good" initramfs dump, root would be required. However, after reading your post I realized that all of the relevant files in the initramfs SHOULD be readable by any user, even without root permissions.
Still it's ideal to get a direct initramfs extract from the kernel zImage as soon as possible.

superuser in stock dump?
@shabbypenguin,
I was reading through your AIO root thread and it occurred to me that I had rooted prior to extracting the system dump that is posted in op as "Stock". Therefore, there is a version of superuser present in /app that I assume may not have been there as delivered. Of course, I may be making an incorrect assumption.
Is it appropriate then to call this stock, or is it a given that rooting would have been necessary to perform the dump in the first place?
I also don't know if this would affect your deodexed version?
Just wondering if this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere, unless I just did.

This is simply a stock from from the Photon's "sister," the Electrify. No one has even identified if there are any benefits/improvements hidden inside this ROM, much less how compatible it is with the Photon.
Just because something IS flashable doesn't mean you SHOULD flash it. OP was very clear - this is for devs only, not public consumption. If you don't know enough, then you're better off exercising some patience and waiting for further announcements.
actually im gunna guess that the man has an electrify and my cwm script is busted
I would venture to guess that you guys will have the same issue we do with the photon roms. As other members on my team verified that root, recovery, kernel and unlock work from the photon. The kernel needed wifi fixed which was pretty simple. In which I pm'd shabby about earlier. The roms also work but some things need fixed to get it working.
I don't know all the details besides what weasel told myself. But mms, 3g I believe works but going back to stock it wouldn't, eri says sprint, blur e-mail fc's and activation for sprint kept popping up to where you have to skip it. Weasel has fixed most of the stuff in the homebase port. I believe e-mail still fc's and mms is still broke.
But here is the first deodex rom weasel and myself did if you want to add it to the first post. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=265
Then here is the kernel shabby did with wifi fixed ready to install. Only rc-1 since wifi was broke in rc-2. If the electrify people want to install it just grab it from shabby's thread. There was reports of 3000's+ in bench's. Not sure of rom it was on but I would venture to guess our stock rom. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=334
Then here is the port for homebase weasel is playing with http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=268 if you guys wanted to look at it.
i would gather a lot of frameworks issues, as with services.jar would happen between the phones.
edit: you keep saying you fixed wifi. but the only way to fix it, is by rebuilding the modules using my config file.. which only i have...
unless im missing some other way to replace it?
I'm planning on getting this device shortly & was wondering if the stock kernel will work with most of the roms developed here? I'm just trying to do my homework so I can be ready when I have it in hand. I'm so ready to ditch the g2x.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
TBH I haven't seen a stock kernel NOT work with a Custom ROM. The only thing is some of the features i.e. Wifi Calling may not work. So it's always best to flash the recommended to avoid boot loops or bugs.
I just looked at four of the most popular ROMs, and in less than five minutes read that only one of them said stock kernel was ok. The other three say to flash either faux's kernel, xboarder's newest kernel, or the included boot.img in the download.
But yes the stock kernel will work but like just mentioned it will have limited functionality. In my opinion, read what the dev says in their OP and throughout their thread, but a whole thread on this isn't necessary.
I don't mean to be rude, just saying it like it is. Welcome!

Thanks for ur replys guy's. I have always used the stock kernel with every rom on every device I've used. I'm new to flashing kernels & every time I tried flashing a kernel I've always had issues. Thanks again for ur answers.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I wonder how this thread's topic relates to development...
Okay let me clarify the whole kernel thing.
We have three types kernels to chose from.
The stock OTA kernel. That's what your phone comes with. It is secured which means it will not allow scripts to auto-start (which means that init.d is worthless) and does not default with superuser access from adb or terminal. You can still get root access but you always need to do "su" command.
The unsecured kernel. This is the kernel that comes with your rom. This is commonly found in the zip file of the custom rom that you download. The custom rom DOES NOT (which also means DOESN'T, WON'T, WILL NOT, CAN'T and CAN NOT) update the kernel by recovery like almost all the other phones do. We believe this is because we have bootloaders with S-ON. When or IF we get s-off we may be capable of flashing a kernel by recovery.
Faux123's kernel.
Refer to [Kernel]HTC Stock[2.6.35.13](v0.0.7)OC~1.73/UV/CIFS+UTF-8[Dec-30]
Q&A
But can't we flash Faux's kernel by recovery?
Yes and no. I developed a workaround to make that work however it doesn't directly flash the kernel from the recovery. It flashes the kernel after the phone has already booted which is why a second reboot is required.
Well... why not? I don't understand.
Unfortunately since the phone MUST come to a complete boot from a kernel that initiats init.d scripts (unsecured kernel as described above), we cannot use the above method going from a pure rooted OTA rom or when going from SenseUI 3.0 to SenseUI 3.5 or ICS roms. Let me know if you're confused by this.
Alright... so can you tell me more about Faux's kernel?
Well since I'm not Faux123 I'll try to answer this.
It's a slightly modified version of the unsecured kernel (capable of executing init.d scripts) that has been tweaked to allow slight over clocking and control over the voltage going to the CPU and RAM of the phone. This can help you or hurt you. You can push your processor harder and faster to increase performance but you may lose stability and drain your battery faster. Alternatively you can reduce the voltage and preserve battery life. At this time the kernel is NOT complete due to HTC not releasing the full source of their TI drivers. It would appear that since it is not technically their drivers, they don't have to release it.
So... what's the problem making the kernel?
Faux123 tried to make the kernel from source, unfortunately without the full source attempting to do so will lose wifi and wireless tethering abilities. Again... blame HTC for that. Until they release the full source we're stuck with this limitation.
So all this talking about kernels you still haven't explain how to flash it?
This part is easy.
Use this: [Guide][Tool] Kernel Flasher 2 Step/Kernel Restore Tool||Noob Proof||V3 released || or whatever directions are included with the ROM or kernel that you're interested in flashing. If you're skilled enough you can just use the fastboot commands.
From bootloader:
fastboot flash boot c:\directorytoboot\boot.img
(replace c:\directorytoboot with actual directory)
So in conclusion... as soon as HTC releases s-off for our devices as well as the full kernel source code we can have some really kick @$$ phones! Until then... we have to [email protected]$$ everything such as fastboot flashing our half-a$$ modified kernels. It's not the rom or kernel developers fault... it's HTC's.

WTF??? A quick Google of SPH-D700 shows that to be the Samsung Epic 4G, which is a Sprint phone. The I9100 is a GSM phone. Sprint is a CDMA network. I hope you're planning on changing carriers if you hope to use the I9100.
Unless you're just confused, and actually ordered a Sprint variant of the Galaxy SII, which is the SPH-D710, or as they call it, the Epic 4G Touch.
Just so I'm clear, the I9100 will NOT work on Sprint's network.

It's so popular it's one of those phones - like Desire HD - that's known inside and out Been out in europe for ages, but the US had better carrier specific devices, faster CPUs, etc. At it's core the same device mind.
I was in no rush for ICS but tried WanamLite and all was fine, although the launcher freezes now and then which I put down to a full phone, and an early rom.
This used the CM9 trebuchet launcher. I've got to say almost everything about ICS is cleaner, faster, smoother than previous roms - custom or not. Easy task control, nice display, and little things I still keep discovering like when you connect via USB you get a choice of media device or camera (with the usual USB development option off).
I've had this thing months and must have flashed 50+ roms lol. In the end I stuck with Leomars then the combined Leomar/Checkrom HD because of the kitchen app for easy addons and upgrades.
If youve never used a samsung dont worry, its usually a simple app that will root it and install a recovery console <- very important, cause after that you can flash anything, and as long as you get back to recovery youll be fine. Backup often - complete rom via the recovery (power on, vol down) and a data/app backup with Titanium.
I don't think you need worry about ADB or odin anymore, but if you do just follow instructions on this site...
Your reward? the best phone around esp if the rom you use adds neat things like Jkays extensions, modded apps, kitchens, good theme engine, etc. For pure Android go for AOSP roms, otherwise they're a mish mash of parts.
Change the boot anim if you want, you might get a yellow warning triangle because the sammy knows the roms "illegitimate" but its easily removed.
Finally, should you need to, the stock roms and kernels and modems are here too if you need to get everything back to default, best get them quick as the download sites are dissapearing, or rip yours first before you burn another...
Have fun! You couldn't pick a better handset right now

Just FYI. Bold/Italic/Underlined part is not exactly true. Some of the US carrier specific models have completely different hardware, and have faster clock speeds because they use inferior CPUs.

Is there a daring soul willing to flash and test the stock kernel I compiled? No warranties
I would test myself but I don't have time for unlocking/rooting today, expecting calls.

Just flash in recovery and pray
(It's based on int version)

Kernels can't be flashed via recovery if they are S-On. HTCDev still has the restriction. Only way to bypass it is if your phone has S-Off.
Also, can you make the kernel into a boot.img rather than a zImage? Users can place the system folder and the boot.img in my toolkit so they can flash it with a click of a button.
Also, users would have to flash the kernel TWICE or else BT/WiFi will not work. Since the kernel is secured, the first flash will unsecure it and the second flash will allow the modules to be pushed.
Good to know, I will look up how to do that when I get home. But does the zImage works? If it does we should setup a community git repo for others to fork, I have very fast upload at home so I could push it but someone else should maintain it, git hates me

zImage still wouldn't work. The kernel partition is restricted and must be flashed via fastboot.
Kernel devs should be popping up when people get the phone!
So basically I need boot.img from an unlocked and rooted HOX+ in order to make my own package until we get s-off?
Someone care to upload one?
Should be
Code:
# adb shell
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p? of=/sdcard/boot.img
EDIT: I have just finished the first basic round of performance tweaks in the kernel, can't wait to actually test it on my plus
If you guys send me a rooted boot.img I suppose I could inject the zImage and let you try.
nice!!!! let the Kernel Gurus begin!!!!!

it's up on my git if anyone wants to clone it fork it do whatever to it
can anyone extract and upload me the following files out of the onex+ please:
/system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin
/system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4334.bin
would highly appreciate it (I only have a normal one X and dont have them)

Wish I could help but I am on AT&T version. N3o makes some beasty kernels. Someone needs to get him what he needs.
I am starting to worry about the AT&T version though. I am happy to test (and have a LOT of kernel testing experience) if you end up building a AT&T/Telus version

Updated with AT&T source code!

WOW! This is awesome! I was hoping HTC wouldn't lag too far behind with releasing the kernel source code for the AT&T version. I'm really glad it is out so people can tinker with it now. The only thing better than the HOX+ is a modified HOX+.
Can't wait to play w/ the modified kernels we will eventually see. Especially looking forward to seeing if I got a good SoC that can handle some under volting action.
Can you use HTC One X+ (At&t) kernel on any stock rom.
If this kernel development is alive?
I know what you're thinking "We already have root, why do we want and/or need this?". Well, if you followed the root thread, you would have seen that the package posted was built off of two images. There was the early firmware posting that it was first made from, then a system pull in a rar archive that was used to put the root package on the latest firmware. In the processes, there were issues with permissions and other items missing. The people involved did a great job with what they had, but I don't like hacked up solutions to problems.
So, to fix that, I had a stock system.img for the release firmware. This allowed me to build a fully stock root package with no missing files or incorrect permissions. While it took some time to get this tested and verified working without having the device, I was able to get it. Thanks goes to Adrynalyne, Mibix, and AstainHellBring (and anyone else) from IRC for testing several packages (Freenode, #galaxy-note-2). This is only the start of things to come, and I plan on slowly working on a ROM based on this then. I also made a deodexed version of the same package. Download and flash that if you wish, but it was more to verify that nothing broke in the deodexing process and to get a working base for a custom ROM.

INSTRUCTIONS
Download one of the above packages for flashing.
Extract the file (7zip works to extract).
Open Odin (download that elsewhere), and put the extracted tar.md5 in the PDA spot
(Re)Boot your phone into download mode and plug it in to your computer
With it recognized in Odin, press start
Once the phone boots up, all should be well. If you notice issues, boot into recovery and wipe data and this should fix the problems.
If you still have issues after wiping the /data and performing a factory reset, please post here.
NOTE: I am not responsible for any ill effects caused to you, your loved ones, you phone, or anything else as a result of flashing this. Do so at your own risk as I won't be held responsible.
Saving this one too, just in case.
I'm nuts about imnuts! Its great to have you here! Can't wait for one of your ROMs.
So just for clarification, this is a newer version of system than what the other root package was?
I will probably flash the deoxed version anyone, but just checking.

Same "version" as the last one created by Mr Robinson, just that it was built off of a system.img of the shipping firmware that preserved all permissions on the files. Functionally, this should be basically the same as what was done earlier, just put together in a less hacked up manner.
What would be the advantage of deodexed version?

I do believe that's really for doing themes etc. (Makes it easier, that is)
Thank you. I ran your droid charge roms. Do u plan on get a note2?
Oh I wasn't sure if it litened it up or sped it up in any way. Would u see any reason to flash this over or in place of the first one I have now? All seems to be working fine.
What happens to all the mods that we have used on our phone, e.g. replacing files. I have changed my status bar and changed it so I can use MW with all apps.
Is this like the other one where are apps are not deleted?
Could yuo explain the advantages of the deoxed version vs. this one?
I will d/l both to keep on hand and thank you imnuts for putting this together. Does this address the lag with the screen turning on. I did of course wipe cache, etc, etc. when I rooted the first time. Remember kids, always wipe when you're done

Its a true latest rooted system image. You will have to redo all your mods. If your happy with what you have now, I wouldn't worry about it.

It is significantly easier to theme and modify deodexed versions compared to what ships.

If/when I get enough money, yes. For the moment, I have a few people I know that are testing things for me.

If you already have root and/or have done other changes to /system, then there isn't a need to flash this. It is meant more for people that haven't yet rooted. If you have only done root, this shouldn't change anything for you. If you have rooted and made other changes (deleting apps/etc.), then it will undo those changes, and possibly force you to factory reset. Nothing has been deleted from either package, just root and busybox being added.
Deodexed v. stock is mainly for ease of modification. After the first boot, there is no speed difference in the two, though you may save a little bit of storage on the stock version. Functionally, they are identical, just that if one was looking to theme or make other changes, it is easier to do on the Deodexed version. I plan on starting a ROM then, maybe with the help of a few people, and this will start with the deodexed version and will get its own thread if it comes.
Just to answer any future questions, if you're already rooted, you don't need this. It was created as a better starting point for anyone that has not yet rooted their phone.
Thanks for clearing that up imnuts. So seriously though, no performance differences between the two? I find that weird if the permissions are all messed up in the original. I'm planning to root my sister's phone tonight, and it wouldn't be hard for me to do mine again tonight either if there is some reason for it, from the sounds of it, there isn't
Looking forward to your future stuff, +1 anyways.
I may have to try both and see which is is best for future efforts.

Just curious how much money do you already have for the Note 2? I don't know much about you, but I already donated to Adam & Beans, I don't see why we can't help you get the phone as well. I'm willing to donate if we can get a thread together. It only helps the community..

I don't know if there are permissions issues with what was out, but given how it was made, it could be possible that one or two of the items with special permissions was missed, and without hitting a specific usage scenario, you'd never know. I think that given what MrRobinson was working with, he did a great job :good: I haven't actually compared what I have with what was previously out other than to verify that all files were present, I wasn't looking at permissions.
As for what's best for future efforts, it's going to be easier to theme and mod the deodexed version.
I do plan on building a ROM then starting next week, but progress will be slow (this alone took a week to get everything sorted properly).

there is no issues with mrRobinson's root image...that article is misleading. The very first image had issues but was quickly revised and fully functional!
