[Q] AJK 4.9 Installation Problem - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I'm trying to install AJK Kernel 4.9 AOSP on Hellybean 4.3 and also tried on Carbon Rom 4.3. I use a kernel cleaning script, flash the kernel, reboot recovery, reset stweaks profiles, and have tried fix permissions also. Each time the phone starts up on reboot i get fc's on phone.android.com and others. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? I have read where others have installed this kernel on these roms with out any trouble. BTW, the AJK thread is closed so I posted here.
Thanks

Probably because those roms are based after the "ramdisk" update issue. Basically, most (if not all) AOSP-based roms after a specific update (can't remember the exact date or month, think it's October, though) no longer allow the use of custom kernels unless they feature an updated ramdisk.
AJK doesn't have this yet, but AJ is working on 5.0 - that will solve the problem.

Question about updating to a newer version of my rom

I am currently running Resurrection Remix ics v1.7 with thoravukk kernal 2.48. I am looking to update to Resurrection Remix ics v1.8.1. I also want to flash the latest thoravukk kernal and the tablet mod as well. After i install v1.8.1 should i install the kernal first then mod or the other way around. I also have my phone undervolted so do i need to set the voltage back to the orginal settings as well?
normally Kernel can be flashed either before or after flashing the MOD, no difference.
still better to ask the dev of the MOD, whether the MOD required a specific Kernel first or not?.
Your undervolt setting will be automaticaly reset when you flash the Kernel, no problem you can set it again after flashing the Kernel.

Noob question: Which kernels are compatible with CM9.1 (FXP142)?

Is there a matrix of compatible baseband/kernel/ROM configurations? I tried using sirkay's boot_9.587c - ICS - xKernel v9.587-C, flykernel0_6, and flykernel0_8, but they all caused reboot cycle (bootloop) with CM9.1 FXP 142.
I had to extract boot.img out of the FXP zip file and flash that kernel to successfully load up CM 9.1. Incidentally that kernel version is 2.6.32.9-FXP. FWIW, I was upgrading from CM7.2 RC1, updated baseband from D-64 to G-77 before flashing kernel and then CM 9.1.
Ideally I want to use the fastest kernel out there compatible with CM9.1, and one with Linaro would be ideal. Any suggestions?
Am I missing something, there's a whole topic specifically for questions ... [HELP] Q&A Thread - MUST POST ALL QUESTIONS HERE [ 1 2 3 ... Last ]
...I'm new here but it seems some people either can't read or just cba.
Yes there is Q&A thread!
Anyway for CM based ROMs you have to use CM kernel otherwise you got bootloop... i've heard AOSP/AOKP is compatible but i never tried it myself

[Q] Dorimanx Kernel + Neat ROM Lite 4.0 refuses dual boot

Hi everyone
My issue is somehow strange, I performed a clean install (full wipe, etc..) with Dorimanx Kernel 7.43 of Neat ROM 4.0 (XXLSJ) as primary ROM
When I install secondary ROM, Neat ROM boot loops and get stuck on the first Samsung bootanimation (where the logo is being drawn again and again)
I fixed permissions for secondary ROM, but still no boot, neither primary, nor secondary
I thought that ROMs are independent but seems like I'm wrong
Now I'm hesitating to retest the same with 7.44 kernel and 4.1 ROM (XWLS8)
What Have I messed ?
PS:
I reflashed my ROM and my phone is working fine, this thread is not about solving bootloop (with hundreds of threads dedicated here), it's about dual booting
Dorimanx doesn't support dual boot with any Samsung jelly bean roms currently
So it's kernel related, I did not notice this detail when flying over the changelog or the infinite number of replies :silly:
Thank you for the quick answer...
Try this Siyah MCM Kernel ver 3.0.60
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cm10i9100vsync/files/kernel/
I believe it is smoother than the Dorimanx Kernel and it supports dualboot.
Tha'ts the Kernels XDA thread:

Not exactly sure what Conny has posted, but just incase you didn't know dual boot can't work with any siyah or dorimanx kernel till the dev fixes it, and only siyah 6 beta 1 or above and dorimanx v3.37 or above work with samsung jelly bean

1Chef is right, I thought Neatrom published a 4.2.1 release
Considering neatrom is based on stock Samsung and not aosp then it can't have released 4.2.1
Got another bootloop while trying (hopfully) the new setup (7.44 + 4.1.2 XWLS8), nothing happened
I think that siyah will give the same result as Dorimanx is forked from, maybe with latest stable future release of Siyah, it could be fixed.
Now, I got tired from re-re-re-re-reflashing my phone :silly:
I'd better wait
Newbie Takes The Plunge to Custom Rom and Kernel: Any Suggestions?
I'm still fairly a newbie, but have rooted two phones so far, thanks to the great information, tutorials, guides, resources, and videos posted here on XDA. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 and my daughter's Samsung Epic 4G.
I rooted my I9100 successfully a few months ago, but have never flashed a rom. I'm going to try out Neat Rom Lite tonight. I've finally gotten up the nerve!
QUESTION: Does anyone have any suggestion of which kernel I should flash along with it? I need better battery life. I would love to be able to watch videos and use the phone regularly and make it through the whole day without charging. Is this possible? Can a kernel and Neat Rom Lite do this for me?
Also, I rooted the Samsung Epic 4G yesterday. Any suggestions on what rom and kernel to put on it and how would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch for any assistance and comments.

Homebutton Lag with Dorimanx Kernel[8.14]

Hi guys! I'm new to all of this.
I rooted my Galaxy S2 on a whim with the dorimax kernel.
Now I have the following trouble: There is a noticable lag between pressing the home button and closing the app/returning to the home screen.
This effect started happening after I installed the offical JB update from my provider the dorimanx kernel made it a lot more noticable(ICS was way faster in that regard... which puzzles me quite a bit)
What do I have to do to reduce this problem? Change something in the settings or install a non-stock ROM?
----------
Also three other questions out of curiousity:
Can I use the dorimax kernel with the neatrom?(as the need rom comes with another kernel, I would have to flash the dorimanx kernel on top of it after installing everything?)
If I made a nandroid backup before installing Neatrom: would I be able to return everything to how it was(stock SAMSUNG Rom with dorimanx kernel;by simply selecting my backup under the restore option in CWM) before installing neatrom in case I dont like it?
What is better: The CM that is based on JB 4.1 or NeatRom? Is the CM version based on 4.2 usable, or do they still have some annoying problems? <----I guess there is still no stable build for 4.2 under CM?
Thank you very much guys.
If I get positiv comments I'm gonna flash neatrom first thing tomorrow morning. I allready have nandroid backup and saved a lot of my favorite apps with TB.
Another QuestioN: Would I be able to install the Samsung Stock email app from a TB-Save on another rom?<-- I know that you shouldn't do this with system apps(I dont want to reenter the server adresses for my email account in an other app)

I'm Sure someone else will know different but for me the lag was always there and I never heard of a way to reduce it, I've been using an s3 mini today running 4.1 and there is considerable lag between pressing the button and returning to the home screen so it could be a fault in Samsung JB rom's. Try neatrom, as I understand it's blazingly fast and a considerable improvement over stock.
I've been running cm10.1 for a while and it still has some big bugs (hardware composer etc) that will probably never be sorted due to Samsung's unwillingness to release their sources, and the FM radio does not work. However everything I use works the odd game doesn't (real racing 3) due to I believe the Mali drivers but other than that everything else is running ok. Recent updates have made it very fast and for me it's faster than any "stock" based rom.
Yes you can use dori kernel with neatrom and cm10.1 as well, although you will need the 9.xx kernel.
You can use the stock email app on neatrom and any other stock based rom but not on Cyanogenmmod or any other AOSP based rom.
Yea backup in CWM and you can restore it if you don't like Neatrom.
Hope some of this helps

Do Cyanogenmod zips Include a Kernel?

The instructions for installing Cyanogenmod on the i777 specify using "fakeflash" to "temporarily" replace the stock recovery:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i777
The "temporary" recovery is then used to install the Cyanogenmod ROM.
My i777 currently has Cooked 1.2 w/ the AJK 4.9 noswap kernel. When I look into the Cyanogenmod 7.1 (old, I know, bear with me), or 10.2 zips, I cannot find a zImage inside. And, I don't see one being put in place by update-script. I the Cooked 1.2 zip, I find zImage, and it is installed by update-script.
So, if I go ahead with the "fakeflash", or use the custom recovery I currently have in place (AJK 4.9), will I be left with a Cyanogenmod 7.1 (or 10.2) and an incompatible kernel left in place (AJK 4.9 NoSwap, not AJK 4.9 AOSP for CM)?
From what I lay out above, it seems clear to me that Cyanogenmod zips do not include a kernel for the i777, but I find it strange that I don't see anybody else mentioning it.
I don't do AOSP roms... but I can't imagine a firmware distribution without a kernel. The kernel file can be either zImage or boot.bin. If I'm not mistaken, AJK is a boot.bin type kernel.
Are there any other kernels that will work with stock ROM 4.1.2 other than AJK and jeboo? I am having issues with those kernels.
