[Q/A] Zapdos Kernel Q/A and Discussion Thread - Samsung Galaxy Star

Its obvious to have queries and doubts regarding croco kernel as this thing is pretty new.
Post your queries here, and you may get response from me or others.
Also, I am requesting others too, to co-operate me with this by helping.

I have seen the tweaks provided in the zip.
But, sadly more than half of them won't work.
It puts wrong values to files, and even to some files that are not present.
I recommend you not to try this tweak.
To tweak CPU, use apps like No Frills CPU Control etc.
To swap RAM, use RAMEXPANDER.
I will be writing my own tweaks for this kernel shortly.
And since, as you say, the kernel is trending in Indonesia, do remind that the kernel is only for Samsung Galaxy Star GT-S5282.
Cheers

Its a framebuffer issue (in kernel ofcourse). Well, I have never faced such issues, both on stock and CyanogenMod.
I use the latest XXANAF3 firmware.
Samsung has provided kernel source based on old firmwares, which when compiled and flashed on newer firmwares (as I said earlier, I was on latest stock), results in a softbrick.
However, looking at this post, it shows that the kernel compiled from source and flashed on older firmwares had no such issues.
We did got around that issue, thanks to TeamRegular, and got a bootable kernel on the latest firmwares.
Luckily, that kernel did boot on older firmwares, but at the cost of 'that framebuffer issue'.
On a side note, stock kernel from old firmwares wont boot on newer ones, and the ones from new firmwares wont boot on old.
And again, I think the issue is present only in older firmwares. Most of the stock based ROMs are based on older firmwares.
So what?
Yeah Samsung did make changes to kernel (source) but never published them.
So nothing much I can do, I can make a separate versions for both old and new firmwares (with no guarantees that the issue will be fixed), but that will add to it being more complex.
