I'm using 2.6.1 twrp

I was going to ask if we can retrieve the file by restarting the device, and using something like root explorer to get it?

Edit: I used File Explorer to get it, but I'm thinking you have to do it before booting back into your device. I'm using Carbon and it still freezes up and reboots randomly.

I've noticed my phone charges noticeably slower with this kernel versus the stock Alpine kernel. Anything you can do? Awesome otherwise. Thanks!

That depends.

If you use Sultan's kernel, you have to use his ROM. WildKernel works on several ROMS.

Two of the biggest features in Sultan's Kernel can be found in this kernel (CPUBoost, Screen Undervolt). This kernel is much more customizable than Sultan's kernel.
Stability seems to be a toss up. There are bugs in both kernels. I've had troubles with both kernels. Currently I use WildKernel because of Backlight Notification support and CPU governors (sometimes I have problems with ondemand). That and CarbonROM is much more to my liking than stock CM 11.

My advice: Try both and stick with the one that makes you happiest.

Softbricked twice trying to install this kernel w/ LiquidSmooth Milestone.

The first time was on top of my in-use system (data and internal SD formatted as F2FS) using TWRP 2.8.1, the second time was with all partitions formatted back to EXT4, full wipe, and system reinstalled clean using TWRP 2.8.3.

Update: turns out the issue was my Internal Storage partition being F2FS the first round, which I "fixed" by reformatting to Ext4. This kernel didn't like that, but works fine now that I formatted Internal Storage as FAT.

Need help i'm having the boot loop with KitKat kernels .I told about this issue to Sultan XDA ..and he replied as
Tell those kernel devs to fix their keypad driver:
[ 109.012786] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000001c
[ 109.012969] pgd = d5f14000

I askes for a fix and he replied :
Your keypad hardware is slow to initialize at boot:
[ * *1.250640] [TKEY] get_touchkey_firmware F/W version: 0x0, Module version:0x0
[ * *1.250762] f/w read fail retry 6
[ * *1.250946] EXT_I2C No ACK

So some of the data structs in the keypad driver remain in a null state until keypad probe can complete. Some of that data is accessed before keypad probe on your specific device can finish (so it is dereferencing null data), thus crashing the kernel. It's being caused by the keypad-disabler feature, which my kernel does not have. Sorry, but I'm not really interested in fixing other people's kernels, so I can't help you with that..... Can u fix this for me plzz!!

    WildKernel
    for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II


    Go check out Tame! It goes great with this and it handles OTA updates for this kernel.

    This is a Linux based (3.0.101) Kernel which is maintained by me kept inline with the Cyangenmod Kernel so this is compatible with ALL the latest KitKat Roms (unless otherwise stated in the ROM).

    Please report anything good and bad so that I know what to keep and what not to keep for the next release. This also helps me push out fixes faster when presented with lots of information (such as logs etc.).

    Please see changelogs for an in-depth look at features. Also take a look at the screenshots for a sneak peek.

    A lil progress

    I finally had time to do some kernel work (been so busy last few weeks), and I managed to get CyanogenMod booting and stable with the 009 (I built CM from source alongside WildKernel). This is a good sign, however when I extract the same boot.img to flash on other latest roms I still get the same issue. Still workin on it :good:

    v003 and v004 Beta updated for Android 4.4.4

    Small but much needed update for the kernels today. 003 and 004 beta now have support for Android 4.4.4, aswell as other previous 4.4 versions.

    I recommend only using the v004 beta if you experience graphical issues with v003, otherwise I recommend v003 as it has better battery life (initial kernel base). I'll have it in this format until I can create/kang a kernel base that is stable for all while maintaining the original battery life that you can get with the current v003 (assuming you don't have a sh*tty battery :p). Good day guys.
