Ho yeah! So I managed to do it! I modified the CWM and now it will backup and restore the /preload partition...the basic functions of a kernel is complete now...future releases will be on features and improvements...:) Links and changelog in first post...

*P.s. To those who still thinks that it is my kernel that causes the SOD, you are more than welcome to revert to the stock kernel. Steps as below:
1. Download stock_XXLSR_kernel.zip from here: http://bit.ly/XCEejd and place it into your external sdcard/internal sdcard.
2. Flash it and you will be back to stock kernel and recovery.
3. To flash stuff or do backups/restore, use this temporary CWM that was compiled by me: Temp_CWM6.zip. Since I compiled it using our device's kernel code, it should be more stable than the temporary touch recovery, and the labeling of partitions are correct too...;)

Re: [KERNEL][STOCK][JB][16 FEB] Blazing Kernel v4 - New CWM (supports /preload)

You are lifesaver, man. After struggling since last night. I managed to install JellyBam on top of official JB 4.1.2. YES, full wipe before and after flash jellybam is the KEY.

I do not perform full wipe before flash jellybam previously and it stuck on bootloader. Now its working!!

On top??? Dual boot???

Re: [KERNEL][STOCK][JB][16 FEB] Blazing Kernel v4 - New CWM (supports /preload)

Ryu, i did nandriod backup when v4 yet to release. i realise that the filesize is so small. does it mean i cannot use restore? not so sure what does it mean by preload partition in v4.

In jellybean the system apps are stored in preload not system.

Default recovery backups only backup system and not preload therefore none of your system apps are backed up because the nandroid done on v3 doesn't backup preload

meaning its similar like doing factory reset?:confused:

EDITED:
Just did backup and restore using v4 ....working perfectly .

    **You can choose between TWRP or CWM now!!! :D**


    Blazing Kernel v8

    Yeah! As we all know, there are not many choices of kernels for our I9100G, especially stock kernels. Therefore, I decided to take up this challenge! After months of trials, hair-pulling moments and countless errors (and non-stop flashing too)...so now you have it: Blazing Kernel!

    Features for v3 and above (JB):
    - Can be flashed directly using stock recovery!
    - Compiled using Samsung _CHN_JB_Opensource_Update1
    - 2 versions of recovery available (different zImage): TWRP and CWM!
    - Init.d scripts support (Place scripts in /system/etc/init.d or /data/etc/init.d)
    - 3 versions of CWM recovery available (different zImage): CWM5, CWM6 and CWM5 Touch! (v4 onwards only supports CWM6)
    - Default scheduler is cfq
    - Default governor is interactive
    - MMC_CAP_ERASE already disabled by Samsung -> no more brick bug
    - Supports CIFS
    - Merged the touch screen fix in CM 10.1 by ankitkv
    - USB fast charge (use an app called "Fast Charge" to toggle)
    - Custom voltage settings (use "Voltage Control" to set)
    - Custom bootanimation (just place bootanimtion.zip in /system/media; to restore original bootanimation, just delete the bootanimtion.zip in /system/media)
    - Custom boot sound (just place PowerOn.ogg in /system/media; to mute, create an empty file named "mute" in /system/media; to unmute, create an empty file named "unmute" in /system/media ; to restore original boot sound, create an empty file named "ori_sound" in /system/media
    - Frandom support!
    - Patched /dev/random
    - Tweaked interactive governor to unleash its full power! :p
    - More RAM (original=769 MB, Blazing Kernel=771MB)
    - Additional governors: HYPER, Scary, wheatley, abyssplug, minmax, interactiveX, lulzactive, lazy, pegasusq, lagfree, smartassV2
    - Addtional I/O schedulers: vr, sio, row
    - Miscellaneous tweaks
    - More to come!​

    Features for v2 (ICS):
    - Can be flashed directly using stock recovery!
    - Compiled using Samsung Open Source Update 2
    - 3 versions of CWM recovery available (different zImage): CWM5, CWM6 and CWM5 Touch!
    - Default scheduler is noop
    - Default governor is interactive
    - Fixed 30 fps bug! (integrated the fix in BL ROM into the kernel)
    - Disabled MMC_CAP_ERASE -> no more brick bug
    - init.d scripts support (Just create a folder named "init.d" in /system/etc and insert your scripts in there)
    - Custom bootanimation support (Place bootanimtion.zip in /system/media, if none is present, default Samsung bootanimation will run instead)
    - Custom boot sound support (Place PowerOn.ogg in /system/media, make a file named "mute" to mute the boot sound, make a file named "ori_sound" in /system/media to restore original sound)
    - Merged the touch screen fix in CM 10.1 by ankitkv
    - Supports CIFS
    - Custom user defined voltages (use apps like Voltage Control)
    - RAM overclock! (From 400Mhz max to 533Mhz)(cannot be set, embedded in kernel)
    - Miscellaneous tweaks​

    Bugs:
    For v3 and above:
    - Currently none

    For v2:
    - Bluetooth is still not working in 4.0.4 ROMs (although the source code was updated)...hmm...yea...good job Sammy...:(

    Requirements:
    - Running a stock or stock-based Samsung TouchWiz ICS/JB ROM​

    Instructions:
    Flash via stock or custom recovery (Safest and easiest method):
    1. Choose your CWM version: CWM5, CWM6 or CWM5 Touch, v4 onwards only supports CWM6 and TWRP.
    2. Download the corresponding zip package.
    3. Place in sdcard (external sdcard for those running stock recovery)
    4. Flash the zip.
    5. Reboot.

    **Note: From v6 onwards, ODIN flashable kernel will not be released anymore as external modules are required...which is only achievable via zip files...

    Flash via ODIN (WARNING: Will increase binary count and warning triangle will appear):
    1. Choose your CWM version: CWM5, CWM6 or CWM5 Touch, v4 onwards only supports CWM6.
    2. Download the corresponding tar package.
    3. Run ODIN and select the tar package under PDA
    4. Start flashing.
    5. Reboot.​

    NOTE:
    To those who still thinks that it is my kernel that causes the SOD, you are more than welcome to revert to the stock kernel. Steps as below:
    1. Download stock_XXLSR_kernel.zip from here: http://bit.ly/XCEejd and place it into your external sdcard/internal sdcard.
    2. Flash it and you will be back to stock kernel and recovery.
    3. To flash stuff or do backups/restore, use this temporary CWM that was compiled by me: Temp_CWM6.zip. Since I compiled it using our device's kernel code, it should be more stable than the temporary touch recovery, and the labeling of partitions are correct too, plus it supports /preload...

    To those who wanna provide logs, kindly refer to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39014273&postcount=201

    Frandom
    v6 and onwards supports frandom, which is a faster (10-50 times) random number generator than urandom...it generally decreases lag in GUI...if you are using CrossBreeder, it will automatically utilise it...if not, place this script in /etc/init.d and set permissions as rwxrwxrwx (name it whatever you want) and reboot:

    Code:
    #!/system/bin/sh
    # Ryuinferno @ XDA
    
    chmod 666 /dev/frandom
    mv /dev/random /dev/random.ori
    mv /dev/urandom /dev/urandom.ori
    ln /dev/frandom /dev/random
    ln /dev/frandom /dev/urandom

    It is working if you have /dev/random.ori and /dev/urandom.ori after a reboot...to revert, just remove the script (or else, it will be applied on every boot)...​

    v5 is out!!!

    Ok guys, after lots of of testing and debugging by the community and myself, v5 is out now...it should be more stable and supports init.d+touchscreen fix...:)...for more info about updates, please refer the second post or my git hub...

    For those facing SOD again, if you wanna make a bug report, please state what were you doing before that happened, if possible, attached a log generated by lager...logs after a reboot are not relevant as it gets reset after a reboot...

    For those more adventurous ones, you can try this test build:

    Download: Blazing_Kernel_test1.zip

    It might further reduce SODs and random reboots (used configurations from CM, hopefully it works, works well for me so far)...and as usual please provide helpful feedback...;)...whining is strictly not welcomed here...

    So guys, enjoy (hopefully)...and this kernel update also signifies the upcoming of something else...:p
