Angry [KERNEL][ARC/ARC S] DooMKernel {GB} [Rel:v22][Dt:30/APRIL][FW:.42/.58/.62]
---[ UPDATES ]---

changelog for DooMKernel v22 (FW 4.0.2.A.0.42/.58/.62) posted here

---[ UPDATES ]---

Full touch recovery!!!




[ tips / recommendations ]

  1. for optimal results it is HIGHLY recommended to use -36 baseband with corresponding libs... the baseband files and libs can be found here:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1382657
    (thank you Iris!)

  2. for better battery life try undervolting... start off in steps of -25mV and see which is stable for u... for my ARC -100mV was stable...

  3. before u report any battery drain issues please read this:
    [GUIDE] HOW-TO Properly Evaluate Battery Life and Provide Useful Reports

  4. [USB-OTG] NTFS partitions in read/write mode



[ intro ]


hello guys!

this kernel will be useful for a lot of ppl using stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.42/.58/.62 FW...

[ NOTICE ]
  • since i have changed the kernel version string stock wifi modules will no longer work on my kernel...
  • if u try to enable them on new kernel (v14 onwards) u will get "ERROR" while starting WIFI...
  • i will be providing modules for my kernel which HAVE TO BE FLASHED VIA RECOVERY for wifi/bt (and other things) to work correctly
  • stock modules will also be provided which again will have to be flashed via recovery if u want to return to stock kernel OR if u revert to older v13 or lower kernels



  • remember i have already told this to u guys... if i see some users reporting that wifi is giving error because u did not follow my instructions ur post WILL BE IGNORED....


[ credits for features ]

thank you all for ur work!


[ requirements ]



details regarding recovery and how to enter recovery



[ how to install my kernel (v14 onwards) ]
  1. download the boot.img & modules update.zip
  2. save the boot.img in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
  3. save the modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)
  4. power down device
  5. start device in fastboot mode
  6. use the following command to flash the boot.img
    Code:
    fastboot flash boot boot.img
  7. reboot phone and enter recovery
  8. flash the wifi modules update.zip for my kernel
  9. reboot phone and enjoy the kernel


[ how to get back to stock kernel OR older versions of my kernel (v13 and lower) ]
  1. download the stock modules update.zip
  2. extract the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels) file from the stock FTF u used to flash this fimware
  3. save the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels) in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
  4. save the modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)
  5. reboot phone and enter recovery
  6. flash the stock modules update.zip
  7. power down device
  8. start device in fastboot mode
  9. use the following command to flash the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels)
    Code:
    fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
  10. reboot phone and thats it u should now be on stock kernel (or my older kernel)



FOR OVERCLOCKING
  1. start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur Arc (or any other app which supports overclocking) (u may get a popup asking for SuperUser permissions, click ok/yes/allow)
  2. now slowly increase the MAX slider to the right (one notch at a time) to increase the maximum frequency limit
  3. DO NOT JUMP TO THE LAST POSSIBLE FREQUENCY
  4. SLOWLY increase the frequency one notch at a time and do stability/testing for few hours

[ for modders/themers/others ]

hey guys here i am attaching a template update.zip which has been tested to work on the recovery provided here... u can add ur stuff to that file and edit the updater-script so that the u can flash ur files via this recovery...
basically it contains the correct combination of update-binary & mounting syntax...

this file is NOT required for normal/general users

TEMPLATE UPDATE.ZIP (v1)






cheers!

I am on a tour right now... will not be available for discussions for a while...
