[ features/changelog ]

• [ v15 onwards ] Removed 1380MHz frequency and added 1350MHz instead
• [ v15 onwards ] Provided Smartreflex nvalues to all intermediate frequencies, which will calibrate voltages as per each device requirement and should provide stable OC experience
• [ v15 onwards ] Respecting cpufreq policy in any condition
• [ v15 onwards ] Fix multiple Home button presses
• [ v15 onwards ] Disabled LED driver suspend in sleep mode for bln - should allow using modified services.jar and liblights.so for BLN support

FAQs & TIPs



[ FAQs ]


[ Q ] will i lose all my data if i flash this kernel?
Ans: NO


[ Q ] I flashed the kernel and now my device is stuck at bootanimation!
Ans: are u sure that u are on the correct firmware? only XXKPQ is currently supported. try a fresh flash of full XXKPQ firmware and then flash our kernel.


[ Q ] how do i know that the kernel is correctly flashed? how do i identify kernel version?
Ans: check about phone, u will see something like THIS. the kernel version will read as:

2.6.35.7-CL709629
DooMLoRD@UtterChaos #1

• -CL709629 - indicates the version string for XXKPQ
• DooMLoRD - indicates the person who compiled the kernel, it will be either me (DooMLoRD) or Napstar
• UtterChaos - indicates the name of our Team (UtterChaos)
• #1 - indicates the kernel release version

[ Q ] Will you be creating a kernel for firmware XYZ?
Ans: NO. we will stick only to the most used/most recent firmware.


[ Q ] When will you add XYZ feature?
Ans: We cannot comment on addition of any particular feature, also currently dont have any fixed timeline.


[ Q ] when will you release the new version of kernel?
Ans: DO NOT ASK FOR ETA, RELEASE TIME... when we think its ready it will be released....


[ Q ] Can u give us a small idea about new features which are being added?
Ans: DO NOT ASK FOR LIST OF NEW FEATURES... we are trying our best to get the best of features working for this device... when we are ready u will get new kernel to play with...


[ Q ] oohh this kernel has so many features.... wht does this mean? how does it help? how is it useful to me?
Ans: check the TIPs section for links to some relevant threads/post which explain more abt this. also if that isnt wht u looking for SEARCH ON GOOGLE.


[ Q ] guys i love ur work!! can i add u on facebook/twitter?
Ans: glad u appreciate it but NO... we do not encourage FANBOYISM though we happily accept donations to continue our kickass work



IF WE SEE ANY OF THE SAME QUESTIONS BEING REPEATED, WE WILL IGNORE YOU POST

How to change bootlogo/bootscreen

How to change bootlogo/bootscreen

Our kernel (v03 onwards) comes with its own bootlogo/bootscreen... but to enable that bootlogo/bootscreen u need to separately flash a file via ODIN...

This basically is based on what Skin1980 had posted to modify bootlogo...


[ how to enable loading custom bootlogo ]

• first download modifier-XXKPQ-bootlogo.tar
• check the md5hash of the file to ensure file integrity
• reboot device into Download mode
• connect to PC via USB cable
• start ODIN
• make sure that device is detected
• click on PDA and select the file u downloaded
• now click start
• after flashing is successful the device will reboot
• now flash our kernel!

[ how to have ur own custom bootlogo ]

• this can be done ONLY after u flash the modifier
• u need a 480x800 image and it has to be in JPEG format
• the file should be called as logo.jpg and has to be saved in /mnt/.lfs/
• thats it reboot device to see ur own logo

[ how to disable loading custom bootlogo ]

1. first download stock-XXKPQ-bootlogo.tar
2. check the md5hash of the file to ensure file integrity
3. reboot device into Download mode
4. connect to PC via USB cable
5. start ODIN
6. make sure that device is detected
7. click on PDA and select the file u downloaded
8. now click start
9. after flashing is successful the device will reboot
10. now custom bootlogo will be disabled!

Stock XXKPQ
MD5HASH: 0a2a8a45c4b44cbbf170e3b85ff748dd


[ troubleshooting ]

• at first u may need to reboot 2 or 3 times to see our custom bootlogo
• if even after flashing the modifier u are unable to see our custom bootlogo OR if u want to revert back to our bootlogo; then:
  1. once device boots start RootExplorer
  2. go to the folder /data/local/tmp/
  3. delete the file uckernelbootlogo
  4. reboot device
  this will force the kernel to push our logo to /mnt/.lfs/

Try again.
Kernel is released.

Happy playing with your device.
