This kernel will provide you the standard stock kernel and also includes TWRP recovery.​



( disclaimer )

I AM NOT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE
Using Odin to flash this kernel WILL increase your binary counter.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

( features )

- Team Win Recovery Project 2.2.1
- CIFS Support

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

( how to install using Odin )

1. Restart into download mode by pressing Power + Home + Vol Down

2. Start Odin, and flash the attached kernel as PDA.
Remember to extract the attached file only once. if you end up with a kernel.bin.md5 you extracted twice!

Do not use the PIT, do not have any options checked except for "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time"

3. Wait for the device to reboot



( how to install using DD )

This method does not increase your binary counter, but your phone needs to be rooted so you can perform this!
IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH DD I RECOMMEND YOU TO AVOID THIS METHOD

1. Extract the attached file twice. You will end up with a kernel.bin.md5 file

2. Put the kernel.bin.md5 file to /sdcard

3. Start adb shell

4. Do the following commands:
Code: 
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
# reboot

5. Wait for the device to reboot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well actually, that is not what I need because kernel.bin.md5 contains initramfs which is known as ramdisk usually. But I only need kernel i.e zImage which I am planning to repack to boot.img

Correct me if I am wrong :)

Yep you are right, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I can build it (from Github) for you without the ramdisk but I'm not sure it will work correctly without the driver added from the ramdisk to the kernel image during the build.

Just to be sure...
I'm trying to compile cm7 and the intrafms are added with the kernel while building the boot.img, because in the intrafms that we are adding to kernel image we are basically adding the modules for wifi,bt, etc...

You sure you don't need them?:confused:

Ok can you do that, test it and report back ASAP?
This is needed before I release my ROM :)
btw I think we should move on to main DEV thread :p
Post your next reply over there :)

you can try to build it from source...
the source code is available on github: https://github.com/diego-ch/android_kernel_samsung_janice

Well actually I am trying to avoid that because I have no experience in kernel development :(

Am I the only one with TWRP restore not Working properly?

Backedup the default partition (system, data and another that I don't remember), Restored, everything seems fine (no error on twrp) but after a reboot the phone goes into bootloop.

Yep I tried installing them again and it got stuck on the same step but now i also get Hardware ID Failed popup when I connect the device..
Should I reflash the kernel or do something else?

I was testing antonio's rom yesterday and before that I made a full backup.
today I restored my backup and everything was fine.

get me a logcat, a dmesg log and also a recovery.log so I can take a look on whats wrong.

you can also use CWM Flasheable SuperSu from Chainfire instead of supéroneclick
do you have an external sdcard? it wont work with internal memory.

I would try that if I could get TWRP to read my sdcard,it says its browsing the sdcard but none of my files or folders are there and its just empty.When i reboot into the system everything is there but not in TWRP...

    It seems I have same problem too. I was browsing files when i was in Install option of TWRP, and I didnt noticed that it was internal storage.
    Log is saying "E:Unable to mount "/sdcard' (tw_mount)" and" E:Unable to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory".

    P.S. And too, it works with 2GB SD card...

    P.P.S. 8GB SD is formated too to fat32. Anybody have solution?



    Problem solved. I reformated SD card with SDFormatter And now it works just fine. :)

    I figured out what was causing that error with help from twrp devs.
    that happens because some sdcards don't have partitions.
    So, twrp tries to mount a partitionated sdcard and fails.

    that issue is now fixed, just wait for the next release =d

    I'm working on adding custom bootanimations and cpu governors now :cool:
