I flashed it, and stuck at Sony logo:(
how is this possible, and how can i fix this?
Do i need a Fresh install before flashing the kernel?
Or doesnt this make any difference.

If you have bad init.d scripts you can get stuck at Kernel logo (Sony)...
Remove scripts from init.d and try again...

Sorry, I don't understand you exactly. You want to know where you can see on which Baseband you are? If yes, it's under settings the very last point when scrolling down "telephone" or "about telephone". There your current baseband version is shown.

I never flashed baseband but if you should be in need to do you can simply find "How to's" here, I'm sure.

The init.d folder is here: system> etc > init.d

You simply long press the scripts you want to delete and then a menu with several options is opened and one option is "delete". But be careful what you delete. What init.d exactly is.....I'm just another noob, but it's a folder where scripts are placed for example for zram, or tweaks to rise speed or others.

In the past I had not much luck when using vengeance Kernel. Was kinda laggy and so on. But now I've recognized how important it can be to install and use a Kernel on a clean installation. Yesterday I re-flashed stock ftf and than UHD 3.0.2 and your Kernel, using ondemandx/sio 1402/245 and left a lot of maybe needless stuff to see how it works. Really smooth, no single lagg, battery life (till now) is great. Nothing to complaint about. Now I now why all these users here are so content with Vengeance. Now I'm one of them;)
So thank you very much:good:

So you recommend flashing stock ftf, full wipe, flash kernel and then back to UHD?

The second part of my post was only written as a general comment, sorry.

I'm not so sure why you're stuck on bootlogo. Did you wait long enough at first boot? It takes several minutes, as Vengeance got much features included.
Maybe it's better that I don't recommend you something. Maybe you better wait for someone with more experience. If I knew how I would help you:(

Vengenace boot fast when there are not bad scripts in init.d (because of proper init.d implementation for sd-ext scripts) like in latest UHD 3.0.2...

Fix for UHD 3.0.2 is HERE

I absolutely have no idea what i need to do here.
I there any way i can fix the problem without having to edit init.d?
and I miss 2 or 3 lines in the init.d do I need to add them?
Can't you add the fixes as an attachment,so all i have to do is copy paste?
and what do i need to do after

If you want VK+UHD 3.0.2 and don't want to wait - must to do it.
In other case...don't mess with your device. Find well reading friend to do it for you.
It's not so hi-end task but you can do really bad things.

I got a question: maybe it's a little bit noobish, sorry for that.
I have no experience with editing.....

I tried to edit init.d as described by gu5tr3......and that's the line

if [ "$1" != "BG" ]; then $0 BG & exit 0; fi

so it seems to be easy but if I come to the end the "i" of "fi" is set to the next line. Does that mean, that I have set one "space" too much?
Or asked in other words: that line has to be "one line" when I'm ready?

Hope anybody understands me....it's difficult to explain in a foreign language.....

So all i need to do is litteraly tipe over all the things added/edited in the fix,
so none of the lines is written down as explanation.
F.E.:
#!/system/bin/sh
exec > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$1" != "BG" ]; then $0 BG & exit 0; fi
the underlined part should be added to? because it looks like something that gives extra information
F.E.
if 2+x=5 then x=5-2 so x=3.
I hope you get what I mean

You need notepad++ on your pc...open up the scripts...clear the text in..and just paste the code given my gui5er...save..pretty easy..why want files and spoonfeed for that as well...go ahead you'll learn something
Guess at the end of script you suppose to leave an extra blank line...
Copy as it is...the code

After thinkin a little how to solve my problem I must admit that my question a few posts before was damn stupid. Of course it's not difficult. I just copy the folder to pc edit the tweaks put back and replace. Sorry:rolleyes::laugh:

If you don't know how to edit text file you wouldn't understand explanation for sure... Everything is explained in the post...I only added two lines to scripts, and to second one corrected path for hd script, and that is complicated?

For any script you want to re-execute itself in background and redirect output to null you need to add this two lines so kernel does not wait for script to finish and speed up your boot (on this 2 UHD scripts for 50 secs)
Code: 
exec > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$1" != "BG" ]; then $0 BG & exit 0; fi
after shell line
Code: 
#!/system/bin/sh

If you have zipalign and sqlite db optimizing scripts add this lines to them also and phone will boot in 15 - 30 seconds instead minutes....

It is because word-wrap (but it does not affect the code), use smaller font to view it correctly...

@gu5t3r: just edited the init.d folder and it worked. And booting really speeds up:good:. Thank you very much:). I take very small steps but am learning every day a little. And that's nice to see for me:D

Yesterday I had the first sudden reboot since I flashed Vengeance + Ultimate HD. Very stable kernel in general, although it happened at the worst possible time: I was just finishing my run and tracking and Arce rebooted just before saving tracking fata from Sports Tracker..

it doesn't solve the problem of reboot, but it could help:
try using google my tracks (i know it's not the same, but it has some cool features), it has the option to continue a session if the phone is turned on within 7 minutes after shutdown, so in case of a reboot your data is safe.

Re: [KERNEL][ICS] Vengeance [ARC/S/PRO][1.32][18/02/13]

Rachit, can you port this Kernel to Ray? I know it is in folder, but that one doesn't boot. have tried anything, no succes.
I only want people to comment on this if they have a Ray with UHD 3.0.2 and got a boot, and then are polite enough to tell me what they did :D

    F.A.Q's :-

    1. Is this working on blah blah?
    > I don't know. Do some research. Keep the disclaimer in mind.

    2. OMG! My device rebooted/crashed/exploded?
    > In case of bootloop, check for conflicting scripts in init.d. If problem persists, get me the logcat or last kmsg.

    3. Battery drains like hell. WTF?
    > Not kernel problem. It's your apps that are waking up device from deep sleep. Check the wakelocks. I don't build kernels to worsen battery life. See here for more info.

    4. Signal is dropping since I flashed the kernel?
    > Again. Not the kernel problem. Check if you have latest ( and proper ) baseband for your device.

    5. WiFi won't work?
    > Flash attached WLAN modules.

    6. Is autoroot included in ramdisk ?
    > No. Autoroot isn't included. Just download flash-able root binary zip from site.

    7. App FC's or something crashes?
    > Try reinstalling app again. Give me logcat if problem persists.

    8. Does this kernel has X or Y mod?
    > Do some research. Check thread, repo, commits etc.

    9. Which governors/IO-schedulers to use?
    > Depends on your usage. See here for more info.

    10.. Version X scored higher than version Y in benchmarks. OP, you screwed your kernel!
    > Deal with it.

    11. I need more info on something?
    > You can find all answers here

    Latest UHD has init.d scripts:

    98tweaks
    Code: 
    #!/system/bin/sh
sleep 10;

#Tweak SD readahead values
echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/default/read_ahead_kb;

#File system tweaks
busybox rm -rf /data/tombstones/*;

#Tweak various memory settings
sysctl -w vm.dirty_ratio=20;
sysctl -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=5;
sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=300;
sysctl -w vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=0;
sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=2048;
sysctl -w vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=200;
sysctl -w vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=500;
sysctl -w vm.panic_on_oom=0;
sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=1;
sysctl -w vm.overcommit_ratio=50;
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=0;

sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_oops=1;
sysctl -w kernel.panic=10;
    and

    99hd
    Code: 
    #!/system/bin/sh

sleep 40;
hd;
    which is 40+10=50 seconds of unnecessary waiting at boot logo...

    BUT if you modify scripts like this:

    98tweaks
    Code: 
    #!/system/bin/sh
exec > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$1" != "BG" ]; then $0 BG & exit 0; fi

sleep 10;

#Tweak SD readahead values
echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
echo 1024 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/default/read_ahead_kb;

#File system tweaks
busybox rm -rf /data/tombstones/*;

#Tweak various memory settings
sysctl -w vm.dirty_ratio=20;
sysctl -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=5;
sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=300;
sysctl -w vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=0;
sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=2048;
sysctl -w vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=200;
sysctl -w vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=500;
sysctl -w vm.panic_on_oom=0;
sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=1;
sysctl -w vm.overcommit_ratio=50;
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=0;

sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_oops=1;
sysctl -w kernel.panic=10;

    99hd
    Code: 
    #!/system/bin/sh
exec > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$1" != "BG" ]; then $0 BG & exit 0; fi

sleep 40;
/system/xbin/hd;

    You will not have to wait this 50 seconds at boot logo...

    I had planned to discontinue this kernel for MSM7x30 devices. But seeing the immense support from arc community, I may continue the kernel for anzu, ayame and iyokan. Rest have been discontinued already. There have been over 10000+ downloads of 1.32 from these 3 devices alone.
    :)

    edit: i am ready with new version. Just need some testers first to verify if it stands better than 1.32
    If you guys want CM9 supported kernel, send me last and working fxp kernel for your device

    Version 1.35 released.
    Added VDD sysfs level interface upon request. Let those voltage tweaks begin :p
    Better init.d support ( thanks to gu5t3r )
    Check changelog for more info on commits.

    PS : Modules have been divided into two sets 1. Wlan 2. Extra OTG modules ( CIFS, FUSE etc )
    Flash 1st set before 2nd set ( if you do ).
    All the best!
