[KERNEL][5-2-11]Stock Kernel - No Recovery Flash

[imnuts]

These kernels are the stock ED01 kernel that have been modified to remove the recovery flash that happens with the standard stock kernel on every boot. Nothing else has been modified. If you flash this, you can retain CWM, but these do not have any other changes or enhancements. There are two versions, stock and boot animation support. Stock uses the stock Samsung boot animations that the phone comes with. The second version enables custom bootanimation.zip support. These packages are Odin only, and I have no plans on making a non-Odin version.

Thanks for the work man!

The stock boot animation one fails in Odin with an invalid MD5 hash, but I extracted the zImage, put it into a CWM flashable zip and it installed fine.

Is there really any benefit to these kernels? Because
I get great results with your -100uv kernel!!

You do realize that the MD5 hash is the verify that what you downloaded isn't corrupt? And that redbend_ua has no method to verify the validity of a file? And that what you did completely ignores the point of making the files .tar.md5 files?

Yea, I know all that, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I figured I could always Odin one of the whole packages if it didn't work. I did download it several times to see if it was a corrupt download, and they were all the same.

Yes, they can be packaged together with CWM for newbies.

I'm on stock ED01. To prevent running the stock recovery, I renamed the following files:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/bin/recovery
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

After they were removed, I re-flashed Clockwork 3 via Odin.

I have to say, I've been running this totally stock ED01 kernel for a week now, and I'm getting the best battery life out of ANY of the 2.2 (EB01 through ED01) kernels I've tried. Consistently getting 48 hours per charge pretty easily with normal use. I tried the undervolted kernels, and I tried underclocking, both of which had some instabilities, but this has been totally solid. Who'd have thought... from a stock kernel...

The best battery life I have ever had with my Fascinate was using the EC01 ROM which is nearly the same as ED01. I've had horrible and now bad (it's better now, but not what I would call good) battery life with the community rom combined with OTB reloaded kernel.

I'm going to un-voodoo and flash this kernel and see what happens.

Is the kernel from ED03 any different at all? Could it be made recovery safe?

 

[Domush]

Any chance of adding the tether null to this? I love the stock kernel but need to tether without worry. Thank you

Thanks a lot
