[KERNEL][I9100G][2.3.5]MyGKernel - CWM5, Root, CIFS

[aidfarh]

Hi, this is my first compiled kernel for Samsung Galaxy S II I9100G. Compiled from Samsung's latest source code. Compatible with DZKI1 firmware.

No mods or optimizations yet - I just added CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 I pulled from another kernel.

Credits:
nunon4 - for pointing out link to rooted kernel here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18744675&postcount=85 - this was where I pulled the initramfs with recovery from
Unknown dev who created the above kernel
CLockworkmod developers

Disclaimer:
I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone, other properties or persons due to you using this kernel.

Everything seems to work for me, but I haven't fully tested it yet - please tell me if you have any problems.

Instructions:
1. Downloaded from the attached link.
2. Flash with Odin.

Changelog:
v0

• Initial release - CWM5, Root

v1.1

• added CIFS support - mount Windows shares using CifsManager from Market
• removed debugging information from modules to reduce file sizes

v1.1.1

• Bugfix - phone keeps booting into recovery in v1.1

You are a MAN!! Great job!!! looking forward for optimization.
Since it have CWM5, The custom ROM will follow now.

No, not yet.

Any chance of tweaking the charge rate in this kernel to allow the use of higher output chargers like the ipad charger that outputs 3 times the current of the stock one? The stock charge rate is locked to 650ma which is close to the output of the stock charger that came with the phone, regardless of which ac charger you use. Don't even mention the charge rate when plugged into a usb port.

my biggest gripe so far with this otherwise excellent phone.

Jacking up the limit to around 3000ma on both ac and usb, and letting the phone draw the maximum current that the adapter can supply would really speed things up.

Do you have an idea on how to go about doing that? I'm actually a novice in this modding business, so I can't really do any original mods, but I can try to incorporate mods that others have done, providing that instructions are provided.

Having said that, I'm actually reluctant to attempt mods that tamper with voltage or current settings like what you're proposing. Maybe there's a good reason Samsung has limited the charging current. I don't want to fry my phone.

For now, I'm looking at mods that improve functionality, like BLN or CIFS. Maybe some overclocking of the CPU/GPU at later stage once I have more understanding of the platform.

Already use it..awesome!! But after that I see a yellow triangle at boot...why?

That's normal when you use custom kernels. It would disappear if you reflash with a stock kernel.

 

[jlieu]

root your phone first, then install kernel flasher, then flash original kernel, and finally install this kernel via kernel flasher and you will won't see the triangle anymore.

i am new to android..can u teach me step by step?i dont understand this "install kernel flasher, then flash original kernel, and finally install this kernel via kernel flasher"

Kernel flasher hmm. Can i use app like Chainfire CWM app or Hellcat App the flash the zimage?

I tried both those apps on my device. They didn't work.

So, just choose as PDA and click start?

i just installing miui rom.. but somehow.. my phone brick..

but is ok since i backup my current rom..

can anybody test flashing miui rom with this kernel?

 

[keatsan]

So far so good. I'll keep monitoring for any bugs.

Good job for the Kernel too

Are you using G version phone? Also does Miui or any other custom rom for i9100 even work on i9100G?

 

[lukemanhakim]

thanks! great job as startings to the i9100G

 

[micmaccc]

G

i don't think they are the same, so must wait longer so some dev to start with the G variant

Just did, and it works.
This kernel is compatible with the latest MIUI (1.14.0), at least for me

 

[aidfarh]

I added CIFS support. Now you can use CifsManager or similar app to mount Windows shares. See first post.
