[KERNEL][VZW-DEV-EDITION][TW-AOSP 4.4][05/02/2015] KT-SGS5 - OB1 - KTweaker

[t3t5u0]

dumb question

What's the best way to flash the updated TWRP and kernel? I can't flash .zip with Odin correct? And I can't flash the updated TWRP .zip via recovery right? The kernel can be flashed via recovery?

Change Log 10.15.2014
1. Added key disabler that allows user to disable the Recents and Back buttons (you can change it by setting /sys/class/sec/sec_touchkey/keypad_enable to a 1 or 0 until I have time to add to KTweaker).
2. Updated ramdisk on TW so MTP works on 900F variant
3. Updated ramdisk to sync with CM for AOSP version

So I flashed the new TWRP and AOSP KT kernel. Both seem to be running great.

Question - I had been on TW roms for a long time prior to installing Pac Rom. When I went to TWRP (to flash your new TWRP), it was crazy buggy. Most touch responses were off...bad. Is this because of the AOSP rom and kernel? I had to flash the new TWRP in Flashify. I was able to flash the kernel in your new TWRP which functions correctly.

Will I need to flash a new TWRP every time I switch from AOSP to TW?

This is a know issue with TWRP 2.8.0.0, you need to update to 2.8.0.1 http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/klte

Looks like the guy above has heard of that. I have never heard of that problem and never seen it on my own phone and have been running twrp since the day I bought it. Very weird.

I had never heard of it either. A newer version seems to work better.

wheatley governor is mentioned in the OP, but I installed the new kernel and do not have that available. I checked uname -a to make sure I actually flashed the right kernel, and it's dated Oct 20, 17:24:17. Is it AOSP-only?

Turned out that the governor did not want to cooperate with Linux 3.4, only 3.0 or older so I did not waste my time porting it.

NM, just realize this is just the kernel.

What kind of issues? Be a bit more elaborate please.

The 10/15 tw kernel worked perfectly fine for me on alliance
Never tried the 10/20 version as I'm on optimal now

 

[LuigiBull23]

Disregard.

Working like a champ now. Not sure what happened the first time.
