Guest Buzing Bee Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Here is something iv been working on for a while now. Its a custom kernel for STOCK vega roms. It has a lot that the original kernel doesnt.# (Not For CyanogenMod) it has :- -- EXT4 support -- TAP/TUN driver module -- CIFS + NFS modules -- UTF-8 -- NTFS module -- SLAB memory management -- CFS -- CFQ -- In line with latest .32.x kernel from kernel .org I have added a few modifications that should make the vega a little better to use :( -- Latest AR6k wifi module -- Tweaked wifi module to stop the module force unloading, this makes the wifi connect A LOT quicker after sleep. (also allows wifi sleep never with a bit more work) -- Camera is now controlled via kernel sleep/wake (better support for third party camera apps) -- Ability to flip orientation ( in src ) -- USB host/slave mode switching without flashing kernel As always although i test my changes as much as possible, im an not responsible for any bricks / fires / invasions that this causes :-D [ChangeLog] 0.7 --Patched up to .32.35 :( 0.6 -- Patched up to .32.34 --Not rls 0.5 --Patched up to .32.33 :) --Compiled all modules into kernel (bar wifi and tun, these are needed to be separate) --Cheers the_corvus for the idea ;)-- -- Added Xbox 360 PAD and FDTI support -- Changed to NOOP IO by default (this should increase responsiveness on out NAND) 0.4 --Patched up to .32.32 ;) --Few bugs fixed in .config 0.3 -- Fixed All Bugs tha 0.2 introduced (as far as i can tell) -- Host/Slave now switchable without flashing a new boot.img :D (See USB HOST section for info :D ) 0.2 -- Add Host Mode Version -- Tweaked Scheduler -- Added NTFS module -- Added UTF8 -- Added pl2303 module 0.1 initial release :D [install] 1) download zip from below 2) copy to sdcard 3) flash in Clockwork recovery [Extra] Install the Black screen of death pravention fix from me :D 1) download this file 2) copy to SD card 3) flash in Clockwork recovery [FAQ] Q : Hay my wifi isnt working ... what gives ? A : Manualy Push the AR6000.ko from the .zip to /system/lib/hw/wlan/ [uSB HOST] To boot into usb host mode hold back while booting (best method iv found is) 1) hold pwr untill screen comes on 2) hold back and release pwr untill device is fully booted A quick demo can be found For slave mode just boot normaly :D [Download] 0.7 HOST+SLAVE 0.5 HOST+SLAVE 0.4 HOST+SLAVE 0.3 HOST+SLAVE 0.2 [HOST] --- [sLAVE] 0.1 [Credit] Paul For Hosting the original src [sOURCE] HERE :D Edited March 25, 2011 by Buzing Bee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Buzing Bee Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 If you flash from recovery it dumps boot --> unpacks the dumped image --> add new kernel and repacks This cant change init.rc :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PASCHA Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 my vega down.... never open after install kernel and cant open in recovery mode.;!!! I cant install stock rom becAUSE any ever my computer cant see my vega..!!! are there any solution or what have inside this kernel??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 PASCHA I had this. If you do the long (6 second) press to turn the vega off completely, then do the NVFlash recovery startup (back two secs, back and power two secs, back two secs) then you should be able to flash stock ROM and go from there. The weird sleep bug that Bumble is fixing means you might need to do the 6sec turn off a couple of times before oyu nail it . I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rferrett Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 thanks for your reply but I abandon the idea beacouse it's too difficult for me and I'm afraid to break my device. Have you installed the MCR custom ROM, and therefore Paul's modified drivers? Because if oyu have then the higgsy installer is literally a one click process. You download his executable, run it and voila you have CWM installed and the apk to boot into recovery on your Vega. It really is *that* easy. The only tricky stuff is getting the drivers to work in the first place but if oyu have MCR then oyu have already done that. ________ On the damaging thing it is almost impossible to brick the Vega. Worst case scenario you can always do the NVFlash process and get back to stock easy peasy. Really give it a go, your Vega will be so much better for CWM it makes it loads easier to do stuff.
