[KERNEL] Buzz Vega | .32.35 | CIFS | TUN | EXT4 | SLAB | NOOP | WiFi | NTFS | HOST/SLAVE | 0.7

[Guest Buzing Bee]

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

[Guest Buzing Bee]

[Guest jegupi]

Thanks man, installed and workning smooth

[Guest BSAB]

Seems to be working like a charm, no problems here, cheers man!

So, you reckon you gonna have the wifi sleep never problem sorted eventually?

[Guest Buzing Bee]

Eventualy yes .... the module used to force unload itself on sleep that did make in impossible .... now its android doing it :(

[Guest acildikirlettim]

You have mentioned that this kernel is for STOCK roms only. What about Paul's 1.09?

[Guest Pyr0x64]

thanks Buzing Bee, nice work :(

[edit]

i noticed this kernel is mounting the misc partition in the init.rc

any chance of removing this please?

i only ask as i've had a couple of black screens when rebooting

Edited March 5, 2011 by Pyr0x64

[Guest Buzing Bee]

If you flash from recovery it dumps boot --> unpacks the dumped image --> add new kernel and repacks

This cant change init.rc

:-D

Should say stock based .... no AOSP/CM yet ... that will come aftare a few more bugs are irond out

Sorry.. noob here... so that means it works with pauls or not

[Guest Buzing Bee]

yep will work fine with pauls

[Guest Buzing Bee]

Also I should have a fix for the strange way the vega slips into "in not gonna wake up" mode ... very soon :-D

[Guest boh]

Could anyone explain me what is Clockwork recovery? Could anyone do step by step guide for noob to include this kernel in pov mobii?

[Guest PASCHA]

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???

[Guest rferrett]

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.

There isa a massive CWM thread in the pinned:-

If that is too tricky then try out Higgsy's auto installer from XDA:-

thanks for your reply but I abandon the idea beacouse it's too difficult for me and I'm afraid to break my device.

[Guest rferrett]

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.

Dont give up!

Try THIS approach:-

Select the Recovery Tab!

Good luck :(
