Guest twrock Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 So, what kernel is in the UK 2011 rom? I'm asking about the actual kernel, and not the boot.img. I'm trying to figure out if the kernel in the old UK 2010 rom is the new 2011 rom, exactly the same. I'd like to work on something, and I either need to learn how to add swap to the UK2011 kernel (and that would be serious work), or determine that the old kernel is the same, in which case I'll just use the kernel Flibblesan made for FLB1.7. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's not, it's probably just a tiny .config change, or something like that. You should be fine using the kernel Fibblesan made for FLB1.7. Offtopic: I'm sorry for not being around, but I no longer have the time, the pacience or motivation to keep tinkering with my phone. It's now on a 2.1 rooted stock. I can't even install CM6 or FLB 1.7 (I have no idea why, tried everything), so I can't even test anything. I'm really sorry but I just want my phone to work, make calls, send sms and use a few apps, just that. Sorry. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear of you troubles. If you can't figure it out, I'm sure I don't have any further suggestions. I was hoping to build a mod of the UK 2011 rom, assuming it would be the "best" 2.1 rom and provide the best battery life. But I wanted to shoehorn in a swap kernel without losing anything else they might have done to improve it. I've done it before with success, but I can't get it to work now. I'm trying to achieve that elusive battery life that I've seemed to have lost, but maybe I'm just chasing a unicorn, and the problem is my phone. I don't seem to get any better battery life on FLB or other 2.1 mods, so I was hoping this latest rom was the answer. Toto's rom has some other problems still, and there is no way I can fix someone else's modified rom without really knowing what all they did to it. I think I'll give up on swap for now and just see if what I can do gets me what I want. Thanks for you help. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peelie Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) hi not really answering your thread but relatedly i believe it has been mention here that the apps you install have a significant effect on battery life; i certainly found this when i reflashed evrything a while back but did not reinstall all my apps. so keep apps you most definitely need and dump the rest ;) Edited June 14, 2011 by peelie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
