custom kernel ZTE Joe/Vdf945

[Guest skboy]

I wanted to enable a flag in the kernel, so I googled a little and found a few other tutorials and I did this:

- copied /proc/config.gz

- gunzipped it and switched on the flag I wanted

- copied it to .config inside kernel sources (downloaded from ZTE site)

- tried to compile

- fixed 3 errors that showed up (misplaced header file, lost "/" in the middle of the code and an #endif without a #if)

- compiled sucessfully

- deployed the new kernel inside an update.zip (built with koushou AnyKernel template) using ClockwordMod

Looking at /proc/config.gz it did enable the flag, the problem is the phone is not working as before.

Touchscreen is a lot less responsive than before and keypad flashes when LCD is off (but before going to sleep).

I've tried to re-compile with original config (without my changed flag) and this still happens. So it seems something is missing either in the sources or the config that is included in the stock ROM.

Anyone has a few tips? I saw that Sebastian404 has built a custom kernel but only for ClockwordMod, so I guess no one tried that on the actual OS.
