Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

yes i do, i just dont know if this is like installing any other rom...was a serious question
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

Wow, I was my old account. I do know what I am doing and have installed many different roms just not sure if there is any difference. Any help would be appreciated
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

So now that we have the source for 2.3.4 what do we need to do to get a custom ROM or make the Kernel work with the P500 ROM's. Even better yet does this mean ICS is at our grasp now?
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

My limited take is that with a .35 kernal we're atleast in business on some of the Gingerbread ROMS.

Official CM7 (nightlies) are on New Baseband (NBB) but there is a patch that for OBB that will allow you to use it. My only question is will the patch overwrite our "special" kernal.

There are a bunch of kernals out there now that claim to have ended Blackscreen bug. If that the case and it can be worked into Jobans kernal then I a for one am happy and content.

ICS would be terrific, but our phones may be too underpowered for that.

I think the CM7 nightlies would depend on whether the updates completely overwrote the ROM or it they were just updates.

As to ICS its more of a novelty for our phones. Technically they have the power to run it but the GPU isnt supported or powerful enough (not sure which) to support the cool 3D stuff of ICS.

When it comes to the kernel do we actually need a specially cooked kernel or will the stock one do it for us?

Joban just a side thought it might be a good idea to start a new thread for the .35 kernel if you're thinking of cooking up a sweet kernel for us, being that we are already up to almost 80 pages worth of post and a whole bunch of them have little to do with the new source.

did the Thrive get the update as well?
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

Just attempted to install the official P505 Gingerbread rom onto my Thrive with CWM and it aborts the installation as soon as it starts? :(

Sorry no love on the P506 specifically. I checked LG's request site and they don't even have button to request things. You might need to go to the P505 page and use its form to ask for the P506 updates. More than likely the kernel source will work for the Thrive so once we figure out what to do about the kernel we will be able to run just about any .35 ROM that we want. But I would assume LG has put something in place in the source to make the Thrive and the Phoenix different for sales reasons.

Did you even try to use the LG mobile update/ support tool? that's the only way you can get the update.
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

But i have been using Joban's kernel with CM7 in my thrive, so i assume they are the same phone

We would need a specially cooked kernel. Joban obviously can answer this definitively, but right now without his kernel we cant use the p500 ROMS its only his kernel that allows that to happen. Trying to use any other kernel will make our phones fail. The current CM7 stock kernel is only for p500 phones. So he would have to adapt the CM7 or any other kernel for the 505/506 phones.

The baseband patch I dont think is dependent on the kernel, but if it does, then we might not be able to keep up with the Official CM7. But as I said, there are a few other ROMS out there that seem to be working just fine (Oxygen).

To the other posters. Guys, use you brain. This is not a flashable ROM. You are either on stock and can get it OTA or you need someone to compile it for you and make it into a flashable ROM. At the same time on what planet do you 506Thrive users think that you can try and install the 505Phoenix ROM? The only reason we can use the 500 Roms is because of Jobans kernel. A kernel is not the same as a ROM.
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

LOL noo u cant not flash the source files and think it will work!! and there is nothing wrong by flashing either thrive or phoenix rom their both basically the same! If both phones can use the same kernel why not roms?

UPDATE: Thanks to LG to releasing the kernel but everything is all F**KEd up in the source! All the drivers and i get like millions of errors! Looks like they didnt even try to see if it worked?
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

GUUUESSSS WHHHHATTTT! AFTER LIKE 100 PATCHES I GOT IT! The phone just booted and i noticed the lag is almost gone now! I also patched the blackscreen fix so im gonna test that out and i noticed the rotation is wayyy smoother than ever before! But the wifi doesnt work so we need to look into that more! But now im heading to ICS like i promised all you guys! =)
