Absolutely amazing boost....

When you install this, do you have to wipe everything off the phone, and reload everything? Can we over clock with this?

Easy ...... baby steps (lol) :p . Trust me , once they have figured out the overclocking , there will be a thread for it and it will be full ! I'll be one of the first in there . :D
 
ShabbyKernel running good today. Hey, if this is the thread where new Kernels will be posted, it might be a good idea to make it Sticky!

This might also apply to the modem update, phone hack, themes, etc. This is all good stuff that might get overlooked by new members.
 
nah once i get something that is actually a custom kernel then ill make a new thread, right now im just unpacking it editing and repacking it.. we cant seem to get source to work right
 
Could somebody repost the kernel link, the original link is dead.

Does anybody notice if batt life is better running the kernel?

Funny you should mention that, I came here tonight because I was suprised, and pleased to see that today, after redoing the phone and everything and then fully charging it I have 1 day 5 hours on the phone at this moment and it still shows 66% charge.

Granted this has been a very slow day for my phone, no phone calls today and only occasional internet searching. and less then 45 mins of games.
 
Forgive me if I've missed it but, how can we tell if it's been installed properly?
It flashed throught odin fine and all. Was just wondering if we had a way to verify if prying eyes are still watching me.

I have seen better battery life, though I can not be completely sure it because of this alone.
I did do several things to the phone so..

I ran a "test" on my phone to see if it helped the battery. I turned off my battery saver and other associated programs for the past several days and used the phone as normal (playing around on the android market, listening to music, making calls, texting, etc...). I also kept my charger handy at work just in case. I noticed that on the first day that the battery went down pretty quickly and had to be recharged, but yesterday it held out pretty well with heavy use. It definately helped....
 
if you want to see if its been disabled in terminal emulator type the following

pidof RescueStarter
pidof RescueServer

if it gives a number then its running.. this kernel should halt that tho

No number. it just came back to the command line with the $ prompt after each line.

I guess it worked! Goodbye Big Brother! Almost, that is.
 
Will we still be able to get updates with this kernel installed? Just curious. Also, I dont know if its just me but, the link for shabby's kernel is down. Could somebody repost? Please.
 
I think boost used this backdoor to reprogram my msid when i was having problems with my text messages... i think i might keep it... seein as there is no boost store i can go to...

After the phone restarts you have to wait the 5 mins it takes until odin will tell you eaither pass or fail. I havent cheked to see if I get a number or not but I have seen an increase in battery life using shabbys kernel.

Ok ran the command shabby said to in Android Terminal and Nothing happens after it says excuting pidof RescueStarter pidof RescueServer. so I take that to mean that it worked on my prevail then.
 
i did but when i check to see if its still running i still get a number in terminal emulator

Did Odin tell you that the process PASSED ? If you have done everything correctly and wait until Odin completes , it should work . Also , if you are not doing a bunch of tethering and aren't having battery issues , I really wouldn't worry about it . I did it because I mainly use my phone as a wireless modem and have done a bunch of modifications to it . I don't want Boost opening the backdoor and snooping around where they are not wanted . :D
