not so much sure if it is a kernel problem persay.. yes the kernel is one of the problems.. but the issue im having may be the way the android kitchen is packing the boot image with the new kernel

If I may make a suggestion for testing the kernel. Take my anyrom zip and just replace the zimage so you don't have to keep opening the rom up in a kitchen. You will have to toggle verification in recovery or resign it but it will work. Plus just a kernel update will flash a lot faster than the whole rom!
 
After many times of Googling i have finally got the new MSM kernel from source.android.com. i will be listing the steps to take in order to unpack it >:)



get one of these of which you want:

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common.git
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/goldfish.git
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap.git
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/samsung.git
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra.git


x.x.xx = version

git checkout -t origin/android-common-x.x.xx -b common
git checkout -t origin/android-goldfish-x.x.xx -b goldfish
git checkout -t origin/android-msm-x.x.xx -b msm
git checkout -t origin/android-omap-x.x.xx -b omap
git checkout -t origin/android-samsung-x.x.xx -b samsung
git checkout -t origin/android-tegra-x.x.xx -b tegra

if this doesnt work please let me know as i might have skipped a step.
 
you can also use one of our kernel zips and just swap the boot.img out in it ;)

ICS is using a 3.x verion kernel too I think.
 
trying something silly... merging old kernel with msm kernel.. keeping board specific files.. but replacing everything else with the new stuff.. see what happens.. lol just for giggles and shits
 
I tested it out a little bit and it seams like there's quite a few bugs, could be my phone but I switched back to cm7. I couldn't find wifi in the settings. The dual touch is hard to use. And some process labled in Japanese kept crashing. It would be really cool if you guys could get this thing up n running.
 
i had to buy a whole new phone because of this thread :( i got black screen after flashing this an then got it working again but it had no service
 
That was fixable man. Anyone on this forum is willing to help with things like that. That's why its the best place to be
 
ok guys, heh im back.. my phone is shut off... our cable got turned off on new years.. woohoo.. no internet.. on phone or at home.. using my neighbors wifi.. lol... so i have internet now lol.. slow internet.. but internet none the less.. mine will be back on next week when we get paid.. lol anyway.. i can get back to work on this now
