[rbheromax]

no, but i deffo need it to be

 

[seldomlove]

Want me to test it for you?

 

[GTurn]

no, but i deffo need it to be

I'll test it if you'll upload it

 

[rbheromax]

you gotta make the boot.img yourself
use the zImage in github repo:

I think it should.

I am going to try and see if I can do this. I will post it if I am successful. Isn't the force basically the same phone?

 

[rbheromax]

hardware wise, yes, so the kernels will be interchangeable

 

[seldomlove]

Any word on the kernel?

 

[rbheromax]

well i think this should work:

So how do I put this all together? Sorry to be all noobish about it.

 

[rbheromax]

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!!!! (in cwm)
in a fully booted system (stock not CM)
copy to /sdcard/
open terminal emulator (download from play store)
type "su" and accept permissions
type "dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot"
then "reboot"
kernel should install

it should boot, if not just restore from backup made earlier

Thaaaanks

 

[rbheromax]

no problem, it should boot, and if it does, please screenshot settings>aboutphone>kernel info

then post pic here

Okay.

 

[seldomlove]

Um, absolutely no boot over here. Just stuck at the MetroPCS splash screen.

 

[seldomlove]

But on a side note, I was testing that in CM10, so you know that apparently doesn't work. I don't know about Android 4.0.4. I'll restore back, if I can just flash Slimmstock+. Well, can I?

 

[GTurn]

Stuck on metro splash. I'm on cup v2 ROM.

 

[seldomlove]

Ah. Looks like we both have the same issue. :/

 

[rbheromax]

i thnk it may have been my horrible scripting (to make boot.img) to save time. let me do the whole process manually

 

[jimsmith80]

Did you matrixconfig to compile the kernel. If you did it was configured for the zte force, and that may be the problem

someone test this:

Its for stock roms? Or can it be used on cm10?

 

[rbheromax]

only stock for now
if it boots, i will make one for CM tomorrow

i tried it and it got stuck at the metro boot screen. i was using the slimstock+ could that have been a problem?
