This is a great idea. Im working on a custom rom of my own. I've seen mention of people using various kernels such as downthemachime's, shins, and hoarak's. Do we have a thread where people can find these for download?

Hoaraks and dtms are both listed in the all things root guide stickied at the top of the forum. For shins I think you'll have to get it directly from him or pull it from his ROM. I would suggest asking him for it and permission to use it since it's not been posted.

It depends how in depth you wish to go. You can do quite a bit using uot kitchen.

I'd suggest having 7zip and Photoshop as well and apkmultitool for deeper work.

OK I'm not having any luck figuring this out...
I want to have the led set up to only turn green when the battery is at 100%.
I'm still in the habit that once its green I'm fully charged and good to go. But that's not the case with the warp.

Any help would be great.

I saw power management when i was glancing through services.jar...maybe in there?

Would i be correct in assuming that /sys is written by the kernel? Not just boot.img but the actual kernel.img inside zimage?

Sys is the kernel

 

[drewhill77]

Sys is the kernel

Right... But when installing a ROM that info comes from the kernel.img inside zimage?

The kernel image is withing in the boot.img, packed also with the ramdisk, which includes the files that are at the root of your phone, init.rc , etc. Yes, its called a zimage, which is a zip compressed version of the compiled kernel.
