Compatibility with KControl
[APP][ROOT][BB][Bricked]KControl - Kernel control app for msm/tegra3 - xda-developers

You gonna buy us all the app too?

kcontrol is just a paid that needs a made-up interface. I don't see any value doing that. One reason I develop kernels is not to have such bloat for myself. Sorry.

You didnt happen to upload your modified kernel source to git did you?

Id like to continue modifying it on my free time..

edit: ignore this post i just seen your link.

Word of the wise for anyone using this kernel, if you want to use a VPN app on your phone you'll have to install the tun.ko installer from Google Play, which installs a driver to use VPN. I had to install that to get Hotspot Shield VPN to work.

Probably there will be no problems but nandroid would be good for safety.

Awesome kernel mod!!!! My Reverb is 2x faster than what it was when i first rooted it!! the react time time is nothing and the smoothness is AWESOME!! I got scared at first bc i though my phone had bricked bc it wouldnt fully boot, but then it did. it froze for a couple seconds, but when i rebooted it, it was smooth like never before. Thank you so much!!

Hi, can anyone tell me how to change the clock frequency?
The dev warned about not using less than 245 mhz that means we can change it?
I just want to lower from 1.8 to 1.5 .
Can someone help?

Use a free app called No-Frills

Why are you lowering it, though?

Thanks. I just did.
I'm just trying to be on safe side. I'm not a fan of overclocking so that's why.

Hello! I haven't been here in a long time because everything's been going really smoothly. (Well, the now-rare "touchscreen freeze" that I've decided isn't worth making a fuss about and could very well be related to running a high-demand app like The Simpsons Tapped Out.)

Anyhow, I'm troubleshooting an issue I'm having with installing a *cough* certain app: Sometimes it will give me a "parsing error" and abort the installation process before it begins, sometimes it will install but tell me my "device is full" (even though it isn't). It occurred to me to wonder if there were any updates here, on the off chance that my setup is at all relevant.

Right now, my "About Device" says:
Model number
SPH-M950
Android version
4.1.2
Baseband version
M950VPBMI2
Kernel version
3.0.101-MiRaGe

Thank you.

Hey Shy;
I haven't been here in a while either; mainly because I've moved to the Moto G (WONDERFUL phone, btw).

As far as I know, mrg666 has stopped updating/developing for this kernel some time ago.
Superboy4444 still had the phone...until recently; so further development is going to be at his whim. But he does check in here from time to time, so who knows, maybe he'd try and put you something together to see if it'd alleviate the grief you're experiencing w/the phone.
Other than that, I'd recommend not using the 'app' in question, if it's not an absolute necessity...

Sorry to be a killjoy.. :s:

Peace,
Sox

It also appears that you have the last version that mrg666 posted...

That's cool. I suspected as much, given how quiet my inbox has been with regard to this thread. But I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks.

(Tell me about the Moto G by the way! Specs?)

Further investigation (google-ing 'parsing error') did turn up a bunch of ideas to fix...might be worth you're time....:dontknow:

Well, now I feel like a dummy for not thinking to Google it.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I would try wiping cache/dalvik-cache in the recovery. It seems that one or both of those partitions need cleaning. Recharge before doing that since reboot will take long while dalvik-cache is rebuilt. I am not updating the kernel since I don't have the device anymore.

Wow, thanks for the reply! I'll try that when I get a chance. Will I need to back anything up first?

Thank you.

Backup would be good but wiping cache and dalvik-cache wouldn't erase your settings or apps unless something horribly goes wrong with the recovery.

Hi I'm new to rooting and unlocking. It's awesome to see current up to date feedback on the reverb. What is the page or link to get started on the process for my reverb?

Please check the stickies in this forum. You will everything you need to know

Welp, I tried that, although once in recovery all I could see was the Wipe Cache option, couldn't find anything about dalvik-cache. Didn't take very long, but it reported the operation successful. According to the Storage Info tab in Link2SD Plus, my /cache directory is using 9.24MB of 542MB (98% free). And yet I'm still running into the same problem: It launches, makes me think it's going to work, then pops up a message that says I don't have enough room.

So there are a few possibilities:

1. It didn't work.
2. I somehow missed the "Clear Dalvik-Cache" option and that's what I need to do.
3. My problem is unrelated to any of this, because a different version of the same app ( :angel: ) works just fine, no issues at all. :dontknow:

Thanks...
