[KERNEL] Kernel (deprimed_test) - Break It If You Can

***Off topic

Does Prime live? Or did he just fall off the planet?? He mentioned something once about trying to find a different job, but heck -- this new job must have him working like 120 hours a week.

Not a different, but a job in the 1st place.

Plus, he has a lot going on in his life. He and his family have had a busy couple of months. Leave the man be. When he has time, he'll be back.
 
Stupid questions: What is the difference between the primed, deprimed, reprimed kernels? Currently running CM7, which one should I try? Are the "test" one's kernels as well?

I'd like to get an overclock kernel that will save me battery. Thanks!

I don't know much about primed or reprimed, but deprimed is definitely one of the better kernels out there. Try it out, use prime's 20overclock script to find the sweet spot for your phone, then run the primed script and adjust it to make it permanent.

I believe reprimed is one of prime's older kernels and primed is a kernel that is usually suggested if deprimed doesn't play nice with your phone.

My advice, try deprimed first, if that doesn't work for you, go with primed.
 
Prime or anyone else with the knowledge, I am in need of a little assistance.
And by a little I mean a lot.
I have been using link2sd for a long time and the ext partition would be mounted /dev/block/mmcblk0p2.
I use the ext4 driver like Prime had recommended.
I don't know how I messed things up, but it may have been messing around with Swapper 2 and the linux swap partition. I think what ever I did screwed up all of my mount points.
I can no longer even mount the sdext in recovery to format and if I try to restore a pre mess up backup, it isn't allowing the sdext to mount so the nandroid doesn't fully restore.
I get the following error message on recovery: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)
So restoring the ext gets skipped. I tried.flashing new ROMs to see if that would overwrite whatever was the cause, but no luck. Flashed gb and froyo ROMs but still no luck.
Also I can't seem to find out what exactly exists on mmcblk0p2 or how to move those files to the correct location.
It won't show when running bb commands cat process mounts.
Though it shows the fs mounted to obb and asec and yaffs.
Any assistance would be like manna from above.
I think there is an outside chance that java coding now resides there, but that its merely this quacks weak attempt at a cursory diagnosis.
Help me all you Obi Wan Kenobis, you're my only hope.
My OG has gone from ahhh to AAAHHH!
That's no way for an OG to live.
Thanks to any and all with ideas
There are no dumb suggestions, just dumb people.
Like dumb stupid heads who totally screw their phones mount points up due to incompetence.
Good thing I don't know anyone that would do such a moronic act. I mean that person sounds like a real fool, dumb as rocks.
 
Are you using primes link2sd preinstall script? Sorry if you mentioned that already just running ideas in my head. Have yoiu rug through the sdext file using root explorer to try and recover files?

I was actually running a different kernel at the time on the ROM I screwed everything up on.
I'm not worried about getting any files back. I can't mount or format sdext on recovery as it says /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 can't be mounted (files exist)
So on all my backups the.ext won't restore and now I can't use link 2sd.
I just don't know what is now using the mmcblk0p2, or what is on it?
I tried flashing primes script and installed deprimed but no luck.
That was an early attempt at fixing the issue.
I think something important is on it as things are getting funky on the OG. And this is clearly user error, not a result of the age or state of the OG.
Thanks for the idea.
I've tried flashing a bunch of different ROMs to see if they would fix it as they might have different set ups including froyo and a real old MIUI and PE.
Arrghhh unhappy pirate face

I was having an issue with my OG mounting the sd partition a while back and prime posted a script to edit the /etc/init.d/11link2sd start up script.

unmount /sd-ext
modprobe ext4
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2

reboot and hope for the best

That is what I was recommended to do. This of course was prior to the links2sd flashable file he created for us to use. However in this instance using root explorer to edit the 11link2sd file might help out.
 
Thanks z but the problem is the mmcblk0p2 now had been bound and mounted to something else and when I've tried to find what it is mounted to or what resides there I get the following response when using "Root System Tool" app, permission denied to open the file. I've tried running fix permissions but that didn't help.
My main concern is that something important indirectly was bound to mmcblk0p2. Something that if formatted before it is mounted correctly could brick the phone.
Since this, notification sounds don't work.
Lockscreen never happens, do even on boot no lockscreen.
The home key now won't do anything, return to home, open app drawer or show recent apps when long pressed.
Nor does the search button.
They give haptic but that is it.
So frustrating

I see man. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. That's...a lottle beyond me. I hope I works out for you.
