Hope this is right place to ask. When installing custom roms.. can I also install custom kernels from other people to go with those roms? Example being that i rooted and installed Fresh 3.3 with stock HTC kernel. Can i install netarchy kernel on top of Fresh rom? Thanks for any help and bearing with my noob questions.
Yes. You can install a custom kernel from a person besides the ROM author after you install a ROM. Netarchy's kernel is fantastic. Nice choice. Just make sure you download and install the Fresh compatible kernel and you'll be all set.
Thanks for the quick reply.. I had done a lil more searching and found my answer as well....
Which one of nets is compatible and between net and king which kernel is better and faster

newbie question I rooted and installed cyanogen 6.1.2 and its quick and have no issues with it I keep reading about installing a kernel with it I was wondering does it already come with one? I ask because it runs really quick and if it has one will installing another kernel would it mess up things?

Yes it comes with a kernel
I have my device rooted with setcpu aswell. to overclock, do i need to install a custom rom?
Cheers
You need either a ROM that comes with an Overclocked Kernel (e.g. LeeDroid if you want Sense or CM7 (Cyanogen) for non-sense to name but two).
The key thing is Kernel. You can chose any (with few exceptions) rom then flash an overclocked Kernel such as LorD's. (all in development thread).
Thanks Il have a look there now
No worries. (Have a free thanks, accidently hit the button).
If you have any questions about the procedures feel free to ask here.
Was just about to ask the same question
I have a rooted Gingerbread stock ROM installed on my DHD, will I lost all my data is i flash the LeeDroid Kernal?
What is a kernal and what does it do? Is it any different than a ROM? And how do you flash/install a kernal. I've flashed a few roms on the past few phones but I still have no idea what a kernal does.....any help appriciated..
You install a kernal simply by wiping caches,(cache and dalvik cache). Custom kernals allow you to do things a stock kernal wouldnt allow. There are some great developers of kernals here on XDA. You really just need to Search the forums for all of your answers, even google it. Once you do learn what a kernal is,you will be able to enjoy the full, or almost full, potential of your phone. Good luck!!
In a nutshell a kernel is the "heart" of the OS. It's really simple to flash. You start by making a nandroid that way if something goes wrong you have a backup, then wipe cache/dalvik 2x each, after that you can flash the kernel. It's a rinse and repeat process.

Quick question. I see that they are labeled like [sense] and [AOSP]. If I'm running MUIU as my rom right now, would I use an AOSP Kernel or does that matter.

Definitely matters. You need an AOSP kernel like Tiamat or Savaged Zen. I had good luck with Tiamat, but I'm running the stock kernel at the moment.

It wouldn't be a good idea to you a Sense kernel on anything besides a Sense ROM, or you will get a boot failure. I believe that MIUI use AOSP kernels.
Hi there,
Am trying to update the kernel on my Desire running Runnymede 2.2 AIO.
Have been trying to do this with kernel manager but no luck. kernel downloads, gets verified, and system then restarts into recovery and nothing happens.
I then have to reflash Runnymede in order to get it to boot at all.
The only one i've tried is the Tiamat kernel.
Can anyone give me any pointers?
Thanks a lot!

Tiamat is an AOSP kernel
Runnymede is a Sense ROM
you need to flash a compatible Sense kernel
i've only flashed kernels with through clockworkmod recovery, no problems doing so, just have to check compatibility
ah, thanks eddiehk6! starting to make a bit more sense now. not sure why an AOSP kernel would show up on the list in kernel manager as I thought that was the whole point... only showing compatible kernels.
this brings me to my next question, is there a list of kernels (with details!) somewhere?
Thanks!

hah starting to make a bit more sense....
look here, scroll down and u'll find a list.
i'm no expert, but by logic assume you would need a sense gingerbread kernel...check compatibility by searching or asking in the respective thread. otherwise just make a nandroid before each kernel flash just in case.
a word of warning, people's experiences with different kernels differ wildly in the threads, so most of the time you'll have to use trial and error to find one that works best for you, as long as you have the patience. also a bit more terminology to learn...
Hi all:
I´ve been reading hundreds of post regarding roms and kernels and Im not sure if I can change the kernel to put for example unity v9 or 10 without changing sotck rom.
I want o OC and 2 way recording but I dont want to change rom.
Is this possible??
Thanks in advance.
No problems changing the kernel on a stock rooted ROM.
Just remember you're looking for a sense kernel, not an AOSP kernel.
Flashable from recovery.

I believe you can because i also own I9001 and since there's no proper custom rom for it when the kernel was available, people had flashed that to get init.d support but i'm no dev. If you have clockwork then you can try flashing it if you want...because i never heard of flashing a kernel alone but with the custom rom.
Thanks for the answers.
Now knowing that I can do it via clockwork.
What would be a good kernel?
I was thinking in Unity v9
Thank you
Its really down to personal preference, and how the kernel runs on your DHD.
Last time I was running sense I used Lees, but I don't know if he has call recording.
PS 4ext touch recovery is really nice.

Ok thanks jagdave.
Hehe and thanks for the suggestion.
