K so I got a quick question. I installed baconbits a while ago, I have cyanogen rc3 installed and I plan to update to final.
My question is I want to replace my kernel with flippy's new one. Do I need to do anything to remove the old kernel or..?

Any kernel you flash will overwrite the old one just make sure the kernel is compatable with whatever rom you are useing. Make a backup if your unsure or care about your data.

Just a note: don't try to install baconbits on top of Cyanogenmod. Its highly unstable. baconbits was designed as a sort of preview kernal to be installed on stock roms, and the actual Cyanogenmod already has all of the features in baconbits.

Hey guys, I can't seem to find the answer to this question...
I have CM 6.1 ROM on my G2 and I would like to flash pershoots kernel. Do I have to take any steps other than a backup of the ROM? Using rom manager, will it be a fairly smooth transition?
All I did is backup and flash pershoot over cm 6.1 using rom manager without doing anything else and everything is working perfectly fine for me

Also, I've had results vary with the different nightlies I'm using. I wouldn't sweat it if it doesn't work properly right away. That's what the backup is for. Word.
cool, thanks for your input
Hi what's the best and latest gingerbread with sense Rom? Or best Rom even and can I take it black.to stock.if needed
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There is no GB with sense yet, and it will be a long time before we will see any, but as for AOSP roms, both cyanogen, AdamG and a few others are working on it. I will suggest you try oxygen by AdamG. Like any other GB rom its still beta, but it should be quite stable.
Also this requires root of course, so if you don't have it, either get it or forget GB for now. And yes you can of course revert to stock like on any other rom.

No gingerbread with sense. 2 gingerbread rom's out officially (from Dev) is gingervillian.5 and oxygen2 RC 4. Also out is a pre RC of cm7. I've used both oxygen and gingervillian and both are good. I've not used cm7 yet.

To get back to stock, you need to ensure that you can get hold of the original RUU for your phone. Assuming you're branded....

Kinda new to this. Can I run the oxygen rom if I am running a cdma desire or is this only for a GSM desire. Or does it even matter? Thanks in advance.
Sadly, currently you cannot run Oxygen on a CDMA.
I'm still kinda new to all this android stuff.even though I've educated myself on everything I know so far. Point is...can someone please tell me what the vision-bacon bits v0.1 is all about? For info purposes...I'm running the virtuous rom, oc'd to 1.3Ghz and of course rooted.

BaconBits is something that Cyanogen came up with after permanent root was achieved but before the first builds of CyanogenMOD were available. It replaces the kernel and make some other tweaks. AFAIK it's only intended for the stock ROM I would not use it if you are running any kind of custom ROM.
Why does rom manager only support two different roms for the g2 but has a much larger selection on other phones such as the droid or evo? I would like a little more selection than a kernel, nightlies for one rom, and one sense based rom to choose from. Anyone have some insight to why this is?

I never use Rom Manager to flash any Roms, I personally like to flash new Roms from recovery and actually go thru the process of wiping and installing the Rom myself. As for your question of why it only supports 2 Roms, I'm really not sure why.
EDIT: If found this LINK that might explain why, it looks like the ROM Dev's need to go thru the process of getting there Roms on Rom Manager, and maybe some of them haven't or dont want to go thru the process.
Exactly what he said. Its up to the rom dev to put it in rom manager and work with koush.

Is there more ROMs on the premium version of ROM Manager or does it just make it easier to update?

Premium just gives you access to the nightlies, sadly ... start asking the devs to submit their ROMs

I also manually flash my roms, and wipe caches and battery stats, but its just handy to be able to download it like a cm7 nightly and be notified about rom updates. Then from there I take over and flash it myself. But would like to see a variety up there that's all. I would be more inclined to try different roms I think. I've only had cm6.1.1 and about 75 different cm7 builds, between gridlocks build and when they became official nightlies.

I really like being rooted and I used cyanogenmod 7 release candidate for at least a week and I missed stock so I flashed it back. I really don't know much about kernels, so I was wondering if a custom kernel would work on the stock Rom and change much of it?
Yes. You need a Sense based kernel.

I would recommend Lou's #8 or Chads, both run great on stock roms.
This one is nice and stable
