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

Ok I'm new to all of this I've only flashed one rom I'm running fresh 3.4 and I want to try out cm6.
1. Which one should I download from rom manger? 6.0 rc 1? Rc2? Or 6.1 rc1?
2. What are the differnces between cm6 and fresh besides no sense?
3. Does everything work on it besides the 4g?
4. Do I have to backup with rom manager and titanuim to go back to fresh?
I love everything about fresh exept for sense. Will I be happy with cm6?

I use 6.1 rc 1 and it is fantastic...the issues are few, the most significant one is that if you don't use the included adw launcher wallpaper change won't rake effect, although a reboot will fix that....you can't go wrong with cyanogen though..pm if you have any more questions

1. 6.1 RC1. It is fast, stable and has good battery life. I hit a 1675 Quadrant with it today so I am satisfied. Angry Birds plays very smooth as well.
2. Apples to oranges. The differences are too numerous to list.
3. Pretty much.
4. Just do a Nandroid backup.
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.

I think I've figured the install out, now I need to decide on a new kernel. Of these, which is compatible with CM6 Nightly, aside from the HTC ones?

Nobody can help the noob?
Changed the OP, which may be easier to answer without writing several paragraphs.
Only aosp kernals are compatible. HTC ones will not work. I'm running snap 7.6 Turbo, there is the toastcfh test kernel from CyanogenMod forums, and zendroid also.

Appreciate that. Any recs on the ones you mentioned?
Also, if I've recently flashed my ROM, do I still have to flash the ROM and Google Apps since I'm deleting all the data/formatting/clearing caches, or can I just copy my card back over to the phone or do I need to partition the card like with Turbo?
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.

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.
