hello ppl,
i'm running cyanogen 6.1. heres the problem i'm trying to run a new kernel
i'm into trying out a kingx kernel but kinda lost on how and what to use there are 2 diffrent versions and not to sure on how to install.
Page i was looking at showed some amazing quad scores with out overclocking
looked very inticing!
any help or direction would be great thx everyone
Flashing it is very simple, you can do this with Rom Manager just choose the Install Rom from zip option the navigate to the kernel and select it. It'll boot you into recovery and do it's thing and restart. You can also simply boot into recovery go to install zip from sd card (might be in advanced cant remember exactly) and then navigate to the kernel select it, itll do it's thing then you will have to reboot system. As far as what kernel to use is up to you. Some are only sense roms, others are for sensless roms, ASOP roms, ect. I use Chad's incredikernal, it's the sh!t!

So i just did the 3 step root and im at the clockwork mod recovery screen
There is different stuff to choose and i have no clue what to select?
Can someone please direct me to what to do next this is my first android phone and i have no idea how to load a rom or what i should be doing next
thanks in advance
Well are you hoping to flash a custom ROM? If so, you'll need to download the ROM and copy it to the root of your SD card. Then when you boot to recovery, choose the options to wipe data, wipe cache, and then install a zip from SD. If you want to back up your phone, choose the Nandroid option.
You got pretty far without knowing how to complete your journey.
so if i click nandroid that will back up what my phone is set at now?
what is a good custom rom to use ?
I would like to have wifi tether but do not have 4g and probly wouldnt use it very often, i read something that there was a stock rooted rom? I also do not want to lose my camera?
Start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_ROMs
Then just read up on the dev pages/threads for the popular ROMs. I use Fresh 1.0.1 with the netarchy 3.7.3c Fresh-compatible kernel (haven't switched to the new one that just came out today). Camera works great, wifi tether app is built-in. If you want that, download both (just search here), put them on your SD card, reboot to recovery, and flash the ROM, then the kernel. You don't have to flash a new kernel or even radio if you don't want to, but everything is installed the same. Usually reading a couple of pages for each ROM will tell you if there are an problems. Other options are the stock rooted ROM, DamageControl, Baked snack, or there are a couple of new ones for Froyo as well, but they have some features left out (like 4G, wifi, MMS . . . depends on the ROM).
Nandroid (or, inside Android, ROM Manager) will make a system image for you, saving everything exactly as it is. To restore, boot to recovery and choose the correct options for that. Should be pretty self-explanatory.
Always wipe data and cache before flashing, and it's a good idea to search Google for Cyanogen's recommendations for recalibrating your battery (it's on his wiki). Just don't flash a stock, non-rooted ROM or any OTA updates that Sprint tries to push on you. Always get something that the devs here say is safe for rooted phones.
Hope that clears some things up for you.
Hey folks.
Read in XDA, in many threads, that in the premium version of Rom manager you are able to download and flash a new kernel.
Apparently you go into Rom manger settings, enable "developer mode" then where you would usually download Cyanogen roms, you should also be able to download kernels for it.
My problem is this; I have the premium version of Rom Manager, I bought it about 2 weeks ago, I can go into settings but I don't have the option to enable "developer mode" just an enable "advanced mode"? I'm presuming they are the same but even after a restart it doesn't give me any options to download any kernels from anywhere?
I've emailed the dev but had no response in over a week so can anyone else help me?
Thanks in advance.

Why dont you just search for the Kernal you want, copy it to the root of your sd card ... at this stage you could use rom manager if you really want to to enter into recovery, select install zip from sd, select the kernal you downloaded and your sorted!!
There is really no reason to feel so bound to Rom Manager(although it may be useful at first) as you can do everything yourself and with more controll over your device.
Cheers man. That method would suite me best. Have you any tips on where I can get the kernels from outside of Rom manager?
Will they just come as a zip file ready to be flashed?

Search here on xda, if you want cynogen specific kernals and advise on which kernals give the best performance, battery life etc i would suggest you have a look at the cynogen thread and ask around abit in there if anything isnt certain.
Yes they come as zip files already
I might be doing it wrong...I'm not an expert with this particular device, but I have managed to root and install custom Roms on an Augen Gentouch, a Nook Color, and a Samsung Moment before I got my G2.
I love the G2, and it took me a while to get up to speed on the lingo for this particular device...but I'm sorta getting it.
Last night I went to work in earnest to root and flash my phone with a custom ROM. Once I found the gfree tutorial and learned what s-off was and all that good stuff, I finally managed to achieve permaroot. Cool.
So I grab Clockwork Rom Manager, which I hear can really make my life easy...unfortunately I had no luck flashing any custom ROMs from there at all. I downloaded each one from the app, rebooted into recovery (yes, it was the most current version), and tried to flash a CM7 nightly. Ended up in an endless boot animation loop.
So I decide maybe I'm pushing my luck w/ Gingerbread as a first custom ROM...so I go in and try the CM6.1 ROM I also had in the downloads folder for Rom Manager. Different logo, another loop. Thinking I'd semi-bricked my device, I start diving in some more. Hey cool...I can use HBoot to flash a stock image back. I do so, and I have a blank, working device. Ok, back to square one.
So yeah...re-root with a clean phone, install Rom Manager, download and flash CM6 and again with the boot loops. :-/
So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Am I supposed to have to navigate to the .zip file when flashing? I mean, when I got to recovery and it didn't start flashing, I assumed I needed to choose and load the ROM of my choice from the clockworkmod/downloads/ folder, but maybe I'm doing it wrong? In any case, I'd love to be able to run one of these snazzy custom ROMs, but for now I'm just gonna have to be happy with permaroot and the Bacon Bits .zip and the kernel that comes with that. Overclocking is nice...I'm eager to try Gingerbread though.
Any thoughts?
I was tring to follow what you have done but got a little confused , do you have a custom recovery flashed? ie. CWM recovery 2.5.1.3. If yes, are you wiping /data and /cache before flashing the custom rom in recovery?
How to flash the rom manually:
Install custom Rom to the root of sd card (and gapps.zip for CM roms)
Boot into recovery
Make a back up of your current rom
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
go into Advance setting
wipe dalvik cache
return to main menu in recovery
select " install zip from sd card"
select "choose zip from sdcard"
select the rom you want to flash from sdcard
and flash it
if flashing CM Rom you also must flash the gapps .zip
go back to choose zip from sdcard
select "gapps.zip"
flash it
go back to main menu in recovery
select "rebooot system now"
Should boot into the custom Rom you flashed.
If you want to flash Gingerbread roms you need to flash CWM recovery 3.0.0.5, do not mistake this with Rom Manager v3.0.0.7.
Yah u probibly used clockwork 2.1.5 for gingerbread/cm7 Clockwork 3 is stricktly for ginger
Sent from my Toaster
Ah, ok...that makes more sense (all the stuff that needs to be cleared first, etc...). As far as recovery, it looks like I have 3.0.0.0. how do I get 3.0.0.5? I had to do a little hack mentioned in another thread to get 3.0.0.0 on there...do I need to find and rename the .zip for CWR and have ROM Manager flash it? Or is there an official way to do it?
I think you have to flash CWM3.0.0.5 with fastboot.
read the first post in this CM7 thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916796
Thanks for the help guys! I started fresh, flashed back to stock, rooted with gfree, and installed CM6.1.1. I am an absolute convert. Cyanogen is utterly brilliant!
I've since installed a custom kernel, OC'd to 1.4Ghz (scaling on demand), flashed Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5, eng hboot, and a new radio. I think I've got my head wrapped around this phone now...and I LOVE IT! I'm really tempted to try CM7, but I'm coming off a phone with some real issues (Samsung Moment), and I'm trying to relax and enjoy a stable build for now...but yeah...holy crap is CM awesome! Thanks for the help...XDA is really a great community!
Hi guys. Thinking of installing the Leedroid ROM on my phone. Currently have Android Revolution HD and as you might know a few hours ago I went through some troubleshooting that had me praying to God Almighty because I'm a bit of a noob and I got really worried. Lol
Anyway, I know how to flash ROM's and Radios but how do I flash kernels and ROM "Extras"?
It was flashing an "Extra" that got me in the problem into the mess in the first place so I just wanted to confirm how to do it properly. Also, is flashing the kernel as simple as flashing a ROM? ie:
-Boot into CWM
-Nandroid Backup
-Wipe All
-Install new ROM
-Make sure it all works
-Back into CWM
-Install kernel zip from SD card
?
Thanks very much guys.
When I installed leedroid I installed rom then straight after the kernal without even rebooting. Worked fine for me.
I'll give it a shot later. But still how do I flash extras? Like a Sense 3.0 lockscreen for Leedroid?
Put it on your ssd and open it up in a file explorer (think leedroid has astro) and just run it and it will install.
If that doesn't work for an extra then boot into CMW and install it via zip, but if I recall correctly that won't work for the lock screen and has to be done via opening it up in a file explorer.
If the addon or kernel you've downloaded is a zip file, the easiest way to be sure it's flashable in CWM is to open it up in 7zip, WinRar, etc. and see what's inside. If there is a folder called "META-INF" then you know it can be flashed by CWM.
Most zips are CWM flashable, but some won't be, especially fonts, bootanimations or splash screens. There are usually instructions in the threads for these, though.
Kernels are often built in to the ROM zip, but if you want to change your kernel I recommend jkoljo's tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357
I'd also suggest doing a nandroid backup after flashing the ROM and making sure it all works, before flashing anything else, especially with some of the addons that are still in development. It just gives you a bit more security if you need to roll back.
hello,
can someone please provide the procedure to install Virtuous Quattro on desire HD or a link to it ? is there a need to install any specific Radio /kernel? my HD is on default Radio, but custom MIUI ROM
How to:
Hi as you have a custom rom already it makes it simple as you are already rooted.
1 - Download the ROM and place it on the root of your microSD - Link for the Virtuos Quattro thread
2 - Also Download the Kernel to correct WIFI issues - Link and place it on the root of your microSD
3 - Power down your device and enter on recovery mode by holding volume down and power button at the same time. As soon as it prompt press volume up in 5 sec.
4 - Before flashing the ROM you will have to, for safety, make a backup of your existing ROM. You will find the option in the Recoverymode;
5 - After the backup do a FULL WIPE and it is very important to do in all data, cache and Dalvik (found in advanced options);
6 - Now install zip from MicroSD and look for the ROM.
7 - After installing the rom reboot the system - After rebooting power down into recovery mode again.
8 - Install the Kernel you download following the same procedure of item 6;
9 -Once again Reboot and enjoy.
I am not sure but I would try to avoid using any kind of app and data backup. Start from screch (I did it and had absolutely no problem).

Turner!
hi Turner,
thanks for the instructions,
apart from installation of the fix for the wifi, is it needed to install any other kernel for this ROM to work? If so, at what stage the kernel (not the wifi fix) should be installed ? also, is it again like step 6 for the installation of the kernel?
As far as I am concerned you wouldn't need any kernel prior for the rom.. I came from stock to android revolution to cm 7.1 and then virtuous. I didn't install any specific kernel prior to flashing virtuos rom and it worked great.
Try flashing and then comeback here telling us the results.
A quick question: did you flash any kernel before the miui rom you have?
i haven't flashed any kernel or radio before, but have been flashing different ROMs. was bit confused when i read somewhere that for virtuous ROM you need to flash a kernel. Anyway, thanks for your feedback. Let me try as per the steps mentioned by you and see the results..
User30 if you're like me and uncounter a little problem with the Wifi not working or the sound not working either, here's a little trick;
1. go get the .zip here : dev-host.org/k8rsgpxf5o2y/lordmodUEv8.8-ICS-BFS-b7.zip
It's lord kernel, really nice and work fine.
2. Put it on your SD card, *don't extract it*
3. you'll need to clear the cache when you're in the clockwork on ace hack.
4. Install the .zip using the same way that you install your ROMs
if it didn't work here's the modification
1. get the .zip of the Kernel and the one of the ROM
2. Put them on the SD card
3. Make a FULL wipe and be sure to Wipe the cache too
4. Install the ROM.
5. Install the Kernel
6. Everything should work perfectly
I had some problem with some Kernel, no idea why. The one I just gave the link to is working perfectly and didn't had any problem with it. p.S if working with Virtuous Quattro, install the RC1 for now. There is a bug on the wifi on the RC2 and I think they are currently working on it.
Sorry for my bad english btw.
Radio update utility is present in ARHD 6.3.1 thread....hope this will help you to update the radio...i updated with it without any issues..

Hello
1-Why is the picture quality of the Contact, is down?
2-No setting For Gallery ... Why?
Are you speaking about the Virtuous RC1 or RC2. Since it's a RC version and not the complet version it's normal that some stuff ain't working or are bugging.
But as we speak there's more likely some people of the Virtuous working on the rom itself so I guess some of those will be fixed. If you want to keep information about the dev go in the thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428047 you'll see all the update you need to follow
