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.

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 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

I'd like to start using the custom Kernel's but TMK, the Telus variant has specific requirements.
I started looking through some of the Kernel threads to see if a Telus owner chimed in to either ask or confirm compatibility but found that very tedious.
Do you know which custom DHD kernel's work with both CM7 and Telus?
Thanks.
Since nightly CM7 #22 you havnt needed a kernel. Pretty much any kernel for the Inspire/dhd. Everything's been ironed out i believe
Always nandroid before attempting of course you can always go back
I'm coming from an N1.
There a need for a kernel isn't necessarily warranted but found for example iR's CM-specific kernels to have significant benefits over stock CM.

please bear with me as im pretty new to this.
so a few weeks ago, i rooted my g2 and installed sense ui (desire z rom)
now i tried to overclock with the kernel from the unlockr page titled "How To: Overclock your perm rooted/ s-off T-Mobile MyTouch 4G or T-Mobile G2."
the overclock works great except for one thing, the video player doesnt work. none of the videos whether i made them or from youtube will work.
id like to know if i did something wrong.
You have to do a lot of research on which rom and or kernel you get they all have things that dont work... Either videos, blutooth, number keys during calls.....

As shortlived said you can flash karnels and overclock your phone but some things will not work, especially video playback. Read some threads and you will get an idea. Also you can try Virtuous you can download the advance karnel(You can overclock to 1.5 ghz) and everything should work fine.

now that's figured out, has anyone successfully overclocked the g2 with sense or is it better to overclock with the stock rom?
Overclock kernal always can't support video playback well. Maybe you can try one by one to find a suitable

Okay it matters what sense your talking about. Gingerbread sense right now works with the stock sense karnel and sense 2.2 in the other hand can be overclocked ( Use Virtuous since you can download the advance karnel and overclock to 1.5 GHZ and like I said before everything should work.) As for stock Rom, I wouldn't waste my time since there is CM7 or CM6 is better. Also you can overclock both to to 1.5 ghz

Kernels are linked to the ROM being used, not to the hardware. Therefore, you need to be specific and tell us which ROM you used (as the reply above also mentioned). Different custom ROMs often have recommended kernels. Another thing, Froyo kernels are not the same as Gingerbread kernels. Plus, the kernels for Sense based ROMs are different from the vanilla (non-Sense) flavored. The kernel you mentioned appears to be for the stock G2 ROM (non-Sense). That is probably the main reason why things aren't working right.
If you are on Virtuous, then flash one of the Virtuous kernels. Virtuous comes with a 1 GHz overclock, no kernel flashing required. But since you've flashed another kernel, you should be able to flash the Standard kernel to get back to it). Or you can flash the "Advanced" Virtuous kernel for more OC options.

If you are on a stock Sense Froyo ROM, the Godspeed kernel works great.

If you are on some other custom Sense ROM, read the thread for that ROM, to see what kernels are recommended.
Or if you want to get real crazy you can flash the 1.8ghz kernel just dont expect everything to work.

I am currently running kingdom stock sense 3.0 and my ? Is does anyone know of any good kernels to go with this ROM? This will be my first kernel I look into installing so I'm still gathering info before I actually do it so any info is greatly appreciated.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
There aren't any kernels that will work with that rom aside from the stock one that comes with it.
To further explain as far as I understand it:
Since the sense 3.0 roms are based on leaked versions of gingerbread, we do not have access to the full source required to customize the kernel. Older Froyo kernels are not compatible, so we have to use the stock one that came with the leak. Be patient however, since we are supposed to be getting the official gingerbread OTA "soon" (current rumor is by the end of the month), and HTC has launched a developer's site, that should provide even more resources in the near future.
Awesome thanks for the info

Thanks, i am currently running Synergy Nightlies (6/13). Everything seems alright, battery is a little questionable but not horrible, but am interested to see what kind of improvements i can make to it.
