Rooted stock ROM + custom kernel?

I am rooting my 2.2 phone tonight and all I want to do is get rid of the damn 30fps cap, remove bloatware and keep everything else pretty much stock. Is it possible to load a custom kernel when using a stock rom or do I need to use a custom rom as well? I really like how sense integrates facebook into the contacts and don't want to lose that.
Also, any kernel/rom recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I have an 003 evo with a Novatek screen.

Most custom kernels work with any ROM, as long as they are for the same build! I put emphasis on this because if you use the wrong ROM/Kernel/Radio combo, you could brick your phone. So do so very carefully. Only use a kernel/radio if it is built for a specific build number.

So I need to find a kernel that is for the 3.26.651.6 build that I want to install? Do you know which kernel will work?

I've had good luck with netarchy's kernels(currently using v4.18). You can find them in the dev section. Using a stock ROM here.

i just flashed this today, so far i'm pretty impressed and liking it, especially since i'm also using Netarchy's HTC OTA froyo final build, both work perfect together so far, i've seen my fps so far bounce to 47fps, lol, sweet.

Thanks for the input guys. I used netarchy's kernel with the rooted 2.2 rom that got installed during the 2.2 root process. It works great and looks awesome, it's so smooth.

New To rooting and all
Hello Everyone;
I have a Droid X running stock ROM version 2.2 I have rooted to remove bloatware but have not done much else. I am interested in using setcpu but do not want to do so unless I can monitor CPU temp. I am wondering where to find the kernel for this, what is it called, and how do I install it step-by-step.
Sorry if this has already been answered but I have been searching for quite some time and can not seem to find the answer.
Thanks For the help.

[Q] Why is this ROM crashing on me?

Hello everyone.
I just have one small question regarding the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054250
Anyway, I LOVE rmk's ROMs. I'm an avid user of Virtuous.
When I found out about the HTC Desire Z Gingerbread ROM leak, I picked up rmk's slightly tweaked version and overall, I was thoroughly impressed.
When I found out about the T-Mobile G2 ROM leak, I went to rmk's thread and picked up the ROM. But after I was done flashing it, when I was about to go through the standard Google activation process, I was bombarded with several force close notices that kept me from proceeding with the startup, among them this kept popping up.
"Sorry, process com.android.phone is not responding"
Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this?
Before, I was using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, if that is of any help.
Do I need to come from a Sense ROM or does it make no difference if I'm coming from an AOSP ROM?

Maybe because you have a DZ not a G2?
Have you tried reflashing and maybe fix permissions?

It sounds like you need to win and flash the rom agian. I recommended using amazinglarrys superior when moving from one rom to another. And I would give this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076786version of the tmous gb rom a go it has had a bit more work done to, and includes an oc kernel and its gets rid of a load the tmobile bloat. I have been using it on my dz since it was released and have no problems what so ever.

Did you not wipe before switching roms???

I flashed my Virtuous 1.0.2 backup, wiped, then flashed the ROM from rmk40's thread.
It's getting along just fine.

[Q] Wildfire Calling Problem

Hi all,
I know this is my first post but the only reason I felt the need to do it is because I have run out of options to fix my Wildfire. I have scoured many forums to find a solution from the CyanogenMod forums through android to xda forums to no avail.
I am currently running the newly released CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 and I'm experiencing the same problem that I had since upgrading to the 7.1 RC1. Basically the phone works normally after flashing a ROM but after a few weeks of usage I attempt to call someone and there is no sound on either side of the call. If I then leave the call and try to play any music it does not work and neither do the basic android sounds. Basically no sound at all. Now I have tried rebooting (I get back the sounds but as soon as I want to call someone the same thing occurs), pulling the battery and all the usual processes. I read somewhere that flashing the ROM again fixes it and that is true but the same thing occurs after a few weeks of usage, rendering my phone useless. Even flashing earlier backups does not work. So I am wondering if anyone has experienced something like this or if anyone could have an answer and solution to my problem.
Here is a detailed list of what I am currently running:
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
Radio: 3.35.20.10
Hboot: 6.01.1002
S-OFF
Customisations: V6 SuperCharger Update 9 Beta 6.3, 3G TurboCharger Installer Update 3 test 11, Kick Ass Kernelizer Installer Update 3 test5.
Thanks for any help.
Edit: I forgot to mention I also have the Custom MTD Partitions for the Wildfire.

Could be hardware related, have you tried stock?

[Q] Unknown notification with Miui Rom

Hi all,
I know this isnt necessarily a desire or miui rom specific problem but ive had this on my desire and i thought i might ask here.
I had this issue before on a miui XJ data2sd rom, that time i downloaded a standard miui rom from miuiandroid.com, wiped data and cache and flashed the second rom and now i have the same issue again.
the issue is an unknown notification, looks like a star and as seen in the notification area, two ads showed up in quick succession.
anyone have any advice on what is causing these? the apps ive installed recently arent really ominous so im at a loss as to what is causing this.
any advise is greatly appreciated.
Bob

Why don't you both write a list of all the apps you've installed, so can rule out which one it is and then uninstall it?

[Q] GPS Issues - Trying to root cause

First let me get this out there that yes I searched the forums and did find information on how some people were getting GPS issues and some recommended solutions/fixes from other users. However I think my issue is somewhat different and I am trying to get an understanding of it. (please if you do see that a similar issue has posted elsewhere that I missed, I apologize in advance and ask you to point me to that thread).
Currently I am on JellyBean747 by (Drewgaren) ROM based on Sprint leaked JB (L710VPBLJ7). This is the only ROM where I get my GPS working. I have tried swapping ROMs to other leaks, Official releases, AOKP, CM10 with no luck. Tried changing the kernels with Ktoonsez's Stock kernel but still no luck.
I have a nandroid backup of stock+root ROM which I used to get root. Even restoring to that ROM doesn't fix the GPS.
I have also tried turning GPS on before opening maps, used GPS test app and another GPS fix app to setup servers to North America etc. Still no luck on other roms. GPS doesn't even start.
JellyBean747 by (Drewgaren) is the only ROM where I get the GPS working properly (or should I say normally?).
Does anyone have any idea why is that? and what is different in Sprint based rom that might be interfering with GPS files/libs etc.
Any suggestions, pointers, comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

gps fix
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995347
follow all of the steps exactly.. gps now works on all roms. if you have more problems.. reffer back to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995347 worked for me :good:

I tried those steps on AOKP with no luck. Since you are suggesting to try it again, I will but this time on LK3 based ROM to see if it works. Can you please share which ROM you were using and having problem with GPS and then were able to fix the GPS using these steps? Thanks for help.

I went back to stock and no GPS. Followed all steps with no luck. Like i said, my hardware is working fine but there is something in Drewgarens rom that is causing GPS to not work with any other roms. Please suggest another tip. Currently i am on AOKP and GPS is gone.
