Kernel Downgrading Question.

I'm using King's #11 kernel with Fresh's latest. My question is if I flash to Cyanogen 6.1 (when it's released) does the kernel follow to that ROM? I don't want to flash another ROM and run into problems.
Sent while sitting on the toilet.

most roms include there own kernel which will over write any existing kernel you have. CM 6.1 I am positive will have a kernel package with it.
It is safe to assume you wont have any issues

Also ... be sure to do a nand back up before flashing the new rom. That will preserve,, not only your rom, but your kernel as well ... just in case you want to return to it.

When Flashing a ROM, kernel needed?

Since this morning, this will be my first flash, do you have to use a KERNEL when flashing? For example. if I go with(most likely) the Syndicate Rom(I see that the twilight kernel) is included. Can I use a different ROM if I want? Basically, does all ROMS have Kernels that come with it? THANKS!

Yeah,ROMs will come with kernels almost always... They can be switched,but beware,Twilight has root built-in,so SyndicateROM and my ROM dont have the files needed to support root on an un-rooted kernel.

[Q] new roms

I have been off the scene for awhile so much changes so quick. I have rooted my phone with unrevoked last year and am on jiminy v cricket rom. My phone has been working good. I found out about hdmwin mirror and it did not work so that brought me here. I am currently still on android 2.2 and rooted and want to try some new roms like cyna 7 and nitelies. here are my questions
1. do i need to re root phone to newer version or is unrevoked still alright
2. what roms work for 2.2 and get hdmi mirror for hdmwin
3. same thing as question 2 for kernals.
4. any addtional info
I read quite a few threads and got confused..
thanks for you help.

Shouldn't need to re-root. Why are you holding off on running a 2.3 ROM?

I am not sure if the new roms matched up with android 2.2. might be missing some info on this I read but a little confused on the 2.2 to 2.3 and so forth on which roms work for each one.

You don't need to upgrade to official 2.3. I never did. The 2.3 ROMS are not gonan give you the great battery life that Froyo ROMS had, but they have a TON more to them now. No SBC Kernels for Sense, either.

You in a good state right now. Go to the link in my URL. It will explain everything about cm7 and you need to flash amon RA too which is in there

Kernels: Chopsuey 9.2.7 and Freedom .9 are the major ones, if you are sticking with Sense.
Kernels are the major part. I would suggest MikG, or if you are feeling adventurous, either MikRunny or Hybrid (in Jaredthegreat's thread FEARMEde). I suggest mounting data in recovery before flashing any kernel. Under "Mounts" option in recovery.
Maybe you need to update to AmonRa 2.3, still the best
AOSP-wise, either MIUI or Deck's, paired with Tiamat 4.1 kernel SBC.

[Q] Is it possible to CHANGE KERNEL on stock htc rom 2.3.5 rooted by nitro

Hi all:
I´ve been reading hundreds of post regarding roms and kernels and Im not sure if I can change the kernel to put for example unity v9 or 10 without changing sotck rom.
I want o OC and 2 way recording but I dont want to change rom.
Is this possible??
Thanks in advance.

No problems changing the kernel on a stock rooted ROM.
Just remember you're looking for a sense kernel, not an AOSP kernel.
Flashable from recovery.

I believe you can because i also own I9001 and since there's no proper custom rom for it when the kernel was available, people had flashed that to get init.d support but i'm no dev. If you have clockwork then you can try flashing it if you want...because i never heard of flashing a kernel alone but with the custom rom.

Thanks for the answers.
Now knowing that I can do it via clockwork.
What would be a good kernel?
I was thinking in Unity v9
Thank you

Its really down to personal preference, and how the kernel runs on your DHD.
Last time I was running sense I used Lees, but I don't know if he has call recording.
PS 4ext touch recovery is really nice.

Ok thanks jagdave.
Hehe and thanks for the suggestion.

CM10 Download Question

I am currently on Calkulin's E4GT.2.ROM.V1.6.
I want to run CM10 alpha2.3: Android 4.1.1.
I noticed on the download instructions that it says 'Assuming you are on a kernel that has a safe recovery.".
I just have a simple question, can I download and flash CM10 on top of my current Calkulin build, or should I download a 'safe' kernel and then flash CM10.
I'm trying to be very careful here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Calkulin stopped developing his ROM before kernel source was released and the emmc bug was patched up, so yes you need to use a safe kernel... el 26+CWM is the safest way to go to jellybean i believe.

As Pyrotoast said, using the EL26 would be the best route to go. If you are using the kernel that came with Calk's ROM, you are likely unsafe. Agat's kernel, which is compatible with Calk's ROM should also be a safe alternative.
