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

Hi, Currently running Sense(less) rEVOlution 2.0 with Kernel #4, is there a better kernel for better battery life? I like this combo very much but I think the battery could be better
Also looking for a true senseless, AOSP gingerbread rom with gapps included, or at least flashable, any suggestions?
Thanks
Try lous #8....closest thing to whst ur talkin about would b skyraider athena, that and the other 5 gingerbread roms in development

If you haven't tried chad's incredikernel:
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v.zip
then I suggest you give it a go.
Use it without setCPU, at least at first. It has one built in so you really don't need one, if you find it too sluggish or you think you can set it better then put it on after you gave the whole Kernel a good run without it.
I find this Kernel very fast and the best for battery life that I've tried.

Not many of those. Really CM7 is the only one I've found worthy of flashing.
Try the RC1
(If you go with AOSP then you will need a different kernel than listed above)
Thanks guys for the replies.
I will try #8 tonight, also on chad's Kernels I have read the same and will be trying that one as well. I'm really liking Senseless 2.0 with Launcher pro Plus
Yeah I understand that with a sense rom you have to have a sense Kernel and with AOSP rom an AOSP kernel. Question though. IF i did decide to try and AOSP ROM, that AOSP rom should/would come with a new Kernel right? Just don't flash Lou's stuff/sense kernel after that.. only flash another AOSP Kernel. Is that right?
I have the Droidx so this Kernel stuff is new to me lol.. still learning.

You got it Most/all ROMs for the Inc come with a kernel included. I personally like the one CM7 RC1 comes with, gives me great battery life
Ziggy's 12111 beta
If I flash to incredikernel from Lou's #4 I just need to wide delvic cache correct?
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.
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.
Sent from The App that Time Forgot.
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.
I am just wondering if I should update my kernel? I have been rooted since day one and I don't believe I have ever accepted any updates. I have also been running the MikG 2.1 rom for many months. The kernel I currently have is 4.54.651.1. I saw that I can download 4.67.651.3. I know there are also lots of others out there.
Will there be a big advantage to this, or should I just leave it alone. I am about to update to the MikG 3.1 rom in a few minutes is the reason I am looking.
Thanks.
Every rom you flash comes with a kernel, or it wouldn't boot. Just flash the mik rom you want, it will have what you need.
Now if you wanna ask about updating your radio, that's a whole different thing, and depending on how old your radio is, it is possible you may need to update your radio. But I'm guessing since you're on a relatively recent rom already, you won't have an issue with your current radio.
The only time I read that I HAD to update my radio to flash a particular rom was when the rom was built off a new OTA (going from froyo to GB), I believe. But that may have not even been true/necessary.

You shouldn't "need" to update kernel. Many kernels available do have some improvements over the stock in regards to lower voltage for better battery performance, ability to over clock, other performance tweaks as well as hdmi stuff. Maybe none of those features will interest you but the option is there, flash a custom kernel and if you don't like it, flash the stock kernel. User experiences vary, you are the best judge of performance.
I was unsure about flashing a kernel for a while, it can be a little intimidating but u won't regret upgrading your Kernel. I eventually moved onto building my own kernel.
If you looking for a good sense kernel I would recommend Lionfish. Freedom and Chop Suey also are good kernels.

Hi,
I'm running ARHD 7.2.2 on my HOX with the stock kernel included in the ROM and I was wondering what the advantages/disadvantages of running a custom kernel were. I've seen that franco and faux kernels are the most popular, how do these compare with each other and the stock kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799190
Simple answer is to test it yourself and experiment as everyone's usage will not be the same.
Stock, Franco, Faux all are good kernels. Personally stock kernel is the best due to being on a much newer source. But when the newer sources are out expect the custom kernels to be better.
