I was just wondering if it's advisable to use Kernel Manager to flash custom kernels to overclock and if so, which kernel is the most stable and suggested for use? If not, can someone redirect me to a overclocking guide? Thanks!
It all depends on which ROM you are using (sense based or aosp).
Depends on what rom you're running. I personally don't have a use for kernel manager as I just grab the zips and flash them in recovery. Kernel manager is a tool just like rom manager, both offer users friendly methods of flashing (kernels, roms) etc or as I would say (for the noobs lol). Id rather not use an app for something i am capable of doing myself in recovery. Not bashing it just saying I personally don't need it. What rom are you running?

I agree with ya on doing everything through recovery and grabbing your own zips.... but I remember when I first got my evo and rooted it, all this flashing, kernels, roms etc. was very intimidating (I'm a dopey chef and don't know tons about computers) and rom manager let me learn the ropes with out being scared I was going to turn my phone into a brick. I think rom manager and kernel manager (if that's what its called)are good for noobs. THEN..... when you get your feet wet and are confident with the whole thing.......GO XDA CRAZY!
I had no idea I could flash kernels through recovery too. But I'm on 2.3.3 (TMartinPPC EvoGingerSense v0.1).
Ahhhh, unless I missed something, I don't think any of the current Kernels play nice with the leaked update.

You are correct. No kernels yet for 2.3 sense but they do have some for 2.3 aosp. To flash a kernel in recovery just grab the zip place on sdcard like you would a rom, flash it, then wipe dalvik-cache, reboot and enjoy!

There's tons of 2.3 aosp roms out there. I use cm7 #39 with the tiamat 3.3.7 kernel or the savaged zen 2.0 kernel. Those are the main 2 kernels people run on 2.3 aosp. Savagez Zen also has their own aosp rom which includes more control of their SZ kernel.

So basically any 2.3 AOSP ROM can work with those two kernels? And those two kernels are the ones used for overclocking?

Correct! Cm7 has built in features that let you adjust your frequencies and governor settings; so does savagez zen. For the ones that don't just look for setcpu.

The built in CM7 Kernel will allow overclocking to 1113 also.
Ahhh I see. Thanks again guys!

From my knowlege a Kernel is what shares info between the operating system and cpu...its like the bridge between the two (correct me if im wrong guys, don't flame me lol)and to what kernel you should be using is all you're choice, every kernel has a different build...some for performance, some specific to a certain distro of linux...so do some research and pick the one which is recommended for the rom you're running.
Thanks for the info. What do you install first, the rom our the kernel?

Definitely decide what ROM you want to use first, then find out which kernels are supported. For example, I am on DamageControl 3.2.3 and running the DC Netarchy OC Kernel because it was tweaked specifically for the ROM.

Does it matter in which order you install the ROM and kernel though?

Most if not ALL ROMS include a kernel. So if you flash a different kernel, then flash the ROM, the different kernel you flashed will be lost. So in short; ROM then different kernel.
most of the roms contain a stock kernel. the custom kernels for most of the roms are actually forks from the GoDmOdE community kernel. most of the time netarchy and the others kernel devs do beta testing of their changes before informing me to pull them in to the mainline kernel. this takes all the bugs and repeated commits out of the mainline and works them out before they are pulled in.
Thank you.
Does flashing different roms break gps... my gps when navigating always says searching for gps... if i keep it on for a long time it might start to work on and off but go back
To searching for gps... i have been using lous redempyive evo rom and its bad ass. Ut gps still funky not workinv then working on and off... i asked him what he thought he said may e try going back to stock and start all over.... but was wondering if there was another way cause i really do not want to do that at all... any help is greatly appreciated thank you

What radio are you on - latest or the .9 or .7, and, are you using the kernel in Lou's ROM, or something other? If a different (non-stock) kernel, maybe try the stock one found in the Virtuous section or ROM manager. Radio is self-explanatory - there's a fine radio thread here on XDA.
Please post results/issues in the fix so others may benefit from your experience.
I would try something like Virtuous ROM and see if it works okay. His ROM is rock solid.

Agree w/ ejdavis' guidance - also check which version of the radio you are running.
The Virtuous ROM uses the stock kernel too.

Look for and follow the very good Radio thread here on XDA - following it as directed should not brick your device. The only way to know whether this solves your problem, or eliminates the radio from the list of issue candidates, is to flash it.
so i just rooted my epic using [MOD][One Click Root]ClockworkMod version 3.1.0.1[RFS & EXT4] this method...
i was just wondering is there only certain roms i can flash with this method or is this universial, coming from the evo and everthing was compatiable.. if this is true i was looking for a rom wiki but can't seem to find one so i am wondering was everyones suggestion for rom would be for this method...
Welcome and yes every ROM is compatible with this root method. Here are some good roms to try:
Simply ASOP (my current fav.)
SFR1.2 (flash rom, then kernel, then journaling on, reboot)
RandomRom (known for best battery life)
Revolt Rom
UrbanLegend
strictly battery life, go with RandomRom. most of the mods are included like hotspot and vibrate/silent. It is using an older version of genocide kernel but you can upgrade if you please..

It's outdated, thats why. Also, there was another thread exactly like this. In that thread there was some talk of baked snack...but the developer moved on to evo 3d. I'd go with Syndicate Rom Frozen or any ERA rom.
Does anyone have a link for a stock kernel which would be compatible with my set up (in sig)?
I want to try a stock rom to see if I can get sky go to work on my desire as it can't be used on a rooted device, others have had success by changing their kernel.
Thanks in advance.
As far as I know you are stuck with thalamus' kernel if you are running Oxygen rom.

I agree. He does come to me as somewhat arrogant but I got to admit the dude haz teh skillz.
Could I try a stock rom and kernel and then go back to my current set up or would I then be unrooted?
Well you can "try" and flash the kernel I am using I suppose... but as far as I know it will break your camera and probably some other stuff I don't know. Do a nandbackup just in case you want to be adventurous. You only wanna find out if Sky would work if you change kernels first right?

Yes that's right, it has to be a stock kernel as sky do a check on the kernel before the stream loads apparently.
Well if it's stock kernel that it requires, then you have to use the official Sense based rom and kernel. All sense roms here uses a custom kernel so you are out of luck. You can't use Sense kernel on AOSP roms anyway.
OK cheers
I will have to wait for techy people to hack the sky go app then.
Depending on how Sky works, you can try and flash one those sense based roms. Who knows, the custom kernel they have might work. I have the impression that they are all based on the original sense kernel anyway. Or just wait for someone to hack the app.

Kernel -2.6.35.14_r3-stable [email protected]#1
I use cm10 build 6, can I go ahead and pick a kernel to flash over the stock cm kernel?
Well the kernel you want must be compatible with the rom you are using and your device. For example if you are on CM10 you must flash kernels built for CM10/jelly bean. Otherwise you will get boot loops.
There might be some kernels for CM10 in the development section of Galaxy wonder.

If kernel is for your Custom ROM that you have, you obv can.

It's better to stay with the same Kernel, from my point of view, I guess if you shared with us why do you wanna change the Kernel, there might be a solution for your problem, a friend of mine Flashed a different kernel and it was supposed to be compatible, but still he had problems and he flashed everything back again.
I wanted to use other governors. Btw I flashed a new kernel and it seems fine as of now

Good for you, as long as everything is working smoothly, then good luck with the new Kernel:good:
is it really just limited by CM9/CM10? Like if I am using acro's cm9 RC6 and the kernel was released after RC7 was released, maybe some of the extra features in RC7 causes a slightly different coding for the kernel which of course may cause problems if you use it on RC6?
also i suppose there's no need for clearing data/cache, fixing permission etc when flashing kernel right?
sorry if I'm not supposed to ask questions in a question. I just feel this is relevant to the title and i feel that it is better when people can just read this post and learn more about kernels. The list of how-tos in the dev section has not much details on kernels

Nope no problem at all. You can even flash R7 kernel on every previous version of arco cm. as long it is for the same android version
No need to do that. But just to play everything save it is better to do wipe cache and dalvik no need to wipe data
