[Q] Can I Flash a Kernel without Erasing everything? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to install Incredikernel without erasing all my data, is that possible? Also would incredikernel 2.6.38.8 and the newest Pure Speed Rom work well?

Flashing kernels does not erase data. So you are safe in that department.
As for the performance of the suggested kernel I do not know

Ok thank you very much.

Nope. Pure Speed is Sense, the newest incredikernel is AOSP.

AFAIK there are no 2.3 sense kernals? Correct me someone if im wrong.
You are looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD.

you are totally correct. they cant maker gingersense kernels until the source code is released, most likely with the official OTA update

Which in your opinion is the best ASOP GB Rom

I know not every rom/kernel will play the same on everyone's phone, but I am just trying to get an idea. So what do you guys think is the best ASOP Gb rom, and what kernel for it. I should mention that I am worried more about battery life then anything, so please keep that in mind.

Stable or nightlys ?
I've found nightlies to be as stable as the "stable" builds but I'd check out 7.0.2.1 if you're new to CM.

Does that build have the mms issue ?
I have never had MMS issues with any CM build. The stable ones should be all good to go anyway.
CM7 w/ Tiamat Kernel using smartass governor and if you wanna go even further grab viperboy's undervolting scripts
I've never had an issue with MMS. Pretty smooth sailing overall.

i thought the sysfs interface for vdd_levels was setup, but it doesn't look like it is. This means that the under/overvolt scripts from -viperboy- will not work on 4.0.0.

When updating to newer cm7 nighties, do I have to do a full wipe? Or can I just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

just wipe cache and dalvik cache
I wiped cache and dalvik cache and then flashed the zip, and it still showed I was on 66. I was trying to flash 67.
I'm running salvage mod for about a week now with incredikernel and its been great. I prefer it to cm7 personally

[Q] Best aosp kernel?

What kernel is best for cm7? I'm currently on stock cm7 kernel, I just want a fast and stable kernel for everyday use.

For aosp roms I would personally recommend EViollets latest ManU test kernel 2.0.2
Don't let the fact it is a test kernel put you off, it's very stable, very quick, and good battery life.
Find it here...

(bottom of the second post).
Hope it helps.
How about tiamat and vork?
I prefer Tiamat's. I don't know, it just works better for me compared to ManU. To each his own.
ManU works great. Best for battery for me.
Kudos on using the saying correctly btw. It is "to each his own" not "each to his own" which really annoys me for some reason
How to flash the zip? Wipe dalvik and flash?

Kernels are packaged in flashable zip. So yeah flash it. Do nandbackup as usual. You don't need to wipe unless someone more knowledgeable here says otherwise.

you can use kernel cleanup script, you can fine it in the xda form "ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_v2_by_lippol94.zip",
flash this first then flash the new kernel zip.
Reboot into recovery.
Wipe dalvik cache.
Flash new kernel.
Reboot.
Done
ManU has always been a great kernel for me, Tiamat constantly rebooted my phone.
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Personally, ManU would be the kernel of choice.
Have yet to be disappointed

I've always liked the thalamus kernel and a mod 8 version I'm currently using. It works great with Redux 2 and oxygen

Indeed. Won't work with redux 1.2, cm, gingervillain, Miui or dgb though. Different camera drivers you see. So depends on the Rom
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
I tried several kernels (including stock, tiamat, thalamus etc) but I will have to concur - ManU-HAVS kernel has been great so far and I've been using it for a couple of months now. It's very stable and very battery efficient.

ROM choice? (I like Sense)

I'm new to the Inc2 dev scene but am very familir with ROM's in general. I just unlocked my Inc2 using HTC's method posted today.
I like Sense but want OC and general ROM optimizations. Any Recommendations? I downloaded the Sabotage ROM and hopefully that's what I'm after until CM9 is in at least beta.

Well, sabotage is based on the stock ROM. If you're looking for higher sense versions, my personal recommendation is mikrunny.

Carbonite fusion deux is a themed version of the stock 2.3.4/2.1 Rom. It's one of my favs. It's smooth!
MikRunny 1.01 is a killer sense 3.5 Rom. The tweaks are awesome! It's probably my favorite sense roms. A lot of people hold this Rom in high regards. The Mik team puts out good stuff.

Currently installing Milk. Stuck at HTC white screen at the moment. Is a kernel included? I want to slightly OC and undervolt for battery life.
OC yes... UV I'm not sure. I OC to 1100 on mine and let er buck. The battery life is much better than stock, so I didn't mess with it to much.

Are you rooted? Or just unlocked bootloader?

Rooted. I was just running Sabotage until mik was suggested.
Did you do a full wipe? How long have you waited?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Full wipe. Waited 20 mins on the HTC screen and pulled the battery and restored. Gonna download again and retry.
please let us know what the turnout is...
No luck. Back running sabotage. The WiFi is broken though...

Something's not right with my phone, obviously. I can't get mik to flash and wifi shows "error," on sabotage. Suggestions?
You're not s-off, that's your problems, that's whhy the mik Rom didn't work cause from what I gather u have to be s off to run anything other than stock kernels... Search the development section for the hboot downgrade tool then use revolutionary and u should be good to go man

i just installed MikRunny 1.0.1 and i am very, very happy with it. it's actually my first flash. i was content with my stock ROM, but was looking for that something extra. MikRunny is very fast and smooth, and i have zero issues or bugs thus far. it has my recommendation, as it it still feels stock, but that something extra is apparent, just what i was looking for. five thumbs up!

He wouldn't be able to have perm root without having s-off. And if he didn't have perm root then he couldn't flash a rom like sabotage. That wasn't his problem.
Depending on which EXT version the rom is running he'll need the superwipe zip that newt made. It makes sure that the correct partitions are wiped. Clockwork only wipes the default partitions.
EDIT: if he's still S-On he's always going to have problems in which case Jeremy is right. but it's more than just the kernel

Wrong. You can unlock without being s-off. S-off means security off. That means its not secured against bad radio flashes or something other than stock kernels. HTC unlocked but it still has security.

Ok so liberated is a gingerbread sense based rom so your kernel options are pretty limited. Other than the gingerting kernel i believe there is only one othe by wildstang, but it is basicly the stock kerlel.

[Q] Question about kernel

All devs please help, I have a question. This question is about the kernel. Can you change the kernel of a ROM without changing ROMs.
Thank you for your help.
Not a dev, but yes. Download your kernel of choice and flash in recovery after wiping dalvik and cache.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. Just make sure you flash a Sense kernel on a Sense ROM, and a AOSP kernel on a AOSP ROM.

Yes you can and like Fin said,make sure to read the whole op before flashing the kernel,theres alot more to it than just flashing a kernel and even though it says its for AOKP or JB,make sure its made for your rom and alot of devs add different governors and voltage regulators to their kernels,make sure to look at that also,so you can get the best battery life,but at the same time you might want speed,theres alot of things to look for and concider before using a OC kernel,the main thing,follow close directions and if your not sure about something,ask first before bricking your phone.
