Hi all,
Has anyone tried the new bananacakes kernel 0.4 based on the official kernel source?
I tried installing it but my phone randomly resets every now and then. I've gone back to a Nandroid backup for now but I'd really like to use the new kernel.
Can someone who has successfully updated their InsertCoin ROM with the new kernel post some tips?
Thanks.
TBH, if you have problems with a kernel or any other file you flash or install, you're better off not using it anyway. Just "suffer" with what you've got.
You could always try a different ROM with a kernel (if compatible) or try a different kernel with the existing ROM.
Have you tried reflashing/installing the ROM and kernel from new after full wipe? Sometimes you can get issues with a file and undoing then re-flashing/installing can sort this most of the time (providing the file is stable). Are there any instability notes with the ROM/kernel? If so you may want to wait until stable versions are posted.
I updated the kernel without doing a full wipe, didn't want to lose all my settings.
Oh well, I'll do a full wipe and give it a try.
Thanks.

well i am a little lost... i tried to update the kernel to the newest version of savaged zen. But got stuck on the white screen, so i went back and wiped both catches again, then i got to the boot animation and now thats looping.. okay so i made a backup before starting but now after wiping everything and restoring the backup is boot looping too. Any suggestions?
Try another kernel. I am using the BCblend kernel from november, it's awesome and very stable. Once you get it booted, go into your advanced wifi settings and set your sleep policy to never.
well... my backup boot loops too... wouldnt the backup have the old kernel?
It's possible your phone doesn't like that kernel either, mine didn't. How long were you running it before flashing the new kernel? I would try at least a couple more kernels and if you still can't get it booted then wipe and start over. What version of MIUI are you running?
In my opinion...if you have a good working kernel do not change it. From what ive seen every custom rom is based off a stock rom that comes with a kernel. Usually only custom kernels that match the rom version work well. So it could be the rom and the kernel dont work well together. One thing is nobody seems to list which kernel version is from which rom. So its hard to tell. Also I think your pri version will mess with compatability also. Basically newest rom versions should work with newest kernels. But if your on an older rom...the older kernels will probably work better. And usually kernels come out (it seems) before rom versions. Like new miui kernel supports 4g, but the rom does not support it yet. Also nandroid? backups should have the kernel also. Not sure bout miui backup. But wiping and installing it fresh usually works well. If not you know the deal..wipe everything..then flash the rom..and start over So.....find a good one...keep it=no issues

Just a full wipe, and flash RCMIX from recovery that will install it's own kernel.
i believe you come from Samsung or any other device where you need to flash kernel first and then flashing rom.
HTC is different, the rom itself contain the kernel. Just flash the rom, it contains the kernel.
Try out the ROM first, and then if you want to further optimize your overclocking, you can try other kernels. (usually the built in rom will work just fine)
Personally I recommend Jkoljo's utility to do that
If you do find a kernel you like and you flash another ROM you will have to re-flash the kernel again.
This is because, as previously stated, ROMs will install their own Kernel.

I'm using the stock Gingerbread "Leak" rom version 4.12.651.1 that was leaked recently and I played around with it at first. Took several pictures and videos and enjoyed getting back to having Sense on my phone.
I used Kernel Manager Lite to download and install the Netarchy Toastmod-cfs-havs-more-sbc kernel and at now everytime I open up the camera it shows a white screen and I can't take a picture or video anymore.
Is there a why to uninstall or undo this kernel without having to reflash my Evo? I'd like to go back to just the stock kernel i guess. I even tried to use the Kernal Manager Lite to download and install a different Netarchy Toastmod kernel but it wouldn't install it over a previous kernel and when I clicked on the kernel I already have installed it won't give me an option to uninstall it...
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
Find the stock kernel for that ROM and flash in recovery after wiping cache and dalvik cache.I will try to find stock kernel for that ROM.
Yeah there's no way to undo once u flash a kernel.....may I make a suggestions for ya foe the future.....Ive been doing this for a while......flash the ROM and make a backup once yur all setup...this way u can tinker with the rom and kernels and themes and what not.......and if those tweaks don't work for ya......u got a backup of a fully stock rom......

Thanks guys for the awesome advice!
Reverepats, it's funny you said that because that's the first thing that I thought about after this happened and I'm still kicking myself for not backing it up before flashing the kernel LOL It'll be a lesson learned I guess
Ianmb, that would be AWESOME if someone had this. I'll keep looking for this too but if I have to I guess my only recourse would be to wipe it all and reflash all over again... /sigh
There is a post for a working kernel for that ROM on the second page if the ROM is the stock 4.xxx. Stock kernel 15 I think, can't upload file from my phone?
ianmb, thanks for looking but I can't find any stock kernel #15 out there. not even google can help me =/
So it's possible to reflash a kernel over an already installed kernel? If i find the stock kernel how do I go about installing it? Via recovery?
Forgive me if I'm wrong...but if you just reflashed the rom without wiping, I believe it would install the stock kernel that came with the rom

Yes you can flash a new kernel over an installed kernel...just wipe cache and dalvik prior to flashing

So, there is Haus's thread which provides download links to the ROM, Kernel and Radios.
I am currently running Salvage Mod and a Tiamat kernel.
If I flash the 2.3 OTA ROM while still running the Tiamat kernel, will I run into issues?

No because after you flash you will no longer be running the Tiamat kernel you will be running the new stock HTC kernel. Flashing the ROM flashes the kernel as well.

Oh...
I was under the impression (based off the links provided in the other thread) that the ROM and kernel needed to be flashed separately.
Thanks for clarifying!!

Generally no I flashed it on my EVO and didn't flash any thing else. You might want to go back and take another look I will as well but that generally not the case they come with the kernel.
To flash back to sense you don't have to do anything special. You don't have to nandroid back to sense or anything like that. The only thing you have to do is clear user data, cache, and dalvik cache then flash. You don't need to restore anything first. I saw your other post. Also I'm fairly positive that the ROM has the kernel but if you want to be safe download the kernel as well and just stick it on your storage card just in case.
Remember clearing user data will wipe all of your apps and data.
The kernel is a modified one just incase you have the brightness bug still I think.
When I flashed the new mikg v1.0 i know I still did but I flashed that kernel and it fixed it but I never flashed one of the new stock ROMs cause of the 1.0 sense on it.

Hi i just wanted to know the easiest way to install a new rom on my defy. I have cm7 currently installed. Let me get this straight everytime you want to install a new rom you have to use rsd lite you cant just install zip from sd card through recovery? seems like a long process not really worth going through just to test a few roms? is this right or is there an easier way? thanks
If the base OS required is the same (meaning the new ROM works on the same kernel) then you can simply switch ROM's via Custom Recovery (CWM), but you have to wipe data and cache to avoid bootloops or other unexpected errors. If anything goes wrong and you mess up the bootmenu or the CWM module then you must flash the SBF again. I've successfully switched between CM7 and MIUI without flashing again the Froyo CEE.
Thanks that clears up a little bit, but how do i know if a rom uses the same kernel?

You welcome! Generally the ROM dev's mentions which base ROM should be used, if not you always can ask or read others comments, if any.
Ok cool thanks im with it now. Do u know which rom cm7 rc 1 is based on?

If I'm not wrong the latest nightly builds are based on Froyo CEE or SEA. If you install RC1v2 or one nightly with BOOTXXX on it then it will upgrade also your kernel so you don't have to worry. See more details on CM7 topic.
