I want to start off by saying thank you all for your help.
I have been doing some reading over the last month or so since I received my 2.2 update and have since rooted, removed bloat and am now trying to underclock to save battery. That being said... I have read about what others are recommending for a kernel for the Dinc and have a good idea of what i want.
My questions is How do I go about getting one? I have been doing some searches but all the info I am getting is help as to which one to get not how to get it. Once I get a kernel going I can then buy SetCPU and overclock/underclock right?
Sorry for the noob questions. Thank you all in advance for your help.
yes, you are correct. there are plenty of kernels for the incredible, but if you want to underclock and save battery, i recommend the bfs KingxKernel #5, best kernel ive tried yet
link
How do I get that kernel?
im guessing u are rooted and have installed clockwork recovery correct?
if so, you can just flash the kernel through there as if it were a rom, or if ur feelin kinda lazy, install it through rom manager

Just click on the link above to kingxkernel's thread, then there's a link to download each kernel to your sd card. Flash thru recovery.

Also I've heard that being an xda member you can get a free copy of set cpu but I don't know how also if you don't mind buying I would still buy just to support the developer

Sorry i was out of town for the weekend and just got back. yes i am rooted.
Alright so i did all of what you recommended... Now when i try to flash the kernel in reboot is says there is no file to be found. I can find the folder but when i go into the folder to flash the .zip it does not register. There are three folders in the kernel that i saved to my SD card.
I dont understand. What am i doing wrong?
Thank you for you responses. As always i really appreciate the help!

You aren't extracting the zip file are you? You just need to put it on the root of the sd card in the zip format, boot into recovery, select zip file, select the file, and it should install from there.

For CM6 and other AOSP roms, you can use kingxklick's AOSP kernels or koush's kernels.

Koush's kernels-

test1, test2- are the kernels
I'd recommend the Adrynalyne Custom Kernel (v2). I've tried Kings kernels and they caused my phone to feel sluggish and didn't seem to help my battery life at all. Adrynalyne's kernel is not sluggish and definitely improved my battery life. You can download it with Rom manager under the Virtuous category.

Can i use the Adrynalyne Kernal with a stcok type ROM? It Have a ROM but it is basically stock. (I only flashed to be Deodexed)
would love to try this Kernal
Yes. Adrynalyne Custom Kernel (v2) is for sense, so long as you use it on a sense ROM, which covers "stock type ROMs."
Now that im rooted, custom rom already installed, if i ever got tired of my current rom..would it be possible to install another one and get rid of the old one? If so, how would i be able to do this? Thanks

The easy way would be to use ROM manager, open rom manager, do "backup of current rom" first to back up this working rom in case you want to revert after flashing a new rom, next go to "download Rom" and choose a new rom to download (there are only currently three roms offered in rom manager CyanogenMod,Virtuous and CyanogenMod Nightlies but I dont recommend Nightlies for noobs could have lots of bugs) it will ask if you want to install it, remember to select wipe data/cache any time you switch roms, and let it install the rom.
Other wise you will have to download a rom install it to the root of your sd card, open ROM manager, select boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, select install zip from sd, select choose zip from sd, choose the rom zip you installed and apply, when done reboot and finish. Remeber in either case do a backup in rom manager first.
Thank you so much, do you happen to know where i can find a sense 2.2 rom??

Thats Virtuous, its what I use, use rom manager and download Virtuous 0.8.1 full rom and install.
Remember to wipe when changing roms, you don't need to wipe when applying updates.

Anytime you install a fresh rom, it starts fresh, you can use the app titanium backup to make a backup of your apps, and info and reinstall them onto diffrent roms. I would suggest to start reading the diffrent threads in this form and start learning how you use your new rooted phone and all the options you now have. Remember there are some roms and radios you dont want to intall on your phone, like the ones made for the desire z. Also might want to check out gfree for your phone. That will give you radio s-off and a true permroot, but you have to use adb to do this. It will also unlock the carrier and carrier id for the phone(so you can use other carrier sim cards). Here is another video on how to set up adb on your computer and the driver needed for your phone.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
Remember dont do anything unless your sure you understand the directions. Keep reading and searching, this is what is gonna help you understand diffrent aspects of modifying your phone, another good resource is youtube, look up videos on how to do diffrent things, have fun.
Alright thanks

Some more details would be spectacular, such as which apps you're trying to use that give you that error. Do any other root apps work? What method did you use to root? Do you have the 'super user' app installed on your phone? When you boot to the bootloader, does it show Ship S off or Ship S on? What method did you use to flash the rom? Did you do it manually in recovery, or did you use ROM Manager?
When I boot to recovery it shows s-on. I don't remember the exact app name but it was used to manage power and cpu usage to boost performance. I used unrevoked root method found on xda.

Okay, you should be S off, not S on. Since you have custom recovery installed, you need to download the unrevoked forever s off tool, and flash it in recovery. Then boot back to your bootloader, and be sure that you're S off. At that point, I'd boot back to recovery, do a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and flash calkulin's format all.zip), then reflash your rom. See if it works after that.
Much appreciated friend. To be continued.

Not a problem. And if you are on the newest version of clockwork recovery, you may not be able to flash that Calkulin's Format all.zip. You may need to flash King's format all zip instead, which I will attatch for you. Just remember, that after you flash either of the Format all.zip's, you need to flash a new ROM before you boot up. Once you flash the Format all.zip, everything geti's wiped, and you won't be able to boot up.
So instead of calkulins use kingsmod? Now.I don't wipe again one I use kingsmod do I?

Nevermind. Flash the format all.zip then flash rom.

That is correct. Don't try to boot after flashing format all, until you first flash a ROM. Let me know how you make out

Correct, they both do the same thing, except king's is edify compatible, which makes it gingerbread and clockwork 3.0+ friendly.
Also...kings black titanium is my first flashed rom. I like it...but I don't want to miss out on something better. I am sure I will try other roms ...but in the meantime...any suggestions for performance and stability roms. I've seen screenshots of overclocked phones....the response of my current rom is great...but I am into full customization. Any ideas from those who know?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
...sounds like you should try CM7
I recommend CM7. You just need to download and flash the latest gapps with it.
Someone wanna give the pros and cons of cm7? I have heard it plenty of times. Same type of thing right? I can flash cm7 straight from. Zip on my sd card?

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/ < gapps [google apps] you flash them in recovery after flashing a new gingerbread rom, its so that your market, gmail, ect installs and work. And CM7 offers a lot of customization, plenty of themes, ect. You can overclock your phone using setcpu or from settings > cyanogen mod settings > performance > cpu settings. The only real con is a few select apps don't have gingerbread support yet, like juice defender, I believe. And if you want to update your PRL, you have to flash a sense rom, update, flash back, but that's easy.
Okay so that zip file is the gapps for cm7 rom? Now is the cm7 fast and responsive and is it a gingerbread based rom? I've been doing this replying back and forth from my phone...havent done the research yet.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
PERFECT!!!
Okay now I am S-OFF. Thanks for the help guys...also...i was peeping in on mikifroyo 4.6, if i can get another lead on flashing roms...first data/factory reset, then wipe cache, then wipe dalvik, then i can flash new rom? Or do i need to flash a format all.zip first?
im running myns warm 2.2 i love sense i've been to cm7 and back a hundred times that with netarchy's 4.3.1 kernel is nice fast pretty decent battery life too but ya gotta give it day or so to see better life and lots of mods for myns too. id rather wait for gingerbread til someone other than cm to come out with one
Alright so long story short, just bought a 2 month old incredible off my buddy because he is a mactard and HAD to have an iphone.
The phone was rooted but I wanted to start from scratch so I formatted the sd card and performed a factory reset (within the phone, not thru recovery). In doing so, I no longer have access to the market - simply says "you don't have this application installed on your phone" when i try to open.
What is my best bet? Can I just flash a new rom and instal it in recovery? Is it possible to unroot at this point?
PS - I haven't set up the phone on the Verizon network yet so could this be the reason I can't access the market?
Any advice is much appreciated!!
sounds like you need to install google apps.
It would help if you said which rom you're on or if you're running stock but it does sound like flashing Google apps could fix your problem. Latest version is 5/3/11.

Pretty sure Google apps only need to be flashed with aosp roms, every sense rom I've flashed had the market and typical Google apps included.

Nevermind we're good!
I have been reading xda-developers forums since like a year ago when I got my beloved Xperia Play, but as adviced by many "recognized contributors" in their signatures, I always searched first instead of asking when a question popped up in my head. And fortunately I always found the answer.
I created my profile just like 6 months ago, but despite I have thanked a lot throgh the "thanks" button to people who posted something I got, or just contributed with something useful, that's not enough . I WANT TO THANK ALL XDA's DEVS!!!!!!!!! without you the android world would be very boring!!!!!!!
And now...... my questions:
1. I want to flash CosmicDan's TurboKernel 3.1 in order to dualboot a GB rom with an ICS or JB one. In this guide by fma965 is explained the whole process to follow, BUT the ins't explained how to deal with basebands (neither in the original kernel thread). Since full wipe/factory reset, flashing kernel or ROM doesn't affect the baseband, I wonder if the four kernel slots share the same baseband, and if not, how to install the corresponding baseband for each ROM separately. Also I wolud like you to reccomend me the best baseband for a GB-ICS or GB-JB combo (I say this cause I have always used the -36 with patched libs, fist the ones for ARC, then the Xperia Play ones from this thread thanks to romcio47, so I've never tried other baseband versions) If you can, leave a link to baseband's download or thread
2. I feel some preference for this rom DiXperia 2 'Everlasting' | Performance. Stability. Experience. because as the title says, you can really feel the performance and experience your games in a whole new level. But it is not multiboot aware, and the dev (DiKeJ) is retired. In this post CosmicDan explains how to make it Multoboot Aware, but I can avoid that by just flafhing it in the first/internal slot right???
3. I want you to share your experiences with multibooting, like configurations and tweaks you used (I mean supercharger, adreno drivers.....)
but mostly the following question: have you liked it? is it worth it in a long shot? I have multiboot Windows XP and Win 7 but I never use the 7, I just installed it to have a first impression and to learn how to work with it, but after 2 or 3 weeks, never touched it again so......
4. Nandroid backup: CosmicDan says that it's safe to restore a Turbo kernel backup if you also go back to previous kernel (the one before TK), as long as userdata partition is not too big for the old kernel. So, how do we common users know if the userdata is too big or not?
I have an R800a with unlocked bootloader by alejandrissimo and rooted MIUI Australia. Thanks in advance!!!!
1. Use the FTF with baseband from turbo kernel op the pheonix vendor.ftf
2. Yes you can install to first and the copy to other slots even if they are not multiboot aware.
3. i use this kernel all the time but rarely multiboot, works well though, no tweaks needed for me atleast
4. check to see if the userdata is above 380mb if it is then it will not be restorable,
any thing else?
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk 2
Just to confirm (before i mess something up), is it safe to put a non multiboot aware ROM like NXT on the first slot of this kernel and then having slimbean on the second slot?

thanks for the reply!!!! I just have the chance to login to xda until today cause the internet was cut due to repairs in the building where I live
During that time I tried the kernel and flashed DiXperia ROM and slimbean and both run smooth. Good wifi signal but always 2 bar signal on cellular network when I usually get 4, on both ROMs. Waiting for xDarKMario's v3
A final question: If I change to another kernel, maybe CM10 from FXP when an if its completely done, can I just leave 2/3/4 partitions on the sdcard and then transfer them to the pc if I mind to return to TurboKernel later? And if so, will TK recognize the former partitions safely instead of repartitioning and restoring all those nandroid backups?
Sorry for asking so much, but its better to be sure before screwin' up something

One more question
If I have to switch back to a non-multiboot kernel, like Lupus-v11 JB for example, do I have to flash stock firmware to set the partitions to stock? Or will flashing the new kernel automatically repartition it to stock sizes? Wedgess mentions that you need to wipe all the partitions... urm.. how exactly do I go about doing that
Sorry for the noob question... but just wanted to be sure.
Flash stock ftf and then flash the kernel. Then go and flash the New kernel also delete the turbo and twrp folders from your sd card and wipe data cache and dalvik cache in recovery of new kernel before flashing rom. That should have a clean fresh install so you don't have any problems. Also don't forget to back up your apps as well as make a nandroid backup just in case
