I thought that I read somewhere that Caulk had built in some type of LOS checker with his new rom? I was running Vipers LOS checker but with Caulks Roms and the Rogue Kernel on EG31 didnt seem to have any LOS but I just had one, I think?? So when I flashed his new rom I didnt even bother to run Vipers mod.

I am pretty certain there are no checkers built into his Rom.

I tried the latest Savaged-Zen froyo kernel and the speed is excellent but I get random horizontal lines on the screen. Especially on anything that loads or refreshes like the notification bar or facebook loading icon.
Never really flashed a custom ROM or anything, the only thing I did was install Rom Manager and added a recovery. I just want to be able to boost up the speed safely and I read kernels are the best way.
That's called screen tearing, so you should change. I recommend the savaged-zen froyo kernel, or since you're on sense, the net-archy kernels have good reviews.
And you flash a kernel just like a rom > wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the kernel.
I used to have screen tearing all the time but on tiamat I got none.

I already tried the Savaged-zen and i tried a few of their older froyo builds. I just realized that since I never flashed any custom ROMS my phone is still sense based and these kernals are AOSP based, is that the reason?

Absolutely, I was just about to inform you of that. Those kernels are only for AOSP roms. If you stay on sense, you need to try a Sense kernel. I have great luck with Netarchy's or Ziggy's kernels. Good luck

Cool, that makes sense. Netarchy's seems to pop up a lot in my research so I'll give it a go. And thanks for the comment, haha.
*Update: so far so good, I'm seeing much better frame rate but not as good as I was experiencing with Savaged-Zen. I never really used a benchmark to get actual numbers I'm mostly going by eye. I'm actually considering trying out various ROM's just to be able to use Savaged-Zen. What I love about Android is that I can easily customize the scrub way through apps, trying out custom Roms, themes or if I'm feeling brave I can go in and edit anything myself by replacing files. The community is great so new things are always coming out and I'm never bored with my phone.
Who is running OMGB 1.1.1? I am thinking about switching kernels and wonder what is compatible with that ROM? Also, how risky is it to switch kernels. People keep telling me you can ruin your phone.
Thanks!

Are you currently using the rom and if so, what is wrong with the default kernel?

Rooting can ruin your phone. A bad flash can ruin your phone. The good thing about flashing kernels and I've flash a lot of them, you usually can go back into recovery and flash another one if your device doesn't play well with a particular one.
I am currently running CM7 and. Kernel 2.6.37.4 cm. Looking to switch today

I hear ya. I'm itching to flash it right now, but my wife and one of my sons are enroute to Orlando and I don't want to flash a rom that I'm uncertain of in case I need to contact them or vice-versa. I haven't had a "home phone" in years. We all have smartphones..lol
I went ahead and flashed this rom and then added my 3rd party apps and I must say that i am impressed. It is stable and everything appears to work as it should. I did notice a bug where when you add a pattern lock, the default lock screen no longer displays, not even after a reboot. I just finished making a nandroid backup of it and will definitely use this rom. This is shweeeet!
You can flash an AOSP kernel. The SBC kernels can ruin your phone. I am using tiamat nonsbc aosp kernel with this rom.
Thanks for the info guys! I ended up flashing OMGB rom and like it so far. Do I flash that kernel over the rom then? Do I just find the kernel in one of these threads or is it on ROM Manager?
Thanks
I dont have los unless i switch my kernel from stock but i like the custom kernels for speed and battery life etc..never tried any roms but i do want to try roms though the one i want like calkulin is an ek02
should i upgrade to ek02 if i dont have los? would that put me at risk for los?
also interested in this ^^

EK02 fixed LoS for a lot of people.
I can't speak for everyone, but I haven't had an issue since the update.

I will just wait for some nice El13 roms or kernels? sounds good right since its a newer thing
They are out my friend... Its not like you cant switch between kernels, roms and radios... If you are worried about messing your phone up leave it alone. Would hate to see you back in here asking about did I brick my phone... It all depends on what post you read which will shift you left or right IMHO....
DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!
well i went to calkulin : ) ..... : (
Hello everyone. It's been over a year since I rooted and flashed custom roms on my phone. So please excuse me for my question. So I rooted and installed Clockwork/TeamRogue with the help of ACS's youtube video. I see a lot of people on FE22, I am on EL29 and I am using The Blu Kuban's ICS rom. Is there is a difference having FE22 vs EL29?
Welcome back to flashing. First, a couple of things: As soon as you flashed the Blu Kuban your kernel was changed to the one that the ROM comes with. EL29 is the stock kernel that came with your phone (and is a Gingerbread kernel). I believe you are now using Calk's FD26 Repack kernel (an ICS kernel). Under 'About Phone' in your System settings it will tell you the kernel version you are using.
Unfortunately, EL29-FE22 are also numbers for modems. So you are probably still using the EL29 modem and the FD26 kernel. The Blu Kuban has an awesome ROM Updater in the System settings and contains all the different kernels and modems that you can use with the ROM. Just be sure to use safe flashing techniques as the E4GT is still very susceptible to being bricked.
And don't forget to follow the Blu Kuban development thread, there is a wealth of information in there.
Is it possible he's running the Blu Kuban GB ROM (hence the reference to EL29 unless he's talking modem) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449023 as opposed to the Blu Kuban ICS ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625535
The main difference between EL29 and FE22 is that one (EL29) is Gingerbread while the other (FE22) is ICS.
Read up big time before making the leap to avoid any nasty bricks.
thank you for your help
strange. I went to the development section and installed the ICS version and used the FD26. I will make sure to readup

Good idea and enjoy, it's a fantastic ROM.
So I decided to try Cyan 9 and followed the instruction including adding EL 26 as it says in the instructions but it still shows EL29. If I decide to go back to Blu Kuban can I just use rom updater and flash the FE22 modem?
som roms come with kernels some without but most roms dont come with modems they leave it up to the flasher to flash modem seperately. blue kuban makes it ez by making it all available within the rom updater options for reduced bricking risk.

All roms come with kernels. They wouldn't boot if they didn't. I think you meant to say custom recovery.

Hey all, i've been running through ROMs here going back and fourth trying to find the best one for me. And so far i love a couple of ROMS, but the only ROM where i get data speeds that are good is Snipers Lightweight ROM using EL29 modem and agats fl27 repack kernel. I want to be able to use this Kernel and modem on other ROMS (the blu kuban for instance), but it seems most of ROMs require a certain kernel. Is there anyway around this? so i can use whatever kernel i want on any ROM?

I don't think so. As you know, a kernel is like the base and the bridge between hardware( CPU,etc...) and apps. So if the rom isn't made for a specific kernel, the phone won't boot up
Yes you should be fine. The aroma installer included in Lightweight even has several different kernels to pick from, as they're all for ICS TouchWiz (like Blue Kuban ROM).
Now, if you're using a repack (like fi27), you won't have all the extra tweaking/over/underclocking options like you would from a custom source-built one. But if all you really care about is data speed then there should be no problem.
