Noob and kernels - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I want to understand these better.
What are they?
When looking at the different ones what should I look for?
Any added risk when using one as apossed to using roms.?
Can I go back to a stock kernel by restoring a backup ?

Thank you. I was surprised that I could not find any of this stuff on these forum. Always good to understand stuff. One more question what is a good kernel for stock 4.0.2?

Still not OTA for it. The only way is to install a custom ROM based on it.

Tried that. Didn't like me. Dunno, must be doing something wrong. Lol

Stock ROM with overclock

Hey guys. I am just looking for completely stock ROM but with an overclocked GPU and CPU. Does anyone know if something exists like that? I have looked through the Dev section but a lot of ROMs are tweaked a fair bit. Thanks in advance

Just flash a custom kernel only. You don't need a rom for that.

I don't have the gnexus. But it is just personal preference by the features.

James Bond kernel by ogdobber is what you are looking for.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
Yes, use the kernel from Og dobber together with one of the 4.0.2 stock roms which are available here. I'm using this combination and it is working awesome.
But try first the 1.0.2 of ogdobber, because not every Gnex can handle the 1.01 or 1.0.

It won't work on stock because stock is on 4.0.2. OP, is there a reason why you won't use custom roms? You're changing the kernel, which will most likely alter your OTAs for future updates coming from Google. If you're going to mod, mod the whole way don't halfway it.

I like the pure google experience. Had issues in the past with FC and freezing etc with my old GS2 which left a sour taste in my mouth. I also get the feeling that tweaking the phone degrades its performance over time... could just be a placebo but it just feels dirty lol

Actually I'm in same boat as the OP. Just yakju'ed my SGN (maguro) to 4.2.1, and wanted to know which is the best kernel to use of o/cing the stock Google ROM.
Have had mixed feelings about custom ROMs, so I just want to speed up the stock Google experience

Sprint stock kernel

I apologize. I can't seem to find where to download the stock kernel for the sprint gnex. Using Franco's kernel and love it, but my batter life is suffering so I'd like to give the stock kernel another swing.
Thanks

You didn't make a nandroid of your stock set up?

I did, but I'd prefer not to restore to a previous state

Anyone have an idea?

If you can find the stock rom take out the boot.img place it a flashable and flash it.

Stock files for at&t galaxy s3 ICS

Anyone got the factory restore files flammable thru ODIN for this phone? Just wanted them incase something goes wrong.
Also does anyone know a good Rom\kernel setup to use for overclocking or better battery?
And if I'm on stock Rom but changed the kernel can I just go straight to flashing TuchMe_S3X?

You're better off asking this in the Q & A section. This is a bad area to post a question. :thumbup:

Ever tried searching the forum? There's even a sticky on the development thread with info on stock roms and any more

[Q] Kernel

So, I was digging around today and I kept ending back to a thread in the SKYROCKET side of the Galaxy S II forum. Are ALL kernels compatible or does the dev have to compile for both devices? (I did use google) (I did search forum)

Are the skyrocket kernels interchangeablewith 989 ROMs? Yes. As long as the kernel is made for the ROM. Like AOKP, CM9 and the like. Also the rotation .zip would be in order if using a skyrocketkernel

Have to flash the fix for auto rotation and if u want a beautiful Ui and use 7-4 paranodroid and skyrocket kernel over flash fix

Ahh, so it would be ok to use Instigator's kernel, but I would need to flash rotation fix, correct?
