After trying most of the kernels/ROMs Ive found im happiest with stock and Supercharger.
I want to install a recovery but not change my kernel so I can install a couple of zips, which is the best to flash?
Look here.
Thanks, that worked great.

What should I do when I want to flash a ROM that requires the new CWM3, I prefer using 2.5.0.5 personally and was wondering if theres something I can do, or have to updat recovery to flash the ROM
Honestly though, the 3.* series is almost as good as 2.5.* The only issue I've had were some wiping issues with 3.0.0.5 but it's getting better. Why go back when it's better to move forward?

There's only a few "edge case" situations when a ROM would require CWM3, and in those cases there's not much you can do to get it to work on CWM2, short of hacking CWM2 with a new kernel and system tools.
That said, you should upgrade to 3.0.0.8 for many, many reasons. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970032 for those reasons and tips on upgrading.
i could help you setup dsixda's kitchen, it will give you options for roms like converting to cwm3, zipalign,signing, etc..
Thanks everyone, I jumped ship to 3.0.0.8. Appreciate everyone's help and input!
A few questions though
1) I rock SkyRaider3.5 still, will this install with this recovery on a fresh install since the ROM was built pre CWM3. AND if not how can I do a fresh install on these ROMs until they are updated, is their a way to make it CWM3 compatible or no maybe I'm way off?
2) I had skyraider running, updated CMW from 2 to 3, THEN made a backup. this should work fine right?
Thanks guys!
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

This may be a stupid question, but it's one I've never seen a definative answer for. When installing a new ROM and Kernel, which should be installed first, or does it not matter, and should you reboot recovery between installations, or just install one over the other?
If the ROM includes the kernel I personally install the ROM w/ kernel then reboot. After it reboots I then go back and install the alternate kernel. Might not be necessary but has always worked for me. Hope this helps.
I also just flash the rom then flash the kernel. No rebooting. I've never had a problem.
You will be fine to do rom then kernel no need for reboot

Thanks guys.
So I have just rooted my evo 4g and I have no idea what rom to install, or even kernel. Pretty new to rooting androids. I have been told to get Rom Manager, what are your views on this app? Is it easy, and reliable? Thanks for all and any help.
MikG. Go for it. Stick with the stock kernel until a super stable Sbc one drops.
As for ROM manager, I find it best to flash things on your own. If you haven't, flash amon ra recovery. Then flash all.your ROM, mods, and kernels through recovery. I am not saying ROM manager is a bad tool because peeps use it and apparently it works, but I prefer manual flashing and have find it more consistent that way.

Hi guys! Since I am a noob I haven't flashed a custom ROM before I wanna ask you do I need to change my kernel in order to put the amazing Hashcode's JB ROM. I already have a root privileges and TWRP installed. What are the steps then... There is hardly any info about the installation process in the ROM's topic. And how to install google apps - through the TWRP or? Thanks in advance. Waiting for your answers...
ROMS always have the kernel included. Everything is installed from recovery. Just wipe partitions, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.
Thanks man, I really appreciate. Will try!
What saved said....the kernel is included In all ROMS.
When life gives you tech....Make use of it.
