Hello, I'm new to the custom kernel and ROMs. Been looking to install new ROM to my arc s with the loop device ability to install UBUNTU. which one should I pick ( doomkernel or CM7 or another one ).
Now - what is the difference between the stock and those two? Would I lose something and the most important thing - can I go back to the stock kernel and how exactly?
Now before ou ask me to google it or search your forum - I've been googling and searching the forum but can't find explicit answers to those 2 questions so I will be grateful for any explanation.
Thanks,
Romand
You get oc and more without losing anything.

Hey everyone,
I'm still fairly new to Android. I had an iPhone previously, which I jailbroke and was quite comfortable with doing that. Now Android has a whole new slew of options that I'm not quite sure I understand and/or am comfortable with.
My Evo is rooted with the most up-to-date OTA, so I've got that down and I'm comfortable with how all of that works. I've installed ClockworkMod and wanted to start flashing some custom ROMs and kernels... but I don't know how they work together.
So, on to the questions:
## Can you flash any kernel with any custom ROM?
## Does the order you flash them in matter?
## I have a recovery ROM in case anything goes wrong... but how do you recover the kernel if things go wrong?
Really just looking for some quick and dirty info on these topics.
Thanks!
Hi, I will like the same info as you. I flashed kings kernel #11 on my EVO and I noticed that my videos don't play as smooth as they did with the original HTC Kernel. So I too will like to know how to recover my original Kernel. I hope someone could help us. If I found anything, I'll let you know.
reported it to mods, so that it is moved to the right section, more help will be provided in the right section

Flash rom first, kernel second. Threads should specify if its for AOSP roms or Sense. What rom are you on? There are lots of kernel threads in the dev forums pick one you like and go! HTC kernels are there too if you search.
Hey guys,
New to Installing Custom Kernels/ROMS onto the Xperia Play but not new to flashing in general. So I do have a few questions.
As I have an Unlocked bootloader which I have of course unlocked I am looking for CWM and a Good ROM to use. So my questions are as follows
1. Where can I get hold of the latest and fully functional CWM for the Play ? I heard Doomlord has a Touch screen version ?
2. What ROM would you reccomend for performance but full functionality ? I am personally looking more so towards Doomlords work. I am looking for a ROM to tide me over until the Custom ICS Roms are at a more stable point. I would though want a ROM that does not force an Overclock, I currently want to stay at stock CPU.
I already have the latest Flashtool Oh and I have the R800i
I look forward to your guys response, I love the Play and love the Play section on XDA, Really active!
I think since you are so keen towards the ICS thingy...hence DarkForest ROM by KeiranFTW- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388166 will be suitable for you..(check for the screens on the 2nd page)
As for CWM for your unlocked bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390771 (though it says for locked bootloaders, but since its based on just flashing it, hence should suffice)
for rest of the tweaks & other modifications http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294129 thanks to Logseman
cheers!
Thanks I will take a look at them, I was keen also on Darklords ROM here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502
But I just need to find out if its a Pre OC ROM or if I set the OC later as I would prefer to flash a Stock CPU rom to avoid damaging my phone.
Just get SetCPU, then you can change the overclock yourself, i.e. return it to stock settings if a custom ROM has changed it

Hi, I like to know which kernels suit best for me.
important:
ClockworkMod Recovery in a recent version (at least 5.0.2.7)
nice to have:
ext4 support
additional govenors (such as smartass/smartass2)
I was interested in a DooMLord Kernel. Then I just saw a thread about a GB kernel. In a survey I read there's a doomlord kernel also for ICS. Can you provide me with a link?
the stock kernel with CWM I already tried and it has a slightly outdated CWM. So maybe someone could stab me in the right direction
The "development" section perhaps.

Hi guys I have just flashed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705334) however it is not the renovatePLUS version, how do I flash with the PLUS version, need it since it has mods and tweaks which I will need, auto-inverted rotating screen is driving me nuts!
FYI: I downloaded the plus zip but I dont know what to do with it, do I just extract into my phone? Because that did not work.
Also, I saw this guy, username(csec) with this signature (Phone: Renovated Endeavoru, F4, XM-Kernel #296 (Most fantastic combo in my entire experience with HOX)). I want to use have those thing stated, already have Renovate(will flash PLUS once I know how), and there is F4, anyone knows what that is? and finally XM-Kernel #296, which I believe is this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136731), can anyone please confirm is that is a similar one that I can use? Sorry for asking so many question, I finally decided to go deeper with flashing kernels and stuff and I require some professional advice, so please help! Thank you!

It doesnt seem to state on that thread that I have to do it through recovery. But thanks anyway!
For kernels I have one more question. Can I just use the kernel as provided? Of course checking that it is meant for my device 1st. Because there seems to be this confusing thing called repacking...

I RUINED my device before with kernels i didn't know how to use them and obviously i bricked my device so please dont try anything unless u gain experience
Repacking is like making peanut and jam sandwich its like making the kernel work with ur rom if u are using renovate u dont need to repack for XM kernels

If there are no Ramdisc tweaks in the ROM, you don't need to repack the kernel... Mostly kernel repacking isn't needed for Sense roms... So you just have to flash the boot.img from the kernel's zip and then flash the modules from recovery...
AOSP/AOKP Roms need kernel repack each and every time before flashing!

Sense roms these days are a lot so i suggest repacking as it will not do any harm!

Help once more!
Hi, so after researching a little bit more, I decided change my kernel to the XM kernel(original non-repacked), tried it for a few days, noticed that it response quite slowly compared to default kernel, things like slow display of lock screen upon power on, less smooth transition when. Could I have done it wrongly? Other than the slow response everything else seems fine, I noticed one of the features is S2W, I tried that on my buttons and it worked, however fast charge usb and usb mass storage isnt working, is there somewhere I can enable it or do you have an idea where I can find a guide for XM kernels that describes its features and functionality? Sorry for asking so many questions, thank you!
You have rather detailed instruction how to deal with fast charge and USB mass storage in XMister's thread (first one or two posts).
I suggest you install some of the kernel manageent applications:
- trickster MOD
- Set CPU
... There are many. Choose one that fits you (I am personally using Trickster).
There you will be able to play with your governors and scheduler, and thus achieve better performance or battery life. Or both. Check Q&A, there are few very educative threads about it.
You seem to be on a good way. Keep reading.

Hello!
I just received my wonderful HTC One V from Koodo, and I managed to unlock it's bootloader+ rooting it. From now on, I am completly lost.
My main objective is to overclock it for a better gaming experience. How can I overclock it? Do I need special kernels? Where can I take it? Are those kernels included in specific roms?
My second objective is to install Android 4.2 JB. So how do I install a rom? Can you recommend me a specific rom? Oh, and is it battery-hungry?
Feel free to post links, tutorials, instructions and any other useful tips.
Thank you very much everyone!

Yes you can use any kernel EXCEPT the stock , all custom kernel for one support overclocking , when u have such a kernel the next thing u have to do is use any app from play store to overclock it ..try CPU MASTER FREE..
The most stable and battery friendly ROM on 4.2 is shpongle ..you will find it in original development sections and its installed the same way as the other roms..nothing special just remember to flash the kernel specified in the post..just flash the rom via recovery after performing a full wipe..
Thank you soo much guys now I'm all set with RC9.5 FX+ Sense 5 Rom and TK Kernel ;D
Let's play with my new toy now!!
