I'm going to be doing a quick test on stock rom, but I'm using cm7. If I do a nandroid backup, does it get the kernel too? Or will I have to flash kernel again before I restore?

No, because of how the play is partitioned, it doesn't.

I was just about to post this very question because I knew the Play is different from other phones in that way, and I had a sneaking suspicion that was the case. Thanks!

Are there any kernels available to use on the stock ROM? I would flash another ROM but then I wouldn't have working MMS since I'm flashed to Cricket

Why don't you just do apn backup and restore? You back up your stock apns and then any new ROM you use you would just delete those ones and restore your stock ones. I do that to all my 3.5 roms and that's how I get mms to work

No. I'm going to do that and flash it then report my results.
EDIT: Just did this. Wifi is still broken =/
Honestly don't know. I've used that kernel on a stock rom no problem. I would say maybe a bad download? Otherwise I got nothing.

It seem your phone can not flash new kernel. You must root the stock kernel before flash drell's #21
Flash this one first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133169, do not reboot, then flash #21
Check setting>about to sure you have new kernel.
I usually one click back to el29, install CWM, and then flash another ICS rom but it's very time consuming. Is there a faster and safe way?
What I did was nandroid my gingerbread system. Then I can flash whatever I want and restore gingerbread whenever I want to go back.

Restoring a GB nandroid on an ICS ROM won't cause the phone to brick?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
It can. I'd suggest just keeping chris41gs ICS aosp/tw kernels in SD card. That way you can just Odin his kernel (if you're not already using it) and flash whatever from there

so i got a question that ties into that statement. i am about to use the auto root tool to get cwm. i am currently on stock ics rooted. would i be able to flash whatever rom i choose without having to one click back to a GB Build?
(this used to be way easier on my OG Evo, lol)

Yes you would. Just install FF18-CWM-agat-src kernel. Of course make a backup first just in case you get into trouble but I have been doing it over and over with no issues... So far :laugh:
Awesome thats just what i Wanted to hear

Any stock kernel?

I'd just make a cwm backup of your stock rom. Then go back and fourth. Its what I do without any issues at all. I just have to clear my play store data as I have market problems after but that's it.

Yes I have a back up so I don't need to flash a stock kernel or will the back up will do the job

When you restore from the nandroid backup you'll get the kernel you had before. So you'll have the stock kernel again when you restore

okay, so If i make a nandroid backup I know what things it saves.
I just wanted to make sure, when it restores applications, does it restore the downloaded ones from the android store? like temple run and such?
ALSO when i perform a restore, Does it automatically flash the old rom with data or must I first flash the rom of the backup and then preform the restore?
THANKS
It restores your phone to the exact same way it was when you made the backup. All you have to do is reboot after restoring and it will be exactly the same as before the backup.

Since when does CWM not restore kernel? Lol. If it didn't restore the kernel, going from TW to AOSP (or vice versa) wouldn't boot

I am running OmniROM with franco kernel. Is there any way to revert to stock WITHOUT using a PC. No nandroid backup.
I want to reach the stock, rooted, unlocked and running twrp state. Any flashable zip that can do that? Or any other method?
