Hi,
Could anyone please answer a question for me? Is the stock kernel for htc sense the same as the stock kernel for aokp roms?
I'm currently going between a sense and an aokp rom (can't decide which I prefer lol), both are on stock kernel, so I'm wondering whether I still need to flash the boot.img before I restore my nandroids?
Hope you know what I mean Thanks x
No, they've got different ramdisks if nothing else, so you'll need the appropriate boot.img from the backup you're restoring.
Thanks

Hi all:
I´ve been reading hundreds of post regarding roms and kernels and Im not sure if I can change the kernel to put for example unity v9 or 10 without changing sotck rom.
I want o OC and 2 way recording but I dont want to change rom.
Is this possible??
Thanks in advance.
No problems changing the kernel on a stock rooted ROM.
Just remember you're looking for a sense kernel, not an AOSP kernel.
Flashable from recovery.

I believe you can because i also own I9001 and since there's no proper custom rom for it when the kernel was available, people had flashed that to get init.d support but i'm no dev. If you have clockwork then you can try flashing it if you want...because i never heard of flashing a kernel alone but with the custom rom.
Thanks for the answers.
Now knowing that I can do it via clockwork.
What would be a good kernel?
I was thinking in Unity v9
Thank you
Its really down to personal preference, and how the kernel runs on your DHD.
Last time I was running sense I used Lees, but I don't know if he has call recording.
PS 4ext touch recovery is really nice.

Ok thanks jagdave.
Hehe and thanks for the suggestion.
Hey there, I'm still fairly new to the custom Android stuff and I had a question about ROMs that isn't too clear to me.
Let me start off by saying I have made a nandroid backup, and I have flashed ROMs before on my HTC One X, but I recently switched to the S III because I was unhappy with the < 200 MB of usable RAM.
I am currently looking into trying 2-3 ROMs, AOKP, TuchMi, and maybe CyanogenMod 10, mostly because I am unhappy with the stock battery life.
From what I have been able to gather, the kernels for AOKP and TouchWiz based ROMs are incompatible, and it is not recommended to mix them up.
Here are some of my basic questions:
1) TuchMi and AOKP come with kernels inide them, are they automatically installed when I flash the ROM?
1a) If they are not automatically installed, what happens if I mix up the ROM/kernel?
2) Does a nandroid backup also backup the Kernel?
stock kernels work great for me always

If they already come with kernals then they will be automatically installed when flashing them in CWM recovery.
On my previous phone nandroid backups did not back up the kernal but on the S3 it looks like it may be backing up the kernal as it does state that it is making a backup of the boot image. My old phone never did receive official cwm so maybe this was a feature they added later.
Remember when changing kernals to ALWAYS wipe cache/dalvik cache before using a new kernal.

Yes kernels usually come with aokp and cm 10. tuch uses stock. During nandroids I believe that the kernel is backed up. I have flashed different ROMs including aokp, and then applying ktoonsez kernel and then restoring back to stock rooted with nandroid. Mixing ROMs and kernels can get ugly... sometimes unsupported also. Just make sure you make nandroid backups.
Try aokp and then ktoonsez' kernel. Wicked combo.
Also, what carrier are you with?

I am with AT&T currently, I will try the AOKP -> ktoonsez kernel tomorrow . Part of me still wants to use TuchMi though for the battery life and I will miss some of the Sense apps... mostly the Phone app.
Ah OK. I am with ATT also. Let me know if you need any assistance. The aokp ROM and toonsez kernel should get very nice battery stats. Mine is doing pretty well.

Hey guys I want to make sure I'm safe when switching from rom to rom, and I am just confused about kernels. I understand that different kernels pertain to certain roms (AOSP, CM, TW, etc..), but what I don't understand is do all roms contain kernels? So will I always be safe switching from one rom to another, or do I need to make sure the roms come with the required kernel and how? So confused .
Thanks for the help.

AOSP has its own kernel and will most likely come with a kernel when you flash a AOSP ROM that goes for CM also. If you are just jumping from one TW to one TW rom you can just use the STOCK kernel. I know the JEDI ROM comes with its own SABER kernel and PERSEUS you have to flash yourself. Both these kernels are TW kernels so do not flash it to a AOSP kernel. This will result in a boot loop.
Thanks! Def appreciated. I was looking at Jelly beer and it said in the OP, make sure you have the correct recovery/kernel so I don't really know where you're supposed to get the CM kernel from. Ill just make sure to read carefully, and always ask first i guess.
Flashing PA 3.1 now, wish me luck!!!

haha yeaaa just read through everything. I have converted to TRWP recovery.
but PA 3.1 should be nice! I use alot of the samsung apps so I keep to the TW roms
I'm having great results with Vanilla RootBox and the SoapKernel
Hey and always just do a backup. That way doesn't matter what happens you can always restore.

Quick question if I wanted to install for example TripNDroid's kernel on a CM10.2 (4.3) ROM should I repack the kernel to get it to boot. I haven't tried a straight install yet, and the reason I ask this is the Kernel's don't explicitly state support for any AOSP version greater than 4.2.2. I've searched this but can't seem to find an answer.

I repacked XM's kernel for someone to use on cm10.2 and they reported all ok

Try both...if you have a backup you cannot really screw up. You can always restore and flash stock boot.img.
I would recommend a repack to accommodate possible/probable ramdisk changes between 4.2.2 and 4.3.
Lastly, the kernel DOES NOT officially support 4.3 so it may not work at all.
Thanks for the help to both of you I will try the repack if that fails I'll just restore the nandroid or attempt to reflash the CM10.3 boot.img
So I've been wanting to try out a custom kernel from a different htc one section and I heard they work for aosp but I'm guessing not with sense but it seems like our kernel is always the 3.4.10. How can you tell if a kernel will work? Thanks for your help and I apologize if this has been asked before.
