So I'm going to flash the Trinity kernel to my Wind Mobile S3 and i'm wondering... what all do i have to do before and after? from what i understand before i just have to wipe cache and dalvik cache, then install zip... what about after it is installed and rebooted?
do i have to do anything else? if so, what, and how (if it's not self-explainitory)
and if this is in the wrong place, i'm sorry mods, i'm pretty new here, and i just thought this would be a good place to post because a lot of people in here seem to do kernel stuff...
thanks
yes it's a wrong place to post here in development section.. but for your question yes, for better result you need to wipe partition and cache then flash the kernel of your choice.

Its in the wrong place LOL! To answer your question...
1. Make sure the kernel you are downloading is for the correct rom (CM9/Stock)
2. Make a nandroid in recovery before flashing, its better to be safe than sorry.
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe davlik cache
5. Flash kernel
6. Reboot wait till you get to the lckscreen. Be patient it has to optimize system
7. If you want to OC download setcpu in the market, its free here for members you just have to search.
8. Test and run the whole day...there's alot of kernel's you decide which combo rom/kernel you like!
9. Enjoy/Profit :highfive:

So did it work? i want to flash a rom that has the trinity kernel and im worried... I'm with videotron which is essentially the same phone...
CM10 official
I see from your signature you are running CM10 Official..Where will I find that.
Great tips, how safe is it to OC with setcpu and at what speed?

You're going to want to wipe dalvik and cache (as you always should when Flashing something). Possibly even battery stats if you want to play it safe
Treat kernels just like you do roms I don't want you to be paranoid

Don't wipe data
Do wipe cache
I never wipe battery stats, but I suppose you could.

Exactly...
Just make sure to ONLY wipe cache and dalvik cache. This will ensure that the kernel is flashed correctly with no traces of the previous kernel. Again, like said previously, treat flashing kernels as you do flashing ROMs. It's easy, and if anything goes wrong (rarely ever happens, unless you use a kernel not designed for the EVO, LoL) then it can always be undone by reflashing
Good luck and enjoy! You'll be fine br0
For completeness....(? it's Christmas)
Due to some possible wipe (recovery) issues:
Wipe cache , twice.
Wipe Dalvick , twice.
IIRC
Thanks all for your help. I looked at a couple of different kernels, which one do yall think is the best mainly for the battery anyway?
SWYPED FROM MY EVO
I'm running SBC-net 4.2.2. And it runs great for me. Good battery and is smooth.
Do you have a link that I can download that kernel?

I highly highly doubt it would be usable, but you should post it.
Also, you should just be able to flash from kernel to kernel with a few steps.
Wipe cache (this is actually very important for flashing kernels)
Wipe dalvik cache (just in case, never hurts)
Flash Kernel
Reboot!
Sometimes, kernel devs include kernel specific files that will overwrite those of your ROM. If you start noticing funky behavior that wasn't there before it's likely that the files may conflict. At this point the best thing to do is reflash your ROM, then your desired kernel.
Hope that made sense
hmm... interesting
i do it when i flash new/different ROMs, but never though about cleaning the cache for Kernel updates
BRB, flashing kernel 1.8 again + wipe cache

i'm new to the whole flashing ROMs/kernels and what not scene. im interested in flashing the newest energy rom and i have seen a lot of people saying that the anthrax kernel is amazing with the energy rom. i know how to flash a ROM, I'm just not sure what to do about the kernel. so i was just wondering if somebody can give me a quick tutorial on how to flash anthrax's kernel with the energy rom.

You flash a kernel like a rom.
Wipe, Flash the rom, flash the kernel, reboot.
Should be good after that.
Make sure the kernel is for Sense if you are using sense or AOSP if you are using AOSP.
SetCPU will let you configure the kernel.
thanks for the quick response xnotta. i just want to make sure, i wipe everything, meaning dalvik, cache, and data, right??
On energy wipe ONLY dalvik cache mount data in recovery flash kernel unmount data reboot

If you are already running the rom(Energy) then you can just wipe Cache and Dalvik then flash the kernel(anthrax).
You only need to wipe everything if you are installing the rom(Energy) fresh.
Sorry for the confusion.

Like I posted in your other post for this, you always need to wipe the big 3 - data, cache and dalvik cache - prior to installing a custom ROM, unless the ROM's thread directs you otherwise.
I don't know whether it matters or not, but I always have the best luck flashing the kernel first, then using it's recovery to flash the ROM. I also clear cache and dalvik again after I flash the ROM just in case there was something in the zipfile so I have the cleanest startup possible.
Finally, with FXP113, I got an error on the phone module and had no service. In that case, I was able to get it to work by installing FXP112 following my normal procedure, reboot and activate on Verizon, and the installing FXP113 but not clear data, dust cache and dalvik.

good day...i currently rooted my sgh t989 uvlh1...now im trying to flash a cm10 rom (is the best jb rom currently available?) now this is my problem.
i tried looking on the cm10 thread and the instructions/comments include flashing a radio or changing a kernel...and i dont understand both of them and if i really have to do it...could someone please teach me how to flash it step by step(i'll be the one to find the files)here's what i'm planning
-wipe everything using cwm(cache dalvik)
-flash cm10 rom(which should i choose stable or nightly?)
-gapps(20121011)
done...
is that right?
do i have to change kernels?
or radio?

ok, here is a simple way that i live by. this is how i do it. when using non touch wiz roms like aokp, my personal favorite or cm10.
first make sure you are on a touch recovery. then start by backing up your current rom first. next do factory reset 3 times,wipe system 3 times and the same for cache and dalvik cache. if you if you have a certain radio you want to flash do that first. then still in recovery flash rom then google apps. wipe dalvik cache and reboot. don't touch anything for 10min. now reboot and let sit for 1min and set up phone... sounds like a lot but you get a clean install... by the way, i find it better to just use the kernel that comes with the rom. you can use the same method for touch wiz minus installing google apps..
this is what i started out with. do read the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754
i know he says that for aosp rom you don't have to wait the 5-10 mins, but i do it anyway just to be sure. then i reboot and wait an additional 5-10 mins.
oh and i'm on cm10 nightly, 12/1/2012 to be exact. it's super stable and smooth, no worries. just make sure you flash the right file (our phone is hercules) and gapps (20121011).

It's no use being a **** when the answer has already been provided. Besides, before I made that thread googling his question resulted in no clear answer. It's the reason I made it. To not only help people in our forum but anyone else googling the question.

follow every thing edshawn said just to be safe. You can always flash a diff. radio at a later time. Also dont flash a nightly if you dont want to encounter any bugs. Im currently on last sidekick's liquid smooth and its the fastest cm10 rom ive used, but thats just me everybodys phone reacts differently. Also I would recommend twrp recovery over CWM, but you can do that later as well.
Thanks!
Always make sure you read the first few posts for the devs directions
