Hello. Iam a nooby. Not that kind of nooby cause i have used CM stuff for years now.. iam a happy customer. :laugh: One reason I have to write this post is I need first ten points to write more in closed section Thanks xda for be so strict. By the way.. I hate your facebook status links
My real question is this: How to find FXP_ kernel version number in the zipped package? I want to compare my installed kernel and if there is a new kernel in the new FXP... how I know? I dont want to flashboot my CM everytime..

Hi everyone !
First of all I want to make all my apologies if my english is too bad..
So I followed with a great attention some threads about CyanogenMod and I was very sad each time it failed.. My galaxy Y is my second Android phone (but in reality it's the first because my beTouch e110 was ... "bad" ) so I have some questions about the ROM :
1) What is the real goal of a ROM ? Providing new themes and cool fonts ? Does it improves performance or does it comes with new fonctionnalities ?
2) I tried some ROM like Hybrid, Sense Aurora.. But after installing them on my phone, the french language (yes, I am ) wasn't available. Should I change CSC after installing a new ROM ?
3) After the disapointment of no french language, I flashed my phone with Odin with a stock ROM. Is the XEF CSC a good choice for me ?
4) Now a question a bit more technical (I study in computer sciences ).. Why a ROM like CyanogenMod need a custom Kernel ?
5) And I want to know how to really move app to my SD card, because it says they are in, but after multiple installation of ROM and the flash I lost some app.. ?
Up for question 4. Devs mention the need for custom kernels in order for cyanogenmod to work on our units but all of them never mentioned why. Enlighten us even if it is a technical matter. I have a fair linux background and have patched and compiled kernels in the past. What kernel configuration or module does cyanogemod require anyway?

cyanogenmod uses 'criminal' kernel (as far as i know) ..
......to run it cant run on stock kernel.....

Yes, but do you know what are the specifications of this kernel ?

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.

After trying my hand at installing a mod (cyanogenmod 10.2) I need to go a different direction and get a more stable rom. So I wanted to give cyanogenmod 10.1 a go. Unfortunately it fails on install. After reading through some forums I saw that I needed to install it after I load up stock fl26. But fl26 also failed on install. I'm going to prep for install with another rom but is there something basic I'm missing here?

Hey bud, Your thread the other day got closed (for asking what the best ROMs are), but let me give you some more pressing advice:
Do a lot of reading before doing anything else. It sounds like you might have jumped into this a bit too quick if you're having this many problems. I don't mean that in a bad way, not at all. None of us knew anything when we started... There is a lot to learn in terms of messing with what's inside our devices. If you can't get a ROM to flash right, I strongly suggest you stop - just set the thing down and read, before you brick it and have no more phone.
Every ROM has a Post #1 (the "OP") that has exact flashing instructions, and links to applicable downloads. Make time for that reading - the FAQ threads, the General threads, and the thread for the ROM you want to flash. Because you're on an older device, I promise you that all of the kinks have been ironed out or bugs are well-known (and not going to be fixed) and this is all available from reading. Okay? Good luck.

Install a stock GB27 one click rom. That should reset your phone, and let you install whatever custom rom you want.
I know right... reading....... like when you read a thread about "Best" Roms and it doesn't say best anywhere in the post. :laugh:
Thanks for the help Bud! :good:

If you would like... I can link you to a mobile Odin guide I put together for another member.. it's the easiest way to flash roms on this device( in my humble opinion )...
FYI... I sense that you might be a little upset with some of the posts...Rest assured... nobody is flaming you in this forum... These guys have tons of experience and just don't want you to brick you're device...
Also... this should have been asked in the noob friendly Q & A thread ( it's stickied at the top of the page )...no biggy, We are just trying to keep the Q & A section clean... for all of us to use...
Let me know if you want the link... and Welcome to XDA.. Epic 4g Touch forum...
Hey, so I've been using the same ROM for quite a while now [Blade Elite v1.1] ... about 8 months to be exact, and I haven't updated nothing since then... Not hboot, recovery, Android version [4.1 currently] or whatever ... :3
I'd like to update to a latest version no-sense light ROM with some the best battery life possible... can anyone help me out on which ROM should I go for? what do I need to update in order to do that?
Thanks in advance
You need a Hboot at least 1.31 or higher. With that you can install any custom rom out here. Which one ? That's a decision you have to make. We are not going to compare roms or tell you which is the best because it all comes down to personal preferences !
Also note that comparison threads are not allowed on xda

Actually knowing that my hboot is updated got me through it all.... Thanks a lot for the quick answer
And apologies, I didn't mean for anyone to break a law and didn't ask for comparisons, just recommendations ...
Was a heads up many people don't know that rule and recommendations will most likely end up in comparing
Cheers.
