EL29-FE22

Hello everyone. It's been over a year since I rooted and flashed custom roms on my phone. So please excuse me for my question. So I rooted and installed Clockwork/TeamRogue with the help of ACS's youtube video. I see a lot of people on FE22, I am on EL29 and I am using The Blu Kuban's ICS rom. Is there is a difference having FE22 vs EL29?

Welcome back to flashing. First, a couple of things: As soon as you flashed the Blu Kuban your kernel was changed to the one that the ROM comes with. EL29 is the stock kernel that came with your phone (and is a Gingerbread kernel). I believe you are now using Calk's FD26 Repack kernel (an ICS kernel). Under 'About Phone' in your System settings it will tell you the kernel version you are using.
Unfortunately, EL29-FE22 are also numbers for modems. So you are probably still using the EL29 modem and the FD26 kernel. The Blu Kuban has an awesome ROM Updater in the System settings and contains all the different kernels and modems that you can use with the ROM. Just be sure to use safe flashing techniques as the E4GT is still very susceptible to being bricked.
And don't forget to follow the Blu Kuban development thread, there is a wealth of information in there.

Is it possible he's running the Blu Kuban GB ROM (hence the reference to EL29 unless he's talking modem) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449023 as opposed to the Blu Kuban ICS ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625535
The main difference between EL29 and FE22 is that one (EL29) is Gingerbread while the other (FE22) is ICS.
Read up big time before making the leap to avoid any nasty bricks.

thank you for your help

strange. I went to the development section and installed the ICS version and used the FD26. I will make sure to readup

Good idea and enjoy, it's a fantastic ROM.

So I decided to try Cyan 9 and followed the instruction including adding EL 26 as it says in the instructions but it still shows EL29. If I decide to go back to Blu Kuban can I just use rom updater and flash the FE22 modem?

som roms come with kernels some without but most roms dont come with modems they leave it up to the flasher to flash modem seperately. blue kuban makes it ez by making it all available within the rom updater options for reduced bricking risk.

All roms come with kernels. They wouldn't boot if they didn't. I think you meant to say custom recovery.

[Q] Different TW-ICS Kernels - Benefits

Hello everyone. I have a question about all of those new kernels that are popping up rapidly in our community for ICS. I'm a pretty advanced phone user and I've been around the community for awhile so I know what a kernel is and things like that.
But anyways, I've been using EL26 fastboot stock CWM and EL29 stock CWM kernels before that to flash anything from ICS using Mobile Odin. Lately I've seen a ton of new kernels pop up and I'm wondering about their benefits.
Agat63's Repacked Kernels
Team Win Recovery Project Kernels
ReactiveDisorder's Kernels
I believe all of them are repacked with Recovery (I haven't tested them yet so I may be wrong) and they're all TW-based.
Could anyone explain what makes each of their kernels different and the benefits they offer? Do they bypass the emmc lockup or not? Which one is the most safe? I don't see how any of them could be drastically different because they aren't custom kernels since we don't have the ICS source yet.

Well for one thing, Agat's most recent repacks have some mileage on them with regards to being safe for flashing roms and wipes.

TWRP recovery/kernels are also known safe. There is a CM9 and TWiz version. I would stay from RADs repacked kernels.

Agat's and TWRP (for GB, ICS and CM9) both have code in place to basically prevent the edify scripts that were causing the EMMC bricks to even start. They are both safe for flashing.
ReActiveDisorder kernels blocked the wipe data option that was the primary source of the bricking. But it has been discontinued.
There is a safe CWM repacked kernel for CM9 and there is supposedly one on the works for AOKP.
For the most part what you are seeing are just stock kernels packed with a custom recovery. The really awesome kernels will be rolling out right as source hits.

Ca1ne's Classic SBC Kernel and Smurfed Out

I was trying to post to Ca1ne's thread and kept getting that stupid bulletin about not having permission...
I couldn't find an answer to my questions anywhere and since I am a semi-noob at Android Dev I don't know if there will be any conflicts. Better safe than sorry is my thinking. My ROM is stock, Sense, S-On, rooted with RA Recovery. I have already flashed Ca1ne's Classic Kernel.
Question 1:
Can I use the SmurfedOut Script with Ca1ne's Classic Kernel?
Question 2:
After flashing Ca1ne's Classic Kernel can I flash his UnderWorld Kernel on top of it?
Part2: If I can flash Underworld Kernel on top of Ca1ne's Classic Kernel can I used SmurfedOut on that as well?
TIA to anyone who answers!

Yes,yes,and yes. Just remember to wipe ur caches before u flash the kernels

FYI - you has permission issues posting to the Dev's thread because you arent allowed to post there until you have 10 posts in the QA section. Probably so people cant sign up, spam the Dev's and then disappear.

Yea if you meant to keep both kernels, then no. Only one will stay, which is the one you last flashed. You can flash smurfed out also.

[RESOLVED] Ca1ne's Classic SBC Kernel and Smurfed Out
Well that was quickly resolved. I've already pressed the thank button to everyone because everything was important info. I love XDA!

How do i use a rom with any kernel?

Hey all, i've been running through ROMs here going back and fourth trying to find the best one for me. And so far i love a couple of ROMS, but the only ROM where i get data speeds that are good is Snipers Lightweight ROM using EL29 modem and agats fl27 repack kernel. I want to be able to use this Kernel and modem on other ROMS (the blu kuban for instance), but it seems most of ROMs require a certain kernel. Is there anyway around this? so i can use whatever kernel i want on any ROM?

I don't think so. As you know, a kernel is like the base and the bridge between hardware( CPU,etc...) and apps. So if the rom isn't made for a specific kernel, the phone won't boot up

Yes you should be fine. The aroma installer included in Lightweight even has several different kernels to pick from, as they're all for ICS TouchWiz (like Blue Kuban ROM).
Now, if you're using a repack (like fi27), you won't have all the extra tweaking/over/underclocking options like you would from a custom source-built one. But if all you really care about is data speed then there should be no problem.

Opinion

I have been on here searching roms I have experimented with twrp cwm and philz recoveries and have to say philz seems to be the best for our devices
Now I'm ready to flash a customer rom and kernel I have researched and with all the possibilities out there I would like to know which rom and kernel work the smoothest I'm looking for a 4.4 rom and kernel in you guys opinions which one works the smoothest and is compatible with philz recovery

Try any of sleshepic roms with either the devil kernel, or Plasma kernel.. I personally us Classic 3.0 TW with devils kernel and so far running real smooth.. It is one of the most stable TW roms for this phone..

Stock-wise @sleshepic is my go-to guy (disclosure: I am a bit biased though because of our past work to get said kernels to build properly.)
Alternatively..
If you have access to Linux you could try taking the repo from my Github and start making your own tweaked kernel.
Just look for the Community kernel thread as that's where we usually keep links and instructions up on building.

@garwynn I will look into that I'm still new to this I tried to develop a kernel for the HTC one sv but that was more advanced for what I was ready for it was a ported gsm to cdma rom kernel
