Flashing a Kernel

Yesterday I installed a ROM for the first time. Today I would like to try a different Kernel. How do I just install JUST the kernel ?

Kernels are flashed same way you flashed the ROM. Put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvix x2, and install from SD card.

will i have to install the rom also all over again ?

No. You wont have to reinstall the ROM.

perhaps this will be of help. this is for CM6, but the steps are the same for Sense ROMs.

Make sure that if u have a sense rom, u have a sense kernel.. if u ever get bootloops just reflash the rom and the kernel will be replaced

Wipe your cache and dalvik cache. And install it just as you would a ROM, install from sd > pick file > your kernel

Custom roms

hi all I've got the leedroid ROM on my phone is it possible to flash any ROM just to try them all?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Yes, although most roms will ask you to wipe data before flashing them) so create a titanium backup of all apps (user apps not system!) And a nandroid backup just in case

You don't have to move/install anything manually. Based on the ROM you select apps/app data/ dalvik cache etc will be moved automatically when you flash the ROM or when you activate the a2sd script in the ROM.
Read the ROMs opening pages carefully to understand how this works on each of them.

It should do everything itself

{rom} question

I have got a update for cm10.1.0 RD2 and was wondering, if I updated my ROM, would I have to re-flash my boot image again? I have tweaked the karnel for a SD card boost, that's it. Also I have customised my ROM using ROM toolbox pro, would I loose all my customisation and apps after updating my ROM? If so, does anyone know how I could get everything back after the update has finished? Thanks

Wrong Place
it should go in Q/A side

Funny thing how someone else said that a similar question in the Q/A side was in the wrong place. Do you know if I would have to then?

Well if you place it in a ROM section then I suggest at least to place it in original android section. This is the 'HTC sense' development section where most people don't know anything about cm10.

I told you to ask such questions in the respective ROM thread... meaning cm10.1 rom thread and not the Original Android Development... lol :silly:

Of course u loose all of them when u re-flash.
just u titatium backup, back up app and data. When reflash, just restore app+data. That's all. Hope that helps
