I'm new to kernel flashing. I have been playing around with snap and kings kernel. I don't have a problem flashing snap, but once I have it installed it works fine for awhile, but then it reboots itself or goes into a state where it won't turn on and I have to pull the battery. I tried 7.6 both bfs and cfs and the same thing happens. I also tried 7.5 but once I flashed it nothing showed up in the apps to install.
For kings kernel I flashed it and it booted up fine but it seemed to freeze up and I couldn't unlock my phone after the boot.
Am I doing something wrong when I am flashing these? I am running the nightlies of cyanogen. Also, What are some other kernels that work well with cm?
Thanks!!!
Kernals seem to be a taste for the phone itself and not the rom...
My Evo doesnt seem to like any other kernals than stock I have tried many rom/kernal combos and the only way i get no issues and best battery is to run stock kernal
I ran fresh with netarchy and kings like some others-that had great battery and mine just drained fast so I am done with the kernal swapping for now and jut keep playing with roms.... Trying out Virusrom right now not bad so far
Try wiping the cache and dalvik cache before flashing the new kernels. That might help.
Another thing that might help is posting this in the right section. More people with the knowledge and good insight that you need will be more apt to answer you in the Q&A section.
I've tried clearing everything including data but it still would self reboot
the snap kernels do not work with the recent versions (nightlies) of CM.
The framework has been redone, and you will freeze.
You have to use the stock kernel.
Ziggy just made an AOSP kernel, but its buggy.
Toast has a .35 kernel that works good on the new frame work.
I just was able to use a different kernel of kings. It really doesn't enhance quadrant scores, but im want to see what it does to the battery. Where can I download toast.
Also, I noticed that now my unlock screen is different from my wall paper. Is that a kernel issue?
Check to make sure SetCPU is disabled (or any other overclocking utility), and wipe your cache/dalvik. If all else fails, go with the Snap 7.6 failsafe method.
Kings AOSP #1 has worked best for me using cm nightlies. I have easily doubled my battery life. Has anybody else had success with any other kernels? Is toast an AOSP kernel?

snap and king use the .32 kernel. snap http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733099
cm6 nightly is currently using .34 kernel
Toast has a .35 test1 kernel available for CM6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596)
ziggy has a kernel as well. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819402)
zendroid has a kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831021
turn off setcpu until after you reboot with the new kernel. don't forget to read the kernel threads OP for possible hints on setcpu configs (ie: snap7.6 works well with conservative governor)
yes they are all AOSP.
i would not advise a newbie to play with the snap or king kernels until the .35 revisions have been released. this is due to changes in the Framework.apk file. you are likely to find that a current CM6nightly w/ the snap7.6 kernel = no bluetooth. new kernels should be hitting shelves very soon. personally, i'm looking forward to loading up the snap kernel once its done cooking, i really liked that kernel.
most are just fine with the stock kernel
many have commented positively on the toast test1 kernel (aside from a hang issue at startup)
ziggy & zen have a bit of work to do on their kernels it seems.
once .35 is 'done' you'll find a bunch of movement on the the kernel threads.

Thanks! this really helped. This may be a dumb question, but where do you find out what kernel runs with the ROMS. eg .35
I really want to find a good combination that gives me good battery life and performance. so will snap 7.6 work with cm 6.1 rc 1 rom?
I saw for CM6.1 the stock kernel is the best. I have gotten the best performance, battery life, and bug free with the stock kernel.
Snap 7.6 would get stuck on the splash screen and required several battery pulls.
Toast .35 works good, but after about an hour or two for some reason it brings my fps cap down to 37, so all my scrolling and games run like ****.
Wait for Snap 9 or the official toast .35 kernel. Stock is just fine.
I was bored last night and tried cm 6.1 with snap 7.6 just for fun, but it seems to be working fine. The boot was quick too, it was on the cyanogen boot image for about 3 seconds before it started up. Quadrant scores are in the mid 2000s. No problems with anything else so far.
Is there a snap website or channel log? I can only fined directories.
i've been running redemption rom with lous kernel for quite sometime but have decided to give another rom a try.........i'm currently running INCrom with stock kernel, anyone else running this? if so what do you think?? i was thinking about changing out kernels for one of lou's b/c his are solid and dependable.
It's all about preference, try out what you want, just be sure to nandroid.
IMO Lou has very solid stable kernels.
I just flashed koni's elite II rom (which is awesome) and i want a really fast kernel that's compatible, any suggestions?
any sense kernel. try a few. when i was on sense, i either used netarchy's newest cfs version, or one of ziggy's beta kernels (www.ziggy471.com). i also like calkulin's modded htc 15 kernel. try cyanogenmod nightly 7 stock kernel is new and beast. or try savagezen on aosp.
Thanks man
no problem
I wouldn't have advised him to use and AOSP kernel on a Sense rom.

" try cyanogenmod nightly 7 stock kernel is new and beast. or try savagezen on aosp."
i'd say thats clear enough. you can mock me for being wrong when he flashes savagezen over myns (which would totally be worth the pictures of fail that people would post btw)
I am not going to research this, cause I am sure there are a ton of threads involving ROMs. What I am asking is for a poll. I just installed yesterday Wicked Sensations v1.4 with FF18 modem. I did that modem because prior to flashing to Wicked I had installed the FF18 on a stock Gingerbread 2.3.6. Seemed to work well on my phone. Anyway I am not liking Wicked to much; so I am asking all of you. What ROM are you running? What is the performance like? Is there any ROMs out that that have the overclock kernel built in? What issues are you seeing with the ROM you chose? I know the ultimate decision will be mine as to what ROM to use. Wither it's the stock android, or something else. I am asking this because before I started trying to flash to a different ROM I was only aware of Cyanogenmod 7. I get on here, and start looking around, and BAM! there are a TON of ROMs.
Blazer ROM
I'm currently running Blazer V4.1 as my daily driver. I flashed rogue_et-1.4.1+ kernel w/ OCing. I don't have any issues at all. best one I've ran so far.
I just started running CM9 Alfa5 build with TeamWins twrp- 2.1.8-epictouch-CM9-FF11(safe for flashing) kernel and can't be happier. Everything works as it should, it's really smooth and has a ton of bells and whistles.
If your looking for a GB roms try out GalaxyTask_14_Slim I used that one for a long long time. And if I decide to go back to GB that's the rom I would jump back to.

guys ive used these forums forever. you guys are the best, people think im a genius because of you guys. ive never made a post because you guys pretty much have me covered always. maybe im not using the correct wording in my search, but i need help on flashing a kernel with my aokp rom. im using milestone 6 but when i flash a kernel my wifi breaks no matter what kernel i flash. when i odin back to el26 wifi works fine, the kernel that comes with aokps wifi works fine. but i do get bad reception sometimes and want to try a new kernel, please help or direct me to the correct solution. thanks in advance
What kernel are you flashing? You cant flash a kernel made for touchwiz on aokp.
