[Q] Question about kernel - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All devs please help, I have a question. This question is about the kernel. Can you change the kernel of a ROM without changing ROMs.
Thank you for your help.

Not a dev, but yes. Download your kernel of choice and flash in recovery after wiping dalvik and cache.

Yes. Just make sure you flash a Sense kernel on a Sense ROM, and a AOSP kernel on a AOSP ROM.

Yes you can and like Fin said,make sure to read the whole op before flashing the kernel,theres alot more to it than just flashing a kernel and even though it says its for AOKP or JB,make sure its made for your rom and alot of devs add different governors and voltage regulators to their kernels,make sure to look at that also,so you can get the best battery life,but at the same time you might want speed,theres alot of things to look for and concider before using a OC kernel,the main thing,follow close directions and if your not sure about something,ask first before bricking your phone.

[Q] [AOSP] Incredible 2 OMFGB(OMGB) Help?

I have been running through rubbish sense based ROMs that are easily flashable in clockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.0 , and i need to get cm7 ,right.. (excuse my n00b-ness) But how do i go about getting that , and then how do i go about installing the aosp ROMs? Also, nightlie, (checking to see if i researched correctly) They are basically over the air updates ect,ect.? Correct or am i missing something completely ? Help a n00b out. You'll get your thanks obviously =]
Cm7 is an aosp ROM all to itself. You don't need to run this ROM if you don't want to. But, a lot of people love cm7.
There are several aosp roms that are also very good. Liquid, miui, omfgb... To name a few.
Nightlies are roms that are built by a computer program. This process is used to develop a stable ROM. For the most part, nightlies are buggy and don't always completely work. As a noob, these might frustrate you. I would stick to a stable version. Just my opinion, try them if you want to.
Aosp roms are flashed in the same manner as a sense based ROM. Through recovery. It is important to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and do a factory data reset when you interchange between sense and aosp roms.
I hope I have answered some of your questions. XDA is an excellent place to expand your knowledge. Your noobness will wear off soon...

Here is a link to the stable cm7 ROM. You will need to download the ROM itself, and the Google apps (gapps) .zip files.
Do a full wipe, flash the rom, then flash the gapps file. This can be done in the same recovery session, no need to reboot first. But... Flash the ROM first, gapps second.
Also, check the stickies in the general section. There are several guides that fellow members have writen to help people who are new to all of this. I have found them quite helpful.

Download what ever kernel you want and flash in clockwork mod recovery. Just like you flash juggs Rom. Usually the developer leaves instructions on how to flash their rom/kernels just read the original post of the kernel you want to flash..
Make sure you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing.

As a habit, I will also fix permissions before and after flashing as well, just to be sure.

[Q] OverClock

I am running jellybam 7.5.0, an aosp 4.2.2 rom and i want to overclock my s3 but whenever i go to peformence control it only lets me go to 1512MHz. Can someone find me a kernel that works with this rom cuz i really like the rom and want to keep it and i also really want to overclock. PLZ help me!!!!
Kernels that support overclocking on aosp 4.2.2 roms can be found in the Original Android Development section. You probably won't find much help on xda with jellybam.

You will need one of these two. Depending. In their change log it is not clear if the ROM is based on Linux 3.0 or Linux 3.4 kernel.
KT747:
Aosp 4.2.2 Linux 3.0:

Aosp 4.2.2 Linux 3.4:
http://www.mediafire.com/?851bd2h5r571xi3
Try the 3.4 first if it doesn't boot, reboot in recovery and flash the 3.0.
OK so i downloaded it went into recovery flashed 1 then cleared chache then dalvik then i fixed permissions then when i rebooted it just went to a blank screen. it did this for both kernels l. plz tell me what I'm doing wrong.

You really need to find out what kernel this rom supports.
You could also flash the rom again and wipe bothe caches
If I were you I would switch to root box because jellybam is dead now. Try to find the root box nightly in the original development forum. Find the date 4/5 meaning 5th of april . with that I would flash the KT kernel with is also found in original development but download the Linux 3.4 version and flash that with the 4/05 nightly
jellybam is not supported in XDA, nor are duplicate postings of the same issues amongst multiple threads.
This thread is now closed.

Simple Little Questions thats bugging the **** out of me.

Do i have to have a rom to get a new kernel. Thats the first question the others will be after this one is answered. Thanks in Advance
It really depends if the kernel supports the phone and rom. Most kernels only work if the rom supports that kernel. Take cyanogenmod for example. If you were to flash cm that has stock 3.0 kernel, you can't use the 3.4 kernel or above unless the rom supports it. If you want a more recent kernel then you'd have to flash a rom that supports it.

You need to be rooted with custom recovery to flash a kernel. But, you can use the stock rooted rom. Does that answer?
Also, if you stick with stock rom, or any touchwiz rom, can only use touchwiz kernels. If you want aosp kernels, need to be on an aosp rom.

[Q] Question about flashing kernels

Greetings fellow humans,
I'm currently running Cyanogenmod, but am looking into flashing Embryo, Jedi Mindtrick, or one of the other Touchwiz based ROMS. I notice that they are running off of different kernels, but reading the instructions it seems like the different kernel is packaged with the ROM. Is this correct, or do I need to flash the kernel separate from the ROM itself?
Nevermind. I figured it out, I think. Some have kernels installed, others don't. You need to read which ones have kernels installed, and do separate installations for those that do not.
Most xda developers will give u optional kernels to install with there rom. The kernel should be flash with from. Radio- Rom- kernel- Gapps

Great, I'll keep that in mind as experiment with different ROMS.
