[Q] which kernel?

Hi,
my phone-info states that I have this kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL783107 [email protected]_dev-pc#1
Which one is this? Are there better kernels available? Can I flash a kernel without resetting the phone or whatever? and is a kernel included in an nandroid backup?
I know, a lot of questions about kernels , trying to understand
cheers

you're problably on cm7 or better said cyanmobile.
as cyanmobile is modified cm7, you cant flaah different kernels, just stick to the current one

[Q] Question about kernel

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.

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] Which kernel to choose

Hi, I know this is a bit of a noob question, but I want to flash a new kernel, and I don't know which kernels are safe to flash. I'm running CM 10.1 Wild for the Night with CWM 6.0.3.3 . I have a EL29 modem and the current kernel is something like 3.0.64-CM-q31f128d. As to why I want to flash a new kernel it's because I have an audio problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374061) and other people with the same problem, but the GT-I9100 version of the s2, have reported it fixed by flashing the dorimanx kernel. However, I can't flash that one because it's only for the GT-I9100 right? So my question is which kernel can I flash?

I believe the only current AOSP kernels are the standard CM one (and its derivatives) and the LightningZap kernel. The CM one is the standard one in most of the AOSP ROMS.

Yeah I believe the cyanogenmod one is what I currently have. Is it possible to flash the LightningZap kernel using Mobile Odin while keeping my current Cyanogenmod 10.1 setup? Thanks for the quick reply!

As long as there is a tar for it, yes. If they have a zip, you can flash from your current custom recovery. Either way nothing will change but kernel and recovery.

Flashing custom kernel

I have been trying, unsuccessfully to flash two different custom kernels. The first was the Matrix Kernel v1.42(no overclock) and the other was Sleshepicss Governor Kernel v1.7 MA7. I have been using Phiz custom recovery to flash and the flash process says completed successfully but after reboot the phone does nothing. Any suggestions??
Edit: I am running Dirty Unicorns 4.4.2 rom

Those won't work. Read kernels op. They are not for 4.4.2 heck I don't even think either of these work with aosp no matter the version. Use the latest plasma (omni rom build)
