Dear All,
After reading a lot in xda, and flashing several roms and kernels, I was very happy with Blade Elite v2.0, but now my battery is suffering and thought about trying a different kernel. I understand that Blade v2 ROM can only use the stock kernel, or alex-v kernel, though when I try to flash alex's kernel I am having some very bizarre problems.
There are several options within alex's latest kernel, i.e. new s2w, old s2w, without s2w etc. None of these boot.img files flash properly.
After flashing the kernel in fastboot and installing the modules in recovery, upon reboot the screen is upside down, inverse colours and a mirror image. It is very very odd.
Am I doing anything wrong, incompatible kernel/ROM/radio etc?
Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you
Personally I've been using Alex last kernel for a long time on Blade Rom without any issues. Lately lyapotas lm kernel is running great and getting ongoing development. I would go for that one. Make sure to fastboot erase cache before reboot.
Thanks for the tip, i've managed to flash lyapota with no problems - reading from old posts I thought only alex or stock kernels would work. Thanks very much - especially now I have s2w!!
:good:

What are the differences?
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.0.0 now and in the description mike1986 claims that stock 3.0.8 kernel is the best so far but with so many people using franco's kernel it must be better or am i wrong?
Also, will flashing franco.kernel on Android Revolution cause any bugs etc? (I'm kinda new to this whole flashing kernels part)
(If there are better roms do not hesitate to recommend me one and please tell me what's better if thats the case )
Thanks in advance!

I can not list the differences for you exactly just go to franco's thread. There are many advantages to flashing a custom kernel. The kernel devs work hard to make the kernel's better than stock in many ways. You'll get extra features and extended battery life for sure out of a custom kernel. Stock better? I dont think so! Flashing a kernel after a rom is the way you have to do it but, ya some settings might not work if the kernel dev had done things differently from the rom dev.
give it a shot if you dont like it you can always reflash your rom package to restore the roms kernel.
before flashing a kernel (or reflashing your rom after flashing a custom kernel) wipe your dalvik cache
so many people around here have a boner for franco but I always highly recommend GLaDOS kernel its imo the best and most advance but to each his own

Installing it now, let's see if you're right about GLaDOS
Thanks for the reply
Ok guys, I've been around for a while and now I need some help for kernel repack, please...
well...was trying to get the aosp build work with ncx kernel...
so I flashed the kernel....the rom...modules and gapps...and it stucked at bootlogo with sw buttons light on
then...I tried a repacking operation with one-click tool...I repacked the ncx kernel with the rom's ramdisk (from the boot.img in the rom) and ncx modules...reflashed everything, result: no connection, like if I haven't flashed the modules...
now, I heard that repacking's purpose is to combine custom kernel with rom's ramdisk, for compatibility problems...and the modules of course...
why doesn't work?? :/

You can't go wrong with that tool.
Just make sure to first flash the ROM and then the modules.

+1 thx!
Hi I am new to rom and kernel flashing, and I am interested in flashing the ElementalX 1.1 kernel on AOKP. I love AOKP, and I am way interested in the swipe-to-wake and double-tap-to-wake features of ElementalX 1.1.
What kinds of things do I need to know about compatibility between kernels and Roms? Can you typically use any kernel with any rom?
Loving the Nexus experience and looking forward to learning more!
They often can but not always.
Android versions need to match.
Usually you can flash any kernel on any ROMs but if its a CM based ROM and you flash a custom kernel then slimport features sometimes don't work or some times you flash a custom kernel then the boot animation gets cut and turns black it doesn't really matter I have done lots of flashing and I would say that every kernel can be a flashed with any ROM without problems I am currently on CM kang and using kernel elemental x and everything runs smooth..hope this help click thankksss
Don't just slap any kernel to your device you might seriously brick it.....learned this lesson when I had an Atrix4G.....

Nexus devices are different then the Atrix4G. You can not seriously brick it by flashing an incompatible kernel. Even having no kernel will not prevent you from accessing the bootloader and recovery.
Ive been using the dark flo version if cm10.2 since I got my nexus 7, however when ive tried to install a custom kernel, I get a blue/turquoise screen upon reboot. Ive tried both CAF and normal versions of various kernels, but all with the same results. I tried using the AOSP kernel setting in the aroma installer, then installed some AOSP kernels, which do boot but it has the worst lag ive ever seen since my iPhone! Anyone else experienced this and know a solution? Ive searched the forum but couldn't find anything relevant
Same here: installed CM10.2 unofficial, GApps, rebooted and everything´s fine.
After installing any of the Faux-Kernels (es/m/u) and wiping Dalvik etc., I have the same screen problems and lags, which make the device unusable.
I´m searching for an overclock kernel, btw.
Thanks for your input!
im after the same thing, just an oc kernel. I even tried one with no mods, just the cpu speeds increased and had no luck
UPDATE - I read somewhere that some kernels wont work with CM versions released after oct 2nd. I tried installing a copy of dark flo from the end of September, then tried faux123's latest mainline kernel abd it booted fine! Im assuming its an incompatibility with the latest CM, so I hope the kernels get updated soon!
Thank you for the info!:good:
It´s waiting time again...
how did you get out of the turquoise screen?
Easy fix:
Uninstall CM
Install AOSP based rom
Profit
Seriously, CM has gone to crap since they moved away from aosp and started with CAF. Kernel devs shouldn't have to do extra work just for one rom, especially when said rom is going from bad to worse

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd share something I learned recently while installing the latest version of Devil Kernel along with Temasek ROM v28.
Firstly, I'd like to clarify that I'm a noob when it comes to custom ROMs and kernels so please bear with me if this seems obvious; this is mostly for the benefit of people like me.
I rooted my phone a month or two back and had no problems installing custom ROMs (thanks to Max Lee of galaxynote2root.com) However, I had some problems when installing Devil Kernel.
I had already installed Temasek ROM, so I booted into recovery and did dalvik/cache wipes before flashing the kernel. Upon reboot, I discovered I had lost mobile network i.e. the phone couldn't even register.
Through some trial and error, I realised that in order to restore the network, I had to:
1. Wipe Dalvik and cache.
2. Re-install the ROM and Gapps.(missed this part)
and only after that,
3. Install Devil Kernel.
Problem solved!
Hope this helps whoever has this predicament

My battery is draining faster on my custom rom 4.4.2 rather than on stock 4.3. What does a kernel?

A kernel is the interface layer between the hardware and software on your phone....
And is responsible for the core functions of the device....
Choose this piece of software carefully...g
