I want to install blackhawks kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439564) but I've never installed just a kernel before.
I found a thread saying to install using a recovery, but I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right.
- Do you just flash it like a ROM?
- Can I flash a new kernel over a compatible ROM, or do I need to flash the kernel then the ROM?
I have a 210R and I'm going to use SvelteNole (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722582)
ANY advice is appreciated!
First you flash a recovery,reboot to the new recovery,flash the new Rom,reboot to the new Rom,reboot again to the recovery and then flash the new Kernel. I have SvelteNole with blackhawks kernel !!!
You can flash the rom and kernel during the same session in recovery. Rom first, kernel second.

Thanks for the help, guys! Can't wait to try your ROM, gr8nole. =)

The incremental update is not the full ROM, they're just small updates for phones already running the ROM. The full ROM will be about ~100+ MB. Also, you will need to have an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery. Once you have that knocked out just Download the ROM and put it in your SD card. Make sure you wipe all data after you make a backup of your current ROM. Finally, Flash the ZIP and reboot your phone. One more thing, with the CM9 ROM, you need to download the ICS GAPPS so you have the Market and etc. Enjoy.

I know that I said I know how to flash and I just want to know step by step on flashing incremental I have the full rom and I have everything ready but I don't get the part about stocks kernel? I know what kernel is I just want to know what he means by stocked kernel as in the sence kernel or a different kernel
The stock kernel is the kernel included with the rom. If you have flashed a different kernel you must find out which kernel was included with the version of cm9 you are running and download to SD card, then flash. Then flash incremental. Also do not skip incremental. Flash in order of date after your rom download. Example rom- 6272012 incremental-6282012.
I feel more like I do now then I did then.
Thanks

Try out the Mason kernels and see how they treat you. I think the JMZ CM9 Kernel is the Mason kernel. Also, look for the unreleased Mason kernels as they might include new performance fixes and possibly hardware fixes. I heard a rumor of WiMAX hitting CM9.

JMZ stated that if you flash a custom kernel after flashing a nightly ROM you will need to flash the SAME custom kernel after flashing the incrementals I believe he has gone back to the evervolv kernel on latest ROMS for compatibility issues

I'm new to HTC stuff. I was confused about HOX's repacked kernel? Can someone explain me about the following questions?
1. when do i need repacked kernel?
2. Why do I need repacked kernel?
3. Can Repacked kernel for ROM A work on ROM B?
Thanks

1. When you are using custom kernel on custom rom but maintaining ramdisk tweaks to the said rom
2. as answer 1
3. i don't think so, always read the kernel developers instructions in full.
Quick question if I wanted to install for example TripNDroid's kernel on a CM10.2 (4.3) ROM should I repack the kernel to get it to boot. I haven't tried a straight install yet, and the reason I ask this is the Kernel's don't explicitly state support for any AOSP version greater than 4.2.2. I've searched this but can't seem to find an answer.

I repacked XM's kernel for someone to use on cm10.2 and they reported all ok

Try both...if you have a backup you cannot really screw up. You can always restore and flash stock boot.img.
I would recommend a repack to accommodate possible/probable ramdisk changes between 4.2.2 and 4.3.
Lastly, the kernel DOES NOT officially support 4.3 so it may not work at all.
Thanks for the help to both of you I will try the repack if that fails I'll just restore the nandroid or attempt to reflash the CM10.3 boot.img
hey guys..new to this website nd flashin new roms.. currently using paranoid 3.99 for my n7000..just wanted to know what kernel should i use with this ROM for a better performance..?? and how to flash the same..sorry for the noob question bt seriously new to these stuff..
thnk yu..
Kernel choice is up to the user... any AOSP based kernel for your device will work with the ROM. You can make a decision by searching the various kernel threads in your device forum, they should also contain information on flashing. In general you flash the kernel via recovery the same way you flash a ROM (kernels must be flashed after flashing a ROM however, else the ROM will overwrite the custom kernel with it's own).
So I've been reading about kernel flashing on the op5t n im seeing tht to switch kernels u should dirty flash the stock rom b4 flashing the new kernel then reflash magisk to keep from any issues on oos. Does this apply if im flashing a new\switching kernels on a custom rom as well? Like i should still be dirty flashing the oos rom to switch kernels even if im on lineage? Or do i dirty flash lineage in tht case? If someone could please clarify the process id really appreciate it as everything i can find is all about oos based kernel switching not about if ur on a custom rom going from one kernel to another

You should dirty flash lineage and then flash the kernel because if you flash a kernel on another kernel it may cause issues

Ok cool so its just tht you need to revert any changes made to \boot... So basically i only need to reflash magisk after doing the dirty flash of the rom on oos based roms then correct?

oh i mean it is the same with every rom, you have to dirty flash and then flash the kernel (sorry for being unclear with that one)
