What is the deal with ramdisk? How do i switch between kernels to test out¿ do i have to flash a rom everytime?
Ex: i was runnin stock rom/kernal 4.3 for awhile, then just flashed fancy.. Do i have to reflash stock rom to clean the ramdisk?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
If fancy has its own ramdisk it is reccomended to dirty flash your rom.

Thanks man.. Yeh he uses universal ramdisk via anykernel2.. So i gues im alright. What does the ramdisk hold and y isnt there a way to -rm or format via cust recovery?
I tried to google it to find more info on it.. I guess i need to dig deeper

the way I've always assumed for ramdisk was specific stock settings, symlink setups, init files and such
sorry I can't explain much further.
maybe to try to get more useful info for your question, try Google "zimage vs boot.img, what does kernels ramdisk do/contains"
you will probably get many Linux.results, but they translate very easily into android since android kernel is Linux based
Lol.. Thanks

basically certain kernels have its own ramdisk (. i.e franco )so its not recommended to flash different kernel without flashing the rom first.
wipe cache
flash rom
flash gapps
flash supersu if needed

Since people probably don't read through threads fully, here is the kernel that I've been packaging with my ButterNutz ROM for a while now, though this one is slightly newer. The full change-log can be found via the source link going to Github. I'll state that this is a very stock and minimal kernel. If you like changing things constantly like the CPU governor and IO Schedulers, you probably want to go look for another kernel. If you like something that works great without having to play around with 50 different settings, then this may be for you. I took the stock kernel source for the tuna board, and patched it up to the latest 3.0.x release, and am also keeping it merged with the tuna source from AOSP, as there have been a few changes since I initially put this out that just got merged in. I've enabled overclocking, though in my usage, the phone rarely goes up to the 1200/1350MHz steps. I've also set the GPU clock to the advertised stock setting, though it doesn't do much for performance from what I saw, but I also haven't seen an issue with battery life, so I left it where I set it. This isn't undervolted, nor does it support it. I tested several undervolt settings, and saw no change in battery life, regardless of what I set the voltages to. Getting rid of it just makes for one less thing to have bugs and issues. For those that are reading averse, here is the Cliff Notes version of features.
Features
Based on stock AOSP kernel source
Patched to the latest 3.0.x from vanilla kernel sources
Overclocked CPU/GPU
Simple IO Scheduler
LZO Compression for faster boot times
Compatible with all Tuna board Galaxy Nexus phones (toro, torospr/toroplus, maguro)
Flash and forget it, no need to spend 20 minutes tweaking for optimal performance

Where is XYZ feature?
If you can't find it, odds are it isn't included. Look through the change log above to see if it has been added.
Can I have XYZ Feature added to the kernel?
Link to it and I'll take it under consideration. However, odds are, if it hasn't been included yet, it may not get added. I will add any features that I deem useful, and if you would like something that I don't add, the kernel is opensource, so you can easily add it yourself.

Well, it's working fine here, and for several other users that I've talked to. Not sure what the issue is, but I'd need more information that you provided to even begin to figure out what is wrong.
Also, updated the kernel. I removed some debugging, added in UTF-8 support, and also updated with some more changes from Google. Full list of changes are on Github.
Now here is a kernel I will run
Thanks.

Updated the OP with two new kernels. If you use tethering, you'll want the tether kernel as it should support wifi tethering properly. The other will only allow you to tether via wifi if you don't use encryption.

I'm not sure how you're flashing it, but the updater-script in the zip does not print anything, nor does anything get mounted. It checks that you're using a tuna device and extracts the boot.img directly to the device node. It should take just a couple seconds to flash.

What recovery are you using I noticed that there it's a problem with TWRP recovery in updating some zip files.
Also you might want to try and flash back to stock and retry. Sometimes a fresh start is always best

Not to be an ass or anything but y would I have to go back to stock and then come and try to flash this kernel again? Every zip I flash (but this one) flashes fine via any recovery twp cwm etc. I haven't had my phone hang on boot logo one time until I flashed this kernel ....

I've been playing with a few of the kernels available for 4.2.x so far and wanted to get back to the stock kernel in between testing kernels out. Also good for those who may have accidentally flashed a 4.1.2 kernel. This is a flashable CWM 4.2 Galaxy Nexus JOP40C kernel. Tested and working on my stock/rooted 4.2/4.2.1 GNex. As always, flash at your own risk.

However, I'm using nexus 7, just wondering how could I extract the stock kernel from the nexus 7 factory image?

I assume this kernel wouldn't work for my device either?

Good question. I will create a stock kernel flash for the Nexus 7 (as I have one as well) and post it up there in the N7 XDA forum.
Also, the kernel is the boot.img file located in the zip for ROMs. You can fastboot install it, or make it into a CWM file which is good in case you don't have a computer with ADB nearby. Link to N7 Stock kernel:

How do you make it a cwm file? Just zipping the .img file?
Also, I can't seems to boot into cwm recovery without a toolkit is that normal for installing an incorrect custom kernel?

if its any franco kernel other than the very latest 4.2.2 kernel, you cant flash trinity kernel over it(or any other). it was a problem in some of francos code, he just fixed it. if so, just dirty flash your rom(dont wipe a thing) and trinity with it.

Could be a few issues.
You could be on an old version of JellyBam that does not use the 3.4 kernel. You also could have downloaded the wrong kernel from the page linked. If you could give us your ROM version that would help.

Kernels are flashed in recovery, not Odin. The problem may be the recent display changes in KT's kernel. You may want to check his thread for an earlier build (pre 4/19) before the display commits were added.

correct. flash his 4/11 release.
and if you ever find yourself in a bootloop from flashing the wrong kernel, just flash the correct kernel in recovery. wipe cache/dalvik, fix permissions and reboot. good to go without having to restore or reset anything.
also, i'd stick with ROMs in this forum that are supported by the dev.
