What is the difference between Kernel and ROM, TO IMPROVE MY PHONE.
Because i was reading about DooM kernel, and other more, and i dont know what it is for.
For example: Now I have Stock ROM, and... what will happen if I install other? Can i remove the Stock kernel to other compatible Kernel? Can I?

DoomKernel is for stock and stock based ROM's. You can easily use it on Stock firmware. Custom kernels do offer more speed and other more functionality that are not available in the stock kernel. But for flashing a custom kernel You would have to unlock Your bootloader.

I couldnt find any information to help my issue and i have been looking for a while. Months ago i was really trying to OC my phone. No matter what kernel or rom I used I could never get it over the default clock speed. I finally found one rom EVO.ZONE.RED.1.20.11 That would allow me to OC. In setcpu I could go over the default clock speed (i dont know how high off the top of my head). Is there any reason why that one rom allows me to OC but no others do? If so I want to try and duplicate it with other roms. Thanks.
OC ability is determined by the kernel. The ROM you were using had a custom kernel with that feature baked in. if you want to OC just flash a new kernel, but make sure it's compatible with whatever ROM you're using

Yeah... i undersand that. I tried multiple roms and kernels with no luck. Just that one Rom. Trying to figure out why, rather than flash kernel after kernel.

try a netrachy-toastmod Kernel that allows for some overclocking also you might have to disable Perflock By clicking menu then selecting Perflock Disabler if you are using a sense based rom.
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
So I have got a question that maybe many others have yet to voice or address (maybe it's just me, and I am delusional). In any event, I am not new to rooting and flashing ROMS. I am also familiar--at least conceptually--with what the kernel is and what it does. For the purposes of this post however, I should mention that I have not ever flashed a custom kernel and am unsure as to why one would or why there is more than one floating around. I have been vacillating back on forth between stock and custom kernels....it seems like in order to flash this ROM you need this Kernel, or that ROM flash that Kernel. I want to learn and to know. I would really appreciate feedback on this.

Kernel's are installed or "flashed" in the same manner as a custom ROM, either through CWM or Odin. Kernel's just add an extra level of customization, most people use custom Kernel's for overclocking although they also have many other uses.
Kernals can also highly affect battery life and the speed of roms. The kernal has to match the kind of rom. Samsung kernals go with samsung/touchwiz based roms. Aosp kernals go with aosp based roms like cyanogenmod and aokp. There are a few jellybean kernals and those will work for the current jellybean aosp based roms. Samsung will eventually release their own jellybean update and when that happens expect to see jellybean samsung kernals made for roms based on samsung jellybean.
I want to know if I need to install a custom rom or a custom kernel or a combination of both so that I can overclock my phone(1ghz single core). Please help. Why is everybody so silent here, so unwilling to answer a simple question as this. My fourth post of the same question.
hey dude....

if u install a custom rom it is obvious that a custom kernel will get installed automatically...
any way there is a app called setCpu that helps u overclocking the phone required your phone is rooted...
u can also use "seeder" an app that tries to add smothness to the kernel....

You would only require a custom kernel for your purposes.

Custom ROMs can be built with stock kernels so that's not always true.
hey listen...

cyanogen offers cpu overcloacking but stock kernel doesnot offer this stuff..
if u build cyanogen with stock kernel then rom wont be smooth....

The question asked did not specify a specific ROM. The question was what would be required to perform OC. What is required is a custom kernel that allows tweaking. Telling someone if they install a custom ROM they automatically get a custom kernel is misinformation.
plzzz be clear

i think u need to read the question properly..
he is asking about custom kernel and rom as well....
if u use stock kernel then it would work only with aosp based roms with only minor changes not the change that allows processor tweaking...
and one more thing the stock kernels used to be part of custom roms of gingerbread ...
is there any new update or news for stock kernel and stock rom
we need a kernel for stock rom like @zwliew kernel for cm11
Unfortunately no. I dream about it. We need developer, who make it
+1. With OC CPU/GPU kernel, the stock ROM will run smoother. I remember how the last year we all pray for that. We signing petitions for chance to OC. Now we have it for custom ROM and it's cool! So if it's possible will be very nice, because I think there are many Ace 2 users that like to use not only custom, but also the stock ROM.
