What do the different kernels do? Specifically Jacs OC/UV kernel and Kingklicks OC/UV kernel. These appear to be the ones that bionox ROMS use and want to know which one I should flash but cannot find any explanations as to what each one does or the differences between them.
Here ya go, official descriptions for each:

awesome thank you very much

does anyone here uses a custom rom with a stock kernel? will it still be good? i really do want to flash but i don't want things to get complicated. i just want to speed up the phone.
and with stock kernel everything is simple right? just flash the rom and use it, no other things needed.
I am one of the unlucky people that have a vibrant that cant handle an OC/UV kernel. So yes, every time I flash a custom rom, I flash a stock kernel. Generally speaking most roms I use ( bionix and master ) barely increase the benchmark scores of stock tw... though they do feel snappier because these rom chefs spend alot of time in polishing the user interface... if you want to make your device faster, try rooting it and installing a lag fix. If you have any other questions be sure to click the red text in my Sig.
You do not need a lag fix... too many issues stem from this.

i already flashed a fusion 1.1 stock kernel. i'm satisfied already.
Awesome, just making sure. I didn't agree with the lf suggestion.
If you've flashed Bionix Fusion 1.1 with JACS OC/UV ROM from stock, do you need to flash another kernel or does the ROM include the JACs kernel? Without SetCPU do you then run stock benchmarks?
3rd Q, are there issues flashing back to a custom ROM but with the standard kernel?

to your 3rd question, if you have a custom rom with a stock kernel you can flash back to stock rom without problems using odin.
Thanks. Plus found discussion of kernels under Vibrant Q&A under "Bionix fusion 1.1".
After I rooted my phone, I simply installed Bionix 1.3 on it and that was it.
Do I NEED to install a kernel? What does that do exactly?
Everything has been running fine on my T-Mo Vibrant with the Bionix, but would the kernel help in any way?
Thanks.
Read the ROM OP. A kernel is usually prepackaged. Understand your ROM first, then start working with different kernels. Go to the Bible stickied in the forum and you'll see links to all the kernels.
Kernels come with all custom roms. With Bionix roms, they all come with a stock + Voodoo kernel. Its is a stock kernel that has the Voodoo lagfix built in and comes preactivated. Custom kernels have more tweaks and features than the stock voodoo kernels, like Voodoo sound, Overclocking and Undervolting abilities, and more. I advise you research the advantages and disadvantages of installing custom kernels. Until you have done your research about them, i suggest you stay on the stock+Voodoo kernel for now. Once you think you're ready for a custom kernel, please choose one that is up-to-date and was built to work on Froyo roms, like Bali, Bali-X, Bullet, and Immortality.
Okay, so my question then is, with the Bionix them, if I wanted to install Bali 1.8v
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043947
Would I just do that via Clockwork Mod, then reinstall the Bionix ROM?
Or would that be too messy and possibly screw something up?
Thanks Mr. Apocalypse
You can flash kernels through CWR or SGS Kernel Flasher (in the market). Thing is, the I agree with Mr Apocalypse, you need to be reading and checking out things or your next post will be, "I bricked my phone, how to I fix it?"
This is directly from the OP of the Bionix ROM thread.
Optional Kernels:
NOTE:
Team Whiskey is not liable and takes absolutely no responsibility for any damages. Overclocking your phone adds additional stress to your hardware, so please understand the risks involved before you decide to overclock. Not all devices overclock the same, so please test the different clock speeds and see which one works best for you. Many times, certain devices will not accept an overclock at all. If you fall into this category, you will have to flash back to a stock kernel.
(all of these kernels have been compiled from official Vibrant 2.2 source code. They are include voodoo sound, voodoo color, and bln support. Bionix-v 1.3.1 already included the necessary apps for these features. Test these optional kernels and see which one works best for you!)

After you flash Bionix, then flash Bali. You can do that in ClockWorkMod Recovery or SGS Kernel Flasher, i prefer to use CWM Recovery because sometimes the app doesnt install some special files that are needed for things like BLN to work. But either way is ok, just dont reflash the rom afterward or you'll be back on the stock+Voodoo kernel
Bali is a great choice, drhonk builds those rock solid.
I am trying to figure out which of the Entropy's Daily Driver's is the best non-buggy to use or...
suggest a different kernel, I really don't feel like flashing 10-15-20 kernels to find the one that is most stable and most reliable with the goodies required
Depends on which firmware you're on...
Stock based Gingerbread I suggest the latest 3/7 DD from his thread... or Siyah kernel
Stock CM7 Kernel for CM7 (as it already comes with all his additions) ...or Siyah kernel
His ICS kernel is only for certain i9100 roms...
and the CM9/AOKP stock kernel should be used if using CM9/AOKP according to the big man himself. (again, him and the CM9 team share code...) (there's also a kernel by Fenny for ICS roms being released soon) ALSO- Siyah Kernel will be updated in short order for ICS/CM9/AOKP...
But definitely the latest daily driver or Siyah kernel if you're using Gingerbread (and soon ICS)...
Entropy and Siyah used to be very different... but most features match these days in the gingerbread versions- as I'm sure they will in the ICS versions.
And if you're running CM9 or AOKP, use the kernel they come with to avoid malfunctions.

Read the DD thread and make your own judgement - but you're still going to end up trying 3 or 4 minimum if you really want to get the "best non-buggy" for your use. Results varied across the board for everyone who tried the different versions. And 15 minutes of your time reading would probably cross 80% of them off your list of ones to try.
Stuff after 12/8 seemed to not play well with AT&T's broken bases (UC anything).
If you're on a base that doesn't suck - go for the latest on GB.

Really?
You don't want to flash them to find out which works best for you?
I am using the rootbox 4.1.2 rom on gt-i9100 and I am now on siyah
I wanna change to other kernels but could anyone gimme some suggestions?
Why do you want to change to other kernels? Siyah is a great kernel, with great stability.
I use rootbox 1.8 with dreamkernel 2.7.
So try a version of dreamkernel.
I'm using a stock based ROM (I think), it's the simplicity one, my question is, is there a kernel I can flash so I can overclock or underclock the CPU? Also, will I have any bugs if I change the kernel?
Thanks in advance.
No kernel for our device can overclock till now, but all of them can however underclock.
Except the CM specific kernels, all kernels in our section will work on simplicity or any other stock based ROM.
For bugs, you'll have to check the OP of the kernel you want to install. There are hardly any bugs btw.
