whats a kernel?? what.it do to the phone??? i have samsung galaxy s with t mobile im root it n my rom is bionix-V 1.2... which kernel is the best to flash??? it does matter what rom i have?? or i just can flash whatever kernel i want .... thanks a.lot guys
IMO it depends on what you like best and wether or not you intend to OC. BTW this post belongs in the vibrant general section.
I wouldn't use a kernel if you don't know what it is. It has the potential to harm your phone if you don't know what you are doing. Go through and read the threads for each kernel first imo

What is a kernel?
Click this link
Bionix V should have a voodoo kernel (stock injected) on it, and so far, that is the best one yet.
Unless you want to tweak your phone as to OC (Over Clocking) or wanting a UV (Under Volt).
AND BTW:
These kind of questions should be POSTED ON THE VIBRANT Q & A SECTION, ok?
One more thing, read up on all the threads that has [KERNEL] on the front of the title. Isn't it obvious? They differ. So knowledge is the key, read up on them. SEARCH!

one more Q please do i have to use ec09 modem or i can keep ED05
Ec09 is probably gonna give you better results but you can try using the ed05 modem and see how you like it

Wasnt trying to make the op feel stupid... but if the op was able to find the powerwash rom and install the pbj voodoo kernal, then he should of been more than capable of finding the guide for installing vgb dont ya think? Heck the vgb guide was on the first page in the dev section, right next to the powerwashed ed05 rom and pbj kernal.
Good Day
well im not dev ,and then i saw the HOW TO ,too but I didnt know the difference between froyo and GB so i thought i can just install it over PW .one more thing it always good to know that there is ppl out there happy to help ...and if u feel like the Q is silly u can jump to next Q and dont bother urself ...trying to smile all the time will help u do better on ur life

LOL i do agree with this mostly though!
FYI sam.assad, froyo and Ginger Bread (aka GB)
are versions of the android OS Froyo is 2.2.x and GB is 2.3.x
hehehe , wow im talking about how they build these roms . 2.2.x & 2.3.x mean nothing but the version of OS ..if u read my Q u will notice that i have the ability to install rom and root .when jumped from 2.1 to 2.2 etc we didnt have to change anything on main sys but now with GB we have to repartion the hd and install GB Bootloaders ,SDK which is we didnt have to do all that with Froyo
Smile
any way thanks for all of u ..I already installed Vanilla Gingerbread v7 run it couple days i like it , but it missing what im looking for so swich to CM7 35 , i like it so far ..
Hello people I'm new to the Android world. I'm currently using Galaxy Ace 2.3.4 DXKPD, the stock rom. Rooted it. Flashed CWM5 already. I was browsing the forums and saw this Cyanogenmod7.2 unofficial. It looks great! I read the howtos but I don't understand a thing its saying. What's a kernel? I'm sorry if I'm a noob or anything.
Few questions about the rom :
-Is there any minor/major bugs?
-Is this compatible with my KPD rom?
-Will flashing void my warrantey?.
And can anyone simplify the howtos? It's really difficult to underatand and I'm afraid I will brick my ace. Thanks in advance!

GPS can't get a fix on mine, so if you are planning on using maps or navigation, think again. Also, I don't think the camera is as good, doesn't have the same features.
There is a lot to learn when moving to a new ROM even just to get it to look the way you like. On the + side you get a little better performance out of it. But remember, its primary use is as a phone and it will never turn into anything else with custom ROM's. Do it for fun if you're interested or as a learning experience only...

Most SGS2's and Note's have "bad" chips (its actually the firmware that's bad). This is only dangerous if your kernel is dangerous as well. Gingerbread kernels are usually OK, Samsung ICS kernels are usually (bad on Note, good on SGS2), custom ICS kernels: look in the kernel's thread. This is a simplification. See Entropy512's excellent post with some further details about which kernels are what.

And the app doesn't fix the bug. (as stated, again, in post 1) It just detects if the chip is of the "bad" batch, and the possibility of it affecting you or not.

I would just like to know how to avoid bricking at all costs and what a custom kernal has to offer.
What is a "safe kernal"? why is the stock kernal so bad?
I've seen some ROMs I like and want to get started soon but read that the SGS2 can be hard-bricked.
After reading this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
It states "DO NOT flash any stock 4.0.4 firmware" and then says stay away from OFFICIAL 4.0.4 firmware, can I ask why is this?
As I'm also new to rooting, so what are the advantages of overclocking the CPU? (apart from the obvious) Surely it's at default for a reason, if Samsung could improve the CPU performance without risks surely they would?
Thanks y'all

Not a life story, more of an introduction. I do hope your "life story" can't be written in a few sentences
Maybe I didn't phrase the topic all that well and reading it back now I am basically asking what the best ROM is but that wasn't really my intention. I've read the stickied threads in this section and the beginning video (which was pretty funny)
I've changed the topic, apologies.
Ok root your phone,stick on siyah kernel and maybe rremix.Read threads about using cwm/odin.
Make a note of your stock firmware in case you need it back later.

What's wrong with using stock kernal?
Are you here to learn or what.Do you think the stock kernel is going to be better than siyah/other developers kernels.

4.0.4 is leaked and it's stock kernels have eMMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, then using temporary CWM is extremally dangerous.
Custom kernels are offering overclock/underclock CPU, GPU, many tweaks which improve speed and battery life, it has ClockworkMod recovery[...] and they're meant to work with all ROMs (stock Samsung, AOSP, AOKP).
Stock Samsung kernels aren't offering those.
Safe kernel is kernel which has emmc hardbrick bug disabled.
And most important. If you're new to rooting, just read guides, read kernels threads and their features, and you will find the best for you.
4.0.4 is leaked

not completely true.. there are many official 4.0.4 ROMs although they have one thing in common with the 1st leaked version.. eMMC_CAP_ERASE is enabled on all of them.

Better flash stock ICS before.
Then flash Siyah kernel, in recovery mode flash SuperNexus and after that flash Siyah again, because most ROMs packages are overwrtting kernel.

Go search my question, no accurate results.
@przemico510, I've heard ICS on the S2 drains the battery like crazy I want to try and avoid that, is it my only option?
Hi
You won't go to far wrong if you read the installation guide and FAQs from your chosen rom thread. Also other users of that rom will have shared there experiences with various kernels regarding battery life and what tweeks and mods improve or worsen their experience. That's probably going to answer your questions quicker than asking them here. Also please back up your EFS folder once root access is gained. All the best.

I've read that there's a few methods of sorting the battery out by either leaving the phone a week or so and it will gradually get better, draining and re-charging, hard factory reset etc
So I'm going to upgrade to ICS, root the phone, install needed apps like CWM, flash the SuperNexus ROM and then flash the SiyahKernal
Thanks for all the replys guys, can't wait to get started and fiddling around with all the different things. (I don't have the phone in my possession yet, sadly)
When you get the phone please check which variant of the sgs2 you have. If you you use the wrong software on the wrong phone the results are often terminal.

The advantages of overclocking is the obvious statement! Every CPU is clocked higher in manufacturing its just easier and safer to clock them lower. There is risks of overclocking, those risks are the obvious 1's too. You do not need to overclock your CPU in the Galaxy S2 (my opinion). Just use a custom Rom and Kernel. You will notice how responsive, smoother and faster in every way compared too stock it is.
Most people seem to be gone to Jelly Bean 4.1 so maybe have a look at those Roms.

You can use faux kernel, if i'm correct, he made one at that speed
OP I would suggest doing some homework in the Kernel threads, if you are not familiar with them. You as the individual user will have to figure out what works for you...
