[Q] bionix v kernal swaping - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings! Just a quick question. I recently flashed bionix v 1.3.1 (just amazing).
I then had to take it to thee extreme and flashed destroyer of worlds kernel on it.( again amazing) my question is this. I notices after flashing the kernel my version changed from bionix
To nero w/destroyer of worlds. Soon is this still bionix? Or did the kernel flash nero b4 over
Bionix? Also if I wanted to try the dragon kernel out, can I flash over the down kernel? Or
Should I reflash thee original bionix back and then proceed to flash dragon as I did with
dow? Sorry im just confused why my build went from bionix to nero with a kernal and not a
Rom. Love it either way.

[Q] How to revert to stock kernel w/o wiping?

I want to install Bionix 1.7 w/ JACs OC kernel. I have flashed his kernel before, but i want to know, can I flash the stock kernel and just lose my OC? In case I have to go back to stock Bionix.
So, can I expect to flash the stock kernel on top of Bionix 1.7 to get rid of JACs kernel?

I don't think this will work, I'm not 100% but since his 1.7 build is based off of the JI6, I believe the kernel is different and this might mess some stuff up for you. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong
If I decide to go back to stock, I'll have have to use odin? When I was using 1.4 w/ OC, I flashed stock kernel via clockwork. then I soft bricked :O

Flashing a rom from Nero v4

I downloaded Nero V4 with the DoW OC kernel and i read in the post that you would have to flash Nero again to get rid of the kernel. So if im flashing the new KA5 rom will i have to flash Nero first then KA5?

[Q] ota froyo themes

do i have te run a custom rom to install themes?
i have ota ka6 froyo, with voodoo/rooted kernel
pretty much ..yes.. I think a deodex'd version of stock 2.2 allows you to theme. There is a deodex'd version of KA6 in the DEV section if you don't want custom.
do i have to flash a whole rom, or just the kernel?
the whole rom .....disable voodoo first and let it convert & reboot completely
so if i wanna run bionix-v i can just flash without disabling voodoo, since its already voodoo enabled? also would my flashed kernel cause any problems? or will the rom flash ka7 kernel?
It will flash the ka7 voodoo kernel

[Q] what is ULF kernel?

I was wondering that what is ULF kernel? I am using Bionix 1.3.1 with Overstock 1.5 now, I want to flash Trigger Rom then flash the Overstock 2.1 kernel. Is that will work?
I saw that in Overstock 2.1 page," Flash through RED RECOVERY only to install. If you're on a ULF kernel, flash back to a stock+Voodoo kernel first" . What is ULF kernel? Is there any different Kernels, what r the difference?

ULF stands for universal lag fix. It's a type of kernel that can use a variety of different file systems. I don't think anyone is using it anymore because it wasn't very stable. If you are going from one version of Overstock to another you should be fine.
The last kernel it was most commonly used in was Eugene's deadhorse

It was a good idea it just never seemed to work properly. The old ULF kernels would eat my battery in like 8 hours.

[Q] Advice requested - Upgrade my stock 2.1 vibrant

I am running a stock 2.1-update1 TMO Vibrant.
I have previously run Obsidian and also some team whisky axura flavor, before going back to stock 2.2.
I had stock 2.2 until I tried to flash the newest overstock kernal last night and bricked my phone.
I had a stock 2.1 recovery laying around, so long story short I am now at 2.1 stock.
I would really like to flash the latest overstock along with a good ROM but am not sure if I should be doing it from 2.1 or if I should kies up to 2.2 and then start.
Also, this whole red CWMR thing has me thoroughly confused. Where is this mysticl red lockworkmod and how do I flash it?
I was thinking Bionix-X for my new rom, but would appreciatte some feedback or other suggestions from the community on what roms are 'best'.
Thanks for any assistance, I appreciatte all info.

Hi, ok...lets clear some stuff first:
1. The red CWM Recovery means its a VooDoo injected kernel....almost all custom ROMs and kernels have VooDoo in it so it will be red.
2. The easiest way is to upgrade to a 2.2 ROM and get the Overstock kernel is to go back to stock 2.1 (which i see you've done already) re-root....DL ROM Manager and flash CWM recovery (which will be green at first), then DL the 2.2 ROM you want, like Bionix-V 1.3.1 and put it on your sd card and flash it.....like i said almost all custom ROMs come with a red VooDoo CWM recovery....so after you flash it....it'll be red....then you can continue to flash Overstock..
Thank you for such a concise (and quick!) response, greatly appreciatted.
Or just flash malice which comes with overstock
