Running Das BAMF Remix v1.6.3 and the kernel that comes with it (bamf 4.4.7).
I was interested in "upgrading" my kernel to Adrynalyne's Control Freak 2.0. I've never flashed just a kernel, only a ROM.
Questions:
1. What is the advantage of upgrading to CF 2.0?
2. Do I flash it in Clockwork Recovery just like a ROM, but without wiping data/cache?
3. I control my frequency/governor through the Das BAMF Toolkit under CPU Settings, so I uninstalled the SetCPU app (no reason to have two). Can I control CF 2.0 with my current Das BAMF Toolkit or do I need the SetCPU app?
4. I read.... "***WARNING*** These are advanced kernels and you CAN end up not booting if you do not know what you are doing. If In doubt, use a bamf kernel, or DO NOT modify this kernel's advanced options." How can I screw this up if I flash it like a regular ROM?
It sounds like you don't know enough about goofing with the cf kernels advanced commands so as long as you stay away from the command line and/or keep a backup kernel you should be fine.
In order to flash a kernel boot into recovery, don't use Rom manager or kernel manager.
Once in recovery wipe the cache partition, go to advanced and wipe David cache, ignore the SD-ext error.
Go back and select choose zip to install.
Navigate to the kernel you downloaded and flash it.
Reboot and enjoy.
Make sure to create a backup prior to flashing encase you do goof something up.

Thanks.
I'm guessing the command line is something not easy to access?
How do I keep a backup kernel?

Its easy to access.
For a backup kernel download a froyo kernel from any of the available ones out there. Adrynalyne or imoseyon is what I use.

Do I just put the backup kernel on the root of my SD card?
I'm running the CF 2.0 kernel right now with no problems so far.

Yeah you can just restore from your backup, but before ruestoring it, do the following steps:
1. In recovery, wipe your Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Still in recovery, under mount and storage, select "Format /system"
5. Then you can restore your backup.
6. Fix permissions
7. Reboot to system
And you are done.

If you want Nick's MIUI 360, you don't need to install stock MIUI, just do the steps above, but instead of restoring your backup, just flash MIUI 360...do NOT flash MIUI 360 over stock MIUI (in this case, over your backup), if you do, most likely you will get tons of FCs. If you want MIUI 360, its recommended to do a clean install, not flashing over anything.
Do you need to ALWAYS complete ly always wipe data factory when flashing aROM AND WHAT'S THE BEST ASOP ROM FOR THUNDERBOLT THAT WON'T BE A HEADACHE,I'M DAS BAMF RC4.9 and can't seem to flash anything else cuz other roms to me are messing up Rom my back roms, like no root check no titanium, just need simple help

Unfortunately yes....i use app monster from market to backup my apps. But if ur on a rom and ur just flashing the same rom but just the update then u can wipe cache,davik and under mount/storage wipe format/system....dont worry it wont wipe whats on ur sd card.
Select Wipe Cache
Select Advanced
Select Wipe Dalvik
Select Go Back
Select Mounts and Storage
Select Format /system
Select Go Back Until you are at the first screen
Select Install from SD Card
Select Choose ZIP
Go to the folder where you downloaded the ROM
Select ROM
Select Yes.
When it is done Reboot.
Enjoy!

Does Gtalk also force close? If so, go to the q AND a thread and download the .zip in the link the "Notices" section. Flash it in ClockworkMod, not ROM Manager, just as you would flash a ROM. Reboot, give it 2 tries and it should work fine... Assuming the problem is what I think it is.
I created a backup because I wanted to try a mod ,I didn't like the mod because it messed up the system UI.
So I tried to restore the backup however I ended up with the Samsung logo flashing?
I advanced restored the boot image and the phone started but all my apps were force closing , then I tried the full restore however the /data section wouldn't restore because it was corrupted
what's my best option? I've currently decided to boot to the nandroid menu and go on wipe data/factory reset , the phone has restored and I'm restoring using Titanium Backup. This will bring back my user apps I think?. But is there any way to restore wifi passwords and bookmarks and calendar appointments?
Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance
I am pretty sure that by signing into your Google account it should restore your WiFi passwords and bookmarks automatically

Before flashing anything.. go to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache, when done "fix permissions" ,this option is located in advanced menu in recovery. Now reboot.
Use "titanium backup" to backup BT WIFI and other settings.
Ps. Don't restore system apps, only the app data if absolutely necessary.

I agree with zodiaxe66's suggestion always try something like this before you just go flashing away.

I've used Mobile Odin to flash the stock LFB .I've done this before perfectly.
But this time once I load the file the:
Kernel,Recovery,System,Cache, Modem and Hidden are filled in
Param and Data are clear.
And I tick:
Enable everroot .Inject SU ,Inject Mobile Odin.
And I select
Wipe data and Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Then I select flash firmware.
the mobile Odin screen pops up and it shows the progress when it flashes the
kernel recovery system hidden
and wipes the dalvik cache
However the Message App still force closes!
could somebody please help me out ? I'm getting proper stressed now

....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

Did u download the additional file beside the app itself. Either from mobile Odin thread or if bought it from market,then turn on wifi and open Odin again and u be asked to download additional file.
remember to grant superuser permission.
Update from the idiot, partial success achieved .
I ended up flashing the stock rom using odin on the desktop then I flashed CWM recovery rooted supersu etc
Then I started the phone, memory card is intact, however phone memory was wiped. Luckily my titanium folder is on the memory card. So luckily I was able to restore the apps and data. No force closes now
The stuff I lost on the internal memory was music (now restored) camera pics (most restored thanks to dropbox) ringtones and bookmarks.
However I have much more free internal memory than before, so I was wondering whether I could be missing an important folder or something than may cause issue with apps or is there anything important I might have lost?
Thanks once again for helping an idiot out

No your probably not missing anything
Important in fact when your phones internal storage was wiped it very likely got rid of the traces of any file that could cause problems.

Thanks, on Titanium Backup it shows my system apps and a few have green text, such as bookmarks, wallpapers, phone book. Is there any way to only back these up and not all the system apps?

I think if you long press on the options that are green it should bring up a list of options such as backup, restore, etc. try that and see what happens.

Yes if you have the pro version of titanium backup you can schedule an automated backup that backs up to dropbox or Google drive I believe.

OK guys i.'m tying to track down the file or files responsible for saving the programs I choose for my default apps. I am having my settings only stick for around ten minutes. After that time I have to choose my default app if multiple choices exist again.
I have a working theory that my permissions on said file or files are borked and I need to get them setup right again. I think they are not being written to the "save" fle and when the program chosen is killed my choice is killed with it.
I have tried using fix permissions in my recovery to no avail.
I am on MeanRom 2.6 ICS I am s-off with full root access.
Could someone tell me the file or files I should check and what the permissions should be when I look at them?
Thanks for any help,
Adan

I would try a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik-cache, sd-ext, boot) and then flash the ROM again. Some files might have gotten messed up during the flash so it's always best to start with a clean slate
