Is it possible to pull out the kernel from JT's CM7 and then flash it?
I can't seem to find it in the CM7 rom package, and not even sure if it is possible. Somebody mentioned that it should be titled kernel_update, as that is usually the case, but I can't seem to find that.
I am on the OTB, and I would like to try out the original kernel.
One more thing, in case the kernel cannot be extracted, if I wipe cache and dalvik and then reinstall the rom with no data wipe will I be good? I've never installed a rom without data wipe and I just want to be sure that installing a rom twice on top of itself won't make it have some problems or bog down. If it will, I guess I can just bite the bullet and wipe everything and reinstall to get the kernel.
I reflashed the rom after a cache and dalvik wipe and everything is working great.

I'll give it a shot.
Couple people posted that they thought the included kernel had less hangs than OTB. Anybody have a similar experience?
They are both great kernels but I had to reflash the rom because my phone got stuck in headset mode after the latest voodoo control plus update. I think JT's currently has a few more gpio fixes.
I think your best bet would be to reflash the rom without wiping anything. You would get the original kernel while keeping your settings and data. If you were so technically inclined I believe the kernel is in the boot.img file in the zip but it is above me to try to make that its own flashable file.

i'm looking for well explained tutorial on doing a fullwipe before flashing new rom.
thanks...
What phone and firmware do you have and what rom do you want to flash to it ?
before you flash it, make sure you do a backup of course in case anything goes wrong.
i believe you just need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
Depending on your phone, there are many ways to do a full wipe. You can do it manually in recovery, you could flash Calkulin's format all, or you could flash Virus Rom's superwipe (which is basically calkulin's format all flashed 3 times)
Thanks, I'm using 1.3 leedroid
Flashed withuot a fullwipe

Please forgive the noobish question..this is my 1st android product and I am still learning...
I am currently using Task650's rom version 5 along with the current pershoot kernal....If I want to move to Version 6
1. do i only wipe the delvrik cache,then flash version 6?
2. do I need to reflash the kernal after flashing version 6
3. what is the easiest way to backup all my apps if i have to wipe everything and then put them back?
i am using a rooted 10.6 wifi only...just really trying to get the hang of if there is an order to flashing roms and kernals like if i install a new rom or even update if i have to reflash kernal and reset setcpu?..thanks in advance.
download titanium back up ( free one from market), back up the apps you want
get into CWM, wipe/factory reset, clear cache. clear dalvik, flash, and done.
if you are on pershoot kernel, then you have to reflash the pershoot kernel after you flash V6 because V6 flashes a new kernel.
I usually flash rom first before i flash kernel, since ROM overwrite kernels.
you can just wipe dalvich and cache and you'll be good bro
Awesome, ty Task
I am using the latest Unnamed 1.1.0 ROM and when I use the shutdown feature, the phone will shutdown, but then reboot immediately. For my install I wiped both data cache and delvik cache before installing, however, I didn't flash from a stock 2.3.4 ROM. Since the directions did not say that was needed, is that not the case, or is this a known bug with unnamed 1.1.0?

If you did not flash from stock 2.3.4 rom and you did not flash from the
previous version of the UnNamed rom that means that you forgot to do a
"Wipe data/Factory Reset" in the clockworkmod recovery before flashing
the UnNamed rom.
Your best bet is to reflash the UnNamed rom but this time when you are in
the clockworkmod menu (CWM recovery) select the "Wipe Data/FActory Reset"
before you flash the rom. (you may want to do a titanium backup of your apps first)
Good Luck!
Also, if you install a theme from a different ROM, the shutdown menu may become rearranged or even nonfunctional.
Thanks Misterjunky, I'll give that a try. Coming from the Samsung Captivate I find the new ROM process a little frustrating. I have been using ODIN to flash the Clockwork (CW) Recovery kernel, then install ROMs via the CW menu. Two questions:
-Is the Wipe Data/Factory reset right there next to the devlik/cache clear on the first CW screen or hidden in advanced?
-Is there an easier way to flash ROMs other than pushing the CW kernel via ODIN?

The "Wipe data/factory reset" is in the default screen which you see first.
Also you only need to flash the odin3 kernel once, not everytime you flash a custom rom.
(SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.TAR - kernel).
The reason is, that if coming from STOCK Gingerbread 2.3.4 rom we cannot flash any custom
roms without first flashing the odin flash kernel because the stock rom does not have a CWM
Recovery compatible kernel.
The other kernels you see here in XDA for our phones are CWM flash zipfiles which we can flash
since after flashing the custom odin3 kernel we now have a kernel that has CWM Recovery
built-in which is required for flashing any compatible custom roms, kernels, themes and other
modifications. (Which are all zipfiles ) - I hope this explains it.
Thanks for the info Misterjunky, that helped. Unnamed isn't rebooting on power any more either. Reinstalled, no issues, must've forgotten to clear both options prior to install.
i new to android platform ...switching from iphone. I love android and i dont think i will ever switch back to iOS but i have few questions.
Curently i am running Kyan ROM based on stock ROM.
1. How can i flash only the kernel?
2. All those ROMs do they come with stock kernels?
3. What is a good kernel for GS3?
thank you
Most if not all kernals posted ATM are flashable in cwm. Just put the file into the SD card, boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache partition then use install from sdcard to install the kernal.
I don't know what the best kernal is as you haven't specified what carrier you are on. Just try them and see which you like best. Keep in mind it takes a few days for it to settle correctly
I am on phone so expect errors

have you considered doing a full wipe and flashing the rom again, and fixing permissions or flashing a different rom to see if the audio works?

if the audio worked on one rom and not another, then the system files arent flashing properly.. what recovery are you using.. and like i said have you tried flashing the rom over.. and if so what steps do you take when doing a "full wipe" to flash the rom?

okay, ill say this once again.. *then i think ill add it to my signature*... if you take the proper steps to flash a rom.. make sure that rom is working properly before you do any additional mods to the rom and then say something like the rom is broken or something isn't working../ and also what recovery are you using.. because if your s-on and using any other recovery other than 4EXT your kernel might not flash properly...

i just downloaded fourth bar and its great i love it and everything is working fine i just want to give you a big thanks for everything and for helping me :good:
it's no problem man, i look out for people having issues that i might have had before, or that i already read about somewhere... and yes fourthbar is one of my fav rom's for the amaze so far since its built on cm9 .. but its cool that everythings working once again.. don't forget to make nandroid backups after you flash a rom successfully and before you try and flash another rom
