I am still somewhat new to the Thunderbolt root, rom world. I now know current roms are radio specific and would like to know if the same goes for kernels? I am currently running LTS v1.7 and see kernels for Froyo based roms but does this mean all mr versions?
No, only froyo or gingerbread and sense or aosp

No, kernels are not radio specific.
There are two groups for kernels:
Froyo and Gingerbread
For each of those groups, there are two sub groups:
Sense based ROMs, and AOSP based ROMs
So if your running a froyo sense ROM, you'll need a froyo sense kernel.
Hope that helps.
That is mostly true. The newest base for builds of gingerbread don't play well with the current selection of custom kernels. You'll get goofy stuff like quirky WiFi or an upside down camera. Read the OP. The dev will usually tell you what kernel will work with what.

Hi guys! I need tour advice. I want to bring this htc sence and all htc softaware on my hero to hell, and i need some advice about custom rom.
What of all custom rom's don't include this creepy htc software and work nice w/o bugs and so on?
Hi. Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
You will have to look on the AOSP - no Sense ROMs.
Gingerbread ROMs are still Beta, but 2.2 ROMs have everything working fine and are really fast.
Elelinux gingerbread rom is really the best IMHO now try it out from the developement threads
Agree on using elelinux gingerbread now starting to prefer the stock ROM (though need to use a dialler replacement!)
I'm running Free X10 at the moment. I've been away for abotu a month and just checked the dev forum which appears to be swamped with roms and other things...
So... which is the latest, stable rom with a fully working camera and camcorder please (i.e. which rom should I be using to keep full functionality of my phone)?
Welp if you woulda asked yesterday i woulda recommened Trips MIUI but im gonna have to go with wolfbreaks ROM or Z's 2.2 if you want a smooth and complete ROM. Both are basically almost 100% stable.
There are a few 2.2 roms. I've only really used wolfbreaks and kxhawkins, both are stable, with full functionality. rdannar has a stable 2.3.3 rom(which I'm currently using as my baseband is 54 and don't want to change), very fast and stable but, as with all 2.3 roms, no camera.
I would have suggested tripnraver miui, but it seems to have gone missing

It basically depends on what type of rom you want.
2.1 roms
2.2 roms
2.3 roms
MIUI is the way to go if you like iphone like style. Currently you have few versions floating around and one of the best MIUI roms is not available anymore. These MIUI ROMS are again based on 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 versions of android. 2.3 is the lastest and greatest and is lamost fully working when it comes to MIUI. I think the one you can get from forum is rdannar's and formels and rdanner's MIUI roms
If you want the Android like roms, then there are lots of 2.1 roms are floating around. If you want to be with stock SE features along with a nice root and camera, then 2.1 rom is the way to go
2.2 roms which were intermediate (intermediate because now we have 2.3 roms) which was originally unstable but now is 100% stable thanx to all our important developers which may not (or may ) have all the SE features.Once you step to 2.2 and above roms, you will lose the SE syncml options (the one which syncs to SE site) and you will be dependent on the google sync mostly. Wolfbreaks and Rendiero's roms were extremely popular in 2.2 roms
2.3 roms which is the latest and greatest of all but not many roms to choose from. We have SuperAOSP, SuperARc and now HD MIUI from rdannar, Cyanogenmod7 from Jerpelea which are popular but you have many new chefs now so you can expect to see more ROMS
I am not biased towards any developer. I just look at the way the ROM functions and also these are my views. So dont use this as means of fighting. I personally like Android based style more than iphone style so i have tried only one or two MIUI roms so far (One was Trips MIUI and the other was formel's by rdannar (i think) were very stable and fun to use)
But personally, I like Android style a lot. So i was always juggling between Wolfbreak's and Scamble's rom before i completely shifted towards 2.3 roms.
Now i juggle between CM7 from J, SuperAOSP and SuperARC with greater affinity towards SuperAOSP since i find it very stable
Cobrato's 2.2 MIUI is awesome you should try it
I'm currently on:
Software: LeeDrOid_Flyer_HC_V2.0.0
ROM 3.55.405.1 CL205068 release-keys
Kernel 2.6.35.14-LeeDrOid-Flyer-HC-V2.1.0--g832a631
Boot S-OFF, Clockworkmod recovery 4.0.1.4
Thanks
Why don't you just take a look in Development and judge for yourself? There aren't that many. I think its just Dexter's ICS and JB, and a couple other ICS ROMs. The threads say what does/does not work, etc.
It also depends on what you consider "stable". All of them have some hardware issues. But whether that prevent you from using them as a daily driver, depends on your personal wants and needs. I think Dexter's are the furthest along, as he got the pen working.
I get that Kernels are moreso the inner workings, and a lot of ROMS have different kernels for whatever, but I'm wondering if you can juts flash differnet KERNELS to your phone without changing anything else to add funcitionality. I ask this because I am thinking of working on some WiFi cracking tools, but need a kernel that will support it. I noticed a lot of mention of changing to the wrong kernel f'ing your phone also, so is the kernel backed up with a NANDROID BACKUP or is that off in it's own partition, etc. or how does that work? I am thinking to put the CM kernel on my EVO 4G LTE.
You can change kernels but the base needs to match. GB with GB, JB with JB, AOSP with AOSP, SENSE 1.22 with SENSE 1.22, SENSE 2.13 with SENSE 2.13
My kernel shows as:
kernel
3.0.8-01360-g3fd0422
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
I know it's stock, so should be ICS I reckon. Can that be changed to he CM kernel or can I only use other ICS kernels, cause I read elsewhere people using CM kernels on evo 4g lte. or does that pend on the version of the phone you have?
You can't use just the cm kernel, it's AOSP it will only work with JB AOSP
I am new to this phone as it was my best option at the time to use on page plus. I need a stable phone so I don't care about ICS or JB. Is there a heavily debloated stock 2.3.4 rom available for this phone? I cannot find what I am looking for on here.
The best Gingerbread ROMs this phone has is CM7 and Eclipse. Although Eclipse is based on 2.3.5 and you will have to update to that version first. Both ROMs are pretty stable.
