why is it that i can't find any roms that have both a custom kernal and a fully working camera. Also, why do none of the new roms (since 2.3.3) have custom kernals?

custom kernel require a module to be compiled against the existing kernel and hence people are not able to provide custom kernel till we get source code from SE.

Hello
I'm new to this...
I was wondering if I can install the SpeedMod Kernel on my SGS2??
Why this Question:
When I rooted my decive with cf-root and odin I have chosen the Kernel with the same "version" my stock kernel had.
Now I'm not sure if I can install any sgs2 kernel (in this case SpeedMod) or if the "version" is important.
I think that all SGS2 Phones should have the same hardware so I sould be able to use any Kernel. Is that right?
What do I have to be aware of, when I choose a new kernel?
Thanks

Yes you can, don't worry about it. Versions don't care much after all.
Thanks a lot thought that. I'll flash he kernel tomorow.
But what im interested in:
When you say the version doesn't matter why are there so many versions of cf-root? Is'nt that a lot of extra work? Why not useing only one kernel?
Cheers

That's for people who want to stay as close as possible to stock.
The developers compile their kernel to work with any Samsung or TouchWiz based rom.
CF Root extracts the kernels from the specific rom, adds in the goodies and presents it to us for use to root the respective rom. So basically what you have is the stock kernel with root added among other things
ah ok...
That makes sense. Thanks a Lot for the help
So what are your opinions on stock vs custom ROMs?
I generally use custom roms. Are stock ROMs considered to be more stable and bug free?
I find Cyanogen usually has some bugs
Too soon to say, it will take a while untill we can get some stable roms.
I always was happy with cyanogen mod on the i9000, it was running smoother and in case of cm7 even had vorher battery life than stock roms. However the problem with cm always was that we never got a final build, cm7 is outdated already and cm9 is running on most cm'd devices and cm7 is at rc3 now. But i am pretty sure i will give cm a try again when it will be available for the g3.

is it true that custom roms begin to lagg after a while ? and more and more ram is used ? i only need boeffla sound mod , if i stay with stock sammy and boeffla kernel its as stable as pure stock?
After trying most of the ROMs here i can honestly say that in most cases sammy based roms are more stable and provide better battery life. Personally I don't like the touchwiz interface... it all depends if you're willing to sacrifice battery and go with something different like MIUI.

You could try perkas kernel, virtually stock, but latest has boeffla
Hey, i've flashed cwm on my tablet recently but i dont know what to do now. I have the android 2.3 installed and i want to install ICS, my device is not/was not supported by the recovery, can i install any ICS on the forum? Do i need a specific one? Should i make my own port?
Also, i was able to root the device (the gingerbreak reboot) and i have access to / and was able to install CWM but most apps say i dont have root, is there anything i can do?
First rule is u never ever, ever install anything not for your device. Doing so, probably a hardbrick is waiting along the corner.
So, even if i install CWM i wont be able to install any ROM? Cant i just pick a ROM for other device and port it?
yes u can port a rom from another device if the the original device got almost identical hardware to yours. but that is not an easy job.
or u could build rom from source if u capable of, more chance of fixing bugs than ported rom. cm source is freely available on github, cm9 to be precise if you're looking into getting ics rom. cm7 (gb) would be easier because u already got stock gingerbread rom.

Hi guyz,
I have simple question here..Im using ST15I - unlocked - rooted- with custom kernel and ROM..I want to know that is it possible to flash a custom kernel and the stock rom..?
Is battery life depends on the kernel or the Rom.?
Because every custom ROM which I tested was good...but after few days it gave me problems like getting slow,Force close,freezing touch screen,stuck menu's,..etc.
So I wonder if there any chance to use a stock rom with a custom kernel for better performance..?
tnx
Sure, there is an option to use stock ROM and custom kernel, but they have to be compatible. I'm afraid any of CM kernels will work on stock ROM, but there's plenty of options - Lupus ICS, Extended stock kernel, MESA etc. And yes, battery life depends on kernel. Some of them are battery friendly, some of them not. But in general any custom kernel should work at least the same time as stock one (from my experience).
Bt battery life is also depended on ron, apps,3g, wifi and usage and a bunch of other things and yes depended on kernel too.
Yes stock rom and custom kernel can be done if they are compatible

Thank you gyz.....
Hi all,
I want to know if a rom always contains a new kernel and can you change the kernel without changing to another costum rom?
I'm sure most ROMs come with a kernel that is tweaked, at least a little. That doesn't necessarily mean it will support oc/uc. and yes you can flash a kernel, if compatible with you ROM, at your leisure.
there is no spoon.....
Almost all roms come with a kernel of some type, but I feel like I remember seeing a rom a few months ago that didn't come with any kernel, so you had to flash one right after you flashed the rom before booting up (that's what the dev said if I'm remembering right, I didn't flash the rom).
And yes, you can flash any kernel at any time as long as it is compatible with your device/rom.
Well... if the ROM doesn't contain a kernel (that's kind of common) your previous kernel is retained.
This applies specifically to stock-based ROMs
