Removing kernels - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to remove a kernel such as glitch or Bali without reflashing rom?

You could find out what the kernel the rom you flashed came with and search in development for it inside the bible. Download it and flash in clockwork. Think you wipe davlik and fix permissions after flash. you can flash new kernels on top of old ones won't change your rom.

Use sgs kernel flasher from the market. Back up your current kernel and flash whatever one you want. Just make sure its compatible with your rom and you should be good to go. Only takes 2min and you'll be done. Good luck!

It doesn't hurt but I never did. Just flash the kernel and let your phone reboot.

I'm not sure if you can install it with the stock recovery because I use the ClockworkMod. You should just get Rom Manager from the market and flash it. It's simple. For Ext2 you can use it on a stock kernel fine with OCLF in the market. For Voodoo (Ext4) you need to flash a kernel that comes with it on a Rom that supports it. Like Bionix.

Whoops. Learn something new everyday. It didn't work for me on stock JI6 though, so I figured you needed a compatible ROM.

If you downloaded it from the team whiskey website, it should come with the kernel designated by the name of the file (Stock, JAC, or KK). If that's the case, you don't have to flash a kernel separately.
All Bionix roms come in kernal flavors....they are built into the roms themselves.
Pick the version you want--BE CAREFUL OF VOODOO--for future flashes you will need to disable it. Don't forget or you will be in a world of hurt to fix it.

I have been told that yes, the nandroid backup will backup the kernel as well. My wife's vibrant has the hardware lock fix and it didn't overwrite it when I flashed Bionix 1.9.1 so I would assume you won't lose the fix either, just try to get into recovery or download mode via hardware after the flash to see if it stuck.

How do you pull a kernel off a rom?

I'm running bionix v and I flashed Eugene's newest kernel and I would like to go back to the kernel that was on bionix v without having to reinstall the entire rom... how can I get the kernel off the rom?
Go to bionix v thread there is a down load link to stock kernel

Help flashing a new kernal

I flashed Bionix 1.3.1 and noticed that there are a few app's (like the bln and voodoo control)
I was wanting to flash the overclocked kernal to mess around with those apps. I've got it downloaded and its on my phone.
Do I just flash the kernal like i would flash a theme or a rom. Do I have do disable anything like voodoo.

Yes, to the first part of your question. No, to the second part of your question as long as you choose a kernel with voodoo LF already enabled.

You got it, just flash it like you'd flash a rom.
Better read each kernel's OP. But you can flash any kernels listed in Bionix-v 1.3.x (overstock.., categorically.., dragon, DOW) on top your ROM's kernel with voodoo enabled without disable it. But if you want to flash Dead Horse kernel, you should prefer to disable voodoo or any lagfixes before, and then you can configure again later to ext4, jfs, or other. Otherwise you may experience strange self reboot, wipe SD and abrupt broken user apps, as i did. Anyway, all have BLN and voodoo sound as you expected.
Good luck.
Thanks all for the info flashed the overstock kernal in like 5 seconds (minus the boot time) with no hiccups
So what exactly does a kernal do to the phone?

Kernel deals with low level operations on the phone - it's like an interface between the rest of the android system and the phone hardware. That's why you need a new kernel for things like BLN.

I have another kernal related question
I want to flash a new rom (trigger by edt) I currently am using Bionix 1.3.1 and i currently have the overstock 2.0 kernal installed
My question is do I just flash the rom over the kernal or are there special steps involved.
Smells like WINNING from my T-959 xda premium app

if you flash a new ROM....

will you have to reflash the oc kernel you put on your old one? my thoughts are yes, just want confirmation.

It depends if the ROM includes a kernel or not. Check the OP of the ROM you want to flash.
