[Q] difference between kernel and rom - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

what is the difference between a kernel and a ROM ?

Did you do a search around the whole xda forum? if you had you would have got some results. well i googled and got one small link from another forum
rom-vs-kernel-vs-bootloader
difference-between-rooting-jailbreak-rom-mod-etc
doubts clear? need more info? read wikipedia

so the most custom roms are build to run on the default kernel ?

we all did (use) so before the devs came up with unlocking and new kernel

i have used megatron and prime rom but now i am using void rom. i made my customization and i use only what i need..
i dont know which rom is the best.. use them and decide..
i think you cant use roms from other phones..
Only use ROMs that have been built for the Optimus One. And IIRC, there is one custom recovery for the OO.
There is no best ROM since the beauty of them is that they are customizable according to your needs. Ask yourself what you want / need from your phone and look at the different ROMs in the Android Development subforum. Choose one from there. There is also a beginner's guide somewhere here that could help you decide.
I'm using void because I dont like the many apps that were preloaded and it has the usual performance tweaks that most ROMs have plus overclocked a bit more that normal.
Please read sticky threads.

[Q] Which ROM do you use?

Hey everybody!
Now as there are a lot of ROMs for our S2 it's quite hard to decide which one to take. To make it easier for someone who's still searching it would be nice to know which ones are the most used ones.
I won't put any versions here, just the main name cause the versions change very fast
So, which ROM do you prefer and are you using at the moment?
Why do you use it?
Double thread, why?

Because he didn't know how/if he could make a poll. It's quite clear if you read the redundant thread
Is there any quick summary of the key features of these kernels? I'm finding the ROM threads a little light in the first post on features and limitations. I know it's subjective, but it would be nice if someone could collect a 2 line summary of each rom. Along the lines of [perf/power] [de/odex] [stock apps/minimal apps]. Also if they are supported only with a specific kernel or not.
leomar for me is the best! if you read the topic of this rom, you will see that the developer is also creating the revolution app...i suggest to stay informed about this rom!
i like cognition S2. always up to date.
Self adapted Cognition 1.2 with added boot /sounds /ringtones/ home brew CSC Hardcores Kernel .

[Q] Android and kernel 3.0.x?

Not sure if this is the proper forum for the question, but since it is a general question, and I did try searching other sub-forums first, here goes. If this belongs in a different sub-forum, would a mod please move it.
I have read/heard of kernel v2.6.x having bugs in it. What are the chances of Android getting kernel v3.0.x? What would need to be done? Is it even feasible? What would be the pro/con of building a v3.0.x kernel? Would our phones perform better or worse with v3.0.x?
I've seen experimental roms with kernel 3.0 but unfortunately not for my DHD, don't ask me where and for what phone I don't really remember
google it, I'm sure you'll find it.. (also I don't know what changes brings along )
It will longer the battery life, i read somewhere. But i saw 3.0 kernel only on galaxy nexus for now. Waiting too
just buy smartphone with ICS and test it ))) There is 3.* kernel

First, questions are not encouraged in General Section. Read rules before doing some action.
Second, have you read OP of that kernel you want to install? If no, then read it
If yes, then follow it
Third, There is no best mod. Some may like one and some may another.
Fourth, kernels are in development section, go and read the thread, you'll know how to do it

- Kernel -

Hello XDA Developers users,
Recently, I've been asking myself as I can't find the difference between kernels and ROMS.
I can flash ROMS and have a stable ROM as always, but what's the kernel? Is the kernel a second type of ROM? Can I flash kernels instead of ROMS? Is the kernel an extra 'thing' that can be added to specific ROMS?
I'm sorry for asking this silly question, I'm new.
A simple search in the XDA forum came up with this:
