Has anyone tried installing custom kernel modules on the viewpad 7? I'm likely to need to do this inthe future, and was wondering if it had any bearing on my selection of ROM. Has anyone done this for the default kernel, or will I need one I can compile myself?
Thanks!

I wasn't able to find any posts on this using search (well found some but no answers), are there any kernels for the fascinate with. Loop support?
I am aware that the stock kernel should support it, but stock =fail.
Preferably if anyone knows of AOSP kernels that support it or any froyo kernels?
Thank you!
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
I am new here, and I am very confuse about kernel.
I know what ROM is, and the benefit of custom ROM. But I am not sure about kernel. What is it exactly? Please give me a simple explanation.
Is the kernel included in rom when I install a custom rom?
So if I compare Android to Windows, then different Rom is different version of OS (Windows) with different "theme" right? So what about the kernel? What will it change my Windows if I install different version of kernel?
The kernel is the operating system layer that is between the hardware and the user interface.
When you install a ROM, you will install, at the minimum, a kernel and a system image. Sometimes there will also be a modem, and other additional elements.
You can also install a kernel by itself, as long as it is compatable with the system image.
To understand what a custom kernel modifies on your phone, go to the development forum, and read the OP for several of the kernel threads. Specifically, read the change log which lists the new features as they are added. That will help you understand.
Hi Im trying to educate my self about android os. Correct me if im wrong but what i understand is kernel is to an engine of a car and rom is to body works of the car. In that sense would i be able to use other roms for a certain kernel or does it need to be a specific rom?
It depends on rom "type"...
Some ones provide compiled modules...
Some other ones need modules build from sources...
Generally into the release notes of any roms, there're those things specified...
If not, in the posts of the release...
In Your question, there isn't the firmware (under kernel and rom).
Why?
Cheers,

some kernel works with more than one rom but maybe u will have problem with your operation functions
Hello guys I'm asking you some information about the kernel, I hope this is the right thread.
I'd like to know if I can use use type of kernel for every kind of phone/CPU or if the kernel is based on a specific phone.
My problem is that I have a tablet (cube talk 9x) but I can't find any kernel for it. So can I flash for example the Franco kernel on it?
Thank you very much guys.
