Kernal for both GingerB and stock? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi all,
we used to be able to switch between roms with the same kernal. There are so many roms and kernals I don't know is there a kernal we can use with the latest MiniCm 2.1.7 and stock 2.1?

MiniCM7 need nAa kernel, and we know that nAa is kernel for custom GB rom
for stock 2.1, I just try ZP kernel, and I think kernel for both MiniCM7 and stock is not yet build

Thanks for the info.
Only on rare cases do I need something from the stock ROM and sometimes if things go wrong I might need to go back to that ROM for a moment, but I miss having one kernal for both...it was so easy to switch.
I can't complain though, the dev on the newer roms is just brilliant.

If you try to use ZP kernel with stock 2.1 eclair, you will not be able to use your touch screen. Modules are not same for GB and stock ROM.

[SOLVED][Q] Custom kernel for Rdannar Overdrive series 2.3.4 GB

Hey guys, i flashed rdannar's MIUI 2.3.4 ROM,
Its fantastic, i find it faster than J's 2.3.3 when you add th appropriate build.prop tweaks.

However the link in second post he gave us; the wifi fix kernel K010 is not K010, wifi is not working, instead it displays as
2.6.29FreeXperia-b8

Wifi is not working. It was fine until i flashed the kernel he gave.
Any ideas, like what other link to K010 that will work on this ROM?
I just don't want to brick my phone if i use wrong kernel like the TripNkernel, it bricked on this ROM.
Issue SOLVED,

Flash via Freexperia recovery.
May I ask on advantage of installing a custom kernel? It removes frame cap, but 30 fps is IMO enough and wouldnt it drain the battery faster? Are there any other advantages?

[Q] Rom and kernel version.

Hi,
I just flash my S2 to MIUI 1.812, can I upgrade my kernel to speedmod k1-t22 ? Thanks!
You can use any kernel.

Just want to tell you, yes, I can install any kernel on any roms, but it may cause some problems, especially like the 2.3.5 rom.
I tested, whatever I apply speedmod k1-t22 or ninphetamine 2.0.5 on MIUI 1.8.12, also got a strange problems: the screen will keep jump back to lock screen within 3-5 seconds. The phone also becomes very heat after applied these kernel. Only the original kernel work fine with MIUI 1.8.12. Do you know what is the issue?
Its true that some kernal may not work to well with some roms.the ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernal will heat up as it is over-volted or something like that.the 2.0.2 kernal is more battery friendly and doesnt heat up as much.chainfire is always a good one too cos they stay close to standard but give you root and cwm too

Multi Boot/Custom ROMs - Advanced users only plz

Hi All,
I searched the forums and though this question has been asked couple of times, I failed to get a satisfying and consolidated answer, so seeking a solution here.
Scenario: X10i, 2.3.3 Stock, rooted using aZuZu. Self-customized framework-res.apk and SemcUxpRes.apk and a truckload of apps. Poor battery life, slightly laggy.
I am equally drawn towards CM7 as well as Wolfbreak 4. I know that both are completely different flavours, but much as I love the Cyanogen innovations, so do i love the tweaks done in WB's ROM with minimal changes to the UI.
Questions:
When I backup my current ROM using xrecovery, what all elements get backed up? More precisely, if I make a backup of my stock ROM using xRecovery, will it backup all the installed apps, conntacts, messages and appdata?
If I restore this backup at a later date, will I be able to get back my phone in the same state as it was backed up? (e.g. I am on level 14 on angrybirds and I made a backup, wiped my phone, and then restored the backup, will I have to start Angrybirds afresh or I can continue from where I left off, as though nothing had happened?)
Is it possible to have multiboot on the X10? So that Everytime I boot up, I can choose whether I want to load the CM7 ROM or the WB4 ROM?
Thanks in advance.
1 yes, the things you mentioned will be backed up (but not the baseband & the kernel)
2 yes, you can play angry birds from where you left off (but as I said you can't backup/restore baseband & kernel)
3 no, not yet. Before official gb there was a solution for dual booting a 2.1 rom with a 2.2/2.3 rom, but I believe dual booting two 2.3 roms is not possible for now

Thanks for that! Just a couple of doubts here:
As you mentioned, the BB and kernel wont be backed up. How exactly will that affect my device? Will it lead to any compatibility issues if I restore to a backed up ROM?
Do I need to keep a note of the Baseband and Kernel versions of all the ROMS which I intend to flash, and flash the corresponding bb & kernel versions prior to recovering a backed-up ROM? To be more clear, supposing I am on bb .71 and kernel 2.6.29, and I flash a new ROM with a different kernel. If I wish to go back to stock by recovering my backup, will I have to flash the bb .71 and 2.6.29 kernel again?
I noticed Woflbreak's ROM uses kernel version 2.3, but I am on a different kernel version (2.6.29). Do I need to downgrade to 2.3 kernel before using the WB ROM? Won't an older version of the kernel cause a drop in performance?
well to sum it up yes you need to keep a note of kernel & baseband for avoiding any compability issue, the kernel part is pretty easy, 2.1 roms all use the same kernel & 2.3 roms another kernel, If you want to go from a 2.1 rom to a 2.3 rom you need to flash the appropriate kernel (& the baseband) with flashtools, but switching from a 2.1 rom to another 2.1 rom or from a 2.3 rom to a 2.3 rom shouldn't be a problem kernel-wise, you just need to pay attention to the required baseband & flash the right one if necessary
what rom are you on?
& by the way 2.3 on Wolfbreak is not the kernel, it's the android version
the bb and kernel are in a 7zip archive linked on the page for wolfs 4.0 along with the newest patch. it explains how to do it all on the page. You must take into consideration when trying a new rom the basebands that it is made for.
Basebands can be found here.
Most newer roms will tell you in the post which baseband you need.
Also see if users post other working baseband versions along with kernel versions. how to use a custom kernel with it and a post explaining custom kernels is here.

[Q] Kernel and ROM compatibility

Ok so i am sure this is noob question I am currently running the latest doom kernel and the T.E.A.M ROM v1.6. My question if I change ROM do I need to go back to the stock kernel first? If so were can I download it i think I found a thread with a list of Kernels once but can't find it again.

[Q] Solved: Kernel and baseband for Wolf Rom

Hi guys
After a while trying to get a ics stable rom, I decided to come back to my old WolfBreak GB ROM.
I made a backup with xrecovery, but I've just know that I have to restore the kernel (and baseband?) too. I tried to download them from the WB rom page, but the link is broken.
Where can I find the kernel? Must I install the baseband too?
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30611479&postcount=4
But I don't know if the kernel for WB Rom is among those...
Thank you for your help!
Edit: I have already found the kernel I wanted, thanks
