hi. i just want to ask these 2 questions.
question 1:
can i flash over a new rom over my bionix 1.3.1 running bali kernel 1.8.8? i would like to try an ics rom if it will do me good.
question 2:
if i switched to another rom, what will happen to my kernel? will there be incompatibility issues? however im planning to change the kernel if ever. can it also just be flashed over bali 1.8.8?
thanks.
Yes can flash on top might have to flash twice. Wipe is recommended.
Roms usually include kernel so don't have to worry about kernel. Btw 2.2 kernels like bali 1.8 would be in incompatible with 2.3 ics and aosp kernels

Just want to add: Make sure to read the install instructions before you flash and it's a good idea to read the entire thread so you know what issues you might have. You should also know how to recover your phone should something go wrong.
In addtion, make a nandroid back up before you do anything, just in case you bork something and have to go back.

Hey, I am an armature on flashing Kernals, and by that I mean I never did it before. I know how to flash a ROM and I am good at that.
I want to the flash Bionix1.3 with KingKlicks kernal. I know how to flash it, but reverting back is going to be a problem for me.
I found the stock kernel, from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733792
My question is, when going back to stock, do I flash this through Odin? Do I flash it while using Bionix? Or do I flash stock, then use odin?
Yes I searched, and searched. No threads really ask this.
and thank you whom ever posts.
Oh, and one more question, which is better? KingKlicks or Vodoo OC?

kopykatkiller had a Clockwork Kernel installed. He was able to use Odin to flash back to a *stock* kernel.

^Hope that helped, it was posted by the OP on that thread..
KingKlicks vs Voodoo = That's your preference, I use Jacs..
Okay, do I do that while on Bionix, or flash stock rom via clockwork, then use odin to replace the kernel?
Really need help guys. Normally I don't double post, but I would like to get a answer ASAP. I am not someone who makes 10 topics on each sub forum...
kingclick vs. voodoo is by preference..
as to installing stock kernel.. what you need to look for is a kernel that's able to flash thru clockworkmod.. or you can just flash bionix1.3 without the kingclick or voodoo... are you having problem with the kernel that you have right now? my rule is if it's not broken, dont fix it..
Okay thanks.. I am installing Kingklick right now.. If I go back I will flash Bionix w/ regular kernel then.
Question....as well
I really want to try out a couple different custom roms, but I'm not sure if just using clockwork/nandroid is all you need to revert back to rooted stock completely. What I mean by that is, will my phone be recovered to what it was before flashing using clockwork/nandroid restore system, will it actually flash it back? Or is it just made for recovering when screwing up stock itself?
I'm a little confused, please help!
does anyone here uses a custom rom with a stock kernel? will it still be good? i really do want to flash but i don't want things to get complicated. i just want to speed up the phone.
and with stock kernel everything is simple right? just flash the rom and use it, no other things needed.
I am one of the unlucky people that have a vibrant that cant handle an OC/UV kernel. So yes, every time I flash a custom rom, I flash a stock kernel. Generally speaking most roms I use ( bionix and master ) barely increase the benchmark scores of stock tw... though they do feel snappier because these rom chefs spend alot of time in polishing the user interface... if you want to make your device faster, try rooting it and installing a lag fix. If you have any other questions be sure to click the red text in my Sig.
You do not need a lag fix... too many issues stem from this.

i already flashed a fusion 1.1 stock kernel. i'm satisfied already.
Awesome, just making sure. I didn't agree with the lf suggestion.
If you've flashed Bionix Fusion 1.1 with JACS OC/UV ROM from stock, do you need to flash another kernel or does the ROM include the JACs kernel? Without SetCPU do you then run stock benchmarks?
3rd Q, are there issues flashing back to a custom ROM but with the standard kernel?

to your 3rd question, if you have a custom rom with a stock kernel you can flash back to stock rom without problems using odin.
Thanks. Plus found discussion of kernels under Vibrant Q&A under "Bionix fusion 1.1".
Hi all,
I have a few questions now I am running cm7. And I can't find the answers propably because (you're a NOOOB!!!) I lack some basic understanding of the relation between kernels, mods, modems etc.
First the situation: SGS2 (duh) rooted using CF-Root OXA KG3. Flashed CM7 nightly (88 or 89 don't know from the top of my head).
My understanding of the parts is limited to the rom (cm7) is running on top of the kernel. Where the modem fits in I don't know.
Now the questions:
1. Does cm7 have (and am I running) it's own kernel or am I still on CF-Root?
2. If I want to switch to another kernel how would I do it and where can I find kernels working well with cm7? (I know about Swi7chblades thread)
3. Where is the modem for and can I change and improve it? (sorry couldn't find it in the guides nor the glossary on the wiki)
And I thought I had more but will say what pops up when I read your answers.
I think CM7 has a own kernel but i'm not sure
SiyahKernel v2.0 will work for you if you are still running CM7

Yeah I am still running CM7 and plan to stay there until their is either an ICS version or another ICS rom. Thanks for the kernel suggestion will check it out.
edit: SiyahKernel v2.0 looks promising, I'll put it on the list of things to try.
I tried siyah 2.0 stable but it wasn't a success. I ended up going back to stock and flashing cm7 again. On the modem front I flashed to KI4 and things seem a little better. But I still don't really know what to look for. Anyone?
CM7 has the kernel from cyanogen dev codeworkz. I'm using siyah ATM though which is decently stable.

If you want the stock CM7 kernel then just reflash the Ba2tF zip. I'm sure there's a way to extract it, but if you're not sure about undervolting I doubt that's something you want to try.
Faux used to have a 'stock' CM7 kernel for download, but I'm assuming with 3 different betas (and nightlies and weeklies) he removed the link to avoid people downloading something that wouldn't match the CM7 beta version they were on.
Hey guys, I'm not gonna ask the dreaded question "Which Kernal is best?", but I am currently rooted and want to overclock to 1.5, but besides that, what else should I be looking for in a kernal?
What about modems (or is that embedded in the kernal)?
We only have 2 options, Entropy or Siyah and they do not include a modem.
Check the dev section for kernels & modems.

Both kernels we have offer oc abilities.
Personally I would look at stability and battery life but that is just me. Try both and see which suits your needs.
Modems are not associated with kernel and depend on your area. Whichever works the best where you are.
We have two choices here and both are incredibly stable and allow overclocking. You can't go wrong. Basically the biggest difference as far as I can see is the recovery that comes with it which is almost entirely preference.

So if I find a ROM I like but want to experiment with the other available Kernal, is it as simple as flashing my ROM first, then once booted up go into Odin and flash the other kernal i want to experiment with?
Or is the kernal that comes with a ROM the one your stuck with?

Just use CWM to flash the zips provided or Mobile Odin if you prefer it that way.
No need to use a computer to change the Kernel.

Thanks for the quick response chris,
I guess what I'm asking is if I have a rom with the Syiah kernal, is it possible to keep that same ROM but swap kernals, sorry, I just wasn't clear on what your answer meant.
I'm guessing your saying it is indeed possible and just flash the .zip for a different Kernal on top of an already installed ROM.
Sorry, I'm tired...
Changing the Kernel on 2.3.4 & 2.3.6 roms will not break anything.
For CM7, CM9, MIUI etc you have to stick with what is included or see what works with it.

For example, latest Siyah with touch recovery. Awesome for flashaholics.
Your talking of version .14 I assume, if so, doesn't it say in .13 description that .13 would be the last for Gingerbread?
Obviously it works if your using it, so i'm gonna download now...
