I am using optimus one p500 with android 2.2.2 kernel version 2.6.32.9.
I want to increase the speed of cpu. I have rooted my phone and heard by applying kernel file increases ur performance.
I am new to this can any 1 tell me the procedure to install custom kernel?
And yes i dont want to install custom rom.
root it, install recovery, pick a kernel, flash it through recovery..done!

do i need to manually update the baseband of my phone? or each kernel/ROM has differrent baseband? help me plz
if a different baseband is required for a certain rom then this will usually be posted on the first page..
just check requirements of the custom rom first.
custom kernels - official ftfs
i just wanted to know if there're any risks of flashing ftfs while using a custom kernel. for example, i installed a custom kernel (Rage something) which only supports stock ROMs. i have a LWW which had .62 baseband. i downgraded it to .42 for rooting and all that. now, will my phone get bricked or something if i flash a different ftf, official or otherwise? (for instance, like the one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605150) the thread has .70 baseband, but as far as i know, latest officially released by SE is .62, so is this a custom one? also, how do i root .62? i have already unlocked the bootloader.
also, if it's not too much trouble, can u pls explain the architecture? as far as i can understand, Kernel and ROM are parts of the OS, rite? so what's the baseband (firmware), considering these are all software components?
just checked the link that you have posted. this is the ported official ICS rom.
that rom has its own kernel.
flashing it to your current kernel would brick the phone.
also there will be big differences because you currently have GB (Gingerbread).
baseband is the radio firmware, that is for the phone signal. this will be region dependent.
so, the baseband is the ftf thing, rite? but ppl were saying that .58 (in LWW) had some bugs like repeated rebooting of the phone, and that .62 fixed this bug and also improves battery life.
also, i repeatedly flashed many kernels into my phone. i mean, every time i tried a new ROM, i had to install the kernel provided with it (like FXP 115, or the one provided with the rom, the boot.img), over the already existing kernel, but i had no problems. so when does the risk of bricking come into play? i couldnt really understand what u meant by, "that rom has its own kernel. flashing it to your current kernel would brick the phone."
and yeah, i tried some ICS roms, like these:

CM 7.2 RC0 coconut
each had its own problems, so i reverted back to stock. but gotta admit, the CM9 android 4.0 UI was really awesome compared to GB
when i was using .58fw, did not encounter the automatic restart.
never noticed that much difference also after upgrading to .62
this is the build or sw version of the rom.
the baseband is independent from this build of the rom.
you are doing it correctly, flashing the required kernel for each rom.
if you would just flash new rom over any kernel would result to bootloops.
bricking is really minimal and there are still ways to fix it,
it is rare that changing roms and kernel causes permanent brick unless there was already a hardware problem to begin with.
im also checked this roms but haven't installed them yet.
will stick with hybrom for now,
hi,
i have a new sg2 i9100 version witch came with 4.04 and no brick bug as reported the emmc.
i am searching for days and i am a bit confused .i am not familiar with that kind of softwares and i would like your help.
the goals: i want to root, and to be able to flash any rom i want.
1)if i understand so far i will need a kernel too?
2)i do not have the knowledge to understand what varius kernels offer and i simply choosed the siyah since it is the most popular(??) the s6 version states "This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM (No ICS support anymore).
that means that my ics 4.04 will not be accesible and working anymore and i should flash a rom imidiately after the kernel flash?i do not mind to flash rom imediately after siyah kernel since i do not have anything instaled on the phone yet.
is it posible?with odin?1.86 , 3.04?
3)after the siyah kernel flash from the oficial siyah site , do i have root?
4)do i have cwm? if not what do i need to do?
5) is the siyah consider safe kernel?
thanks
i apreciate your help.

Frist root your phone, everything will be explained in the thread. Check FAQ
If you don't know what you are doing, don't flash siyah and stay with the kernel that gets installed when flashing the rom you want.
Flash a custom kernel with Odin. Another Siyah kernel than v6 will do, just check the changelog.
You will have root, CWM and you're able to flash custom roms. You can choose to try other kernels than the one that comes with a rom, but it's not a must.
And the person above is right: If you don't fully understand all this, try to learn a little bit more. It will prevent you from doing something wrong.
Good luck.

Just for those like me. The ones that want to stay on stock Xperia ROM but benefit from custom kernels.
So at this time there is no need or reason to unlock bootloader if you want to use stock Xperia ROM and flash custom kernel, since there are close to or just none for the current stock ROM. For older versions there is one...doom kernel, but seems like that one will most likely stay withot support...
So for stock don't bother
Hi all
So unless CF-Root comes out for 5.1.1 (which i doubt if Chainfire is willing to do it or if it can be done), there won't be any rom with stock kernel which will be rooted from the beginning, right?
Thanks
this will never happen again..also if cf root comes again..Samsung changed the security and the changed things in the kernel is the only way for normal root..
