Noob alert!
From what I heard is that CyanogenMod is one of the best ROMs, that was why I was thinking on installing it.
It is also based on the AOSP which makes the code cleaner with less bloatware I guess.
The problem is that I checked the nightly build known issues FAQ and there is no TV out or encryption, nor BLN, which are all very cool features to me.
1) Can you guys recommend me any other ROMs to look into? (that is CF-root CWM friendly)
2) What other advantages are there to the ROM being forked from AOSP?
3) I have recently used CF-root and have kernel [email protected] #2
Is there any problem in using kTool to flash to a 3.x kernel? Do I need to do anything first?
Thank you for the help.

I've always used which ever Kernel come shipped with the ROM, until FroydVillain 1.5.0 gave the option to download the kernel separately.
I have since learnt that you can pretty much choose any kernel with any ROM as long at its compatible.
What are the rules for this?
How do you know which kernel you can use with which ROM?
Hello everyone!
I have a simple question that I would like to have answered. I'm adept at running custom ROMS on my GTAB, but I've never really messed with kernel stuff before.
There isn't exactly a 'topic' that deals with this, and pershoots website doesn't have that much detail either.
So I would like to know what kernel would be the best for me to run.
I've got VEGAn-Tab GingerEdition running and I just installed pershoots 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod and it should be the ginger edition
Is this the right kernel or should I be running another?
Thanks
There are basically two kernels that are being actively supported on XDA, pershoot's and clemsyn's (clemsyn has several kernels out, but they're all just slight variations on the same kernel). If you want to overclock above 1.4GHz and/or adjust the voltage settings, then you should try clemsyn's. If not, then stick with pershoot's. It's what I use. It's what most of the devs on here include with their ROMs. For me, it seems to run better with less work. But try them both out for yourself and see what you like better. That's the only way you can really know if you're running the "right" kernel.
Also, pershoot just updated his kernel to 3.6.32.40, if you want the latest version.
Froyo use clemsyn. Gb use pershoot. Jmho...
Hey Thanks! This stuff gets quite confusing.
Another question here. I have installed Roms but how do we install a Kernel? Do we install prior to the Rom?
Thanks in advance
I've tested out every version.
1- froyo -->clemsy
2- ginger --> pershoot
3- flash kernel as you would with any other zip file. Do not use calk wipe all zip.
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
Ditschi
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
Is there a matrix of compatible baseband/kernel/ROM configurations? I tried using sirkay's boot_9.587c - ICS - xKernel v9.587-C, flykernel0_6, and flykernel0_8, but they all caused reboot cycle (bootloop) with CM9.1 FXP 142.
I had to extract boot.img out of the FXP zip file and flash that kernel to successfully load up CM 9.1. Incidentally that kernel version is 2.6.32.9-FXP. FWIW, I was upgrading from CM7.2 RC1, updated baseband from D-64 to G-77 before flashing kernel and then CM 9.1.
Ideally I want to use the fastest kernel out there compatible with CM9.1, and one with Linaro would be ideal. Any suggestions?
Am I missing something, there's a whole topic specifically for questions ... [HELP] Q&A Thread - MUST POST ALL QUESTIONS HERE [ 1 2 3 ... Last ]
...I'm new here but it seems some people either can't read or just cba.
Yes there is Q&A thread!
Anyway for CM based ROMs you have to use CM kernel otherwise you got bootloop... i've heard AOSP/AOKP is compatible but i never tried it myself
Hi,
Should be a fairly easy quick question
I'm running Siyah 1.8 Kernel on my phone to have dual-boot, which I really like as I can use a lightweight ROM for gaming and things and also have my stock features to hand as well.
However have decided I have tired of Stock and would like to use CyanogenMod JB 4.2 as my primary ROM and stick with my current WanamLite as secondary.
Are there any issues with flashing a new Primary ROM with CWM and keeping the 2nd ROM as it is?
Thanks

The Siyah thread gives you instructions on how to flash CM 4.2. If I remember well you can only have it as 2nd ROM (??). If so, than you can just select in STweaks to boot always into 2nd ROM for instance. To keep your WanamLite version, just swap 1st & 2nd ROM.
