So I want to go back to stock (just been getting battery problems in MeanROM) so I downloaded the stock ROM, and the original thread said I can flash the stock kernel. What exactly would that do? And do I need to do it?
Edit: My current Kernel version is 3.08-01680 and my baseband is 1.05.11, is that the original baseband version that came out with 1.22.651.3?

The kernel or boot.img is baked into the rom .zip so just flash as normal it really only changes if you flash one by itself

I've tried to keep my Vibrant as close to stock as possible because I don't want to lose the OTA update capability. I don't want to have to flash to stock via Odin before I update my phone because it is hardware locked. So far, I've only done minor mods (metamorph, removed bloat).
So if I install a custom kernel such as JAC's or KK's overclocked kernels, will I lose the ability to OTA update? Will the update simply overwrite the existing kernel on my phone?

Most likely the devs in this forum will have a working and better version of any OTA you will get. Also when you get the OTA you will loose root and most likely get the bloat back. In my opinion you are better off waiting for one of eugene or bionix roms anyway.
To be more specific, my question is whether updating to any future ROM/OTA update will overwrite the existing kernel, or do I have to flash the stock kernel back before any of this?

You have to flash the stock kernal in order to be able to receive an OTA
Frankin-Twiz Final, awesome
can a stock kernal be flashed right over a custom kernal? (jac oc/uv)

I think so, unless you have any kind of lagfix installed. I say so because I have flashed ROMS like Bionix (which has its own kernel) over stock and vice versa. MAKE SURE NO LAGFIX IS INSTALLED!
is there a link for a stock kernel that can be flashed through clockwork recovery as a zip without ODIN?
Im assuming there is as I flashed the OC/UV Jac kernel though clockwork, so assuming that stock should be able to be flashed through clockwork.
Thanks
EDIT:
Can someone confirm that this is the stock kernel that can be flashed through clockwork? If I flash this (just stay rooted and with mobile AP) I should go back to be able to receive OTA updates, correct (I have not flashed any custom roms, just kernel)??

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.
I'm trying to flash a stock Rom onto my GS2 but i have a question. Does each ROM include a kernel with it or do i have flash a kernel first and then a rom? And does each kernel have certain roms that go with it or can i flash mix-and-match different kernels and roms?
Are you talking about stock roms or the modded ones in the dev section? Each rom does have a kernel that goes with it, however i wouldn't flash a 2.3.3 kernel on a 2.3.5 firmware.
In any case, the kernel has to be flashed at last, after the ROM
I'm talking about stock roms. My phone is on 2.3.4. If i flash a ROM, do i have to flash a kernel?

No, they already come with one.
I already have CF-Root kernel and CyanogenMod 7 on my phone. I'm looking for to flash the official ICS, but should I flash a NEW stock kernel for ICS? Should I go back to my GB stock kernel before doing that? Thanks a lot, guys!

There should be instructions on whatever page you download the ICS you intend to install from... Right? Follow them.
If you will push Android 4.0.3 or other Custom ROM on your current set up, it will over write your entire OS.
It's necessary to update the lastest baseband when flashing custom roms like LineageOs or DotOS or they already ship the lastest baseband with the release?
If i need to flash the upgraded baseband myself, where can i find the lastest one?
Thanks.
same question here..
Baseband is normally never included in a custom rom. You have to flash it by yourself. And yes, it is recommended to use the latest baseband to improve fingerprint accuracy on custom roms.
I will upload it for you in a few minutes, stay tuned.
Edit: Here it is.

Thanks for the link. I appreciate it!
I only need to flash this once after flashing the custom rom and never more, right? Only do it again if there's another update.
Yup, that's right. The baseband stays until you flash another one.
