What is a Cubed Kernel? Is it the one that came with Droid DNA? I see version 2.4.2 floating around. Mine is 3.4.10.

You have to have a rooted phone to flash kernels. The Cubed kernel is a modified kernel for root users that gives you the ability to overclock your phone, better battery life and such. It is not the one that came with the DNA, the DNA is the stock kernel from the factory. Don't go by the numbers you see because they are 2 totally different kernels for totally different reasons...

I did root my phone through a very convoluted method involving imei numbers etc. I flashed the boot.ini and the cubed kernel yesterday and was able to verify it. I did not reset factory or anything when I flashed the kernel. Now it has restarted by itself for more than 50 times in 12 hours. I am trying to find the stock kernel.
Have anyone faced the same issue?:crying:

I get random restarts as well on Cubed Kernel - untouched, didnt even change the governors. I guess a lot more optimizing needs to be done to it to support the variations in our devices.

This is the stock kernel but just modified to be able to write to the system while booted. It basically is the stock kernel and will work exactly like the stock kernel does. To switch kernels, just do what you did before when you installed the kernel you're on now. Just make sure you flash the correct module zip in recovery after you flash it.

Chill brotha. He's asking for when it should be flashed for proper usage. Not what it is..
I believe it should be used prior to flashing a new kernel. Also when changing ROM's which also contain a different kernel.

Well you do sound like one, I did read it and didn't say when exactly you were to use it. SO then, use it ONLY when changing kernels. So if you flash a new rom, then you do or dont use it? Only if youre running a rom, but decide to go to another kernel?

I think you're on the right track:
1) use prior to flashing a new kernel
or
2) use prior to flashing a new ROM if that ROM uses a different kernel than what you are currently using

Thanks that is what i thought, or at least figured out with your guys help. Just didnt know if it was useful in the middle of running a rom. i.e I just flashed the Siyah kernel to Miui yesterday, would this help me today, that kind of deal. So with that thinking, if I wanted to use this tool right now, I would run it, then flash the Siyah kernel again afterwards. Now, what about, when you restore a rom? I am about to put Shostock back, do I run this tool before restoring?
well, I restored, rebooted, then boot back into cwm, flashed the cleaner, then flashed the kernel I wanted, then rebooted.

Is this something that would need to be done if flashing a different iteration of the same kernel? Siyah 2.6.1 to 2.6.3 for example?

Depends on the kernel... If it puts crap in init.d or elsewhere on the system, then yes.
Note that it may also clobber stuff your firmware dev intentionally put into init.d - I believe gtg has a zipalign script along with a script to set the CPU governor to ondemand in Unnamed.

I gather you just edited the script form the I9100 forums this thread samsung ultimate kernel cleaning script posted by buster041284... yes?
The scripts are very similar. Yours recursively deletes everything in the init.d folder and script posted by buster041284's version deletes specific files in the init.d folder.
I believe cleaning up scripts from Siyah's kernel prior to (re)installing Entropy's kernel is the only reason for us I777 folks to use the scripts.. . right?
Wouldn't you want to only kill those files vice every script in the entire folder?

Most cleaning scripts are about the same. I actually got the idea from the captivate forums back when it was my primary phone. Also updated the script to just remove siyah init's since that is the only kernel we have right now that installs them.

Gotcha... no surprise that the scripts would be similar. Good call on adjusting the updaterscript... folks might get a little concerned if you wiped their other init.d scripts too.

Full root box AOKP? I'm not sure what that is...just flash the entire AOKP ROM. It will flash over the i9100 Fluxii, then you can download and flash the correct version.

Are you talking about Task's AOKP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718 If so, just reflash it in recovery. Reflashing AOKP uses Task's CM9 kernel and it'll overwrite the i9100 version of Fluxii you installed.
reflashed aokp rom. now im getting numerous process errors. android keyboard has stopped working, rom control has stopped, process.android.phone has stopped. have went into CWM recovery and re-installed zip and wiped davlik data, partition data. only other thing i havent done is factory reset. i even unrooted and re-rooted to get it back. now im getting the i-9100 boot logo with the yellow triangle.
Yikes. Did you happen to make a Nandroid before flashing? If not, you may have to return to stock. You also might want to get on IRC and try to get someone to help you real-time.
i just connected it to my computer, removed the other roms that i had and some other unneeded files, like the i9100 files, did a factory reset, re-installed the rom from recovery, reinstalled gapps. so far i havent gotten any process errors. still have the i9100 boot icon but i can fix that with the triangle away from the market. sucks that rootbox isnt going to be made for i777, i checked the thread and bajee confirmed he's only doing it for the i9100 or the s3. so im s.o.l on that. is there a way to get the fluxi kernel though? or is it stuck with whatever rom ur using?

You did ask a very simple question. And the very simple answer to your very simple question is readily available in the forum stickies.
If you think flashing kernels an flashing roms are completely separate processes, you don't understand as much as you think you do. Did you know that every time you flash a rom, you flash a kernel too?
And no, I don't know everything. But having knowledge isn't the key...the key is knowing how to acquire the knowledge you need.

Just like you normally flash roms and kernels.
you can pull out the boot.img that comes in the viper2.0 rom.
I've been hearing people having screen tearing issues with evilz kernel and viper2.0.
IMHO i think the stock rom kernels are always optimized to the point where their battery life is great.

Non stock kernels can add features way beyond stock. Not just battery but other things. I am a believer in kernels, you just got to find one that works with your setup.
Now that said evilz didn't agree with my phone, hoping to find some time to start work on a new kernel.
I have flashed paranoidandroid 3.15 on my galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago, aside the occasional screen that win't turn on I haven't had any problem, but I set my mind on flashing a new kernel in order to be able to change thez governor. I tried to flash air kernel on, I did exactly what I was told: Boot into recovery, clear cache/delvik, installed kernel from sd card, and rebooted. But after the phone being rebooted, I still had the stock kernel.
My question is, why did this happen, and how do I fix it?
All help is appreciated

I would try a fresh install of the ROM you're currently on, including a fresh install of all your apps. See if the problems persist and report back if they do.
I'd also check the development thread for whatever ROM you're on and see if any other users have experienced issues such as yours.
