hi everyone.
well, i've searched a lot about kernels in different threads, but didn't find any detailed and comprehensive information about kernels.
i rooted my SGSII with Odin through a guide which installed Siyah-s2-v6.0b4.tar kernel and CWM based recovery on my phone.
i flashed RootBox-JB-i9100-V4.2 ROM and now have 3.0.64-CM-g32f12dd kernel.
Before i flashed a custom ROM i got stweaks working, and after i flashed rootbox i recieve a message:"no kernel support" on stweaks.
This is leading to my first question- does my kernel change when i use different ROMs?
now i want to try and change my kernel to one who is supported by stweaks and has touch CWM and works with RootBox, but i'm not sure how to flash kernels.
This is leading to my second question- can anyone describe the whole procedure of how to change kernels on SGSII?
thanks for your attention.
There's nothing to describe. Custom kernels are flashed in CWRecovery mostly (some have Odin flashable versions as well). Always follow the exact flashing instructions for the kernel in question which are always on the first page of the thread devoted to the kernel in whichever development section, and are always very clear/simple to follow.
Only some kernels like Siyah or DorimanX support STweaks.Look up here on S2 forums in the Android Development section for kernelsThere are some others that have STweaks support.Also,.don't flash kernels made for Sammy ROMs.If you wanna flash DorimanX, then flash 9.39, not 8.39.

Yes, if the ROM comes bundled with its own kernel(s). :good:

Yes.. The ROM ZIP usually contains Rom+kernel+modem combination

1.Just go the kernel thread you want to use.(Mind that you cant use siyah with Rootbox). Search for a kernel which supports 4.2.2 (eg. Dorimanx 9.x) and download the CWM Flashable zip in the thread.
2.Download Hawker Paul`s Kernel Cleaning Script
3.Flash Hawker Paul`s Kernel Cleaning Script first trhu CWM
4.Then Flash the Kernel ZIP
Hit Thanks if I`ve helped you
thanks everyone! you're great!
absolutely clear now.

I've been doing this whole "reading" thing about flashing and all that, but some confusion is still there.
I have rooted my newly got SGS2 (i9100, UK).
Now what ? I'm looking at Darky's rom, but there are two files to flash separately: kernel (darkcore1.7) and ROM itself.
1. I was just wondering what is kernel in this situation ? Can i keep my current kernel, which was flashed by superoneclick(2.1.1) or do i absolutely need to flash darkcore ?
2. Same question applies to any other rom out there - can i use different kernel to the rom i may want to flash ? A lot of them come in sets (rom+kernel)
3. Another question - if i mess up kernel flash somehow, does that kill "download mode" of the phone (voldn+pwr)?
I have SGS1 flashed just another day, due to it being "expendable" now that i have SGS2, so jumped in and flashed it following instructions, but without solid understanding. Either stuff gets too complicated or i'm getting too old for this **** (I do have a background of messing with PCs, videogame consoles (ps1 era to ps3/360), winmo6 phones, gadgetry in general...engineer at heart )
You can use any kernel with any ROM. And no I don't think your Download Mode will be gone if you mess up a Kernel.
Kernel don't come in sets. You can choose your favorite there. See Dev section for more details.
Regards.
Correction: SuperCore, not darkcore...
Can i use cwm app (v2.0)to flash any kernels ? Or does it have to be odin ?

Rom>>That depends upon the instructions as always in the rom you choose for a custom rom .
Kernel is flashed via Odin Via CWM app or via CWM recovery .
Kernel is the core of the system between hardware and operating .

Ok, so saying that, What stock Kernel can I use for Cyanogenmod7 ROM?
I was using "XWKE7" previously.
The ZIP file that i downloaded actually replaced my kernel with its own.
I'm asking this as I wanna use Tegrak overclock which is only compatible with stock kernels.

Stock kernels will not work with cyanogenmod. There are no overclockable kernels available for it yet.
Sent from my GT-I9100M
So I had followed a guide (GalaxyS2Root.com i think the site was) for rooting my phone and successfully rooted my i777 device. Had no problems.
Upon researching this forum to start figuring out what else was possible with my phone, I found some information on what I had just installed and learned a few things and decided I wanted to install a custom ROM (but, I haven't gotten around to doing it yet)
So the package I had used to root my phone (which is using the AT&T-provided ICS rom) was "Siyah-v3.4.2-nomswap-I777.tar".
I noticed the "nomswap" in the name as well as the version.
I read a few peoples' posts asking about JB roms, and some replied that mic swap is required for all JB roms.
So, my questions:
1) I need to install an MSWAP kernel first before a JB rom? Or the other way around, rom first, then the MSWAP kernel?
2) If I install the MSWAP kernel but choose not to install a JB rom all the sudden, will my stock AT&T ICS rom continue to work fine?
3) Do I require the updated Siyah 4.3.3 kernel for the new JB roms?
Thanks.
The determining factor for whether or not you need mic swap is the ROM's base. Android version has nothing to do with it - some JB ROMs will require mic swap, others will not. Mic swap is for ROMs built on I9100 or AOSP base; without mic swap is for ROMs built on I777 base.
You should understand that every ROM is packaged with a working kernel, so there is no need to flash a different kernel on top of it. However, if you prefer a different kernel, you can always flash it after flashing the ROM.

You should have the most up to date kernel in general. All roms are packaged with kernels already otherwise it wouldn't run at all, so it overrides whatever is already there. And DO NOT USE ANYTHING FROM GALAXYS2ROOT. For the rest, you'll have to use Google as I've done my spoonfeeding for today.

Also as a side note. Any of the leaks require u run the kernel the rom comes with . As in Siyah and Dream won't work with the leaks yet.
Thank you for all the information. Very useful.
On a side, I only learned of XDA and the AOKP ROM as a result of reading GalaxyS2Root.com.
So basically, with every release of a ROM, I can just flash it and be OK. I don't need to manually change the kernel beyond flashing the ROM itself...
If that is the case, what is the purpose of the kernel downloads (Siyah 4.3.3 or the sort)?

Because not all roms use Siyah as a kernel but it can be flashed separately.

The root task is done by both of the kernels indeed. But:
If you just want to root your device CF-Root will do the thing.
Siyah or Siyah related kernels (DorimanX Kernel for example) and some others are more advanced kernels that
give you the ability to adjust some settings through an app (STweaks) that is installed with the kernel.

DorimanX Kernel
Siyah Kernel
The best way to find out what you can do with the kernels is to read their threads.
It's to much to explain. Just as an example: Change CPU frequency and volting, enable different setting profiles for
improved battery life and much more.
The kernel I like most is DorimanX but you have to be more experienced because of a lot of different options.
Siyah, which is the base of the DorimanX, is more compact with the settings and easier to learn.
No matter what kernel you use, make sure your rom is supported. (Stock or Custom, AOKP / CM Base?)

If you just want to flash a kernel because you want to get root and install a custom rom than CF-Root is the best thing.
Every custom rom comes with it's own kernel that fits. Only if you want to get an advanced kernel you may flash one of these:
DorimanX or
Siyah vsync v4/5
in their modified versions for CM and AOKP based roms.
Do NOT flash these kernels as long as you are on a Stock based rom. It won't boot then.
Make sure you know how to install custom roms! Mostly described in the rom threads itself.
So you steps should be:
1. flash CF-Root via odin to get your phone rooted.
2. copy the zip file to sd card and flash the rom via recovery.
3. stay with the delivered kernel of the custom rom or flash another via odin or recovery if you want an advanced one.

Don't get me wrong, but I think It's better if you make your own experience with installing/flashing >>Instructions
Everything you need is explained here step by step. Won't take you that long to read through it think
If you don't know the difference between Stock and Custom, just use the forum search.
And I figured out that it's better to root via Siyah for you with this one Siyah for stock rom
For titanium i got no advice for you because I'm not experienced with it. But there should be some threads guiding you through.
when you don't get something in the tutorials you're free to ask here again. But for now good luck and have fun learning something about

What you have to do is to flash this kernel via Odin Odin
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select .tar file you've downloaded (Siyah in this case)
- Put your phone in download mode (google it if you dno't know how to)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
after this steps your phone is rooted and then you can install your custom firmware.

if you flash the Siyah kernel it automatically installs the a recovery. there is no need to install it separately.
you just have to download the zip file for your custom rom (Jelly Beer 4.18 in your case) and copy it to your external sd card.

I want to flash the Googy Max 175 Kernel but I'm a bit uncertain because of my current installation. I have Liquid Smooth JB 4.3 and 3.0.64 CM kernel and CyanogenMod touch recovery. I like my touch-recovery.
Do I simply flash the Googy with Odin? I guess that will destroy my CyanogenMod recovery?
Can I use Odin to backup my existing Kernel?
My CM kernel doesn't give me access to overclocking so this is the main reason for wanting to flash Googy.

You don't need to backup your old kernel. In addition googy is only a kernel and not a recovery, hence you will keep yours.

Thanks. Useful guides there including a breakdown of the memory space.
There's one section where they say that all roms come with kernel so if you want a specific kernel you need to flash it again after you install the rom. I get that and that's the position I'm at. I have Liquid Smooth and I want to flash a kernel that allows overclock. Which also begs the question... If ALL ROMS come with Kernel... why doesn't the Liquid Smooth have Kernel that allows overclock? Liquid Smooth has the Performance section showing clocks and cpu modes but I can't change the actual cpu speeds. They stay on automatic. Can't adjust the sliders.
So for a noob this is where confusion sets in....
If all custom roms include Kernel... why doesn't a rom with overclocking come with overclocking kernel?
I need a Siyah kernel or variant to overclock so why doesn't Liquid Smooth have that Kernel?
I have a Googy175 kernel CWM.zip .... There is no guide that explains how to install it. I read that zip files must be installed via clockworkmod recovery... well I can do that if I know that this googy can be installed via recovery...
I read that Odin only works with tar files and googy isn't a tar.
Noob questions and as great as the guide is for general understanding of it all... it doesn't answer my specific questions.
If ALL ROMS come with Kernel... why doesn't the Liquid Smooth have Kernel that allows overclock
Why should it its up to the dev what they build you would need to ask the dev why .
Devs build as they want to build a rom and options may be included in an installer or to be flashed after its users choice .
I have a Googy175 kernel CWM.zip .... There is no guide that explains how to install it
Basics flash via recovery the same as any CWM zip as per the faqs and guides
Usually there are installation instructions in every kernel guide on how to install them and what to take care of.

Thanks for replies. It's clear now.
I have read a lot of the guides though but it was just that specific info on how to flash a different kernel I couldn't seem to locate.

Hi!
I am new to this phone an I am confused about one thing. With my previous phone, I installed any ROM that I wanted, and the cwm recovery would be the same, and will not be affected at all. But, I changed my ROM to PACman ROM and I noticed that the cwm recovery version changed as well.
So, I have three questions:
- Firstly, How does this work? I opened up a ROM zip package, but I only found the regular android files, but I didn't find any recovery.img. So, how does replacing the ROM replace the recovery work when a ROM is flashed?
- Secondly, does changing only the kernel also change the cwm recovery? For example, if I flash Dorimanx kernel, will it also change the cwm recovery? If yes, then how does this work?
- Lastly, if I build a ROM, is it necessary to add a recovery with the ROM as well? Or, if I build a ROM without recovery, will it affect the recovery when it is flashed?
I know that these questions might have long answers, but I am keen to know the answers, no matter how long they are.
Please try to answer all three of the questions. Or, answer as many as you can, because those questions regarding the changing of cwm recovery is very confusing.
Thank You.
Hello, congrats on your new phone Unfortunately, i can't give you lenghty information about this because i don't think i know that much, but here are some facts for you:
-When you flash a new ROM, it will overwrite kernel too, so you will have a new kernel,
-When you flash a new kernel, it will overwrite the recovery, so you will have a new recovery,for example if A kernel has cwm as recovery, if you flash A kernel you will have cwm, and if B kernel has TWRP as recovery, when you flash B kernel you will have TWRP recovery,
-Since you have to have a kernel for your ROM, if you build a ROM, you must have a kernel=recovery, you can build the kernel yourself or use someone's kernel, but recovery must be embedded in the kernel (As far as i know)
When you start building your own ROM, i think you will find out the "how"s yourself though

That was short, but it does kind of make sense. Since I am using CM kernel right now, I guess the recovery will already be in there. But, If I want to create my own kernel from scratch, then are there any guides or information pages that give me an idea on how to do it?
Thanks.
All that stuff is in the development sections (where the devs live), Q&A is the wrong place for stuff like this (Q&A is for n00bs with busted phones). Google/XDA search for specifics or maybe ask a few devs in the threads devoted to their kernels/roms.

But, if, for example, I install dorimanx kernel, then the recovery embedded in dorimanx kernel will be installed. So, if I dualboot a second ROM from dorimanx recovery, then the recovery from the second ROM would be installed. That would mean that I won't be able to dualboot again?
Hmm, i think dualbooting has some different mechanisms, since you dual boot you have to have ONE kernel that supports dual boot, recovery will be the same since kernel is the same. So basically, you have A rom which has A kernel, then you flash B rom which has B kernel to dualboot, but there can't be two kernels at the same time so you must choose between A kernel or B kernel (both has to support dualboot ofc), and since recovery is embedded in kernel, you will have A recovery or B recovery, not both.
