Are there any custom kernels available for the 4.4.2 ROM's with some added governors (intellidemand) and stuff like S2W or DT2W? Or are the only kernels available the ones that come with the ROM's?
The CM ROM posted for the new layout has s2w, but that's it.
The kernel still isn't finalized, so posting a custom version that'll be outdated the next day really isn't worth any dev's time at this point. Besides the fact that many kernel devs have moved on to other devices or have just been busy.

If you chose to use one of the roms do you also have to select which kernal to use. How do you know differenencse between kernals and roms... just wanted to know if its neccessary to also change kernals. as well as roms.. thanks all
All of the roms have kernels built in, and which kernels are mostly referenced in the release notes. The kernels are available to users as well for a choice if you need something special like CIFS support or a different governor; the kernel builders will mention what is available in their kernel. It also gives us the opportunity to update the kernel without having to reflash the rom.
Best bet, read read read. The devs are pretty good at keeping up their OP notes. Never guess, or you'll quickly learn how NVFLASH works.
Hi, I have the htc evo 3d gsm model and i just flashed the latest LeeDroid Rom. I noticed that the battery life on this isn't that great and I started reading some posts about how others flashed a kernel and a rom. I dont know what that means but how do i go about doing it and what kernel/rom is the best for me to use?
a kernel, is the linux kernel for the device, the ground, on what the graphical interface from linux is build (in this case android).
A rom, can, but not must have a custom kernel,anyway, a custom rom changes many visual and many options to make the phone more usable and adds many apps and tweaks...
I know this question might have already been answered, but since the official MIUI v4 based on ICS is coming on our device on the 29th, I was wondering how's the situation about Samsung and sources so that developers could build custom ICS kernels. I can't wait to try MIUI v4, but I can't live without some advanced features such as led-notif (or BLN, where unavailable), OC/UV and LOUDER.
No Sammy sources yet.
No custom kernels, hence.
Expect Sammy stock kernel sources about 2 to 4 weeks after ICS is officially available via KIES in the first regions.
Custom kernels about a week after that, give or take.
When I717UCLC5 ICS leak first became available, a few hours later several ROMs were developed based on that.
And I recall that initially the ROM included GB Kernel for a very specific reason - to enable easy reflashing of GB ROM if desired.
So I have two questions -
1. Why would the new kernel make it difficult to go back to GB ROM? I though ROMs generally come with a kernel, so in the event of reflash it would be replaced?
2. Now that we have UCLD3 leak I can see new ROMs coming up that include the new kernel without any sighted concern for backward compatibility. So is there any concern over flashing the new kernel (besides the reports of hard bricks that affected other leaked roms but don't appear to apply to our processor)?
Thanks.
Hello all first post here,
I have been using the jelly beans rom since version 19 and am very happy with it. I love the aroma installer but I am confused about the differences between the kernel choices. I see different performance and capabilities between the kernels but nothing comprehensive. does anyone out there know where I can see the features and functions of each kernel. things like fast charge support combatability with beoffla sound etc. Thank you all. The kernel choices are:
stock
devil
sabre
Faux
Each kernel has its own thread. You probably want to look in each thread for that information.
