[Q] flashing kernels - Fascinate General

at this point i flashed my fascinate following directions on the dj05 rom, kernel, radio thread. However, I went with Stupidfast v1.54 kernel. I'm operating fine, but how do i know the kernel flashed? everything shows success, but does the kernel version show up in phone info ie. my Kernel Version still shows 2.6.29
sorry for the noob question

2.6.29 is the linux kernel version that samsung's kernel is based upon. All the current custom kernels on the fascinate are still based on samsungs code. If installation of stupid fast went smoothly without error that should be what you are running. Also this is not really a question for the dev forum.

Thanks for the reply, this is where I found the info originally so I figured best place for answers.

You could install the app setcpu...open the app, set to autodetect when it prompts you, then press the info tab and it will give you kernel info at the top.

Guidance needed after Root :)

there are couple of questions i want to ask and needing some sort of a guide although there are plenty here. I just want to clarify some points.
I already 'root'ed my fascinate through z4root and planning to install CWM.
Now after all of this, I looked at this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869990
the DJ05 is what I'm planning to 'flash' and there are 2 files under each category; Radio, Rom, and Kernel.
Does it matter which one to flash from the two listed on each category?
Also, is it required to have a kernel if I get the rom?
thanks guys! this will really help me a lot
You Needed to flash the radio in odin then both the rom and kernel in cwm. You don't have to use that kernel and rom combo though. I am running. Super dark rom and a voodoo kernel but that's just me. But you do have to run a compatible rom and kernel combo.
also, you should stay away from voodoo kernels until you do some proper research.
Question. There are two.links on the link I posted for each category; radio, rom, and kernel. Do I need to use the first or second? Also, do I need to have a kernel after I flash the rom
bumppppppp
Without looking at the post, they are probably just mirrors. Sometimes u get faster download from one over the other.

i don't really think so.. check this out.
Radio:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/adrynalyne/dj05modem.tar
http://backup.galaxysense.com/adrynalyne/dj05modem.tar
This gets flashed via Odin, in the PDA section.
System/rom:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/DJ05_stock.zip
http://backup.galaxysense.com/DJ05_stock.zip
This gets flashed via clockwork.
Kernel:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/1212_test_novoodoo_fascinate
http://backup.galaxysense.com/1212_t...odoo_fascinate
*one is ROM and one is backup. so do i use the first file?
Both links will download the same file. The second link is in case the server for the first link goes down.

Yep =) except for the kernel link... the first kernel is a non-voodoo kernel, second is voodoo so you can choose which you'd like to run =)

sorry for the late reply and th to those who helped me out
after flashing the Rom, is the Kernel optional to have?

[Q] Newbie but I have Flashed a couple of different ROMS

I am running Android 2.2
Kernel is 2.6.32.17
My question is sometimes if I want to try a new ROM i will flash it and for some reason it does not work. Is that because of the Kernel or the version or both? For instance I just tried to install Bakedsnack 1.9 and it would not load. Sorry or the dumb questions just trying to learn.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

It could be a lot of things, but what specifically isn't working? The whole thing? or just a few bugs? It could be the kernal, could have been a bad flash, you might not have wiped everything first, etc.

My guess is the stock htc kernel with baked snack requires an updated radio. After flashing the rom, flash netarchy's kernel in the same recovery session

The Overcome ROM with the Overcome kernel is probably the best choice assuming you have a GSM Tab as opposed to a CDMA one. Once you install that (the Guide is very good) you can use something like Voltage Control from the Market to Over clock anything up to 1.6 GHz and you can even undervolt it a long way with Overcome, but be careful as always.
Hope that helps
I dont like the touchwiz bloat ao i run cm7 on mine. Bottom status bar, ics theme for cm7 and your set. Also there are honeycomb and IcS ports if you feel like testing out newfeatures of android but they are not daily drivers.

I got the overcome rom with the overcome kernel and things have improved overall. I do have a couple of problems though, I would post in the development thread but as I haven't posted enough I am not allowed to.
The problems I have are the battery seems to be used quicker and I cannot purchase apps off the market.

[Verizon Fascinate Guide] Flashing a Kernel for EH03

I basically put in the title EH03 due to the vast majority of people using EH03 Roms now.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. standard disclamer but i feel its important to add to this just incase people want to come at me saying something i said to do messed up their phone or whatever.
Basically, I'm writing this for my own use and for anyone who needs information regarding kernel flashing or what kernels are for what rom. There are two types of Roms, Touchwiz (TW) and MTD. For TW there is 3 kernels available. And 2 for MTD. The links will be at the bottom of the post, I will go into as much detail as i can without kanging the OP of the kernels. They all have great write-ups on OC/UV and all that fancy stuff. Basically I use Voltage Control (get from the market) and set it to 200-1200, set as boot and not one hot boot or any other issues, but all fassy's are different, what works for me may not work for you, so do not think that im telling you what is standard for every phone, cause theyre isnt a real answer to that.
Note: All the kernels that I will be referring to allow the installation of Custom Boot Animations via CWM. There is a great list of a bunch of them I will post link to it as well.
TW:
1) KGB (updated 1/16/12) (formally known as TKS and TKSGB) this imo, is the one i use with my current rom/kernel combo. This one comes with an app packaged in the kernel install. for more information on the app features, see the op at the bottom of the post.
2) GeeWiz. (updated 2/3/12) This one comes with a Rom/Kernel/Recovery Package. As of the new update, he separated the kernel from the rom so you can use just the kernel. This one is more of a stock kernel with some extra features. See link for the complete list of features.
3) LeanKernel (updated 1/1/12) (Rootzwiki) This was actually one of the first kernels I used. It is already OC'd to 1200 so no need to use the Voltage Control App with this kernel. Not too much more to say about this one because I didnt use it too long. Make sure you check your rom to ensure you are choosing the correct verison of the kernel. There is EH and EI. EH03 is the Verizon Fascinate GB. EI120 I believe is the Mesmorize GB (correct me if I'm wrong?) but some people have ported E120 Roms to the Fascinate, thus the need for that kernel version.
4) Stock Kernel Stock is stock, you cant do any customizing to it, no OC/UV or boot animations. It depends on what version of cwm you are using to determine which version of the kernel you need to flash in CWM : 2.+ cwm = amend 3.+ cwm = edify
**however the red recovery which is 2.5.1 takes edify.
MTD:
MTD is basically for CM7/CM9(when it gets ported to us) Team Hacksung's ICS port and MIUI. Im not going to go into detail for any of this because i never used them long enough to grasp anything about them.
1) Glitch v13.1 (updated 12/25/11) This is imo the most common MTD kernel used by the community. Features and OC/UV values can be found in the OP. They also have a test version out for ICS if you are using that Rom. Make sure when you go to this OP you choose the Fascinate version of the kernel.
2) JT's 3 button fix Kernel (JT's Twitter) This is another MTD kernel. Not much to say about this one. Just that it only works for MTD based Roms.
I put a link to Droidstyle's Guide for Rom Flashing if you guys haven't already flashed a custom rom.
I hope this gave you guys some insight.

If you do not have a custom rom you will not be able to install a custom kernel, Refer to droidstyle's guide if you have not already installed a rom. Link is in OP
Download kernel and place it on the root of your sd card (not really necessary but imo its easier to find)Installing kernel
boot phone into CWM Recovery (volume up + down + power) If you are already on a custom rom do not do this, just longpress the power button and choose reboot into recovery.
Wipe Cache and Davlik (see link in OP on Davlik cache if you do not know what this is used for)
Scroll to Install Zip from SD card. Press power buttom to select menu.
Scroll to Choose Zip from SD Card. Press Power Again.
Scroll down to your downloaded Kernel file using volume down key
Press power button on the file.
Scroll down to Yes with Volume down key.
Press power.
Allow to install.
Reboot phone.

Whoa, what? This is the first I've heard this. I've read through Droidstyle's guide, and didn't see this specifically mentioned. Or in any of the other threads I'd read, actually (there's so many).
Through all the posts I see on kernels, how kernels like KGB work with Gingerbread and EH03 based ROMs, which lead me to believe just the kernel can be customized with a stock ROM... I've never seen one until now that said you must have a custom ROM first.
So they mean, a Gingerbread/EH03 based *custom* ROM when they say that.
This would explain why I borked my phone trying to put KGB on it.
I wish I had seen this thread earlier, that would've save me a lot of headache.
It all makes sense now.

[Q] Kernal question

I'm confused by kernals so some help would be appreciated.
When hashcodes kernal is complete will it come as part of a rom or will the kernal then the rom have to be flashed.
If then i want to say go back to modaco would i have to flag a new kernal and then modaco or is there a kernal included in that rom.
Apologies for what is probably a very basic question

Once it's final and ROM developers start using it: You won't have to worry about flashing it separately. Everything will come in the 1 .zip file and be installed automatically.
Thanks for that mate.
Keep up the good work.
