What is kernel for? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I have a nand stock android on my hd2. I see peoples sigs and they say that they have this nand and also a kernel which i didnt install after flashing android. So what is the kernel basically for and do i need it?

Hi,
The kernel is the core component of every Unix-based build. It's the bridge between the hardware and the applications at the lowest level. Maybe this illustration helps to understand:

Yes you do - you can't run Android without one. Every build already has a kernel included.

I wonder why is that? Is it because it's not open source?

Yep - that's exactly why. Windows ran off the same kernel for years... both mobile and PC (different versions for each though).

thanks or all informations

I hope it's not a re-post. I've searched this topic but nothing come up.
It is a combination of myHTC and S2U2.
However, it saves your device a lot of storage space.

The UI works fast and that´s good, but in the other hand is too simple that doesn´t allow any customization.... too bad!
i've seen posts before
but yeah i think it does allow for customization, somewhat.. no one has even put any effort into it tho so pretty sure no one here has any clue of it's potentials.

Well guys, if this is proven and tested that is GLOBAL.
To say that the other brings about important changes such as an alternative SlideME Market and installed WhatsApp source and featured applications,
then brings others were head uninstaller. Also I notice that the wifi connections are fast and good coverage. We will continue testing.

Anyone else been able to download this officially
@jlssalgado,
Thanks for posting this, however I don't see anyone else reporting that they've been able to download this, not through PCC or SUS.
Is this an official Sony update or a modified FTF by you or someone else?

Motorola released the Kernel source for Moto X 2014.

Haven't seen this here. I'm guessing this is of interest for us.
I have no idea what I'm doing, so feel free to move this around or remove it.
Woot
Now we waiting on some kernels to be released
I'm hoping that @faux123 will have some plans for us!
