The Kernal is the VERY core of the Luiux system. It's the heart if you will. It is boss, what you tell it to do, it does. for the good and for the bad. Rooting gives you direct access to the Kernal, called "SU" Super User Access, or in temp. access "sudo" but that's a different story.
This comic explains it a little.

Over-clocking is making the processor work faster than it was designed to work. so our baseline is 1.0Ghrz. With a Kernal that allows for overclocking we can get to speeds like 1.5Ghrz or anywhere in between. gives a smoother, faster overall experience.

OK , so is it worth putting on the phone? Im using stock sense for now then Im going to switch to iced. I jusst cant seem to stick to the other roms. So how would I put a different kerna; and o/c.

Iced Glacier may have an overclocked Kernal already installed into the ROM. I do not know much about Iced Glacier. You'd have to check out that thread.

What does cyanogen have to offer, I see thats what you're using.

Cyanogen is a pure AOSP ROM, it doesn't have many bells and whistles and it's not "prettied up" to make it appealing. It's bare bones vanilla android. Like what the Nexus Line and the G2 use.
I have nothing against Iced Glacier, It's a good ROM that is turning some impressive numbers. However i personally prefer the sock look and feel of android.

im thinking of trying it out, anything special I need to know or add?

Not Really. Zinx has done an AMAZING job with this ROM. Just follow their wiki-page and you'll be good to go. It's easy to understand and very straight forward.
just make sure to do a nandroid backup of your current ROM. And save it on the SDcard and on another means of media. You don't want something to go south and not be able to get your phone back to a "stock look".

yeah I know, ive tried eVil HD and Z and its juss not my taste.

Few more questions,. How do I carry my apps over? and whats this Google Addon?

To carry applications and data over use Titanium Backup, you can get by with the free one, but i highly suggest the paid version.
the "google addon" or "GAPPS" is the Google Talk/GMail/Google Maps/Market applications. Those are not "open source" like the ROM is so you have to add those on to the end of flashing a ROM.

No problem...
Couple of questions
Are you perma-rooted?
do you know if s=on or s=off
have you flashed a custom recovery image?
Android Zoom : Titanium Backup can be found here
Make sure you have a barcode scanner for "androidzoom"

Im perma-rooted, Im s=off
what you mean by flashed a custom recovery image? all I've done is ROMS, mods and font.

Do you have Clockwork ROM Manager? And at the top it says "flash custom recovery image". did you do that?
Sounds like you have if you've done those listed above.

Oh yeah, I did the flash clockwork recovery n bla bla

After you wipe and flash cyanogen, flash the GAPPS. That simple .
Sorry for all the question but i don't want to tell you to process "d" and we've skipped a, b, or c.

No problem I understand . So you mind explaining titan better to me, i have it installed.
EDIT: Another question a little off topic.. Can i use any font I want or only those here on the forum?

What you will want to to is at the bottom of Titanium you will see a "got problems". click on it and down load busybox. fairly quick and small footprint protocol deal. What it does is will back up all of your applications to your SD card. So when you wipe > flash ROM > reboot you can use titanium back up to restore everything.
Click on schedules > edit > and make it "back up applications and user data" then click run.
That will back every thing up
Then when you reboot you can : Got problems > download busy box > applications and restore the ones that have a greenish color "M" next to them.
And it's like you never left.
as far as fonts go i recommend using the ones found Here. Or downloading and using the ones in an applications called "root tools".

Thanks, going to give this a shot now

Whats to do
1. Download your file
2. Copy this to root of your SD Card
3. NANDROID BACKUP !!!!!!!!!
4. Apply zip from SD
I hope you like it.
Please. make a nandroid. I didn't have a Desire so I can't test it. On our german Forums there are testers for this and it works there.
Known Issues
If you have a stock black bar on your Homescreen, I know that you're using LauncherPro or ADW.Launcher and have a static wallpaper. These two Home Replacements uses Wallpaper Hacks. Thats okay to make the scrolling speed with live wallpapers fast.
On ADW.Launcher you can uncheck the WallpaperHack. You don't need it with static wallpapers.
On LauncherPro you don't have this chance, sorry. Write to the creator of LauncherPro to make this optional^^
Didnt work for me on froyo with sense ui....was just black bar...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Works great on SetROM 3.5 (froyo, no sense ui)
Thanks!!
@mrwookie
have you read the known issues part in the first post?
You have Launcher pro or ADW, right?
Then please read it again
Can You add battery %?
Also, can You make the notification area transparent or black?
Thanks!
Transparent isn't possible on FroYo, as far as I know.
On our Nexus, we don't have this possibility, too.
If anybody has an idea: Help is appreciated^^
Battery Percentage? What do you mean?
maybe a silly question, but since i do not have a desire yet:
what do you mean with:
4. Apply zip from SD
how can you apply a zip?
should it be extracted, clicked on, double clicked, opened in a program, selected as a theme etc etc.
If you're phone is roored and you're running an custom recovery and have installed a custom rom over this recovery, you know what it means.^^
If not:
You can apply update.zip as they are. Don't extract, don't use any programs. Just boot into recovery, select "update from zip" and choose your zip file you wanna have installed.
Ready

It is possible. Actually Your theme took it off It is included in SetROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699648 )
By battery precentage I mean an indicator of battery % left in the middle of the circle (like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7126291&postcount=17 )
OK, I'll have a look into it
Thanks for the links.

No Problem with a Nandroid Backup, isn't it?
It is very cool, when you write your rom to those error messages.
"Won't work" doesn't help me.
Guys, I've spend a few hours over it, I never have a desire and you don't have 1 Minute to describe a bit more? I do it only for you, not for me.

Nandroid backup didnt help either....
am trying not to panic just yet... am hoping i can get it functional again...!
Running OpenDesire 1.6b .... well, was!! lol!
if i get it up again.... i may try one last time.....
Ok. What you can Do:
Go to recovery and apply your rom again without a wipe.
I hope you can fix it with this.

I have managed to get my Desire back up and running..... with quite a mission... something went horribly wrong.... but think it was my fault tho!!!
Do you think i should try install the transparent again~??
it does look really sweet!!!!!
Phew....
I really don't know whats going wrong there.
On Nexus One it is far easier to make themes/Metamorphs.
If you know how you can get your desire running if it fails, you can try it again.
Sorry for the problems.

I have to agree, this is probably the best froyo rom I have tried. Matter of fact, I would still be using it except I had issues in that whenever my phone restarted, I couldn't get it past the G1 logo and would have to reflash to get it running again.
i was on COS-DS and it ran fairly good but had little lags here and there but the rom i keep comming back to on my dream is ezterry Official AOSP. its fast and stable its my daily rom.

How did you wipe? Did you repartition your sdcard and move ext to ext3? Use superwipe? I did and everything went fine for me. Running really good

As I recall, I repatitioned the card and I think I tried it with ext4. I then wiped it in fastboot (fastboot erase system -w and fastboot erase boot) and then wiped it with superwipe and wipedatacachesystem x2.
Maybe it was the ext3 vs ext4. I may try it again.
i tired SuperASOP ran very good i would kept with the rom but some reason when i try to go thru my sdcard with astro it say it was blank. setting my ringtone/notification it didnt read any that was in my sdcard only one that came with the rom. if theres a fix let me know i would like to give it another shot.

for new spl/radio you need to flash superbler kernel before booting, the link is here link next to rom
it has nothing to do with ext2/3/4 because this will be accessed only after you activate app2sd from supsetup settings

I appreciate the advice but I still can't seem to get past the G1 screen. I formatted the card, partitioned it (FAT32, EXT3, 128MB Swap), wiped with wipedatacachesystem and Superwipe and then went through all the wipe options in recovery and repaired the ext. I then flashed the rom and the superblur kernel.
No luck as I still get stuck on the G1 screen.
I don't know what to say. Works on my mt3g great.
Why isn't this rom on xda? Its great.

if the glitch kernel freaks out on you... you may need a different leakage version. Source code and updates for glitch kernel, can be found in the following thread ------->http://bit.ly/pNkURn
CHANGELOG:
v1.3- Initial release and port from samsung vibrant, relatively untested
Seems interesting...i'll try it out tonight.
As shall I... I doubt many people here will get the KingKlick reference lol (I'm from way back... G1 days). Great to see you deving for Captivate, biff.
you guys are officially testers. Please let me know any bugs or issues you have. Cappy and Vibrant are basically the same so i think i pulled it off proper, but since i don't have the device, its not possible to know. Once you all confirm its as stable as it should in theory be, i'll push to rom manager and start doing biweekly updates.
Sounds good. I won't be using Glitch though, I'm currently testing a kernel of my own (in my sig). TK-Glitch was the dev of Gitch kernel btw
I will give a try also this night!
So I can flash this with gb bootloader and Samsung rom without the need to go back to froyo stock?
Thanks in advance

That's what the OP says. If you have issues, then they're most likely caused by your GB bootloaders. Give it a try, worst that can happen is that you have to go stock. (disclaimer: worse can happen if you really, really, really screw up and I'm not responsible)
+1. I have jvp installed. With gb bootloaders. Do I have to-
1. flash to stock eclair
2. flash to stock gb
3. just wipe and flash?
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
P.s I have never flashed cm or aosp before, so I have just the very basic idea of aosp. Only thing I know is that battery was pretty bad on cm7 due to the phone not being able to get to the deep sleep mode. Could someone please tell me how is it on this?
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
I already answered this if you want to be safe, go for stock eclair. > flash

Using the glitch kernel fixed battery drains on my vibrant version, hoped using glitch on this rom would achieve the same thing. In theory it should. let me know guys

Sure thing. The ROM's been great so far, no issues except for a soft reboot, then when it booted it hard rebooted. Just a one time thing, and I've used the phone plenty since then, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.
Gonna flash here in about 15 minutes...i'll let u know what I think, preety excited for something different!
Error when attempting flash from Apex 9 (JVR):
"Assert failed, get prop....." blah blah blah.... "Status 7"
Hmm
Regards
Smith
EDIT: I modified build.prop to read SGH-i897 instead of GT-i9000 and it works. Well, it's installing as we speak...
EDIT 2: How can I change the band selection?? *#2263# isn't working...
Gonna flash in a couple of hours... Backing up stuff..! Ne more reviews n reports?

[MOD THEME] [11/07/11] Custom Buttons ALL Mods in one zip file.

Discontinued. All mods are in one zip file (link below).
Here are some custom Back, Home, Recent, and Menu buttons.
Only tested on Stock 3.2 and Stock Based Roms with unmodified SystemUI.
Flash with CWM.
If you have modified your SystemUI.apk in any way, do not use any of these mods!
If you've previously ninjamorphed your status bar in any way, you have modified your SystemUI, and/or your framework-res.apk. If you choose to use any of these mods you do so at your own risk!
All of these mods have been flashed multiple times on 6 different tabs, all running either STOCK ROOTED 3.2, or my ROM (variant of STOCK rooted 3.2) with no problems whatsoever.
If you're experiencing problems either you've previously made changes to you systemui using ninjamorph, or some other way, or you're experiencing "pilot error", or you're not running a STOCK 3.2 based ROM!!

I'm guessing that you have a tough time reading the english language in the first post of this thread after reading one of your posts here:

Either that, or you should be using an IPad!
If you've screwed the pooch, it's on you
And you're running taboonay in spite of the first post that clearly states stock based ROMs.
Is it possible to get asus trqnsformer buttons? And will this work with topay 2.2?
Giggles no I do not need a tutorial.
OK now the back arrow on the pink set you created. Maybe this is issue with all of them.In some apps that arrow turns to a down aimed arrow.that icon is the old one and needs to be modified as well.When you open the keyboard to type is one time that its fixable.
Can you make a all pink clock numbed. Wifi status and Bluetooth, headset icons giggles.
Thank you for this in advance.I know I could do it. But your just so good at it.

Great work

From a previous thread I read, I saw that you had previously modified your buttons. Flash back to stock buttons using the file provided in the first post, then reflash your buttons. All should be well.

I have no idea what to topay 2.2 is, but these buttons are in the Acer Iconia A500 forum. If you're using the T-Pad you're in the wrong forum, unless I've misunderstood your question?

Thanks, for those that actually took the time to read the first post, they'd see that there is a stock button zip file to flash back to (based on stock 3.2).

Unless he's not on an Acer stock based ROM, then the potential for a royal PITA hits.
