okay, little confused about this whole kernal/rom thing. I flashed the Gingerbread kernal and it shows up in the about phone 2.6.32.33-cm-gingerbread ect.. but then when I flash the CMod 7 nightly ROM(#25) it changes the kernal to CMod. 2.6.32.28(i believe that's it)
so am I suppose to flash the kernal?
U flash the kernal over the Rom, being sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Cyanogen already come pre installed with a kernal. This is why the kernal changed after flashing the Rom.

ALL of the ROMs will have a kernel included into the ROM. They have to for the ROM to work correctly. Look on the development thread for the ROM in question to see which kernel is included and deiced if you want that one or if you want an 3rd party one.
Keep in mind developers use the kernel they included for a reason. If you plan on leaving logs for the developers to advance their ROM i'd highly suggest just sticking with the kernel that is included. some of them even use the 3td party kernels to begin with.
But if the ROM you want doesn't use the kernel you want, yes after flashing a ROM you would flash the kernel that you want. Make sure to wipe the cache and the Dalvik cache prior to flashing the new kernel. AND MAKE SURE TO DO NANDROID BACKUP PRIOR TO FLASHING ANYTHING.

Is there a zip CWM-flashable of the stock CM9 stable (9.1.0) kernel? I flashed Semaphore, something went wrong, and I want to flash the stock CM9 kernel rather than having to flash the entire ROM.

Was at the same point a few days ago. Just wiped cache and dalvik then flashed the whole rom and gapps again. Works like a charm and no data lost or broken.
Now I am testing stock cm9.1 kernel after semaphore and devil.

Yup just flash CM9 and gapps again. Your data will remain.

Not needed to flash gapps
... unless you have deleted
/system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh
/system/addon.d/71-gapps-faceunlock.sh
Modem is also preserved.
Kernel and the other system files get updated to the nightly you flash.

Hey Guys, I have tried customizing my SGY with nice Custom Roms that you guys have provided, they are awesome in so many ways.
My QUESTION is, If I flash a STOCK ROM via ODIN, will I get STOCK KERNEL too with those files?
Or I need to do something else to have my Stock Kernel back?
As I don't know how to restore my KERNEL, I haven't tried custom KERNELs, but I want to try some. So, please tell me??
Yeah if you flash a stock rom you will get stock kernel back

look out dude....you might lose your root on restoring your stock kernel.......
Hey, guys
so i tried to flash the minco rom.
which worked fine but when i flashed the bricked kernel
it was stuck on the google logo for ages.
Is there anything wrong with my download?
or is the kernel not compatible?
I thought one of the main features of MinCo is Franco kernel and you are saying that you flash another kernel... Why not using another rom then?
To your question, how about flashing a reset kernel first then the bricked one?

it is i guess, i just wanted to try out the sweep2wake feature.
just got the phone today, so not too sure about which rom to choose.
any suggestions?
cool ill try a reset kernel
Restore your latest nandroid backup
if you want you can use rasbean jelly. its like minco v6 but optimized for trinity kernel. im using minco though. flash a reset kernel first then flash your own kernel of choice since franco kernel uses a different ramdisk then the other kernels i believe
Hi there, I'm kind of new to this and I really want to flash Paranoid android on my phone
I want to ask if I need to update my kernel to do this otherwise it would mess up my phone (that's what I read somewhere)
If so which one/where would I find how to find out.
Thanks!

Just flash PA it has a kernel included. Simply go into recovery, wipe everything but the sd card. Then install PA and then install Gapps and your done.
Most kernels no matter what will work on any ROM with the same version of android. Lets say stock 4.2.2 kernel can work on almost any 4.2.2 custom rom.
It won't mess up your phone. Just make sure to make a backup. Paranoid Android uses stock kernel. If you are coming from 4.2.1 then u will need to update ur baseband first. If you are on 4.2.2; u should be fine; you can go ahead and flash it.

Thanks for the quick reply! I think I'm ready to flash the ROM. Hopefully I won't break my phone!

just keep a nandroid backup.... and after flashing, u can use a different kernel..... im using franco kernel.... u can try that to imrpove ur battery life and it has many other customization options..... or install franco updater, it flashes the kernel easily and automatically......
How would I go about extracting the kernel from this source, into a flashable zip to replace the kernel used in this gingerbread rom i'm using? Source of what kernel I want to use: http://www.4shared.com/zip/tJZoc2oq/PD15IMG__234_new__.html

I'm trying to use the kernel from an original virgin unrooted GB found at the link. It's T-mobile's official version
And I'm trying to use it with Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.4
Why such the urge to use a certain kernel. Not too sure if the my sense kernel would work with sense3.5
