ROM Specific Kernels and... Stuff - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm downloading the Gingerbread Sense 3.0/3D ROM to test around with. It has Kernel 2.6.35.10 from the Gingerbread leak for MT4G, which if I'm not mistaken is a Gingerbread ONLY kernel. So, when I decided to flash back to Royal Glacier, will I need to flash the Faux123-Sense-v1.0.0-CFS-SVFaux123-Sense-v1.0.0-CFS-SV kernal BEFORE going back?
Does my question make any sense?

If you flash royalglacier, it already comes with a specific kernel (by faux I believe).
Go back to the royalglacier thread and it specifies what kernal that rom is already using.
Look:
Release Name: RoyalGlacier
Release Version: v1.3
Base Firmware: 2.2.1
Kernel Version: Faux123-Sense-v1.0.0-CFS-SV Thank You Faux123
Recovery Required: Latest CWR 3.0.0.6 or newer

Crap, I meant if I backup to RG

No, you are good. Backing it up will back up the kernel as well. It's a package deal.

kernal for honey sence 3.0 once again

i am running the kernal that came with the honey sence3.0 once again rom. is there a better kernal out there? i came from cm7 with smart ass 1.8mhz kernal and i am dying from not being able to overclock past the 1.0mhz that the kernal is currently running, if anyone can thread a better kernal i would appreciate it. also can i use any 2.3.3 kernal for the rom?? my question is does the kernal just have to match the version of android cuz the 1.8mhz smartass runs on 2.3.4, can i use it on the honey sence 3.0? thanks!!!!!!!

[Q] Cyanogen & Kernals

Newb question that I couldn't find the answer to.
Since CyanogenMod is AOSP and Stock is Sense:
Does the current version of CyanogenMod (v7.x) download files contain changes to the kernal?
If not, will Cyanogen v7.x run stable with the Stock HTC kernal?
I want to try out Cyanogen v7 but due to work I need to be able to flip back to Stock rooted for stability if needed. I just want to know if I'll need to worry about flashing the kernal too when flipping back and forth.
Thanks....
Any ROM comes packaged with an appropriate kernel once flashed. There are alternatives but the stock Cyanogen kernel is pretty boss on its own.
Yes cm7 contains its own aosp kernel.
No sense kernels will not work on aosp roms.
Every rom comes with its correct kernel.no need to flash one unless you want to.

Thanks for the reply.
Will be giving the latest cyanogen RC a try tonight.
And, as I just read, the Nand backup covers the kernal, I wont have to worry about separatly flashing the kernal back to stock if I need to restore.
Somewhere I got the idea that the ROM and Kernal were separate flashes.
Thanks....
Not sure about anyone else, but cyanogenmod included kernel for me has been pretty much 100% stable for me. I didn't get any restarts until I started flashing other kernals and some mods.

[Q] Ginger Yoshi 1.4 - which one to flash?

Hi
I have a MyTouch 3G 32B, with 2.22.28.25 Radio.
I would +1 (My joke, all rights reserved ) to get the newest ginger yoshi, and I know how to get it, but in yohshua's folder on mediafire there are 2 files of ginger yoshi 1.4, one is regular and the other one is fix. Which one should I flash? Both? And what about the "update build prop" which also appears there?
Another question: Is there a newer and better kernel than ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S for MyTouch 3G 32B 2.22.28.25? (I like ezterry's kernel, it is the best one I've ever used, but I want upgrades!)
Thanks!!
Flash 1.4 and if there are issues flash the fix
Ezterry has new 2.6.36.4 kernels. Check the ezgingerbread thread
Hello
Thank you tvall for helping me. I appreciate your help!
I wiped everything, and then I flashed the kernel and the rom, and I discovered that all my apps from the time I used Ginger yoshi 1.2 are still there, even though I have restored my MyTouch to stock rom after using 1.2. Maybe the reason is that the 1.4 rom was installed on ext partiton, just like the 1.2. Moreover, I discovered that the kernel version which can be found in "about phone" is the kernel of yoshi team, so the 1.4 zip file has this kernel in it and it just replaced the new ezterry's kernel.
Is it a good idea to flash the new ezterry's kernel instead? Should I wipe before flashing?
Thank you very much!

Um... huh? Nothing is installed on the ext partition except apps if the rom suports it.
I personally use ezterrys kernel (and his ezgb rom). If you want to use the kernel just flash it on to of the rom. No wiping required
Oh sorry I'm kind of noob so do not expect nothing from me at this time...
Thanks for your guidance! Now I have the best kernel and the best rom (in my opinion)

Froyo Custom ROM -> Gingerbread Custom ROM

I currently have Liberty X 2.0.1 (Froyo based) installed on my Droid X and was looking to upgrade to Cyanogenmod, which is Gingerbread based. My question is what's the procedure I have to go through to get from Liberty to Cyanogenmod? Sorry for the newbie question.
If u know how to sbf I would just go to cm7.com and install the latest nightly for the droidx and flash it right of foyo and if the didn't work sbf to gingerbread and try it from there but I haven't had cm7 on my phone in a while but I'm pretty sure I installed it right from foyo becauae I remember coming from liberty to cm7 and loved it

No offense to this guy, but I think i should clear it up a little bit. Since you are on froyo it will be easier to go to the official CM7 nightlies because, even though they are gingerbread, they run off of the froyo kernel.
There are unofficial nightlies that run off of the gingerbread kernel already, but it will be very complicated process to get there.
Here some tested instruction on how to get on the official and unofficial nightlies. Let me know if you have any questions!
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1633-HOW-TO-Installing-CM4DX-or-CM4DXGB
Go to the link below, it explains the process in great detail. If you want to use the "official" nightlies (based on Froyo kernel) then do the section titled "for froyo kernel rom". Don't worry, it's still gingerbread based, just using the froyo kernel.
If you want to go to CM7 based on gingerbread kernel then you'll have to get to gingerbread .596, .602 or .605 first. Read the section titled "for gingerbread kernel rom".
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1633-HOW-TO-Installing-CM4DX-or-CM4DXGB
I just went from .605 to RevNumbers' CM4DXGB the other day, loving it so far. He just came out with a new release which is on page 375 or 376 of his ROM thread. I haven't tried that yet but will probably update this weekend.

Looks like Kernel before ROM.
Flash kernel before Rom because the rom may have updates towards the kernel
