[Q] What ROM should i use after install of Manual Nooter? (CM7?)

Im about to install Manual Nooter on my SD card and begin to hack. Assuming everything goes correctly with that.....what ROM should i put on it after?
I hear CM7..now CM7.02 i think is the newest, is supposedly the best and fastest.
I know theres the froyo one as well.
Anyone have any ideas especially if your running one you like, let me know please. Thanks!!

My vote would be for CM7 and the OC kernel. I played around with a bunch of the options and have settled on this as my base.
But it's so easy to try different things I would have to suggest that you try anything that catches your fancy, once you have a good backup of the current base configuration.

I get the CM7 builds here:

The nightly experimental builds are just that, experimental. They may blow up, or not work properly with certain apps, or conflict with the OC kernel. The stable builds are the "officially supported" builds.
What I currently have is a stable 7.02 configuration running with the 4-24 OC kernel and a bunch of installed apps that all work right in this setup. I back it up to my SD card using the"Backup Current ROM" option in ROM Manager (I bought the premium version).
If I update to a nightly I can always go back to that backup if I screw something up. I've only screwed it up that badly once so far

I have everything set up and working correctly (yayayayay!).....but im haveing trouble loading a kernel. Apparently i need an updated CWM on my sd card since i have 3.0.0.5, which is super outdated i think. The 4/24 kernel dowloads and install correctly, but it doesnt affect anything and i can still only OC to 925 through CM7 settings. Soooo im trying to look for the newest CWM so i can dowload and put it on my SD card

You should be able to flash the current version of CWM from the ROM Manager application.

Kernels

Ok, another on of my idiotic questions. Lmao. Which kernel for CM7 latest stable, offers the best functionality. Best wimax and 3G speeds and GPS settings. I want to oc up to 1.2 ghz kinda how stock cm7 does it. What kernels fit that criteria and r the best in ur opinions?

I used x99 with CM 7.0.3.1 and WiFi wasn't working so I went back to 7.0.2.1 but I want to upgrade back up. Which kernel works best with the 7.0.3.1 build?

If you're on the latest nightlies, stick with stock for now, a it's 2.6.35 kernel that toast compiled himself, and the other kernels are 2.6.32.

yeah, i would stick with the stock kernel if you're running nightlies. hopefully we can get some of the custom kernels updated to 2.6.35 soon.

Good to hear. Just flashed back up to 7.0.3.1, restoring my apps, and WiFi works now. I might use this stock kernel for a bit but may use x99's again. DL'd the one he posted for CM 7.0.3.1
Also, after I flash the ROM, I reboot, flash the kernel, reboot and then flash Gapps or do I flash gapps, reboot then flash the kernel? I get confused
It goes ROM -> GApps -> Kernel -> Theme

I have had the most success with the x99 kernels.

Great news!
CM 7.0.3.1 and x99 work flawlessly, better than before actually, and LPP works better now too (i.e., hitting home now actually drops down the notification bar rather than just flashing the date for a split second)

If I use the Google apps from the market using the installer in cm7 do I still need to flash the GApps? Just curious?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Gapps have to be flashed to get the market at the very least. Updating the nightlies though, it automatically backs up the gapps, so no need to reflash

I'm using the stock CM-7 but I want to add some more stable elements - wifi, 4g and insane battery power - from the nightlies, without flashing a whole new rom. any suggestions?

[Q] confused about kernal

I was wondering about the overclocking kernal for cm7. just how do i put it in. Do I have to do that when I first install or can I add it later. also does it really help. I mean is the difference really noticeable or not at all. I am still deciding if I should do it or not.

Kernels are flashed through ClockworkMod and can be flash anytime after you flash a rom. If you use the search bar you can easily find what particular kernel works for your setup.

OK, I think I found the right one but I was also wondering if I could install it when I first installed cm7. When I installed it I saw that it was searching for the kernel and for gapps but didn't find the n and skipped it. Could I install it then

CM7 has the ability to be overclocked as it sets.
settings > CM settings > performance > CPU settings.
just be extremely careful when Overclocking devices. it can takes it's toll in the long run.
and the g/apps are not kernel dependent they are ROM dependent.

OK but what do you mean by gapps are not kernal dependant

On *UNIX based devices. They have a section of the firmware called the "kernel". The kernel accepts the coding, binary and scripts from the RAM/ROM and tells the hardware how to act, what to do, and when to do it.
The g/apps have nothing to do with the kernel.
The g/apps are Google's property and cannot be included in AOSP based ROMs. Those ROMs are developed from Google's code. And developers do not have the ability to add those at will. So we must flash them after/prior (depending on he ROM) to get the Google Apps.

YES! DO IT!
for me its like day and night, it so much smoother with dals OC kernel. and yes you can flash the OC kernel any time. you can flash cm7 rc1 then OC kernel in the same boot. or you can first install cm7 to check it out for a while and then later flash the new kernel. if you planning to flash dal's 6/18 kernel, make sure to get his app NC Tweaks.

thanks. What I want to know is how to flash it. do I do it the same way as gapps( have wifi and reboot in recovery mode) or is there a different way?

You place the over clock zip file in the root of your sd card and flash it through cwm like you would a rom or gapps. So for example you would flash cm7 then gapps then the overclock kernel.

Not to Jack this thread, but I want to update from cm7 old kernel to New nightly build. Does the new kernel flash with the nightly?

When you move from stable cm7 to cm7 nightly the new kernel is included. However the included kernel is overclockable only to 975mhz. If you want a higher clock speed you'll have to use dals 6182011 kernel, up to 1200mhz.

whats is cmw?

it's actually CWM.
ClockWork Manager
basically boot into recovery then flash.

OK. but this may be a stupid question but will the cm7 kernal work with the stable version7.0.3 because that is what I have.

I'm not following you cannot use just a Cyanogen(mod) kernel. They are built into their ROMs.

sorry, but no. dal's 6/18 OC kernel will not work with 7.0.3....

Ok thanks anyway. do you know when the kernal will work with a stable version

The latest nightly should be considered stable. It is in release candidate stable for the next stable build. The next stable build should be released in the next couple of days.

There is a Clockwork ROM Manager and a ClockworkMod Recovery image.
Together they are known as "CWM" Since one is a recovery and the other is a ROM manager.

Updating from cm7 7.0 to the newest nightly build.

Alright, I know. It's here somewhere, but Google, and the search here aren't cutting it. I am on the old cm7(Emmc) with the old kernel, and I want to update to a newer nightly build. How do I go about doing it? I am afraid to flash a new nightly because of the kernel. Does it flash with the new build? I am running smooth now, but wanna try out the working USB. Thanks......

Just do a nandroid, flash the latest nightly, clear the caches. you are good to go. the nightly contains the new uboot and kernel.

Make sure you also flash the latest 6/13 gapps after you flash the latest nightly.

Im also going to update from nightly 87, .29 kernel and 1.1 uboot. I want to install nightly 117 or 118. I know the new uboot gets flash automatically. So just to clarify steps. First install nightly then kernel 6/30, gapps. Clean cache, wipe dalvik. Correct?

What about updating Clockwork Recovery? I've seen some people talking about it -- is it actually necessary?

Use Rom Manager to update clockwork to the latest. Can also use it for flashing nightlies... or RC1.

if you wish to check out usb hosting, you'll need to flash dal's new kernel 6/30 and his awesome app nook color tweaks

[Q] Do anyone know what is the usage of kernel-milestone2-uk_2.2.1-froyo from tezet

After intalling CM10 by tezet, I find that I still prefer the CM7 by tezet. So I decide to install CM7 instead CM10. But when I installed CM10, I installed kernel-milestone2-cn-2.3.4-4.5.3.
So my question is that whether I need install kernel-milestone2-uk_2.2.1-froyo before installing CM7?
Thanks in advance.

same question here hope some one could shed some light.
before i went to cm10 i was on stock froyo though 2.2.

You should be able to flash CM7 with that chinese kernel you flashed, just remember to do a full backup and full wipe, you're downgrading.
Get the 2.2.1 UK kernel and put it in your SD card, just in case something goes wrong even if you get into bootloops you should be able to get to the bootmenu.
If you still cannot get into bootmenu, recover your phone with an SBF.
Good luck

Yes, you need to instal this kernel, else you stuck on boot logo. It looks like new CM7 builds doesn't contains kernel.

Yes,you mus install it before installing CM7.Kernel is most important. The whole system is complied with special kernel Version.

I didn't include kernel not on purpose Will fix this next time...

I'm with the same question so correct me if i'm wrong,
For all who want to downgrade from cm10 to cm7 and are using CH-GB kernel have to:
1 - flash Froyo Kernel
2 - flash latest cm7
3 - install gapps
My question is, can I install this kernel by "install from zip" mode?
