CM7 RC2 Wimax functionality in Kernel?

Hi I had just flashed the new CM7 RC2 and I flashed the snap dragon kernel and now the 4g is stuck on turning on. I was wondering if CM7 RC2's original kernel is the reason why it works.
If so is there a way to get the original kernel or do I have to reflash everything? Please let me know thanks!

Just reflash the rc2. The kernal in there is why 4g works. Or u can use the savagenzen kernal and just flash that on top of rc2

yeah im using the Savage Zen 0.1.2 can its working great for me....battery life is also amazing with this kernel....give it a go....u can always go back

I only see rc1 and nightly 14 where is rc2???

I can not find where to get rc2. It is not on my ROM Manager

What's the difference between this and RC1? besides wimax I mean. And is it pretty stable right now? Cause RC1 works like a dream for me.

new CM7 nightlies in rom manager?

I understand the newer nightlies are using the new kernel and need an update u-boot? If I flash within ROM manager will this be done automatically, or would I need to do that and the kernel flash manually? Been using 7.03 for a while but I would like to try the new stuff with the sleep fix if it's not overly complicated.
Also, if I go back to 7.03 can I just restore a backup in CWM or is there more to it since I've moved to a whole new kernel?

I am under the impression that nightlies beginning with 86 are including the new u-boot by default.

I am very interested in responses to this too--as I am running cm7.0.3, and would like to try the nightly route. what is the best way to move over to nightlys?

I believe just flash them. It worked for me and I jumped from 7.0.0 to 87!

Just went from 7.0.3 to 87 myself.

This is correct. Don't need to flash u-boot for n86 and on. Just flash the nightly itself, then the 5/23 OC kernel if you want to overclock.

You can just flash the latest nightly right over cm7.0.3, followed by the 5/23 OC kernel if you want to overclock. Did exactly that just today without any problems, and everything is now working wonderfully.
I wiped cache and dalvik cache before flashing, as I always do. Some say this isn't needed, but I always do it anyway. Only takes a few seconds and can't hurt anything.

Thanks Guys--I now feel confident to do this!
One more quick question- Do I need to flash gapps again along with the nightly and OC kernel?
Thanks!

If coming from CM7, then nope

You Guys Rock! Just went from 7.0.3 to nightly 87! I even got my netflix running again! Is it me or is the nightly 87 blazingly FAST? WOW
Thanks All!

[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....
...just flash n118 and you'll be fine

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.

Need a stable ROM!

I'm currently on simplicity jvs and its not stable and it often freezes and reboots. What can I try that won't freeze and reboot out of the blue?

Id suggest a fresh flash of simplicity making sure you follow the instructions to the letter.
I've been using simplicity for weeks and haven't had any crash or lag once.

Hello,i have used jetpack with talondev kernel for a month,very fast,great battery life and seems very stable!
here the thead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178026

I would figure the stock firmware would be the best thing for freezing and reboots.
Ian

most often crashes and freezes are from legacy data and bits of stuff left from previous flashes that are incompatible with whatever you have on there now. Won't matter what you install until you cleanse the phone fully.
Backup your apps and data, copy the backup to your pc or the external sd card and then cleanse the phone and then flash the firmware of your choice.

I've been using MIUI rom for several months now. Have tried going back to stock roms such as JVS but I have to say I liked MIUI more...

after flashing nearly every custom rom out there over the last year I'm currently doing the same as you and running stock JVT with semaphore 1.8.
This stock rom is so good that imo there is probably little point in running anything other than stock. Been running mostly jetpack v6 recently but got fed up of the occasional freezes and reboots.

Cyanogen
Cyanogen... can't get more stable than that...

Norbi is stabel rom
I can suggest to you use Norbi. It is stabel rom.

Used CM7 for a while but returned to stock JVT
Hi,
as the title said, I used CM7 (stable/released version) for some days/weeks and I must admit: it was runnning very stable! But the one thing that got me returning to a stock version, was the fact that one had to download the Google Apps (Gapps like RomManager calls it) in order to get Gmail, Market, Maps etc, on the device.
Having said that Gapps that I downloaded, was only for 2.3.5 where CM7 is running (a modified) 2.3.7; so after a few days the Google Framework FC'ed heavily on me, after finding some solutions online (cleaning data etc), I came to realize that I use Gmail (and its "native" features) very often, so I decided to return to stock JVT.
I am checking from time to time whether Gapps is being ported to 2.3.7; and if that's the case (hopefully soon) I will jump immediately back to CM7
I hope my post helps you a bit further.
Cheers!

Been running cm7 for weeks now, not even 1 FC on me...All kind of issue is due to bad flashing and user's error! What i suggest is that you make a clean install. When i say "clean install" meaning flashing back to froyo, wipe internal SD, cache...etc Flash GB latest FW den to cm7. This is to make sure u have a very clean base, no doubt is troublesome, but end of the day, its very worthwhile...

Yes I second or third that (Cyanogen Mod 7.1)
Its the best man!

But most people won't want to wipe their internal sd every time they flash a rom

Another vote for CM 7.1 Solid as a rock.

Stock rom with some great kernels (GalaxyEE , Semaphore)

GalaxyRom: as sable as stock plus you get a very nice Blue theme.

[Q] Custom Recovery and Kernel's

I'm curious what everyone thinks the best Recovery is for the Razr M and what are the best kernels as far as functionality, battery life, and speed.
I haven't played around with installing custom kernels and ive been using the CWM recovery on my razr m and im currently running the AOKP custom ROM.

Dead Calm, arghhh kernel
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 4

I think cwm is better than twrp but I am prejudiced by having wiped my extSD in one of the newest versions. See my signature link for an older BETTER version.

I like TWRP 2.6.0 and I had been having great performance with Carbon ROM 1.8 running the arrrghhh kernel. Currently though I'm having issues running arrrghhh kernel with the Carbon ROM 4.3 nightly (runs smooth with the provided kernel) and yes I did use the CM 10.2 version. I'm sure this will sort it's self after a few more updates.
***edit***
as of 8/16/2013 the arrrghhh kernel and carbon rom nightlies now work together properly

When installing a custom kernal, do i have to take any special steps such as wipe dalvic etc..? Or simply just flash zip from cwrm?

Making a backup and wiping cache and dalvik are always a good idea.
