[Q] Ginger Yoshi 1.4 - which one to flash? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

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)

Gumbo 1.5 + Modacos Custom Kernel

So I want to put gumbo 1.5 + modacos custom kernel on my phone but I don't want to wipe, or if I do wipe i want to keep all my apps. What is the optimal solution? Im rooted and I have modaco 2.0 on it right now. Help a newbie out
Oh yea by the way, is flashing a kernel the same procedure as flashing a rom? Thanks.

No...flashing a kernel only replaces the kernel portion of the ROM. The software and customizations remain intact.
I put Modaco's custom Rom over TTG 0.1.6 and Fresh 1.1 without issues.
I meant is it applied the same way. And I wanted to put Gumbos rom on it as I read thats fastest.

The dev who built that ROM also built a kernel that goes with it. If you want to flash the Gumbo ROM, then look into the Gumbo kernel as well. Theres nothin wrong Modacos though.

Oops...sorry, completely misread that.
Yes...it is applied the same way.
Apply the rom first, then the kernel. Otherwise the rom will overwrite the kernel.

Use titanium to backup all apps.You can get that from the market it's free.I use that myself and it's a great program
You don't need to wipe, just flash it over Gumbo.

[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.

Wanting to upgrade to Gingerbread

Hello Everyone,
I have become bored of Cyanogen now and believe it would be better to run the stock ROM with a OC kernel,
Is it possible to run stock gingerbread with a OC kernel,
or
would I have to stick with my froyo backup at the moment and a OC kernel.
Any opinions also welcome
Also which kernel is best?
Thanks a lot!!
I don't get what you mean by "Stock Gingerbread". There is no such thing for the Wildfire, and, probably, there never will be. This thus only leaves you with an option to restore your Froyo Backup and use an OC Kernel with it. For a Sense ROM Kernel, look at nFinity MC4 from here:

Thanks for advice, appreciated! Also is there a gingerbread custom rom which is almost the same as stock gingerbread
Thanks very, very much!
Any AOSP ROM (This includes Cyanogenmod 7) is a "Stock" ROM. If you are looking for completely Stock, then have a look at DevNull.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139259
And if by Stock, you mean one with HTC Sense, then, the choice is limited to only SFM, which is incomplete, and it seems the project is shelved, with even emanilio not working on it anymore because of the loss of his Wildfire

Sorry to be a pain, is it possible for a guide of how to flash a kernel, I am worried something will go wrong
The process is the same as it is to flash a ROM. Place kernel file on SDCard > Go to Clockworkmod Recovery > Install Zip from SDCard > select Kernel zip.

[Q] Flashing Kernals

I am currently running the frozenROM v 1.2 and I am running the genocide kernal. I want to try the twilight kernal and was wondering what I would need to do to switch.

Just download the zip and flash in CWM, reboot, enjoy!
So I just need to flash the new kernel and that is it? I don't need to reflash the ROM? Is it really that simple?
Yes that simple...just download to sd card and flash.
Wow. I would have to do a lot more to be able to change the kernel. The teams on this site are incredible.

a simple search and you would find your answer....
but i'll help anyway.
TO INSTALL ANY CUSTOM ROMS, YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF AND CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY INSTALLED.
the best Sense 3.0 rom out there for the MT4G is Virtuous Unity. it is a beast rom, a must try.
website: http://www.virtuousrom.com/
thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143177
to download:
1) download rom from the VU website.
2) VERIFY THE MD5SUM (done using the free mand5 app from market)
3) put the .zip file into SDcard.
to flash this rom:
1) reboot to clockworkmod recovery BE SURE FASTBOOT IS OFF
2) once in clockworkmod recovery, DO A NANDROID BACKUP IMPORTANT
3) do a FULL WIPE.
full wipe is:
Code:
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under advanced menu)
4) after you have full wiped, flash the rom, and wait for it to finish
5) reboot NOTE: THE FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE LONGER THAN USUAL, PLEASE BE PATIENT.
6) *hit the thanks button*
7) enjoy Virtuous Unity
PLEASE USE THE SEARCH BUTTON NEXT TIME.

nope, the kernel that comes with the ROM is pretty sweet
but, if you other kernels.. here are two of the best kernels for sense roms:
UNITY V9 KERNEL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121939
Demonspeed kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214489
radio, i would suggest the panache radio, works best for my phone, but you should try all of them. each phone is different.
link to radio thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059347
no problem, just remember to use the search button next time
thanks again, i already booted up, thanks a lot, and yes i will

no problem bro. enjoy Virtuous Unity!
Virtuos Unity is the best sense rom to me hands down. Sense 3.0 is amazing. Hope everything is going well or has gone well with your process.
I prefer using TDJ's newest sense Rom that is sense 3.5. Im using it now and I love it. It's fast and stable and has good battery life and a lot of tweaks.
