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.

i suggest to wipe before installing gumbo rom.I ran into alot of issues from modaco to gumbo..I had to go back to stock and start all over again and install gumbo everything is good now.

Yeah I am running gumbo 1.5 b and gbills custom kernal..... had a few issues during the first install wiped and reinstalled and it is working fine right now

ok then back to one of my original questions again, is there a way i can keep my 60 or so apps :S

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.

Fastest rom to overclock with?

Hey,
I see a lot of people using CM7 is this really the best one?
Also till how many mhz I can overclock on that one?

Yes Cm7 IS really great, in fact you can customize almost everything, and I really like that feature...
As for overclocking you can overclock I think to max of 768mhz(if I'm wrong somebody please correct me)...maybe you can a little bit more but I think it is kernel related...
Hope it helps,
Best regards

Irrespective of which ROM you choose, it is the kernel which allows (or disallows) you from Overclocking. Till date, there are 2 primary kernels which are available - HCDR.Kernel by Jacob and nFinity by arco, and both OC support upto 768MHz. (I think Deep-Knight has recently developed a new kernel for his ROM, which allows OC upto 600MHz)
Because of this, you can overclock your stock ROM also, if you so wish, by simply flashing a custom kernel.

Hi!
Which kernels can I use for original rom, if I want to overclock? HCDR, or Deep, or what? It will make the phone instable, or not?
Thank You!

You can use any. nFinity MC4 offers more features though, like Smartass Governor. It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995301
Else, you can use HCDR Kernel also, if you wish, and decide for yourself which suits you:

It shouldn't make the phone unstable at all. But, in any case, make a Nandroid Backup beforehand.

Thank You

Well M using hell fire .. Cm7 based ....
Which is stable till 729 Mhz overclock m using max 729 and min 490 (I guess)
Phone is Much faster than before and love playing angry birds

I read all the 2 posts, but Im not sure to change the original slow kernel, for a faster. All have some bugs, battery life, wifi, etc...
I dont know, which could be better for the stock rom, or which could be better than the original.
Anyway, I want to try one of that, but I dont know which.
How can I flash just the kernel? And also back up my programs with titanium, or mybackup?
It clears everything like the rom flashing?

Ok, I made it, its cool, and faster. Thanks for the help.

is the overclocking "app" in standard cm7? Or i must go to market or anything else to download it?

[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)

How do I upgrade to ICS?

I have a TF101 on 3.2.1 custom OS and Kernel 2.6.36.3-g32125f7-dirty ([email protected] #92).
It's been such a long time since I went through the razorclaw setup and flashed this thing, I don't really remember what I did so I'm having to start over on knowledge so I'm hoping some of you experts can help me.
I would like to go to an ICS build, doesn't matter if its official, custom, etc. Obviously, a clean and stable custom is nice due to the lack of bloatware and I would refer to stay rooted going forward, but I don't want to deal with things like shortcut keys not functioning, wireless issues, etc .. so if its a custom rom, something 99% functional is a must. Otherwise, I'd be happy to go to stock ICS. The only reason I upgraded to a custom one in the first place was so I could overclock which I don't do anymore.
Could someone point me to something that would walk me through the following:
- Point me to a highly recommended STABLE ICS build that allows for overclocking?
- Point me to instructions on how to take my already clockworked honeycom tablet to ICS? (Do I just drop some rom on an SDCard, reboot, hold down some key combination, select to upgrade and I'm done?)
- AND .. anything else? I know sometimes you have to update radios & kernels and other stuff, and sometimes instructions get crazy complicated, so I'm hoping there's an easy instruction list somewhere?
Thanks!!

These are the two i have tried that are ICS:
Revolver 4 by Gnufabio | 4.1.1 Stable - IC411 | Jun 23 | FaceUnlock | APM
Android Revolution HD 3.4.2 | High Quality & Performance | ICS | TF101/101G
I am currently using Revolver 4 ROM and im enjoying it very much. I have also installed Guevor v22.6 kernel and im OC'ed to 1.2GHz and getting excellent battery life.
Im assuming you can just load up the ROMs on your SD card and just install them through CWM. Just make sure you do a completely wipe of your system after you do a backup.

You shoudln't have to do much!
1) download the ICS ROM you would like to use. I suggest Team EOS' latest nightly or their stable EOS 2.0 ROM, both in the development section
2) reboot to recovery
3) nandroid backup your current boot, system, and data partitions
4) wipe everything
5) flash ICS ROM
6) reboot
7) enjoy ICS

Most ROMs include a kernel. It may only be a stock kernel or the dev may have used a custom OC kernel. A different kernel can always be flashed through CWM.

Correct! Team EOS comes with its own OC kernel based on the latest source from Asus.
