If I back up using older version of CWM like 3.3 then restoring using the latest CMW is that OK? in other words, is it backward compatible?
I think you need atleast CWM v4 to be able to restore from v5 from what i have heard and read
I think the backwards compability was added in v4

Android 2.2 (Froyo) and Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) use different filesystem structures.
ClockworkMod 2.x is for Froyo, Clockworkmod 3.x is for Gingerbread.
A higher release number does not necessarily mean "better".
ClockworkMod 3.0.0.6 can support both. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952433 for details.
Thanks could not find that thread last night

okay, little confused about this whole kernal/rom thing. I flashed the Gingerbread kernal and it shows up in the about phone 2.6.32.33-cm-gingerbread ect.. but then when I flash the CMod 7 nightly ROM(#25) it changes the kernal to CMod. 2.6.32.28(i believe that's it)
so am I suppose to flash the kernal?
U flash the kernal over the Rom, being sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Cyanogen already come pre installed with a kernal. This is why the kernal changed after flashing the Rom.

ALL of the ROMs will have a kernel included into the ROM. They have to for the ROM to work correctly. Look on the development thread for the ROM in question to see which kernel is included and deiced if you want that one or if you want an 3rd party one.
Keep in mind developers use the kernel they included for a reason. If you plan on leaving logs for the developers to advance their ROM i'd highly suggest just sticking with the kernel that is included. some of them even use the 3td party kernels to begin with.
But if the ROM you want doesn't use the kernel you want, yes after flashing a ROM you would flash the kernel that you want. Make sure to wipe the cache and the Dalvik cache prior to flashing the new kernel. AND MAKE SURE TO DO NANDROID BACKUP PRIOR TO FLASHING ANYTHING.
After updating to a new version of Darkyy's Rom on my Galaxy i9000 I have been having issues with the clockworkrecovery mod. The Rom is working fine however when try to enter recovery mode instead of showing CWM it shows a scattered, random mixed coloured screen however it is not frozen and will allow me to reboot by pressing the power button. is there anything I can do to fix this?
Bootloaders? Did you go from froyo to gb? If so, Search for bootloaders thread by nitr8 in development section and flash gingerbread bootloaders.

If anyone is having the same problem just flash Darky's 10.2 resurrection edition via odin. This has fixed all issues

Try to flash any custom kernel like semaphore or galaxian or talon dev and then come back to ur default kernel. You can either use SGS kernel flasher by Neldar or Odin (load kernel as PDA, DO NOT select "re-partition").

Hi there, I'm kind of new to this and I really want to flash Paranoid android on my phone
I want to ask if I need to update my kernel to do this otherwise it would mess up my phone (that's what I read somewhere)
If so which one/where would I find how to find out.
Thanks!

Just flash PA it has a kernel included. Simply go into recovery, wipe everything but the sd card. Then install PA and then install Gapps and your done.
Most kernels no matter what will work on any ROM with the same version of android. Lets say stock 4.2.2 kernel can work on almost any 4.2.2 custom rom.
It won't mess up your phone. Just make sure to make a backup. Paranoid Android uses stock kernel. If you are coming from 4.2.1 then u will need to update ur baseband first. If you are on 4.2.2; u should be fine; you can go ahead and flash it.

just keep a nandroid backup.... and after flashing, u can use a different kernel..... im using franco kernel.... u can try that to imrpove ur battery life and it has many other customization options..... or install franco updater, it flashes the kernel easily and automatically......
