Confused about Dalingrin Kernel - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am loving my 2 NC. Both are 1.4.1 and have been manual nooted using the latest 5.0.1.21 package. I'd like to oc them and I'm confused how to get the latest Dalingrin kernel. I assume the latest kernel was release 09/01/11. This thread indicates the latest kernel is now delivered with CM7. Ok, I use that when I dual boot into CM7, but not running Nooted.
Where do I get the kernel? Do I need to strip it from CM7?
All of Dalingrin's kernels are listed here, however the 090111 directory contains files with reference to 1.2. I've been lead to believe his latest NC kernel was made for 1.3. Are those the correct kernels for a nooted NC running 1.4.1?
If not, where do I get the 1.3 kernel which supports Nook Color Tweaks?

Just use the kernel from the 090111 folder. If you look in the Dalingrin kernel thread, LINK, under updates you will see that on 9/01/11 he updated to 1.3 source code. The kernel code between 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4.1 did not change a whole lot. Between the 1.3 and 1.4.1 kernel code, only 1 file changed that applies to use, so it really is not a big deal to use that file on 1.4.1. Nook Color Tweaks works just fine on 1.4.1 with that file.

From the link you provided, as you can see, one for "emmc" and one for "sdcard", just make sure you take the correct version.

[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.

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.

[Q] Which OC Kernel for CM7 EMMC 7.0.3?

Hey guys,
I'm sure this has been addressed SOMEWHERE, but my searches didn't turn up anything (or anything I could decipher, anyway). (0: Where can I find an OC kernel for CM7 emmc 7.0.3?
The new Dalingrin CM7 kernels don't work for 7.0.3, and Idk what date under his kernel listings correspond to the 7.0.3 version. Thanks for all help!

This is the latest ext4 OC Kernel for 7.0.3 Stable

You Really should consider moving over to the latest nightly! So many more options in Overclocking and running Dal's new tweaks app for cpu ramping and audio management. And so many more advances

[Q] Cm7 & Overclock??

Okay.
I have the latest stable CM7 for the NC.
Which overclock kernel can I use with this, and how do I go about doing it?
I've flashed the dalinger's (sorry if I misspelled that!) OC kernel, both the latest and the 52311, but both result in a blank screen after the "read forever" screen.
What do I do to get this working?
For stable CM7, I believe you need the 4/24 kernel.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
From here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
* 2.6.29 releases are discontinued and no longer supported. They will remain hosted for those that might need them.
* There are separate builds for CM7 and stock 1.2 Froyo
* 2.6.32 CM7 builds currently do not work with the stable CM7 builds until CM7.1. You need to use CM nightlies until 7.1 is released.
* All 2.6.32 kernels require an updated u-boot from B&N 1.2 Froyo. If your Nook has "Read Forever" or a green Cyanogenmod logo on the screen when you boot then you have the latest version. If it says something else then you need to update.

So you're going to need to grab the 2.6.29 kernels, unless you kick up into a nightly. I've honestly found the 107 nightly to be very stable, with Dal's kernel (at 1100 MHz), and it's been my daily driver on SD. Avoid 106 (it doesn't have SU/root).

I don't want to use a nightly, I'll stick with what I know works. I've got no problem using a lesser kernel or whatever, so thanks!
Edit - 4/24 worked! Thanks again!
You may or may not know this, but also after flashing you still need to go into cm settings then into performance to overclock it or mess with any governors.

[Q] Can't overclock with nook tweak

On Nook Color Tweaks, I can only tweak the audio settings. The book and CPU settings don't work. When I try to overclock with nook tweaks, it tells me that "Kernel is not compatible with CPU settings. A newer build of Dalingrin's overclock kernel is required".
I'm running the CM7.1.0 RC1 encore with 2.6.32.9 erick at myhost #87 kernel.
Sorry for the ultra noob question, but please help.
Thank youl.
I don't think you are running dalingrins newest kernal. I'm pretty sure it is not the default kernal for RC1.
Sure for dalingrin and download and flash his 6-30-2011 kernel for the nook.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure if that's the right kernal michael.
Might need to get the one before that. If I remember correctly, the rc-1 came out before he adjusted the kernal for the more recent nightlies.
2.6.32.9 seems to be the Dalingrin's OC 063001 kernel, at least on my NC.
Suggestion: it won't hurt if you re-install just the kernel (060301)
I'm running cm 7.0.3.-encore from a sandisk class 4 16 gb card. I've tried updating rom with rom manager to 7.1.0-RC1. Rom manager reboots into recovery mode but never updates the rom. I also dl'ed the 6/30/11 dalingrin oc kernal, put it on the sd boot, and reboot but nothing is updated. Therefore I'm unable to update or overclock the Nook.
Re: my earlier problem, I was eventually able to flash 7.1.0-RC1, install a newer kernal with oc capabilities and oc my Nook. However, I had so many problems with disappearing icons, lockups, etc. that I went back to 7.0.3.-encore. It is much more stable, if a little slower, on my setup.

[Q] Stock ROM/custom kernal and OTA updates

I just got my A500. I'm running the stock ROM, rooted, and it's working fine for me. I don't really see a reason for me personally to flash a custom ROM. However, I would like to have the ability to OC, and would like some of the other tweaks that come with a custom kernal.
My question is: If I flash RichardTrip's custom kernal, will I be able to update to the Acer OTA 3.2 update when it becomes available? Or will I have to flash back to a stock kernal, update, then re-flash the custom kernal?
Thanks for any help.

That's a good question because I also want to keep my custom rom but flash a OC kernel on my tablet. Where did you find the OC kernel because i have been struggling to find kernel anywhere.
You can find kernals here on XDA that will allow you to OC. For example, Richardtrip's kernal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170319
It's my understanding that once you flash this kernal (or Thor's, for example) you can download an overclocking tool from the market, such as Tegrak or CPU Master, which allows you to set CPU speed, voltages, etc.

OK I got the kernel but now how do I flash it to my stock from. I can't seem to find a how to anywhere. They make finding how to do these things so hard.
Basically to flash the custom kernel you need to load the kernel onto your external SD card or USB. Then reboot into CWM recovery, and select "install zip from SD card". Choose the correct zip, and it will flash it.

Shot! Ill do it and try it and give an update.
i did it with no success. I did a back up. Installed the kernel. Attempted to reboot. Didn't get past Acer logo. Not sure what is stopping it from booting completely.
Any suggestions welcome.

if you are running stock either 3.0 or 3.0.1 make sure you have the correct thor or richardtrip kernel. The current versions of both kernels only work for 3.2 roms, you need to download an older version.

Where can I find the correct kernels for the 3.0? I looked on http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/kernel/ however it doesn't say if its for 3.0 or 3.2.
Anyone know a direct download link to a list of kernels to include the one for overclocking on custom 3.0 rom
Get version 2.5 of richardtrip's kernel from the link you posted earlier. That's the latest of the HC 3.1 kernels. The kernels version 3.0 and above are for the 3.2 ROM.

You need to practice thoroughly reading on these things to prevent seriously your device...
as this was quoted at that kernel thread...
"As of 3.0 this is only for Honeycomb 3.2. For an older version of this kernel to use on HC 3.0/3.1 check here: http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/kernel/"
You obviously saw the link to to kernel list... but completely missed what preceded that link...
Back to my original question... I'm now running richardtrip's HoneyVillian kernel 2.5 on my stock 3.1 ROM. When 3.2 comes out OTA, will I be able to update it as is, or do I have to revert to the stock kernel?
Thanks.
Test this
Look for the older stock rom version before latest release like for us end with. 07 or 11.
Flash your tab to that.I believe the kernel will stifll flash to that.do so then try to update.
Read read read and try at your own risk of course.
Does it work?

I think that what he was getting at is that you really need to read before you act. In the "Iconia A500 Android Development" section under richardtrip post called "[KERNEL] Stock/HV/Taboonay V3.4 for HC 3.2 10-09 - 1.64Ghz/UV control", in the post #2 you will find the changelog for Richardtrip's kernel. From the changelog you can readily find out that the last kernel that supported the 3.01 rom was V1.7. Version 1.8 to 2.5 are for the 3.1 rom, and versions 3 and up are for the 3.2 rom.
It's all there for the reading.
Jeff.
