I'm confused by kernals so some help would be appreciated.
When hashcodes kernal is complete will it come as part of a rom or will the kernal then the rom have to be flashed.
If then i want to say go back to modaco would i have to flag a new kernal and then modaco or is there a kernal included in that rom.
Apologies for what is probably a very basic question

Once it's final and ROM developers start using it: You won't have to worry about flashing it separately. Everything will come in the 1 .zip file and be installed automatically.
Thanks for that mate.
Keep up the good work.

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.
I am running Android 2.2
Kernel is 2.6.32.17
My question is sometimes if I want to try a new ROM i will flash it and for some reason it does not work. Is that because of the Kernel or the version or both? For instance I just tried to install Bakedsnack 1.9 and it would not load. Sorry or the dumb questions just trying to learn.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

It could be a lot of things, but what specifically isn't working? The whole thing? or just a few bugs? It could be the kernal, could have been a bad flash, you might not have wiped everything first, etc.

My guess is the stock htc kernel with baked snack requires an updated radio. After flashing the rom, flash netarchy's kernel in the same recovery session

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.
if i download a rom than a kernel. than i download a different a rom will i have that kernel i download.

You'll have to reflash that kernel on the new rom

The new ROM will come with its own kernel.. If you want to use your downloaded kernel you have to reflash it.. If you want to go back to the stock att kernel it can be found in that thread I linked to

Either someone has to provide a stock flahsable kernel if the ROM comes packed with a different one. Or you have to run a stock based ROM packed with the stock kernel..
If that doesn't answer your question I dont get what your asking then...

Hi, just a quick question
Kernels come WITH the Rom? right?
...like if I flash a custom rom...no need to worry about the Kernel?
do I need a specific Kernel for a specific rom to run properly?
I've been flashing roms since ages but still dont know a thing about Kernels
thanks

Yes, kernels come with the ROM. If a ROM doesn't have a kernel, it won't boot (hence the name "kernel").
Usually, the most "proper" kernel for your ROM would be the one that came with it. Although sometimes, flashing a different kernel can improve performance/responsiveness/battery ..etc .... But it can also break things if you don't know what you're doing. It's always a good idea to make a backup before doing something.
Have fun.
