[Q] Installing Kernel

Hello Guys,
I'm a new member here and i wanna know more about rooting and installing ROM on my X8, it is already rooted but i wanna know what on it and how to use my phone to the fullest
So guys can anyone please help me how to install the KERNEL on my phone, i am really confused about that because of the REQ, needed by some of the ROM's.
Please Help

(Assuming you know how to flash)If you want to install a kernel then get kernel manager lite. After that flash it. Once your phone reboots use whatever cpu app you use (I use cpu master) and you can overclock your phone to however much your kernelgoes up to. For installing a rom you must do the same thing but either donwload a rom from rom manager or download a rom on your pc and transfer it to your phone.

wrong sectionnn!!
1.read first all sticky threads from all sections (are the top ones with the pin...)
2.if you have a question, type it on xda site search field and if don't find your answer there, then open a thread
3.the question threads are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1218
4.and when you want to visit the x8 xda forums, start from here(also, some legends say is highly recommended to save it in bookmarks of your browser): http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=846

[MINI GUIDE] Phone Vocabulary - x8 Specific

This thread is being created to explain, in short, a few common phone 'terms.' Now although there are many threads explaining the same thing they are 'thicker' and written differently. A different guide will help a different person. I think it is valid that there is more than one explanation of the same thing. If you have ANY suggestions, please leave them in post form below. I have explained this relative to the Xperia x8 and this is why it is in our territory.
Remember that this is a MINI guide. So not every term in the android language will be explained. For a more complicated guide see HERE or on the everything x8 w8 thread here. Both guides are different.
Anyway Here is a mini guide about phone terms:
A ROM stands for Read Only Memory, ususally on this site referring to the phone's internal memory where your apps are stored. It's like an operating system. (OS) When people say they're flashing a new ROM, it usually means they are installing a new 'operating system'. A custom rom may have new features different to the STOCK rom.
The term Stock usually means the version of something installed by the manufacturer. Or in other words, the stuff already on that thing.
An .APK is a Package on Android. Usually you will meet these when installing apps on your phone. This is, simply put, just a file extension, like .exe on windows.
Rooting is simply giving your phone administrators rights. No roms or anything. Once rooted you could install clockworkmod which would allow you to install a rom that would work on you STOCK kernel (the one that comes with xperia).
A kernel is a set of instructions to a phone. different kernels or custom kernels (not stock) enable you to flash some more advanced roms as not all roms will work on STOCK kernel.
Also, in most cases, different kernels allow overclock and undervolt. These things allow you to make your device run faster.
Unlocking your BootLoader is required to install a custom kernel. Unlocking a bootloader can be difficult and if done wrong, can brick your device completely.(make it useless like a brick) This is why I did not do it until a few weeks ago - because I was scared. If you do however find yourself bricked, look to my guide no further than HERE.
You flash kernels with Flashtool. But you MUST have an unlocked BootLoader to do this.
If I was to recommend a rom, I would say MiniCyanogenmod (CM for short). The developer, nAa, focuses on getting the galaxy nexus android - pure version. Check out my review on the stable ever wonderful MiniCM9 HERE.
Links to Flashtool, ROMS and other things mentioned will be in my other guides hyperlinked in the article.
Please be generous with the 'Thanks' if you appreciate my effort.
Special Thanks to I Am Nice for his consistent helpful feedback

You should better explain what kernel is. Like conection between hardware and ROM

Pls don't disrespect chris. I can tell you he knows what he's saying (he didn't get to become RT for nothing).
I admire your efforts, but please add more definitions. For example: you didn't really explain what "bootloader" means. And like chris has said, it's already explained (in morr detail) in another thread. Hopefully you'll add more jargons in the near future. Good job though. :beer:
Edit: you may want to report those users thay are stalking you.

Thankyou. After reading this again. I see that I have crossed the line on that one. Apologies to Chris and thanks to you. :fingers-crossed: I was quite tired and wasn't really paying attention. But I have typed that same line so many times that those keys on my 'board are worn out. Just a bit angry. But sorry again. No disrespect was intended.

Need Testers for Dark Paranoid port!

I don't use my phone often, only to check Twitter, and tumblr.. I need more testers for my port that I have done. I have talked to Daxxmaxx about this over twitter, he is allowing me to publically post it only if I refer you guys to the Original thread.
SO, I just ported my first ROM *Hooray*
I'm using this right now but I need other people helping to see if it's good, smooth, and what not.
Here is the ORIGINAL Rom thread for the Galaxy Nexus : Dark Paranoid Android
and here is the link to my rom : http://www.mediafire.com/?y5hx2e5zl9hbdub

I couldn't post it to dev since I'm under 10 posts, since all I do here is Lurk. anyways if you are going to help please reply if you've downloaded or will try it out. Have a great day!

ONLY FOR NEXUS S 3G .. Don't have a 4G so I didn't plan on porting one

Once you hit 10 post let me know and I'll move it for you. If I move it now you won't be able to post in it Let me know if you need anything else as well.

Just a suggestion. Add in the original post this is for the Nexus S and not the Nexus S 4G. I snuck a peak at your build prop to find out but others might not be so lucky and do a wipe on a Nexus S 4G only to find out they can't install it.
Good luck!

This port was based on which version of PA?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using Tapatalk 2

Same question as above.
Can we also have early reports please? I'd like to help you but since I rely heavily on my phone at work (GPS, agenda, basic functionality) it must no reboot every sec.
Does it includes some of DaxMax tweak for epsilon and the like or have you made it a "stock black PA" ?
Thanks for your work anyway.

Ok ...
So i have notcied that the users of my ROM are fairly split between the use of Aroma Installers.
Well i have got a compromise.
The ROM.zip will stay as it is, however i may release an aroma package to install apps that are removed etc
Does this suit everyone ? Please let me know

I think that this will SURELY satisfy most people! :good:

Good choice, i agree.. That way everyone can be satisfyed...

Yes I agree too. It's fair all round!! For those people who do want aroma. And the other side of people who can keep the Rom how they like it too, and choose not to add any extra tings if they wish.
Good compromise Will.

Ya make one main room zip and 2nd one for modification + appss

this question is asking the same logic as "why is my computer slow?"
there are 78,644,223,887 available reasons why,
i'd suggest broadening your "team's" knowledge of the principles and basics of the software industry,

Did you cook your rom with kitchen...If yes then youm must sign your rom and all apps inside it.To My thoughts the rom does'nt even start this is the most common case.Check whether your rom contains boot.img and build.prop as if Kitchen din't report any error.If you modified framework please sign it with Jarsigner and other modified apps also.Now sign your rom with kitchen and then flash it.....
Gud luck,
Im awaiting your rom..
optimusinc

Best I can say is try installing the modded apps one by one..c if they work..then test ur tweaks to b if they work..n finally make the zip file correctly by comparing to other zips..mostly probably u messed up ur updater script..

i understand that you are a budding developer,
however i've seen you making threads recently on issues that could be solved be either doing research and proper utilization of the search function,
if you really want to learn i'd suggest learning it the proper way by researching the basics and understanding how the android system works, making question threads won't help you at all and it never did for everyone else,
as you can see you need to look for the answers on your own,
considering google and xda has both a search engine,
please care to look into those matters which confuses you,
try first building your own updater-script and making a flashable zip file,
proper ROM building is not easy so i'd suggest keep your heads up and learn it the right way,
also,
people will just probably troll and ridicule you with threads like this
