Dear All,
I am running now stock Froyo and thinking of using CM7.2. If i installed CM7.2, will i still be able to downgrade to stock Froyo if I don't like CM?

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.
I currently have Liberty X 2.0.1 (Froyo based) installed on my Droid X and was looking to upgrade to Cyanogenmod, which is Gingerbread based. My question is what's the procedure I have to go through to get from Liberty to Cyanogenmod? Sorry for the newbie question.
If u know how to sbf I would just go to cm7.com and install the latest nightly for the droidx and flash it right of foyo and if the didn't work sbf to gingerbread and try it from there but I haven't had cm7 on my phone in a while but I'm pretty sure I installed it right from foyo becauae I remember coming from liberty to cm7 and loved it

No offense to this guy, but I think i should clear it up a little bit. Since you are on froyo it will be easier to go to the official CM7 nightlies because, even though they are gingerbread, they run off of the froyo kernel.
There are unofficial nightlies that run off of the gingerbread kernel already, but it will be very complicated process to get there.
Here some tested instruction on how to get on the official and unofficial nightlies. Let me know if you have any questions!
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1633-HOW-TO-Installing-CM4DX-or-CM4DXGB
Go to the link below, it explains the process in great detail. If you want to use the "official" nightlies (based on Froyo kernel) then do the section titled "for froyo kernel rom". Don't worry, it's still gingerbread based, just using the froyo kernel.
If you want to go to CM7 based on gingerbread kernel then you'll have to get to gingerbread .596, .602 or .605 first. Read the section titled "for gingerbread kernel rom".
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1633-HOW-TO-Installing-CM4DX-or-CM4DXGB
I just went from .605 to RevNumbers' CM4DXGB the other day, loving it so far. He just came out with a new release which is on page 375 or 376 of his ROM thread. I haven't tried that yet but will probably update this weekend.
Okay so I have a Motorola Defy running on Nordic Froyo Kernel and with CM7.1 nightly 63 as the real system and CM9 111202 Nightly on dual boot (SD Card)
I've heard about the Defy+ ROMs such as MS2Ginger. Moreover, recently Epsylon3, the dev working on the ICS port upgraded to the GB sbf. So maybe the next CM9 builds will be running only on the new kernel.
MY QUESTION IS: Will I be able to revert back to stock Froyo safely after flashing the GB sbf? Will I be able to use all the ROMs working on stock Froyo like CM7.1 (which I can't live without) or MIUI? Is it worth upgrading to stock GB now or should I wait for a few weeks so that CM9 gets stable?
Thanks in advance!!
PS : I'm sorry for just another GB to Froyo thread but none of the others answered my question.........

CM7 is apparently custom GB ROM on Froyo kernels
You can move between GB kernel and froyo kernel, just make sure you flash the kernel zip file through custom recovery. That's how I keep moving so often between CM9+GB kernel and CM7.1+Froyo kernel.
Do NOT flash the GB full SBF through rsdlite, you'll loose downgradability.
Some users have reported that customer service said Defy+ will get ICS official update, if so, we Defy non-plus users can get that kernel too
I've really searched everywhere but it's too complicated and i can't seem to find a solution.
So, my issue is that i have installed the ICS CM9 with GB kernel, but i want to install the WIUI 2.4.20 Stable (GB) version that is based on MiuiAndroid 2.3.7 (GB).
I am assuming it requires the Froyo kernel, and if so, i need to somehow downgrade it to froyo before installing it, but i don't know hot to do it...
can anyone please help me?
Also the kernel version of my rom is "2.6.32.9-g21f1a48"

as far as i remember 32 is froyos kernel..(35 is gb's kernel)
so what is the problem???
Numbers are the same I thought. If you flashedthe gingerbread kernel from the recovery, just search for the froyo kernel zip (there is one on epsy's site) and flash it with the froyo based ROM.
Don't forget to wipe.

Hi! A friend left me his Defy so I could so I can put it on steroids as it's working really slow. It's still on Android 2.1 (Vodafone Spain) and never touched. I've read all the necessary stuff for beginners and understood everything (I'm not new to rooting and flashing, I've a fully hacked Desi), but I want to know a few things.
First of all, should I stay on 2.1 as base or is it better to upgrade to Froyo, in which case what is the preferred SBF?
As this is for a friend and I'm not gonna have access to his phone everyday I need a really stable rom. Are the latest CM roms stable enough?
And at last, I've read that some of this roms come with the kernel, what does that mean?
Thanks in advance for all the info.
1) You can upgrade to Froyo, or stay as it is(will not really affect performance) although people report Froyo to be a bit smoother
2)CM7 is very stable and fast( you may use maniacs or other builds)
3)I think you are referring to the 2ndboot ROMs which include a custom kernel. Though I personally use them, they may not be stable/fast enough for everyone
I would suggest trying cm7,9,10 and check how it works out for you

Yes, isn't that 2ndboot thing necessary to be able to boot any custom rom? So now if I would like to install a custom rom I should (update to Froyo,) root, install 2nd init and then flash the rom and recover the nandroid for that build?

Yes that's right, but what nandroid do you mean? Usually you don't have to recover nandroid. For CM7,9,10 you should just flash .zip from cwm. For ms2ginger you have to follow the instructions in op (there you have to use a nand backup)

No, there are ROMs without custom kernel as well. Cm7 and all miui builds are based on stock kernel ( all GB ROMs). JB is available in both, so is ICS, and only a couple of ROMs are nandroid backups, rest are zips. Remember to wipe data as well while flashing builds

If Froyo is officially deployed in your area and carrier go for it

Ok, so now I'm into work. I've already rooted and installed 2init. Nest step is to install a custom rom but I can't decide from this three: Epsylon3's CM9.1 Android 4.0.4, [email protected]'s CM10 Moto Ice Gun Edition or Quarx's CM10 Android 4.1.2. What would you recommend if looking for stability?

Sorry, as you see in the sticky in this very section, asking which is ROM is best in any category (stability, speed, whatever) is strictly against forum rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
