[Q] Custom Recovery and Kernel's - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm curious what everyone thinks the best Recovery is for the Razr M and what are the best kernels as far as functionality, battery life, and speed.
I haven't played around with installing custom kernels and ive been using the CWM recovery on my razr m and im currently running the AOKP custom ROM.

Dead Calm, arghhh kernel
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 4

I think cwm is better than twrp but I am prejudiced by having wiped my extSD in one of the newest versions. See my signature link for an older BETTER version.

I like TWRP 2.6.0 and I had been having great performance with Carbon ROM 1.8 running the arrrghhh kernel. Currently though I'm having issues running arrrghhh kernel with the Carbon ROM 4.3 nightly (runs smooth with the provided kernel) and yes I did use the CM 10.2 version. I'm sure this will sort it's self after a few more updates.
***edit***
as of 8/16/2013 the arrrghhh kernel and carbon rom nightlies now work together properly

When installing a custom kernal, do i have to take any special steps such as wipe dalvic etc..? Or simply just flash zip from cwrm?

Making a backup and wiping cache and dalvik are always a good idea.

[Q] confused about kernal

I was wondering about the overclocking kernal for cm7. just how do i put it in. Do I have to do that when I first install or can I add it later. also does it really help. I mean is the difference really noticeable or not at all. I am still deciding if I should do it or not.
Kernels are flashed through ClockworkMod and can be flash anytime after you flash a rom. If you use the search bar you can easily find what particular kernel works for your setup.
OK, I think I found the right one but I was also wondering if I could install it when I first installed cm7. When I installed it I saw that it was searching for the kernel and for gapps but didn't find the n and skipped it. Could I install it then

CM7 has the ability to be overclocked as it sets.
settings > CM settings > performance > CPU settings.
just be extremely careful when Overclocking devices. it can takes it's toll in the long run.
and the g/apps are not kernel dependent they are ROM dependent.
OK but what do you mean by gapps are not kernal dependant

On *UNIX based devices. They have a section of the firmware called the "kernel". The kernel accepts the coding, binary and scripts from the RAM/ROM and tells the hardware how to act, what to do, and when to do it.
The g/apps have nothing to do with the kernel.
The g/apps are Google's property and cannot be included in AOSP based ROMs. Those ROMs are developed from Google's code. And developers do not have the ability to add those at will. So we must flash them after/prior (depending on he ROM) to get the Google Apps.
YES! DO IT!
for me its like day and night, it so much smoother with dals OC kernel. and yes you can flash the OC kernel any time. you can flash cm7 rc1 then OC kernel in the same boot. or you can first install cm7 to check it out for a while and then later flash the new kernel. if you planning to flash dal's 6/18 kernel, make sure to get his app NC Tweaks.

You place the over clock zip file in the root of your sd card and flash it through cwm like you would a rom or gapps. So for example you would flash cm7 then gapps then the overclock kernel.
Not to Jack this thread, but I want to update from cm7 old kernel to New nightly build. Does the new kernel flash with the nightly?

When you move from stable cm7 to cm7 nightly the new kernel is included. However the included kernel is overclockable only to 975mhz. If you want a higher clock speed you'll have to use dals 6182011 kernel, up to 1200mhz.

I'm not following you cannot use just a Cyanogen(mod) kernel. They are built into their ROMs.

The latest nightly should be considered stable. It is in release candidate stable for the next stable build. The next stable build should be released in the next couple of days.

There is a Clockwork ROM Manager and a ClockworkMod Recovery image.
Together they are known as "CWM" Since one is a recovery and the other is a ROM manager.

Updating from cm7 7.0 to the newest nightly build.

Alright, I know. It's here somewhere, but Google, and the search here aren't cutting it. I am on the old cm7(Emmc) with the old kernel, and I want to update to a newer nightly build. How do I go about doing it? I am afraid to flash a new nightly because of the kernel. Does it flash with the new build? I am running smooth now, but wanna try out the working USB. Thanks......
Sent from my Optimized Shift using XDA App
Just do a nandroid, flash the latest nightly, clear the caches. you are good to go. the nightly contains the new uboot and kernel.
Make sure you also flash the latest 6/13 gapps after you flash the latest nightly.
Im also going to update from nightly 87, .29 kernel and 1.1 uboot. I want to install nightly 117 or 118. I know the new uboot gets flash automatically. So just to clarify steps. First install nightly then kernel 6/30, gapps. Clean cache, wipe dalvik. Correct?
What about updating Clockwork Recovery? I've seen some people talking about it -- is it actually necessary?

Use Rom Manager to update clockwork to the latest. Can also use it for flashing nightlies... or RC1.
if you wish to check out usb hosting, you'll need to flash dal's new kernel 6/30 and his awesome app nook color tweaks

What's the most vanilla ICS rom for Note?

Hello,
How are you?
I am a bit tired of Touchwiz and some lag on the phone, so I would like to switch ROMS.
So, I was wondering what is the most pure vanilla ICS 4.0.4 ROM for the Note, wich is stable and has the fewest know issues?
I am sorry for this thread, but there are so many roms developed that it is really hard to choose.
CHeers and thanks!

For an ICS ROM you need to use an ICS kernel. But Paranoid comes packaged with the kernel. By the sound of it you are on GB at the moment. If it's already rooted, do a full wipe then flash Paranoid and the GApps package from the same thread.
If you are already on ICS, do not do full wipe until you have read up on how to do it.

Any downsides to this ROM?
I am currently on stock Note, with ICS 4.0.3 and stock kernel. Not rooted.
Would a kernel like Speedmod work better with the nightly rom? Or is a stock GB kernel better?
Whichever rom I choose, I need to use PC Odin to revert to GB before flashing anything, right?
Cheers and thanks!
Why would anyone use cm9 If Paranoid Android is the same with much more features..
You cant use any tw kernels like speedmod. Cm9 need cm9 kernels
can i install Paranoid Android from ICS through Abyss 4.2 kernel ?

You can use modded kernels with PA, but only cm based ones like AniDroid/bbq etc.. and not the touchwiz ones like speedmod/franco.
To install, follow what the post above says, or as you mentioned use Odin to go back to gb, root/install cwm, full wipe then install Paranoid Android.

As stated above cm9 only uses cm9 based kernel, you don't have to worry about that, it will install itself when you flash the ROM.

Because not everyone like tablet mod, I've tried PA but returned to cm9 because the phone UI is more suitable for the note .
And then there is the faster update cycle of cm9.

Just my two cents: I found PA to be super buggy in comparison to CM9, the boot splash didn't fit the screen and the UI lagged a lot more, some of the apps were great in tablet mode, but CM9 feels overall far more suited to the Note.

If you want a true Vanilla experience install the 4.04 Stock Rom, you will find the there are now a lot of people using it, it is stable, fast and the battery life has improved. There is a large difference between 4.03 and 4.04 official ROMS.
I have been using it since it came out and I find that it beats everything else I have tried. On the down side the 4.04 kernel still contains the EMMC Bug so I cannot do a full wipe without reverting back to GB.

I run that same setup often, it's pretty solid, and aaronpoweruser (or something like that) has a CM10 kang optimized with Linaro that's a nice build.
You need to be in recovery and wipe data (labeled factory reset), wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, and wipe system. Then if I were you i'd flash the rom, boot and setup and let it sync and settle a bit then reboot to recovery, make a nandroid backup, and wipe cache and dalvic cache and flash the kernel zip file.
Lots of people just flash the kernel without wiping the caches, it's kinda up to you on that one, it takes approximately 2 seconds Im thinking.

Sounds like you have some reading to do bud. The first post should have the details but it may be in the next couple down. Could be in Rom Manager if you flashed ClockWork Recovery. Search for some rom basics so you understand kernal before flashing. Also, I always try to read at least the first few and last few posts of any new rom to see what people are saying about the rom.
Good luck!

What's wrong with the stock kernel? Stock CM10.2 is very smooth and fast.
Using KT as I wanted to try UC and UV but it's not smoother or anywthing
