[Q] Changing from CM10 to Danik MS2Ginger 4

I´m currently using CM10 by Tezet, and I have flashed the GB kernel that Tezet put in his post. It all works nice and well, but I wanted to try Danik's MS2Ginger. Does anybody know if it works well without flashing the custom kernel from Danik? Can I just keep my current kernel? If possible, I'd appreciate the opinion of someone who has tried this.
Thanks in advance!
PS: On a side note, my current kernel (CM10) is named: 2.6.32.9- Jellybean, etc, etc. I had the impression that the Linux Kernel for Gingerbread (that is to say, the GB Kernel) was 2.6.35. Why keep the froyo kernel number?

I think you can keep your kernel but you would really benefit from the new one when using Danik's ROM. I haven't tried his ROM though.
CM10 has a thing called "2nd-boot" which allows us to boot custom kernels, from an already running kernel.
2.6.32.9 is the Linux kernel version (which btw, the number doesn't have anyhing to do with the Android version, but newer Android versions work better with newer kernels, that's why there is a WIP 3.0.8 kernel for the Defy). "Jellybean" is just the branch of code. That kernel has the ramdisk and init binaries (I think, kernel experts please correct me) necessary to boot JB.
Motorola has never actually released a kernel newer than that for the MS2, the "official GB kernel" it's an older kernel "built" for GB.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for answering!

Is there a good kernel for CM ROM?

I used this rom, it's nice an stable, but now i wanna use a battery-friendly kernel. But NOT the AK.
Is there an another KERNEL?
I use this rom btw: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359834

Any kernel that mentions it's CAF compatible should work for CM

We do not allow questions asking for best/good rom/kernels, please make up your own mind on which kernel to use, head over to the development section and see which best suits your needs.

[Q] install AK kernel with slimkat rom

I am now using slimkat beta 1.95 with stock kernel of the rom and I want to flash the ak kernel v.305 on my phone.
Can I flash it directly?
BTW, how does this kernel do in battery life and what app can I use to adjust the performance？
Thanks...

And I am using the trickster Mod ,I fond a problem that I can't lock the min frequency to 162HZ or even 384hz, it will jump back to 912Hz automatically. Howver, the system monitor app shows that my cpu was working on 384-1512Hz.
Do you know how to solve this pro?
BTW, I have used ak kernel for almost 1 day and I think ak kernel makes the battery drain faster than the slim stock kernel....kind of upset:crying:

[Q] Best kernel for 5.0.1 GE? i9505

Hi
Ive recently decided to try a custom rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 ), and i loaded the Googy-Max kernel ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741181 ) which was included.
Now ive watched a few videos with other custom roms and kernels, and im wondering. What is the best kernel?
Ive heard about the Alucard kernel ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590246 ),
Is it better/worse or the same?
Also there's this one continuing Googys work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../kernel-hulk-kernel-v1-stweaks-based-t3050469
Any other suggestions etc. are also appreciated im newbie when it comes to flashing Kernels.

Alucard has a lot more stuff that you can tweak. Unfortunately it also has a problem with that rom. For some reason there is high battery drain on that rom when using Alucard's kernel. I also tried that Hulk kernel and had the same battery drain. The only kernel where this didn't happen was Googy-Max.

Hulk kernel is based off Googy Max. I currently use it in place of Googy Max and haven't seen the battery drain you have.

Is it better or worse than Googy's kernel?

I don't know what "it" is. You'll need to clarify your question by explicitly stating what kernel you're referring to, and for that matter, whom the question is addressed to.

The hulk kernel - I tried to quote you, dont know why it didnt show up.

The answer to the question is that right now they're both equal in quality as Hulk kernel is built off Googy Max. However, Hulk kernel will be updated while Googy Max is discontinued.

Can someone port Asus' stock kernel for CM12.1/RR based ROMs ?

As the title says. I switched to a custom stock ROM and started using the stock kernel with it, the stock kernel is so smooth, I fell in love with it. The performance wasn't the same in RR ROM. It provides the same battery backup as other kernels I have used..including quanganh's, X AnwarMov's and BORETS24's custom stock kernel. Can someone port the stock kernel for CM based ROMs ? Or is tank0412's custom kernel is what I'm asking for ?

Try this:
It a stock kernel which was ported to CM12.1/RR:
