[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

All this is explained in "Everything X8/W8". Please, make something new instead.

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.

No. I assume the search tool was not working so you had to post the question, right? But I think google.com hadn't gone down today, had it?

Chk Ur framework or kernel most times problem in framewrk ...some time kernel not supported some init.d like hell lock kernet not booted if 99complete tweak present in init.d folder .. so i thnk problem in these two...!!
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

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..

Thanks....

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

You've been given the answer, bro, and it's that you cannot install a custom recovery because you upgraded to MF3. Game over, man, game over!

Not that you care, but this is directly from the XDA rules that you agreed to but obviously did not read...
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
-and-
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
In your case you got a couple of good answers (maybe not the answers you wanted, but still accurate) and you decided to ignore them.

Who assigned you as the snitch. I started reading his threads since I keep seeing you constantly spamming every single one. From what I've read he's currently making progress. He managed to get his phone to boot after what seemed like a brick on mf3 firmware which I'm curious how he did that. You see I found something interesting and what seems can be useful for others who soft bricked their phones with mf3 stock from the information he provided. But you, I see you as that one causing the annoyance and lack of progress to help some one who has been reading and has been trying to figure out a way to fix his problem.

Regardless scott was just following and enforcing forum rules...which is a good thing. If the op wants he can create a new thread explaining how he got his device to boot back up...but from what ive read he never really bricked it...just messed up hus recovery so he couldnt enter stock recovery anymore...could still boot up but bootimg recovery sent him to download mode.
Now calling someone on here a snitch for enforcing forum rules is not ok, if you have a problem with the way hes doing things than let him no through pm or contact a mod if needed for further assistance with the issue...a mod can than evalute the problem and decide what needs to be done lock thread/delete posts/leave alone
Lets try and make xda a nice friendly environment...even if somebody annoys you or does something you dont like...
