Common Question - LG Optimus 2x

So, im running on CM7 with custom CM kernel, and when i flash another ROM, will i get back stock kernel ? I´m just wondering, bcuz everytime i flash new rom i flash kernel, and i all time forget to look on it. And i have much school now so i dont have time to try it. ^_^

Yes, kernel will change with ROM.

Ok ill flash back stock ROM i dont know what ROMs are best on gaming but Cyanogen is not even as good on 1.5ghz as Stock 1ghz...

How did you measure ?
(Don't use Quadrant Benchmark or something else froyo related ---> cm7 is gingerbread)

Can I install CM7 on 2.1 kernel?

Hi guys, another newbie question from me
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I flash a v2.1 SBF, then the kernel will also be flashed to v2.1 as well right?
Ok, so we also have a variety of custom roms. Some are based on v2.2 kernel, while some are for v2.1.
Now my question is, I know that CM7 is based on v2.2 kernel. Currently, I'm using a stock v2.1 SBF, so the kernel is also v2.1 as well. I want to know that despite this, can I still flash CM7 custom rom (which again is based on v2.2 kernel) on my phone? Or can I only flash a CM6 custom rom that is based on v2.1 kernel?

Are you rooted on stock 2.1? Even CM6 is on the 2.2.1 kernel, so you would have to flash the 2.2 Vulnerable Recovery and then reroot, if I'm not mistaken.

i think you can flash CM7 (if you editing rom)

your kernel will update after install the CM7, because CM7 contain the new 2.2 kernel, you can flash CM7 directly, but remember to flash the BPSW update.

Yes i'm rooted on stock 2.1. Initially, I couldn't get into OpenRecovery after flashing the stock 2.1 SBF, whereas I could when I was on stock 2.2. I did some searching and found this:
http://android.doshaska.net/rootable
and flashed the vulnerable recovery and now everything works fine. I got my phone rooted and currently using the TelusLite v5.2 for Eclair. However, i'm not sure if the vulnerable recovery is the 2.2 or not, i'm guessing it is?

Ok now i'm confused. From what I know, the bootloader for Motorola devices like the Milestone is locked. Therefore, we can't properly flash a custom rom on the phone, and we can't flash a different kernel either (which is why if you try to change one of the settings that relate to the kernel in OpenRecovery, you'll brick your phone).
So I've always thought that only flashing a stock SBF will change the kernel, and that the custom roms will rely on the stock kernel, hence why there're custom roms for different Android versions, like Eclair and Froyo? So ya i'm a little bit confused here.
Also, what's the BPSW update? What does it stand for and is that included in the CM7 custom rom topic? I couldn't find it and Google didn't find anything either.....

Oh and one more thing, I think this is a bug so can someone look into it? The statusbar hides itself and to unhide it, you have to ADWSettings (press the Menu capacitive button, in between the back and home button, and then click More, then choose ADWSettings).
Then, click on System preferences, and the first option is "Hide Statusbar".
The problem is, that option is by default already un-ticked, which means it does NOT hide your statusbar. And yet, the statusbar is hidden........the only way to fix this is to enable the option so that it actually hides it, then close everything and go back to your desktop, and then open ADWSettings again and then un-tick it. This will fix it and make the statusbar appear.
However, if you move your shortcuts/icons on the desktop around, or if you move it to the Trash, then this will undo the statusbar change and will make it hide again. So then you'll have to do this constantly, so I suggest you guys make sure your desktop shortcuts are fully configured, and then make the statusbar change at the end.

ahh I see......but I still don't understand the part about the kernel.
I thought that every new firmware version update will use a newer version of the kernel? If yes, then how can custom roms like CM7 that requires kernel for v2.2, be installed on stock v2.1? Unless both the v2.1 and v2.2 stock SBF use the same kernel version? But then again, why are there specific roms for Eclair and Froyo? If you look at this topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966812
the OP says that some of those roms might not work because of different kernels. So it leads me to believe that if you're on stock v2.1, then the kernel is different than if you're on stock v2.2, hence why the custom roms you can install are separated by Eclair and Froyo......
And lastly, if custom roms like CM7 will install the v2.2 kernel, shouldn't that require the bootloader to be unlocked?? I thought we can't change the kernel yet? I'm confused....

What you're confusing is that the version of android such as 2.2 is NOT the Kernel. The only way for you to change the kernel per se is to flash an sbf such as the Eclair or Froyo sbf. These are signed by Motorola and have holes in the code that have been exploited so we can flash Custom ROMs. The only things that we can do is flash a custom ROM or flash an SBF through RSD Lite. Kernels cannot be changed otherwise.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
ya I understand that, and that's exactly the reason why i'm confused.....
If you flash a v2.1 SBF, then your Android version is v2.1 (Eclair).
If you flash a v2.2 SBF, then your Android version is v2.2 (Froyo).
Now, the problem is that custom roms like CM7 requires the kernel for Froyo. In other words, you have to flash a stock v2.2 SBF first, so that your phone will be running Froyo and that the kernel will obviously be for Froyo as well.
So what I don't understand is, I'm using Eclair right now because I flashed a New Zealand v2.1 SBF. The Android version I'm running on is Eclair, and the kernel version should be for Eclair as well.
Then why is it that you guys said I can still flash CM7, which requires the kernel for Froyo?

I have never tried flashing CM7 from Eclair, so I can't tell you that it will work. I upgraded to stock Froyo on Telus the day it came out and got frustrated with it and rooted the same day.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
Hmm well I'd flash to stock Froyo as well, then I wouldn't have a problem installing CM7 because I know it'll definitely work. Except that the kernel for Froyo doesn't work well on my Milestone. Many people have problems with the Froyo kernel, mostly to do with connection problems like wifi or 3g.
I've had problem with my wifi where it connects to my router, but isn't sending/receiving any data. Either that, or it works for 5 mins and then disconnects itself afterwards.
Many people suggested to flash back to stock Eclair, so I did and my wifi works awesome right now and never had a connection problem yet. Currently, i'm using the TelusLite v5.2 custom rom for Eclair, and it works great but I wanna try out custom roms for Cyanogen Mod, like CM6 or CM7.
From what I know, CM6 is for Eclair because it uses the Eclair kernel. Whereas CM7 is for Froyo as it uses the Froyo kernel. However, I think the latest version of CM6 also uses the Froyo kernel, as somebody mentioned it in the CM7 topic somewhere.......so ya I'm pretty sure you CAN'T install CM7 on Eclair since the kernel requirement is different.

I haven't heard of Eclair to CM7 directly. Every ROM except for the Eclair roms like you are running now are ALL based on Froyo. GB is based on the Froyo kernel, but is a gingerbread port.

yup I know. After all, there is no official Gingerbread support for Milestone (yet), that's why we don't have a v2.3 SBF to flash (therefore not able to get the kernel for Gingerbread).
But ya i'm pretty sure I got this sorted, after all the OP did specifically say that some roms might not work due to different kernels, which is mentioned in this topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966812
so ya you either have to flash the stock v2.1 SBF or v2.2 SBF in order to install specific custom roms that you want, depending on what kernel they're based on, right?
Oh well, guess i'll just stay with TelusLite v5.2 for now. It's pretty fast and stable so I guess that's good enough.

The issue is that TelusLite is no longer updated. Any issues that you will encounter may not be fixed. I've always found RSD Lite to be finicky, but you can always flash the 2.2 VR and try other ROMs and if you aren't happy, you can reflash the 2.1 and go back to TelusLite.
Many options for you to try out!

ya it seems like it. But the latest build (v5.2) was updated on July 2011 so it's only a month old? So ya not too bad. I haven't had any issues with it, and all the stuff that I use my phone for works fine on this rom so i'm pretty happy with it.
I only wanted to try out CM7 because it looks nice and that many of my friends recommended me to use it. But ur right, there're still other great roms out there that I can test out.
RSD Lite works well for me, never had a problem with it so i'm pretty happy. At least the flashing and rooting process on Android is fairly easy. Whereas on Windows Mobile or on Maemo (when I still had my Nokia N900), it was a pain in the ass, especially that the flasher program for Maemo doesn't work on Windows 7
Anyway, thanks A LOT for your help. You've helped me in the other topic I posted as well, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my newbie questions

Well, you can open a CM7 zip package, you should see a file named "boot.img", that is the kernel, came from the stock Froyo SBF, so that it can pass the bootlooder checking, and it will replace the old kernel during the CM7 installation. That is why the kernel will update to the stock 2.2 kernel after you installed the CM7.

I see......in that case, can I replace the boot.img with the one for Eclair? I.e, use the 2.1 kernel instead of 2.2? I'm pretty sure this isn't possible since the custom rom is made to work with that particular kernel version, but maybe it does work?

[Q] New on android and I had problems with kernel talondev

Hi all,
I'm new to android and some things I do not understand, for example I have the galaxy captivate with the following characteristic:
Rom Android 2.3.4 I897UCKH3
boog_kh3_kernel3
su-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip
I updated my cellphone using these files, and all works fine but I wanted install a new kernel the last talondev, but after install it I think that my sgs is on soft bricked, displays the logo of AT & T and then starts "loading talon...", but then restarts.
This kernel can be used with the rom? it is compatible? or What should I do to choose a kernel?
Best regards
Talon is I9000 port kernel you are using native I897 rom. Use Samurai, Corn kernel or Boog's kernel. Actually Im not sure there is a corn or samurai kernel for KH3. I know they have it for KJ roms.
I have to find kernels for KH3, right?
Thanks
Correct. Or update to a newer leak like KJ3 as a example.
And I can change to a custom rom? or that such the cm7 rom?
I talk to do this to exit the soft brick and have it back.
thanks
CM7 has its own special instructions. I haven't kept up with it so go to their thread and read. But ya you can change to custom roms like Fusion IX, Fasty and others that are based of a newer firmware version.

You need to flash back to boog kernel. If this does not work it is best you re-flash to stock KH3 with the one-click solution here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Choose the one WITHOUT bootloaders since you already have those on the phone. It is safer that way.
Regarding CM7 ROMs. You must know they are completely different system compared to the normal Captivate ROMs. Read this thread before flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150
Don't get me wrong. THEY ARE VERY GOOD CUSTOM ROMs...absolutely. But you cannot mix and match.....Follow CM7 instructions strictly.

ROM are always complete that means that there is a kernel.. How would you boot without?

mngb0.5.6
Devil 0.08
Glitch 13.1
SpeedMod Gingerbread
Semaphore 2.7.4
and which one do u prefer for speed and performance?
sorry for my english
Semaphore is standard in a lot of GB Roms
Speedmod would be my preference.. but why?
Are you having issues with it?

i'm new to this there, just want to try some new kernels, see which fits me ye and this one is a bit slow.
is it so simple?just flashe over the existing kernel "stock"?
yes im on jw4 2.3.6.i thought jw4 is for europe so i downloaded it.can i flash jw9 over this one or do a fresh one?
are there any improvements in jw9.
thnx for reply
got my sgs on december 2012 and this was my first flash ever :/ so like i told i have no experience with this for now, but its not so hard.
I am a fan of GB roms, easier to mod :silly:
Phone slow as in how?
It all depends on what you use the phone for as there are roms out there for multitasking, games, overall use etc...
Im on GB Saurom JW9.. Its stable and well balanced (my preference, I am in the UK)
Or the MesoRom, there are many.....depending on your needs
Flashing a kernel can cause issues, a lot of people have crashed there phones cause they flashed the wrong ones
Read up or PM the developer of the Rom to see whats suited to your phone and other peoples posts.
Flashing another Rom :
If its a GB rom that you want to flash then its JVU First, then Root JVU then Flash your Rom that your wanting to use.

thnx for reply i will try that link u gave me tonight.
the gt uses too much RAM and its a bit laggy.i dont use it so much but i like it smooth.on AnTuTu Benchmark i had 3777 score and on Quadrant can remember but i think it was 17xx.
i have like one or two games on it and some apps that i use every day.got rid of some system apps, was experimenting little and i was suprized.had like 190-200 free RAM always.but when i instaled google play it droped like hell 100-140.
after flashing with JVU i can flash any rom i like?4.2.1 JB???
in this curret 2.3.6 i dont have recovey mode.couldnt fix it .tryed 100 times, all possibilities.
i want this ROM to install on my sgs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041928
so can i flash it after JVU???
Yes just follow my Walkthrough and you can install any Rom you wish : HERE
Also If you like my themed rom of JW9 Saurom Thats HERE if you wish that i am using with no lags etc...
Do not flash GB from JB. You need to install ICS first, even for 5 minutes..
Flashing from GB directly to JB will likely lose your IMEI number and that will, depending on your country, leave your phone unable to call, text etc lol
If you know how to restore efs then you can miss out ICS without problem.

our cappy is fast as it is on 4.2 but i have yet to overclock a phone yet and i hear its not like taking the risk of OC your computer so i would like to try it out on the cappy first. so i have googled this already and it comes up with somone already OC it to 1.2 ghz which i would be fine with but in order to OC you need to flash a kernal i think it said? i am not fimilular with kernals with all of the phones i have messed with i have yet to touch kernals, the only time i have flashed a kernal (had a interesting custom recovery) was to root my cappy to put CM on it and got CWM after. i dont see the points of them other than more customization which im not interested in, so how would i go about doing this can someone help me out please?

You do indeed need a custom kernel that allows it. Flashing them is fairly simple, you just need a Odin flashable version if you don't wanna go the custom ROM way.
Make sure that your kernel is made for the current version your phone is running and that it's for the I897! As per your signature, Corn kernel would be your best option as it is for GB.

as of last night i flashed Cyangenmod to get CWM and then flashed paranoid android 3.99, mines a I896 btw i think since i got a bootloop its on At&t/firmware. (only useing on wifi for now) i had corn kernel before to get a recovery and root but if i want to OC it would i have to get corn kernel again? it was a pretty slow boot up every time i turned it on with the stock rom.
No you don't have nor want to. Corn is for GB, if you flashed CM, you're probably on JB.
You'll just have to flash a JB kernel that allows OC (like devil).

Buddy, read carefully what kernels are compatible with what ROMs and what Android versions.
The information you need is already available here on XDA in Captivate Android Development section.

so i was looking through some of my stuff on my cappy (cyangenmod 10.1.3 on it) and i looked at the performance option and it has the option to overclock it to 1.2 GHz, would i have to flash a special kernel? or am i fine like this?
Default CM kernel supports 1.2GHz step overclock, just set it and test for stability issues. Nothing else is needed.

first of all the t211 is a tablet not a phone . you have a dual core clocked at 1.2ghz im sure thats pretty fast i think its because you have too many apps. if you still want to overclock ask at the q&a section of its offical forums here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3 . cyanogenmod sometimes have the option to overclock their devices, i would check that out as well

OC is a kernel option so simply flash a kernel that allows it. That being said, you're not on the right sub-forum like Trozzul mentioned. Be sure to flash one for your tablet. OC has its disadvantages so make sure you read about it before going through with it.
