[Q] How to update rom to latest CM7 nightlies ?

Hello everyone,
I want to know how to update CM7 to latest nightlies without waiting devs to make an update to the ROM.
Im using GingerDX.
Is it just flashing the cm7 zip in CWM? Which file to download from official CM7 site.
Any idea is welcome.

Install only rom, not kernel.
Use one of FXP028 FXP030 or stable CM71 kernel.

Means i download the nightly zip and flash in cwm, thats all?
Why need to flash kernal?

nAa's kernel seemed to be working fine also with CM nightly

i would like to know how too...

Can u explain? I dont want any kernal, i just want CM7 nightlies. Im using stock kernal.

Only those kernals work? Im using stock kernal.
How to install the rom? flash using cwm?

Custom kernels works only with unlock bootloader.
CM7 rom doesn't work on stock kernel. Only on custom kernel.
If your bootloader is unlock, the best kernel for CM7 right now is either nAa's kernel or fxp028/030 as mentioned previously.
But cam is vga only and fm radio doesn't work yet on CM rom.
If you still want to try CM rom, flash kernel i mentioned and install CM update zip in CWM.

Does this means i have to use cm7 hero nightlies instead of shakira?

[Q] Question about ICS

Hello, what is the best ROM for ICS on Samsung Galaxy S? I'm fed up of stock ROM being slow and want something fast and want ICS I've never flashed before and downloaded "Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC2.11" but don't have a clue on how to start flashing it, as he hasn't made a noob tutorial
Any help would be appreciated.

How about trying teamhacksung's ICS port aka soon to be CM9 rom? Just follow the guide on the first page.

But I'm a noob :-( I don't even know how to root or put CWM on... what ROM would you recommend for noob like me, ICS one or CM7? I Just want something really fast that will make games smoother and that works fully....

Do you know how to flash a kernel via Odin? You will be rooted and have CWM automatically once you flash a custom kernel. I would recommend you to use a custom GB rom, as not all apps are compatible with ICS and more bug free.

oh ok.. is the standard CM7 the fastest ROM then?

In my opinion, no. Perhaps you would want to try the Simplicity rom.

[Q] Stock Rom & Custom Kernel

Hi Guys
Also, Now Im using Stock Kernel + Stock ROM with some modules from great doixanh
But I need Swap because...sometimes its a little bit laggy and I need custom kernel
It is possible to have custom Kernel and Stock ROM?
cheers

Nope, NOT possible.

Firstly, android is not really ready for swap and it will most likely spoil your sd card much faster.
Secondly, if you need a custom kernel, most probably you will need a custom rom. My recommendation: GingerDx.

[Q] what are best rom & kernel

hi. i love my note. i'm using stock la4 but now i would like to try a custom rom, but i can't decide. someone can tell me which are for you the best rom and kernel.
and another question: using custom rom or kernel, the counter will increase or not?

I think ROMs made of the new ICS leak will become the best , it's supersmooth
Darkys ROM is the nicest with GB i think

I use Rocket Rom v22 and it has been great so far. It uses Abyss kernel 3.6.
Its the only custom ROM I've tried so far.

best kernel

Hey guys im a newbie to captivate and its developments and i need your help..............
i came from the htc g2 where there is no needed for flashing kernels for backing up roms/restoring or for wifi issues, everything was pretty much straight forward after root , but with the captivate you need a specific kernel for somethings to work...i need to backup roms and restore it......so my question which kernel comes alreaady rooted/hack to flash with odin and support wifi,clockwork,backup with clockwork recovery and everything ?
plus after flashing the kernel can i flash a recovery via rom manager?
i want a kernel that supports must miui roms and asop roms (ex: ics, jellybean)
and flashing kernels dosent break/erase root right?
PS: does a rom come with its own kernel?

Devil3 kernel 1.4.1 work just great for my JB MIUI 2.9.7

do i lose root or have to root everytime i flash a new kernel
or when i flash a rom

Devil Kernel is best on JB ROMs. Corn Kernel on GB. Every ROM comes with a kernel in it. It depends on the ROM. Reading is important.

Ok...so I rooted with corn kernel and flashed xm7...but asphalt 7 is too slow...can I flash a kernel to make the game faster ex: devil kernel and keep the Tom with root
