What are the main difference between the two classes of kernels?
Is it true that it is not possible to use an ICS kernel on GB?
I have seen that kernels 2.6 and 3.0 exists for both CM7 and CM9 (and tryed out several of them), but I have been unable to spot a clear explanation of why you cannot use an ICS kernel on GB ...
Any relevant pointer greatly appreciated, thanks

I recently flashed my Captivate (I897) to stock leaked 2.3.5 I897UCKK1
I am trying to understand what my options are for rooting to regain wifi tethering capability. Unfortunately, I really don't understand the kernel interaction and the potential compatibility issues. Normally, I understand I just need to stay on a kernel that was sourced from the same version (in this case KK1).
Anyway, I am hoping for some information on what kernels might be OK to use with my current ROM. My wish list in a kernel at this point would be BLN, EXT4 Lagfix (Voodoo or new CWM) and Root. From reading, it sounds like there is a lot more support for KK4.. Maybe I need to move to a KK4 ROM as well?
Thank in advance for not flaming the noob (I hope)

I suspect you're right. KK4 does have a good following since it is the newest leak, and there are several KK4 based ROMs out there in active development that support lagfix.
You won't find BLN on any i897 ROMs, though. There's no source code from Samsung so there is no way for the devs to add it in. For that, you would need to use an i9000 ROM or a 2.2 i897 ROM.
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm looking for Kernels for ICS ROMs. There are a lot of kernels but I don't know which will work with ICS ROMs (I tried Abyss Kernel and it's not working).
Could someone give me examples (links would be appreciated)?

With the exception of the kernel included with CM9 - there are currently no safe ICS kernels, and only one custom ICS kernel for Touchwizz firmwares which has a lot of compatibility problems.
This will change in the next week or two as kernel source code was finally posted this morning.
Ok - understood.
Could you tell me why I have ~200 MB free RAM from 1 GB in my SGN? My old SGSII had ~400-500 MB free?
what the benefits of jumping from stock rooted lpf + speed kernel to latest cm9?
i see alot of people jumping to cm9 why?
explian or give me alink to see the real difference over the stock ICS
sry for my noob question (i searched the forum but cant find my goal)

The benefits for me are the tablet mode, safe kernel, and ability to switch internal and external sd card. The rom is also much smaller. However you will not be able to run some tw based applications. You need to try it out.
Tablet Mode/UI is incredible. Safe kernel was important but since franco and speedmod came out with the workaround, they are safe. ROM size varies. Asylum is very small compared to CM9 itself and ParanoidAndroid. But they are all CM9 based.
You will NOT be able to run Samsung apps, like S Note, S Memo, S planner, anything to do with the S pen button, etc etc.

so there is no vital benefit since speed mod ?
Realy sorry for my noob question, I have a locked bootloader
I was researching a bit about the ICS for xperia x8, seeing that only custom roms based on AVD run on stock kernel, because the AVD is based on the same kernel version.
But, isn't possible to adapt the CM9 to run on stock kernel?
Why the CM9 don't have support for X8 on Cyanogenmod website? How developers made Roms based on it?
Moreover, why all the custom kernels are based on version 2.6.29.6? It is impossible or unnecessary to create a custom kernel based on 2.6.32 or up?
Sorry for my bad English.
So ics can't run on stock kernel.Stock kernel miss a lot of components from 3.0 kernel.The kernel is 2.6.29.6 but to have 2.6.32 need to port a lot of stuff so this mean need a lot of time.The nAa kernel's and alfs' kernel is pathed to 2.6.29.6 For now we have ported some components from 32,35,38 and 3.0 kernels.
We do have ics for stock but it is not for daily use. And the development has stopped so don't expect updates/fixes.
As naa said, stock kernel really can't support ics.

yes ics or jb on stock kernel is impossible and trying to port it is pointless.
We have ics for stock kernel, but gods sake its laggy, buggy. Its not good for daily use. U can find roms like ics. X8 is now old. But u can unlock bootloader by paid method. Next time please search.
Really thanks for your answers.
Interesting, I did not know that the custom kernels had several other superior features.
Actually run on ICS stock kernel is impossible, but there is very buggy roms projects based on avd can i run. What I was wondering is whether it is possible to install the CM9 on stock kernel. I do not think it was just out of curiosity noob ... :laugh:

Yeah. Its possible, check in development section.

I've tried the only two ics roms for the x8 stock kernel, and I know it's possible to INSTALL, but did not to use, because there are more bugs than fixes.
My doubt is if I can INSTALL CM9 in stock kernel, since I tested these roms are pure android, not CyanogenMod, they are based in AVD, android debug bridge. :fingers-crossed:
Are there any kernels that support this? I think most kernels like mackay and semaphore dont.
Also why is it that most people do not like/use swap?
