[Kernel] Stock or custom [Solved]

hi guys
This is a noob question but which one is better?what is the reason that developers try to release their ROMs 4 stock kernels when they are custom ones out there?

Custom kernels can give you better performances and more options then Stock kernel. However, there are some phones that cant have their bootloader unlocked so they have to stick to stock kernel ( phone produced after 29th week of 2011 cant unlock bootloader).

As said by him , Custom ROM + Kernel give you a big boost in performance.If you can't unlock your bootloader go with GingerDX(the only one good for stock kernel)
if you can unlock go for GingerDX + Alfs kernel , by far the best in performance.

They still make roms for stock to support those who can't unlock their bootloader. For me, custom kernels are better, with only one problem: it drains a little bit more batt than the stock, but a boost in performance.
I use nAa-11 kernal, it have more updates then the others and a good performance. In nAa roms you have to use it, because the wifi is built in the kernel and not in the rom.
I hope it helped. Sorry my bad english
It the thanks if I helped
Tnx buddies
No currently i'm using nAa 11... i was just confused about this custom & stock stuff

Got many custom rom at forum.
Which custom is better, good batery life and performent?
I am newbie...
Custom for sure, because it improves performance of your phone. And also does other stuff but i think you will not understand.
I think primeHD and GingerDX are good for stock kernel

[Q] can i get rom without bootloader?

my xperia x8 is 11w46 so i can't unlock the bootloader... can i still get a rom with gingerbread ?
Of course you can. Just root your device, install CWM Recovery and flash a ROM that does not require a custom kernel such as GingerDX.

[Q] Couple of boot loader unlocking doubts...

Helloo Everybody..
I will be really grateful if someone found a solution to my problem...
I know that this is not a support site, but a developers world, but after searching and googling, i couldnt help my self.
Mods can close and delete this thread if they want.
My question is that if I flash a Gingerbread kernel(nAa or Alfs) on ECLAIR 2.1...wont it create problems..such as force closing or rebooting sort of problems??
Secondly I read SpydeX thread of unlocking bootloader..i got all the tools ready, but the thread doesnt mentions anything about entering into recovery via kernel on ECLAIR 2.1... the guide just tells that after flashing entr into recovery and flash the rom.
I tried this trick on my friends X8, but no success..
Thanxx in advance
If you flash a custom kernel at the eclair while you have locked bootloader,you will have bootloop(it wont boot,but you can easily fix it),if you have unlocked your bootloader it will be fine
As for your second question,you unlock your bootloader,you flash the kernel(which contain cwm),you enter recovery(cwm),and you flash the rom.

No he's got it wrong.
1. You can't flash custom kernels on a locked rom flashtool won't allow it.
2. Flashing a custom kernel on stock 2.1 will cause it to bootloop, what you'd normally do is enter recovery and flash a rom that works with the kernel.

No,users have reported that custom kernels work with stock rom(I remember very clear a user who used naa kernel with stock rom)
Maybe older versions...
If I'm wrong then I apologize
