[Q] Kernel Help - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on the Icy Glitch V14 Kernel at the moment with AOKP ICS Milestone 6.
My current plan is to install the first Milestone release of AOKP JB.
Does anyone know the best kernel to use with JB? I'd like to know the person opinions of a few people, thanks.
Basically I want the most stable possible, with good speed. I don't really want any overclocking though,

Then just use aokp stock kernel that come with it I don't think there any over clocking in it

How do I flash the stock kernel? It's not when just flashing a zip file in the recovery because I had this Icy Glitch kernel BEFORE I ever flashed AOKP and I still have it after AOKP.
Do I just extract the boot.img out of the rom zip and flash it with fastboot?

OK what you need to find out is what is jb stock kernel on jb aokp then you find that kernel they should have a flash zip then go in to recovery and flash it I think they are using cm 10 stock kernel am not for sure tho

That's because glitch was the kernel for aokp. I think you'd be fine staying with the stock kernel. Also, this device doesn't have fastboot.

Oh lol my bad I knew that. I was super tired yesterday haha. I use Odin right?
And wow I didn't realize glitch was the kernel for AOKP. Knowing that makes a lot of sense now.
Just to be sure though... Just flashing the new AOKP will install the new kernel with it correct?

Well no, you probably won't need Odin, only CWM. But yeah, roms always come with their own kernel.

Rom manager doesn't recognize my unlocked captivate

I just bought a captivate. I rooted and unlocked it ( now t- mobile) . When I go to rom manager to make a recovery it doesn't recognize my device. Only gives option for i9000, epic, fascinate. What do I need to do to make a backup/ recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Unfortunately there isn't an official clockworkmod recovery for the captivate. You'll need to either flash a kernel with cwm already embedded, or manually load up cwm on your SD card. What stock ROM are you on atm?

Sorry you sorta wrong on some things. There isn't official CWM for GB or Froyo. But there is for Eclair. Sounds like he is on GB at the moment. You are correct about having to flash a kernel with CWM in it.
I stand corrected...but yes unless your still on eclair or restore back to eclair, there isn't an official cwm

Yea, I am on GB 2.3.5 baseband UCKK4. I also have a vibrant.I am really surprised at how different the two phones are. I would like to put a custom rom on the cappy. What rom would you suggest? Kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Suggesting ROMs ins't allow because you will most likely get arguing. Flash Corn Kernel and try out some custom stock ROMs if you don't know what you're doing. If you have an idea. I suggest ANY of the ICS ROMs
I would like a stable ICS rom. PM me with any suggestions.

vcremoveboot is the revert zip for voltage control, in case you have unstable settings applied at boot.

devil kernel

hi....im currently using slimbean 2.4 as my ROM and semaphore kernel. those rom is fine and works. but because i like devil kernel so much...im tempting to flash devil kernel to my phone. the question is, is it ok if i flash devil kernel on my phone with slimbean rom...?and if it ok what version of devil kernels that suit my rom..?
thank you so much for your advices.
I am actually more confused! I am using Cm10 and currently on the stock kernel. I am hearing that other kernels would actually make your phone faster. SO i am really confused which one to get and how would i find the differences between stock and custom kernel?

Just read the developers-thread about the kernel you want. there are many people who have already tested the kernels and tell about their experience!
Hope to have helped!
Edit:
cm10 and slimbean are Jelly Bean Roms, so you can use devils JB-Kernels. Latest should be 1.5.2.

Just search and read. There are many guys that stood on the same edge as you are right now. You don't have to ask again in a forum when they already answered it for another user.
My suggestion: Read about the recommended kernels in the slimbean thread and flash. Or just try on your own. BUT ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID IF YOU'RE NOT SURE ABOUT COMPATIBILITY.

It is the best friend of every flasher!
But be sure to restore it with the same clockworkmod version. For example: Can't restore a cwm6 backup with cwm5 or lower...cause the system changed.

Just install Hellybean (follow method as described and remember to backup your apps). Based on CM10 with Devil Kernel - its awesome.

Help noob

I have stock ICS 4.0.4 rom and I want to root
my Note and flash to Cyanogen ROM or paranoid rom.
1 question: Will I be able to flash using Philz Cwm6 Kernel, or should I use other Kernel?
2. Does a stock ICS rom is a peoblem flashing to Jelly Bean Cyanogen or is the kernel which is important for flashing?
P.S Sorry if I wrote something because I'm still noob on phone modding.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
just go to install a safe kernal here for ur ICS4.0.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
my advise is do a backup using the safe kernal b4 flashing any roms it might help u in case something when wrong.
if u really don't know how to flash CM u can go find a rom manager it might be the easiest way for noob.
Flashing cm requires first flashing a cm 10 or 10.1 kernel, have a look in chasmodo's kernel repository in the stickies somewhere for cm based kernels.
Doesn't matter what rom you're on, you're right it's the kernel that's the important part.
Also if flashing cm base, make sure you perform full wipes before and after flash for best stability.

No, you need a specific cm kernel. Otherwise you'll face boot loops.

You won't be able to boot into ics, but once you've flashed cm kernel, then reboot into recovery and flash CM rom and then gapps, then do 3 wipes before boot.

Philz has fixed th error 7 on the 3.99 release. So you can go ahead and do the formats and flash the cm rom. There is actually no need to flash the th cm kernel first.
I have done it myself a couple of days ago

TouchWiz Rom question

i always used OASP ROMS mostly of PAm very good but now i did see a touchqiz rom online with multiple windows support etc. I sure wanne give it a try. Does anyone know which ROM is stable and safe wiht futures like this:
Also, im on ParanoidAndoird with PIE, and on utackas kernal. Can i just wipe rom and flash trough cwm or is it safer to get back to GB and then reroot and thenm flash with cwm?
thnx in advance
utackas and cm kernels are safe. Try Ultate XXLSC v.5.1 by joosh3.

mm had my eye also on that rom, seems good, pictures added and updated frequently, so just do full wipe cache dalvik and install this rom? then flash philzz?? or stay at rom stock kernal? im pretty new with touchqiz roms and i also not sure if XXLSC can be flashed on my n7000? does it have any reason why that is in the title or can i just flash?

The kernel you're flashing before installing Rom doesn't matter since with v4 will be replaced by PhilZ 3.1 for XXLS7

Installing CM 10.1 on p1000

Hey, im a noob so heres my problem, ive experimented alot on my p1000 and one thing that bothers me alot was the video playback which was either choppy or laggy on CM so ive always restocked it back to GB. I think the solution for this is to use another kernel other than CwM. IS there any other kernels that i could try, the ones that could result in very good hd playback once im on a custom rom?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
First kernel and CWM are two different things CWM is one of the recovery mode.
For HD videos... You can use CM 10 or 9 or give AOKP SGT7 a try.... They are much stable...
Sent from Android
Ok so kernel and cwm are different i get it, but could you tell me how to install the heimdall kernel on p1000 step by step? Ive read from somewhere that it could improve hd video playback. And ive already used cm 9 stable and there is no cm 10 stable yet before but the problem persisted. . .
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Heimdall is a tool to flash ROM/kernel.
It is not a kernel. You read wrongly.
Find the same article and read again with the new understanding of what heimdall/kernel/cwm are, and see if you can make out what is that that was recommended.

Yes you're right, I kinda read wrong, the article said about the humberos, now that is a kernel right? I've installed it, and I realized that its a modified version of CwM but the real question is that do I have to keep using the firmware from humberos or could I use other custom roms like SGT7 aokp or Cyanogenmod?
It should be fine using it with other ROMs as long as both are from the same android version
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Humberos is the guy's nickname. His ROM and kernel may also be referred to as Humberos.
But he made kernels back from Gingerbread days.
So we better know which one you flash.
You can use his kernel, for example his JB kernel in, in cm10 and aokp jellybean.
you can use his ICS kernel in AOKP ICS, CM9, and so on.
For CM10.1 it is yet a different kernel.
And it is not just different cwm, the kernel itself is different.

Well ur explanation makes sense, I installed humberos and then humberos's cm 10.1 but the problem was with the camera so I decided to install aokp Sgt7 jb and then the aokp logo goes into boot loop. I then powered off, did the power + volume up and realised that I had installed the cyanogenmld cwm over the humberos. Now what to do?

That's because you installed 4.1.2 ROM with 4.2.1 kernel... It is better for you I'd you restock then update again... And please please please install the ROM with it's kernel because both of them are good AOKP or CM
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Actually from the description, installing aokp sgt7 jb after running cm10.1 should not be an issue as long as you do the 3 wipes (cache, data, dalvik-cache).
aokp sgt7 will replace the cm10.1. But nevertheless, if it is still looping, do the restock.
They are all using CWM 6.x nowadays, it doesn't really matter, but the kernel has to be for the right ROM.
BTW, too many people think cm10.1 is just a little update from cm10.
It is not. It is a completely new framework. Treat it as a different ROM.
So all I gotta do is restock back to GB, root GB, install the humberos cm 10 kernel from SD after wiping everything, and then install aokp Sgt 7 or cm 10 right?

ok well ive flashed the overcome kernel and then I flashed the overcome 4.1 aka the overcome experience and its actually quite fantastic. On my way to flash JB from CM. btw do I have to register the divx licenses? as well as other licenses?
ok im using overcome 4.1.0 and its fabulous. but before I go towards JB, can someone pls explain how to wipe the 3 caches using the overcome kernel, since its quite new to me? also when flashing to cm jb, do I have to clear the caches and then install from internal sd card? Is that how I upgrade it, not clean install it?
ok so I flashed aokp and the big problem is that it installs cwm over the overcome kernel and so the video problem still persists. Isnt there a way to remove the cwm recovery from the aokp rom?
You got it all wrong.
in P1000, recovery is included in the kernel.
Overcome kernel has cwm 5.0
Aokp kernel and cm kernel has cwm 6.0.
Wipe cache and wipe data are there in main menu of cwm.
Wipe dalvik cache is in Advanced menu.
You have overcome ROM 4.1, boot to cwm and flash aokp a few times until it is done, then flash gapps.
Reboot.
There is never a need to remove cwm. Where do you read such idea?

I didn't read it, I just thought about it. Anyhow, I flashed aokp a few times just like you said, and flashed gapps (obviously), but result is still the same. I'll post a video ASAP on the video playback performance that I'm still complaining about...
Video is a kernel/codec related problem.
It is not logical to link it to gapps or cwm.
