Can someone give me a quick explanation as to what the difference is between 3.0 kernels and their predecessors? I'm not even sure what the name of the preceeding kernel was but I'm guessing 2.0?? Are there any compatibility protocols for different types of kernels and different versions of Android/ROMS?? I did do some searching, but I found the web not being distinct between kernels for actual Linux and kernels for mobile phones.
3.x kernels are better than 2.x kernels.

Well I'm wondering what are differences between tw kernels and aosp kernels because I thought the kernels Works the same no matter the ui.. What matters its the OS huh? I know there's some framework related stuff in tw but still why does this affect the kernel?

I've been looking around for p970's kernels and it seems there really isn't much. Let's say if I flash a kernel specific for another device, say SiyahKernel for S2 onto my p970, will it work out?
It's different specification, you can't install other kernel to P970, or you'll only got hard bricked..
That makes me think of a question... If kernels got the same arch, commits can be injected or is it more complicated than injecting commits and managing dependencies?
And adapting some data like ram size...

RR kernel is an alternative . But chaux please wait for ics sources . Now our community is in the phase of freeze after ics sources is out devs will get diging

Im wondering why all the Android kernels are so old? For example: ive the newest Rom for the ace (thanks to wayland) but it just has a 2.6.y kernel. Even backtrack, blackbuntu or ue have old kernels (3.2.y-3.5.y) . So my question is : why does no one use the 3.7.y or 3.8 kernel ?
Sorry if this is a stupid question i dont know much about it
And sorry for bad english

Wine tastes better the longer you keep it. Many of the kernels are unique in their own sense as well as stable. That's why we still use them !

Our Ace has some hardware limitations and it is very difficult task to port 3.x kernel in our ace.
thanks so would it be possible to get kernel 3.8 rc2 to my backtrack?? cause wlan and eth drivers are not working for my lenovo ideapad y580 in the official kernel
Hi I'm new to the cappy forums and want to see what perks and such there are in the custom kernels, so I'm asking what custom kernel are you using ( if any) and why that one, is it because of features, stability, performance, etc.

I mainly use Nick0703's Unofficial Semaphore because of Step OC and In-Call Volume settings.

For your Xylon 2.3.3. ROM use "sc" or "s_vc_c" version (with Voodoo Color).

What exactly is the difference between sc, vc , c, and s?
At My main phone's forums (Samsung infuse 4g) we don't have any custom kernels yet, one is in the works but that's it so flashing custom kernels is kinda new for me, so any details would be great. Also I am very thankful that you added in which type I should be using for my install ROM, I flashed devils kernel to try out, and thinking about trying the dual boot one, but I want to find out add much add possible about the advantages and disadvantages of the different kernels before choosing a daily driver.

Normal version "c" is for most ROMs, version "sc" is for Slim based ROMs. Your Xylon 2.3.3 runs better with "sc" version.
"vc" stands for Voodoo Colour mod. Download Voodoo Sound app from the market to have VS/VC control.

Which version of the unofficial semaphore should I use with the PAC MAN ROM?

based off of the post above yours i would say "C" cuz if im not mistaken PAC is primarily CM Based, but i would wait for actual confirmation before proceeding
I don't remember what kernel version PAC uses, but just install the ROM and look what kernel it comes with. PAC ROM is ported by the same dev - Nick0703. Most likely the default kernel is already his Unofficial Semaphore, therefore no kernel change needed. PM him to confirm.
If you come from a CM ROM the kernel will stay the same.

This is what the dev said
"You can use any version that you want. But if you're using the "s" version then you'll need to flash HugeMem libs also."

I understand that the samsung captivate is a variant of the i9000. I know examples of phones that has almost the same hardware and can use the same ROM but with the correct kernel: the htc hero and htc magic is almost the same hardware, one rom will work on both but will use different kernel in each other. the huawei u8800-51 and the u8800pro have the same hardware, the diferences are that the pro uses an updated version of the procesor (u8800-51=qualcomm msm7230; u8800pro=qualcomm msm8255) but compatible with the same libraries. Motorola defy can use ROMs made for the defy+.
what's your opinion about this? do you think is possible to install a captivate rom on our galaxy s and viceversa?
Sent from my old but wonderfull GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Not quite so apparently. The reasoning and the mechanism behind it I don't know why, but cross-flashing doesn't seem to work between the SGS and its variants. It doesn't even happen between the S and the S+.
Having said that there ARE a few roms which can be installed on both the S and the Captivate from the same zip (Helly Bean is the best example of this). That relies on Aroma however, so its not quite the same thing.

You can veery simply port it over to the i9000 with a few steps. There should be a thread in the q&a
