[Q] Two Firmwares at the same time

Is it possible to have two diferent Firmwares installed? I have ICS RC 4.2 installed on my device but I wanted to try S.U.R.F.A.C.E Firmware. I guess it's not possible but I guess it's ok to ask since I didnt find any answer here or on Google.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think it is possible. but i would wait for more experience people to tell you otherwise.

That is not possible,
There is a difference between firmware and a rom like surface or ICS RC4.2.
Firmware is stock rom that is usually brought by samsung of so. a rom like surface is a rom that has a base of a stock rom and is modified and rebuild by a developer.
ICS is stock software for other phones that will not be brought to the SGS, so developers like CM and Onecosmic have been working hard to bring it on our SGS.
But when you're one RC4.2 and wanna go to Surface you switch from the one rom to the other.

Not possible.
It's Possible to change from ICS-rom to ICS-rom and from stock to stock via cwm-backup, but the base must be the same, like gingerbread to gingerbread, not gingerbread to froyo ...

About MiniCM9-3.0.4 on STOCK KERNEL

I want to clarify if it ever works in stock kernel? because mine is not possible to unlock bootloader, I want to change my CUSTOM ROM from CM7 to ICS ROM. Many also ask if it ever works on STOCK kernel.

i dont think nAa will develop stock version

minicm 9,10 on stock kernel is impossible.

Its impossible to run CM9+ with stock ROM. it requires swap(I guess) and some tweaks + libs that requires with custom kernel.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes you guess !
Man on stock it's just 165mb of ram,so we can't made cm9 for stock rom! On custom is 184mb!

Sorry bro, if u want ICS for stock kernel,

Good Luck

If you want rom for stock kernel, only Gb not isc. :<

[Q] Newbie question about Kernels

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm still learning about ROMs and Kernels.
Before I installed JB Ultimate N7000 XXLS7 Jellybean 4.1.2 v4, I had the Hydracore universal kernel installed.
The JB ROM comes packaged with its own kernel. Is there any reason why I should re-install Hydracore?Is there any advantage to doing this at this stage?
The only change I can see wanting to make to my phone in the foreseeeable future is to try out the official Sangsung Jellybean ROM when it finally gets released as this may include features or apps not in the 4.1.2 v4 and I would like to compare.
Thanks and reagrds
Trevor

which version of Hydracore were you refering to ? if it is compatible with LS7 ( not too sure about that) then the OC version of it will give you the ability to overclock if you are a fan of that feature.
most continue on Phillz ls7 kernel, its the only one which allows the multi-window feature in ls7 to work

hydracore is not compatible with any leak jb based roms. install only if you want your phone not to boot

Many thanks for your reply.
The zip file I have is GL_HYDRACORE_v5-4_STD.zip.
Since, I've no interest in over clocking, it doesn't sound as if there is any reason to re-install this Kernel and nokiamodeln91 says it will cause the phone not to boot anyway.
I just thought having read the claims made by the develope about it being compatible with ANY ROM and all that, that it might offer some advantage if I want to change ROM later.
You mention Phillz Is7 kernel as the only one allowing the multi-window feature to work. Didn't know I hadn't got MW (Duhh!). So would you recommend installing that to make that feature work? I'll do some reading up about that kernel after this.
Thanks again.

Which kernel you are currently on? If you haven't installed any kernel manually, that means you already have Philz kernel, which comes by default with Ultimate JB v4..

Yes, of course, you're right. I just didn't recognise the name of the Kernel. Sorry.

[Q] Change kernel on a stock ROM

Hi,
Someone knows if is possible to change the kernel in a stock rom? I'm looking for one that allow "mounts", "install's/updates" via CWM and support for init.d
BR

if i'm not wrong, i've only seen cm based ones in this section..If you want you can build one on your own and mod it as you like..There are lots of tutorial available to do it..if you don't want or you don't have time to do that, i suggest you to flash a stock based custom rom..Have a nice day!

just install one...mr. droid...
Boooooooo!.....did I scared you?

[Q] Kernel for CM 7.1

Hi friends,
1.I have an Xperia X8.I have recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone.I wanted to install CM 7.1(shakira).So,I downloaded the ROM from the official cyanogenmod website.I read in one of the post that it works only with the kernel FXP30.After searching for a long time(because most of the links are dead) ,i finally found one.I flashed the kernel by using the flashtool provided by androxyde.Through the recovery mode,i flashed the cm7.1.It said flashing was successful.But after rebooting,it shows only "free xperia project" and nothing else happens...I tried cleaning the dalvik cahe,wiped the partition,did a factory reset.But no use...Is there any way to get it working? or am i doing anything wrong?
2.is MINI JB 4.2 better than CM 7.1?since i failed installing CM,i have flashed mini jb 4.2...but i want to install CM7.1 so badly...
Thanks in advance ....

1. FXP30 Kernel??? LOL never heard of that one before.
Any way since I have never heard of that kernel before it probably is pretty old and unsupported. Try using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585 with this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484 .
2. Do you mean JB Mini Project ROM? Because that ROM is Android 4.1.2 and not 4.2. Witch one is better depends on what you want. JB Mini Project has a lot more features and a lot more apps are compatible with it since it is a JB ROM, and any CM7 based ROM would be faster but there would be less apps compatible with it.
