How do I know if a ROM that includes the kernal, OR a seperate kernal has root?
BEFORE flashing it?

Sorry for the nooby question, but is it possible to root, and keep the stock froyo rom but add in a different kernel? (intersectRaven's for example)
Yes.
Though I recommend checking out the ROM linked in my sig, if you want to keep the stock FRF91... it has a black bar built in. Looks much better.
if i want to go straight from stock frf91 to that rom you have, i dont need to flash radio do i? because i think my radio is already right
as long as you have a froyo radio already you dont need to flash one for a froyo based rom.
I want to flash a MIUI rom on my o2x butI now have Horsepower kernel on my phone and it isnt compatible so i want to go back to stock gingerbread kernel. is the kernel included in the .zip or do i have to download it somewhere and if so where can i find the stock kernel?
Pls dont say look in the dev thread, but could you be a little more specific.
Thank you
ROM are always complete that means that there is a kernel.. How would you boot without?
Currently I'm using DXLP9 firmware, stock ROM and stock kernel, but with root. I wanted to flash SpeedMod kernel, but it is stated that it is a test release, so I'm not convinced enough to flash it, and I don't know whether it will work with my ROM or not.
Does flashing custom kernels lead to data wipe?

Flashing kernels doesn't wipe anything from your phone.
I'd flash the new CF--Root LP9 kerenel if I were you.
Chainfire thinks he has disabled the bricking bug in his new CWMR.
However, your phone, your risk, your decision.
What's the difference between the CF kernel and stock kernel? If I'm not wrong, CF kernel only adds root and CWM, but the rest are the same as stock kernel.
franco.Kernel 3.0.15 r4
will the cf kernel have issues if I root my current kernel with su busybox? thanks will e flashing with MOP

You'll have stock ICS with no root.
I have a I9000B with the oficial cm10 stable(Android 4.1.2), and I want to flash a kernel for it. I'm new to this kernel thing.
Do I need a custom kernel? If so, which one? Also, flashing the kernel will make me lose something, like apps or user data?
Hey everybody.. Finally i got some strength to flash rom on my SGN.After going thru bunch of posts i got that sgn is affected with brick bug.
So i followed Philz guide about flashing Philz kernel. I have some confusion that
**DO I NEED TO FLASH PHILZ SAFE KERNEL ZIP BEFORE AND AFTER FLASHING ROM**??
Also,Is Philz kernel compatable with all types of ROM available for SGN? If not then which kernel?

What ROM have you flashed exactly? Philz kernel is only compatible with Samsung (Touchwiz) Roms. If you have flashed a new ROM chances you are using the built-in kernel.
See...if you have read carefully then you have noticed that the brickbug is present in ics only.brickbug isnt present in gb.and for jb i am not sure....
As far as philz kernel is concerned it is based on touch and present for ics and jb.

You don't need to flash the kernel after flashing the Custom roms, since almost all custom roms will have safe kernel with them.. on the other hand, you will have to flash a safe kernel after flashing the rom, if you are flashing a stock ICS rom..
What if custom rom doesnt come with a safe kernel?
There aren't generalized rules covering all scenarios. You'll have to mention from which rom you are going to which rom.

Then learn to read the OP. There will be instructions as to what to do if the rom doesn't come with a safe kernel.

keep alternative tar file of a safe kernel compatible with your present rom on sd card and then flash it through mobile odin - this method of switch over is safe
those unsafe kernels have certain distinct plus points, thats why the devs put them in custom roms and if you are an expert and can handle them ......surf on them and feel the difference...... (not for newbies and noobs)

this is how i flash my galaxy note but im not saying its how u should do it: i usually have the rom in my sd card cmw as well as well as superuser. then i flash cmw and then super user..reboot system..after being rooted i then flash a safe kernel after flashing i reboot recovery which is the new kernel recovery ..there i wipe and clean everything..then i flash rom..so to answer your question, i would say flash safe kernel before flashing rom as most roms require a clean install for better performance
good luck..oh i am also a noob..running alliance rom 1.1

To answer your question, if you need to flash a kernel, it needs to be done BEFORE you do any wipes.
If you flash a custom rom, chances are it comes with a custom kernel as people have mentioned. Mostly, these are safe. But to be sure, make sure that you have flashed a custom kernel and rebooted to recovery before you wipe. If this concerns you greatly, then follow the advice in Dr. Ketan's excellent rooting thread, and install the stock rooted Gingerbread rom provided there. This has a stock kernel, but as it is Gingerbread, it is completely safe to wipe. You can then go and flash whatever you want on top.
