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.
Hi,
for what reason do I a kernel flash? Are the rom included kernels better then a lonestanding once? can I flash any kernal to any rom?
what is the benifit of flashing an other kernel then the once ued in the rom?
thanks
When you change the kernel you choose a better kernel then stock.
They are more tweaked and habeas more support fir different things.
**Using my own JPX kernel, z4mod, 345MB Ram and ext2 filesystem**
- Different file system (better battery life) (I'm still experimenting with finding the right one)
- Access to the kernel allows you to use the led backlights on the buttons for notifications.
Those are currently the main reasons why I flash diff kernels.
You can have direct acces to one of the most advance lag fixes around(voodoo) better performance ,overclocking ,color correction for ur display,more user accessable ram and so on

Good question.
Samsung open-sources their released ROMs from time to time and many of the "kernel-hackers" (I'd call them plain hackers, what's with the prefix?) here utilize it to add/provide features and fix bugs (bugs are overlooked by people, its normal).
For instance, SpeedMods' kernel provides an Overclocking support for your Phone's CPU, if you want that extra juice. Likewise, Voodoo provides a set of visual enhancements among other things.
HTH
Another important reason is to regain 2e recovery if you lost it after flashing a stock firmware. This assumes the kernel you choose includes this feature
Fine, thank you all!
in almost all custom roms there a is an app like tweak manager and has by default on (ticked) some tweaks like
"RAM: Min-free", "I/O: No-a-time", "I/O: Scheduler", "VM:Swappiness" and "VM: Dirtyness"
should we enable it?? or remove (untick) those?
only on rom simplicity the developer says to untick them.
that means that the each rom has some tweaks and we dont need those extra?
if we enable those extra then it will we be unstable for the rom since it has its own tweaks?

Tweaks app comes with semaphore kernel or CF root kernel.
Basically what i do.
If i'm on stock rom with this kernel i use RAM: Min-free", "I/O: No-a-time", "SD card speed", "VM:Swappiness" and "VM: Dirtyness.
If i'm on custom rom i untick all options in tweak app.
Yes all custom roms have their own tweaks so you don't need these tweaks.
Rom will not be unstable butt you'll never know which tweaks are effective beaucouse it overlaps.

at least now I am pretty sure that no body knows what are those tweaks except Chaine Fire
Good information
Thanks for this rare info.
Is it possible to add features like logo2wake, swipe2wake, doubletap2wake without flashing a kernel? I'd like to have my One as close to 4.3 Google Play stock as possible, meaning I don't want to flash a custom kernel, but I also want these wake features because I hate hardware buttons. Is this possible? I'm currently using the Faux kernel and it works fine, but it bothers me a bit that it's not stock.
oops...i meant logo2wake, not menu2wake.
Not available in any stock kernel
How do I know if a ROM that includes the kernal, OR a seperate kernal has root?
BEFORE flashing it?
