I want to overclock the NS without having to replace the rom. Would this be possible? Are there additional risk associated with overclocking without replacing the ROM?
Thanks in advance!
Yes you can. All you need is root and clockwork recovery. Then download Netarchy's kernel. I know for sure that his kernel works on stock rom since he said so himself. I don't know about Trinity kernel though.
I run stock and I've tried both the trinity stock kernel and netarchy cfs kernel OC @ 1.2ghz. Personally I've had better results on the netarchy kernel.

Can I put the stock kernel if I don't like the netarchy kernel? Because I use Bluetooth and wifi always and i just wanted to get a little bit more of my NS!
Make a nandroid backup of the stock rom then flash the kernel. I use netarchy every day and am usually on wifi with my bt earpiece in.

I'm having a hard time finding how to flash the kernel (found a lot about how to flash the ROM though).
Would someone link me a FAQ or list some quick instructions on how to go about it?
I have ROM manager installed already (woot!)
Thanks again!

same thing as flashing a ROM.
just make sure if you're flashing a kernel over stock.. make sure its the kernel built for the "stock" rom and not a kernel for CM7 or Bionix etc

Assuming the kernel you want is clockwork compatible, put the zip file of it in your sdcard.
Boot to clockwork recovery either via ROM Mgr (if you're rooted) or via fastboot if you're not.
In Clockwork, find the menu option to install a update/file/zip from sdcard. Select that option, then navigate with the volume keys to the zip file for the kernel. Select it by pushing the power button. Select and answer yes for the are you sure warning. Wait for it to give you a update applied successfully message.
Navigate up to where you can select reboot, and reboot.
You should be on your new kernel.
I WOULD ALWAYS RUN A NAND BACKUP FROM CLOCKWORK BEFORE MESSING WITH THIS STUFF. And ideally, I would keep a copy of that backup on my laptop or dropbox account, not just my sdcard on the phone.
Thanks for all your (very quick) help!
I'm currently running Netarchy's 1.2.2 BFS @ 1.3 and it definitely feels a big snappier with loading some programs
I put today the netarchy kernel 1.2.2 and i have one question...
Where is the VooDoo Improvements? I didn't find the application!
For me the kernel is stable and wifi works even when bluetooth is disabled!

As reported by many users upgrading to kernel 2.6.32.28 will kill Skype on your GTAB ( It will be stuck on Sign-in)
Can anyone PLEASE post link where to download the older
2.6.32.9-dirty kernel?
THANKS
Reflash the custom rom you are using. It will give you the kernel you want. Dont wipe data and you wont lose anything. It will replace the custom kernel you installed with the one that came with Vegan rom.
Thanks, I may have to do that.
I wish there was a way just to extract the kernel from the zip file.

When you load the kernel are you flashing the zimage manually or using a packaged update.zip that includes the wifi module for that kernel?
all im doing is using flashboot to flash the .img.
no idea how to flash it properly, could use your help

Are you building the kernel and boot image yourself or pulling them from somewhere?
I just downloaded netarchys 1.2.4 cfs, and extracted the .img and fastbooted it onto the phone.
What i think you're saying is that this is not the correct method to flash the kernel because the other folders are not being put on to the phone (hence broken wi fi)
If thats the case just need help to flash the kernel properly

Ah, indeed
So, that zip is meant to be applied via a custom recovery (CWM). It will flash not only the boot image, but also copy the newly build kernel modules, create a custom /etc/init.d and install busybox.
By flashing just the boot image you are missing the rebuilt modules and the custom init.d (which mounts /data with noauto_da_alloc, etc and sets windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=72 for better scolling performance. As a result of not having the rebuilt kernel modules when the network module tries to load (bcm4329.ko) the version number won't match the kernel and it will fail to load. If you check dmesg you'll see it complaining
Flash this via a custom recovery and you should be fine (just place the entire zip on your device and then chose it from CWM).
right, thanks that clears that up.
however, i have another problem now!
Basically i flashed the netarchy kernel, realized i had no wifi, did a factory reset thinking ill get back to stock, however im stuck with this netarchy kernel AND ive lost CWM.
3G is being a pain and not downloading properly etc.
Is there any way for me to reset and just flash CM7 and Netarchy 1.2.4
im outta ideas :/ thanks for the help!

When you reboot on a stock rom there is a script that checks recovery and if it is not stock it will reflash the stock recovery. This is an easy fix though. If you want to stay on stock you can flash CWM through fastboot, flash the SU binary and then rename/delete the script (/etc/install-recovery.sh or something like that).
If you want to just flash CM7 then just download the full zip and place it on the phone. Flash CWM through fastboot, boot into recovery and flash CM7 as desired (RC or nightlies). Then go ahead and apply the appropriate netarchy kernel - there's a separate version for CM IIRC. Make sure you do a full wipe before you flash CM7.
Ok so im downloading rom manager onto my phone, downloading CM7 on pc, then will transfer to phone (whole zip right?) then i just reboot in recovery, wipe and flash CM7, and THEN start on the kernel lol
Ok thanks ill keep ya updated really appreciate it

Thanks a lot booted and rooted running CM7 and Netarchy
Hey guys, I have a Mesmerize and I don't know a whole lot about how the complicated stuff that is done frequently on XDA works.
However, I really wanted Froyo for my Mesmerize so I could use flash. When the EA11 Froyo kernel leaked, I flashed it. I was able to do so because the instructions were very simple, I just downloaded Odin, ran the adb program and entered a command that put the phone in download mode, and then flashed. It all just worked.
Since I don't know about the more complicated stuff, I didn't go with any pick and pack or modified ROM with different recovery and such, just the stock EA11 ROM with stock recovery. It all worked great and was very easy.
Then EB16 leaked and I did the same procedure, just using the totally stock ROM. Then did the same with EC10. I also have Titanium backup and had to use it for EA11 because that ROM wiped all the installed apps, unlike the next two.
Currently, I am on EC10 with stock recovery and I am rooted with SuperOneClick.
I really want to flash the EC10 voodoo kernel for the speed and sound improvements and save battery life because it is undervolted. Is this the latest EC10 voodoo kernel? If so, can it be flashed with Odin? If so, how? Will it wipe out any of my apps or settings? Do I need to worry about recovery or cwm (what do those even mean)?
I always see people mention the voodoo lagfix as well. If I understand correctly, that is built into the kernel right?
I know I have a lot of questions, many thanks to whoever wants to help me out

You won't be able to flash any custom kernel's or ROM's via ODIN, these are all packaged in flash-able .zip files that are installed through Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM) it is a bios like interface that loads prior to booting of the OS which allows you access to the system files, and also allows flashing (installing) of custom rom's. Basically you'd just need to go back and odin the EC10 rom with CWM recovery located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997359. Once you have flashed that in ODIN, you will be able to boot into the red clockwork recovery using the three button method or using the Quick Boot application from the market. From there, you can "install .zip from sd card" to flash the voodoo kernel of your choice (the one you linked is correct, download and place on the root of your SD card.) And no, flashing a kernel typically does not require any sort of wipe, nor does it affect your current applications/data when flashed. Lagfix is built in but must be enabled through the voodoo option within CWM.
and FYI - this needs to be posted in the general forum as that is reserved for Q & A, the development forum is for releases only. Hopefully a MOD will move this for you.
Im on synergy v1.3 and if i want to go back to stock do i only flash the stock rom in pda??? on the android development section for this phone they have a direct download and a kernel download ..will i need to flash the kernel download too? im not using a custom kernel(i dont think synergy has one yet). There is nothing wrong with my phone but just in case something goes wrong i need to know what to do.

Yes, all you need to do is download the stock verizon rom for this phone onto your computer and Odin back to stock using PDA. Only use the PDA section in Odin. If you didn't change kernels then you don't need to flash the kernel, because the kernel is already the stock one. You can use custom kernels on Synergy. I'm using a custom kernel on synergy 1.3. What I did was downloaded the verizon ez recovery app from the play store, give it root permissions when you open it. Included in that ex recovery is a few different recoveries including CWM and TWRP and invisibleks v2 kernel. You can flash a kernel using that program. You simply just select the kernel and hit flash and then reboot recovery. The only downside is that when you flash a kernel you lose your recovery. But since you have the easy recovery, you just flash a recovery and you'll get a recovery back. Its really simple and awesome! I'm using Imoseyons Lean kernel v12 and it allows over clocking to 1.9! And under locking as well. I'm getting phenomenal battery life.

It shouldn't matter if you have a flashed a custom Kernel. Just Odin the stock ROM
Also if you want to go completely back I believe you will also need to flash the stock recovery and possible the flash counter.
Noob question, so ive downloaded EZ recovery and I understand everything about the different recoveries I can use to flash roms. My main question is with the kernels. Can I use any kernel with any rom? And in general is the point of a updated kernel to better how the hardware interacts with the software?
Thanks!
Well the Beans rom comes with a custom kernel (imoseyon lean kernel or whatever) while Synergy just has stock. Just don't try to flash the lean kernel on the latest Synergy rom or you'll get a bootloop. I learned the hard way

I appreciate the quick response. But what does flashing a different kernel do for me? And whats the difference between using kexec vs cwm?

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) kernels have the potential to increase battery life, increase performance, and allow for overclock. You can read up on the custom kernel here:

I tried the imoseyon lean kernel for a while & saw absolutely no difference whatever in the battery life over the stock kernel.
I'm not worried about it anymore as I am now using the Hyperion extended battery which has ridiculously long life no matter what kernel you are running......
My question is....is it possible to run invisiblek kernel without it bootlooping or is there any other kernel that can run in conjunction with synergy1.4 without bootlooping?

I tried to reply to the main thread in the development thread for SynergyROM, but as I do not have the 10 posts required, I figured I'd put it here. If this is against the rules, please let me know and remove this.
Apparently the busybox install on 1.4 is a little botched, and as such, when you install LeanKernel 12.2, it doesn't run the scripts it needs to in order to run it's magic.
All you need to do to get it to work again is fix the install of busybox on your phone. You can download busybox from the Play store and install it to your phone, and after that, installing the kernel should be relatively easy.
I've been running 12.2 on my phone for the better part of today at work and have had no issues with it at all.
I'd attach a link as proof, but apparently I can't do that either.
