Hi there.
I want to flash fast custom kernel for my captivate 2.2 official froyo (AT&T). My captivate is very slow and having much lags. I didnt install any lagfix.
I want to install Custom kernel using SGS Kernel Flasher. My captivate is fully rooted.
Firmware is 2.2
Baseband Version: I897UCKB1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FROYO.UCKB1
AT&T Samsung Captivate
Can someone explain android version versus kernel version? I see there is an updated AT&T stock rooted 2.3.6 flashable zip I can download from the forum. It isn't clear if it's the Kernel or the version of Android. What would be the difference with the 2.3.6 from my stock 2.3.5?
My Rogers i727R says it's Android version 2.3.5 and kernel version 2.6.35.11. From what I understand, the AT&T was also 2.3.5 and kernel version 2.6.35.11. So if I understand this update correctly, it updates the entire OK, therefore it is a ROM, not a kernel, correct?
If this is correct, why did not update the kernel to 2.3.6, or is there no such thing?
Yes its a rom. Android gingerbread version 2.3.6 that is the android version the kernel version of this rom is still 2.6.35.11 im not sure what differences there are on this rom it was an ota update we got a few days ago. And the kernel and android version are not the same. I dont believe the kernel version number , and android version are ever the same
The kernel number is the Linux kernel version that the Android build is based off of, and barring some highly unusual set of circumstances, won't happen to overlap.
Title says it all.
I'm currently running MIUIus 2.1.20-EN-Pyramid
Kernel 2.6.35.13 Trinity
Firmware 1.45.401.2
Recovery v2.2.7 RC3
Looking to flash the newer 2.2.3 MIUI ROM. Folks are saying the trinity kernel runs best on it...
Dont know where to find it.
Hey there,
I have recently flashed to Kyrillos v10.6. This rom contains ICS theme but it is not fully supported by my phone. Can it be because of the kernel? If yes, is it possible to flash a new kernel or it will ruin the rom? ( I guess the current kernel came with the rom).
Thanks for your answers.
flashing kernel
no you cant flash a new kernel for the rom.
is there currently a custom kernel for ota 2.2? i currently have multirom installed and need the kexec feature but i notice the kernel img on stock is about 7 megs while pichu's kernel is about 5.5megs so im guessing i cant use his kernel with the 2.2 ota?
