ROM flashing Question - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

So i'm currently running rubix focused 2.0.1 and I wanna try some other ones out as well. But they require certain kernels or that you at least be at or above a certain kernel version. My kernel version is 2.6.32.9. So do I have to sbf eveytime I wanna flash a new rom. For example I would like to install darkslide or liberty. What would I have to do to make my phone able to flash one of thoses?

[Q] Do all kernells work with all roms???

Do all kernells work with all roms???:confused

an does this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682419
work with the rom:RCMixHD
Not all kernels work for all ROM's. Some are made up for Froyo, and some for Gingerbread. I read the OP and I did not see any restrictions, so it is probably fine for 2.2 and 2.3. Also, make sure the kernel is for your phone. You cannot use a kernel made for another phone. Make a nandroid backup before you flash.
Edit: I just saw you have a desire and the phone was from the desire forum...soooo you should be good..but like I said, you should make a backup before flashing anything.
kernel
I'm currently running the COS-DS 2.3.3 ROM with the latest BiffMod 2.2.1 Kernel. It works better than the kernel, which comes with COS-DS, but not every kernel will work with every rom. It also depends on your phones hardware.
nope. the kernels are set for certain types of roms.

How about mix the 2.2 kernel with 2.3.3 userland?

[Q] ROMS with no kernel

I am new to android and trying to figure things out. I notice a lot of the ROMS say that they don't have a kernel. Do I need to download and flash a kernel as well as a ROM? What would happen if I just flashed a ROM? I was looking at Eclipse and Tweakstock as possible options, but both say they don't come with a kernel. I am running the stock kernel (2.6.35.7-EP4). What would happen if I flashed Eclipse or Tweakstock with the stock kernel? Would it work? If I do need to get another kernel, any suggestions?
Why would you look at Eclipse? It's extremely outdated. Also, TweakStock has a version with a kernel in it.

Eclipse was the only ROM i noticed that said TW4. I wanted to be able to resize widgets and I know u can do that in TW4. As for the Tweakstock, I see now that there r multiple versions, though to be honest i'm kinda not sure which one im supposed to use. I think the last one with the experimental repacked EP4D kernel, but im not entirely sure. Again, I'm new to all this. Been on stupid windows mobile for the past few years, so i apologize if this is "no-brainer" stuff.
if you're on stock then the repack kernel should work fine

Q: is there a kernal that I can use with the stock ics to o/c?

I'm running the latest stock rooted firmware from Asus and have been trying to find a o/c able kernel that works well with the latest ics rom. Anyone know of one? Or how I can change the current kernel to allow to o/c?

please search before you post. this has been asked multiple times. Asus has not released the kernel source so there are no custom kernels

[Q] Kernel for stock rom?

I have a fully rooted phone but sticking with the stock rom, the latest. Is there anyway I can flash a better kernel capable of overclocking?
Pull a nandroid then flash one via CWM. I don't think the current kernels are optimized for the last two versions of stock software. Which version of software are you running. If the kernel sucks load your nandroid and you are back to where you started.

I'm not sure how to pull one from the custom roms. I have OTA 1.63.531.2

None of the currently available kernels will work on a stock ROM higher than 1.28.531.10. So, if you're running the latest 1.63.531.2, you're out of luck.

[Q] I want to remove Bloatware and overclock this to 1.3

hi i just got this samsung galaxy s 4g and rooted the phone. i love how it looks stock so i wont need to flash a rom, but i would love to remove bloatware and overclock this. i keep going onto google but i find no straight answer just a bunch of sgs2 and vibrant answers. ive flashed roms before on an htc evo 4g so i got some basic knowledge, but i see i cant use cwm on this device.
i have firmware 2.3.6 please help.
Team Acid KJ6 debloater - http://teamacid.sourceforge.net/debloater/ (source)
AntonX's BML kernel - Basic with a twist 1.1.3
Afterwards install SetCPU / Voltage Control (my favorite).
I believe that antonx has also posted a lightweight KJ6, that was unthemed. Haven't flashed it myself, but that's what I understand from the OP.

Rom manager dose not work with our phone you have to get the kernel flasher from the market and do it like that. I think it's called sgs kernel flasher and it should have a duck on it

Yes, AntonX's ROM (in my signature) is stockish but heavily debloated. It rocks. In addition, you can grab his kernel (also in my sig) to OC/UV.
No need to flash a new ROM if you are rooted, just install Titanium Backup (free on the market) and use that to uninstall anything you don't want.
You can also make backups first, just in case you end up needing something later.
To overclock, you might need a new kernel (can't remember) which you can flash in CWM, which I assume you have, since you are rooted. Then get an app like Set CPU to overclock.

thanks man. i did what you said to remove bloatware. i cant run cwm on it since im running gingerbread so i guess i will use kernal manager. this phone seems like you need better experiance then when i had an evo 4g with the evo 4g you will just use cwm and you where good plus there was thousads of kernals and roms for it, but like i said i dont need a rom just to fix the little lag i have.
how long can i have it overclocked for?
