[Q] Kernel? Radio? What does it all mean? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.
I'm currently running SuperAosp 6.4 (and I'm very satisfied)
Some of the settings crash and I can glean from the forums that it might be connected with what kernel I'm using.
(current kernel is 2.6.35.7-SuperAosp-S-UV) what are the benefits of using another?
Which is good for me? (build is GRI54 - a europhone)
Also, radio? I've tried flashing different ones with varying results, I'm currently on 19023XXKB1 - is there a newer one?
How do I figure out what kernels and radios are meant for my phone?
Edit: Also, I'd love to update to 2.3.4 but keep my lovely drop-down-menu-power-control-thing.
If anyone answers maybe this could become a how-wat-sticky

RUU_Kaiser_ATT_WWE_1.60.502.3_radio_sign_22.45.88. 07_1.27.14.09_Ship?

Hello,
I just saw the new ROM and was wondering if anyone knows of any difference between RUU_Kaiser_ATT_WWE_1.60.502.3_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09_Ship and the one I am currently using, RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship?
I notice the radio has been upgraded and not sure what else. Does the ROM contain all the AT&Tware?
Did a search for this ROM and couldn't find any info. Using AT&T Tilt.
It's the same exact rom that Incognitho posted a few days ago. Check his thread for the info.
LINK please?

and if ya want a cleaned up version-check out Kyphur's Tilt XDA Live v 1.0 ROM-it's based on this build
Is this the latest rom and has the Radio issue been fixed?
The only "issue" with this Radio is that it relies on new drivers that are only found in this At&t ROM. If you use this radio with any other ROM you will not have any sound.
So the radio works perfectly fine, as long as it is used with this ROM.

A quick question for 2.1 roms

I've been searching and trying many different roms for the MT3g that are android 2.1, and there are many many talented developers on this website it's too hard to just try them all.
Can anyone point out there most "stable" and working rom for 2.1 32B they have use / are using
It's been annoying having to change and reflash different roms every other week for something new / need something else to work that I wonder if anyone has their preferred roms they could point out
Thanks in advance

[Q] info about kernels

hi i'm not an expert excuse me if the question seems silly:
i own a google nexus one. i've seen a lot of kernels around and i was wondering what is their purpose. besides i wanted to know if the roms (cyano, stock deodexed rom and so on...) come with their own kernel or if it has to be installed separately. in this case how do i know which my stock kernel was?

[Q][NOOB]Advice on Roms

Hi,
I'm not a noob in rooting and using customized ROMs on Android but I AM a noob with the TF101. I have tried to work through some of the information provided in the different topics and I am still trying to wrap my head around stuff like ICS, AOKP, cornerstone and whatnot.
What I am trying to find is a slim, stable and reasonable fast ROM that cleans out most of the Asus bloatware. WIFI connectivity is important to me, but 3G is not.
Can anybody (pretty please) recommend a reliable ROM that would be a good point to start with. It would just be a lot easier to work my way through the details if I had a ROM to start with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Henning

Revolver and ARHD are modified from stock ROM from ASUS. CM9 and AOKP are based on AOSP with modification to work on Transformer.
If you are migrating from stock ROM, ARHD or Revolver will give you a similar feel, they are both good ROM to start with. I am currently using ARHD.
Thank you for the help tingtan. (* searches forum for an explanation of "AOSP" *). I am assuming ARHD is short for Revolution HD?
A lot of the newbie guides point to "Prime" ROMs of various versions (like the "Asus Reference Thread" is pointing to Prime V1.4). Anything worth mentioning about those?
Also, there is a lot of talk if random reboots on ICS, so would it be more advisable to pick for example a non-ICS ARHD?

Yes, ARHD is Android Revolution HD. Prime has not been updated for a long time, last update was Nov 12, 2011, for custom ROM, it means the author is not maintaining it anymore.
ICS has some problems, app compatibility, battery drain, random reboots. I like to try new stuff (have several phones and tablets), so not a problem for me. Will get stable over time.
If you want a stable version, use Gingerbread (Android version 3.2), Prime, Revolver and ARHD are all stable and fast ROM. Another added bonus for Gingerbread is you can use OC/UV kernel.
You can monitor if a ROM is active and stable, read the forum in:

Again tingtan, thanks for your reply. I think I find my way from here
Im trying KRAKD now. So far it seems quite nice.
Also tingtan, 3.x is called Honeycomb , Gingerbread is 2.3

Oops! Thanks for clearing up my error. Guess I getting old
I tried Revolver, ARHD and KRAKD. Have been using KRAKD before upgrading to ICS, tried AOKP for couple of days before settle down on ARHD 3.1.0.
Yes, KRAKD has been a nice ROM, hangs several times a week recently (maybe not ROM related), that is why I have decided to upgrade to ICS.
I actually got spoiled with ICS after having it for one day (official OTA), so I just had to change to an ICS rom. I went with team EOS build 12 and so far its been quite good.

[Q] Should I use regular or s version for CM10.1?

Hello!
I'm running Cyanogenmod10.1 Nightlies on my SGS and I am not quite sure which version of Semaphore kernel I should use with it.
Are there any major differences between the regular and the s version or can I use whichever I feel suits my needs?
I know what the kernel itself does, I just don't know the differences between the two versions except for the hugemem tweak. I can't find any info on that anywhere else either.
