Flash kernel info needed - General Questions and Answers

Hi experts,
I am currently using LG P500 with stock rom & kernel. I have never rooted rom before this. I have read somewhere from useful thread from this forum like here but am still not so sure and wondering if any problem will effect to the stock rom if I would like to flash kernel on my phone.
Most of the time I depend on my mobile phone such as alarm clock so just worried anything happen to the rom will cause me troublesome. ^^; I might flash rom in future but not now. So am interested about flashing kernel since people said that flash kernel will save battery life as well as overclock cpu. It would be glad if someone could explain to me or sharing link with great info.
Thanks a lot.
regards

can i ask which software you are using?
you have to be careful when flashing kernels as some kernels may not be compatible with your specific software.
I would search for specific kernels for your software and if you have root, then make sure you have a backup kernel for the one you are about to flash and if any problems arise you can flash it back.
I use Kernel Update Utility 0.9 to flash different kernels to my device so maybe you can look into that once you have done your research

yes i did search, google too
but i doesn't found any article about OC darky rom
You need to research Kernel's and find one that can be overclocked and works with Darky's Rom.
so xxkg6 unable to oc ?
XXKG6 is your Modem, not your Kernel, if you look at the first post of Darky'sRom it tells you about the kernels, I suspect you are on CF-Root kernel.
There are various kernels that can be overclocked, look at Ninphetamine thread. I don't know if it is comaptable with your rom, but the only way to find out is BACKUP, flash new kernel through CWMManager or Odin and give it a go
erm ok like this . i jus bought this phone not longer
and didn't even install any other app now
jus F.reset
and i have update my firmware to xxkg6
so now what should i do to OC ? i should install my custom rom first or OC first?
and this my current kernel CF Root SGS2 XX OXA KG6 v4.1 CWM4
I don't mean to be hard on you, but from your post's, you don't seem to have a great knowledge of rooting, never mind overclocking your phone.
Can I suggest that you do some hard reading in the relevant threads before you end up frying your cpu and seriously ****ing up your phone.
now i facing a problem.. i updating my firmware from original to xxkg6 2.3.4
with odin but it's almost half an hour but still doesn't pass
lol, I take it you didn't take the advice and do some research then. I for one do not feel bad for you at all.
lol, funny
i remove and do it over again it finish in few min = =
and i have done rooting
now i jus downloading the rom

Just for future reference, there is a search function on these forums. For example, I typed 'custom kernel stock rom' into it and a whole bunch of useful information appeared.
Having said that...
Is your phone s-off/rooted? You could flash a custom kernel provided that the build numbers are compatible. For example, Bricked kernel is stated to work with the majority of roms since it creates a boot.img from the one on the phone. Ultimately I would recommend extreme care and I would personally be flashing a stock-look custom rom if you still wanted the stock experience with the custom kernel.

[Q] shw m110s

good day to all..
im new with this phone..this one is a korean version of galaxy s1(shw m110s)
im confused with how to install custom roms here...
what do i need to download..a kernel or a custom rom?
thanks xda
Moved to General Q&A.
The kernel allows the ROM to communicate with the hardware specific to your device. All ROMs have a kernel build-in. If the custom ROM is designed fir your phone, it will work fine. If the ROM was intended for a device in the same family as yours, you can flash that ROM, then flash the kernel for your phone, & it'll work. If the ROM was designed for a completely different device, nothing will get it to work.
Remember to always do a nandroid backup before flashing stuff!!

[Q] LG Volt

Hello! I have the Boost Mobile LG Volt and I am somewhat of a noob but smart enough to get it rooted on V4 using a rollback guide and towelroot. My problem is i hate the stock kernel and hate not having voltage control. Is there a flashable package that i can use to add voltage control and all of the other fun things that come with a custom kernel? Ive seen guides on porting roms to my device and they seem fairly simple since its just editing a zip with all custom stuff and leaving the sys files alone. Again the kernel!!! Ive tried flashing so many diffrent kernels but they all softbrick my phone
I love this phone. With root i have CPU settings so it lasts 3 days heavy use. I want more !!! Please help!!!
The stock kernel for this phone is available on githubhttps://github.com/chevanlol360/Kernel_LGE_X5
And from what im reading kernels must be device tailored?

yes sir they do. development is still in its infancy, there are people working on cyanogenmod right now, but they "JUST" got audio support, so you may want to wait a minute. There are a few custom roms available, just takes a lil google-fu.
Also you are very lucky to still have a working phone, careful with those kernels.

Question How do I know about kernel?

Hi, I been trying out different custom roms but now I wanna try with kernels.
What should I look for about kernels to get idea of what kind of feature they have? I heard some have battery/charging features, etc.
I've tried some that listed on this forum zero gravity,mochi (from stock roms), etherious and neutrino flamescion.
i also tried benchmarking with each kernel, i see scores 5-8%. Aside from that, I cannot notice anything different.
I not looking for a gaming kernel. Just want to get idea about these for so I can start somewhere.
if you want a general idea about kernels just google it but if u want to make a kernel your self this post may help u https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/reference-how-to-compile-an-android-kernel.3627297/
