[Q] A Kernel question

Can I use any kernel on any device? or does the kernel have to be made for the specific device? I.E can i use a kernel in the captivate section on my Inspire?
if not is there a voodoo or voodoo based Kernel for the Inspire?

No, kernels are made from source code. So they are device specific. Asop and sense kernels are different also. So cm7 kernels wont work on htc sense based roms.

No. And you can't use a froyo kernel on a ginger bread ROM, etc.

OC Kernel

Anyone have any idea when we'll get an OC kernel for GB EP1W?

At some point after we have source code and no sooner.

Probably never. Samsung isn't going to release source code for an old build. If this new ep3 sees the light of ota, then that will be the source we get and we should see oc kernels on that.

[Q] about aosp kernels relation to aosp roms.

Question, most phones including the G1 came with an aosp kernel. There is no source for their GB kernel, yet they are able to make the kernel for CM7.
YES, we have the froyo kernel source. So, could we make the froyo cm6 aosp kernel and reverse it just like that of the G1's and build the CM7 kernel from it.
AOSP kernels are reversible. Build an aosp froyo kernel, reverse, rebuild for the Aosp GB kernel.

The G1 does have source =0
Edit: Nevermind, misread OP

I want CM6 FROYO.

It is possible, only issue is I have no clue how to compile the AOSP kernel, otherwise i would have built it by now.

Dude, no idea what you mean raver, I am talking about cm6.

AOKP M5 and VOODOO

I can't seem to get voodoo sound to run on stock AOKP M5 with stock kernel.
I bought the voodoo sound plus, but when i load the driver i get a ''voodoo sound driver loading error''.
I'm rooted and it has the correct permissions etc.
Anyone have any success with this?

Perhaps the stock kernel doesn't have voodoo settings? Not really sure. The first thing I do is flash a kernel and voodoo everything is working fine for me.

Yes but i thought the whole point of the paid version of voodoo is that it loads the necessary drivers into the kernel :S

Doesn't AOKP on our phones have Pete's kernel as stock? I thought one of our members had the module loaded for Voodoo with Petes kernel.

No idea about the kernel, but definitely not working :/

Bumping this as i'm desperate.

AFAIK, voodoo module only loads on stock ICS kernel, not pete's. But check his thread in development, I remember there was a debate about it some time ago, don't know what was the conclusion.
Although if you're a fan of a stockish kernel, load up SimpleKernel from terryhau, it's built from stock ICS sources and has Voodoo & BLN added.

[Q] ICS ROM / KERNEL ? Anything official / Information?

Hello, I have been doing some reading here as well I sit on IRC on the #skyrocket channel which is pretty quiet these days.
I am using TPC GB rom build with Da_G kernel, and so far (since november 2011) it has been solid.
I have tried alienROM for the ICS leak, but it is missing some kernel features I like, however is a decent ROM. I was wondering if there were any nice ROMs or Kernels for ICS yet, or are well all still waiting for samsung to release an official ICS build so proper kernels can be made. It has been quite awhile and are we even getting an official build for the I727R (Rogers)
I wanted to post here if that is OK because I have not been finding too many answers to what I am looking for. I am in no rush really, but wanted to start thinking about tweeking my phone. Would it be best to play with leaked builds or just wait till some official builds come out then wait and go from there. If anyone has suggestions that would be great.
Thank you for your time and comments.

Hi. All the roms you'll find here are decent and will each appeal to different people and their needs. I've found the latest SkyICS to be excellent in many ways. Try a few different ones to see what you like. Any will be better than stock GB.
As for kernels, there are a few out, but none will have all the features we like about a custom kernel until the official ICS is released because -as far as I know - the code for the kernel hasn't been released yet.
For example, we won't have overclocking until someone can tear into the official released kernel.
I am not a developer, so please, someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Without kernel source nothing can be done. No oc, no uv, no bln.

Thanks for the reply, I am on GB (not stock) running rom / kernel (4.3.5) just can't decide on what ICS I want to go with. So I will continue to read away

Doesn't the Cymbaline kernel have BLN now?

Yes. He posted that before the t989 source dropped. Cymbaline used fixes from that source. We also have instigatorx kernel for aosp based roms.
