It's a known bug. If you open up a terminal and type
Code:
uname -a
you'll see your kernel name and version.

Yes, just ran that command line and saw the response, thanks. But I've been reading ppl that flash new Kernels, is this recommended? I'm new to rooting and have my phone rooted, but have never installed a kernel.
Is this the same as installing custom roms?
Nope, kernels are a different story. You & I could have the same kernel running but have different experiences. I suggest you do some reading up on them first, probly could start with a google search.

I wouldn't replace the kernel in VU. The one they provide will be the best for it.
I believe their web page does have a option to install another custom kernel..
but again.. is there a reason you want the customer one?
there are a few kernels with volume boost added to make the speaker louder and headset louder, I think Faux updated his kernels to do this along with OC @ 2ghz and a few other tweaks. but yes some kernels work differently with others

From what I understand, Kernel is a something that contains drivers and settings for your device. If you did not have a kernel, or it was defective, I assume your phone would not work properly, or in the first case - not even boot up the os.
i flashed it using virt unity 1.29 and used the 2.6.35 Faux 0.0.9 kernel..

AnyKernel zips will only replace the kernel in your boot.img.
To define a boot.img:
Kernel(zImage) + ramdisk(root file system + init scripts) = boot.img
Where AnyKernel came from:
While searching for different kernels for my Motorola Droid I stumbled on a great idea implemented by Koush. Basically it will split the boot.img from recovery while your phone is running then replace the kernel and make a new boot.img and flash it along with the correct modules for the kernel.
I figured I would implement it on the CDMA Hero and it worked out.
This will work on any rooted rom with a custom recovery running Sense UI including the stock rom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the undervolted and overclocked kernels for Sense ROMS
These kernels are built from the HTC heroc-2.6.29-bc0d2ccf source with toasts overclock patch modified by darchstar/Decad3nce to include undervolt.
The git repo for this is @ http://github.com/zenulator/htc-heroc-2.6.29-bc0d2cff
The GPL license can be read @ http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html
ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 no perf lock
It has perf lock disabled to allow full overclocking with out the need use setcpu to disable perf lock. The clock speeds will stay at what ever the target rom uses unless you running a rom with no overclock built in. If so it will scale from 19mhz to 768mhz.
Download
ZenKernel-HTC-08122010 perf lock
Same as above but with perf lock enabled. It will run at stock values on any sense Rom until you use setcpu. To overclock it you will need to set setcpu to autodetect and then disable perf lock inside setcpu.
Download
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StockVoltage Overclocked Kernel:
This kernel is built from the same source as the rest except the voltages were changed to stock values. It will max out at 691 and the governor is set to performance.
Download
Setcpu is free for xda memebers and can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3638937&postcount=1
Instructions:
Download the update and copy it to the root of your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Nandroid (just in case you want to go back)
Flash the update
Reboot
Check Settings > About phone > Software information > Kernel version
_____________________________________________________________________________
If you wish to modify this with another kernel just extract the update and replace the zImage in the kernel directory with the one you want and replace the corresponding modules. Then rezip and resign and flash. It will work on any 2.1 sense rom regardless of boot.img.
Damn good work zenulator I am downloading it now and will test thoroughly tomorrow and see how it go's.
Thanks for the hard work.
Works great, using it with your beta ROM. Lock screen lag is gone
I got used to it so I barely noticed it... but now it seems a lot faster
I know you just started this and it says for sense. But I gotta ask is there anyway that this will work with froyo? I'm not a fan of overclock roms because of the lag when you push the menu key till when you screen is actually ready to go. And this gives me hope
of having a kernel that doesn't do that

Yes it will work for froyo if you modify it and put in the correct zImage (kernel). It won't work with the update I posted since it's made for Sense roms and uses HTC's Synaptics driver which isn't compatible with AOSP 2.2 Froyo/Cyanogenmod.
If you want a AOSP kernel with no overclock and no ability to overclock at all then I can do that but not for a couple days. If you ask darch he might be able to do it quicker since he already has everything set up and most likely only two files will need to be changed before a compile.

Uhh. I'm going to give a brief explanation.
AnyKernel is a tool created by Koushik Dutta found here on github.
The beauty of it is that it can flash/add a kernel to any boot.img regardless of ramdisk. It literally does the unpacking of the boot.img, extracting of the ramdisk, deletion of the original kernel and repacking of the boot.img together with the kernel of your choice.
The difference with this is probably changes in base address/cmd line and possible how it's extracted(haven't looked at it). Very awesome tool nonetheless, and is a lot more efficient that going through the process of coupling the kernel with each specific ramdisk before releasing a boot.img.
That's how it's different from your quoted "kernel".

I understand the explanation but have to ask what rge different change. I know this will just change the kernal from the boot imiage which is great and it has the HTC synaptic drivers in the kernal but that kernal with the HTC drivers has already been implemented into the latest boot.imgs. its a cool concept and would make it easier to change just the kernal for a one shot stop when a newer kernal comes out but as of right now that's the same kernal most of the sense based roms have already implemented into them at this time. If im wrong I'm sorry.
Now with the HTC Synaptics driver included, the swipe action once the screen is on is no longer lagged. However, I notice that there is still lag from the time the power button is hit to the time the screen comes on as compared to stock where there is almost no lag. Is there some other driver or something that causes this?
Well just an update but it has been very smooth so far, 8 hours as still smooth . Great job. Screen rotation and scroll seem quicker also .

This will just make it a lot easier instead of having multiple boot.img for different roms like in the other thread. Plus this will work on other roms not supported in the other thread. I know the kernel brings nothing new but for instance if someone wants to overclock my old ZenHero they can now do that. Or if someone just rooted their phone and installed RA or some other recovery this is all they need to over clock and still keep their stock system.
So when someone makes a new kernel they can use this and have it work on any Rom instead of just a specific Rom.

Makes sense. I thought about it actually and it will make things easier. I used it earlier today on a boot.img I flashed first that had the ramdisk mod for battery tweak but I think was missing the HTC synaptic driver. Lag is all gone and it worked great.

Now this is what I'm talking about
I was looking for something like this. Darchstar is one helluva dev, but it seems like the only kernels in use these days are Toasts (base) then modded toast kerenels by Darchstar (which are great as well). But I'd like to see a couple of tweaks fixed in the most recent Kernel #6 such as the typo that Uroshiol mentioned that is located in the actual zImage in the DArchstar uv2 kernel 710 with freememkiller
Nice nice work ya'llz and great stuff Zen... makes the addition of new kernels a breeeeze
Wait...so there is an under volted, oc kernel available for nfinite's .6 stock rom that eliminates the menu button wake lag?? i dont like the lag but deal with it. although if there is a way to eliminate the lag, please share!!
Zen, you're definitely an unsung hero (no pun intended I swear) around these parts and I for one definitely appreciate your work. Cheers!
Here the the first offical release of Fluff Kernel for the Epic 4G
Ok here are two new versions for you all.One is the performance kernel and the other is the battery saver.Both are using the new version of my initramfs that comes with ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary.So i suggest if you have Superuser.apk installed to uninstall it before flashing either of these kernels since Superuser.apk will be installed in /system/app instead of /data/app.And now for the kernels.Both of these kernels are Rom Manager compatiable and have root in them.
This is the battery saving kernel.Changes to it are:
Both Kernels are updated to DI18 sourcecode.
CPU governor set to userspace you can use SetCPU to set the speed of the kernel if you like although SetCPU seems a bit unstable on anything other then conservative.
Default scheduler set to CFQ
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5B.zip
This is the performance kernel.Changes to it are:
CPU governor set to performance your cpu will always be set to max this gives the best numbers in linpack and quadrant if numbers are you thing.
Default scheduler is set to CFQ.
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5P.zip
This is another battery saver kernel for those who don't want to mess with SetCPU is uses the conservative CPU governor that the overclocked kernels use.
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5C.zip
All kernels have been compiled against a toolchain that is stable on the newest OTA.And all kernels have been built with stock Samsung kernel source with no modifications to the source code all changes were to the .config file.
This zip can be flashed with ClockWorkMod or can be taken out of the zip and the zImage can put used as a replacement for the zImage in the one click root method although this kernel has root built into it.I recommend removing the JoeyKrim root method to not cuase and conflicts.
This kernel still has some Samsung bloat in it this will be stripped out as time goes on.I will also be trying out different combinations of CPU governors and schedulers to see which one performs the best.So please test it out and post your feedback.
Link to the stock samsung source that was used for these kernels.
http://opensource.samsung.com/ Please search for SPH-D700 DI18.

Can i use this kernel with noobnl's Andromeda Galaxy v1.0.3 ROM?
I've searched around, but have yet to find a definitive answer. Can I run ANY i9000 rom on the captivate as long as I use a reorient kernal, such as Setiron's?
run, yes, flawlessly, maybe, won't know until you try it.
That was the intended purpose of the reorient kernels from Xcaliberinhand. Setiron has simply extended Xcaliber's kernel with the tweaks and lagfixes of some of the other i9000 kernels.

Right on. I've been running Tayu's Lite with setirons for the last few weeks. I didn't use the rom supplied in the Dev section, though. I pieced it together separately. This is by far the best setup I have used yet, but after using the cogs previously, i became a flash junkie and want to try something else out.
I am also using Tayutama's rom but I will be trying out cognition once true source code has been released allowing proper kernels and tweaks to be done. I imagine cog will come back with a vengeance after the true update and source are released. Happy flashing.
Can I simply flash a new kernel on top of my ROM? For instance, can I flash SetrioN 1.3.3 if I'm currently runiing 1.2? Just put in in Odin under Phone? PDA?
Still learning here.

If you've made adjustments to you OC/UV, you need to reset those to default. After that, you can just flash the new one right on top using CWM rec.

Ok i meant a kernel for a coredroid DHD rom, is there any kernels
I just made a post about this yesterday when some one was asking about battery life, but I will post again.
The only roms that have custom kernel are the ones who's source has beeen released, or have been built from source ie. Froyo builds, CM7 builds, Miui builds. None of the ginger bread roms based on the leaked DHD have custom kernels, and probably won't have custom kernels. HTC is more then likely not going to release the source to their leaked rom. Also when flashing kernels you don't not want to switch bases, meaning you don't want to flash a CM7 on Coredroid (gingerbread) or a Froyo based rom.
If your still a little confused about what a kernel is, think of it this way ( I forget who said it in a thread before me), but a Rom is what you see on the screen, and a Kernel is what makes it happen.

Very well it came out four days ago. Even though what I said is still true there still isn't a custom kernel from the dhd source, because HTC more then likely won't release it. Good to see they ported one though.

Faux kernel is not a ROM. He is using it on that ROM - so the question was not specifically answered.
I had Paul's patch on stock kernel when I first flashed faux kernel, but don't know for sure if it is needed (ie - is the patch of the kernel or something else?).

Let me be more specific in case the OP did not get it. No, you do not need Pauls patch for custom kernels or roms. It is strictly designed for the stock rom to fix a mistake by LG.

If so, then no need when kernels are flashed either, as it would be overwritten. This would be the clarification he (and I) was looking for. If not ??
Note - when I look in a whole ROM zip file - I can find it. Cannot when I open a kernel zip file.

Faux kernel is not a ROM. He is using it on that ROM

What does that mean.so is the kernel baked into the rom: when we install faux's rom, we automatically get the kernel .

Yes - if you flash faux ROM - you get his kernel as part of it.
But the OP was about using faux (with) stock kernel on the stock froyo ROM. The stock ROM had some messed-up up stuff by LG in the (I have read) services.jar file in the stock ROM.
He asked if he could (should) use the paul patch with this combination. Since the services.jar is (I also believe) not changed by the kernel only, it appears that it should be flashed on top of the stock ROM once (unless you wipe and it is then gone), and then flash the kernel (I did that).
For ALL CM ROMs - different services.jar - no problem. But for EB and other stock based froyp ROM's - I am not sure. If the Dev's built paul's fix into the services.jar -then they are OK. If not, they might be able to use the fix also.
Would REALLY like to hear from one of the Dev's on this. Been all over the forums, and with respect to the kernel only and other than stock froyo ROM's - it has not been clearly spelled out.
its for STOCK roms not custom kernels dont matter in this pauls patch fixes a problem with lg stock rom all custom roms should have this fixed
