You can. Assuming you have CWM on your device (http://bit.ly/r119F8)
Different kernels do different things, for xboarders ROM there are techinally 2 kernels:
1. The one that comes with it when you flash (install) it: the stock gingerbread kernel
2. Faux's kernel; the latest version can be found at his twitter (http://bit.ly/pMb2kz) (if you don't want to dig through his twitter, latest version here http://bit.ly/qccGDt)
Faux's kernel allows overclocking which increases your devices processor speed. You'll want to install an application like setCPU to overclock.
if you do the LG update you will get the new baseband which cant hurt then it is even easier to root and you get improved service I think.

Rom Manager did not work on my rooted 2.2 Captivate. I'm a noob so I need suggestions for installing new Roms and overclocking with setcpu. I know I need a new kernel but I'm not sure where to get them.
Hi, I'm not new to rooting/flashing. My sister-in-law wants her Fascinate to be faster and lag free. So I'm here to help her but got questions. Is EB01 the stock kernel? I'm looking a stock kernel + voodoo. She's gonna wait for offical release of 2.2 on her phone so I'm looking for 2.1 stock + voodoo. But if I have too, I can flash a 2.2 ROM and tell her that VZW can screw.
Please and thanks in advance.
EB01 is the version of the latest leak of 2.2, not the version of a kernel.
Search the Development forum for Voodoo. There are quite a few Voodoo kernels out there for 2.1. The ones from jt1134 are pretty popular. Also, adrynalyne has some test kernels available. I was using his Test 5 (non-voodoo) for quite a while and it was pretty stable. There are other developers with Voodoo kernels as well, so look through the search results and figure out what you like best.
The one thing to keep in mind is that some of the newer 2.1 kernels are only compatible with the latest officially released firmware (DL09). You might need to upgrade her phone (OTA) before proceeding with adding these newer 2.1 kernels.
There is a Voodoo kernel available for 2.2 currently, but you would have to upgrade everything to 2.2 (i.e. EB01). There is a thread for it by jt1134, and it's a stock 2.2 kernel with Voodoo and custom boot animation support.
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
i upgraded to this version (the latest one)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508619
i see that rom's version ha upgraded to 2.3.6 the modem
was upgraded to uclb3
but the kernel is
if i tried the sgs flasher with the zimage from the same thread the kernel went to uclb3
but the the cwm didn't work, got error in the recovery 3e ,
dont' thave enough permitions
but all the root functions work well (getting sys folder end etc.. )
Thank
you can't have cwm and a 2.3.6 kernel at the same time. nobody with the knowledge have repacked the ram bootdisk into a stock kernel with access to cwm. when source code is available we will likely see new kernels with cwm. now there is a shortage of kernel developers and none that want to waist the time before an update is official and final because it may become obsolete in a week anyway.
what is the latest version with cwm?
thanks a lot!
what is the latest version of infuse with cwm working?
and where can i find the changes between all the versions
between 2.3.5 to 2.3.6
and from kernel uxkg3 to uclb3 ?
thanks again!

2.3.3 is the latest kernel version with source code. att never released source. ode even though they updated to 2.3.6. they have been playing games it seems.
the changes in android versions are minor. most don't actually apply to the infuse. things like support for wimax and video function in gtalk are things listed in the changelog in Wikipedia which obviously did not make it into the infuse roms. the only thing that might apply is the battery enhancements in 2.3.5. other than that it is mostly a number. the truth is that it more designates which version of the nexus s it was developed for than specific improvement.
Is it safe to install a new kernel (like matr1x 19.0) that's based on ICS on a gingerbread ROM like CM7?
I am asking because my friend's Nexus S is limited to the current ROM because it was given to her for free for a sociology study, so it's recording data. I'm looking to install a new kernel for overclocking, BLN, and so forth.
Thanks.
Is this a serious question?
No. It won't boot. Just leave it alone if it's a work phone. When the study is over you can put franco's old gb kernel on it.
