I've been figuring out how to install custom roms and kernels lately, and was wondering if it is possible to combine an Infusion kernel with an Infused rom, and what the best procedure for that would be.
I tried Infused 2.1 and then loading the 1.8 Infusion kernel but was met with bootloops. Would it be more stable perhaps to install Infused 1.6 and Infusion 1.5.1/2 ?
And just to be sure, would I install the Infused rom, then the Infusion kernel, and then root + load rom manager backup image? Or would titanium be a better option to recover with? I have both of them backed up.

woah... you are WAY off on absolutely everything.
first and foremost, you need to be rooted before you can do anything that you are attempting to describe. figure out how to root in the "development" section.
as for flashing things, this guide is for a tablet, but same general process applies to the infuse: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...m-manager-nandroid-backup-custom-kernels.html
and then as for the kernels you are referring to - as a general rule (few exceptions), you may only flash froyo kernels with froyo ROMs, and gingerbread kernels with gingerbread ROMs. you can find out what kind of ROM/kernel you are attempting to flash by reading the title of the thread, or the original post.
research everything THOROUGHLY, so that you know what you are doing before you do this!

You could not use the 1.8 kernel because it is a froyo kernal and infused 2.1 is gingerbread.
If you want both flash infused 2.1 and then infusion kernel 1.6 for gingerbread.

I've already rooted my phone, got the modified 3e recovery, and flashed the update.zip from CWM.
Now, I've downloaded infusion-GB.1.1.zip and am downloading update-infused-v2.1.0-full.zip.
Now, to my understanding I would go about installing both of these by first using Rom Manager to install update-infused-v2.1.0-full.zip (and clearing user data/cache), thus installing the GB rom. Then I would use CWM (getting to it via two volume buttons plus power button) and pressing the update option on the list.
Can anyone point me as to where I might be going wrong with my logic? If this rom and kernel are not compatible (even though they both clain to be GB) then should I instead use the Infusion 1.5.1/2 kernel and update-infused-v1.6.0-full.zip files?
Also are backups from FROYO roms incompatible with GB Rom Manager?

those are compatible. no need to clear anything when installing the kernel, only the ROM - just go into red CWM, using the buttons like you said, and flash the infused ROM zip, and then the infusion kernel zip.
once you're done with that, get voltage control or setCPU from the market, and you should be able to adjust the maximum frequency to 1.6, although it may not be stable.
I managed to get it all working. I followed all the steps from this post and after doing those steps I used red CWM to update the kernel meaning that my cetCPU can OC and manage the cpu up to 1.6ghz.
Thanks all for info and help! Much appreciated
Now, while we're still here... can anyone recommend a good icon/theme changer for Infused? It'd be nice to have icons like what gtg465x has on the screens in the link I posted.
P.S. I didn't restore my apps/data with my backups simply because in his post, gtg465x said not to use them unless absolutely necessary.

You'll want to use the Infusion 1.0/1.1 kernel for Infused 2.1. You must use gingerbread kernels with gingerbread roms. You can download Voltage Control or Setcpu from market to be able to OC/UV. Once you've downloaded either, set your max to 1.6, you can go through the setting and set what you like as far as speed and volts. I use Voltage Control, my setting are:
Cfq scheduler ondemand Governor
200-1600mhz
200, 400, 800, 1200, 1600mhz enabled. dont use more than 5-6 settings.
UV
1600-75
1200-75
800-50
400-50
200-50
I know you can UV more than what I am using, but I dont like to push it to its max UV.
what is cfq

Cfq is a setting for the scheduler in voltage control, I believe it means completely fair queuing. You can use the ROM infused 2.1.0 with that kernel, its what im running.

The kernel provides the subsystem on which the OS itself operates. It is the interface to the physical hardware, handling access to physical devices as well as memory management. An optimized kernel can make a significant difference over a "vanilla" configuration.
Make a nandroid before you flash any kernels to go back easily. Otherwise you could reflash the full 2.3.3 rom.
thank you guys
If you're using CM7 and want to flash a kernel over it. You can just reflash CM7 without wiping anything and it would override your kernel with stock. CM7 includes stock kernel in it.
Yarr when I upgraded from 2.3.2 to CM7 RC1, my netarchy 1.2.5 resetted back to stock as I lost my Overclock. I just wasn't sure it was a stock kernel or a modified one specifically for CM7 that happened to not have an OC.

Ive flashed the trinity kernel...and although it boasted high speeds.....My wifi would not work....... I then flashed the netarchy kernel and that seemed fine at first but after starting an intensive memory app it kept rebooting phone.....I seem to be having no luck with any kernels...can someone maybe suggest a kernel that just works with CM7 Rc2 and just gives me slightly better gains to make NS run a bit smoother......
Netarchy is fine. I'm using it with the latest nightly build #25. Never encountered reboots, its something else.
1. Wipe Cache & Dalvik-Cache
2. Fix Permissions
3. Flash Netarchy 1.3.0-CFS (CM7 Compatiable)
Should cause the best possible performance with the kernel.

Ditto to this.
Try the CFS version (if you haven't) IIRC it *seems* to work slightly more reliably than the BFS version.
Also I assume you're not trying to OC the CPU - if you are, just leave at default if you're getting stability issues.
try ogdobbers kernel for cm7. I have version 1.3.1.5 and its smooth as butter. I have tried others but they seem unstable and I also am not a fan of overclocking my phone. Its a stock kernel with the ext4 hack that makes your phone run very fast and smooth without risks of overclocking. I haven't had a single problem with it and have been running it for about a month now.

All of netarchy's kernels are not OC'd by default. To OC it you have to manually do it. So what you said about kernels being OC'd is wrong. This thread has only mentioned Netarchy's kernel so I'm assuming that you thought Netarchy's kernel OC'd by default. It's automatically set at stock speeds. It includes ext4 hack as well.
Ogdoober's modified stock is just too plain for me.
What's this app that you're talking about? Was it a game?
I've only used Netarchy's so far and never had a problem. Make sure to at least try the CFS version. My phone doesn't like 1.4 ghz, but I've used it without any problems at 1.2 ghz. Right now I'm back to stock speed since I don't see any benefits to overclocking it for my usages.

Correct. My builds enable the ability to over clock, but run at stock speeds by default. It's always your choice.
For what it's worth, I usually run at stock myself ;D

Just flashed imoseyon's kernel on my rooted thunderbolt and now I'm stuck in a bootloop...any advice? I've running stock rom.
It's the lean version of his kernel and thats the only thing I flashed. I cleared cache + davik cache before flashing.
I was able to do a restore, but I want to use this kernel
It sounds stupid, but try again. Clear cache and dalvik
I've tried 5 times Even tried uninstalling setcpu and unfreezing all the bloatapps that I had frozen. Still get stuck on boot
I've also tried re-downloading the kernal file in case it was corrupt...no luck still.
Which Imoseyon kernel are you running?
Could it be that your particular Tbolt won't handle the lower voltage? Also you might want to check the md5sum again.
Good luck.

wifi is broke and my data is stuck on 1X only now after doing advanced restore-->reboot only.
Did you flash the GB Sense kernel instead of the Froyo kernel?
I used this 1... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021404 It says Froyo... where can I find the stock kernel that you get after rooting? I need to get wifi/data working again now.
I mount the phone as disk drive on my computer, and I can only view the SD Card...ugh whats going on, so many issues after flashing this kernel
I did a factory reset now and I still cant connect to wifi/3g/4g...I think I need to flash the stock kernel to fix it. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Flash another rom such as BAMF, whenever you flash a rom it flashes the kernel that is included in the rom as well.
I'm using his kernel just fine. Can you check your radio version?

radio 1.16.00.0402, and Im on the stock ROM, dont want to use a special ROM...
Flash a rom or the stock rom that should get you on another kernel. Also, my TB couldn't handle some of the kernels. I was never able to get it at 1.92ghz. I can only use the normal version. Try one of the other versions. Best of luck!
Sent from my DROID PRO using Tapatalk
make sure the kernel is not oc'd to 1.92.................most phones can not handle that.
Could one of my fellow G2x fans direct me to a download of the stock Kernel? I searched and did not find it. I have made a nandroid backup and titanium backup and want to play with Faux's kernel. Instead of restoring a complete backup if I want to remove it, I would rather just flash the stock kernel. Is this possible or am I misunderstanding something?
Thanks
I doubt you will find a complete stock original kernel, faux kernel for froyo is based on stock. Use faux froyo kernel you won't regret it, the best froyo kernel out! Stable, fast, good on battery, your phone will never be the same.......
Suprah..."no cyanogen, rom manager still fake flashes the roms thats y for nvidia phones we have to use nvflash"

Thanks for the response. I tried a couple different versions and ran into some issues and had to restore back to stock. The ext4 version messed with the black taskbar I have loaded and the ext3 with no overclock was half the speed of the stock kernel acording to several benchmarks I ran. I wanted to continue to experiment but wanted a simple solution to move back if I needed to without doing a complete restore of a backup.
I agree Faux is a terrific developer and I am sure my issues are of my own making. I wonder if he could upload the base stock kernel. I think I will pm him.
Still on the hunt for the stock kernel. Any dev's out there that can help?
You will receive excellent karma for helping me out. I promise.
Edit. I think I will try this. I am going to restore my phone to stock and use the following extract method.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/41381-how-extract-kernel-rom.html
I will post the stock kernel if I am able to get this to work.
I have been having issues getting my TF101 to overclock in ICS. I have tried Codename Android, CM9, TeamEOS, and Revolver, and ALL of them I could not overclock in. I have tried SetCPU, No-Frills, and (if applicable) the built in frequency control. They all show that the maximum frequency is 1000MHz. I have no clue what is going wrong here. They all were able to gain Superuser, so that isn't the problem. Any and all help would be highly appreciated. I just have no clue what I could be doing wrong.

Antutu CPUMaster Free works for me on Revolver4_1.3.1 and Blades_meh kernel. You have to manually go into it after installing a OC kernel and set the min and max frequencies and choose a governor and there's a checkbox to tell it to set these at boot. After that it works all day everyday for me up to 1680MHz and deep sleep works, too.

Just tried Antutu CPU Master. Same issues. It says that my max frequency is 1000MHz.
Have you manually loaded a new kernel to replace the stock one? Setcpu and the like only modify settings that a kernel exposes, and the default kernel does not allow anything higher then 1000.

Yes. After doing so, I also go into my settings and clear the cache and data from SetCPU, so I could set it up again. Still, I am getting max 1000MHz.

Thanks for trying to help, but I have found my problem. My recovery was still borked from when I tried flashing the official one in Rom Manager. Wiped my recovery, installed the roach recovery, reflashed all of my files, and now I am good to go. I feel like a derp now. LOL
Same issue w/ OC...but wipe recovery?
Your issue sounds exactly like the one I am currently having.
I would like to try your fix...but I am not understanding how the "wipe recovery" process goes. Would you mind please explaining that in more detail? Im pretty sure it IS NOT as simple as just doing a complete cache/data wipe then flashing the recovery over itself is it?
I am:
ViperMOD Prime rooted
ClockworkRecoveryMOD installed (but I think I may have fubar'd it doing the same thing you did trying to recover stock recovery)
FROZN 1.0.9 rom w/ included Guevor kernel and NoFrills CPU app
...but none of the CPU apps will let me OC...wether I flash the kernel seperate from the ROM or use the one included w/ the ROM.
Hope you can help me.
UPDATE: apparently this inability to OC the kernel in any way is happening to those of us experiencing the CWM bootloop issue...so since the loader goes immediately to CWM it never runs the flashed kernel.
So in these forums is a thread to fix the CWM bootloop and if you follow the instructions carefully, you fix the bootloop and thus allowing the flashed kernels a chance to actually install. I chose the Roach method which you can install the code using Terminal Emulator pretty intuitively. I didnt choose the other method because I didnt want to mess w/ setting up an ADB terminal on my PC, which seemed MUCH more difficult.
So...now FINALLY
ViperMOD Prime rooted
ClockworkMOD Touch Recovery 5.8.8
FROZN 1.0.9 ROM (w/ built-in Guevor kernel @ 1.2 default) and am OCd @ 1.54 (np's at all so far, lightning fast, havent even tried 1.6 or 1.7).
Only issue so far is File Manager app crashes on startup...which isnt good because now the other file manager app I tried doesnt see my ext_SDcard...the stock File Manager did.
I've tried using both tastyMEH and Blades using Revolver, CM9 and Android HD, and the stock ICS ROM, using Set CPU and ROM Toolbox pro to try and overclock. I've flashed the ROM first and then the Kernel, and the Kernel and then the ROM. Nothing I've done thus far has enabled me to set the CPU sliders past 1000 mhz. I know people are running these combos and getting 1.6-1.8 clocks. What am I screwing up? I'm using Clockwork Mod recovery to flash. I couldn't even get CM9 to boot.
Thanks so much in advance

Thanks, this may be a step in the right direction. However I've tried 3 times now to flash the 5.8 touch to no avail. Everytime I reboot I end up with standard 5.5.0.4. I tried flashing with CWM. What am I doing wrong? If it helps ever since I flashed CWM, if the tablet retboots for any reason it automatically boots into CWM, and I have to cold boot into Android manually using the power and volume rocker.
