im flashing my g2x with a kernal and a rom so which do i do first, kernal or rom? or dose it matter?
1. ROM.
2. Compatible kernel.
If you do it the other way around you might not be able to boot the phone.
It's doubtful that you'd be unable to boot, more likely your custom kernel would be overwritten by the ROM's default and you'd have just wasted your time flashing the kernel.
But yeah, ROM first then kernel.

well now my phone is way faster and smoother and stable

Well, I'm a complete noob and I'm a bit confused. Consider this:
I flash the phone with CM7(say). Here I'm assuming that CyanogenMod comes with its own kernel. My question is: Can I flash a custom kernel on top of this setup? and what difference does it make?
One can also think the other way round. I have flashed my phone with a custom kernel. Successively I flash CM7 on to my phone. What happens then? Is the original custom kernel wiped out to be over-written by CM7 kernel? What can be done to keep it intact? Please people solve this dilemma...

If you wipe your data and system partitions on your phone and then flash a ROM you'll end up having that ROM's kernel.
Anytime you can flash another kernel over the default one. You might get some
advantages, but that depends on kernel's specifications. It might get you able to
increase more the frequency of your phone's CPU. There isn't necessarily an
advantage in flashing another kernel. ROM developers usually use to provide
the most stable kernel for their rom.
I'd like to remove the trinity Kernel for JellyBean. I enjoy it's overclock but I hate it when my phone just randomly reboots. Is there a way to remove it. I have created a backup before I flashed it, but I'd like to remove it without having to restore to that backup.
Thanks
flash your rom without wiping, then flash gapps

I should have mentioned, I'm running stock. No custom rom installed
Just flash a different custom kernel or the stock kernel. If you want a different custom kernel, and you want something stockish, you wan try SimpleKernel or thalamus kernel. As for the stock, I think you can find a flashable zip somewhere here in the NS forum.
Sorry if this has already been asked before. If you already have a custom ROM with stock kernel, and now you want to install a custom kernel, would you just boot into custom recovery then flash it on top of the existing ROM just like flashing Gapps? or do you have to wipe the ROM first, flash the kernel then ROM after that? Here's another question. Custom ROMs come with their own kernels, would my custom kernel get overwritten when I upgrade my ROM to a newer version (for example from cm10.1-20130226 to cm10.1-20130309?

Correct just copy the kernel to your sdcard clear cache in recovery and flash away.
I tried your ROM and rebooted twice and still looking good. Hope it'll still survive after the 3rd reboot. However, I notice some delay before the first ring back, probably due to weak signal in my area. I'll try more at different locations in the next few days to see how it goes. I really appreciate your contribution and all coders with TeamChopsticks who have nailed down the root cause of audio loss in the cm10.1 nightlies for skyrocket.
I'm having problem with Carbon ROM. My video doesn't playback I only see purple screen. However taking pictures is fine but both the qualities are low. I already set to HD. I flashed AOKP from toyes and REVOLT they had no problems with the video.

My apologies if this has been answered before -
1.) Should I flash a new kernel for my HOX? I am s-off, bootloader unlocked and running Viper XL 3.2.6.
2.) I know it is not absolutely necessary (flashing the kernel that is), but what are the advantages? what are the pitfalls should I be aware of?
3.) I am a relative noob so I don't think I'll be UV, OC or any of that cool stuff. So is stock better?
4.) Is there a thread out here where I can read about flashing kernels?
Thanks.
1:NO
2:None [edit] unless you flash aosp to sense kernel, visa versa.
3:matters of opinion
4:how did you achieve s-off and not know how to flash stuff?
Sent from my HOX w/CM10.1 4.2.2 s-off
Haha.. i know how to flash stuff.. it is just about the kernels.. and i wanted to read about kernels and such. not how to flash them..
thanks for the answers though
Flashing kernels is just like flashing anything else: Have a backup, clear cache/dalvik, and flash away.
The only thing to be aware of is that Sense roms need a Sense kernel, and AOSP roms need an AOSP kernel, and never the twain shall meet.
S-off removed the need to flash in fastboot that exists with 2.20 and later bases. The only reason to flash one now is because you want features in a custom kernel.
Custom kernels are "better" in the sense that you can do more with your phone, but they usually not as stable as stock, depending on how hard you push them.
Since I am not going to UV, OC etc, I guess it is better to stick with stock.
Thanks Elvis

Keep in mind stability has as much to do with your phone as what kernel you pick. Some phones can't take overclocking or undervolting at all without losing stability; others (like mine) can run flat out without any problems. Only way to find out is to try it.
I'd definitely recommend looking into the ElementalX kernel. For me, it's increased my battery tremendously and it's also been a good bit smoother.
is there a way to go back to stock kernel? I guess flashing the rom again?

You can extract the boot.img from the rom you flashed and flash that. This will be the stock kernel from that particular rom.
If you're using Viper, there's an option for flashing stock kernel within the viper installer so no need to worry about extracting or reflashing the whole rom.
Random Shut Down on stock 2.3.6
hey everyone, i wanted to ask, i've been using the stock 2.3.6, it randomnly just shuts down for no apparent reason... anyone know what's what? i've rooted with cwm and all... just hoping maybe a much better, stable and reliable 2.3.6 would suffice?
Trying clean wipe(data,cache,dalvik) and flash stock again.
Make sure you have backed up your present ROM via cwm.
If problem persist try using a custom ROM ,since you have already rooted (custom ROMs have a lot more added functionality and better battery life)
