Wipe cache and dalvic cache then flash kernel
Yes
No.
I suggest you do alot of reading about the ins/outs of flashing roms and kernels before you attempt anything

Get a kernel for the nexus s such as netarchy, trinity or matrix. Take a back up of your existing ROM, flash the new kernel from recovery and reboot. This will not delete all your apps. I'd you don't like it just restore the backup you took.

Go in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and just flash new kernel. You will not lose anything. And you can flash another one if you don't like that one. I recommend not to use ROM manager to flash anything. Flash kernels and ROMs from Recovery, and Radios via fastboot...
Not sure about restoring kernels from backup...never done that. If you know which one is in your ROM you can download it and manually flash it back, if you don't like the new one ...
I would recommend one of Trinity's kernels TUV10 or TUV11 ...

Ive always done my radios in CWM recov. Is there a benefit to doing it in fast boot?

You're just minimizing potential damage, and in fastboot there's less possibility for something to go wrong. Radios are more fragile. I was using that method with my HTC Desire. Don't know, maybe things are different with nexus, but i'm still using that method .
Here's one quotation from oxygen forum:
forum.oxygen.im said:
When you flash a radio over a recovery, the recovery extracts the downloaded radio.zip into /cache partition. So the radio.img is stored there temporary. For this operation the /cache partition needs as many as 25 mb. If it hasn't, they might occur big problems.
Furthermore, it's better to do it, because there isn't any software (e.g. recovery) which could go wrong.

if I gonna flash ROM using recovery mode?do i need to wipe cache and wipe dalvik??
I just flash Trinity kernel TUV..just a little bit disspointing because there is no smartass in available gavernors...

Smartass sucks on the nexus s from my experience. If you flash roms in recovery you wipe data, cache and dalvic cache if flashing a different rom. If its the same rom, just wipe cache and dalvic cache.

I don't have great experience with ROM manager, but maybe that was just me . I just prefer manual CWM recovery use, and fastboot/adb when needed .
If you're installing new ROM, yes, you should wipe all caches and wipe data/factory reset.
You don't need to change anything with Trinity TUV kernels, they are great with performance and power saving ...
Don't use SetCPU or similar app, just try it as it is...

what do choose for you governor??

i tried juice defender on my nexus s and it caused a few problems.
My buddy with a thunderbolt likes it.
If your looking for battery stamina look at two things. (in my experience)
Apps left running. Slacker was a problem if not closed correctly. To many running ETC.
second and even more important
SIGNAL STRENGTH
At work my signal sucks and my battery will drain to almost nothing just sitting on my desk if not charging. When i bypass data and connect to my jobs wifi and turn off wifi sleep(just learned about wifi sleep) then my battery life is beyond amazing. I have att and dont know who you have but if its ATT your prob screwed cuase their service SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.
try turning off your data in a bad service area you might be in for extended times and see if that helps.
also in my opinion the best rom for battery is just stock. you can use root apps to get almost all the same effects as most roms but stock has the best stability and life. Next would prob be SuperOSR to me. Another good tip i have started to do is whenever i change the rom it seems i have to drain out the batt fully then wipe batt stats and charge again. could be in my head but it helps alot.

Juice defended is worthless. Take the time to read the rom, kernel, and root guide in the development section...... you can learn alot from reading.

I get when people say to read the tuts to people but even then its good to ask a few questions. Sometimes its difficult to jump into reading a tutorial and the terminology used and asking a few questions can really give you a jump start.
I used the tutorial and bricked my phone for 2 days before i figured out what i did wrong. If i asked a few questions first i could have prob avoided it. if people dont ask questions what the point of a Q&A forum?

Then you should try some of those which could suit your needs. That's what I did, and I found what I needed...

What will happen if I wipe battery stat before changing kernel???

You need to charge phone to 100% then let it discharge to 5 percent to calibrate.

ROM Manager

Hey I was just browsing the market and decided to invest in Rom manager (used it religiously on my old Droid 1). Lo and behold we don't even have a cwm listed!
What needs to be done to have some of these roms I see on this board listed in that App?
Thanks and sorry for the noob question. (We need a Q and A board.)

You would want to check all 3 if it is your first flash, that way if something goes wrong you have a backup to restore, and the other two need to check because they are cache for your original rom, not the new one.
It's worth doing the backup of your stock setup.
Wiping the data isn't necessary unless you are a stickler about starting "fresh".
Dalvik cache wipe never hurts.

If you are coming from stock, you need to wipe all. It can cause issues, i have seen it. You get lots of force close, stuff that is removed from stock would still be there, which could also cause problems. Its better to do a full wipe when going from stock to a custom rom, and when switching custom roms.
I think I made a mistake, it reboot into recovery and I guess I was to wipe data and cache then reboot into cyanogen rom, but I did not wipe data and cache, Now it froze on me. What can I do, Did I just brick my phone?

I'm getting conflicting answers.

I started using the cm7 nightly's today & i'm getting different answers on which to wipe between nightly's. Cache AND Dalvick or just one of them? Some ppl are saying u only have to wipe cache, i've seen just Dalvick & i've seen both. I'd asssume both but don't want to go thru an extra step if it's unnecessary. Thanks alot guys

It really depends on what changed in the nightly. It never hurts to wipe both, but it is usually the case that the system is smart enough to just rebuild odexes for the things that have changed therefore, I'd just go with the cache. I rarely wipe anything between CM7 flashes even many builds apart, but I live on the edge.

I've never used ROM manager so I can't say, but that sounds like the way to go.
I've had bad luck w/ Rom Mgr soft-bricking my phone. I prefer CWM.
Ok, thanks alot guys! I just wanted to make sure & yea, rom manager just doesn't feel as comfortable to me as doing it manually where can see what's going on & abort & restore if i can see something not going right. Mainly i just wanted to know if it was ok to download the rom from rom manager & then do it manually from there. Thanks again fellas :')

[Question] Kernel flashing and matrix kernel specifically.

Hello everyone!
Phone: nexus s 3g running stock 4.0.3 with matr1x 14.0 kernel
my 1st question:
i was wondering how can revert back to stock kernel without flashing my stock rom again or going back to my previous backup?
i know it is very easy to switch from kernel to kernel but i would like to know how to switch back to my stock kernel. If you come across a link please send it to me. Thanks much appreciated.
my 2nd question:
my phone reboots the 1st time when loading up matrix kernel.
what happens is i press the power button .. the phone boots up normally then halfway through the animation it gets stuck and the phone reboots BUT this time the boot animation works properly and i am finally booted to my phone. Note that i have absolutely no issues running the kernel + BLn + Voodo etc (also not oced either)
question how can i solve this? is it normal?
I have one last question (sorry lol)
about voodo colour is there anyway of removing the grren flash that i get from unlocking the phone.
i know i can reset to 2.3.3 colours and that does do the trick but i would like to use my own custom settings..
stock 3.0.8 kernel can be found here in 3rd post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399273
Questions regarding matrix should be asked and may already be answered in his thread
And green flash is common on kernels with voodoo it also turns screen green occasionally for me when auto brightness set
not sure how to fix haven't researched doesn't bother me that much
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Alright...
First off is this a specific rom? Like kustom kream, nexus beam..
Or just stock ics rooted
Second, try this again.
Get the rom zip again, then get the kernel zip again.
1. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom
3. Set up rom
4. Go back to cwm
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Flash kernel
7. Reboot
Did you do it like that?

im on offical ICS 4.0.3 rom stock (rooted) with matr1x 14.0 CFS
well i downloaded matr1x through rom manager and after wiping dalvik cache i flashed the kernel.
is there anyway of fixing without clearing data? i have a lot of stuff on my phone i would rather not erase... also im on stock ICS so how would go about flashing it again(its not like a rom i can just dl and install or is it)?
speaking of which i know titanium backup backs up apps but does it also backup like my contacts, sms and phone settings etc?
update: i went ahead and only deleted cache and dalvik cache and then installed the kernel again. same problem =/

thanks for trying .
anyways the thing is the kernel works perfectly fine other then that and sinc ei dont reboot my phone so much its really not an issue for me.
just another quick thing since that is the only problem i have experienced with the kernel and that everything else is fine working fine should i be worried about stability?
No, the kernel is pretty stable out of the box.

Stuck Inspire 4G Need some info

There are many type of information all over the internet about my situation. But some sound similar or different. I'm not a developer or good at things like this. I've successfully loaded roms into my phones in the past. I tried to load ics which I got from android central. I currently have EXT4. I did not do a backup on my older rom which is HDREVOLUTION. I simply went into boot loader, then recovery. Wipe cache/dalvik, wipe dalvik and wipe data/factory reset. Then I loaded my ics rom from the sd card. Now I am stuck on the HTC Boot screen for more than 10 minutes. All I can really do now is go on bootloadeer and EXT4,but thats about it. I even tried going on download mode which I think doesnt exist within this.
Before all this. I use acehack to root my phone. It already came in with all the necessary tools I need. I did not back up the stock rom. I just loaded the HDRev rom. Ive been waiting for months for a updated ICS rom,but so far camera is still not working properly,but I just wanted to see what it would do to benefit my phone just out of curiosity.
Now I am thinking about going back to flashing the rom update from bootloader using the stock Inpspire 4G rom,but will I able to take out my micro sd card, insert it into my laptop and put in leeroid rom then flash it using EXT4? Or do I have to go back to stock rom w/ root?
download another rom and put it on your sdcard. boot to recovery through bootloader, wipe and flash.

Would you recommend any good roms for the HTC Inspire 4G that doesn't have a dead download link? Even the stock rom has mostly dead links only 1 is working,but its taking decades to download.

IceCold over at desireHD is the most solid ICS rom I found so far. Even here on inspire the three most solid so far that I consider are Melchizedek, AOSPX and Redemption. But try a few on for size and give them about a week each to really get the feel of them.

Before this turns into a best rom thread and gets closed just look at each rom thread under the development section. Majority of the roms on the first two pages in that section here on xda are current and have good links.
Please do not ask for best rom suggestions. Everyone has their favorites. Try a few out and find the one that best fits for you.

yes you can use 4EXT recovery to flash rom just remember to do a full wipe before flashing.
1. Factory
2. Cache partition
3. advance> dalvik cache
4. go back
5. wipe cache partition (except SD card)
Flash rom and enjoy

The DesireHD and the Inspire 4G are basically the same phone overall. So we can use its rom on our phone. Tho some custom roms in DesireHD may require flashing InspireMod.05 after install of rom. But I dont bother with the inspiremod cause I have not had any issues with the roms.
The best Rom I have ever used is Virtuous Affinity. Not lagging, very stable, good battery life, sense.

Problems with nexus s 4g

Every time I put my phone to sleep it freezes and reboots. Sometimes it'll reboot fine, others it'll freeze on the google boot screen until I pull the battery. I've tired 4 different ROMs from locked stock to unlocked Cm9 to baked and slimbean. I've tired dirty flashing. I'm out of ideas now. If anyone could help out I would greatly appreciate it.

Changing kernels is exactly like changing ROMs. You flash them, although, you have to wipe cache and dalvik cache every time you change a kernel. Look in the developer section for our phone, there are 3 kernel choices: Matr1x, Marmite, and Air Kernel. Test each out on different ROMs, find your favorite. Be sure though, if you're going to be hopping between Android versions (4.0.4 (ICS), 2.3.7 (GB), and 4.1.1/4.1.2 (JB)) You find the version of the kernel that corresponds with whatever version of Android the ROM you're using is running. As far as I know, Marmite is only available for JB, Matr1x has kernels for all versions of Android (GB-JB), and I think Air only has ICS and JB versions. Hope this helps!

Every time I put my phone to sleep it freezes and reboots. Sometimes it'll reboot fine, others it'll freeze on the google boot screen until I pull the battery. I've tired 4 different ROMs from locked stock to unlocked Cm9 to baked and slimbean. I've tired dirty flashing. I'm out of ideas now. If anyone could help out I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi..
It either some junk files u have floating around ur SD card..
Or
Are u tweaking the CPU when u install the ROMs?
Or
Are u using titanium backup to restore any of ur apps?
Try to do the entire factor reset/ wipe both cache & dalvik but also flash a zip file call "wipe all" ( it formats everything under storage and mounts except the SD card stuff)
Then flash the newest slim bean 3.0 it comes with a good kernel
Flash it and do not add anything. Check if the sleep reboot issues still occur.
If not then make a backup b4 adding ur apps and restores since one of those can be causing it.
I hope it works... good luck
