Faux123 for Voodoo in the Kernel
Installation for kernel:
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Wipe Batt Stats
Install Kernel
Fix Permissions
Reboot

Awesome. Whats the difference between the two kernels? There were two for custom voltages and 2 for stock voltages. I tried last week with a custom voltage( not the one labeled CM) when I got the phone but I guees I missed the wipe battery stats and fix permissions. So when I booted up all I got was a blank screen after the LG logo. I'll give this a go after work.

[Q] Help Cynagenmod setting forces close!!

When I try to open cyanogenmod settings or the browser it just forces close. I'm running on nscollab 1.0.60 with Trinity kernel!

Try installing setcpu and seeing if that fixes it.
Just install it no need to open it.

Have you tried a fresh install? Always works ;-)

What do you mean by a fresh install?

A fresh install means wiping the dalvik cache and factory resetting the phone in recovery mode before flashing the rom. Best use titanium back up if you want to keep your apps

Like he said. Just go into recovery. And do all that and flash CM again.

Do you remember doing anything to your phone before the fcs started?

If it always has been like this, you've most likely corrupted the ROM file during download.
Download it again and install it after doing a factory reset & caches wipe.

Thanx bro it worked!!!!

I have a question

If I have cm7 on my phone. And I flash a cm7 based rom do I have to do a full wipe?
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Read the op for the ROM you are flashing. It will tell you what is recommended. You can always try to flash it without wiping and if doesn't work right, do a full wipe and flash again.

Can you flash kernels to stock?

I think faux has a few stock kernels. Some people report that Mazout's new gb kernel is working on stock but I haven't attempted that yet.

Did you wipe cache before flashing? Try the following -
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Flash kernel
4. Fix Permissions
5. Reboot
If that does not work, you could add wipe cache before step 2. Also, this kernel will run at ~1400MHz, some phones cannot take it. Have SetCPU or other clock speed program installed and limit top speed to 1000MHz (only if you can boot in the first place!)

OK I got it thx

Back to "stock" ROM kernel?

Can I go back to the kernel that came with my ROM? I'm running Liquid 4/20 nightly with KT kernel currently and want to go back to "stock". Any way to do this without reflashing?

You will have to reboot into recovery and wipe data. It will take you back to when you first flash the ROM.

Thanks for the response.. What all will be lost with data wipe? Will I still have downloaded apps?

The user wants the stock kernel which came with the ROM. He has to flash the Kernel or flash the ROM once again after wiping the data.

Yes this is exactly what I'm asking about. If I don't have the kernel and I reflash the ROM after the data wipe, what will I have lost when the phone reboots? Maybe a better question is what will I need to restore as I've done a full backup.

When you dont wipe anything and flash the rom, you won't loose anything as far as i know. This method is known as dirty flashing. This may sometimes causes unintended issues.
If you wipe cache, dalvik-cache, boot, system and data and flash the rom, you will loose all the apps installed, messages, contacts etc. This is full wipe, clean install.

Thanks a lot for the response. I'm just getting into all the amazing customization options and I've become a flash addict lol. I'm seeing the full benefit of nandroid now... Definitely your best friend.
