Hello XDA friends, I hope this is not a total noob question but here goes;
I am currently running Android revolution HD 1.1.7 rom, which is packaged with RcMix kernel. I am wanting to try this rom with the UNITY kernel as many have reported they no longer suffer the black screen of death while using the UNITY kernel. Problem is that from what I can see, all kernels are packaged with rom's. So is there someone that would be able to teach/explain to me what I need to do to utilize just the kernel? I have been searching and am not having any luck finding this information!
Thanks in advance!
Download the kernel ZIP from the Virtuous thread, flash it as you do a ROM
Nandroid first to be safe
Please search the Android Revolution thread before posting next time.
here is the kernel you are talking about:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16449992&postcount=4318

Hi All,
I have and inspire 4g with stock rom on it. The issue is that when someone calls me, they hear my phone ringing but I dont hear any ringtone so missed that call even though I have about one or two bars on my H network status.
Now i would like to flash a new rom which can fix this issue and also give me HTC sense 3.0 . Can anybody suggest a sollution to the problem or a rom which can give me these.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I had this problem a lot when I first got the phone. I tried a lot of different things before I finally just accepted it as network issues. But at the same time, recently I have not been dropping as many calls or seemingly missing calls, so it's possible it has to do with the setup I'm currently running which is as following:
ROM - Virtuous Unity v1.29
Kernel - Unity v3
Radio - 12.56.60.25x_26.10.04.03_M
RIL - 2.2.0153HM

Thank you for the reply.
I would like to get a similar setup on my inspire. I am pretty new to this scence. So do you have links on how I can get these loads on my phone. Will fashing Virtuous Unity give me the radio and RIL or are there different individual methods for it? Also, do you still have htc sense 3.0 with this config?
yes unity is sense 3. yes a new rom will change your ril. no it will not change your radio. visit the hack kit thread to get u started. and mudknot has a good forum for beginners it's stickied in the general section. good luck

ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122778 (this is a link to v1.31. There are links to mirrors for 1.29 towards the end of the thread, or just use 1.31)
Kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130350 (that's to v4 of the kernel, I'm sure v3 is linked somewhere in the thread, or just use v4)
Radio/RIL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106324
All threads have very good instructions on what needs to be done to install these things. Yes Virtuous Unity is a Sense 3.0 ROM.
If you haven't already, you'll need to start here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352) and Root/Unlock/S-Off the phone, then flash the ROM, then flash the Kernel, then flash the Radio, then flash the RIL (order of last 3 doesn't really matter).

Thank you for the links. Will try this today and let you know how it went. Also can I backup these stock rom and radio/RIL etc before I do this. I know you can backup the existing rom when i am on a custom rom, but is it possible with the stock rom? Same for the radio?
Thanks
John

No way that I'm aware of. However this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507) is a tool that's developed/being developed to return you to bone stock, unrooted (ROM, Radio, RIL, S-On. don't know if it reverses SIM unlock and SuperCID). This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224) is the stock RUU - it will leave you S-off but flash stock, unrooted ROM, Radio, and RIL
Hi,
Well I'm currently running TripnDroid OS and before I flashed it I flashed a file of his named Pg582.zip i think it was. That's the firmware right? So anyway I was planning to switch to opensensation and atm I have a lot of TripnDroid stuff on my phone such as the boot screen. If I just wipe and install the firmware followed by the rom in the opensensation thread will this all be gone? Is it stuff from the firmware or rom?
Yes, it will all be gone. Boot/down animation's are from the ROM itself. Very important to have right firmware.
There are other things too like in the market my device is named something like 'TripnDroid HTC Sensation'. Is that ROM specific because I had virtuous inquisition before and it didn't do that
Yes that is ROM specific. Just the dev's personal tweaks that makes their ROM theirs.

Just for future reference, there is a search function on these forums. For example, I typed 'custom kernel stock rom' into it and a whole bunch of useful information appeared.
Having said that...
Is your phone s-off/rooted? You could flash a custom kernel provided that the build numbers are compatible. For example, Bricked kernel is stated to work with the majority of roms since it creates a boot.img from the one on the phone. Ultimately I would recommend extreme care and I would personally be flashing a stock-look custom rom if you still wanted the stock experience with the custom kernel.
Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a good kernel for an ICS rom (I'm still on stock 4.0.4).
I have been looking at [Kernel][S4 ICS][10 DEC][SENSE] Beastmode BRICKED Ville [Linaro -O3][3.0.56].
I have a few questions about that kernel:
1) does it support init.d scripts?
2) does it improve multitasking in any way? Other kernels use zRam for this purpose, but I don't understand if this kernel does that too. Has "Google Snappy Compression" (mentioned in the features) something to do with this?
3) will I need to use a 3rd party app (like kerneltuner) in order to undervolt? And will the undervolt stick when shutting down the phone?
4) will I be able to go back to the stock kernel by restoring a backup with TWRP?
Those features are implemented in Fusion kernel, although it's no longer mantained...
Thank you in advance, it's my first time studying the kernel subject, sorry for bothering.
