Hello Xda-developers community!
I have been having consecutive problems with trying to flash a custom kernel onto my Lg G2x.
I can successfully flash any custom ROM with ease, though when I go to flash the kernel, it installs successfully, but upon reboot the device never loads.
I gave it a good 10 minutes to load, though just sits at a black screen.
I'm not sure if I am doing something rong or not.
One of my attempts was to flash the Trinity kernel with CM7 already on my G2x, though upon successful installation, during reboot I simply get about a 5-10 second android robot logo, and then the screen just sits at black not loading.
If anyone would mind helping me solve this problem, or perhaps tell me if I am doing something wrong, I would greatly appreciate it!
If it doesn't boot then the kernel is not compatible with your rom. If you are running CM7 nightlies only the kernel supplied with it is compatible.
I have the latest CM7 release for the g2x at the moment.
I tried the Trinity Kernel with Bionix 2 and CM7, so far the same result.
I saw a you tube video promoting someone who had the Bionix 2 ROM and Trinity Kernel with each other. I tried flashing them both, but it never booted.
Are there any roms compatible with CM7 at the moment?
Or is it only the Eagle's blood ROM that has kernel compatibilities for the g2x.

The only kernels compatible with CM7 nightlies are the kernels packaged with the update zip for that nightly. Flashing anything else is just a waste of time and you are going to keep frustrating yourself to no end.
When you say the latest cm 7 for the G2x do you mean the latest nightly or the latest stable release 7.1? If you have the 7.1 you should be able to use the trinity ELP but if you are using a nightly build then you can only use whatever came with that build as Jboxer said already.
Edit There are a few that you can use for 7.1 not just trinity ELP just look in the thread for each kernel and they say which ROMS they are compatible with. Also eaglesblood 2.4 is based of cm7 so if it workes on EB 2.4 then it will work on cm 7.1. Also when you flash a kernel make sure you clear the cache and dalvik cache. And wehen you boot up for the firsdt time after clearing the dalvik cache it could take 10 min to boot up mikne usually takes about 5 minutes but I have seen it take up to 10 so keep that in mind.
I solved the problem, thanks! Now I was looking around for roms and I found an miui rom for the g2x.
I like the ROM, so any idea what kernel would work with that?

Under developement, faux's kernels (based off cm7). 3 different types, cm7 stable, nightlies and a different version for nightlies. Miui works with one of his cm7 kernels. I believe it is 44s

Hey everyone I'm kinda new to the whole kernel flashing business and I'm trying to flash the UV Trinity kernel to my Nexus S. From what I've read I only need to flash the zip from recovery without having to do any sort of wiping. The main problem when I tried this is that the phone went into a boot loop and wouldn't go past the boot animation for the kernel. I'm not sure if it's because the kernel is based off of 2.3.4 and I'm currently running CM-7.0.3. Morfic's thread indicated that the kernel was made for CM7 so I don't know what's going wrong here.

You have a ROM based on 2.3.3, meaning it's not compatible with a kernel made for 2.3.4.
Try flashing the latest cm7 and then the kernel.

Would it work if I tried a CM7 variant that's based off of the 2.3.4 source? I'm going for a stable phone and unsure about the nightly builds at this point. If not I'll probably just wait CM to update and release the rom.

it should work on any 2.3.4 cm based roms.
whats the best combo for rom and kernal for the g2x.
im about to install the eagleblood 2.3.3bg (since it has the stock camera) and was looking for a kernal so i could oc it. thanks for the help
also whats best 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 or 2.3.5????
For the most part, rom choice is going to come down to personal preference. As for kernels, faux's is pretty popular. Personally, I'm running eagleblood 2.3.3 and stock kernel.

I am running Triggers 2.3.5 with Fauxs 0.3.5-sv OC to 1.4Ghz and it is awesome. No reboots or issues at all.
There is no kernel made for the ota (2.3.3) roms only 2.2.2 froyo, 2.3.5 cm, eb2.3.5 so basically any rom that is based off the new 2.3.3 ota will not have a oc kernel for it yet LG didn't release source, and best rom kernel combo is definitely cm, and fauxs latest or morfics it a toss up, but honestly the newest nightly runs so nice u wont need one and it has voodoo built in and boot up time is super quick, idk IMO oc kernels are not needed with this phone it is already sick quick I get 3100 quadrant with cm stock kernel, now if u want to save battery life grab a UV kernel
blondie or brunette?? LOL its all up to ur taste for roms and kernels! Im having a great time using the rom and kernel on my sig! But all depends on you and your phone... (some phones dont like oc/uv), the only way to know is to flash, flash flash and flash (watch out not to become a flashaholic...)
Any rooted 2.3.3 ROM, with the Stock Kernel, and LG Camera App.

Hello XDA
I am loving this new build for MIUI I am running the new 108050 and I was wondering what kind of Kernal I can run with this rom or if you can help me figure out my problems.
In the OP jface states that one of the bugs that needs to be fixed is get the kernal support up to date because it would support anything up until nightly 85
I have downloaded fauxs kernals from 3.3 onward and everytime I load the kernals I get no sound and things start to get buggy?
Does the new Rom have this kernal issue fixed or do I just have a special phone
Same here

Likely that it doesn't play nice with these kernels
Miui doesn't play nice with the CM7 Kernels. It has bugs, even wit hthe new version(I had two battery pulls yesterday and some apps don't run). I tred Faux's kernel and wasn't able to hear calls....so I stuck to stock. It almost works, and with it being so pretty, that's enough for me.
I had read somewhere that morfic's trinity kernals play are compatible with MIUI...but that the camera can get a little wonky at times- and i have experienced this with the 1.7.29 version where the colors get messed up- but has anyone tried the trinity kernal on the 1.8.5 yet?
Thank you for your response I really do love MIUI I just wanted to undervolt
I just installed the [Kernel]CM7 [2.6.32.45] on my phone with CM7 already installed. when I turned on the device after the LG logo my screen turns black?!! What coulfd be the issue...I apologize if i come off as a idiot....
You installed what kernel???
From who?
From where?
Cm7 rom has a stock kernel, so you must have flashed a custom kernel, did you check to see if it was compatible with cm7??
Yes its this kernel [Kernel]CM7 [2.6.32.45]. I downloaded from XDA and it says its compatible with CM7. When i rebooted the G2x from CWM the LG logo showed up and then went to a black screen
Just enable USB connection and put a different kernel on ur phone and flash it. Ur phone obviously can't handle the kernel

Which CM7 Kernels could the G2x handle fo.....Im new to the whole kernel thing & im tryna get some help & I want to get more power from my phone.
Each kernel is different for speed, battery life, experimental... so on and so on. Every chipset is different in our phones some can't handle certain kernels.

So what kernels would work on any G2x?? Thanks for the tip idk all our chip sets are different.

Don't forget to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, then flash kernel, then run fix permission, reboot, enjoy

Sounds they are referring to Faux's Kernel...
You have to match them up properly as CM7 just went through a few kernel changes and the Custom Kernel developers have to make them compatible. I think Faux has .44 out which is supposed to work...
Then you also have 4 options from Faux: Pre-OC/UV or Stock Speeds; and CM and DS battery drivers.

Thanks yall u helped out alot.............I just installed the WEAPON ROM with the FAUX Kernel & im using Pimp my CPU for OC & UC........Besides Faux what kernels would be good to use on all G2x phones?
So i just installed cm9, and my phone can only go to 1188mhz so how do i over clock because i know the sensation can go to 1.6
Install system tuner and try to raise the value. If not, install a kernel compatible with cm9 and u should be good.
On some of the early nightlies I was able to use faux123's 005b3 asop kernel and overclocked to 1.78. I only used it on a couple of the early nightlies. I tried flashing it a few days ago and got bootloops. I think that was on nightly 01, maybe 30.
Stock kernel works fine for me. Overclock will probably be available sometime down the road. Someone on cm9 dev thread is running faux's kernel now, apparently without problems. I guess YMMV, or maybe that should be MMMV.
Isn't there a kernel less than 1.78 like 1.67 or something. A 1.6 kernel should be ok and u don't need to turn it up to max.

For CM9, faux is the only one that maybe works as far as I know. There is a mod over in the dev forum that overclocks to 1.5, I think. Haven't tried it, so I can't verify.
cm9 was great, but it wasn't stable yet and couldn't be over clocked
so i tried aokp that wasn't as good the screen looked too small and spaced out, but yo ucould over clock. And unfortunately without me knowing my phone was backing up my apps, ON MY DATA, so i owe virgin about 200$ now =_= for using 70$
In the end i went back to arhd, do yo uguy have any recommendation.
Use faux kernel 005b3 it will over clock it to 1.728.and it is stable and will run great.I have been running it for 5 days no problem.

First make double sure the kernel is compatible with your rom and operating system and firmware . Then wipe cash.and dalvik cash, then flash like a rom. By downloading the Kernel to the root of your SD card and flash through recovery. I like 4 ext recovery. After wiping you install from SD card then reboot. Hope this helps.
Of course do the download first, then wipe, then flash
