The Kernel will be included in the ROM you install (in the boot.img) of either a custom ROM or a stock ROM

When you install the rom you will install a new kernel!

[Q] Upgrade from ARHD 6.0.2 to 6.1.0

Do I have to super wipe the phone before updating? Kinda confused when looking at the changelog.

6.1.x needs newest ICS firmware 3.24, if your gonna flash need to update again
Yeah, it's probably a good idea to since the 6.1.0 ROM is based on a new leaked build.

Thanks guys!
Both mike1986 and I were working on this in parallel, so we figured we'd both release our work. There are minor differences between the releases (root vs non-rooted), so choose accordingly.
Awesome! I always like to have a stock rom handy, ICS is icing on the cake

I have run the ota update zip on top of the 1.50.401.1 RUU before this was posted as i prefare to keep stock. Everything is fine except i am having trouble gaining root.
After several attempts i managed to flash superuser successfully but none of my apps are able to gain root access.
Is there something different included in this update to prevent root access or have you any idea how i might be able to remedy this.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hey guys. This is awesome. Thanks to you all very much.
Question. I reverted back to stock 1.50.401.1 and remain s-off. Must I reinstall a custom recovery to flash this? I've flashed an ICS rom in the past so know about the firmware etc..
If I can flash firmware, then Rom using pg58img option that'll be sweet, Or must I use custom recovery again and superwipe also?
Thanks Again guys

[Q] Custom Kernel on sensation xe

Greetings,
I am new to this forum.
Can i install this custom kernel "v1.20 1782 MHz" on my sensation xe? my current android and sense version is "2.3.4" and "3.0". Plus i already rooted my device and got SuperCID as well for custom roms.
your comments will be appreciated
Thanks
Hani
The kernel is the SebastianFM latest version?
If so the OP states:
Especially for Android 4.0.3 Sense 3.6, 3.32.401.3.
You should look at Faux or Bricked for GB rooms.

My friend, Stock Kernel won't work with Viper ROM at all..u'll surely get bootloop..So dont try even..
Viper is the Pure port from HTC One S villeC2..HTC has never put Sense 4 for Sensation..So that makes no any sense to flash the ICS Stock kernel..
Use Bricked or Sebastian FM's Kernel..they are majorly depended on Stock kernel with modified some changes that can handle ICS sense 4.x

The stock kernel works with ViperS. First of all, all kernels for the Sensation are based off of the stock kernel source, so it will DEFINITELY work. Secondly, it doesn't matter if the ROM was ported from the HTC One S VILLEC2; there would only be a problem if ViperS was Jelly Bean, but it isn't, so the stock kernel will 100% work with ViperS. Thirdly, the kernel requires no modifications to run Sense 4.X; since I'm a kernel developer, I've looked at the sources of kernels like Bricked and PYD-X, and none of them have any modifications whatsoever specifically for Sense 4.X. Finally, Sebastian's kernel is based off of the stock kernel, and it works with all Sense ROMs, be it Sense 4.X or Sense 3.X, and Sebastian made no special modifications at all to achieve this.
That being said, go ahead and flash the stock kernel

Will WiFi/Bluetooth works in ViperS with Stock Kernel ?
Not a single developer has suggested or mentioned Stock Kernel in Sense 4.x based ROMs..at least I haven't seen any Sense 4.x ROM with Stock Kernel..!!!
No doubt ARHD and Sense 3.x base ROM uses Stock Kernel..!! But I'm preety much sure that in Sense 4.x based ROM, WiFi/BT or something will definitely get broke... :finger-crossed:

Nope, WiFi and Bluetooth will work. Salwansk, I have attached a flashable .zip of the stock HTC kernel at the bottom of this post. I got the kernel files from the HTC stock ROM .zip in the S-OFF guide located in the General section.

It's just a coincidence. Not many people like the stock kernel.
one reason can be camera's flash
what i mean
me personally i think it is annoying not able to use the flash when battery drops down to 30%
but with custom kernel(sebastianFM in my case) i can use the flash even when the battery percentage drops down until 10%
it could be a reason
Just flashed the HTC stock kernel posted above with Viper S 1.6.3. Its stuck on the htc sensation boot screen.

Maybe I packaged the .zip file incorrectly... Nope, I packaged it correctly.
Or it could be the same bootloop problem that PYD-X has. Extract the HTC-stock-kernel zip and flash the boot.img using fastboot.
It might have something to do with the ramdisk and not the kernel itself.
EDIT: I'll just remove the .zip I posted because it's not gonna work. I'll extract it from HyperNonSense this time instead of the stock system.
EDIT2: This is the stock kernel from HyperNonSense. HyperNonSense uses the stock HTC kernel but the dev probably modified the ramdisk to make it work. If this zip doesn't work then flash a boot.img from the ROM you're using by using fastboot, reboot, then flash this again.

No, Sense 4.X has absolutely nothing to do with it. It probably has something to do with the ramdisk. I'd be amazed if it actually had anything to do with Sense 4.X because Sebastian made no special changes to accommodate Sense 4.X (look at his commit history here: https://github.com/SebastianFM/HTC-Sensation-overclocked-kernel/commits/master)
UPDATE: HTC's stock kernel just doesn't want to boot up -_- OP, at this point you should just use SebastianFM's kernel because it's the closest thing to the stock HTC kernel. It might not be booting up because of Sense 4.X or some other reason; who knows. At this point it's just a waste of time to try flashing the stock HTC kernel on a Sense 4.X ROM. and it's a waste of time trying to make it work with a Sense 4.X ROM.
