No, just download the kernel of your choice>put on your sd card>boot into CWM> wipe cache and dalvik cache>then flash your new kernel>reboot>enjoy.

Glad to see you followed my advice.

sort of. If there is anything from the old one that the new one doesn't overwrite it will remain. Just in case I reinstall my base rom when changing from one custom kernel to another

I ended up just clearing the cache and dalvik cache, then installing it.

New kernel won't boot
Hi, I just rooted my phone w/the latest CM (7.1.0.1) and I tried to install a new kernel using the above steps, and every one I try gives me the kernel boot screen, and then gets stuck at a blank screen. It lights up when I touch the screen, but nothing else.
Thankfully I did a NANDROID backup, got back into cm. But still can't figure out what's wrong.
BTW, CM7 running 2.3.7. Have also tried data wipe of OS, w/reinstall of CM, then flashed kernel, but still no luck. Always get stuck at blank screen after kernel boot.
also, I tried both morfic's Trinity kernel (both of them) and faux, can't seem to get anything different.
Suggestions?

Make sure the kernel you are using is made for CM7 roms. There are kernels that made to work on Froyo, Gingerbread, CM7, and MIUI.

Make sure the Faux you use is made for CM7. There are 2 different kernels.

Uh, guys, you're missing one thing. He's way back on the stable release. I found this out the same way a while back. The Kernels are based of a newer source than the ROM he's running and thus incompatible.
OP: grab Titanium back up and My Backup Root. Use titanium to back up your apps and accompanying data, for safety's sake don't use it to back up system data at this point, since there's going to be a good number of differences between your current ROM and the one I'm going to PM you. Use My backup Root to back up contacts, messages, et al.

^Why did you just PM me some shady link? My problem has been solved and it wasn't anything close to your 'solution'.

Shady link? You're an idiot.

Kernels seem OK. CM is 7.1...?

I used the stable build on the cm site, which lists on my phone as CM7.1.0.1-G2x. The Kernel Version says it's 2.6.32.45-cyanogenmod. The faux kernel also found on xda-dev forum for the g2x seems to be for cm7 gb, and in any case I tried both that I found, uv and sv. Still stuck.
Any help would be nice. Oh, and in case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a n00b.

I deleted it already. It's just the name of the link was sketchy and his "solution" to my question wasn't even what my question was addressing. So it seemed like a generic spam message if you know what I mean.

Come on OP, maybe you can at least remember some tiny detail of the link I posted. As I stated before: Euroskank nightlies. Google it, ask around about it. For everyone: As the quoted member points out, the OP has how many posts and joined when? Also, what has he posted? The title of this thread is nonsensical, obviously he doesn't know what a kernel is or he wouldn't be asking about how to "uninstall" one.
Now, I post what and where, say what, and speak how?
Period.
Oh, and OP, what was your magical "fix" that you say worked but only state that "it" worked? Others may (and do) want to know.

Those kernels are only compatible with nightly 173ish plus. Get off the stable build and grab a nightly, Hellfire Phoenix, or any other newer cm7 based rom. The euroskank nightlys are nice

[Q] Can't flash Custom kernels on NEXUS S 4g

Noob question??
I've had the HTC Evo 4G for the last month and a half, and before I even purchased it, after talks with old friends of Jailbroken iPhones I had decided I was going to jump into modding headfirst when I got my smartphone, and since that day I've flashed, downloaded, backed up, and restored more things than I could count, learned how to swamp myself out of bricks, learned which kernels sucked and which ones didn't, etc...all the typical XDA stuff.
My girlfriend has a Nexus S 4G that she got 2 weeks afterward, and she has absolutely no interested in the development side of the phone, she wouldn't learn what AOSP meant if you paid her a dollar, but she wants her phone to be awesome. I am trying. HOWEVER...I haven't found success flashing a kernel over any custom rom on her phone YET! I have flashed the stable CyanogenMod7.1 as well as assorted nightly builds, MIUI, the one and only sense rom the Nexus can run properly, and that's all went over fine, but every kernel i've attempted flashing thusfar (Trinity, TalonAce, v7 snap kernel, Nexus Netarchy kernel, and a few others) have either stuck me at a splashscreen that wiping the dalvik and cache partition would not fix, or locked me at the initial black screen with the google logo and lock underneath for indescriminate amounts of time...essentially a brick, not a bootloop. This is the first time i've felt I am truly at a point where no amount of research and reading will be able to empower me to help myself so...help a n00b out here?? Am I doing something wrong??
She is currently running a themed MIUI build 110280 with the stock kernel. Anybody run into this problem or one similar yet? I looked and looked for a thread and found nothing..

flash the rom, flash the gapps(if needed), flash the kernel, then boot. be sure its a latest rom build, because most of the kernels are updated to support the latest android versions. also, if it doesnt boot, sometimes pulling the battery for 3 minutes then sticking it back in and booting helps. if that doesnt work, try flashing the rom and gapps, booting, then back into recovery to flash the kernel separately. dont use rom manager, flash in recovery.
Did all of the above before posting this. Trust me if it as something that simple I wouldn't be here lol

try this kernel, its one of my favorites. and its miui compatable http://morfic.euroskank.com/simka/TEUV-S22-04102011.zip
its underclocked at 880mhz, undervolted for great batter life, and the gpu/bus is overclocked to 220mhz(10%) for performance. this little 880mhz kernel runs like its overclocked to 1.2ghz.

also, flash this dalvik-wiper.zip before flashing the kernel. if you are using clockworkmod recovery, it doesnt completely wipe your dalvik, this will http://goo.gl/lgO1v

Are you guys serious?? Read the OP...
I have tried different roms, yes, several, and different kernels to flash. It's not an issue of performance or anything, just that I can't get the dang kernel on the phone in the first place. The link for the dalvik wiper wont help me either, as, like I've already stated, I am using Amon-Ra

a few things..
first off, you havent stated anywhere that youre using Amon Ra. 2nd, Amon Ra doesnt make a recovery for the nexus s, i know that because hes a friend of mine. next, instead of saying that youve tried it already, try it again, things change. also, you dont have to be rude about it, just trying to help YOU. which leads me to.. see ya, im not going to waste my time and try to help you
Wanna bet? I could take a pic of me in the recovery on Nexus S easily right now.
then post it troll
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Eh, whatever, your posts still weren't helpful in either case...I didn't ask for your rom and kernel preferences, I asked about a hard/software malfunction of some sort. I know what kernel and what rom i'm going for, what I CANT figure out is how to get past this brick wall. Maybe you missed the "impatient" part in the bump, whereas my newness kept my post about the recovery from going through (only 1 per 5 minutes, apparently...didn't even notice). Anyone else that actually went through this problem wanna give it a shot?
@esteway
Never been a troll a day in my life. I've been on xda constantly for the last month seems like, but I've never even been inclinated to join this forum, let alone troll in it. And now the one time I need help no one else either has the problem or knows how to fix it. My recovery makes no difference whatsoever, if I had a modded recovery that isn't either clockwork or amon ra like my cousin has (although I don't know how in the world he got it) my problem still remains. If you can't help me, beat it. You're the one trolling, you weren't even in our conversation.
Youre the one saying u can post the pic so.... prove it. As for your problem I never herd of that issue.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
it could be an amon ra recovery that someone ported or built from source, thats possible. it is open sourced, and most recoveries are based on it. but if it is, id flash another recovery because the one you have would be out of date. since you havent tried that, you should try. both clockwork and twrp recoveries are good.

Anyway, twrp? I've never heard of that one before. Is it more fully functional than clockwork? I'll be trying it out. I'll try ANYTHING out, I just want this to go away...I feel like the only one who has ever run into this problem
Here's the tread to twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196500
It is a bit different than clockworkmod mod but give it a try see if it fixes your problem.

Random Reboots

Lately, I've noticed my SGS4G randomly reboots itself. I'm not exactly sure why, I haven't changed anything about my phone since the latest Valhalla version came out, and it never rebooted itself when I first flashed the ROM.
I have CatLog (logcat reader) and aLogcat, but I'm not exactly sure how to use them to be able to tell what happens to my phone just before it reboots itself. There are so many lines that I don't know which one to look at. Can anyone please provide some assistance? My biggest worry is my phone rebooting or shutting itself off at night, and my alarm not loading properly, causing me to miss class in the morning.

What kernel is that running? I think (I might be wrong) it's bhundven's subtly modified stock. The versions past beta 2d (for me) have that issue. If that's the kernel it runs, go check the dev section for bhundven's kernel.
Yup, I have his latest kernel, v0.1.1-rc1. I'll try to downgrade to beta 2c and see if the reboots stop. Thanks for the suggestion.

No worries. Glad the problem is solved. I'm back on his latest kernel for testing. I've only been on it for a few hours, so I'm going to give it a day or two to see how it goes.
The thing that gets me is that the kernel worked perfectly fine from the time I flashed it up until a couple of days ago. I'll reflash the latest version in a few days to see if I can see what's triggering the reboot.

raver nor myself have been able to reproduce this issue. i normally run pandora and android irc all day. not to mention i brick my unbrickable moded phone a lot (lately); when i do i flash sms kj6 one-click, flash bootloaders, flash v0.1.1-rc1+, wipe to factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, reboot, let the phone sit for a half hour. This allows time for the main OS's cache to build. I usually charge to 100% before flashing and plug it back in while it sits for the half hour.
After that I manually re-configure my phone settings and TB restore my apps (not my data, just the apps).
I dont trust system settings/data being restored across different roms.

Hi Bryan
I enjoy your latest kernel 3.1 beta for the past 2 days (on HebrewValhalla ROM) and it's simply awesome.
I only had problems on 2d. 2c has been great as well.
To me, it seems that all reboots ppl were getting were related to Black Valhalla tweaking more than to your kernel.
Anyway, f#k it, if someone is not content let him flash other old kernels, i think you're doing a sacred work here.
You deserve a bier house.

My reboots were not attributed to Valhalla Black as I never loaded it. I reverted to beta 2d and the phone was stable. I'm back on his latest beta after a factory reset to see if it helps. Thus far, I am OK but I want to give it a few days to make sure.
I agree that Bryan's work is great. Unfortunately I think Bryan is leaving or is gone already. His kernel thread in the Dev section is closed & his signature indicates he's leaving. I wish him the best.
Sigh...it just randomly rebooted. So it seems that a factory reset doesn't help the issue.
I will be reverting to beta 2d again shortly.
Lol, wtf @ the signature. Seems rather childish. Anyway, I have exams for the next few days, so I'm gonna wait until those are done to wipe everything and try the latest kernel over again.
The problem just may be our phones. I'm sure there are hiccups in the manufacturing processing while the hardware is being compiled, so I doubt all of our phones are exactly the same. We may be that "lucky" few, Stephen.
Give me logs, don't give me logs. Can't reproduce, you're doing it wrong. I'm leaving

Not that i don't admire Raver's work, but, has anyone got reboots on a non-Raver ROM ? I think he's power tweaking the ROMs, for sure he's done it in Octane.

Yes, I have. I got a new phone and did the 2.3.6 update via Kies Mini then put Bryan's kernel on top of it. When I go back to beta 2d, it doesn't happen. I'm not sure what the deal is.

[Q] UnNamed Install Failed

Hello all,
Just got the Skyrocket about a month ago, it's rooted, but just got into the idea of installing anew ROM/Kernel and decided to try out UnNamed, then possibly install Faux123's Kernel.
I booted to CWM (5.0.2.6), backed up, wiped, wiped cache and tried to install from zip, but the install fails with Status 1. I have searched everywhere, but couldn't find anything about it. I am currently restoring the NANDroid backup I made prior to attempting to flash so I can use my phone.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated as I am brand new to the Android scene.

Before I discovered XDA I started on Google and a lot of results came up for UnNamed and the Skyrocket like someone tagged the site/post/whatever incorrectly. As far as the research goes I want to look at what the different ROMs have to offer, any complaints or issues users are experiencing with them, etc. to make a decision as to which one I would like to install. Same thing with Kernels.

For inspiring developers, rtfm or ask someone who knows what they are doing before you steal someone elses work, look at someones code and get the general idea. If you port or use something as a base, credit that person. Do not just link back to the thread where you got it from. My email is [email protected] so feel free to ask questions, if I know the answers I will be willing to assist.
I don't wish to call anyone out but I will say there are a few roms, specifically for MT4G Slide that have been kanged. One of which was taken from me, another was a kanged version of CM7 which was just the Settings.apk SettingsProvider.apk and Launcher.apk replaced. CM7 is framework edits, not just a list of apps an entire team works on. You cannot just replace apps in CyanogenMod and expect it to work thus the reason some parts of the Settings.apk force close. Its not hard to be an idiot but its even easier to spot bull**** work, do yourselves a favor, leave xda, leave rootzwiki, leave whatever thread you are on and learn from people who know what the fk they're doing.
If my email fills with hate mail, then fine, at least what I did I feel was right and do not have to worry about my development being taken and rebadged, if I'm out of line then have a moderator delete and close my thread. Thanks!
Mainly because we are looking for s-off... Good work though
rooted 1.55.531.3 with clockwork recovery and SU

It's the bone stock myTouch ROM, there should be screen shots and videos of it every where on Google. Since It's stock only, no mods us myTouch users already know what to expect it to look like

Does this have the insecure boot.img? What about the hboot version?
I'm currently unlocked and s-off, running UndeadK9's "stock" deodexed/rooted/optimized R2 release ROM. I don't want to lose s-off or root, but I like having a more "stock" rom as this is my only phone.

I cant edit the build prop at all. If I do it won't boot. Does this have unsecure boot.img by chance?

What are you trying to edit, and to what? I'm almost sure the boot.img is unsecured

I know Daniel60104's ROM does have the unsecure boot.img, not sure on this one.
On a side note, has anyone tried flashing the radio update that accompanied this release? I know that radio is a no-go for older ROMS, but since it was designed with this release, no word yet how it works with a rooted ROM.
Anyone noticed battery life improvement on this stock version? I've been using this for a week now and I can say there's a big difference compare to the older version. I am using the non-debloat (stock). Another thing is I have yet to experience the random warm battery issue that I've been experiencing from older stock based roms.

I have noticed much better battery performance with this stock ROM, as well. I'm using Daniel's stock, rooted ROM, and I ran Bloater to take out the things I didn't want (like TMobileTV, TeleNAV, QIK). This ROM runs very quick, smooth. I'm still wondering about the newer radio, though I'm hesitant to flash it because I can't afford to screw up this phone. This is my ONLY phone, it has to work.

As long as the Md5 matches your safe, just follow the instructions one at a time, like read all the way through them once and make sure you understand the steps, then go back and start the process, that's it the phone handles the rest...BUT its still scary I understand that, Hell I've had my own EVO Shift ROM for about 10 months and i still use the stock 2.2 radio on that phone

Given that I'm running 1.55.531.3, S-OFF and rooted, with the original stock radio, and everything is working splendidly (wi-fi, bluetooth, camera, gps, etc.), I'm not gonna mess with it for now.
I'm interested to see what HTC comes out with since they halted the 1.55.531.3 OTA update due to "performance issues". When they restart, I wonder if it will be a different version, for instance.

Well them performance issues can and will be addressed asap, its all about tweaking the ROM, we had major Sense reloads on the evo shift so we learned to allocate more memory here rather than there, and once a ROM was odexed/scripted/opted they flat out flew.
When it comes to the radio on my DoubleShot i will probably never change the radio cause if it aint broke dont fix it

Untouched UCLB3 Rooted

Ok I'm looking for somthing simple... And there are tons of UCLB3 leaked roms that have been modded and I just get so much lag on the lock screen - I have used the "Heimdall return to stock UCLB3" which does not have the lag. Tried another ROM via CWM that was "stock" with the daily driver kernel (lagged like hell). CWM to stock kernel with the ROM that was marked stock - still lagged.
I could not for the life of me get the Heimdall one click (above) to root with OneClick or the batch available. So I'm looking for somthing based off UCLB -leaked or the release with not much more then a root on it, And the correct Kernel whihc at this point I have no clue what it should be.
Currently I'm running:
FWV
2.3.6
BBV
I997UCLB3
Kernel
2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622
BN
GIBGERBREAD.UCLB3
I know this may seem easy, but to me this is getting fustrating. I have used so many roms... and the best one with the least lag was the return to stock - which I couldn't root (I have rooted many phones)
Any help would be great, or links/suggestions.
What ROMs did you try? Lag...wow...not on any the roms I've loaded....think your install has something to do with your lag....
Do you see the links in my signature if you're on your pc click those links....do some reading....
..I'm humble enough to say it could be my installs... but it's kinda hard to mess up a CWM flash - I'm clearing everything prior. The majority of the lag is on the unlock screen.
As for Roms.. Serendipity...Revolution... and a few others I'm not sure it it's a rom issue or a kernel issue.
I was just a little thrown off by the one click to factory (in your sig) gave me no lag, but I at least get lag on the unlock on all others.

Running your rom, Not too shabby - the animations are a little over the top... Do you have a suggestion for kernel?

The kernel its running is what I've found to run best with it. But you could try entropys kernel

Somehow the ATT family mapper apk was left in. Must of slipped passed my eyes. And I took out the email app to make a bit more room. As a lot of people just use Gmail so I kept the Gmail apk.

Well then..."Joe Know's -Links-"
The DEV Rom is working nice, like I before all I can see is the missed bloat and for some of us who may use our devices for work and need to seem semi professional by responding from the correct email, email.apk. Other than that a toggle for the odd-ball animations would be nice... it may grow on me, the jury is out right now.
I'll run this for a while and possible fash over a differnt kernel or two and see what I come up with.
Thank you both for your time.

I suspect that the lockscreen lag you're seeing is related to underclocking when the phone is locked... Potentially with one of the Infusion kernels.
Consider running Entropy's kernel.
Or the stock kernel... But that locks you out of stuff like CWM and Voodoo Sound / Lagfix.
Need to root the "official" Samsung UCLB3 leak or the official AT&T Gingerbread release for the Infuse 4g, and still want to do it yourself on your phone? See this how-to that I just worked up.:
