hi all long time lurker here, first i want to thank all the devs for their their time and effort that they have put in to bring out custom roms and tweaks for all of us. with that being said.
Ive flashed several roms to my infuse, but ive found i like stock the best. ive been running 2.3.6 for a while now, unrooted , plan jane and i like it. I want to root it and install a custom kernel but in the past ive found that doing so usually breaks the feature to watch flash videos. Are there any custom Kernels that allow flash to work and work well?
I dont want to go to a custom rom, their just to much for me, i just need the basic interface of the phone and the ability to watch videos to kill time.
I want a custom ker so i can add tweaks to optimize the performance of my device while not overcrowding it with garbage.
Any help pointing me in the proper direction is appreciated

Hey guys I am fairly new to android and really new to this rooting and custom rom thing and I've been doing my research with what a rooted android w/ custom rom could look like and what it could further do.
I was hoping that my rooted phone is compatible with Custom Roms like Cyanogen Mod, AOKP, etc. Unfortunately my phone isn't listed in any listed devices in the well known Custom Rom Sites but I still proceeded with installing Cyanogen Mod since everyone seems to be using it. I don't even know if there are more of these eye candy useful mods that makes the ios look miserably locked up while hoping at least one of these custom rom is compatible with my crappy awesome phone. But upon installation process of Cyanogen Mod WITHOUT awareness that it really isn't compatible, it stated in that page that I could (STILL)use their Custom Rom at my own risk. Beyond that I stopped the installation process in fear of destroying my phone.
I was wondering whether you guys could enlighten me about the compatibility of Huawei Y220-U10 to Custom Roms. I've seen Huawei Y210's on youtube that's using a custom rom but unfortunately ALL of them who's demonstrating their phones are speaking in Spanish. I also installed ROM Installer but I can't seem to see 'FEATURED'? Maybe because it's the free version?
Now I am willing to take the risk, starting from the bottom meaning derooting my phone, wiping it clean, rerooting it and flashing that Custom Rom but I'm seeking advice from much more experienced users because if you guys tell me that it is a BIG NO NO I guess I'll just have to stick with the Go Launcher and wait until I get a much better, stronger, faster android smartphone which has a friendlier compatibility to everything android. And how come I can't access facebook nor yahoo from any web browser in my phone? is it a virus? Please clarify my theories.
Much Regards, Jom
P.S. Phone is running at 2.3.6 and rooted with Kingo Android ROOT
Hello @Jom Apa Welcome to Android / XDA!
"BIG NO NO!" You can't flash ROMs not made for your device because of the underlying hardware incompatibilities. You might completely kill your phone.
Give me a few minutes while I search for ROMs you can use
UPDATE: Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any custom firmware for your device nor Github entries for the chipset used. Seems you'll either have to stick with stock or create your own custom ROMs there are a lot of support here on XDA, Let the learning begin!
Cheers!
Hey guys, so I got a brand new HTC M8 and Ive been reading all of the rooting guides and such and had a few questions. After doing a search I'm not really seeing many suggestions. So after I S-off, install custom recovery, do a backup of my stock rom, and then put a permanent root on my phone, what ROM do you guys recommend to be the best? Someone out there that has tried most of them? I love to tweak so thought Id get your guys opinions. Also, do most of you use keep the stock kernel or use a custom kernel, if so which kernel do you like? Thanks guys!!!!

I've tried Almost all. For my daily driver I use cleanrom 1.3 on stock kernel atm. I don't mess much with kernels but have just browsed thru a few threads and found some kernels that do not have "official" release. Look into them as they have gotten nice reviews. Sky fall is nice for stock as well. D.h. and his GPE ROM is pretty on point with that straight google experience. I have not tried sinless yet but that has good rants for being a GPE ROM. As far as aosp they are hit or miss for my device. Play with those for your own experience. I prefer the stock sense and great battery life so since I have been following @scrosler from my past few phones and know what to expect I am partial to his creations. Good luck. Don't forget to NANDROID And thank your devs .
Hello! I have the Boost Mobile LG Volt and I am somewhat of a noob but smart enough to get it rooted on V4 using a rollback guide and towelroot. My problem is i hate the stock kernel and hate not having voltage control. Is there a flashable package that i can use to add voltage control and all of the other fun things that come with a custom kernel? Ive seen guides on porting roms to my device and they seem fairly simple since its just editing a zip with all custom stuff and leaving the sys files alone. Again the kernel!!! Ive tried flashing so many diffrent kernels but they all softbrick my phone
I love this phone. With root i have CPU settings so it lasts 3 days heavy use. I want more !!! Please help!!!
The stock kernel for this phone is available on githubhttps://github.com/chevanlol360/Kernel_LGE_X5
And from what im reading kernels must be device tailored?

yes sir they do. development is still in its infancy, there are people working on cyanogenmod right now, but they "JUST" got audio support, so you may want to wait a minute. There are a few custom roms available, just takes a lil google-fu.
Also you are very lucky to still have a working phone, careful with those kernels.
Hey, i got a little project right here. It's important to say that i have knowledge in this kind of stuff but i never messed around with it except from installing roms on my phone.
I have to modify my self a ROM and kernel from android stock ROM (lets say Lollipop 5.1.1).
I need to do stuff like disabling the SD/Bluetooth /WI-FI in the kernel and comping a new ROM. Can someone here send me to the right places to learn how can i achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I hope someone can help me.
I've always loved custom roms which take a stock manufacturers image and add fixes or tweaks. I love roms such as Fulmics for the LG G3.
Now that I've got quite a few phones hanging around in the drawer, I'd really like to try my hand at taking a stock image and modifying it to my heart's content. However whenever I've looked into this, I've gotten a bit lost and mostly ran into guides talking about compiling AOSP.
Does anyone have any guides or tools which can help me modify stock roms (such as LG or Nokia)?
If a phone's Android OS ( aka Stock ROM ) is rooted then it can get changed in any way according to user's wishes.
