I just recently installed CM9 with faux's kernel and it was overly buggy! It froze, apps constantly crashed, the screen would turn black if I turned the phone horizontal. For you slow folk, that's sideways.
Within 10 minutes of using CM9, I decided I was reverting to CM7! So, I booted into CWM and wiped everything; Dalvik, battery stats, cache, and did a full wipe. I reinstalled everything pertaining to CM7 and "tried" to restore. This is where I encountered a strange issue! When the restore got to the point of retiring data, it started to display 1 byte hex for awhile. The process took 3 times the norm. It then produced an error while trying to restore .Android.secure. I eventually fixed but has to delete all my backups since they all became "corrupted", if that's what you wanna call it. Thoughts?

Your poor experience on CM9 was probably because of a bad flash or bad wipe. Did you use the nullifier? I suggest you try the Hellfire Sandiwch, while it isn't perfect, it comes close to it.
The correct terminology is landscape by the way.
Try eb aosp. Its a great rom.

Definitely, the devs here have done some amazing stuff. Next time you flash, run the dual-wipe nullifier:

I give CM9 another go. Last time, I used faux's UV/OC kernel. This time I used the stock voltage kernel instead and its running smooth now!! This rom is pretty bad ass!
UPDATE: com.android.phone crashes every 10 seconds. Its pretty annoying! If I reset, it stops but if I try to share a picture from facebook to tumblr or mms it will cause it to crash every 10 seconds.

Tuna kernel isn't for our phone. I'm surprised your phone boots.

I don't think you should be flashing.
Can't tell if it's a troll or not.
ICS is not ready yet and most likely will not be until we get some sort of leak on ICS drivers. So if your phone is daily driver and you need it for work, CM7.2 is the only way to go, it also has much more features, more stable, and faster.
No, not trolling. I actually "assumed" that derkernel was G2X specific. Sometimes I don't look into stuff as much as I should! I've been busy all day on top of it. I'm replacing my head gasket on my truck so I guess I didn't think much of it at the time. But I don't see it as a stupid move! I mean there are so many different kernels out there, I just assumed it was just another name for the G2x kernel....Tuna. its running smooth tho. With the exception of the video camera and not being able to view recorded video.
Thanks buru I'll check out the bionix kernel too.

I want to switch between MIUI and CM7 and I was hoping that I could just flash each one whenever I want. Im currently running CM 7.0.3.1 for the HTC evo 4G if that helps. Thanks for any help
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
You can just make sure u wipe everything before u flash it and it should go alright
Make a backup of your current rom in recovery. Wipe factory/data, cache, davlik, flash the other rom, flash gapps, then make a backup of that rom. Then you can switch between the backups in recovery.
First of all thanks for the help guys but I think I didn't explain what I was looking for very well. I wa hoping that I wouldn't have to wipe and stuff. I wanted to just be able to keep my data folder and just have to flash the Rom each time without having to wipe and after restore

You'll have to do a full wipe whenever switching to a different ROM. The only time you do not have to do a full wipe is when you are changing nightlies or updating your current ROM.
All right thanks. U mind telling me which one is better in ur opinions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Actually their both good! I started out w/ CM, the nightlies have a few bugs at times, but most of them eventually get resolved..!! At the moment though i use Evo Decks and/or MIUI, just because everything works w/ these roms and they agree w/ Tiamat kernels very well, fast and smooth and battery life is great!!! If you like changing the look of your phone often, then i'd go with MIUI coz of the theme manager...

It's the OC kernel. I've had the same thing when I used it. I dont think its harmful, but it is annoying if your a perfectionist
It really is...how exactly do you revert to the stock kernel? If you can't is there a download for it? I wonder if there is a fix for that glitch?

mine does the same thing., i noticed though after flashing back to stock it would still happen from time to time. I'm trying really hard to remember if it ever did that before i started changing things on the phone (which was day 1 hahah)
It never did that before I started flashing things.I just don't know if it's my kernel our rom but I'm leaning towards kernel now

If you dont want that glitchy flash of pixels on boot, then use another kernel other than the OC kernel here.

Defuse is a great kernel especially for battery
Big dog Infuse I997 running Infused 1.5, Defused 1.4
I had this happen to me one time when I was on 1.5.1, or 1.5.. I don't remember. I had problems with it, so I flashed back to Gtg's kernel. I'm also running infused rom. Hi recently went back to the latest OC kernel. It's posted in one of the more recent pages. It's basically 1.5.1 before speedmod was added. I no longer notice the tv snow, but like I said it only happened once. Since then I've been looking for it.

I suggest flashing the Defuse 1.4 kernel - it doesn't do overclocking but it's solid and stable. Don't flash 1.5 - it has BLN too.
Every attempt to implement BLN on our phones has led to flakiness and instability.
Other option - upgrade to Gingerbread, that's where all the kernel development is these days.

Defuse isn't an overclock kernel. You have a choice of overclocking with some instability, or stability without overclocking.

Kernel?
It depends: If you want battery life get Trinity ELP (I that's the one, the one which only allows to OC to 1.1GHz) if you want pure power go for Faux, if you want a balance (don't know if it has Voodoo sound though) go for Dragon for CM7 (not OTA).
So I take it that you can use different kernals with different roms and you flash them the same as the roms?

Most, if not all of the newer custom roms are debloted, meaning the bloat has been removed in OTA based roms. If its AOSP or CM based, it's built without bloat.
I really would appreciate some input on this.. I was on NexusMod ICS for about two days before I woke up one morning to find that my phone had rebooted and was stuck at the splash screen. I tried pulling the battery and powering it on but got the same result, so I tried to get into CWM and couldn't. It would boot to recovery but not long enough to actually do anything, so I ODIN'd stock rom and CWM then flashed AOKP build 38 instead of NexusMod. Everything was fine for a few days but this morning I woke up to my phone stuck on the splash screen again, only this time when I pulled the battery and powered it on, it booted up fine, but my wallpaper had changed (weird).. So I really don't have a clue why this would happen, but I'd appreciate some help, and TIA!
