Hey,
I'm about to go to Superlite 5.0. I have only flashed once before on my Rogers 727R to SmoothIce that was GB based.
On the Superlite instructions it says nothing about flashing the modem, but other posts I have read say that you need an ICS modem...?
Can someone give me a hand with Steps?
Do i need to add anything to the instructions here:
.:: install guide ::..
Download superlite-5.0.zip
Reboot to Recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Under Advanced "Wipe Dalvic Cache"
Under "Mounts and Storage" Select "Format /System"
Install superlite-5.0.zip from sdcard or internal sdcard
Rom is full wipe
Thanks for helping a noob
Just follow the directions he gives. He designed the rom. He knows how it should be installed. But read all the info in that thread first so you will know what to expect.
Just wanted to share also that I've flashed nearly all of the ICS roms now and given each a few days to see how they all run, and this Superlite really seems to be the most bug free for me. Sometimes it seems like even following install directions to the letter will still give different results for different people. Maybe there are so many little factors that can effect the outcome that it can have varied results but this ROM is really not giving me any issue with lag or freeze ups that a couple of the others did right off the bat.

That's because MHX created a script that does a superwipe, flash modem, kernel, rom with one zip install package. Here's his change log: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24544803&postcount=883
Yeap he does a good job of cleaning the slate before install beings. This is what he does before it installs.
Code:
ui_print("SUPERLITE: formating /system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24", "/system");
delete_recursive("/system");
ui_print("SUPERLITE: formating /data");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/data");
delete_recursive("/data");
ui_print("SUPERLITE: formating /cache");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p26", "/cache");
delete_recursive("/cache");
mount("vfat", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p28", "/emmc");
delete_recursive("/sdcard/.android_secure");
delete_recursive("/sdcard/Android");
delete_recursive("/emmc/.android_secure");
delete_recursive("/emmc/Android");
unmount("/emmc");
ui_print("SUPERLITE: starting install");
Just wanted to say thanks. I would recommend that folks use Darkside Superwipe before flashing the ROM. It didn't work for me until I did.
The ROM looks great and runs smooth as butter. I am still having issues with the hotspot (seems to be a common issue) and the battery life isn't great.
But otherwise slick.

+1 for darkside wipe...........especially on ICS ROMs
Just have to say..
Battery life is not great for me. Running an exchange account I am getting about 10 - 12 hours to a charge.
On my GB system I was getting about 28 or 29 hours.
Feels like something is sucking up the battery. When I look at the battery usage it is blaming everything on the screen. But I haven't been staring longlingly at it or anything.
Ideas?
try using betterbatterystats. sounds like u have wakelock issues because of a rouge app
I downloaded bbs. Looked at the Partial Wavelocks. the two biggest users are AudioOut_1 @ 17% and show Keyguard at 14.8%
I realised this morning that I wasn't getting LTE. So I did the *#2263# fix.
Do you think that was causing battery drainage?
if u have poor lte reception, for sure. I suggest using the ics_rogers_base radio by leec, it will greatly helpbur reception and speed

yes you need to flash a modem. the GB roms use UCLA3, ICS seems to use UCLA4. Some people have had the note modem UCLA5 work for them (I had no such luck, resulted in a non-responsive ROM).
Coming from NexusMOD GB, this is what i did. i was running on CWM touch 5.8
Reboot into recovery
flash the UCLA4 modem
wipe data x2
wipe cahce x2
wipe dalvik x2
format system, data, cache x2
flash super wipe x2 just to be safe
flash superlite, it'll auto reboot
when it does, let it sit and dont touch it for a few minutes to let it settle.
this should work for you. afterwards, if you want, you can make a backup and try flashing UCLA5. some of the people in the thread had it succeed and they're getting better battery out of it.
edit: grab 5.1. it includes 3 patches including the AOSP browser and MMS. much better.
also, run supercharger v6 -> nitrolag nullifier and 1000HP settings. is awesome.
then go to your build.prop and add the tweaks from the thread in the general section

Or run team perfection rom, which has all that stuff buily in. MHX's rom are more for people who like touchwiz, and/or those who want an entirel stripped down base
Wicked - I was thinking about giving the Sky Ice Rom a try but I will also look at the Team Perfection. I'm going to give all this a try this evening.
Thanks for all the help. Really appreciate it.
Results?

Just curious what your results were? I am looking to hop into the ICS game too, as I just bought the skyrocket and am still on stock GB.
Thanks!
Treadlightly, I'm looking at installing either Superlite or Sky ICS this weekend.
I'm also on Rogers, still using gingerbread. I'm a bit nervous about this as some people who were early adopters on the leaked ICS were having trouble with Rogers phones.
I'm not seeing it now, but I'm still nervous. I'd sure appreciate a report after you flash Superlite.

By the way Treadlightly, don't forget to install CWM, you will need that, but once you do, make sure you do a backup using the backup menus that are a part of CWM. It will copy to the SD card or external SD. Copy the backup file to your hard drive before starting the install of ICS.
That's called a Nandroid backup. So if things get screwed up, you can always recover with that backup. Also you may want to use Titanium backup to backup all your user data, so that it can be re-installed, using Titanium Backup, once you've done the upgrade to ICS. Again, you will want to make sure the data is backed up either to your External SD, or even safer, on your hard drive.
Don't back up and restore system programs and files, just third party stuff, contacts, calendar etc.

SDCARD Partitioning Tutorial.
I know that with EXT4, partitioning the sdcard can be a hassle. Here's a little workaround to help you get it partitioned the easiest way I know without having to mount systems and such in Terminal Emulator. This way makes you flash 2 seperate recoveries, but I would rather do this than the other methods which could take upwards of a half hour or even longer. I've seen people that were working on it for a couple hours. Without further adieu:
NOTE: If you are running RFS, just follow step 1. and you'll be done. If you are running EXT4, skip right to step 2. and follow from there.
1. If you are running RFS, then you do not need to follow any other steps. In the green CWM2.5.5 recovery, just go to "advanced" in recovery and choose the Partition option. It's going to give you two questions for sizes that you want. The first size is going to be the ext size. For this it will give you a few options, but I don't recommend choosing anything below 512. You will see all the options when they pop up, just choose what you feel most comfortable with. The next thing it's going to tell you to select is the swap size. I again don't recommend choosing anything below 128 for this option. You will again see a list of options, so choose what you feel most comfortable with.
2. If you are running EXT4, then follow these steps and you'll be up and running with your new partition very soon. First thing you need to do is gather all the tools you're going to need. Here are the list of tools you will need:
A. One Click Root & Recovery 2.5.5
B. One Click Root & Recovery 3.0.0.6
Quite the long list huh? lol ...I told you it's gonna be simple lol.
Download both of these files (if you don't have one or the other already) and extract them to an easy to find location on your computer somewhere.
3. Ok, you're going to do this just the same as you would if you were rooting your phone from a stock state. And to answer your question that's running through your head right now, No, this will not return you to RFS. You will still be on EXT4 the entire time, so there's not real need to backup your sdcard or worry about having to sit through the backup&restore again. Once again, to be very clear... Even though you are flashing cwm2.5.5 recovery, you will REMAIN EXT4. So let's continue. Make sure USB Debugging is on and plug your phone into your computer. Do NOT mount the sdcard, just have the phone plugged in. Open the One Click Root & Recovery 2.5.5, and run the program. When it's finished, your phone will reboot. Do NOT unplug it until the script is complete. The script will say "Operation Complete. Hit any button to continue" or something along those lines. Just hit a button and the script will automatically close. You can now reboot into recovery and you will see the 2.5.5 recovery with the green letters. If you don't have the green letters, then you didn't run the right One Click, and you should start over using the correct one lol . For those that successfully flashed the 2.5.5 recovery, move on to step 4.
4. If you have the green letters, then we'll continue, if not, repeat step 3. with the correct one click lol. Now that you have the green letters, revert to step 1. When you're finished following the same instructions from step 1, move on to step 5. If you have any issues with anything from step 1. (which you shouldn't, but if you do) click here to go to Mibbit's irc chat website. Along the top left side you will see 2 tabs labeled "Home" and "Connect". Make sure you are on the tab that says "Home". When on the tab labeled "Home", you will see the box in the middle of the page. Right beside the letters "IRC:" is a dropdown box. You're going to click on the dropdown arrow and select "EFNET". Next, you're going to enter your nickname, and finally, beside "channel:" type "#viper" and select "Go". That will bring you to Team Vipers chat where one of us will be able to help you.
5. Now that you are partitioned, it's time to restore the EXT4 recovery. If you do not restore the EXT4 recovery, you will not be able to flash any new ROM's or Kernels, so you MUST restore the correct recovery. To do so, you simply do the same steps. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on and plug your phone in. You do NOT need to mount. Now you simply run the 3.0.0.6 One Click Root & Recovery. Let it run through it's process and it will reboot itself. Do NOT exit out of the command prompt until it says "finished, press any key to continue". Once your phone reboots, you can then reboot into recovery and you will see that you have the orange letters again. When you see the orange letters, you now have a partitioned sdcard and you are back on the correct recovery.
**ONCE THE KERNEL IS RELEASED (Which should be within the next 24 hours as long as my testers don't see any issues) THEN MOVE ON TO STEP 6.**
6. Now that you're partitioned, the only thing left to do is flash the kernel. Connect your phone to your computer and copy the Kernel to your sdcard if you have not done so already. To flash it, just choose "Install zip from sdcard" followed by "Choose zip from sdcard" and simply navigate to where you stored it on your sdcard. That's all. It's quite quick and painless and you should be able to do it all within 10-15 minutes.

Do i sense a 3.0.1 update to be sweet! or is the current 3.0 this version?
Hi BT. Thanks for the great ROM. I am using 3.0 right now. What is the difference between 3.0 and 3.0.1? Thanks. Keep up the great work! And one quick question. When I try to install lagfix, everythiing works besides the last step, installing viperspeed. It says I cant install it because I dont have enough room. but I have 185MB free. any ideas?
Link? I hope it's not there or else I'll feel more jerky than usual. Oh and super-thanks for those file names on the battery mods, so important... I have a mess of files like GREENBATMODTHISTHAT with no versions or anything and I guess I didn't realize that I needed to keep mods organized by ROM.

Hey BT there is a app called WidgerLocker Lockscreen which lets you put any widget/app i believe on you lock screen that might be helpful i think..
Just installed it and brought back the aosp lock screen might wanna check it out... Send me a pm of ur email so i can send u the apk cause its a paid app
Another quick question BT, what are the other options for in the lagfix? Are they for future upgrades or not necessary at all?
Hey BT I just want to thank you for all your hard work and your great rom. I hope this hasn't been answered but is it necessary to remove my original root before flashing any of your roms? I have flashed most all of them and I have not deleted it. I'm not having any problems with 3.0. Thank you....

nope you don't have to...just wipe 3x, wipe cache 2x, and wipe dalvik cache ONCE and flash the rom then you are good to go (assuming you are using the correct modem and if not then flash it first with odin)

Bt, awsome work, wish I had you for a neighbor. Question, scince going to 3.0 my usb tether stopped working, is it not supported in 3.0 ?
First...appologies to those who get frustrated with the newb who shouldn't attempt this if they have to ask how....
I am fortunate to own a GTAB that came already loaded with Vegan 5.1.1 and so I have not had the opportunity to do any tinkering myself. I have read the sticky on CWM and the process seems simple enough. I have read through the threads on the various ROMS but have not read of anything that seems complete enough or enough of an upgrade to make me want to switch from Vegan..... until Calkulin.
Of course the ROM I want is the one that seems to stray from the simple use CWM method. Specifically as it relates to backup and recovery. Right now Vegan is very stable and does everything I want it to do. So, why change... because from what I have read, Calkulin's ROM does everything, is stable, and does it with overclocking built in. And I can't help myself.
If my Tab goes all Charlie Sheen with this upgarade, I need to be able to find my way back. I can use CWM to make a backup of my current setup however I am concerned that all the other steps for this ROM ( using Calkulin's format and nvflash) will obliterate my backup and my CWM install for that matter.
I can use a search function. I am not asking to be spoon fed. Vegantab 5.1.1 is arguably one of the most installed ROMS on the GTAB and I'm sure there are many people who will want to take this route to Calkulin. If someone has made this jump, I think that they would be helping out many here by posting a step by step or at the very least, a what to be careful of post.

It does not support overclocking, as none of the kernels do at this time (unless that has changed since last night). Honestly, unless you want to tinker for the sake of tinkering, I'd leave Vegan on there.
Um, Calkulin gTab 1.1 doesn't require anything special to flash it. It was about as easy as it gets. Use CWM recovery to run his format all.zip, his rom update.zip, and if you want a custom kernal update.zip. Reboot and you are done.
Make a backup and copy your cwm file to a PC as a backup. I would use the format all if switching from vegan to a tnt lite varient. Also I would invest in titanium backup. It will save all your apps and data that you can back up on PC and restore after a new rom is flashed.
That said, I say stick with vegan. I love to tinker but I always come back to vegan 5.1.1.
Good luck
OK, I totally suck....
My head got turned inside out. I confused Calkulin' s format all zip with the one in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974422
and started to think that this process was a lot more involved. I guess researching too much is not always a good thing.
@ramerco I suppose you have flashed from Vegan to Calkulin's. I guess his format all.zip doesn't take CWM off like the one from the other post? Is switching back and forth as easy as choosing your backup?

I've been switching from TnT-Lite/VeganB511/Vegan7 GB/Calkuin's multiple times just using CWM backup/restore with no issue.
Remember to do 3 wipes before restore or flashing firmwares:
- Wipe data/factory reset.
- Wipe cache.
- Wipe Dalvik cache
@rickyt63 Are you doing these three wipes instead of Calkulin's format all or in conjunction with it.
Also to those who have tried both Vegan 5.1.1, Vegan 7 and Calkulin can you give your brief comparisons of these three? Pros, cons, which do you prefer? Why?
I also have been doing a lot of switching between 5.1.1 tnt lite vegan ginger experimentals just using CWM like above - you just need to do a factory reset wipe cache and the dalvic cache. I think it helps to wipe dalvik cache again after the ROM is flashed. Calkulins Rom is by far the fastest and when you flash clemsyn's froyo v3 kernel on top of that you get a great result. Titanium backup allows you to easily restore all your apps and settings even after a factory reset
Clemsyn said that he has a new kernel tweaked just for calkulins rom which he may release soon.
Thanks for the clarification, rocky3. The guy I bought the GTAB from used CWM to erased all his user data before he gave it to me but I know that I either have Titanium backup on there or have the .apk in my download folder.
I'm off to learn more. Thanks again!

I did not use Calkulin's format when switching roms. Only 3 wipes.
Here are some thoughts about Roms: They're all fast and stable IMO.
1) TnT-Lite V4.2.5: Quadrant score ~ 2400.
- Pro: Fast and stable. Did not delete media from sdcard2.
- Con: boot up seems a little slow due to sdcard2 scanning, but after scanning it's fast.
2) Vegan V1B5.1.1: Quadrant score ~ 2600-2700.
- Pro: Fast and stable. A tad faster than TnT-Lite.
- Con: media delete from sdcard2. fixed: create a ".nomedia" file in sdcard2.
3) Calkulin V1.1: Quadrant score ~ 2600-2700.
- Pro: Fast and stable. A tad faster than TnT-Lite. Monster Madness run flawlessly.
- Con: media delete from sdcard2. fixed: create a ".nomedia" file in sdcard2.
4) Vegan7 Ginger Bread Experimental
- Pro: Fast, Nice Ginger Bread UI
- Con: Audio still clunky, some games don't work properly vs. TnT-Lite/Vegan V1B511
BTW, I use TnT-Lite or Vegan V1B511 as daily driver.
Hope this help.
Rich, thanks so much for your reply! When I look at your evaluation of vegan 5.1.1 and calkulin and I couple that with Butch's advice here and elsewhere, it makes my decision easy. For now, I will stay put with Vegan.
At some point, I will have to nvflash back to stock in order to take a viewsonic update ( I assume this will be the only way to get a honeycomb based rom, if that is even in the cards for the gtab). At this point, it doesn't seem that there is anything out there worth risking what I have now... a perfectly stable rom which does everything I need it to do with a full market.
I still get the itch to change up my tab even though I love where I'm at with VEGAn beta5.1.1, so I started changing themes, bootanimations and boot logos. There are some pretty cool themes made by gto777 that flash with cwm or metamorph. You can find those in the apps and themes thread. Awesome boot animations can also be found there along with instructions on how to load them. If you already know that nvflash is in your future you may want to get a little practice in with it early by changing your boot logo. Nothing made me happier than getting rid of the birds on boot and changing it out for a nvidia tegra2 logo. Its a fun task and there have been people posting their custom boot images for use on the sticky thread in the above mentioned section. Thinking I may re do mine this weekend, saw someone had put their name, number and email on the boot logo. Pretty cool feture as the boot logo survives through rom flashing. Seams pretty handy in cases of loss or theft.
Anyway hope this helps with the flashing itch. Have fun!
OK, so it seems that today's announcement puts honeycreams even further out of our reach.
I can't see myself making changes just for cosmetic purposes. I would only change for either a performance increase or greater compatability with newer software.
It seems that vegantab 5.1.1 will be it for me for a while until maybe the gingerbread version is fully baked.
Hello Everyone,
So Yesterday i finally decided to give roms and themes a chance . So i downloaded different types of roms and themes but each had atleast one issue in them or didnt have correct files or wouldnt let me backup my contacts and apps with backup assistance & google. I have wiped off my data atleast 10 times in the past few hours.
So today i come here to ask if you guys could help me by giving me the download link [With instructions if possible] to a rom that looks
-Clean
-Pretty Fast
-Has No Bugs / Issues With it
-Will Let Me Restore Things i need
If anyone could help me out i will be ever so thankful ! i just want a better look for my droidx.
It's going to be hard finding one with out bugs but must bugs around are minimal that most people don't notice when I made the jump from stock to rooted I went with liberty and am still with liberty take a look at liberty google searching droid x liberty will take you to the main forum for it and the way to install it

I will help where I can and I am sure others will be chiming in soon..First what version are you on Froyo or the GB Leak? Are you rooted, I assume you are but you know what they say about assuming...In the forums that these exist I assure you there is much help...I will add some others once I know your setup no need to post something that will not work for you....
ROMS:
Darkslide 4.2 ( my personal favorite for Froyo)http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-roms/6155-darkslide-v4-2-a.html
Apex Latest version for Froyo and he has a Aplha 2 out for GB but you have to follow him on twitter to get it as he doesn't want it posted out any place as far as I know of

my preference is still fission 2.6.1
google "team defuse"
donate and get fission rom manager (it is an apk, you will have to put the download on your sd card and use a file manager from on the phone to install the apk and run it).
donwload fission 2.6.1 be (black edition)
figure out where it is on your sd card
boot into clock work (recovery) and go to advanced, wipe dalvick, wipe battery stats
back out and wipe data and wipe cache
mounts; mount system and mount data (will say unmount when done)
install zip, chose zip, fission 261
after done reboot and set up.
reboot phone again for good measure.
find a theme
is there a list of stable roms for LG-P920 (OPTIMUS 3D)?
i recently flashed King 3d ROM its a good firmware, i love the transitions,boosts,and other features.. but i had issues after that such as:
/widgets (when i set widgets,if rebooted,everything i put on it will be double copied 1st and 2nd windows will have the same widgets)
/time and date (if the phone was rebooted the date will be set into 1/1/2000 and time will be 12:00am)
/purchased items on market such as axcel drum, recieving messge like (this software isnt compatible with your device), when i flashed into this rom, some items i payed for,i cant download it anymore unlike the previous rom i have i can install almost everything from the market
/other downloadable apps i can download some apps but it force closes or automatic closes
/Saving Contacts whenever i save new contacts or replace, my phone hangs.. so i need to remove battery..
----i didnt make any back ups.. can someone give me a download link to lg-p920 stock rom?found link but they are uploaded on fileserve.. or is there any better rom to run on my phone?
From 2.2.2 Froyo(Stock)

Sure.. if you mind.
You must be using that rom. Have you tried king 3d rom? If you did can you make a comparison between those two? About performance,compatibility,features..

(haven't used king3d although, but Thiaiz Rom + Thiaiz kernel is a VERY stable combination and quite fast).
Havnt heard about kernels. Is it flashable too? Does it make changes into the performance only?or with the appearance of the phone? Thanks in advance.

1. Yes, kernels are flashable.
2. Performance and other tweaks: antenna signal power, battery consumption, etc... (don't expect miracles however).
Look here (though unfortunately that kernel is unstable for me, is probably the most advanced):

Have you done the 3 wipes in recovery?
If not:
-reboot and enter recovery,
-Wipe Data/Factory reset -> select yes (be warned: this erase your personal data, I suppose you did a backup first),
-Wipe Cache -> select yes,
-Advanced / Wipe Dalvik Cache -> select yes,
-reboot
Should work...
Good luck,
ive learned the basics.. i did that.. but thank god i solved my problem.. i flashed 2.7 that supports v21d, my present version is v21a.. got the wrong zip.. downloaded the other zip file 2.6.. and voila.. done.. thanks by the way bro

If you do "wipe data/factory reset", it wipes cache and dalvik-cache as well.
No need to do the other two wipes.

Does it? It's the first time I hear that. Most custom ROM developers in any phone I had, always recommend to wipe data/cache and some recommend to wipe dalvik as well.
Hi guys,
I've created this topic, because I have some questions, I'm new at android. I want to install a custom ROM(CyanogenMod 9.1) and want to make sure I'll do everything right. Here is the installation instructions:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore data using Titanium Backup! they might cause FC's
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!
Click to expand...

1. When I go to Recovery mode, it shows "Pico CMW-Based Recovery v5.0.2" and below it shows "Pico recovery by bbs.anzhi.com Ext(2, 3, 4) support by Yannou90". Am I running proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery? I get it from this rooting tutorial.
2. Saying "Flash CM9 zip from SDCard" it means "install CM9 zip from SDCard"(because in recovery mode there is "install zip from sdcard", nothing about flashing)?
3. How can I do "DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET"? Just simply choose "wipe data/factory reset" option from recovery mode?
4. After installing CM9 ROM, will it support overclocking? Or I'll have to install another kernel? If I'll have to, then which kernel should I install?
Thanks a lot. I know, very stupid questions, but please answer them .
1 From what I understand the recovery that you have installed derives from original cmw. Do not worry it will work fine
2 Yes, it means "install zip from sd card"
3 Go to wipe data/factory reset and confirm
4 Overclocking depends on the kernel you have installed, not the rom. Usually, the default cm kernel has overclocking (however, be sure to check this by going to settings in the rom)

Thanks. I knew that "Overclocking depends on the kernel you have installed", so kernel is in rom(isn't it?). Two more questions:
1. There was mentioned "- Don't restore data using Titanium Backup! they might cause FC's", so how can I do that anyway? Maybe use another application, so which should I use?
2. How can I backup my current ROM? So if I'll do something wrong, I'll just simply install stock ROM(which I was backuped).
All android roms have a kernel. It is a fundamental component for the operating system
1 Regarding the backup, there are two great programs: MyBackup ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wMiwiY29tLnJlcndhcmUuYW5kcm9pZC5NeUJhY2t1cCJd) and rom toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=it)
2 You can do a nandroid backup from recovery ("backup and restore")
Thanks. I need fast reply, which Gapps should I download from there? The one with version "CyanogenMod 9.0.x"? I don't know, because I'm going to install 9.1 version, but there isn't 9.1 version.
EDIT: found a topic, downloaded a CyanogenMod 9.0.x version...
Both cm9 and cm9.1 are based on the same system version (4.0.4) so the gapps for 9.0 will work fine on 9.1

Thanks, but I've found solution. I think the last question, I've successfully installed CM9 ROM and I want to overclock CPU. Using the original kernel, max clock speed is 600Mhz(I'm using setCPU), so it looks like default CM9 kernel doesn't support overclocking. There is two kernels, which support overclocking(first, second). So which one should I choose(I think Cranium Kernel will be better decision)? And how can I know what will be max clock speed on Cranium Kernel?
And does
High undervolting- 600 Mhz now runs @ the same voltage as 480 Mhz,480 Mhz-> 500 Mhz @same voltage, 320 Mhz->340 Mhz @same voltage --> Better performance with better battery!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
means, that if I'll make the clock speed lower, it won't save battery?
Thanks. I know, stupid questions...
The second one is for Gingerbread Sense Rom, you should install the first one

If you have problem with the kernel, reflash the rom and gapps without make wipe
Okay, I want to install this kernel, but I don't really understand the instructions(there is something about clean-update.zip, then something about zImage.7z, modules.7z and etc). Can someone post the instructions, that should I use(I mean like "1. do that thing 2. do another thing")? These instructions are very complicated .
Thanks.
EDIT: Cranium Kernel says "Based on Htc French(telefonica) sources-Will work on all roms", so it meant to all GB ROMS, nothing about ICS?

Those additional informations are for developers, ignore them. Normally install the kernel from recovery (after cleaning the cache and the Dalvik cache)
and restarts device. If you have problem just reflash rom

Thanks, so which file should I download(there are 5)? And what about the edited part("EDIT: Cranium Kernel says "Based on Htc French(telefonica) sources-Will work on all roms", so it meant to all GB ROMS, nothing about ICS?")?
I had a look at the kernel thread .. It does not seem stable, many users have had problems with reboots. I would recommend you not to install it, maybe wait for it to update
About the cranium kernel, it only works with Gingerbread

However, If you are looking for better performance, look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924745

Maybe I should try this kernel, but if something will be wrong, I'll restore previous(using method which you said)? You said, that I won't need to use wipe data/factory reset, so I won't loose any data, no risk(isn't it?). If you agree, say which file I should download.
You should download the file named "zImage.7z". Yes, the reinstallation of rom will overwrite the stock kernel of cm9
Hm, when I try to install zImage.7z, it's like "invisible", I've put that file in sdcard, but when I click "choose zip from sdcard" and browsing, I can't see it. Looks like it doesn't read that file. So what should I do?
By the way, did I understood your instructions correctly?
1. Wipe cache partition(didn't do it yet)
2. Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache(didn't do it yet)
3. Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> zImage.7z
Why did you try to do that read the instructions
Download the revised versioned build.prop
Rename it as build.prop
& Now follow the same instruction as you did for the last one
Download the build.prop
Open es file explorer>tab on favourites > "/">system
Den replace the build.prop (Yeah u need to overwrite )
REBOOT(IMPORTANT)
Done!

How is it related with the Yannou90 kernel? build.prop wasn't mentioned in the instructions.
I get messed up becose of a previous link in the thread sorry, here's the kernel http://www.mediafire.com/?6v87qg0xdamxttp . Sorry again
Oooops again, when flashing just mount /system and /data, only one was required but i forgot which one, anyway there are no issues if you mount both.
