Razor's kernel is the Defuse kernel but yes, you can flash the different kernel over your current rom. But the Defuse kernel does appear to have a couple bugs in it so I wait wait a little bit.

thank you very much

if the android version is the same and they are for the same device it is very likely for the rom and kernel to be compatable. exceptions touch wiz roms need touch wiz kernels, aosp kernels need aosp roms, sense roms need sense kernels. there are some rare situations where a rom and kernel build need to match like some gingerbread versions for the i9000 dont work with kernels from certain other gb versions. but since we only have 2 firmware builds and they dont have a conflict between them you should be able to use any rom with any kernel unless the des did something wierd to get a feature working.

General quick question about ROM/KERNAL

I have ICS, and i was just wondering what would happen if i installed a gingerbread ROM? and just another question with kernals, if i download a kernal are some only for ICS and some only for GB?
thankyou.

Well you can flash Gingerbread rom and kernel and you will no longer have ICS. If you wanna go back to ICS just flash any ICS rom and Kernel you will be good.

There are usually dependencies between kernEL and non kernEL code - non kernEl code is referred to as "userspace"... Typically you can't just swap a kernel meant for one version of android with another, unless the manufacturer has done a great job of abstraction. Not so in the case of most phones.

thankyou both for your replies

Compatibly of Kernels and Clarification

Would a kernel designed for cm7(or 9) work on an AOSP or AOKP build of a Rom because somebody said that they are very similar. Also maybe sombody could clear up the differences between CM, AOSP, and AOKP. I know it is Android Open Source/Kang Project, but i am unsure what those actually mean.

Aokp is a cm9 base rom so any kernel that works with cm9 will work for aokp. Faux has beta kernels out and I believe morfic does as well. Make sure to click on cm9 kernel not cm7, cm7 kernels wont work with cm9

Until official ICS is released for the P990 or the Kernel for the SU660, the fastest ROMs are going to be GB ROMs.
Pre-ICS Release (Performance): GB > ICS > JB
Post-ICS Release (Performance): ICS/JB > GB

That really depends on the end user as well as your skill set.
If your good at tweaking settings and understand what these settings are and do, than a CM7 ROM like Hellfire Phenoix v2.3 or temasek CM7 nightly 135.1
Than you gotta pick your kernel, which comes down to user preference.
Most people prefer Morfics Trinity kernel with CM7, I myself prefer Faux's kernels.
Once again, this comes down to your skillset as you will want to play with settings for each kernel and compare them back to back with same setups for your daily use to than find which one suits you better. This also goes for ROMs as well, I've tested tons of ROMs with different mixes of kernels to find what best suits me, but what may suit me may cause problems for someone else.
The consensus is temasek's nightly CM7 Build 135.1 w/ Trinity Kernel.
If your not into all the "tweaking" stuff than just go with a ROM that's rooted stock, like BuROM v0.2 and a GB kernel, like Fauxs GB kernel. lol
Make sure you don't use stock GB kernels with CM7 ROMs and vice versa.
I can get you links if your having trouble finding stuff.

thanks, ill try one of the cm7 roms

About your question, i got running on my lg thrive, which is identical in hardware to the lg phoenix; gingersnap, gingerdx, gtr, cyanogen mod 7.2,, only that ones...
Currently joban's kernel is only supported in gingerbread, even in those roms is kind of unstable...
Now, we have a new kernel from the great developer DJnoXd, it supports Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jellybean... But if you are only interested in Gingerbread, tell me and i will pm you a better method to get roms

DJnoXd kernel will work on GB also. Arjen has a kernel that will work on GB too.
joban kernel is old base band... so any p500 rom that is obb will work.

can you give me the link to the rom and kernel your useing
Do I flash the rom then the kernel right after or do I flash the rom, boot up the phone then go back into recovery to flash the kernel

Just figured out djnoxd kernel no good for gb. Found in original development here on xda
Arjens is found at androidcentral under Phoenix / thrive thread
Sorry no links .. on phone.
Flash rom. Reboot recovery. Flash kernel. Recamend full boot. Then flash gapps. But can flash gapps after kernel

iirc I just read the new kernel runs on the p500/505/509, I don't know which one is the phoenix tho

i believe that to be the new 3.0 kernel

so no one could give me links
