[Q] Flashing kernels - General Questions and Answers

I have an HTC one s and I'm seeing in the HTC one x forum that they have a lot of custom kernels.. now would flashing one of those my device be a bad thing... ?

When you have a copy or backup of your current kernel, you can
experiment with other kernels without any problem.

(Q) Would flashing other DHD roms hurt?

I look at the DHD forums and see different roms that aren't in the inspire section. Now I'm running stock radio and currently running coredroid 3.1, would flashing a Rom like CM7 from DHD forums without issue? Or maybe even the villian (believe that is its name) without issue?

As far as I am aware, you cab flash anything that doesn't use a custom kernel, as dhd kernels kill sound on inspire. But there is a kernel for CWM7 floating here on inspire board

You can use most of the newer Desire HD kernels as the sound is enabled now because of HTC's updates. I made a kernel that overclocks CM7 to 1.8ghz if you wanna give it a go.
Yes indeed I will def use your kernel for CW7 THANKS . But I saw the Villain Rom over there,the incredible S port I believe. Would I flash the Rom but keep the lee or buzz kernel aside and flash on top of the Rom to assure audio and video configurations to still be in tact?

[Q] Sensation XE Stock ROM for Sensation?

Hey guys,
I have been locking for a stock ROM of the Sensation XE but all I found where custom ROMS based on the XE.
Are there any working stock Sensation XE ROMs? Couldn't find anything with the search function.
1. S-OFF
2. Super CID
3. Flash the XE RUU
You now have a 100% stock XE, albeit with 1.2GHz rather than 1.5GHz

Thanks.
The Sensation and the Sensation do have the same hardware except for the battery right?
Is it possible to clock the Sensation to 1,5GhZ?
Yep, but you need a custom kernel for it

Is there a ROM which is basically stock but has a custom kernel clocked to 1,5 GhZ?
Kind of turning the Sensation into a Sensation XE?
Yep, InsertCoin or Android Revolution HD (not the Sense 3.5 versions)
OR, my stock XE ROM + the recommended kernel

flash EddyOS stock xe Rom then just flash a different kernel over it. You cannot I don't think have pure stock and custom kernel.

Hi guys,
first of all: i am using currently Android Revolution HD 4.1.9 on my HTC Sensation.
but, i am tired of flashing custom roms and looking for the "best" rom.
Now, i guess i want backt to Stock Rom. With flashing Eddies Rom is it possible to receive OTA's in the future (because of coming ICS).
Thx for short reply...

Look the thing is, as soon as any hint of ICS ROM test or official gets leaked, I guarantee that within 2 days there will be custom ROM's so best stick to non stock for now.
To answer your question, no I don't think it possible to receive OTA updates on EddyOS

Ok MrAngry ;-) yes i know when ICS is released the wolves will come out of the cave and produce a custom rom

Yes, with a rooted phone you can install custom a Kernel or Rom.
Download and install ROMmanager. This will allow you to install Clockworkrecovery. Once that is installed you can download your choice of Kernel - I can personally recommend Bricked or Faux kernels - found elsewhere here on xda. Save the downloaded file to your sd card and select the Install ROM from SD card option in ROM manager.
NOTE: Before you install this, make a NAND backup - you will get prompted by Rom manager - this will allow you to restore back to your current position if you experience any problems or are unhappy with the update.
All this information is available in the forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1109

I have tried most of the custom roms posted here some of which are excellent but i always revert to stock rooted roms as all custom roms seem to have inherent bugs to a greater or lesser extent (as do stock roms i'm afraid but bugs are minimal).
I find stock roms much better than many people on this forum would have you believe but would always recommend rooting and having a custom recovery installed as this gives you options to sort out any problems that you may have and also you can install your own prefared customisations if you wish.
I would strongly recommend stock rooted 3.5 based on HTC Sensation 2.08.401.1 RUU which is provided by EddyOS.
I personally prefer custom roms. Although it is possible to find bugs, they are usually dealt with very quickly by the developers. I agree that you should definitely have recovery installed and if this is done then there is no reason why you can't try out a few roms. I don't think any one rom is best suited to a phone, it all depends on what you want out of your phone. If you don't like it you can always change it back, as long as you made a backup.
HTC Sensation LeeDroid V4.0.0
It's up to you really, I personally can't resist the temptation of Custom ROMs. I kept changing between them, on average flash once a week
You get a lot of different experience with each ROM because they are made by different people, therefore with different intentions and features, some will fit you whiles others won't. The whole point is to find the difference and find one that you likes best. After a few ROMs you will know what fits you, and which DEV you want to follow

HTC ville ruu vs HTC one s/x?

How come alot of the custom ROMs are switching from the HTC one s/x ruu s to the HTC ville ruu? What are the advantages of one over the other? HTC one S ruu seemed to work just fine

I suppose the One series based ROMs are more stable with lesser bugs.
But the Ville is based on the latest firmware thus making it the most up to date version.
The major problem that has come up in the new ROMs based on the ville RUU is the hardware acceleration issue.

[Q] 1.70 to 1.78?

Recently switched from HTC sensation to the one s and over their rooms contain 1.78 faux kernel. Its said to be from the HTC one s. My question is 1. Can I flash that kernal on my aopk rom? And 2. Would that possibly brick my device?
From what I understand the rom developers is that its very difficult to make the switch from 1.70 to 1.78.
Thanks again for all your hard work!!
