Hi,
Can I install other kernel? If yes what kernel is the best fits my current rom? Thank you.

I do not know the nitty-gritty details of your device, so proceed with caution on your side...
As far as I know, you can use any kernel with any rom (unless the rom developer expressly mentions not to)...
As for the best kernel, there is nothing as best...its all trial and error...you will need to find the kernel+rom combination that suits your need...

Tiamat Rom 2.0 Manta Ray is great. For me, stock rom is boring. With Tiamat you get all the functions stock 3.2 still doesn't have.
If so could u help me to have Tiamat rom on mine? I think i have the stock rom rooted now.. .not sure tho cuz i dont know much about this stuff.. step by step guidance will be very helpful, thanks alot
You do need to know whether you are rooted and what rom you are currently running. This information will determine what method you use to flash the Tiamat rom.Have you tested to see if you have root? That will make things easier.
thanks okantomi for your advice, the guy who sold this xoom to me told me it's rooted. i even downloaded a few apk apps and they work fine. i am sure it's rooted but i don't know what type of rom its running. could you be able to tell what rom it's running by looking at the info? thanks..Here is info on my xoom

[Q] what can offer kernel 3 than the 2.xxx version

Hello,
All is in the question,
What kind of modification/tweaks/optimisation, the kernel version 3.xx.xx can offert than the 2.6.xxxx one ?
Thanks
PS: excuses my english
Everything that kernel 3.0 can do kernel 2.6 can be made to do (backported), it was just Linus decided it was time to stop the incremental updates 2.x.x and just move to 3.x already. Otherwise 3.x is just 2.7-ish..just the next step up from 2.6 that is.
thank you for your answer
bye

[Q] Can i update mu phone's (Spice MI 410) Kernel by SUT

I have a Baseband / 2.6.32 Kernel but i want to upgrade it to Baseband / 2.6.35 Kernel. because i want to install "IceColdSandwich by elol " Rom and it uses the newer kernel version. (My phone is Spice MI 410 Indian version )
So my question is can i update my Kernel?
If yes, then can i update it using SUT? (AS its the easiest and safe way, i had bricked my phone earlier without it!)
And if you are kind enough can you give me a link or advise to the file which can update it as i have no clue where to look except asking you guys
Thanks for keeping this wonderful site functional.

What you're looking for: SUTLR 1.8, and Andro-ID RC3 by TJ style
I've asked a noob question on Q&A before: showthread.php?t=1931491 (Sorry for clogging the Q&A with noob questions )
Andro-ID RC3 here showthread.php?t=1446449
Flashing Andro-ID through SUT is necessary because it implements a new baseband on which the .35 kernel can only work... And to flash a nb0 with .35 baseband you must use SUT 1.8 or above
If this helps then cheers And sorry i couldn't post direct links because i'm new to xda...

Installing Siyah kernel on jellybam 8.3.0?

Hey guys I'm just wondering if I get the latest siyah kernel on my phone if it would work. The jellybam stock kernel isn't the best battery life for my phone so would this kernel even help with this?

It is very important to read about the whatever it is you are about to flash and know more about your device. If you have read more into siyah you would know that it is an i9300 kernel which is the international S3 you have a i535 device which is the US S3. That kernel is optimized for the quad core processor that the i9300 has while all US versions of the Galaxy S 3 have a duo core processor. I am quite sure that wherever you got info on siyah mentioned what I just pointed out.
Thanks! That probably just saved my phone.... And it was just a thought because I asked my uncle what kernel he used and he said siyah so I didn't really even occur to me that not everything is universal... Do you know of any good kernels that would work on my device?
Well that depends on whether you have a Touchwiz or a AOSP rom. Pretty much all of them work like it suppose to. Since jellybam is an AOSP rom BMS works well.
Ok thanks... I didn't know whether jellybam was aosp or not and I didn't want to start blinding flashing kernels.. that cleared things up, thank you
