No custom kernel on stock? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have never used a stock rom unless I bought a new phone and was working on installing a custom one, so I'm new to stock roms. I have the stock JB rom and I tried to flash air kernel to my device. As I was booting up, it wouldn't go past the Google splash screen. Are custom kernels not supported on stock roms?
Sent from my A500

I've flashed custom kernels on rooted stock plenty of times. It may just be that Air Kernel is having issues with some phones. I know SimpleKernel works, but it's basically stock with BLN and Voodoo. A few people on JellyBelly ROM had issues with Air Kernel too, so it's not just stock that's having issues with it.

OK. Do you know if matr1x kernel works or not?

CM9 5.0 Kernel link

Does anyone a link for it? And if you do, it's compatible with any rom, not just CM9 right?

Bahahahahaha. Hilarious! Seriously though, I think he didn't mean Android 5.0, maybe 5.0 is the kernel build number? I don't know for sure but maybe that's what he meant. Either way this made me laugh my ass off.
OP, a simple search would wield results much quicker than posting a new thread. Good luck.

The cm9 thread says v 4.0.4 v5.0 so that's why I had it. The one on I could find was the one on BMs 4.0.4 stock ICS thread but its not the newest kernel.

download the rom then pull out the boot.img. you can flash it via fastboot or the terminal emulator. i dont know how compatible itll be with other non-cm based roms. if it doesnt boot, just reflash your rom.

[Q] Kernel Question

Just flashed the matrix kernel and was needing to go back to the stock cm9 v.4 kernel that was built into the ROM itself. Anyone know if that's possible and if so how? Thanks.
Reflashing the ROM might do it.

not true. ive been using cm since a week since cm first came to android with cm3, on many different phones, cm works great with other kernels. since cm7 and cm9, on the nexus s, ive never used cm stock kernel, always used a custom kernel(trinity).
If you don't want to flash all rom, you can flash only cm9 v4 kernel. I am not able to post the link (less 8 message..)
Go to cm9 thread they have posted kernel separately if you still can't find it let me know

[Q] G2x Rom??

Hello, I would like to know what custom rom would be best for the LG G2x. I am currently using Hellfire Sandwich 1.9. I want to know what you guys/gals think is a really good stable/smooth rom for the G2x.
thanks
I run cm7. Seems to have the least bugs/problems. I just like to use all the cool things my device has in it.

sorry to bother again lol, but im kinda a newbie at this, do you have a link for the kernels? and also do i install the kernel after the cm7 rom?
I personally run the cm10 nightly build 4 since it finally stable but for ICS I would suggest paranoid android ICS. If u r looking for gingerbread, might I suggest MIUI for 2.3.7, it runs smoothly with no bugs (well for me). Hope that helped

Yeah, you install the kernel after the cm7 rom. What I did was install cm7 and gapps (The Google Play store and all google apps) first and booted to make sure that everything was working. Then I turned off my phone, booted back into Clockworkmod (By holding down volume down and power button) and flashing the kernel zip.
here's the link to trinity kernel:http://goo.gl/XqDn2
And personally, I would stick to Gingerbread for the time being, ICS and CM10 are still pretty buggy. Once the official ICS comes out, we will be getting a stable CM10 build, but until then I would stick to gingergread.
Here's some info I posted in another thread:

I first used this to gain root access:http://www.unlockroot.com/index.html . It's a simple one-click process.
Then I followed this guide from step 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715. I personally used CyanogenMod 7.2 http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2856/cm-7.2.0-p999.zip .
Optionally, you can also flash a kernel: Trinity ELP(http://goo.gl/XqDn2) and Faux52 LG (http://faux.androidro.ms/P999-CM-Kernel-052-sv-lg-stable.zip)seem to be the most popular... Instructions to flash the Kernel:
If one of the kernels gives you issues, try flashing the other one.
I'm pretty noobish to this as well, considering i only flashed my phone a couple days ago, but I used this procedure and it didn't give me any problems at all.

Nope, you have to install gapps seperately. It's because of google licensing issues. I'm pretty sure most ROMS are that way.

Before jumping right to Trinity and telling others to do the same, did you bother trying an older release? I used build 48 & 50 for a long time myself.

I didn't because I had already installed trinity at that point, and it is working fine for me so I see no need to install an older faux kernel at this point.

You can install a kernel whenever you want, just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache each time, you don't have to start from scratch. Good for testing issues and just for generally testing new kernels.

Sick of Lag

Ok so I've had it with my phone lagging, I'm running aosp 4.1 JR00L. Is 4.2 any better?
I've been only hearing good things about rasbean and trinity kernal, so can somebody please link me to it because I can't find it in the developer section.
If I don't like rasbean then can I just download cm from their website and flash cm7/cm9 (I don't have to flash any other stuff like gaps, or a new kernal do I?)
I appreciate the help.
here is the link of rasbeanjelly
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=crespo
if you flash cm7 or cm9 you'll have to flash gapps.
How do you flash your roms? And what kernel do you use? Try running bedalus kernel as it has bigmem. This can reduce lag as well.
And you'll definitely like rasbeanjelly with trinity kernel.
Rom: see above link
Trinity Kernel: www.derkernel.com
Bedalus kernel: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AntDDKv-lS6IdEt6NWVkX01vNmpfbEh4MHo4eDRCbXc (choose 6.2 for any rom)

@chappy824 I've tried matr1x numerous times, but things get choppy, my phone seams to not like it.
Anyway, I gave aosp strawberry a run and it was ok but now I have slim a run and it has been very very smooth, I mean 0 lag.

So does the incorporated one. It is just totally functional yet. It will not just reboot and install. You have to download the update and flash like usual.

Lightest Rom?

Hi.
My Nexus S is kinda slow now and it cam be embarrassing sometimes.
I only use my phone for Google music, Tunein radio, podcasts, email and basic internet.
I was looking the other day to see what was eating my memory up and I noticed things that I don't use any more like twitter apps and stuff that I will never use like Google play books and play movies.
I am rooted and using a tweaked kernel, but I'm still using stock ROM. I think this weekend that will change.
I'm not interested in overclocking, just a little bit more quickness and stability.
Can anyone recommend a good kernel and ROM combo.
Kernel must have voodoo sound.
Cheers.

If you want blazing fast rom try Metal Dragon Overlord, only drawback it's 4.1.2, if you want 4.2.2. rom try Hellybean or CM10.1 nightlies.
Pretty much every kernel's got voodoo sound so that's nothing to worry about.
Rom&kernel combo? - Metal Dragon Overlord, matr1x kernel.
Hi,
Initially I was looking forward to a 4.2.2. ROM but I have read comments about lag after a week or so of using those ROM's. So I may just stick with a 4.1.2. ROM.
Looking for something that I can flash and forgot, something very mature that I can keep on my phone for the next year without thinking about it or getting reboots. Don't want to be flashing a new version every day.
Cheers.

This is the closest, or one of the closest, to a stock 4.2.2 ROM you can get and it's light, no bloatware. Also if you're using a 4.2.2 ROM, you these mods as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
It really increases your performance and doesn't affect battery.
