[Resolved] Can someone school me on Kernals, and the benefits of importing non stock kernals.

Currently rocking a Vibrant with AOSPish 2.2 Froyo ROM made by Anderoid/Leaked_Dave. I've noticed talk about installing kernals XY and Z. I don't want to be attacked by the guys who seem to get offended when you ask a question. So I turn to you guys, here in the general section.

The kernel is the computing layer that connects the phone's hardware and software/applications. It will handle all of the input and output. This is different from the shell, which handles user commands. Aftermarket kernels are usually tweaked to run more optimally than the factory one. For example, the Voodoo5 kernel on my samsung showcase improved the I/O implementation on my device. It bumped my overall quadrant score from 800 to 1,800.
I hope this helps! It's sort of a generalization. Cheers mate!

Yes sir! You flash it using clockworkmod upon startup. The process will depend on the particular phone you have and if you have CWMrecovery installed.

Man, I really want to learn how to port roms, AND compile from source, but I don't even know where to start! By the time I finished learning it, this phone would be so old I'd be the only one left on it! lol. But seriously, if a 13 year old can learn how to port and code, I should be able to. I learn blazingly fast. Where do I start learning this stuff? I would love to make a rom from scratch!

How big is your HD? Its easy to dual boot to ubuntu. I think all you would need is about 35 gigs of space. Once builds are done you can move them to windows partition.

There is a installer for ubuntu that will do it from windows. Just google unbuntu.
It will install the newest version and after some updating you will be set. Google is your friend on understanding stuff. Most questions have been asked and answered. It might take a while to find the answer but keep looking. Im currently using ubuntu as my daily because my graphics card was updated in windows and after 8 hours I have to reboot or deal with a blue screen of throw my computer across the room because I was in the middle of something.
Once you learn some tricks ubuntu is as easy to use as windows for the novice person. In time you will not want to go back to windows unless you need it for a game that isnt supported on wine in ubuntu.

Windows isn't even an option. It is not a POSIX-compliant system. Even using Cygwin or MSYS, Android cannot and will never be able to be compiled on Windows.
Also, Ubuntu is Linux.

I dual boot windows and ubuntu. Learned a lot about Linux. On ubuntu you have more control over your system and what you want to do with it on Linux. windows kind of does stuff for you which is a pain sometimes.(imo) I'm still using windows now only because of my job, oh and some games a play. everything else is Linux!

First, I have to figure out how to get this nasty virus off my computer, that I just got today. It's a damn nasty one. I can't find anything that helps, and it keeps redirecting my searches... AVG says services.exe is a trojan... but it's whitelisted as a major component of the OS, so I can't delete it... it's corrupted. and I don't have a backup of it to restore... Every little bit I can get from searches I get to work, makes it seem hopeless, or beyond my technical capabilities to fix.

Android Visual Development

Hi All,
Is there any way to develop ROMs using software like VISUAL STUDIO/
Thanks!

I'm asking because I am not so good in Coding

Did you try the currently available tools? I feel that open source tools for development in Linux or cygwin are usually only text based.

Can you please provide me the link which you are talking about?
Thanks!

I am still waiting for someone to help me out ....

you can google for "UOT Kitchen". I haven't tried, but I heard you can make your own ROM online using the tool.
if you want to build from scratch, you need to know a lot about programming. and I don't think there is an integrated visual tools for that.

[Q] iOS on Android?

Guys I was wondering if there is a chance to install iOS ROM on Android device I found something but I haven't tested it yet and is there any good released version of this?

I hope you're kidding. iOS is closed source. It would be impossible as well as illegal to install it onto one of our devices.
