I am wanting to flash custom kernel on WiFi Xoom. Am currently running newest cm 10.1 nightly jb 4.2.1 on my Xoom. Anyone know of any kernels that are compatible with this ROM? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Normally the kernel is already with the flashable zip you installed, if I were you I wouldn't risk flashing another kernel other than the one which came with your ROM, but you can try downloading any other ROM, extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot, but I wouldn't try anyway...

Thanks for the info XxLordxX. I will follow your advice and not worry about it. Again, thanks!
I don't suppose anyone would know of a custom kernel I could flash on my Stingray (VZW 4G LTE) I'm running Stock Rooted ICS 4.0.4.Thus far it seems to be the most stable ROM I've tried. All the ROMS I've tried are very laggy and slow. My only reason for wanting to flash a custom kernel is only for more stability and maybe overclocking.
I've searched just about every thread on here with no real results. The kernel threads are only leading to dl sites that no longer have the zip files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.

Hello everyone
I am new to the Android world and loving it! I've been wanting to get a Android phone for some time, and took the plunge last week and purchased a Nexus S through Rogers in Canada - Model I9020A Build GR154.
This phone is amazing stock, but naturally I want to experiment with custom ROM's and get all the functionality and performance tweaks I can.
I apologize for the newb questions, but if someone could enlighten me on what they think some of the best custom roms compatible with my device are, and their personal experience with said roms. My main "wants" in a rom are. Sound improvements (voodoo), video chat on gtalk, greater battery longevity. CM7, Amethyst Nexus 2.2, and Infinity 1.1.0 all interest me. Anyone on GR154 using any of these roms? I'm not clear if any of said roms will work properly on my device.
Again I apologize for the newb questions, any help, advice, recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same NS (I9020a on Rogers). Any of these should work:

The above post is pretty comprehensive and is updated frequently. If you plan on doing alot of flashing, it's a good one to keep bookmarked. I've tested most of them and I haven't had any problems yet.
Happy flashing!
Excellent. Thank you very much!

I'm running 2.3.3 (CM 7.0.3) with netarchy kernel and stock modem (KB2) on my I9020A and it's been great!
Since there isn't much info on I9020As I didn't have the balls to try 2.3.4 or KB3 or the modem after that.
Does anybody know if 2.3.4 roms are working on I9020As? I thought they didn't work but the post above implies otherwise...
And the new modems? Do they run ok with 850mhz?
Cheers!

The new modem that comes with 2.3.4 causes the infamous search button behaviour. Other than that the 2.3.4 flash is pretty stable on the 9020a
Equally new to all of this, with the exact same phone and build.
Where would I find a root and flash tutorial thats up to date and easy as hell? Lol

The tutorial I found the most straightforward and helpful was created by theunlockr.com here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/
The only thing to note is that you can ignore section "VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image". Once you flash Clockworkmod Recovery it stays on the I9020a. The "install-recovery.sh" file does not exist on the I9020a. As far as I know this is unique to the I9020a, but I could be wrong.
I am far from an expert, but I hope this helps!

Agreed. I have been running stock rooted 2.3.4 since it became available and I haven't experienced any issues at all, even Google Talk Video has been working flawlessly over wifi (haven't tried GTalk on 3G yet).
I haven't experienced any unusual search button behaviour either, but I hardly use it.
ok, so I picked up the Cappy tonight, did alot of reading,
PLEASE NOTE, I have a Rogers Galaxy S Captivate SGH-I896, On Froyo 2.2
I successfully rooted the device with superoneclick,
downloaded Rom Manager, Flashed Clockwork recovery for Galaxy S Captivate
Reboot to recovery, select re-install packages, FAILED Signature...and aborts,
What am I doing wrong here?
Is there a better method? Every guide I read said to do it with rom manager...do I need to flash the stock rogers GB with bootloaders? then retry clockwork again?

soooooo.....
you didnt actually SEARCH for the ACTUAL ERROR MESSAGE that you got?

Thanks thats exactly what i needed, i now have cm7 loaded up.
one question tho, while cm7 would install fine i initially tried to flash the ICS port by teamhacksung and it resulted in a bootloop, is there some step im missing? are someupdates only installable from internal sdcard?
You must be on a mtd based rom, which cm7 is, (touch wiz roms are bml based) before flashing to ics. U should be able to flash ics with no problem now.

Enjoy, it's quite different
Well, ics successfully flashed this time.
Only difference from my last attempt was I flashed a cm7 nightly instead of stable, also once on cm7 I flashed a newer radio as well as the glitch kernel. Dunno what had affected it before but its now running nicely on ics build 9.
Thanks for the help guys, I guess where I got hung up is where cwm resides in the kernel on this device? Where on all my htc's we simply flash cwm over the stock recovery. Anyways thanks again!

The glitch kernel is not compatible with ics, as of yet. It was over written when u flashed ics I'm pretty sure.
Well being completly new to this device was a lot of learning, I still have no idea what I did wrong initially to get stuck in bootloops, but I somehow managed to get cm7 working and then up onto ics so all is well as far as I can see now. Its a backup device for us so I'm pretty sure I will only be flashing ics as it matures. Must say the ics on the cappy is pretty far ahead in terms of usability compared to the desire z, great work here from your devs! And thanks for the pointers guys!

Hello everybody!
My name is James and i am from Singapore, first time posting here on the forums. I have done my due searching for solutions to my query but alas need some direct answers from my sempais over here at XDA.
I have rooted my DS by following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497604 and got my enlightenment from the splendid mini-guide posted by user "foX2delta"
Now I am on CyanogenMod RC 7.2 and lovin' every moment spent with it. But i have an urging to flash the tiamat kernel over to see if I can get anymore battery life and performance out of the setup. But the problem is this: I have unlocked via HTCdev and rooted via SU. I do not know where to find the Boot.img required for me to flash tiamat onto my DS. Please advise!
Many Thanks,
James.
Edit: Installed Reaper kernel v.1.3 with boot.img included in the zip folder. Thanks rd74!
Don't use Tiamat 1.1.5 kernel with CM7.2 - it's outdated and no longer supported. It won't work as you expect. Try Reaper kernel v.1.3 from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322000
You can flash it through CWM or Ext4 Recovery.
What do you mean by "it's outdated and no longer supported"? Nevertheless, I want to have a try. How did you flash this kernel on previous CM ROM? I can't find the boot.img file as well. Please at least tell me something about that.
I posted the instructions to get the boot.img from Tiamat kernel some time ago. Please look it up, most likely in Q&A.

Recovery has to be flashed first.
then flash the tiamat kernel without wiping.
then enjoy your OverClock Kernel. Smoothy & Faster.

I installed the JB ROM JellyTime Beta 7 fine. When I installed JellyTime Beta 8, it hung on the Jellybean boot screen. The OP of the JellyTime thread told someone else with the same problem to update their ADSP firmware for new kernels. I searched and searched, but I couldn't find a reference to how do do that or what it even really was. Could anyone help point me in the right direction?

Have you guys tried the latest releases? When full wiping include format all partitions except sd card.

What latest releases are you referring to? Could you please be more specific?
EDIT: I did a full wipe and reformat of everything, including system, data, and cache.
Right now they are on beta 10. Funny thing, I don't recall anyone mentioning a need to do a adsp firmware update. I don't even know what it is.

I upgraded my radio and ril and it still would not work. I then flashed a stock htc ROM that had sense 3 and then it would take beta 10.

That is the one. But if you don't do a full wipe before you do beta 10 it will have errors. It would still boot but have lots of errors.

It worked for me as well.
along the same discussion I'd like to ask another question about the new 3.0 kernel.
I'm a weekly ROM changer and usually run IceColdSandwich. Once I switch back to ICS and want to reflash JT to check out the latest improvements/updates, do I have to re-flash the GizRoot_v_2 with the 3.0 kernel then flash JellyTime? Would it work If I did a backup of JellyTime and tried to restore it when a new update comes out or does it become non flashable once I've returned to the older ICS kernel?
In other words, can I flash between ICS and JT without having to go through all the steps to reload the 3.0 kernel?
Thanks in advance to a great community!

Nope. You only need to flash the stock once; after that, flash back and forth to your heart's content.

IceColdSandwich runs on a 2.6.5 kernel, and will not work with a 3.0 kernel. Jellytime runs on a 3.0 kernel and will not work with a 2.6.5 kernel. Both of those ROMS have their respective kernels included. You only have to flash the ROM. I'd also recommend a full wipe before each flash as well.

usspatriot is actually referring to a separate question. Some of us need to update our firmware to run JB, which can only be done by flashing the latest stock before flashing JB. He wanted to know if the updated firmware would be overwritten by flashing ICS, requiring a reflash of stock before reflashing JB. The ICS and JB kernels are not at issue.
I wonder if this has anything to do with my issue with JB on a Desire HD:
I came from SmartDroid_Reloaded_wwe_1.5.2, did a full wipe, installed, everything works fine for me except for cellular data.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with JB not liking my phone? I've also tried a couple of ICS roms.. See below:
SmartDroid_Reloaded_wwe_1.5.2 = cell data works
Sabsa_Prime_v5.0 = cell data works
TrickDroid_v1.1.1 = cell data works
cm-cfX-20120925-OFFICIAL-ace = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R10 = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R10.1 = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R11 = no cell data
i set my APN's to suit my network (crazy johns in australia) but nothing works..
If i connect to wifi, both the wifi signal and cell signal turn blue, if i disconnect from wifi, both turn grey.
MMS, SMS, Phone calls work fine..

Hi
I've been searching the net for a custom ICS or JB rom for my Rogers Infuse but I couldn't find anything. All what I've found are roms installed using CWM not Odin and from what I've understood I can't install CWM. Is it possible to have your help guys to find this ROM?
Thanks.
Ics and jb roms also work with rogers infuse.
You should be able to install cwm on your phone, probably by flashing a custom kernel.
I'll see if I can find anything and also encourage you to search around about that.

the roms will include kernels, don't mix kernels. the aosp dev scene changes by the week (sometimes day) on the infuse as we try to catch up to the galaxy s' level(they had a lot of headway and a ton more highly experienced developers). so a kernel for a rom today might only partially work with a rom from two weeks ago..
only change the kernel if the rom developer has an alternative kernel such as oc/uv or something....
