Hello, i currently have installed the CM10 with the old kernel version.
Reading much of the new posts in the development zone, i see that to get a new ROM i have to update the kernel.
I'm thinking about updating to the Carbon rom, but i notice that i need the new kernel so i can update to this ROM.
My question is this, going from the CM10 with S-ON and the OLD Kernel, what do i need to do to go to the new ROM with the new 3.4 kernel? (In the threads i always see the need to have S-OFF, and i think i'm not interested in going that way)
Will this move prevent me to return to the CM10 backup that i made with the TWRP recovery?
And a final question, what are the bugs that i will notice from moving to the new kernel?
Thanks in advance.
You will be able to go back to a back up. S-off is much better as you can flash at any given time without the need to flash boot.IMG. that'd what makes it better to get the 3.4 kernel you need to have a hboot of 1.13.00.00 or higher. Some are lucky and can have low hboots and flash it while many others( most everybody) can not do this.

Can't find anything like this. Want to use a stock rom until CM7 gets its crap together.
U dont have a back up of your stock rom ? Take them from this time onwards. Its situations like these when u required them
What's wrong with CM7? Seems better than stock to me atm.

I'm surprised they're at RC status on CM based on some of the various bug reports and missing features I keep seeing pop up here and in the general section. The short answer to your question is that it's not-quite-ready-for-prime-time in some people's experience.
I'll turn your question around: what's wrong with stock? Gingerbread/NS is first Android combo I've not felt the desire to use a non-stock rom on yet even after two months.
To the original poster, I'll second what @suhas_sm said, you don't have a nandroid of your stock/rooted system? That should always be the first thing you do after rooting any phone, and the first step in flashing any new rom, ESPECIALLY a new rom that is in alpha/beta status (like CM7).
If you don't have your own nandroid, the development section does have nandroid images of a stock rom you can restore over your phone via clockwork recovery.
I have the stock back up but won't I lose root after I reboot?
I LOOOVE CM roms but CM7 is too buggy for me. Can't wait to use it when it's stable.
I will say I love my stock ROM with the Netarchy Kernal @ 1.2Ghz it is blazing fast. This is the first android phone I have had and damn its great. I don't think i need to go doing new ROMs other than the whole theme option sounds great.
I want to upgrade to this ROM MIUI v4 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458382
I currently have the Cyanogenmod 7.1 nightly (the newest nightly they built)
Kernel - 2.6.35.14-g7d4fbb1
Do I have to upgrade that before i flash to that ROM?
Im a noob sorry.
no just make sure that you do a backup and in clockwork mod do a complete wipe data cache and davelik and you can flash whatever rom you want
No i dont think

Shoot before anyone answered I flashed to xxkp8 ...... I have CM9 release Jan 12 2012......
I am having serious issues with connecting to my computer with the USB..... nothing seems stable to me. I also tried the MIUI v4 2.2 and had the same issues..
Can anyone recommend the best a fix , do I need to flash a new kernel? Then a new ROM....or can I just flash a new ROM like go back to CM7.1 or something?
If you don't feel stable enough on the ROM you have installed now, and you're still able to flash to another ROM, just flash back to something you feel comfortable on. A lot of the ICS builds are alphas and unstable.
Make sure you read does/does not work list for each rom and take a second to look at what other users are saying about it. And, of course, make sure it's intended for your specific device. =)
Can I flash a new ROM (ICS) to my phone that has already got ICS (that's not the question) with an other kernel (Semaphore).
Do I have to change back the kernel?
Thanx for your Quick Answer.
So you want to flash a new ICS ROM over an existing ICS ROM ?
Did you mean that the current ROM has a different kernel?
Either way, flashing the new ROM will replace the old kernel and most likely work fine if the ROM is intended for your device.
What could cause problems is flashing the new ROM, then replacing the new kernel with the previous one.
Some ROMs use specific kernel features and if the used kernel doesn't suppor them it might cause problem.
If it doesn't work you should be able to flash back the previous ROM without a problem.

maybe i'm wrong but when you flash the new rom in some cases you can chose your new kernel and the installer will finish all for you.

Yes some offer that, but the op didn't which ROMs we are talking about, so i left that out.
ahh ok yeah thats right some of them must be installed over the recovery and don't have a skinned installer like aroma

Just flash away. It will install the kernel for you. If you want to add Elemental, I'd suggest using flash gui app. It's never failed me. Also, make sure you download the ElementalX1.5. I had issues with tweaks force closing on anything less than. 1.5.
If you want to ensure Viper installs correctly, get the flash gui app and follow the wizard. Then point the app to the viper zip, then flash it. Manually go into recovery (twrp) and wipe everything, including system and do a factory reset all inside twrp.
Follow the install instruction and your going to then love you're phone even more

I'm currently on a pre 3.4 kernel ROM, and I am going to be upgrading to the latest cm nightlies. I think I have a good grasp on the steps that I need to take. but I am just unsure of a couple things..
-after Im done with s-off and the 3.18 ruu, do I have to reroot by reinstalling twrp, then reflash a rooted rom?
-Do I have to upgrade/downgrade my touchscreen panel after the transition proccess? or is that only necessary if I want to use a twrp version 2.3.3.1+? and if so, am I missing anything by staying on twrp 2.3.3.0 which has worked for me for the longest time?
-is the transition to 3.4 really worth it? are the screen tearing and lag, that plagued pre 3.4 roms fixed or improved? that's my main reason of upgrading other than the obvious one which is being on the latest and greatest..
I would really appreciate any feedback on this matter. I have been procrastinating on transitioning because I just don't know if It is really necessary. my phone is working just fine, albeit with the lag and some tearing. Thanks guys!

After RUU you just need to flash TWRP again, I recommend using version 2.6. You can find it here. It has a much better wipe interface, plus you won't need to downgrade ts firmware. Then just flash a rooted ROM.
You don't need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware, unless you want to use older 3.0 kernel ROMs, and the first generation of 3.4 kernel ROMs.
I believe it's worth it for a few reasons. There is no screen tearing on the newer ROMs, there is an increased amount of ram available, plus some have reported an increase in performance and general smoothness since running the RUU.

thank you for the response. when you stated that I need to downgrade my touch panel to use older roms, I'm quite not sure what are the first Gen 3.4 roms. how do I know if it's a 1st gen 3.4 rom or otherwise? I am intending to use cm 10.1 3.4 builds.

It will say so in the ROM op

You should be fine as long as you don't flash any nightlies from more than about two weeks ago I think. You'd be better off flashing the latest anyway I guess.
Or even better, the new cm10.2 (android 4.3) should be up and running properly soon. At the moment I think the only bugs are SMS/MMS and camera not working but they should be sorted pretty quickly I'd think. Plus that'll include the new cm Focal camera which looks pretty neat.

...and bluetooth, which is really the dealbreaker for me, and why I haven't jumped on it yet. Either way though, you'll want to run through the upgrade process. It's only a little bit painful, and it'll "futureproof" your device for whatever else is new that comes down the line in the future.
just an update, I now have s-off. my next step is to ruu. I'm just wondering, can I restore the rom that I am currently on (liquidsmooth) through twrp, in which case I have to downgrade my touchscreen panel (cause its a pre 3.4 rom) after ruu? or do I wait to ruu after the 3.4 cm nightly builds gets more polished?

It depends what you want.
If you want to restore your backup, you'll need to flash TWRP, and downgrade your ts firmware.
Or you can flash TWRP, leave the ts firmware the way it is, and download one of the latest 3.4 nightlies.

I was under the impression that as long as I use twrp 2.3 3.0 or 2.6 that I don't have to alter my tp? just an inquiry, should I go ahead and go to the 3.4 builds, or stay on my current rom? Is the new cm builds on par if not better than pre 3.4 roms albeit both has their own bugs?
Sent from my sexy One XL
Use TWRP 2.6, it's great and has no bugs, and you won't need to alert your ts firmware. People are still reporting a few bugs on 3.4 but I've run some of the 3.4 Carbon builds and they were solid.
Sent from my Evita
nvm. I think I got it now. I think I can't use ANY 3.0 aosp roms w/o downgrading tp period.. correct? so either I stay with my current rom and downgrafe my tp, or just flash the 3.4 roms. hmm.. I'm just trying to avoid messing around with the tp if I can help it.. idk.. just lazy I guess. I think I'm just going to take the plunge and go to new cm, and go from there if I don't like it... thank you so much sir..

i just finished the ruu process. I'm currently on the stock rom w/root thanks to twrp 2.6! I can't believe how I can get root access now from recovery.. I think I'll stick with stock rom for the meantime.. Im amazed at how my phone is running like new. I missed sense for a bit. I've been on aosp since cm 10.1 nightlies initially came out the first time.. man that was awhile there.... thank you all so much for helping me out! it's great to be back in the loop of things once again here in the community! cheers!
