Cannot Install Custom Kernel

This is a strange problem that I only started to have once I installed Team Nekkid 7.2 RC dated 3/29.
I can flash the ROM no problem, wipe dalvik and fix permissions and I'm good to go without any issues. But if I flash the ROM, then either morfic or faux kernel, then gapps, when I go to wipe dalvik, all I get is a quick screen flash with no option to actually wipe dalvik.
I go back and wipe the overall cache completely, fix permissions, the reboot. I am now stuck at the morfic boot animation until i pull battery.
If i try to install a Faux kernel, same thing happens with dalvik, but gets stuck at the blue LG screen.
Once i battery pull and get back to CWM, i wipe everything, reflash ROM and gapps, wipe dalvik and fix permissions no problem and boot up into whatever ROM i choose.
EDIT: Went back and flashed Bionix 1.4.1 and was able to flash a Faux kernel and wipe dalvik. Booting up this ROM now.
I also have NO problem with ICS ROMS/kernels.

When you say NO PROBLEMS with ICS ROMs, does that include Google Maps and the stock browser working perfectly??
Which ICS ROMs have you tried? How is battery life?
Thanks!

Flash kernel last, and redownload the kernels!

I did all of that. I flashed the kernel before and after gapps but end up with the same result.
I have a feeling there is an issue with the CWM since I am constantly flashing roms/kernels and have never had these problems before. I'm at work so I cant use the Nvidia tool to flash CWM so I have to wait until I get home.

I usually just follow the instructions precisely by the OP. (Wiping/formatting, flashing rom, gapps, restart + let 10 min stand if required by OP) I have not installed another kernel that what the ROM has included. Should I try that? If yes, which one? I currently have EGB AOSP ICS 4.0.4
[UPDATE] Ok I got it now. Just read your last message

Short answer: yes, install a different ROM
Long answer: go to the developing section of the G2X forums and find out the info with the countless threads.

I've tried 3 different ICS roms and read hundreds of posts and found nothing that would fix the maps and browser issues. I guess I have to wait a bit more for the devs to work on them. Maybe the lack of drivers is the problem.

Look for Owain's Unnoficial Build 55 thread, and use Firefox browser, that is the most complete ICS ROM and Firefox doesnt have the rotation problem.

I was just downloading that ROM
Thanks!
My main concern is Google Maps not working properly. I rely on it in my job a lot and can't have it blanking out on me like that.
I've tried the replacement solution for the stock browser - I installed Dolphin HD. I'll try Firefox, though. Haven't used that on a phone since I had the Nokia N900 - Ah, the good times when I still believed in Nokia
Thanks for your help!

If the maps shows up and then goes blank, simply close the map and re-open it.

I know the close/reopen "trick," but I thought there might be a ROM that just has the Gmaps working. If there's none I'll just wait. Is Owain's unofficial 55 based on 4.0.4 ? I'm also going through his thread now in hopes of finding it. I'll probably just flash and see then.

All the important information will be in the first post of his thread. he doesn't include a change log, though.

JellyBean - JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g - Beta 10 wifi problem

So after installing this amazing rom and loving it for a week or two; I see a kernel update and install it. Everything went smooth but I lost my wifi after the fact. I was hoping someone could help me keep the kernel and get the wifi going. nothing about wifi problems were stated and it work fine previously. I wiped everything and even tried the wifi fix manager thingy i got with the ics rom i was running previously to see if that would do it but to no avail. I wanted to ask the developer but need some 10 post so help a bro out!
p.s....gotta give props to the man who had me running jb before anyone of my friends with newer phones!!! RANDOMBLAME!!!!

ditto, this happend with my Paranoidandroid install as well. kernel allowed me to stay running without crash, but wifi is a pretty big letdown...
unfortunatly, without the kernel itself being fixed, or the wifi module fixed, we are stuck looking for another alternate kernel... oh yeah, we are pretty limited.

thanks
appreciate the quick reply man. And I'll be keeping my eye out then

found out a very possible reason . are you using his kernel with another system or is this all jt only? he mentioned something about kangbang changing drivers.

So I'm only using it with jelly time or jb. I'm flashing the os then the kernel cuz the os installs its own. This is an updated kernel for the os.I'm thinking i should maybe wipe the cache partition after the the os then do the kernel but at the same time I would think that other problems would be happening if that was the issue. What do you think?

does the system function without the kernel update?
if it does, you might want to hold off on updating til the ROM updates for it.

Only & only Kexec based ROM's can be installed directly on JB official (unofficial leak by wangghost) rest all ROM's are for ICS. I too would like to be clarified regarding the black screen kexec issue has been sorted across all kexec roms??

as long as your rooted, yes. install BMM, follow instructions in its thread, and flash ROM.
Black screen issue should be fixed without needing JBX.

porraxenieze, afaik a prerequisite of JBX is to be first on a kexec kernel. I u/s what 'MotoMudder' is saying but I am unsure how jbx plays in a multiboot environment, I mean if for ex if someone has stock unoffficial (official) JB leak on sys 1 and on sys 3 if one installs 4.3 kexec PA or say kexec 4.3 Slimbean & then flashes jbx, what happens??

What I mean to say is in the JBX OP, it mentions before flashing JBX, phone needs to have a kexec ROM installed beforehand & only then jbx can be flashed.

im not sure if I understand, i mean, the only thing I ever did to my phone is update to the JB leak via rsdlite, and now I only want to flash the paranoid android rom, the JBX kernel I do not want it, but now I dont understand if it is required or not to use the rom and prevent the black screen kexec issue

I would partition. JB ROM's are far from stable, and never will be without kernel source. Always nice to have a stable Daily driver on your phone to fall back on.

mmm okay i guess, i will see it then, when i do the partition the systems 3 - 6 can only be 1gb max right? that means you only have that much to install on the internal memory? seems low..

Which 5.1 custom ROM is best

Hi folks
I am using ressurection remix v5.4 android 5.1 based custom ROM on my N5 for a couple of days and facing some bugs which are
1. When I change app drawer animation sometimes app icons don't show on the whole page.
2. When screen rotate sometimes notification keys don't appears.
3. Facebook messenger doesn't popup. I can't use when I am using another app.
4. Most of the time when I restart the phone, 'android is optimizing the apps xx of xx' appears.
And some other bugs those I can't remember right now.
So I decided to change the ROM but confused which one to choose.
My need is a stable custom ROM with some beneficial changes and most importantly with no bugs.
I really need your help folks.
Thanks

I've been running Cataclysm for a few weeks now
Combine that with ElementalX kernel and my phone has been rock solid, great battery life (some of the best I've seen out of it) and I couldn't be happier.

Cataclysm rom uses stock kernel, you have to download ElemetalX separately. First flash rom and than flash kernel, but you don't have to wipe anyting before kernel flashing.

Thanx dimi3ye....last night I flashed the cm12 nightly caz I downloaded it before and installed the elementalx 2.10 stock/aosp version. Very much satisfied with the kernel as its giving me pretty good standby battery life though I m using the dt2w option and most importantly impressed with the sound gain option.
But still worried about custom ROM because cm12 launcher still has some bugs. So I need to know about cataclysm ROM what are the best picks of the ROM and the stability.

Your curent kernel will be reflashed with kernel that comes with Cataclysm... Read first page on Cataclysm tread for flashing instructions, because latest version is sometimes just update (~ 30mb), and first you have to flash major, big version (~ 550mb) before that update...

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you... You have to flash updates via recovery.

Gapps are included in rom. Usually, just flash latest update, if something else is needed, there is a description.

2.8.5.2 is fine... stable release means that every feature works perfect, beta is also rockstable rom, but new added features might have small issues (usually everything works perfect). I always flash latest whether is stable or beta, never had issues.

Hi everyone!
My display has started to show a circle of washed-out colours on the edges and I don't know why. It has all started when I unlocked the bootloader and changed the stock rom with the sultanxda's rom. The problem persist with other rom's, not only his one, and I wanted to ask you if it is a problem tha I can fix myself or it is possible call the assistance and ask for a new opo.

yes fyi : a kernel not a firmware .. both are different things ! he has told not to flash because of other bugs which might come because of not using his kernel ! he only tested his kernel and suggests that ! but this causes problems with new opos ! so flash sultan and lightning kernel or flash some other rom if you dont want to flash lightning kernel
