Hi,
I have recently gone from tweaked to stock kernel by flashing a 6.0 rom. Should I do anything with .dtb files now?
I had to flash one when I had charging problems on a tweaked kernel.
Thanks!

Hi, mates.
I have updated the Transformer to 3.2, with root and recovery.
My question is if I can install a kernel (eg Clemsyn) leaving the original rom. And if there is any way back to the stock kernel if there is any problem.
Txs!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi all, I've searched and can't find an answer to this, I would like to be able to flash a stock kernel without having to flash a complete ROM, at the moment I've got the latest OTA from Asus which I've rooted and put CWM on - all is very stable and I'm happy with it. However I like to experiment with custom Kernels , my point is, where can i find a stock Asus kernel (blob or zip I don't mind ) that I can flash using CWM or dd etc... ? My current build is 9.2.1.24 with kernel 2.6.39.4 [email protected]#1
Many thanks

It's better to backup the whole ROM since most kernels come with their own modules and/or libraries. Backing up only kernel and restore it may cause some issues e.g. Wi-fi not working etc.
Ok, thanks for that
Hi
Since the CM version of Aero isn't available as a single zip, I was wondering whether somebody is using Aero Kernel from Quarx's CM11 on other AOSP custom ROMs.
Do I just need to take the boot.img or do I need other files, too? For example Phantom Kernel also has Wifi files included
Edit:
Ok, I extracted the boot.img and flashed it using Flashify, but Wifi didn't work. So there is indeed something missing
I've been using Franco kernel for awhile now but I just noticed that camera will not record video anymore. Not sure if this is caused by Franco kernel but another thread said reverting to stock kernel fixed the same issue. Where can I get a flashable zip for the stock kernel? I've looked around and cannot find it.
Franco r32 causes this, flash r31 until r33 is released.
If you want stock kernel, then download the rom and fastboot flash boot.img.
i am not overly familiar with many things regarding different kernels and how to work with them, so i was wishing a few questions that i had could be clarified by someone who knows:
1. when a kernel is flashed? i mean except for the times when we flash kernel.zips via recovery, is it flashed whenever we install a custom rom? or is it flashed with bootloaders when we flash firmware?
2. I am using CM12 official nightly and facing camera frizz issues. I came across a post in the official CM12 thread where they said flashing a modified kernel supposedly fixed this problem. Now my question is, after flashing a custom kernel, is there any way to go back to the stock one? by stock i mean either the one i was on right before flashing the custom kernel or stock moto g kernel provided by motorola?
that also begets the question, can kernels be backed up like roms using recovery?

1. The kernel is first flashed when you install a ROM. You are supposed to flash a custom kernel after flashing a ROM otherwise the rom zip will overwrite it. It doesn't matter if you install it in the recovery or the boot loader.
2. To go back to the stock kernel just take it from the zip of the ROM and flash in the bootloader
where can i find the kernel inside the rom zip?
and if i want the stock motorola kernel that comes with factory firmwares
how can i collect that?
A ROM.zip contains the system folder and a boot.img
The kernel is in the boot.img
So if u flash a different kernel and still facing problems then flash the ROM again.

flashing only the boot.img of a rom wont bring back the default kernel?
and is there any way to make a flashable zip of a kernel from that particualr boot.img?cause all the kernels i see (like donkey kang/customized cm12 kernel) there are all distributed in .zip format.....
