Root Flashing Kernals

[steelersmb]

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to flash a new kernal? I am fine with flashing ROM's, just haven't tried a new kernal yet.

Thanks.

Same as flashing a ROM...jus download the zip on your SD card and Flash it using recovery....Kernels do not require wipe and such but it is recommended to wipe both caches

We might not need another kernel thread, but we certainly don't need another beat up on people for not searching thread.

Here's my advice:

I flashed the stock rooted rom - with that, the stock kernel. Sources here:

HTC Supersonic/ROMs - XDA-Developers

Next - set up everything as wanted/needed - accounts home screens, etc.

Next - make a nandroid backup of that.

Next - make a Titanium Backup of all user apps and various settings stuff, see -

Next - review changlog and decide on a kernel version from netarchy here -

[Kernel]netarchy-toastmod, Stable: 4.1.8, Beta: 4.1.9.1 w/HAVS (CFS + BFS ver. up) - xda-developers

Load kernel zip file onto sd card, not within folder.

Wipe data either using bootloader option or the How-to-fix factory reset.

In bootloader, choose update from zip file (choice of update.zip or by going to named file - use the go to named file option, navigate to the netarchy kernel, select).

After wipe - use Titanium Backup to restore stuff.

At the first sign of anything not working perfectly - go to bootloader - wipe clean - nandroid restore of stock everything.

That's the process I've been following for all of my custom kernel explorations.

So far as I know, everything works in netarchy's kernel - but - please trust his comments over mine - I don't live in a 4G area.

The kernel is the part of the operating system that links the hardware to the software - so Sense is preserved, everything is preserved, except the wifi tether restriction and the 30 fps restriction. With his kernel, the phone does feel considerably more responsive.

Info on what I mean by more responsive, with more links to follow within each -

There are other great kernels out there, I can't say why I gravitated to netarchy's - I just did.

Hope this helps!

We welcome EVERYONE to this forum. We don't care if their grammar isn't perfect. And, albeit a little annoying when someone doesn't, we don't "require" people to search first before they post a question. Replying to a thread by saying "use the search" is just as bad or worse than not searching first. Either reply to a thread with a helpful solution or don't reply at all.

Just the rules of the road.

Post #4 says it all. The title even gives a big fat clue.... "Zero-Tolerance Policy". Any more posts that breach it will be rewarded with a short all-expenses trip to Banlandia.

That is all.
