First of all I just want to say thank you to the great people on here , because without you guys I wouldn't be rooted .my question that I have is, how can I just install a kernel ? I have fresh 3.3 but I wanna change the kernel without losing the Rom. I have tried a couple times with no success.please help.
 
Download the kernel zip file, put it on the root of your sd card, reboot into recovery (hold volume down while powering up) wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, select install zip file from sd card, select file and hit the power button. It will run for a few seconds, tell you its done, select reboot and you are done!
Check out Kings kernels, they are good, also netarchy. Kings plays nicer with my evo. Also be sure if you are running a havs kernel you either turn off the profiles in setcpu or uninstall it.
