From wikipedia:

A kernel is the main component of an operating system. Easily spoken it is responsible for the apps and the graphical user interface to work. Android uses a Linux kernel. These kernels can be tweaked in order to provide better performance, this is why we have "custom kernels" here. Your apps still will work the same way (at least should), will look the same, BUT Android just feels smoother and more performant with custom kernels, can be overclocked, offers new features, etc.

For your needs I would recommend one of these ROMs:

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421425 CM7 ROM by temasek, very stable and good

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526579 CM7 ROM Chuck Norris Edition, looks nice, nicely tweaked, I haven't tested but many people like it

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1464986 my own ROM, a hybrid based om CM7 temasek and mixed with ported LG Stock apps of Optimus 2X and Optimus 3D -- take it if you like CM7 but also want stock apps

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1699106 pure stock ROM by flix123, nice & stable, not heavily tweaked

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410662 Heavily modified Stock ROM by carburano, nice installer, very smooth and recommendable

And one of these kernels:

- temasek kernel for CM7 (you find it in the thread of his ROM), very stable and good battery

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427646 etana kernel for CM7, used and liked by many people, available in different flavors

- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24781628&postcount=2 Skynet kernel for CM7, a shame it has no own thread because it sounds nice to me though I never tried it myself

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835661 symbi0sis kernel for CM7, my own kernel, based on temasek kernel, stable, very smooth and offers good battery for many users though there are also users having bad consumption. Offers a great Tweak tool for setting ramhack, overclocking, disabling one cpu core, auto-brightness intensity, vibration intensity,...

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295486 HorsePower kernel for Stock ROM

By the way there are many different themes available for CM7, to make it look like Samsung or whatever you want.

Last post fs stefan + little more of info and we have a nice sticky kernel info thread

@op not better rom feedback that your own tests but im using chuck norris edition ( love the boot animation) + simbiosis no ics for me untill hwa
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
One more important info if you ever talk to Linux freaks: Linux is not the whole operating system, it is "only" the kernel :cowboy:

That's why Android is not the same as Linux even though it uses a Linux kernel.

However in everyday language when speaking to common people you usually refer to Linux as the whole operating system.

There are hundreds of Linux Distributions out there, which are basically only a specific Graphical User Interface + a Software-selection, boot-loader, etc. on top of one and the same Linux kernel (in different versions with different drivers).

Stock O2X uses Linux Kernel 2.6.32-something and the Android-interface on top (Android is not just an interface but you know what I mean) while there are for sure Linux Distributions for PCs using a Linux kernel in the same version but with different drivers and of course a different user interface and apps.

Because the graphical user interface on top of a Linux kernel is so easily exchangeable and additionally most things in Linux world are open source, there exists a broad variation of desktop environments for Linux-Distros on PCs, like KDE, Gnome, etc, because it is free and everyone can contribute and improve, just like we do here on XDA.

Making a custom / new Linux Distribution is the bigger brother of making a new Custom ROM. It will be much more work for sure, especially if you want to provide your users own software repostiories (where they get the desktop apps from), but the principle is the same: if you aren't satisfied with the existing ROMs, you can create a new one. If you aren't satisfied with the existing Linux distributions, you can create a new one.

This leads to fragmentation of course, there occur incompatibilities between distributions and their apps. Many people see the huge amount of existing Linux distributions negatively. On the other hand it's wonderful once you started testing several distros and suddenly find a perfectly matching one for your needs.

If you compare Linux with Windows/Mac it's a similar thing with Android vs. iOS: there is only one iOS, everything just works, most people like it. BUT you need to like it as it is, you can't really change the whole operating system. It can't be so good that everyone on earth would like it, that's not possible. Android on the other hand can be extremely modified. Users get choices, manufacturers get choices, if you don't like the way something works, you can change it. But here we go again with the negative effects, there is not only just one Android, nearly every manufacturer (heavily) modifies it according to their needs and wants. The results aren't always as good and as stable as iOS would be. BUT in return you get the choice to try and flash many different custom ROMs until you find a perfectly matching one for your needs some day. If the manufacturer doesn't prevent custom ROMs :cowboy:
[LG Optimus 2x] Buccio:
Use the temasek's cm7 with custom kernel symbiosis or etana
[LG Optimus 2x] Colaplus95:
Hi all!

Now I've read all your post, and downloaded these things for my phone:

P990_CM7KANG50_Camera.zip

P990_StockCamera_CM7.zip

P990_StockCamera_Kostja_V_CM7.zip

CAM_P990_Flix123_Port_amd_CM7.zip

cm7kang-O2x-134.zip

symbi0sis_kernel-1.1.2-default_recommended.zip

Now, which of the cameras should I choose?

Also, how do I install the kernel? And do I install it before or after I've installed the rom?

Another question here:

I've got this weird problem with my phone. My phone has got 8GB of internal storage, and a 2GB Micro SD card.

Whenever I install a custom rom, it seems to restrict the 8GB of internal storage for me, so that I can only use the 2 Gigs on my SD card, and then another 2 Gigs of the internal storage.

Also, can I just remove everything on both the card, and the internal storage now where I'm gonna put another rom on it? Or would that mean flashing and rooting again?
[LG Optimus 2x] Buccio:
1. Do not flash camera mod, the stock cm7 is good.. a camera mod isn't better imho

2. First flash the rom, then flash the kernel.. Kernel must be flashed after the rom

3. If you go in setting-> cyanogen mod-> you will see "use internal memory", by default it's not checked.. Well, if it's unchecked your external sd card is mounted as internal (and you use it for everything), and your internal sd card is mounted as external (under mnt/emmc).. if you check it you will have the stock mounting..

4. Deleting the contents of memory cards do not delete the rom, so you don't need to reflash/re-root etc..

Hope i have helped you :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Colaplus95:
Hi!

Thanks for answering.

Also, thanks for the guide on the memory card stuff. Apparently everything is saved on the SD card, which must also be the reason it always stops everything when the card is removed.

If I remove the SD card completely, and then flash the new rom and kernel to it, then what's gonna happen? Will I have full use of the internal memory then?
[LG Optimus 2x] Colaplus95:
Oh btw!

Another thing coming up, is that my PC can't connect with the phone, so I'm currently unable to get the actual rom and kernel onto the phone. Any ideas here? I know I can use my Micro-SD to USB converter, but then I wont be able to clean my internal card.

This is on both my desktop, and laptop PC. Doesn't work on my brothers PC either.
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
Two options.

1) Try tonyp's modded adb drivers

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752074

2) push files to the phone via ftp using sshdroid (you can find the app in the Google Play Store)
[LG Optimus 2x] Buccio:
Tonyp's driver is for cm9, so ics, here we have cm7, gingerbread.. so when you attach the phone to pc open the notification bar and you will see a messagge to activate the file transfer mode.. for adb driver the google's standard driver is good '
[LG Optimus 2x] Colaplus95:
Hi all.

I ended up figuring out why it didn't connect to the PC, and then got Temasek's CM7 on it, and the Symbi0sis kernel, but I found that they were as slow as the previous CM7 it ran, so now I've put MIUI on it, which is fairly smooth, and seem kinda stable, but looks great.

So for now, this'll be what I'ma use. If it starts bugging, I'll probably try ParanoidAndroid CM9.

Rom Manager from market is not properley compatible with our devices, no matter what the manager says or if you see SGS2 in the list. Uninstall it and only use the "CWM" app that is installed by kernel or reboot into recovery.

If all you want is a custom recovery on a stock firmware then you have to match the recovery to the firmware build......

Hi guys, I have been into a lot of gaming with my Note and my problem is that even with the phone plugged in the AC charger it runs out of juice and turns off while I'm playing.I am currently using CleaNote v5 ROM with the default kernel (Notecore 12.3) as I am having problems with the v14 & v14.1 (phone gets stuck when opening certain apps and needs to be rebooted).

Is there anything I can do (buy a better charger/battery, flash a better ROM or kernel) so that the Note can draw sufficient power from the charger and not drain while playing games? I just don't want it to die while I'm in the middle of playing even when it's plugged in and become unusable for several minutes.

Are you on OC version of Notecore ? If so downgrade to STD version or flash Speedmod. Its better on battery comparing to Notecore. Notecore gives you performance but don't think its battery friendly.

You can also try Battery Calibration from playstore to improve the stats. Just make a full charge of your battery and open Battery Calibration. Hit Start and follow the instructions there.

Drain after Paranoid Android

Hey that`s my first post and I hope that's the right way to ask for help...

I was running Paranoid Android 0.5 based on CM9. Then I flashed PA bsed on CM10. There I got an awful battery drain. So I flashed back to PA 0.5. But know the problem was there too. Even flashing to Samsung stock Gingerbread/ICS with ODIN didn't solved the problem. In Airplane mode the phone still hold for days but with airplane mode off and only mobile phone it drains fast. Also to mentioned I forgot to fullwipe flashing the ROMs forth and back. Would a fullwipe solve the problem?

2.now when your battery dead,charge your phone in switch off mode(dont boot it).

3.wait till the full charging.when it is done,remove your charger.

4.now go to recovery mode(cwm recovery by pressing vol up+home+power key),go to advance and wipe battery stats.and reboot.

I believe you can still run adb from that screen.

You can check with the command:

adb devices

To see if it recognizes it. From there you can do

adb reboot recovery

To see if it works. But you will need to double check the command for the last one. Don't quite remember it. The link I gave you should have it somewhere there or just google the command.

The kit requires a gold card for every device. Reformatting doesn't wipe the goldcard. It sounds like your laptop may be having USB issues. Or you need to use a different sd card. Not all sd cards will play nice with the goldcard hack. I'm just curious why wouldn't you let attn1 connect to your pc? He would have surely got it worked out for you. He makes a tool and offers free support for it on his own time. He was just probably offended that you went to him for help and then won't let him help you. He just uses teamviewer and when done he can't get back in unless you generate a new code for him. He is completely trustworthy. I used to be in the irc chat and the only reason it exists is for support. Sometimes its absolutely necassary for him to remote in and just fix it for you since walking you through is going to take up more of his time and you may not be able to keep up. He knows his stuff.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chachoi:
Hi Gizmoe,

I see, maybe I'll use a different sd card or usb cable next time I try it. Regarding the remote access, maybe I was reluctant to allow an experienced hacker such as attn1 to directly access my laptop, you know just to be safe. Better to be safe than sorry right? I did not intend to offend him whatsoever. And he was grumpy to begin with. And though he answers like that way he did, I still thanked him for helping me fix my device. Maybe he's an old guy.

When you tried rooting yours. did it went smoothly?
