Stable rom/kernel?

---

I'm running a rooted stock kernel/rom from VM

I wanted to ask in the dev thread but I don't have enough posts for it but I suppose this is more of a newbie question anyways.

If I put in the bkernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1322982 would I be able to use it with the stock rom?

The part about 66mhz support, Whyzor's latest touchscreen driver (don't know what they changed but my touchscreen is driving me crazy), and tethering is always useful. I just want something stable and my phone auto-reboots randomly so I'm ready to try something new.

Not certain but I think you can. Why not give it a try? Just do a nandroid backup before making the change so you can restore your phone if you don't like the result.

If you want improved performance but want to keep the original look and feel of your phone try the 'Triumph Stock Re-Imagined' ROM by chairshot215. I think it comes with a version of whyzors kernal. I am using it and it runs great, Quadrant score about 2700.

On the other hand, to my knowledge there are 2 things CM7 can't do, WiFi and Blue tooth will not operate at the same time and HDMI is broken. If you must have one of those well I guess you need the stock ROM.

That is pretty unfortunate. I don't use the HDMI out very often but it does prove useful when I want to show things off. And I am usually on wifi when I'm home >.<

I was somewhat hoping a stock rom would preserve the HDMI feature (did not see the wifi/bt issue) and I had hoped changing out the kernel would theoretically fix bugs and add features in the background while preserving the other stuff.

I really need to make a nandroid backup, I still use the stock recovery and one click root.

to my knowledge B_randon has 2 different B_kernels available, one for Stock roms and one for CM7 roms, im not 100% sure if the stock one will work on purely stock or if it has to be running a stock froyo type rom, but i cant see why it wouldnt


as for CM7, the having Wifi and BT enabled causes CPU to max and phone to crash is i bug that im pretty sure was resolved in the later builds


the rom by G60madman called CM7 G60 Style Final no longer has this issue to my knowledge, Altho it still does have the issue where leaving Wifi or BT on may cause it to not go into Deep Sleep Mode, but so far all my research has returned is that is a side effect of the workarounds needed to get wifi and bt to function properly


i currently am running the G60 Style Final on my device and i love it, im Not however running it with the b_randon kernel, due to the fact that in my case atleast the cm7 version of the kernel seems to not get battery life as good as the whyzor based kernel included in the rom
