2 questoins about kernel

---

I've HTC One V about 2 days, so I'm green with things connected with flashing kernel (previously, I had been using X8 and the procedure of flashing kenrel was very different)... so there my questions:
1) Can anybody create a tutorial how to flash kernel step by step with every important thing that is needed to do this
2) What are those kernel sources codes (or something like that)?

1) just follow a standard kernel tutorial

2) HTCDEV all sources are there dude.

you will find this is 100x easier than on the X8

ok... but for what are those kernel sources codes (I'm asking just from curiosity )

And if I flash only kernel, I will be able to e.g play with overclock or I have to flash custom ROM to do it?
And is that like on X8: I have to find a pair kernel+ROM or I flash any kernel and any ROM and everything works properly?

You can flash any kernel with any rom you want. First thing to do before flashing a kernel: root access, cwm recovery installed. The only kernel that is working and you can OC your cpu is Titanium Kernel (in the development section). You can install this even on your stock rom, no need to install a custom rom.

Kernel sources are only for devs. A normal user should not mind about them.

Once you have a custom kernel, you can adjust the phone's speeds using a few apps such as SetCPU or No-Frills CPU Control.

Unlock the bootloader on your phone and follow one of the tutorials to get your computer environment set up (you need usb drivers, ADB and fastboot)

Once you have that set up, it's easy.

Specificly on the One V:

-restart your phone and hold down the volume-down button to go into the bootloader mode.

-Once in bootloader mode, select fastboot

-Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable. Make sure you have USB debugging checked and that you're in "charge only" mode. Fastboot will change to fastboot usb

-On your computer, run fastboot in a terminal or command prompt on Windows

The command to flash the kernel onto your phone is:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

If you just want to try it out, you can boot the kernel without flashing:

fastboot boot boot.img
