Default How to change Roms ?

Hi, i'm new to this, and i need a bit of your expertise.

Right now i have MiniCM7 2.1.7 last update from original poster : nobodyatall

And nAa kernel

What i have to do to change for another rom ? like Paul-xxx's rom ?

I have to wipe data/factory reset and then install like the first one i did, will wi fi work with paul's room ?

I want to change room because this one uses a lot of battery, even all day basically idling.

I turned it on 7:30 AM and now it's 17:43 and there's only 54% left ...

Thank you

If u want to switch to another ROM follow these steps
1) download the *.zip (the ROM zip)
2) go into the recovery n flash it..
3)make a cache wipe n also a factory reset..
4)reboot ur from recovery
Ur done.. :)
N wifi workin in paul-xxx's ROM depends on the ROM which it is check the details on resp thread.. (actually for paul-xxx's ROM's wifi is working except ICS as its in development..) happy flashin.. ;)

thanks, i'm a bit confused about kernels and CWM , because:

When i installed the nAa kernel this " CWM " comes along with it and then i see this on the paul's thread :

Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware

So, if i put back the original Kernel, i won't be able to use the CWM and therefore i won't be able to flash the paul's rom, and probably will have a bricked phone, because the rom that is on the phone is not compatible with SE original kernel ..

Am i thinking right here ?

Thanks a milion

U made me confused for a sec.. lol neways.. Its the 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware not the kernel.. So what u can do is .. switch to the ROM (it will have its recovery) then flash a new kernel if u want (as for nAa kernel, any other ROM than his will not work with phone vibration(if not inbuild) n few feature.. So with other ROMs go with other kerneles like zp kernel, Fa kernel or which u like.. So first change the ROM then the kernel ul go good..

I'm still confused because it says this :

If you not 2.1.1.A.0.6, you need to flash FTF file via FlashTool.
PS: hacked bootloader is not needed. This kernel official. This kernel, it returns the firmware on 2.1.1.A.0.6


" this kernel official "

So what happens if i flash the stock kernel, and then the CWM goes away ? I can't then flash the paul's rom and the phone will not enter the OS because the OS i use does not suite for SE original kernel ...

ps. sorry for being such a noob and pussy, but i just don't want to brick it.
