Kernel question

Hi there,

I am reading from some time threads and threads about the Atrix roms and kernels and since I am finding Android 2.3.4 (yes, still on GB) more and more limited in terms of supported apps I finally decided to make the big move.
I have chosen this ROM and I am currently making up my TODO list: I have the root, I will unlock the bootloader and then I will probably install CWM recovery and then switch the ROM.
I have just one question: I found a lot of threads and articles all around the web talking about how to switch ROM but not how to switch the kernel. Is that because each ROM comes with a bundled kernel and the procedure is the same for both?
It seems to be because I looked at the list of files and folders of one kernel I downloaded and it seems to be just a subset of the files in one of ROMs I downloaded...

P.S. Also, where can I find the Gapps? I found them in the website of CWM, is that ok?

I hope I am not wrong and I hope I will find some support if needed in the next days!
Many thanks

If you chose to switch ROMs to a non Moto ROM, then you will have to install CWM, there is no probably about it. As far as CWM goes, if you are going to go with AtrICS, CM9, CM10, CM10.1, or CM10.2, your best bet would be to go with the recovery from the link found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 seeing as it does cover all partitions and the previously listed ROMs do utilize the webtop partition. If you are going to go with CM11, best bet would be to follow Z's instructions in his thread

AtrICS, CM9, CM10, and CM10.1 have 2 main kernels that they have used, the 2.x kernel and the 3.1 kernel. the 2.x kernel is outdated, and only a handful of ppl still use those versions of the ROM. The 3.1 kernel is ROMs, its more like a kernel update rather than a switching. The link to the kernel updates is here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/npbgtozd4w0ahiv/VIA6JjSf4l and you simply just flash the kernel that corresponds with your ROM via CWM. CM11 kernel updates have come in each of the releases, along with the ones here for v3 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1w47t4vofyiwveb/AAAyK69Lv3z3oSgGI4Qoh9nha?dl=0

I'm a little confused on where you are getting these Gapps from CWM's website. I've been on there many times including now and I see no mention of any Gapps. As far as Gapps go, you need to use the one that matches up with your ROM version.

Hello,

I was referring to this link (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/developers/olympus?name=Motorola Atrix 4G). The last element is about Google Apps if I am not wrong...

I did it by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
But I am missing the Gapps, is there any recommended version for the Gapps on this ROM and where can I find them?
Thank you very much in advance.

Push power button twice might wake it up. I haven't been back on 4.2 lately b/c of the 4.4.4 builds.

I solved my camera issue by cleaning gallery data ( it worked ? ).

I tried waking it up with pressing power button multiiple times ( it didn't work) and by pressing volume buttons ( I enabled it in settings ) but
it didn't work.

I am using this rom : LINK

Thank you !!

Besides asking someone to reupload it on their G Drive or something, no.
