I have just recently begun modding my G2x. I can install ROMs without any problems but I've since been interested in flashing a custom kernel. Information is sort of everywhere and what I do manage to find I am worried about it being out-of-date. Anyway, I flashed cm7.1 (the stable release) and it worked fine until it started fc-ing everything google related (something to do with sync?). I decided to try flashing kernels (wiping caches as instructed) and could never get one to work. I've since flashed the latest cm nightly (201 I think) and tried trinity with it. Still nothing. I've since read that I should let the phone sit for 10-20 minutes but after about 20 minutes it is just a black screen and nothing ever happens. It does get really hot however. Anyway I have tried flashing kernels multiple times and nothing has ever worked, same story every time. Any way somebody could tell me what I'm doing wrong? Tell me what's compatible (as maybe sorta stable) with the ROMs I'm using? HAHA and if it's not asking too much...maybe some links too? Sorry, just very new to this and very eager to learn. I just have a bit of trouble figuring out what's supposed to be compatible and where to find it. THANKS!
Start over fresh, wipe data x 2, wipe system x 2, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash cm7 nightly, dont reboot yet, wipe cache ONLY, wipe dalvik cache ONLY, flash kernel try faux123 (make sure kernel is for cm7) latest or morfic latest, reboot, enjoy ....

Thanks will give it a shot in the morning. Too much of a headache all day. Back in a useable state and I want to keep it that way for a bit haha. Will post results.
I still haven't tried to flash a new kernel... that is coming in a bit. I do have a question though... I'm interested in getting my phone in the cleanest state possible before doing anything further. I basically want my external sd cleaned up (I want to just reformat it) before flashing a rom again. What files/directories are absolutely essential to keep? As I said, I want to just wipe it clean but I'm not sure I can do that.

So just to be thorough I can safely remove the cwm directory as well? Just delete it all put my rom and kernel zips back and I'm good?

Tried to just flash 0.4.7 and it did the same thing as before. Waited 20 minutes before taking out the battery then tried to boot it again. Waited 20 more minutes and all it ever did both times was get hot. Same results as before.
