[Q] kernels????

[d1ck3y0da]

ok so i just bought the lg optimus Q for straight talk and i will be rooting it. my question is what is a "kernel" for? why should i get/install one? dose anyone know where i can download one with step by step instructions to install. any help will get thanked. thanks

The kernel tells your phone how to operate. It manages system operations and tells the hardware when and how to react... AndroidArea51.com is doing a lot of development on the Optimus Q. It's honestly the only site I've found for development for our phones outside of this one.

ok thanks man. and is teh kernel attached to the rom? because i seen you have to flash the kerne just like a roml

Think of your phone like a car, the Kernel would be the engine.

ok i think i got it. now do you know where i can get a custom kernel for my Q???

 

[jcole20]

Androidarea51 is the only site with an available custom kernel.
