[Q] Question about flashing ROMs and Kernels

I was just wondering if you flash a new ROM is it necessary to flash a kernel right after? I just recently flashed the ICS port on my Nexus S and I was wondering if I have to flash my kernel again. Thanks
No, you do not have to flash a kernel after flashing a rom. Plus, using that rom (which is in its very early stages), it's not recommended that you flash anything on it.

every rom has its own kernel do not flash another one unless u got problems with stability/battery.

[Q] Need help on installing FXP

Hi, I am planning to isntall FXP146 over my stock .587 rom for my mini. My query is , do I need to install the rom before installing the custom kernel (like MESA) or the other way around? Or any order would do.
And which kernel is recommended for FXP if I am not into overclocking (MESA or Stock FXP) ??

You can use which you want, if you want more functions, use mesa.
You can flash kernel or rom first, normally this doesn't really matter. Only the clockworkmod version could change compared to the kernel you are using currently
Just flash the kernel then the rom or flash the rom then the kernel. You can use the kernel in the zip or mesa if u want more cpu governors & i/o scheduler like Mihahn said (better battery life too )
thanks guys for all the help.. yes i am using the MESA kernel, and i dont think anything can get better... loving cyanogenmod xD

First install a custom kernel. As most of custom rom required a custom kernel. So better have a custom kernel as you may need to switch to others custom rom in future. As for now, I personally recomended KernelPanic( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861905 ). I use Panic with Real ICS V6 custom rom and they works like a charm. Mesa provide good battery lifes but lack of perfomances and bad sound quality(i tried it myself before turn to Panic). You may try Rage kernel and Krsh as well. But there are abit old now, haven't updated since last few months. But still they are good kernels. Do some research before taking action's always a good idea. Cheers!

Unlocking Bootloader Trouble

Hello guys, i have a question for you.
The situation of my phone is this:
NOT-unlocked bootloader
CWM recovery
.587 baseband
OctanE ROM v5
I want to try Jelly bean, so i must unlock the bootl.
Should I install stock rom before the operation? Or can I maintain mine?
No need to flash stock ROM again... Just unlock your bootloader... There's a complete guide by mihahn in the stickies
And then flash JB specific kernel and flash JB ROM

After flashing kernel, does recovery work well? Because on the old x10 mini there were some conflicts.
