yes sir you just dl the kernel and flash just like a rom. dont get worried if your phone flashes the word "android" on boot after flashing thats a issue with boot animation and new kernel. depends what rom your on now and what froyo build.

where do you get the kernals? is there a list like roms. i saw in one rom's page it said try this with all the kernals, but didn't see the kernals for download.

There is Stock Kernel, Twilight Kernel, Genocide Kernal, Bonsai Kernel, and Spartacus Kernel..at least the major ones..

i see, [kernal], [rom]...it's all clear now. do you have to wipe to flash a kernal? do you have to reflash a rom after flashing a kernal or no? thanks again. you guys are great over here in the epic section.

After flashing a kernel you dont need to wipe or flash a rom..unless you plan on going from RFS->EXT4.and you shoud still keep backups of all your data before flashing ANYTHING..the kernel should not do anything to mess up your data..but its very important to always make backups
