Flashing new kernel won’t affect any other apps. You can install kernel on top of the Vanir rom already installed i.e., no need to install ROM again. You can always change kernel but be sure it was given by the original ROM developer. Meaning you have to install kernel zips given in VANIR ROM xda page only.

Custom Kernel is written by original ROM developer with his own power schemes like cpu frequency switching based on load etc. For VANIR Rom, using the stock kernel is giving very poor performance. So installing the custom kernel given by VANIR developers is a must to get that performance with Vanir ROM.

You’re welcome. I’m using B17 zip without issues. Haven’t kept up with developments in xda thread. But B17 seems to be most used.

Which steps you follows to install the rom,tell me from step 1 to end after you goes into recovery fpr installing rom & please tell which recovery & version you r using cwm or twrp

Using freegee for installing recoveries
Using cwm recovery
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset”
2. Advanced option and selecting wipe dalvik cache
3. Install zip
4. Selecting the zip file saved on SD card and flash
5. Getting the above said error..
What am I missing?
Now I am using snapshot m4 good one, light don’t know the exact battery coz I am now using the phone without sim…but ram usage is around 400mb…
But I wanted to try miui and vanir but for both i am getting the same error..

1st,2nd & 3rd step is not required as you have cwm,so start from 4th step directly as your 1st,
Follow the below steps:
4th now into recovery you have to use

option,& power button to confirm any thing
5 into recovery 1st off all go into
backup & restore-go into backup to /
storage/sdcard1-select it by power
button ,the phone will tack back up all
thing to sdcard(will take around 5
minute) after completing it ,select go
back (bottom last option) so main
recovery menu will apear
6 into recovery-a:select wipe data/factory
reset-press power button-another menu
will open select yes ,thats do a factory
reset
b:select wipe cach partion-press power
button-give yess that will wipe cache
C:select mount & storage-press power
button -than there is a menu-in that 1st
option written as mount/system select
it,press the power button so it turns into
unmount/system ,do the same for 3d option
data so ultimately there is top 3 option
looks like :unmount/system unmount/cache
unmount/data
Now go down into same & select format/
system,give yes ,than formate/cache give
yes,than format/data give yes than go botto
last option-go back it will shows main

I have found out something interesting
I was having ics when i recvd the handset.The battery was running good. decent talktime.
Then i updated it thru lgnpst with stock v20 rom jb.i suddenly felt the battry is dying too early.The talk time as down by almost 40%.
Then i read somewhere that hard reset cud help.I did it.then after i got the battery flying high…it lasted 24hr with wifi always on and calling used for 3 hrs!!

Then i realisedthat battery when reached to 5%, dies suddenly.So i installed battery calibration sw.I recalibered battery.Then onwards i again started having faster battery drain.I observed it for 2 days.Then again i did a hard reset but it didnt help.battery was dying fast as it was.

Today i reflashed same rom thru lgnpst again and did a hard reset ( vol down + power).
Again battery has started giving decent talktime!!!

i will observe 3 more days.Then i will post the result again.
Has any1 got such an experience? those whose btry dsnt last long can try this.

whenever my battry was draining faster, the handset was getting heated without using any heavy apps.Just sms whatsapp wud get it heated.But now when my btry is lasting longer, again the handset has started cooling down.It dsnt heat now.
