Would King Klick's or JAC's Kernels work in the JI6 Stock rom ?
In short, no.
But some of the devs have modded (or included) certain files in their ROMs to make them them compatible. Don't try to flash a Kernel to the stock JI6 or you won't be able to boot.

I've tried to keep my Vibrant as close to stock as possible because I don't want to lose the OTA update capability. I don't want to have to flash to stock via Odin before I update my phone because it is hardware locked. So far, I've only done minor mods (metamorph, removed bloat).
So if I install a custom kernel such as JAC's or KK's overclocked kernels, will I lose the ability to OTA update? Will the update simply overwrite the existing kernel on my phone?

Most likely the devs in this forum will have a working and better version of any OTA you will get. Also when you get the OTA you will loose root and most likely get the bloat back. In my opinion you are better off waiting for one of eugene or bionix roms anyway.
To be more specific, my question is whether updating to any future ROM/OTA update will overwrite the existing kernel, or do I have to flash the stock kernel back before any of this?

You have to flash the stock kernal in order to be able to receive an OTA
Frankin-Twiz Final, awesome
can a stock kernal be flashed right over a custom kernal? (jac oc/uv)

I think so, unless you have any kind of lagfix installed. I say so because I have flashed ROMS like Bionix (which has its own kernel) over stock and vice versa. MAKE SURE NO LAGFIX IS INSTALLED!
is there a link for a stock kernel that can be flashed through clockwork recovery as a zip without ODIN?
Im assuming there is as I flashed the OC/UV Jac kernel though clockwork, so assuming that stock should be able to be flashed through clockwork.
Thanks
EDIT:
Can someone confirm that this is the stock kernel that can be flashed through clockwork? If I flash this (just stay rooted and with mobile AP) I should go back to be able to receive OTA updates, correct (I have not flashed any custom roms, just kernel)??

I just ODIN'd to the official ODIN JI6 file, and i know there is a mod thread from eugene about doing stuff to allow back supported kernels to be flashed to newer builds, and i know that the BIONIX ROM has that already setup (and more than likely the FTW ROM from eugene), but how would we go about doing that for the new release?
Thanks!
I know there is a CWM flash for kernel back support, and i know we have a stock JFD kernel CWN flash file. My question is, could someone get a JI6 Kernel CWM flash file like we have for JFD?
I know the back support kinda renders this request useless, but still, it's be nice to have the new JI6 kernel in case people are nandroiding between JI6 and JFD for tests and for future uses.
really? no one knows how to do this? Hell, if i have instructions on how to do this, i'll do it. i just don't know where to start.

Flash one of the custom ROM's. i.e. bionix 1.8
It's very easy to create your own flashable zips for any kernel of your choice.
For the JI6 stock kernel pull the zImage from one of the JI6 based ROMs (note - don't use the ones that are packaged with JAC's or KK's kernel). Unzip the stock JFD kernel flashable zip you have (i.e. from the Frankin-Twiz thread) and replace the zImage with the one you just pulled. Rezipp everything and voila you have your very own recovery flashable kernel.

Not what i wanted. the custom roms do kernel back support, which i already have the flashable zip for. That gets me no closer to having a flashable JI6 kernel, only JFD kernel.

Thank you very much for this. i'll work on it a bit today and test it out. thanks!
do i have te run a custom rom to install themes?
i have ota ka6 froyo, with voodoo/rooted kernel
pretty much ..yes.. I think a deodex'd version of stock 2.2 allows you to theme. There is a deodex'd version of KA6 in the DEV section if you don't want custom.
do i have to flash a whole rom, or just the kernel?
the whole rom .....disable voodoo first and let it convert & reboot completely
so if i wanna run bionix-v i can just flash without disabling voodoo, since its already voodoo enabled? also would my flashed kernel cause any problems? or will the rom flash ka7 kernel?
It will flash the ka7 voodoo kernel

I'm trying to flash a stock Rom onto my GS2 but i have a question. Does each ROM include a kernel with it or do i have flash a kernel first and then a rom? And does each kernel have certain roms that go with it or can i flash mix-and-match different kernels and roms?
Are you talking about stock roms or the modded ones in the dev section? Each rom does have a kernel that goes with it, however i wouldn't flash a 2.3.3 kernel on a 2.3.5 firmware.
In any case, the kernel has to be flashed at last, after the ROM
I'm talking about stock roms. My phone is on 2.3.4. If i flash a ROM, do i have to flash a kernel?

No, they already come with one.
