I know this question might have already been answered, but since the official MIUI v4 based on ICS is coming on our device on the 29th, I was wondering how's the situation about Samsung and sources so that developers could build custom ICS kernels. I can't wait to try MIUI v4, but I can't live without some advanced features such as led-notif (or BLN, where unavailable), OC/UV and LOUDER.
No Sammy sources yet.
No custom kernels, hence.
Expect Sammy stock kernel sources about 2 to 4 weeks after ICS is officially available via KIES in the first regions.
Custom kernels about a week after that, give or take.

I am still somewhat new to the Thunderbolt root, rom world. I now know current roms are radio specific and would like to know if the same goes for kernels? I am currently running LTS v1.7 and see kernels for Froyo based roms but does this mean all mr versions?
No, only froyo or gingerbread and sense or aosp

No, kernels are not radio specific.
There are two groups for kernels:
Froyo and Gingerbread
For each of those groups, there are two sub groups:
Sense based ROMs, and AOSP based ROMs
So if your running a froyo sense ROM, you'll need a froyo sense kernel.
Hope that helps.
That is mostly true. The newest base for builds of gingerbread don't play well with the current selection of custom kernels. You'll get goofy stuff like quirky WiFi or an upside down camera. Read the OP. The dev will usually tell you what kernel will work with what.
Hi there,
Just loaded the leaked ICS and rooted it. Now, does anyone know of a way to overclock? I just tried using Da_G's just for kicks...didn't work (as i figured would be the case).
Thanks to anyone who can help.

We won't be able to overclock until Samsung releases kernel sources for ICS.
I'm guesstimating that kernel sources will come out a few months after our phones get an official ICS update.
When I717UCLC5 ICS leak first became available, a few hours later several ROMs were developed based on that.
And I recall that initially the ROM included GB Kernel for a very specific reason - to enable easy reflashing of GB ROM if desired.
So I have two questions -
1. Why would the new kernel make it difficult to go back to GB ROM? I though ROMs generally come with a kernel, so in the event of reflash it would be replaced?
2. Now that we have UCLD3 leak I can see new ROMs coming up that include the new kernel without any sighted concern for backward compatibility. So is there any concern over flashing the new kernel (besides the reports of hard bricks that affected other leaked roms but don't appear to apply to our processor)?
Thanks.
select one of them...
Huh?
?
Do you mean you are going to make a custom rom and are asking if you should base it on gingerbread or ics?
Rom is already made

i think the title should be "v6"
You better prepare 2 roms, 1 based on the argentina gb and the other one on ICS leak. But let ICS develop for a while it's not stable yet, and there's no source code, so I don't expect any major changes for the leak but minor bugfixes.
i ll make laytveyit v5 final without native bugs and i ll make another rom with ics base
Are there any custom kernels available for the 4.4.2 ROM's with some added governors (intellidemand) and stuff like S2W or DT2W? Or are the only kernels available the ones that come with the ROM's?
The CM ROM posted for the new layout has s2w, but that's it.
The kernel still isn't finalized, so posting a custom version that'll be outdated the next day really isn't worth any dev's time at this point. Besides the fact that many kernel devs have moved on to other devices or have just been busy.
