Just wondering..
What ROMs are currently being developed here on XDA (both the original android & android ROMs sections) are flashable through ODIN? and is there a benefit to flashing through CWM?
Thanks heaps

flashing through odin you can flash stock roms from different regions and also litening pro...check the android development section and you will find the rom thread there. also if you are going to root do your homework first...
benefit of flashing through CWM is it makes life alot easier...ie flashing through your computer each time you want to put a new rom on your phone...all your answers are in the original development thread
Yeh..I've been using Lite'ning Rom (currently on v6.1) on my SGSII, but I wanna jump on android 2.3.5.
Any recommendations on ROMs that can be flashed via ODIN..and provides good battery life?
Stock 2.3.5 from Intratechs thread .
jje
Do stock like JJe suggested and then just enjoy the beauty of it...give yourself a week trying it out and in between read through the original dev forums about roms and how everything works...each rom thread has guides on installations and how they work...if you got more questions feel free to ask me

How to know which kernel is correct?
As of now I am using Sensation rom which has Siyah kernel 2.5.2 and I want to flash speedmod kernel or N.E.A.K. Kernel,
N.E.A.K. Kernel only supports sammy roms
I tried to search but I could not find out if Sensation rom is aosp or sammy do you have any idea of it?
also does speedmod kernel support both as nothing it written about it on its thread
Thanks

Normally on the first page of a rom thread you will get a description what is the rom. For example MIUI is well MIUI. Hyperdroid is sammy deodex rom with of course modifications and tweaks in the build to make it better than stock.
Sensation rom is sammy deodex no aosp nothing like that. And when you normally look for an AOSP rom it normally would say it in the heading of the thread anyway.
On the kernel thread it has a guide of what roms the kernel works on and which ones it does not. Siyah works basically with any rom. CM7 to AOSP to sammy deodex. Regarding Simone's kernel which is the NEAK version or something like that it is based on only sammy stock deodex roms and that is mainly the ones in original development and android..just look out for deodex, sammy and stock rom
AS above its all a question of reading the info on the first page of the kernel post .
Plus if it does not work flash another one .
the Neak kernel should be ok been on mine for a few days .
Speedmod likewise ok have used it before .

Thanks everyone for their wonderful help!
I have got one last question
Speedmod kernel says "it is only for Samsung Gingerbread ROMs. It will not work with CyanogenMod or MIUI ROMS!"
does this means it will not work with sensation rom?
Edit: ok looks like the different versions are just the updated ones
But still the question is if it supports sensation rom?

Now, if you look at the VERY FIRST page for SensatioN ROM,, it says:
SensatioN ROM Features:
-Based on Samsung Firmware XWKK5 Android 2.3.6
With all of this information, you should be able to deduce that the Speedmod kernel WILL work with your ROM. If you still don't understand, I'm going to suggest you don't flash anything to your phone, for fear of ending up with a paperweight.
Ok this time I understand everything
I didn't knew that Sammy roms means that the ROM is based on Samsung's stock ROM
Also I thought that speedmod only works on stock ROM so all this things got me confused
But anyways now its all clear

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me, I just bought an i777 kk6 at&t.
I check this thread about aberration for i777 and I was wondering if I could get any help installing it into mine i777.
Aberration i777
Should I root my i777 first?
I tried to do it, but I had an error with my wifi so I unroot the phone, after that I search all over the internet to find out on how to root an i777 kk6, but I did not find any good information on how to do it (I am new with this but I swear I search a lot specially in this forum the past 3 days)
So if you can please let me know about any threads where I can find any information on how to root the phone and then install aberration that will be great.
In advanced thank you very much for your help and sorry for my lousy english.

Why doesn't work on KK6?
There are 4 options listed, choose one that suitable for you and your device.

No. Those would be for the GT-I9100 I believe. The kernels for the I777 will all be available in this forum, in the development section. You must use a Gingerbread kernel with a Gingerbread system, so when you are rooting with UCKH7, the two main custom kernels are linked in the guide. That would be Siyah, and Entropy512's daily driver. Either one will work fine to get you ClockworkMod Recovery. You'll probably be flashing a different kernel when you put on a new firmware anyway.

Use the Siyah kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228
It is the same kernel from the website you found, but adapted specifically for the I-777. There are two versions. For aberration i believe you need to install the version WITH micswap, but check the threads to make sure. If you are using it with another ROM, check the first post from the thread above, they list which versions you need for different roms.
One caution: some people have reported problems when installing v4 of the kernel immediately after flashing a new ROM. To avoid problems, Flash your rom, reboot the phone fully, then go back into CWM recovery and flash your kernel. Or, if you are not flashing a jellybean rom, you can just use version 3 of ktoonsez kernel instead of the version 4 beta, and avoid the problem altogether.
Edit: oops...seems creepy beat me to it. Just do whatever he said, he is one of the most knowledgeable people here

@bigote,
Maybe I misinterpreted your question, and wgoldfarb has it right, but just to be clear...
If you are rooting the phone with UCKH7 plus root from my guide, you will need to install a Gingerbread custom kernel to get ClockworkMod Recovery so that you can flash Aberration. In that case, DO NOT use this kernel since it is for ICS and will not boot when flashed with a UCKH7 system. Read and follow my previous post.
Once you have Aberration installed, then you can upgrade the kernel to the latest Siyah ICS kernel from this link.

Sorry, when i replied i had not yet seen creepy's post. As i said above, just follow what he said. To clarify my answer, i was assuming you were planning on rooting your phone following creepy's instructions, then install aberration, and THEN flash Siyah to use with aberration. In any case, if you are ever in doubt, you can never go wrong with creepy's answers.

Ok to be clear, I tried to root my phone, I did it actually from the galaxy2root.com, my wifi did not work and I "went back" to stock
now I have GB 2.3.4 (as always)

2.6.35.7
GINGERBREAD.UCKH7
Now If I want to install aberration I should do it from here and then root the phone with Siyah?

will this version of siyah kernel work with viking or pretty much any sammy rom????[ i'm only a month old with android so still a noob] really wanted a better opinion as messinh up kernel definitely leads to bricking !!!!
If you possessed the ability to read, look around and search, you'd notice by now that Siyah Kernel 1.6X supports only stock JB builds and unless I'm heavily mistaken (which I rarely am), VikingROM is indeed based on stock JB which means Siyah Kernel 1.6RC will work. Although, since it's an RC, do not expect it to be rock solid.

Hi there.
I just got a I9100 and rooted it.
It has 4.0.4 installed.
I read about the brick bug in the stock kernel.
So what do i have to do next? Do i have to flash another Kernel first? (Like speedmod) or can i just flash a custom rom?

gotbrickbug app and read a little more about brick bug, there's a dedicated thread about the matter in the general section.
Congrats on your new device and now you can do pretty much whatever you want, follow the guides and you'll be just fine.

To avoid bricking your device you need to flash custom kernel in ODIN like Siyah kernel. Once you have flashed kernel you can flash rom of your preference.
