So I recently flashed the OTA Rom and I noticed I can't overclock it, is there something I can do? Do I need to flash a kernel or something, also is it possible to change the top bar because I don't like the stock version, like change the theme but I don't want to change the launcher at the bottom . Sorry for the noob questions lol
Best advice would be to flash this ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227075 Droidth3ory makes awesome roms. This rom is based off the latest GB build as well. It also will include a kernel for overclocking into it. Also, he has an app called the "Candy Stor3" in his rom, which has theming options to it, if you want to change how your phone looks.
To answer your question though, with OTA roms, there aren't custom kernels loaded into the rom, because OTA roms are what is "out of box" state. It will come with the manufacturers kernel. Even though the version GB version is updated, I believe a Sense kernel should work with your rom.
Awesome, thank you so much
I put together a rom based on theory's rom listed above, then flashed a sense kernel for overclocking, n it seems to break wifi. So I'm not sure if u can o/c the new 2.10 base yet, may need a new kernel

You obviously tried dreamkernel. Imoseyon has the WiFi fixed. Neither have been at all diligent about keeping their kernels current so there are basically no custom kernels that are fully functional with any ROM base newer than 2.07. The lone exception would be Ziggy's, but you'd have to strip that out of Gingeritis or synergy.
Its probably a noob question but i really need an answer. Ive seen in many roms the based on cm7 or something else. When telling that a rom is based on something, do we mean that the rom will just have the graphics of the cm7 in my example, kernel parts or what? I hope my question was clear enough.
When a Rom is based on say another Rom such as cm7, or when its based on an HTC ruu for example, it means that the dev has constructed his Rom using another Rom/firmware. It is usually the same kernel, and the possibilities of how the Rom is similar to the base is different depending on what the developer wants with his Rom.
I'll give you a clear example. A MIUI Rom requires an aosp base.

What it usually means is, someone took CM7 (or whatever rom) and pushed and pulled files to make it their own. And then shares what he has done with the community. More often than not, it is CM7 with custom tweaks, new launcher, couple apps, scripts baked in. In my HUMBLE opinion these aren't consider ROM's to me. They are simply modified versions of someone else's ROM's.
Yet there are still people who take ROM's and completely rewrite them. Those would be based originally off other ROM's but actually made a totally different ROM.
Everything cleared out in my head, thanks
Hi..I just rooted my phone now how do I change the OS and which is the best one?
Thanks!!
Did you unlock your bootloader?
Finding the best rom for you is going to be trial and error. I would start with something stock or cm7 based. Try an ICS (cm9, miui, aokp) rom down the road if you want something newer. Be careful though because cm9, although pretty stable at this point, is still in alpha/beta form. There are some things that aren't working 100%

No I haven't. I am kinda new at this,but I am learning.
Anyone know if there are any CM10/10.1 ROMs that work on the JB kernel, or any that are in progress?

Still nothing AFAIK
No ofense, but you should ask in the Q&A section
dhacker and hashcode (STS-Dev-Team) are working on it. it currently doesn't boot fully. I have a guess, that we won't see a stable build until we get the official ota, beccause that build is likely to have an even newer kernel.
Would love it
Not sure if you guys know but kexec ROMs work on the jb kernel cause it replace the kernel overtop of the stock one (PS. I tried it and it work for me)
So I've tried a bunch of different ROMs (CleanROM, Alliance, Beans, CM, OMNI, "Stock", probably more), but I've never really understood kernels. It seems some custom ROMs have a kernel built in (or several to choose from via Aroma), while others do not. Right now I'm running AOKP (4.4.2) with the kernel from OMNI (3.0.64-OMNI-g5f47648), presumably because that was the previous ROM I flashed with a kernel. I'm not too concerned with customization, more with stability.
I've been having a few minor bugs and crashes and I'd like to try perhaps the stock kernel to see if that might help, but I have some questions:
1) Does it matter when flashing a kernel whether the ROM is TW or AOSP?
2) Are there multiple versions of kernels that correspond with the Android version of the ROM?
3) What's the best/easiest way to flash a kernel, presumably through the custom recovery like a ROM?
4) Where can I find the stock kernel? I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610870) with the stock MJ9 kernel, but going back to my first two questions I'm not sure if it would work with my current ROM.
Thanks ahead of time for any insight anyone can provide.

1) Does it matter when flashing a kernel whether the ROM is TW or AOSP?
Yes. TW and AOSP kernels are different.. The only one, that I believe, that can be used with both is Devil kernel for Dual Booting
2) Are there multiple versions of kernels that correspond with the Android version of the ROM?
Yes. Usually every version of android that gets updated.. the kernel does as well
3) What's the best/easiest way to flash a kernel, presumably through the custom recovery like a ROM?
Yes you can flash kernels through a custom recovery. Most of the time they are included with the Rom that you flash. A lot of the custom ones out have flashable zip for you to flash them through a recovery.
4) Where can I find the stock kernel? I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610870) with the stock MJ9 kernel, but going back to my first two questions I'm not sure if it would work with my current ROM.
No this will NOT work with a AOSP rom.. The kernel will be specific to that ROM and every other TW 4.3 ROM, but NOT AOSP

Thanks for the explanations, that helps tremendously. I'm confused now, however, because several people on the AOKP thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453566) claim to be on "stock kernel". Is there a stock kernel for AOSP that I'm missing?

Yea the one that flashes with AOKP.. loll

Well that's what I thought, but why then would I be using an OMNI kernel (3.0.64-OMNI-g5f47648) when I have flashed the last three AOKP nightly ROMs that have come out? Or am I missing something here?

Maybe he uses that kernel.. AOSP kernels, I believe are pretty similar.. I may be wrong, I am by NO MEANS a kernel guru..I would open you zip of your ROM (AOKP) and take a peak.. if there is a boot.img than it flashes a kernel.. and if your says OMNI then thats the kernel the dev has used..
Stock
If I'm on the stock rom and want to go back to the original kernel can I just restore the boot img in recovery?

Should be able to if you back it up previously.. but make sure it is same rom.. TouchWiz for TouchWiz.. AOSP for AOSP

Thank you sir. It worked just fine.
I have a noob question, I'm currently using n3bula 3.9 custom rom and it's been running fine for a while. I noticed that users chose the agni kernel whereas I chose the stock one. So my question is, is it possible to flash just the kernel from recovery without losing my data? I've spent so much time and effort customizing my phone, therefore, I just want to change the kernel. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I would think that as long as it doesn't break anything you should be fine. Probably do a backup first if you're worried about it.
Thanks for the response Michael, however, that was the response I was dreading! I'm actually worried I'll lose my WhatsApp and Viber accounts because even if I backed up my data, I'd still have to register my old WhatsApp and Viber numbers all over again which I don't have anymore.. ??
