I've looked through DNA Q&A as well as general Q&A but I couldn't seem to find the answer.
I'm running slimbean and saw that there was a recommendation to use a specific crpalmer kernel. I have downloaded the kernel and I saw its .zip so I may just flash it in my recover I'm assuming. Correct?
Also, what if I don't like it? Do I need to retain a copy of my current kernel, is it available here, or is it already in the ROM's zip? I looked at the ROM and kernel zip files and they both appear to have contents for boot.
Finally, is there an order to install the kernel? If my assumption of the ROM also having a kernel then i'm guessing I should install the kernel after the ROM?
Thanks

im stalking you lol.
yes just flash it make sure its the AOSP one if you are running slimbean. if you are flashing a fresh rom, make sure you let the rom boot up first and settle before you flash a kernel (or anything else for that matter). you probably wont dislike crpalmers kernel, but in TWRP you can make a back up of just the /boot partition, not sure if you can in CMW though. you could also dirty flash the rom.
and if you have more questions, just keep asking them on the same thread. dont start a new one, its causes clutter. also you can quote people and it notifies them, so they know you responded.

Well. I "soft bricked" my phone for lack of a better word. I used that kernel in the thread from slimbean and phone went black after flashing HTC screen twice...thank goodness for ADB reboot recovery. But I reinstalled back and all is well. Wish I could post in that exact forum.

Hi,
Can u d/l the latest aosp kernel from crpalmer.
Chk 2nd post of my slimbean thread. It was not updated.
Below steps for installing kernel only ::
1. DL zip file
2. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash zip file.
Make sure u flash ROM and gapps first. Let it boot up.
Then try with above mentioned steps for kernel

I was going to flash CM9, but while reading through the page in the general section I came across this at the bottom:
Don't expect help if...
are not running stock cm-kernel
I searched for a CM kernel and didn't find anything. Doing my search, I noticed some mentioned that the kernel is built into the flash.
A: is that correct? If so, why would the specify you need to be running a CM-Kernel (Unless CM means Clockwork Mod?)
B: If not, where can I download this kernel at?
Thanks!

Ok. so option "A" is correct then. Since I'm running Entropy's daily, by flashing the zip, it will automatically replace the kernel I'm running. They just don't want people going in behind their install and throwin in their kernel of choice. Correct?

No they just won't support it if someone flashes another kernel afterwards because that can create other problems that they can't troubleshoot if you aren't running their kernel. This is because the kernel might have caused said issue

I'm not sure what you're saying is true. When installing UnNamed Rom, I needed to first install a kernel with CWM in it (Entropy's). I'm not sure why the install instructions for the ROM would say "Install the Kernel" unless it needed it. Would be kind of redundant don't you think?
That's why when I read the warning about running a different kernel, I wanted to make sure that there wasn't a step I was missing before installing it.

Asked, discussed but don't say such "I'm not sure what you're saying is true", it is an insult. Phalanx is right and I think you maybe still confuse about the process.
Q: why would I (we) need to install custom kernel such Entropy DD before flashing custom ROM?
That question leads to another question
Q1: how do I flash custom ROM, what is the requirement?
A: In order to flash ROM, you MUST have CwMR installed
Then next question Q2: how do I get CwMR installed on my device?
That lead to the answer for the first question, you get CwMR by installing custom kernel.
Still confuse?
Now back to your discussion, yes, every ROM (I should say every firmware image) MUST contain the kernel (along with the OS).
In your first post, CM9 ROM will have CM9 kernel called "CM stock kernel"
Why don't they support anything else but their own kernel?
Put it this way, you sell me a PC, running Windows 7, I bring it home, rip it apart, install Linux on it, when I have issue, I call you and say "I bought the PC from you, I decide to install my own OS, and now something doesn't work right". Do you think you will provide me any kind of support?
Another note from your post, CM9 is ICS, make sure you get Entropy's ICS kernel called FAQUD (spelling), not his Daily Driver for GB.

Thanks. I wasn't insulting anyone. I was saying that I don't know, but I didn't think it was true. Not saying YOU'RE WRONG!
After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.
My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?
I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.
On the Siyah thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?
Are these the proper files for Criskelo?
Criskelo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo
I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.
To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap ([email protected]).
Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.

it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.

Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.
What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?

Once you get accustomed to it, flashing with a full wipe isn't too bad. Make a nandroid backup in case you decide to go back. And I would recommend you buy the full version of titanium back up to get the batch features, and support the developer. It is probably the most important app for those that flash regularly.
I can fully wipe and flash and have everything back up and running the exact same way it was in like 10 minutes. But I like the chance to start fresh
Hey guys. I have a litening rom 2.3.6 still... i have installed rom manager and i found in there a CyanogenMod rom. I was thinking...
Can i just download and install from ROM manager ? Pls help
Don't use Rom Manager. At all. For anything. Does not play nice with CWRecovery on SGS2. Has a tendency to break it & cause bootloop.
Flash roms/mods/whatever directly from CWRecovery, I.E download CM zip & put in on your internal/external SD card, boot into recovery & flash from there.
Okay so. I want to install disaster rom 4.1.2. But i have 2.3.6 lite ning rom. Can i just flash directly to that rom? Do i need to do a wipe data and cache ?

You should ALWAYS wipe data and cache before flashing anything. Also wipe Dalvik-cache if necessary. You need to find that ROMs ZIP file and then you can flash it. Or tar/tar.md5 if you prefer Odin. But remember ALWAYS wipe.
But i also wonder if you can directly download a JB ROM (im on ICS currently).
There shouldn't be a problem to go from ICS to JB, but i am still not sure and that's why im wondering.
Follow the install instructions for that particular rom from the first page of the thread devoted to the rom. But generally when you move from one rom to a completely different rom (as opposed to merely flashing a nightly or different version of the same rom), you wipe.
R: Installing from ROM Manager
Okay got it. Another last question . I am on 2.3.6, do i need to flash to ICS first? I mean can i install a cyanogen10 directly from clockwork?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I don't think I can be any more clear than I was in my previous post, but I'll try:-
Read the instructions on the first page of the CM10 discussion thread. Follow these instructions to the letter. If they don't specifically mention that you need to flash rom X before flashing CM, then you can safely assume you don't need to. Likewise if they do have such an instruction, do it.
This goes for flashing any rom. Follow the instructions. Every rom has them, and I've never seen a rom that has flashing instructions that are not clear/simple.

I have flashed paranoidandroid 3.15 on my galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago, aside the occasional screen that win't turn on I haven't had any problem, but I set my mind on flashing a new kernel in order to be able to change thez governor. I tried to flash air kernel on, I did exactly what I was told: Boot into recovery, clear cache/delvik, installed kernel from sd card, and rebooted. But after the phone being rebooted, I still had the stock kernel.
My question is, why did this happen, and how do I fix it?
All help is appreciated

Best advice i have for ya is to do a lot more reading before trying to flash anything.
There is a lot of info here in the stickied threads, etc. And as well in the more up to date threads. U will have to do some searching in the q & a and general forums, but it shouldn't be to hard to find ur answers. But u need to be sure of what u r doin before u do it, so u don't end up with a messed up phone again. There are members here that constantly help, but i think it is best to help urself 1st and then ask ?s later if ya can't find an answer or resolve an issue.

I read about Cyanogenmod but i cant find a post about flashing a rom without rom manager or pc, does someone know how?
Friend, you need to read/research... a lot. I don't know of a way to flash a rom using just a PC. But flashing CM is just like flashing any other rom for your device. Please read the thread of the rom you're wanting to install thoroughly (especially the OP) before proceeding.
And most definitely stay away from Rom Manger; it just isn't completely compatible with the i777.

Isnt there a CWM for i777? I found the app recovery tool that installs CWM but before installing it you see the SCARY rom manager logo, i researched a lot, but i dont know what to do, most of posts and videos are using rom manager.
On the i777 the recovery (in most cases it's CWM) is included in the kernel. So there's no need to install it separately.
The only time you'd ever need to install CWM manually is if you're trying to get from JB to KK. Is this the case? You state you want CM but you fail to list which version. More information would be helpful, such as what you're currently running and what you're trying to accomplish.

Im running at&t 4.1.2, i want to flash CM 10.2
OP,
Ok here ya go...
U can get Root with Framaroot apk (found here on XDA).
U can use Mobile Odin (available on XDA or Play Store) to flash a compatible 4.1.2 dev'd kernel, that includes cwm recovery (see AJK thread in Dev forum).
Flash the AJK kernel (boot.img) initially through Mobile Odin, then reboot into said cwm and flash the AJK kernel again (the whole kernel.zip) so that the capacitive buttons work correctly. Then reboot into recovery and flash ur Rom of choice, per that Rom's OP install instructions. This has been posted quit a few times by myself and others, specifically creepyncrawly. Plz continue to read up thoroughly in the threads i mentioned above and happy flashing. :thumbup:

It's not critical when you wipe. It's probably best to wipe before you flash the rom of your choice, though it can be done after. The worst that can happen is that it won't boot properly before you wipe, but the wipe will fix it.

So first cwm, wipe cache, dalvik, install ajk kernel and rom? Or install kernel, wipe and install rom?

From stock 3e recovery, you should perform a wipe data/factory reset, then install AJK kernel and the rom. You will not be able to perform wipe cache and dalvik from stock 3e recovery as far as I remember. But either way, the important wipe is wipe data/factory reset from within recovery.
Wow guys thank you so so much it worked i admire what you guys do but no i installed cyanogen 10.1 which ajk kernel is compatible because i think Ajk kernel noswap wont work anymore.
AJ has an AOSP kernel in the OP of his [Kernel] AJK thread.
