I have the HTC One AT&T (JB 4.3) and i just flashed the PAC rom(4.3). I want to flash the ElementalX kernel and there is a kernel for sense based roms and sense based jelly bean roms. I was wondering what is the difference between a Sense based rom and a Sense based Jelly Bean rom? Which one do i flash to my phone? I dont want to end up with a $600 paperweight. And also what is an AOSP based rom?
I suggest doing some reading before flashing anything

Do not flash the elementalx kernel or you may brick your device or put it in a bootloop. Those are for sense based roms only. PAC rom is an AOSP (stock Android) based rom. Try looking for kernels for AOSP roms.

Alright thanks for telling me that. I am looking for a kernel that lets me use the htc logo as a button and ElementalX is the first one i came across. Does this kernel work with my rom? If not, can you recommend a kernel that lets me use the htc logo as a button?

It's for cyannogenmod, it may work for PAC rom. Make a backup just in case

hey guys.
I've got a few questions regarding my i9100's kernels and ROMs.
I'm currently running dual boot RR Rom in primary on dorimanx v7.8 kernel, the kernel got updated to v7.8 when i installed M1UI ROM in the secondary ROM space. Both ROMs are 4.1.2.
I've tried to install the latest stable version of root box and paranoid android into 2nd ROM position. When installing them via cwm recovery I didn't get the launcher like with M1UI or RR, so there was no option to upgrade the kernel.
Paranoid android didn't boot at all after install and root box booted but the start animation was laggy when booting and once booted the system UI crashed with everything else. Both ROMs are jellybean and dorimanx v7.8 supports jellybean?
I'm guessing I'm missing a obvious compatibility issue.
My question lays with updating the kernel. Is there a proper way to update the kernel so I can try paranoid android and root box?
Should I clean/wipe both ROMs and caches, run a kernel cleaning script and install a new kernel (the latest version of dorimanx)? Then my current ROM will be incompatible?
Do I just got ahead and install a compatible rom (root box / paranoid android)?
Is this the right way to go about updating kernel to try new ROMs?
I haven't been able to find a guide on this subject. Leaving me with a small fear of fiddling with things I don't fully understand. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Many thanks.

For the latest root box and pa to work you need say dormanx 8.xx. Do clean your system up with kernel nuke and rom nuke then flash rootbox 4.2.2rom to first rom then pa 4.3 rom to 2nd rom. I say 8.xx cuz if you want to use a stock based rom you will need 8.xx as this is for both stock and custom rom. 9.xx is just for custom. By all means if your going to run just custom the use 9.xx

So once I've nuked ROM and kernel do I just go ahead and run rootbox.zip or do I flash dormanx 8.xx first?
I'm guessing I have to install dormanx first as its not included In root box?
How do you classify stock based ROMs and custom ROMs?
There are currently 3 versions of this kernel depending on your ROM type and firmware. v7 = ICS, v8 = JB/ICS STOCK,*** v9 = JB CM/AOKP ONLY

PA is based from cm, aokp. cm and aokp are based on stock ROMs?

Flash rootbox then flash dormanx then reboot. Set up rootbox then bk into dormanx cwm an flash 2nd rom. Forget about dori 7.xx as it's old and out dated. That's for ics custom jb rom. Stock firmware is any thing that uses the stock base. If you want to run jb stock based rom it needs to be a modded for dual booting stock based rom.
Cm aokp pa custom roms
Ics jb firmware is stock rom
I9100/I9300
OK, I'm not planning on using any stock ROMs, as I don't like the Sammy stock ROMs. So I'll flash 9.xx?
RR, CM, PA, ROOTBOX. all custom ROMs?
If they ain't the phones stock ROM then its a custom ROM? Regardless if its based on stock android.
Sent from my GT-P5100 using xda app-developers app
So if you gonna use custom yes just use 9.xx
Cm aokp pa are custom roms.
Hybrid rom like alliance which is custom stock rom. Uses stock base but has aokp type features uses dormanx 8.xx to run. You need to read more about roms mate.

One more question, haha sorry.
When I do kernel and ROM clean. Which order is best?
ROM clean - install ROM - kernel clean - install kernel
ROM clean - kernel clean - ROM install - kernel install
I'm guessing because I am cleaning and installing everything without booting in between it doesn't matter?
Sent from my GT-P5100 using xda app-developers app
Rom cleaning script then flash rom
Reboot.
Bk to recovery then kernel cleaning script then flash kernel.
Reboot.

Thanks. Give it a bash when I get home.

I was just wondering if now that there is a 4.4.2 ota out for the DNA that it will make the custom roms more stable? I updated to it and kept root and it doesn't seem to be any different and I hate the stock ui. Want to go back to a custom Rom but they all seem to have some issue or other that gets old over time so I end up crack flashing everything on here every few days haha.

Yea I saw that a couple days ago. Guess I worded it wrong. Now that the droid has a stock 4.4.2 will the developers be able to take whatever parts they need from it to fix the bugs etc on custom roms? Or will the DNA having the 4.4.2 radio and kernels etc will it make the custom roms such as the m7 and m8 ports and Google editions of 4.4.2 more stable?
HTC did in fact release the 442 kernel source, so new 442 Roms will be stable and I can fix z and my beast mode kernel

4.4.2 Sense based ROMs definitely should be much better. The CM based ones probably not a big difference.

how about the gpe m8 port?
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?

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?

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.. ??
Yo! What do you guys think is the best combination to get reasonable battery life and good performance? Im getting 59k on antutu using AICP ROM and stock kernel. Do you think i could get more with some custom kernel ?
I am just using stock since Pure Android is what I want, with ElementalX kernel. Using ElementalX on my Nexus 6, Nexus 9, and GPE HTC One M8 and love it. I look forward to Xposed working with Android 5.1 and N9 being updated. I used to flash ROMs, but on Google devices Xposed is more then enough.

I'm on Dirty Unicorns with Fire - Ice kernel. Insanely stable and the most functional of the ROMs I have used.
As far as just running a kernel, yes you certainly can just flash the kernel w/o changing to a different ROM. But what's the point in that??

Sorry when you asked the question, I didn't realize you were already on a non stock ROM. AICP already has it's own customized kernel. Yes you can flash any other custom kernel in place of the one which comes with AICP.

Take the OTA to the latest firmware for the at&t s2 which is Android 4.1.2 and then root it using the frama root app (just search Google for it). Once rooted pick a kernel to flash in ODIN or mobile ODIN. For AOSP ROMs I think ktoonsez kernel works and for touchwiz ROMs AJ kerwick kernel works well. I recommend flashing AJ kernel first as it works with the stock Samsung ROM.
Once you have flashed AJ kernel boot into recovery which will now be CWM recovery. From there you can flash shoStock ROM or whizz cat ROM (see my guide here in the s2 forums on how to boot i9100 TW ROMs) or any AOSP ROMs you like. Just make sure you have an AOSP kernel for AOSP ROMs and a touch wiz kernel for TW ROMs. Most ROMs come with a kernel though.
