I use Philz Touch recovery...Should be good for a lil while beings its a discontinued project i believe for the time being. You also have T.W.R.P. which is another good recovery. If asking which is better? Its up to one to make that decision for themselves . All your answers are in the development section so have at it, read up and pick what best fits you my friend.

I agree with GOAT1378 Philz is the one I use version 6.12.9 has been bulletproof for me here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ as for an AOSP rom you might consider the AOSP C-rom here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2739968 team it up with LeanKernel v 3.6 AOSP build here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2488233 then toss in only the Google apps you want here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2397942 and that's about as lean and debloated as it gets!!!

So I'd like to give back a little and attempt something for myself. I've been using CWM touch recovery on AOKP and was simply wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how to change the recovery image included in each kernel and ultimately create my own flashable zip. I'm fine regarding the latter but have no idea where to start with the former.
Any links or advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

There is a GB version but not ICS version. I have seen and have been using a zip that uses the CM9 20/02 kernel as a base with Touch Recovery but figured I'd try and keep it up to date if I could figure out how to do it myself. Thanks though!
Might be updated when ICS is released .

So I've never flashed this device before, and I got it today but I'd like a custom ROM flashed to it.
Could someone point me to the following:
-A working ODIN link for this device
-A custom ROM (GB) that has all working features (camera, etc) and is built for the INTL 5.0 version (I've been looking at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144)
-A guide for getting CWM recovery.
Cheers.
This thread has all the info you are looking for.

I personally have used the Eryigit rom you linked and it works fine.
Have fun.
I would stay away from Cyanogen and its variations right now if you want everything to work. CM7 has issues with wifi (and other stuff) and CM9 has no HW Acceleration -kernel issues.
Pretty much any rom based on stock is a safe bet.

Check in the custom kernel section and download the kernel according to your device.
Look in the thread cvcduty posted in the custom kernel section. The kernels have CWM packaged with them. You'll need Odin to flash them. If you search the forums you'll probably find a link for Odin... or google it
Make sure you use the rigth kernel for your specific device. The 5" and 4" are different and there are two versions of the 5". Not sure if there is more than one version of the 4" or not.

Thanks mate, that's what I wasn't sure about. If I happen to flash the wrong kernel I can overwrite it with the correct one as usual, correct? and it's Odin3 v1.3 I need, isn't it?
All sounds right to me. Even with a bad kernel you'll have download mode to fall back on.

Thanks, just flashed it and got a boot loop.
Edit: Could be because I flashed a GB kernel while still on froyo, I best revert to stock kernel and do a KIES update first
Edit2: Tried to go stock but still a boot loop -_-
This has gone, extremely well...
/sarcasm
I just downloaded Odin 1.3 and flashed Entrophy's DD as we discussed. No issues on my device - as i anticipated because this is how I did mine initially. Which model do you have? Another question, did you try to boot into CWM after you flashed the kernel (VolUp + Power). If you can get into CWM then your good to flash whatever ROM you want, even if the Stock ROM is boot-looping.

I just installed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579774
It's a rooted stock GB ROM with a custom kernel. Supports both USA and International devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
Check out this thread again. It has most of the ROMs listed as "Stock Based" or "CM Based". I'm running GB.XXKPH.WT-0.4.0 for Galaxy Player 5.0 Intl & US and it seems to be a good one. Several people like Eryigit-GB-2.3.
On another note, I'm actually trying to continue ambrice's development on CM7 but can't get my build to boot.
So as I was reading some of the new roms they have tags like RootBox Jelly Bean is a "pure" AOKP/CM. I'm not sure what AOKP/CM is and when i read some of the comments they started talking about the rom being hellraised. Could someone help me understand what they mean by hellraising?

Aokp and cm are open source based roms based on vanilla androids with a few tweaks. Hell raise means the rom was originally on the i9100 but was ported to our phones

does it matter that it was designed for the i9100 vs the i7777? alos I just saw the post here that say DON NOT USE clockwork rom mangers for I7777. If we cant use that application how do we go about installing new roms?

No it doesn't, hellraising makes it 100% compatible. And you do it through recovery. If to don't know that then you have some reading to do.

Our kernels come with recovery built in. So flashing a ROM gives u the recovery.
so I went ahead and flashed to a new rom, pretty diffrent. But I noticed it doesnt seem to have goole play for downloading apps. is that normal?

Its normal if u flashed an AOSP based ROM that requires gapps to be flashed afterward.
So when I go to the apps I see an icon for goo. In when I click that there is an option to download gapps. When I download it, it askes if I want to flash. Do I reflash?
nm, IM still pretty new to this. when i tred flashing the one that they had in the goo.im manger i think it was the wrong version since it just keep crashing the apps so I can to the newest version and now it seems to work. this new rom is kinda cool!
THanks for you guys help
im sure ill be back with more questions
Hello guys, I have a question regarding this MIUI ROM
http://translate.google.co.in/trans...a=X&ei=XqZNUKyCCcXqrQey7IHQAg&ved=0CCIQ7gEwAA
check out the link and scroll down, Galaxy S3 i9300 is supported and is currently based on 4.1 Jellybean
I now wonder how I can install the rom to my S3, and what do I need to flash it.
I'm also curious about the ROM's bugs, is there any if ever? is it stable?
since this one came directly from MIUI devs, I thought this one would be better?
I really like the simplicity of the ROM, I also wonder if the its okay to flash the kernel fix in this rom so I will not have the Sudden death issue?
I hope you guys can answer all of my questions ~
thanks a lot in advance!
1) To install a custom rom you need custom recovery..clockworkmod recovery is the best...search in posts for cfroot+cwm(clockworkmod)..
Steps to install will be found in its official website
2)miui rom is an excellent..it is stable...few bugs will be there...even the official release has bugs...but a very few only..
3) kernel fix is safe and is recommended to prevent dead devices
Hope it helps...

It's not. You need to try them for yourself to decide which one is the best for you.
I prefer TWRP

That s true.
I like CWM better because of the sobriety.
TWRP is more feature-rich, but a little more messy UI wise, in my opinion
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.. ??
