Hi,
When flashing a new ROM, say CM12, do you get a new kernel?
Yes, typically roms have their own built-in rom. Depending on the rom, you can flash a different kernel afterwards.

I'm led to believe that you can't flash any kernel with any ROM. Is this true, or can I flash any Vibrant kernel with any ROM?

Yes its true. You can flash any rom/kernel combo of the same os such as froyo/froyo or gingerbread/gingerbread with the exception of MIUI and CM7 kernel which will only work for those roms.

So say for example, if I were to flash the Platypus kernel while on MIUI 1.5.27, it wouldn't be a problem?

as long as the kernel is labeled with CM7/MIUI in the title, then it's safe to flash to a CM7/Miui rom.
OK thanks.

How would I flash a kernel in recovery? Do I rename the kernel to "update.zip" or just leave it as is and "install zip from sdcard"?
clockwork recovery?
if so then it doesn't really matter
Name will be irrelevant when you flash from recovery. As you stated, just go to Install from Zip, then Choose Zip file, then pick it out. No specific name is required. "update.zip" is only required when you are trying to initially flash CWM Recovery onto your phone. Otherwise, files for ROMs, Kernels, Modems, etc. can have whatever name as long as they are a .zip file.
And SGS Kernel Flasher, free on the market, is easier.

So I have been using ICS Crumble which it has it's own kernal. And Now I want to use a different rom that uses a different kernal. How would I do this safely?
If it is a CM9 ROM from the development forum then you can just flash it. The kernel will be replaced automatically

But wouldn't that cause boot looping if i use odin since after I'm done it'll reboot? Or should I just use
Recovery to put them both? If so should I do the kernal first?

Which ROM are you trying to flash? If it is Odin flash able then it will just replace the kernel you currently have. You will only have issues if you flash a ROM without an inbuilt kernel

Is it safe to dual boot custom ICS rom and custom jellybean ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes.
Just make sure that both roms work with the kernel you're using - Siyah 4.1.5 doesn't work with some of the latest JB roms.
I'm on revolt 2.5 and I wanted to install RR ICS because some apps don't work on jb. So it should be safe with RR 2.6?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
It should be fine if the roms both work with the kernel you're using.
Do a nandroid first though.
I don't know Why Kernel files must be flashed for custom ROM's ?
Since I have used many Roms without flashing kernel zip files! !
I have met no problems! !: :thumbup::thumbup:

They dont HAVE to be flashed. Some kernels are preffered over the default kernel. Its all about user preference. No 2 kernels are exactly the same.

Every rom comes with a kernel, otherwise you would not boot. You only need to flash a different kernel if it will add any features you find useful.

Some one don't like the kernel came up with rom that's they tried different kernel's for different use.

You r trying to say that kernels are optional. !!

Tell some suitable, stable, more efficient kernels which will be more helpful for users like me!

We are saying switching kernels are optional. As for picking one, the decision is totally up to you. Just try some to find what fits your needs.

Not all kernel suitable for all rom.find appropriate kernel before flashing.
So I flashed the Dirty Unicorn ROM that is apparently AOSP and Android 4.3.1. They have a custom kernel you can install that allows you to do many awesome features. I'm new to android and don't know much about these things, so my question is can anyone help me by telling me how do I install that custom kernel? Thanks!

Download and flash it like any ROM.

I'm pretty sure Dirty Unicorns comes with the kernel built in.

So just go to CWM Recovery and flash it? Would I need to wipe everything again even though I'm already on the ROM?

Yes to the first part and no to the second. You could just wipe caches after flashing it, but even that isn't needed.
