Kernel and ROM Mix/Match

Can you just mix and match a kernel with a custom ROM? Or how do I know if they are compatible, without nandroid+trial+error.
I was using stock/rooted jellybean ROM + franco kernel. I just flashed AOKP which includes it's own kernel (tuna-faux), but want to go back to franco.
Thanks for the help. I did try searching but did not find this information.

as long as the kernel supports the android version (4.0.4 or 4.1.1, etc) of the rom you are on, you're fine.

And are they backwards compatible? Can I use a 4.1.1 kernel with a 4.0.4 ROM?
Thanks for the reply!

No, you can't. Stay on the same version.

Trial and error I'm afraid. I had AOKP and flashed Franco on top and it broke a couple minor things, like Settings - Storage would FC every time with this combination. So I assumed there is a reason AOKP came with tuna-faux, it was tested on it and made for it.

aokp and cyanogen come with a kernel for their code, i think you can't flash other kernel

newer AOKP port for DHD/Inspire??

has anyone or can anyone port a newer version of AOKP for the DHD/Inspire? like milestone 1 or whichever one is newest? I personally only like aokp and not too fond of the aosp or aospx. I flashed Pacman rom but had too many problems with it.
so if anyone can port one it would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks a lot

You mean AOKP Android 4.2? We've just got an AOSP based 4.2 ROM, so I'd just be paitent for a AOKP based follow up. If not, maybe you can suggest it to synergy or RandomBlame? I believe RandomBlame already has a 4.2 ROM, but it's in its baby stages as of yet.

no a JB version 4.1 im back to running aokp release 7 from the github. but hasnt been a new one since like September.

RandomBlame is on Release 30 now, look for JellyTime in the Development forum

I don't know about 4.2 AOKP, but if it's options you want you could try cfX 4.2.

I tried aosp ROMS and cfx 4.1 but I don't like them as much as AOKP for some reason. Although I have not tried cfx 4.2 yet. Was waiting for Bluetooth to work. Also I've tried jellytime aosp and I always come back to aokp. I ran Icecoldsandwich for the longest time but I want to stay on JB and not ICS. If I actually had the time (kids,work,wife) I would try porting a newer aokp over to dhd/inspire myself but I never have time. Even dropping a deuce is apparently a "team sport" according to my kids. LOL.

bump?

cfX bluetooth works now, if that is what's still preventing you from using it.

The reason is very obvious one
AOSP - clean unbranded stock android
AOKP - unbranded android with cleanly built in to settings menu additional features like CPU OC, status bar tweaks etc.... with everything else as close as possible to AOSP.

[Q] The best Jelly Bean ROM?

Hello Guys!!
Recently I've decided to root my DHD and flash a custom ROM. I prefer Jelly Bean roms but I don't know which is the best.
So, could you recommend me which rom to use? Maybe JellyTime or MIUI rom, it doesn't matter. I just want a stable and fully working rom without bugs.
Or maybe i should use ICS rom?
Waiting for opinions

Sorry, they're not nightlies. Wrong term. But synergye releases a new build every day or two anyway so they can be counted as such.

So, codefireX is the best among JB roms? Is it better and faster than JellyTime and other roms?

It depends on which version of android you want
JellyTime for instance is 4.1.2
CodefireX is 4.2.1
I have tried them both and they are quite nice
I for obvious reasons want 4.2.1 as it is the latest version
JellyTime is a unofficial Cyanogenmod
CodefireX has its custom mods named the CodefireX Toolchain
However sins sunday someone has released an unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1 which is running on android 4.2.1.
It can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073992
Im using it right now and i am rather impressed i recommend this one .

Pesonally I prefer the 4.1.2 CodefireX Periodicals, great performance, good battery life and nearly 100% bulletproof/stable. Highly reccomended with one of these Themes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864549

Correct me wrong, but I thing that volume speaker is not working on 4.1.2. Just a word of warning to everyone!

so far i still use the JellyTime R30....i've been using this ROM since R19
on its latest version, it has good battery life, fast response, good radio even though I have to upgrade my radio to 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M
ever try install the codefirex but I forget the version (can't compare...sorry)....

I think Jellytime and Super Galaxy are one of the best JB roms out there. I have tried quite a few. Codefire X is good too but I like JB and Super Galaxy better.

They are all great roms , you should try them all before deciding. Like it was said above , official firmware upgrade for anything above 2.3.6 from Samsung doesn`t exist , you have to resort to roms if you want that.
Sorry if i missed some developer , it wasn`t intentional.

Well, Im using aokp 4.2.2 right now and it is really great. Smooth and fast. Everything works, only small issues

Yes you can try both AOSP ICS roms , really they are very good without any need for overclocking or tweaking , in my opinion. They keep about 170Mb RAM free.

Can i get Stock JB rom for Xperia Ion?

Hi guys:
My question that if we can find a stock JB rom exactly like the Nexus 4 rom but working on Xperia Ion?? And what is AKOP and AOSP roms?​

Sony not yet released any JB ROM/ Firmware for iON. It's due in May.

You will get official JB fw from the end of May.
AOSP means Android Open Source Project.
It is the "stock ROM" (or pure vanilla ROM) made by Google and is Open Source.
Lots of custom ROMs base on this rom, e.g. CyanogenMod, Panaroid Android, etc.
AOKP (Android Open Kang Projecy) is a custom ROM base on AOSP.

It depends on which ion you have. The international versions that can have the bootloader unlocked there is a CM10.0 (JB) ROM out. If you have at&t one then you're out of luck.

@ The $niper : Read the above. You were asked to check the Development section. Unless you check the development section properly, asking questions won't be helping much.

I had typed an explanation for you with the differences between all those roms, but then I figured that everything I said could be easily Google'd, and if you didn't bother doing that, I shouldn't bother explaining what every rom is and waste my time...
Just know: AOSP is stock Android (it's what's on the Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, with a bit of a different layout for the tablets). CM, AOKP, Slim Bean and Paranoid Android (you should check PA out as well) are all basically AOSP with some extra options. The only way of really knowing them all is trying them. They're all pretty much the same but focus on a different aspect (AOKP and CM are in my opinion pretty much the same though). Also every rom has some screenshots in the thread to show what's new or different, just take a look at those.
One major advantage that all of the custom roms that I mentioned have over AOSP is that they support the theme engine, so you can easily change the looks by installing a theme app. There's lots of those on the Play Store. They're a handy way of changing the looks of your phone once in a while without having to flash a new rom.

The reason why i don't search on google that i am not very good with english language so i can't ream much to find the answer....
So what you are trying to told me that CM and AOKP both are stock android roms right? I tried them both and i saw them both exactly the same , just so small defferents.
Thank you because now i know what i have to search for: "JB 4.2 from CM or AOKP".

I tried both AOKP and CM10 , but also both have the same Wifi problem , it can't find any network.​

The only difference, pretty much, is the launcher is trubutch in cm and in google aosp its googles clean rom
But cyanogen mod gives you more options
And it has the tmobile theme engine
So you can do anything with cyanogenmod and almost anything with aosp
