[Q] serious question guys!!!! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

can i flash the darkside kernel in cwm like a regular flash even tho im running jugg 5.0. or would i have to be running darkside rom??

Yes you can flash different kernels over the default kernel for that rom. I know there are a number of people running this setup. One thing to keep in mind is the kernel is not developed for the rom and you may run into a few issues but overall you should be good to go.

It can cause issues best to wipe if you want 100% sure you are gonna be error free.

It can, if you're have force closes or weird errors. But it won't make it any faster than it already is, ect.

If it's the same exact build of the rom, and you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing it, 90% of the time you're okay. It's if you don't wipe cache's, or if it's a different build by the same developer, when you run into issues. However, if you do flash it over, and get weird issues and what not, a full wipe and reflash is in order.

Proper way to flash rom and kernel

What is the proper sop to flash a new rom and kernel what should I be wiping? Thanks

For best results always do a full wipe in recovery (wipe data, cache and dalvik cache) then flash the ROM or kernel. This is really important if you are changing from one ROM to another. Updating one ROM to a new version of the same ROM does not require any wiping but sometimes the ROM developer recommends a full wipe.
Dalvik cache wipes are also optional but important if going one kerenl to a completely different one.

If I may, the marked text above is misleading; no need whatsoever to be wiping data before flashing a kernel.

actually, to avoid funny weird things and numerous user inflicted problems..
I would almost enforce wipe so ppl can post proper bug reports..

Factory reset for a kernel? Nah, come on. If you're flashing a totally different kernel than the one you have, yes, wipe cache & dalvik. But at most that.

o, i was just following what he way saying with sentiments..
yes, kernel isn't required but depending on the kernel dev, some do leave boot up scripts behind though and not just init.d scripts from past experiences.

[Q] how flash kernel? i'm a newbie

hi all, I have a nexus gt-i9250 this unlock and root for wugfresh, i install the rom aokp build 27 but my question is I want to flash james bond 1.4ghz kernel to flash a kernel is the same process as a rom or different process, sorry my English is not my native language and I'm a newbie
thanks a lot
same process. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) and you're good to flash!

Check my sig for more info if you ever need it.
But yes, same process.
Don't wipe data/factory reset.
Just wipe cache and dalvik cache (in advanced)
Edit:
Ninja'd.
sorry I'm wrong, i install the rom apex, has custom kernel imoseyen, now I can install the james bond, with the same process or when I have a custom kernel is different process
thanks and sorry
Nope, it is still the exact same process as everyone else mentioned. The file for the kernel will only contain what is necessary for it and replace just the kernel.
What are kernels? Which one should I get and why? I am a newbie too. I also have AOKP.

This is a kernel. You can get any one your heart desires, everybody has different preferences. LeanKernel and Franco are the most popular I would say. But the stock AOKP kernel is good.

[Q] Custom Roms / Kernel Questions

I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-1747) that is running stock with root.
I have rooted my phone using the samsung toolkit located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
Since that toolkit flashed a CWM Based recovery I have installed ROM Manager and flashed CWM Recovery version 6.0.1.2
My questions are..
- with my current setup.. am I technically running the "Stock" samsung kernel?
- why would you want to flash a different kernel to your phone?
- and is it necessary to flash a different kernel in order to use certain custom roms?
- At first I was leaning towards flashing CM10 nightly but the more I look at it.. I want to flash PARANOIDANDROID 2.22 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818199
Is this rom fully compatible with my AT&T phone? and since i'm running stock with root, do I need to do anything special before flashing this rom? Factory reset? Wipe Data? I've already made a full nandroid backup.
Thank you!
- with my current setup.. am I technically running the "Stock" samsung kernel? I believe so
- why would you want to flash a different kernel to your phone? Different kernels do different things.. some have better batter life.. some let you OC and UC..
- and is it necessary to flash a different kernel in order to use certain custom roms?Well sometimes.. Well technically.. most kernels will work with most of the ROMS out there.. as long as you stay withing your phones threads.. But some ROMs have a kernal with them.. and some ROMS you need to flash your own kernel..

Thank you for the reply.
On the rom i'm wanting to flash for my SGH-i747 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818199
The steps for flashing are as follows:
CWM: Install Zip: Rom: Download Here Make sure the file you download is PA-2.22-d2att.zip
CWM: Install Zip: Gapps: Download (These are the new ones)
CWM: Wipe Data/Factory Reset
CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot and edit your Apps Dpi & Layout under Settings/Paranoid Settings - DO NOT RESTORE YOUR OLD PROPERTIES FOR NOW
Would i need to wipe data, factory reset, then also wipe dalvik cache BEFORE I install the rom and gapps since i'm running stock with root?
Thank you
i'm also reading that for paranoidandroid you must first flash CM10 then flash paranoid.. is this accurate?
umm.. not sure where you saw that you need to flash a CM rom before flashing the paranoid ROM..
I believe the Paranoid rom is based off CM
The instruction on the link you have, in my opinion, is wrong..
The way that i flash my roms is...
Wipe data/factory reset..
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Format/Data
Fomat/System ( i think deletes backups) only do in emergency.aka optional step
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps.
THATS IT
Some people will wipe cache afer flashing a rom..
But if you wipe data/factory reset i believe deletes the ROM...

If you are already running CM10 then you don't need to wipe Cache. Just dalvik and data. Im pretty sure thats what was confusing, since this is based off of CM10.

yeah, I just keep reading and reading.. probably making this out to be more difficult than it really is just don't want to end up with a brick or anything.
I'm already on stock + root + latest CWM so I just need to put the files on my phone and flash but I believe these are the steps i need to take:
1- Download ROM and Gapps to internal sd card
2- Boot phone into recovery
3- WIPE Cache/Delvik/Data factory reset> Mounts and Storage- format system
4- Flash ROM and Gapps

[Q] [Arc S] Installing any JB - same problem

I have a problem with the installation of JB. No matter what ROM I install, after boot, when home screen appear, my touch screen does not respond. I've tried a lot of roms and a lot of kernels. I have unlocked BL. In stock rom I have no problems.
What could be causing this? Should I format system before installing rom via recovery or just wipe data, cache and dalvik? When I should flash kernel? Before/after installing rom? I care about CM10. Plz help.
P.S. sorry for my english

I've tried to do that way but but not succeed
Certain ROMs require phone-specific patch, make sure you install it!
Other ROMs have different downloads for different phones, make sure to download correct one!
If you install wrong phone ROM, touch dies.
All question threads belong here in Q&A so please post in the correct sections going forward.
Thanks

The problem is caused by the kernal. You MUST have JB kernel to flash any JB ROM. Generally, for each ROM you will find the recommended kernel and the required steps. Do exactly like posted by OP.
As an example, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979829
You can make an idea on the steps to follow.

Ok, so now I have installed Xperia T rom (7.0.A.3.195 v6.0 for ARC/ARC-S). Should I flash V77 baseband, then flash kernel from CM10 FXP150 pack via fastboot, make a wipe (data, cache, dalvik) then install ROM via Recovery, and then install GAPPS and it should work? This is what i'm gonna do, so if I'm wrong please tell me.
EDIT:
(edited in case someone had same problem)
I found the solution:
I had to flash BB 72 and libs, then flash ROM+GAPPS and libs once again, then everything works awesome. (edited in case someone had same problem)
