Is is possible to make a kernel which can be used with multiple ROMs. I do not mean dual booting and all, but able to boot stock ROM and CM7, for instance. Currently, I need to flash the respective kernel while switching from CM7 to stock and vice versa.
it would be great
Bump!

hi all !
i just flashed cm 10.1 official and it is great so far except for the superuser issue
so i tried to flash a franco kernel as i always do , franco r325 and all my phone went dead force crashing everywhere , without panicking i formatted my phone and i downloaded the r345 kernel but it seems to be an img file something cwm can't flash so i decided to try trinity kernel but i am not sure which is made for 4.2 so i am not taking the risk of flashing a random one then it struck me ...why do i even need to flash kernels anyway? isn't stock kenel the same? so can someone enlightnen me?
Custom kernels allows you to overclock and undervolt the CPU and GPU.
Some custom kernels also add extra features that a stock kernel does not have; fast charge mod, kernel sound mod etc.
kernels control pretty much every aspect of your device. they connect your cpu to your os and hardware. custom kernels add functuality that isnt included with the stock kernel, as well as performance and battery enhancements. google the the word kernel or linux kernel for more info.
now about your issue.. cm made some modifications that made many custom kernels non bootable on cm. franco kernel in the img format isnt flashable via recovery but is flashable via fastboot or the franco kernel app. trinity kernels latest 4.2.1 kernel is alpha10, but the 4.1.2 kernels also run on 4.2.1.
Hi, i wanted for sometime go back to gingerbread, so im looking for good custom rom based on it... also work with stock kernel... thanks
when flashing a custom kernel, does it matter what rom you're on, for example aosp or touchwiz, does the custom kernel have to be specifically made for that rom?

Yes your Question has the answer, If you are having AOSP rom you cant flash TW kernel on it Vice Versa
Hi. I just want to clear things up. I'm running on stock KitKat Rom on my F240k. Question is, regarding custom roms, can I flash a custom rom that's based on JB without having to flash a stock JB on my device? or vice versa? Thanks in advance.

You can flash ANY custom rom as long as you perform a full wipe (including system partition format) before installing the final custom rom you want. That is at least in my experience.
