Okay I noticed this from very early development of any Jellybean Rom, like Paranoid Android, then CM10 kangs, then CNA up till 3.4.1 ( thought it would have cleared up by now). Every time I unlock the device it flashes red. I'm not sure how to explain this without sounding insane but here it goes. I unlock the device and it flashes red for a split second then the lockscreen comes up just fine. Doesn't happen every time but I notice the more I stay on one Rom the more frequently it happens to the point that by the second day it always happens. The flash happens only on about 2/3 of the screen diagonally. Happens way to quick for a screenshot but it's defiantly noticeable and annoying. Thanks for any help.
fyi...
I wiped
CNA 3.4.1
Franco.Kernel r246.
I have not noticed that when flashing to Cyanogens CM10.

That's what happens when you use custom colors in a kernel. That's the color profile being applied.
Don't use custom (Trinity, etc) colors and you won't get the flash.
I have seen a red flash once or twice but don't know which ROM it was in or whether it was a Roms stock kernel or the only other kernel I have ever used which is trinity.
I have tried out several Roms including...
Androidme
liquid
CNA
Rasbean

I want to thank all of you for your replies. i am running franco.kernel r246 w/ 384gpu, i will try with the stock kernel just to make sure it's not the kernel as i've never had problems w/ farnco's kernel. i will try new cm10 builds & i will do some tests to further investigate what could be causing the red flash. i believe it's related to the lockscreen shortcuts but am not sure completely. thanks.

Is it necessary to flash a Kernal after flashing a custom rom ?
I am thinking of flashing CM 9 or Liquid Rom. Which is the best kernal to flash with them.
-The correct spelling is kernel.
-It is not necessary to flash a new kernel with a rom. In general roms will package the stock kernel unless they note otherwise.
-I am personally a fan of leankernel because of the mission statement behind its development and the accessibility and speed of its update cycle.
Nope. Custom roms have kernels included, so you are not required to download a separate kernel. However, some kernels run better (ie, more fluid, less heat, reboots, etc) than others on the same device. It all depends on the silicon in your phone. If you plan to run cm9, I recommend sticking with the default kernel. If you're going with Liquid, use imoseyon's leankernel (the default) or franco kernels.
Edit: BTW, I highly recommend franco's kernel app, especially if you are new to the scene. It can download & install either franco or imoseyon kernels, making kernel flashing stupid easy. It also lets you overclock & undervolt, change governors and tweak color settings. And it is the easiest way to keep up with nightly/experimental builds. Not to mention it shows your support and encourages more development.

finally going to try Liquid Smooth 1.25 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555667)
along with Franco.Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341)
...... One last question Which Franco Kernel to flash there are Milestone 2, Milestone 1, Nightly ??? Whats the difference between them ?
Also when installing extras for liquid smooth do i need to wipe everything again .. I am new to this flashing stuff
and does Liquid Smooth comes with a kernel if so which one ?
Latest milestone is the most stable. Nightlies are experimental. And no need to wipe.

@cldwar
Liquid + franco is a great choice. Liquid is an extremely polished rom. Very, very smooth with absolutely ZERO lag (it is called Liquid Smooth for a reason) and lots of customization & tweaking options. franco kernel pushes the smoothness to another level. Liquid & franco are both awesome devs who have been tinkering with android for a long time, and they both know their stuff.
Liquid comes with imoseyon's leankernel, which is a solid kernel (obviously, or Liquid wouldn't have included it in the rom). imoseyon is another well-known & respected dev that churns kernels at a dizzying rate. He must develop in his sleep. A lot of people prefer his leankernel, and you really can't go wrong with it. But like I said before, it really depends on your device. Your phone picks the kernel, not you. Milestones are the most stable versions. Nightlies are bleeding edge experimentals with the latest patches & tweaks that may or may not improve battery or performance. Since you are new to flashing, you might want to go with milestone 2 for a few days and see how it feels. On the other hand, you could jump in balls deep and go with the latest nightly/experimental
And you don't need to wipe anything before flashing the extras package.

infact if you flash yakju then you will get OTA as well. if you are in japan you can flash a japan radio on top of the rom.

Kernal?
I have been researching the many different kernels out there all day. I have been running GummyNex ROM's since I rooted my GNex. I really do like the options he has. I forget which version, but the battery life was amazing (which included the baked in kernel). I flashed to .0.9 and recently 4.0.4 1.0.1 and the battery life is like a V-12 Lamborghini. I just flashed a Franco Kernal and am hoping this fixes my battery drain issues.
Something has to give......

You might be on Alpha 29 or a lower version based on the timestamps on Morfic's site:

I am on A43, I think A37 introduced tweaks in color, I would recommend upgrading to that atleast.
Make sure you choose the proper kernel, ICS or CM.

Yea you got it, CM roms need CM kernels, Stock roms need Stock kernels.
If you are on the Wicked Rom, it is based off the Stock Rom, so download the stock kernel:

hi,
i know asking what rom is better is not a good questions as it is different for different people. However, I just want to know what is the most stable, so once I flash it i dont need to keep re flashing.
I am ussualy a fan of CM and when they get stable releases I flash them and then dont need to think about it anymore. on my previous samsung galaxy S I used the CM9 RC for a long time until the stable CM9 came out and then used that.
currently there is not stable CM10 and when it comes out I will probaby use it perminently.
What JB rom can i install that will be stable to use for the next months until CM10 stable comes out?
im using stock JB right now.

Rasbeanjelly. Its the cleanest rom ever. Fast, amazing battery life and the latest aosp source. Also the nee binaries from jro03R. You should try it. It has the power widget, lockscreen targets and some more mods. If you dont like all the blue of the icons, simply flash modstorms white mod. Flash the rom + trinity/franco. The outcome is awesome performance, no slowdowns, everything just works. No reboots and sh!t. I highly recommend it.

You've already got the most stable Jelly Bean software then
stock, are you jellin, cm10.
after those you get into roms with more features and and there tends to be little bugs that sometimes go along with them.
Nothing against the others Ive had good experiences on alot of roms but as for the MOST stable these in my opinion would be them.
Stock ROM.
Beamed from my Grouper.
ok looking into BAMF and rasbeanjelly.
another question that could help me dicide between the two. do either have the possibility to upgrade the rom on the device without a computer. so when i install it i can always have the latest version without having to keep resetting to factory settigns and wiping all the data and cache

are you sure? becuase when i was running CM9 RC2 on my old captivate, then the CM9 stable came out. I kept checking for updates in the settings and it kept saying my software was upto date. I had to download the new file and flash it again in clockwork mod.
Hey guys,
I've noticed recently that when i flash any kernel that is compatible with my rom, it results in black screen on reboot. But its as if the phone is active in the sense that i can hear the phone make the unlock sound when i pretend to unlock it. so its all there but the screen is black.
Rom i am on currently: Carbon 4.2.2 stable release
Kernels Ive tried: BMS, KT both of which are 3.4 version needed for the rom i use.
I've cleared cache, fixed permissions, factory reset and started from scratch with installling the rom and then flashing the kernel with the same issue.
Ended up doing a restore of nandroid for phone to work. But still cant flash any kernels that I know for sure are compatible with any rom. This doesnt seem to be a rom or kernel specific issue because i've tried different combinations. Like for example i tried the aokp tasker with KT with same symptoms pr for example liquid smooth with BMS etc.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
What's the release date of your rom? Try using a kernel release of that date or earlier.

You need to use an older version of a kernel. Either 4/15 for BMS or 4/11 for KT747. The most recent builds have display commits that are required on the ROM for the display to work.
ktoonsez 4/11 release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1916103&d=1367068269
Thanks for the response guys. I've tried flashing the older version of KT kernel as suggested. Thanks for the link man. Unfortunately, the same issue again: On boot, it goes all black. The difference though is that this time while the screen is black, there is no sound response by tapping on the screen. I tried increasing the volume to see if there was any difference but still nothing.
I guess i'll be fine. The only reason i tried flashing a different kernel was so i could enable fast charge.
Thanks for the help guys.
Cheers
flash tasks 4/23 build. its stable, bug free (for me) and has the fast charge feature in addition to amazinf battery life. cheers
I searched up and down for this, but for some reason when ever I use many of the roms here my menu buttons are still active when I am in call causing me to push the search button and cause google voice search to pop up. This happens way to often.
It doesnt happen when I use the CM Windows based installer to install the rom, but the battery and performance on that is not too great.
Rushing's Roms dont seem to have this but I dont really like touchwiz, and when I try any roms with the uber kernel they all have this bug and I tried to search in those threads for this but the search engine could not find anything.
I think its UBER kernel related, but also the CM Rom with Diablo kernel does the same thing, and I looked up and down in trickster mod control for button behavior but I just cant find it.
Anyone could point me in the right direction at least?
oh come on, anyone?

been trying it out with various different combinations.
Vanilla AOKP and CM seem ok.
ThDudes's CM 10.2 + Diablo Kernel (Kernel already fused into the rom) button issue still persists, UBER Kernel flashed with TWRP on both AOKP on CM button issue persists.
but then, if I reflash vanilla AOKP or CM through TWRP the issue will still persist.
Its either the Kernel or TWRP, as you "shouldnt" flash UBER through CWP i cant quite isolate the problem.
been going back and forth quite a bit here, I would love to stick with vanilla AOKP or CM but idle battery drain is extremely excessive, and they both crash when trying to change the governor.
I am just trying to find a good stable ground to operate on as I save up for an S4 and to have a well known return point after I go on a flashing spree.
I have only been dabbling with 4.3 based roms, so I havent had the chance to try any previous version roms yet, other than Rushing's Shadow rom which was great with battery, super fast, but sadly had touchwiz which i tried to get used to but it was missing alot of the things I needed.
