Custom Kernels? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I just got the Epic4GTouch and i was wondering where the heck all the custom kernels were. You know the ones that help you start intergalactic war and such? Any help lol? Thanks

So at the moment there aren't any ICS kernels for the Epic 4g Touch? Also when he says dont wipe if your are on ICS what does he mean? Dont wipe cache? what? Thanks

The stickies in Dev section has this. And i do apologize. For some reason my comprehension level has reduced significantly lately. You asked where, not what. Here's a repository done by Rwilco:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26295021
Just read about how not to brick and about the emmc bug thread. Both stickies.
And read the combination that's feared to have started the bricks again.

**** all those kernels are a lot of confusion lol im scared to brick my phone now lol. Well im running the Paranoid 2.16, could you suggest me maybe a good kernel to flash for that rom? Thanks man all your help is much appreciated!

I don't remember is paranoid ICS? If so look for agat's 0.54 kernel it's his newest one. Its perfectly safe I've personally used it several times switching between GB, ICS and JB and never once had an issue.

El26 cwm. The easiest easy i have found to keep up is just reading the thread of the ROM. I mean that in all sincerity.
When in doubt, use el26.

Yeah sorry the 2.16 is JB. So that particular kernel works with JB? Sweet Thanks brotha
Edit, it say that those kernel can only be used with TW(touchwiz) right?

EL26 CWM? Is that a stock kernel, custom? Who make that. Ill search it too! Thanks

Is right at the top of the link. Not sure if you're running the cwm6 with what you have now.
There's also the direct boot el29.
And depending on what you're doing can change recommendations.
Going from jb to jb, jb to ics, ics to whatever.. Etc.
But i stand by el26 cwm5 by chris41g if im going to recommend something.
Personally, i use agats and rj's kuban kernels. But I'm not usually running aosp or aokp builds unless i just want to try for a few hours.

No it doesn't work with JB. Your phone will not boot if you ODIN EL26 kernel. If you are looking for custom kernels for OC, UV, Governors, etc, etc for JB there are none.

Kernel Change Stock Rooted

Greetings
UVKL1 Stock ROM.
Is it possible to flash an alternate kernel build for the T989 in ROM manager or CMR, or is more needed,ie Odin the kernel etc.
i'm coming from the Vibrant, flashed kernels, ROMs on that for 18 months but like the rooted stock I have now..just looking to try another kernel and maybe jkay mod, which I know involves build prop and framework changes
Thanks from an old noob

this has everything you need to know
(this is the first video of qbking for ei22/el30)
No I'm meaning you need a stock modded for cwm to stick other wise it won't and once you odined the kernel you'll need to odin the cwm and you be fine look for the "epic gb kernel source with keyfix" by mkasick and scroll down to find the GB 3 a.tar which is the kernel and if you go to android development for the epic and go to the stickies or the "top" post find the [CWM] ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 officially supported. Find the .tar to download and just follow the instructions. If you need a video search qbking77 on youtube he's very reliable

CM10/Kernal question

Hi, and thanks to whoever takes the time to help out,
I would like to make the jump to PhantomPhreak53 CM10, and i am currently using a GB rooted ROM nothing special, and i'd like to know which kernel to download from Chris41g's list of kernels, he has so many and all have similar/different names, Please Help
Those kernels are only for cm9. Won't work with cm10. Just use the one that's packaged with the rom.

I was curious because he specifically said to make sure to have a safe kernel and then links to the page so i assumed he intended for Chris41g's kernel to be what he had in mind for flashing his ROM, so your basically saying, i'm good to go without installing a kernel for good measure ?
No off you want a safe kernel download el29 direct boot and install it via Odin and then use that to flash cm10.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
All GB Kernels are inherently safe so flash away. The new Kernel will be installed as part of the new Rom install

El29 direct boot was made specifically for flashing ics based roms. You can find it on the epic touch cm9 blog. Just do a Google search for it.

pretty much yea..

Can I 1-click a previous repack?

So I installed an EL29 repack on my boss' phone and I was thinking about getting him up to date on GB08. Can I just 1-click over the top of what he has? Or do I need to unroot him first?

One clicks clear everything. It will do no harm to use that. Now if you were planning to flash a custom ROM in CWM, that would be different.
Are you flashing the entire ROM and modem? Jb kernels and modems will not work with ics or gb.
You'd have to read the threads associated with the builds to find that out though...
Seems like a lot of questions that have obvious answers from someone with your "experience"
Why not flash him to CM10?

Flashing modems?

Ok now that I'm confident in my ability to flash ROMS and Kernels in the new Linux 3.0 & 3.4 versions that came with JB, is there anyone who could help me out with finding modems and flashing them and what each modem is for and etc? I really don't understand the new system as i came over from the OG EVO and from what i understand thus far, its not exactly the same as flashing radios as it was with GB or ICS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried looking through stickies but couldnt find anything.

Posts #1 through #5 where you will find links to modems. LJ7 and MD4 seem to work best. But these devices are not like HTC devices so don't put that much concern into it.

Ok, was just curious about that. I know about the nandroid backup and all. Its basically the same as it was with the old aosp/sense system. But thanks a lot for your help. And hopefully I'll see an improvement in my signal strength and quality. Do you have any other tips that could help?

Nope other than stick to TW roms, signal strength will be better and lte, 3g exchange is much better.

Yea well it wouldnt make too much of a difference with 3G and LTE considering I'm in an area that doesnt have LTE coverage yet. And just curious here, but the synergy port from verizon IS considered a TW rom right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
yeah no lte it makes no difference. I don't know about synergy but just look in the OP it's either TW, AOSP or AOKP. If you don't have to flash gapps it's TW.

Since the update to the 3.4.x kernel the scripts don't work anymore. Flash a TW ROM and follow those instructions
