[Q] Does flashing a rom change the kernel and modem? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Does flashing a rom change the kernel and modem?
If not what kernel and modem should I be running if using the JB alphas? What about stock ICS?

Kernel = usually but not always
Modem = no unless its a stock rom
If you are running a jb rom its usually best to stick with the included kernel. ICS roms have Agat and Kuban kernel that are both current. I have only ever ran agat kernel.

Flashing a rom will change the kernel, it will get changed to whichever one is packaged in the rom.... But it will not change the modem unless you use one of those One click odins

Blazer kernel question

I'm currently on blazer 4.1 with stock kernel and want to try out gunslinger kernel. Though If I am not happy with gunslinger how would i go back to stock kernel that came with blazer 4.1?

Simply download the stock kernel from here and flash the same way you install Gunslinger, after flashing kernels update your profile and prl in system settings.

flashing from recovery will not install the kernel ever. You have to flash the kernel from pc, then rom from recovery.
if using a kernel NOT given by default with the ROM it will likely need repacking and you would additionally have to flash the appropriate modules

[Q] How do I get stock kernel back?

How can I get my stock kernel back? Or does flashing a ROM change the kernel? I don't really understand kernels yet in terms of compatibility, and such. I just don't want to brick my phone, so I'm making sure I do it right.
Roms usually involve a kernel already built in, check the OP description.
For example if you are on cm10 and flash the ktoonsez aosp kernel, then later flash a nightlie build, the kernel will be overwritten with the one built in cm10. You have to reflash the ktoonsez again afterwards if you want to use it.
So if you want stock kernel, flash a stock ROM with built in stock kernel.

Make sure the kernel you flash is sourced from the same source as your ROM, ie any TouchWiz LG8 ROM needs to have an LG8-sourced kernel - custom or stock.

Kernel is bundled in the ROM do there is no need to flash kernel separately unless you want a different kernel.
