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.

After flashing Merruk Kernel 1.08 my headphones aren't detected anymore, tested with different headphones and the FM radio app. It always says that no headphone was detected. Flashing back to complete stock ROM incl. kernel fixed the problem so i guess it's because of the custom kernel. Anyone else has this problem and/or knows a fix?
did you also use a custom rom while using the kernel? Galaxy Y roms are bugged with the headphones..
No, I only changed the kernel (beside installing CWM but that shouldn't matter).
I found that there's a kernel module called bcm_headsetsw.ko in stock rom but in merruk's kernel's system files it's named bcrm_headsetsw.ko. Maybe just a typo which causes the kernel not to load it?
Hi
i am having a problem with MIUI rom JB version and any custom kernels than the one that comes with the rom boot.img like LuPus CM1o kernel or Fusion CM10 kernel after flashing the kernel wifi modules in recovery the wifi work for sometime then it stop working and i need to restart the phone so it work again for couple of minute and stop working, i need to flash any of those custom kernels coz they allowing overclocking and other features any ideas
thanks
Hi, i was wondering if the Eternity custom kernel will work on stock and custom roms. The kernel seems to have various improvements to the CPU and GPU including 1.7GHz overclock. Found here: http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/48-eternityproject-kernel-34-for-htc-one-x-endeavoru/
Also has anyone used a custom kernel and thought it was better than stock?
Cheers
It will only work on ICS ROMs but an update to JB compatibility is in progress.
Thanks for the answer, i will be happy to wait Looks a good kernel.
I have tried n3o kernel and xm kernel for aosp but to no avail. The phone stops on boot screen. Is there any kernel that will work or maybe I'm not doing it right? I always fast boot flash boot boot.IMG and then flash modules from recovery. Thanks.
Are you using Aosp based? There is a repacked Xm kernel in the Miui multi language, that I believe has S2W. I used it about a month ago.
I am currently on 5.1.1 running the latest Liquid Smooth Rom and wanted to flash a custom kernel onto my phone. I am not sure which one to download or is there even a custom kernel for the rom that I am using. If there is can someone send a link to me so i can flash a custom kernel. I waned a custom kernel so i could overclock and fast charging.

LiquidSmooth actually ships with a custom kernel, Deathly, but I don't remember it supporting overclocking.
DKP is the only kernel for the S3 updated to android 5.1 I know of that supports OC.
