[Q] Custom Kernel for the Stock 4.2.2 Rom

Just update to Takju 4.2.2 with the stock kernel. Functions are limited with the stock kernel. Any recommedations of which custom kernels that are battery friendly, overclocking possiblility and/or better wifi reception?

Just flashed stock 4.2.2 and flahsed franco r365. Seems that the battery is better than before. I will report in the next days.

All kernels aim to give better battery life while not sacrificing too much performance.
Kernels need a little while to settle down so try one out and give it a day before passing judgment and if it doesn't give desired results for your rom and device then try another.

I've had a ton of success with AK kernels. Morfic and LeanKernel too, but lately the AK ones seem the best for me. I run a custom ROM tho, and I've seen that a lot of folks really like Morfic on stock 4.2.2.
If you're on VZW or Sprint, you may have to flash the GPU binaries to be able to install a true 4.2.2 kernel, otherwise you're phone wont boot and you'll have to reflash a 4.2.1 kernel to get back up and running.
I know Tiny (he's got a great kernel too) posted this flashable binary, in case this helps. Here's the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38034158&postcount=22

[Q] Out of the loop for a while.

I've had CM10 on my GS3 for while now, ever since December I believe. Even before then, I didn't do much in the way of ROM stuff or even coming here to XDA. I've recently flashed back to Blazer ROM in order to PRL/Profile update and I'm seeing all of this stuff about update MB1.
Could anyone recommend me a ROM similar to Blazer that is based on MB1?

Just go through the development section and find one that catches your eye
SPRINT GS3 FAQ

Thanks for the reply. I did look through the list of ROMs.
I was digging more for personal opinions, though.

I haven't flashed a TW-based Rom in quite a while. If you really like Blazer Rom and don't really care for the update from LJ7 to MB1, you can just edit the build.prop to disable the OTA notifications. It's easy to do, and CNexus has a good tutorial on his OTA Guide Sticky Thread.
Other than that, after looking through the Developer's Thread, most of the Roms there offer similar experiences to Blazer Rom. A lot of the custom Mods incorporated in Blazer are pretty standard on TW-based Roms nowadays. Blazer might have had a really stable, battery-saving reputation, but with most MB1 Roms you can get really good battery life (even without flashing a custom kernel, although they can help a great deal with battery life).
After all that, I haven't done what you asked, which is point you in the direction of one (or two) Roms you'd like. I honestly am not able to. If you really want some TW MB1 Rom suggestions, I'd start with the following (in no particular order):
The People's Rom
Clean Bean
Goodness Reborn
MOAR Rom
Team Venom Odex Blue Holy Grail
And there are a lot of other great Roms out there. You can see my sig for my curent setup. It's AOSP-based and has been running really solid recently.

I downloaded stock rooted and CleanBean, so I'll probably check out CleanBean. The only reason I want to update to MB1 is the multi-window. Outside of that, something that has good battery life and allows me to switch the CPU governor to conservative.

Just so you're aware, the MA6 and MB1 updates did not include multi-window. All of the Roms with multi-window are based on the international update, which included the Premium Suite.
It does not change your assessment, as LJ7 (and prior) Roms won't have multi-window, but it's just so you're aware that stock MB1 Roms won't have any of the premium suite additions.

If you flash an MB1 rom that doesn't have multiwindow, there's a flashable that adds that feature to any stock-based MB1 rom

Best kernel+ROM combo for my AT&T Galaxy S3

Recently i got the AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 I747 STOCK JELLY BEAN ON 4.1.1 from GALASXY S2 SKYROCKET (at&t) also but i need the best combo (kernel+ROM) but its hard to find one
here is what am looking for:-
- good, stable DATA/MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION (MUST HAVE) IMPORTANT
- bloatware free
- fast/overclocking
- easy/not too complex that will fup my phone
- anything that i have not mentioned is relevant too
- other great features like Bravia engine, goo manager, extra features that make it more awsome
- cyanogenmod stable qualities (bug free) sleek, smooth, fast UI and transitions
any kind of idea is valid, open to every suggestion

If you are looking for a touchwiz ROM, go try S3Rx. If you are looking for a pure android based ROM, go for Task's AOKP. I think those are some of if not the best Roms of their kind.

That's for you to experiment and decide not everyone has the same experience on a rom.
Just make a backup of your current setup and start flashing away.

Trial and error.
I may be new here but I know enough, To tell you no one is going to answer your question. A Rom that works for one person is not necessarily the same Rom that will work for another. Flashing Rom's is about hopefully stability, if your lucky speed and battery life, but most importantly about customization. I just started flashing Roms and am still looking for the one I want. I'm sure as soon as I find it a new release will come out and I will get to start over again. As for Kernels I am not comfortable enough to delve into that yet...Good luck...

Best S3, non touchwiz ROM I have found is SlimBean. Not as flashy as some but rock solid/stable with the best battery life I have found so far. Like CM, it is backed by team of devs versus some roms that just have chefs that mix/match/blend features together.

i have been on that PATH as in trying different ROMS but once i tried several i completely fup my DATA/mobile network, i would text and call but my internet (not to be confused with WIFI) stopped working and yu know as a tech savvy guy yu gotta try everything little trick yu know to fix it but there was nothing
forced to use wifi until the day i bought the AT&T S3 and i have my data internet connection working again
i need a ROM that doesnt leave me with no DATA CONNECTION
restoring from nandroid backups helps and sometimes it might not work , other than CM which other ROMS THAT CAN KEEP UP WITH MY DATA CONNECTION

Glad to here it. I have not been brave enough to get into kernel flashing yet. Can you tell me was it a simple flash? How do you revert back to a stock kernel? I here there is a lot of tweaking to do with some kernels? Was Ziggy's pre-set?

You just flash it the same way you do with a ROM. Remember you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the kernel and if you dirty flash roms, you have to reflash the kernel each time because the stock kernel overwrites it. You revert back to stock kernel by flashing the ROM again or finding the kernel zip and flashing it separately. You can undervolt and overclock with a different kernel that allows it.

[Q] ktoonsez TW 4.1.2 kernel

Ive been searching XDA for the TW 4.1.2 ktoonsez kernel, but I cant find it. can anyone link to a working download for the T-mobile S3? Thanks

LuigiBull has a massive thread with every version of that kernel. Including the one you are after. But my advice is to avoid the TW version. It's not good, stock is much better.

Thanks. I know I've seen that thread somewhere but I couldn't find it. I'm running goosh Rom and it's great but I wanted to try the ktoonz kernel since I've heard so much about it. Is there another TW kernel for 4.1.2 that would be good, or are all TW kernels not that great?

faux has one. I tried it and wasn't impressed. I keep going back to the stock MD5 kernel. I've heard the AT&T MG2 kernel is good, but I've never used it.

Looking for mostly stock ROM

I am coming from the Note 2 and on that phone I used RWilcos Mostly Stock ROM which is basically just the stock ROM with small tweaks, root, bloatware removed etc.
It did not have any bugs that effected the functionality which I've seen with other ROMs (CM etc).
Does anyone have a recommendation for a 100% functional stable ROM almost that won't remove all the great Note features but still have the added features and performance, battery life , root etc of the custom ROMs?
Thanks for any help.

First of all, is the phone new and already updated to stock 5.1.1?
If so you have a locked bootloader (but still have options) .
If you have 5.0.1 or older version your in luck.

CM and ports require more attention whether it be developer, user or both.
Stock-like TW narrows it down for you. IMO, the two most active and capable developers in TW for Sprint Note 4 are tx_dbs_tx and freeza. They both have released very stock and also modified ROMs. Then there's OBAR that got a lot testing and users as well to make sure the bugs were squashed; still has support and also user community support.
If you don't want to get into kernel tweaking but want something with default and optimization out of the box- better than stock, consider freeza's Beastmode kernel or the newer Rage kernel that is integrated in Note 4our ROM (Don't be put off by the beta; it's stable but more customization is expected). Otherwise, take your pick and run the included kernel or choose another custom Android 5.1.1 kernel like AEL or Emotion for Sprint Note 4.
Personally, I prefer freeza's kernel. I've posted some battery stats in freeza's Beastmode kernel and Note 4our ROM threads.
I couldn't narrow it any further than this. You'd have to decide yourself or try as many as you like to make a definitive decision. Lots of choices and opinions vary; that's a good thing.

Which one of freeza's kernels gives better battery? Have you compared them to AEL? I'm using AEL 6.2,and while it has decent battery, it lags a bit.

IMO, they're equal on battery.
Rage may be slightly better on multitasking but there's extra scripts in play with the integrated ROM.
No lag but I've ran freeza kernels since Beastmode because they're close to stock with no setup to tweak.
Prior to that, I preferred stock kernel but thanks to Samsung, can't run it with root anymore. No recent compare to AEL or Emotion.
