quick kernel question

i apologize for my noob question in advance.
i'm new to the whole flashing ROMs/kernels and what not scene. im interested in flashing the newest energy rom and i have seen a lot of people saying that the anthrax kernel is amazing with the energy rom. i know how to flash a ROM, I'm just not sure what to do about the kernel. so i was just wondering if somebody can give me a quick tutorial on how to flash anthrax's kernel with the energy rom.
again, i apologize for my noob question. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

You flash a kernel like a rom.
Wipe, Flash the rom, flash the kernel, reboot.
Should be good after that.
Make sure the kernel is for Sense if you are using sense or AOSP if you are using AOSP.
SetCPU will let you configure the kernel.

thanks for the quick response xnotta. i just want to make sure, i wipe everything, meaning dalvik, cache, and data, right??

On energy wipe ONLY dalvik cache mount data in recovery flash kernel unmount data reboot

If you are already running the rom(Energy) then you can just wipe Cache and Dalvik then flash the kernel(anthrax).
You only need to wipe everything if you are installing the rom(Energy) fresh.
Sorry for the confusion.

If you don't do it exactly how I stated your WiFi will break and you'll lose alot of apps ect

so let me get this straight because i am doing a clean install of the energy rom, i should wipe everything, flash rom, flash kernel, then reboot? i also read something about mounting/unmounting to prevent breaking wifi, do i need to worry about that?

[Q] Interference with mods?

Hello, as of now i am on the CDMA CM9 nightly ROMs. I have recently installed a mod that tweaks the notification bar, which can be found here. Since i have installed it do i have to do anything different when flashing the latest nightly? correct me if im wrong.
1. Make a nandroid backup
2. install zip from sd (do i need to wipe?)
3. chose the latest nightly
and after i install the latest nightly will i have to reflash my kernel and mod i previously installed?
Thanks in advance!

If you are installing a nightly on top of CM9 you should wipe both cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
And yes, you will have to re-flash any mods or kernels as well.

So if I flash a nightly on another nightly I have to wipe both the dalvik and normal cache? But I don't have to clear all user data, right?

No need to wipe data. You may need to flash gapps again after the rom flash though.

If I boot up without gaps I can always flash it by going back into clockwork right?

How to flash a new ROM

Hey guys, I just bought my Galaxy S III, I'm coming from the S II.
On the S II, there would be an installation process that I remembered by heart after flashing several times:
Open CWM
Backup
Install Darkside SuperWipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Install Darkside Cachewipe
Reboot
Wait 10 min
Reboot.
While I've been on the S III forums for the past 2 days I haven't seen any of the devs have an installation guide, I figured I might have to wipe dalvik, wipe data or something but haven't tried just yet. Maybe I could just flash ROM over it.
If there's a process can someone please tell me.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.

So does SuperWipe work for every phone?
My .zip file for SuperWipe says SGH-T989_Darkside_superwipe.zip

I would not use the super wipe script from The s2 I believe there is one floating around for ours but I do not use it ... I also recommend u use twrp recovery instead of clockworkmod

Reboot recovery
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
Let the phone sit for 5 mins then reboot
Haven't had any SOD or RR, should I stick to what I did?

yeah my bad...i also flashed gapps..i forgot to put that in there..
So, should I just stick to what I did previously?

I depends what u are looking for in a ROM..... if u like stock aosp then aokp is probably the most stable but there are tons of features on touchwiz ROMs that have me going back and forth... so its all preference really if u like stock jellybean
Then u are good where u are

Yes but the superwipe does the same thing and it was built for lazy people. I always say "what ever floats your boat". :good:

Can't flash ANY JB custom roms

Hey there guys, new to Samsung devices (solid LG user here). Wifey got this phone and I'm trying to flash JB (it's in ICS coming from GB). As the title says, whatever custom JB rom out there for this phone won't work! I don't know, maybe I just missed something or what, but I followed, read every instructions there is (I don't have any problems flashing any roms on my LG's...)
Why can't I flash any JB roms? While I can flash any custom ICS roms on this phone..anything I missed? Need to be enlightened. Thank you in advance. Btw, I like to try Chameleon OS

You'll prolly have to give more info like the steps your taking to flash them. What recovery are you using if any.

Oh sorry. Forgot to mention those. As of lately, I wanted to try Chameleon OS. the steps I did:
* factory reset
* full wipe (format /system & /cache)
* flash latest Chameleon OS nightly
* wipe davlik
* reboot, waited for 15 mins
I did this on all JB roms I tried...but none of them works. Btw, I'm on TWRP 2.5
Thanks for the reply.

You're missing gapps after flashing ROM
If a ROM is aosp based you need gapps...there's a link for the latest 4.2.2 gapps in the chameleon thread or you can search for it on goo.im
Once you Dow load gapps and ROM do the following
Reboot into twrp recovery
Click on wipe
Click advance wipe
Check the first 4 (dalvik, data, system, cache)
Swipe to wipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
You can wipe dalvik/cache again after (I don't since the caches haven't been built yet for the newly flashed ROM)
Reboot
Wait 10 mins after seeing the welcome screen (don't touch anything)
Reboot device again and setup :thumbup::beer:
EDIT: my fault..not flashing the gapps won't make you hang on boot but still try my method to flash and let me know if it worked.

I already did when I said thanks! It was succesful

No it was caused by not wiping properly on twrp. You need to make sure all 4 partitions are being wiped that's why my steps said click advance wipe and check the first 4.

[Q] Updating a ROM

Hey guys so I'm pretty new to rooting and flashing roms and yesterday I flashed the Liquidsmooth rom onto my phone now there is an update and its not like CM where you can update through settings I was wondering how you would go about updating a rom. Thanks in advance.

Download it from the main thread, or maybe with goomanager, and flash it in recovery
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

Are you supposed to factory restore or wipe cache? Do you just flash on top of previous rom?

Depends if the dev states a full wipe is needed.. If not then just wipe system, cache & dalvik, and flash
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info you wouldn't happen to know if the Liquidsmooth rom requires cache or total wipe would you?

Just do a system wipe, if you have issues do a full wipe
