[Q] Compatibility Of Kernels Question

I have recently installed CM10 on my AT&T galaxy s3(sgh-i747) and was wondering how to figure out if a kernel is compatible with my device. I was looking at the Devil kernel and didn't understand how to know if it would work with my phone.

Read the kernels thread OP. It should specify if it's for AOSP ROMs or Touchwiz ROMs. Kernels for our devices can be found in the Android development and original development sections.

So what specifications would it need to be compatible with my phone.

You mentioned CM10, so you want one that works with AOSP based ROMs. Also make sure they explicitly say CM10(Jellybean 4.1) or CM10.1 (Jellybean 4.2.1), depending on what version of Jellybean you have.

So im I'm looking at the kernel kt747 by ktoonz and there is a version for jellybean 4.2.1 and one that just says jellybean would it be safe to flash the one that just says aosp jellybean version (BTW I have cm10 so I have 4.1.2 not 4.2.1)? Thanks for all of the help.

Flash the one that says jellybean AOSP (12/11).

Yes. Flash the normal JB version. 4.2.1 is solely for 4.2.1. Not 4.1.2

Thanks
It worked well, thanks everyone for the help.

[Q] Rom with bloat removed?

I have recently gotten the Samsung s3 for At&t (i747 i believe) and all I am looking for is a Rom that is 4.1 or 4.2 with the stock att/samsung bloatware removed and maybe some speed/battery tweaks. Ive tried the CM rom but i dont want all that, just the simple stock look. Ive loked around but my head is spinning from all the different ROM choice. Thanks for any help.

Try slimbean, it's nice looking fast and overall pretty good

Is there like an AOI thread for S3 custom roms? This just seems to be all over the place compared to like the Kindle Fire where I found several indepth AOI threads.

As for stock roms they have Jedi Invasion, Serenity, and i think Ultimatum. I think most of them don't really have any bugs but i would read up on them before flashing anyone of them

If you're happy with stock except for the bloat, you could just install Titanium Backup and use it to freeze the bloat apps that you want to get rid of; that way, you don't have to worry about anyone's definition of bloat but your own.

Do a search in the GSIII Android Development forum for "CSROM" (CS = Clean Slate). It has almost all Samsung stuff removed so it's very lightweight and incredibly stable. I've tried a bunch and I think I'll be sticking with this one for a while.

Try LoserRom
My personal favorite is LoserRom. It is the closest thing I have tried to stock, also it is based on the official AT&T 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033093
Jedi Rom is good but it's a T-Mobile port and I dislike the 5x5 TwLauncher, although I believe the dev provides a separate flashable 4x4 TwLauncher if I am not mistaken.
Also, you may try BlackJelly, another super close to Stock official AT&T 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update. I believe this one also has the 5x5 launcher, and this one is heavily themed and looks pretty cool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883845

Does this retain Swype, TouchWiz and allow you to sync with Samsung Kies?

I have not tried this mod, but I thought it looked interesting.

I personally love Aeonfluxx. It does the things you listed with amazing battery life. These forums are great for trying different roms. Don't be afraid to try a few out. Backing up your nandroid through CWM or TWRP will help you fallback on roms you like.

which rom do you keep going back to?

helo all rom testers
I am a 2 year old user of android
I come from Optimus one P509
I flash rom back and forth constantly with that old phone and there is always one rom I keep coming back to (if you want to know I keep coming back to oxygen rom for P509)
now I am done with P509 moving on to T989D
could you please share your experience here and let me / us know which rom do you keep going back to?
thanks!!!

What he said. As far as touchwiz goes, TDJ's Darkside Evolution blows the others away and CM10 is what it is. Super stable and Jelly Bean.

I would have to say, the stock Koodo 4.0.4 ROM. It's the only ROM that I'm able to flash on my phone through Odin that is completely clean of anything custom.
Helps when trying to troubleshoot installing custom ROMs with pretty much a clean slate on the phone. Cheers!

Hehe nice to meet a fellow O1 owner. I came from the Optimus One P500.
Oh, this phone can run on Skyrocket ROMs. Just flash a rotation fix and bam.
On topic, I think I prefer the CM10 nightlies as I keep going back to them over and over. However, I'm starting to use the Touchwiz 4.1.2 UCLL3 leak for the skyrocket. And also the stock Koodo ROM mentioned above was alwaysy previous choice. I still want to go back to it because its clean, no bloat at all.
Enjoy your stay!

wow good news. I didn't know we can run skyrocket rom
what is d2tmo? I thought that is for galaxy SIII ? as I am reading in liquidsmooth dev thread
I like vanilla aosp experience but I will not disregard stock samsung touchwiz rom either
I consider stock samsung rom as vanilla experience in it's own world
now that you mention 4.1.2 leak from skyrocket I may try that if it stable.
on second thought maybe I stay with koodo rom
I still got a lot to read in this whole new phone...

You are correct about 'd2tmo' being a GS3 ROM. Whatever you do, DO NOT FLASH IT! There are already enough posts on here with a person saying they 'bricked' their phone.
If you are still planning to flash a custom ROM, my recommendation would be trying one of the All-Star Devs ROMs. There are too many ROMs to link, but if you search up for threads created by Tmogalaxys2 or android88 in the 'Development Section' you will find any of the Team's ROMs.
Hitting the image on the right of my signature will also lead you to one of the ROMs. Good luck!

Make sure you read and flash for Hercules aka s2

so the different between liquidsmooth and liquidsmooth all star is:
-Android 4.2 themed
-Android 4.2 launcher
-4.2 clock
-4.2 fonts
-4.2 keyboard
-4.2 boot animation
-Many build.prop tweaks for better performance
-Pimp my ROM tweaks
-Seeder Script
-Velocity Tweaks
-AC!D Audio
-Xloud
-Bravia Engine
-Nibbles Kernel
-A lot more!
is it possible to mount internal SD card in CWM? if so which version of CWM?
I don't have micro SD card

Correct, the All-Star version is basically the same as the official Liquid Smooth ROM with extra features. If you are asking your question in regards to flashing the ROM through internal memory, yes, it is possible. Just place the ROM files on the root of your phone.
Also, rather than using CWM recover it is recommended to install and use TWRP 2.3.3.0 on your phone as it is a more up to date recovery system.

If I understand you correctly, you want access to settings through the 'notification bar'? Almost all custom ROMs now should have an option to add "Power Widgets" in the notification for quick access to certain settings if that's what you're looking for.

AOKP is pretty good but I feel CM is a little smoother and stable. Could be wrong as I haven't tried aokp in awhile

@corwest: Oops! Didn't mean to hit "thanks", so have a free one on me!
To the OP, I keep going back to PACman rom. In my opinion it is the best of cm10, AOKP and ParanoidAndroid, though going through the settings can be a little confusing to a newbie since AOKP's Rom Control and CM10 seem to redouble some of each others settings including toggles in the notification drawer (you will notice two sets of toggles active when you first boot the rom). That's the only problem I have with it. (Isn't it great when you can complain about having too many options?)

Kooodo stock rom that I have customized a tiny bit (deodexed with a couple simple mods). Its fast, stable, and has great battery

I always go back to darthstalker version 4. Favorite rom so far, only feature i really wanna keep that no other rom(touchwiz roms) has (maybe i'm wrong) is the ability to record phone calls, and the crt effect. I love touchwiz from the s3.

What the most stable AOSP rom?And few more questions

I havent been on here for a while and currently on MOAR rom, i love it but i been having wifi issues with it. My wifi disconnects every hour or so, so i cant download things.
Im thinking about flashing CM/AOSP rom but would like to know which is most stable and if i can use Morphology with CM/AOSP roms.Or is there any barebone stable Twiz roms that i can use Morphology with.
Thanx in advance.

Oh, and what is AIO Aroma?Is this Aroma installer for AOSP roms? And does it have theming like morphology?

There is no "most stable [type here] rom", they're all good
But generally its a good idea to stay on builds up to the latest official version (aka 4.1.2), because anything above that will be prone to issues
Aroma installer is like an installer customizer for android...it let's the dev give you options about how to install it, what to install, etc. And no, it's not restricted to AOSP roms, it can be added to any flashable zip (rom, mod, theme, etc)
AIO just means all in one

Its not the MOAR ROM I'm on it w no WiFi issues, i think flashing another ROM will not fix your issue. I can't remember if 2.3 MOAR came with the connection optimizer or not. If it did make sure you disable it.

I was on Sonic rom before and had no problems,but with Moar my fifi disconnects and reconnects once in a while.Maybe i just had a bad flash or wrong kernel,im on latest Agat.
Is there any roms that will let me connect my phone via usb to ps3 to copy files? I remember it could before ics update, isc uses new protocol so it cant connect to ps3 as mass storage.On my JB GS2 rom they have old mass storage protocol baked in but i havent seen this on S3 roms yet.

Honestly, I can't say, it just depends on what you're looking for. If maximum stability is a must, then the old CM would do the trick . I would just recommend going through the last couple pages for LiquidSmooth to get a sense for any bugs that have been fixed or are still present

Liquid Smooth is awesome, as well as DeviantXone.

In my opinion, as of late, most AOSP ROMs will lock up your phone or won't run smoothly.
Go with older builds that don't include the 3.4 kernel. All run smooth.

I ported Pure AOSP ROM if your looking for something no bells no whistles just Google its like a Galaxy Nexus for our SGS3

[Q]Looking for a kernel

I'm looking for a kernel with fast charge and working IR blaster for a TW 4.4.4 ROM (currently running MD v1.3). I've tried ktoonsez, googymax, imperium, and AEL. Does anybody know of one that fits the bill?

How about kernel Sander's he's good at cooking stuff.
Lol.
The features your looking for are baked into the touchwiz roms (Samsung) and you would probably have to be on a type of stock TW rom to have that.
Did you try Google?
Pp.

As mentioned in my previous post I'm running a TW ROM. It's a KitKat 4.4.4 ROM based on the stock T-Mo ROM from the looks of things. There are no kernels by kernel sanders here on XDA and Google turns up no relevant info either. But if you're talking about KFC it's Colonel Sanders, not Kernel Sanders. And yes I tried Google AND searched a few other sites as well.

So MD. 1.3 is a custom TW rom?
Not familiar with it.
I run stock / rooted and the IR blaster works fine, fast charging could be an AOSP mod, if not mistaken.
You could try the Ktoons thread since he specializes in kernel mods.
