I'm not quite following what you're trying to achieve.
When you flash a rom, the kernel is included. You don't have to flash the kernel separately unless you want a custom kernel.
Following the link above (the lmgtfy, I didn't know what CM7-GX4 was), it seems that you're looking for the kernel from a rom that's quite old. Are you wanting to flash that kernel with a different rom?
Maybe sleep deprivation is making me silly and dumb, but I just don't get it.

And in your attempt to be an ungrateful individual who requires that everything be handed to him....I've gone ahead and completed the difficult task of running another Google search for you.
I've also gone ahead and thrown in a brief "How-to" so that you know exactly what you are supposed to do with the information I gave you, since you apparently failed to grasp the fairly simple concept on your own.
1. Use the link from my first response to download the CM7-gx4 ROM.
2. Use the second link to learn how to extract the kernel from the CM7-gx4 ROM that you downloaded from step #1. (I assumed you would've been able to figure this part out on your own)
3. Take newly extracted CM7-gx4 kernel and flash it to your phone.
4. Go back to the stickies in this forum and read the thread about ROMs/kernels and then facepalm yourself for not realizing that the kernel is already packaged within the ROM and doing the above steps for no reason.
5. Press the thank you button at the bottom of this post.
if u actually took the time out and actually read that post u should understand that the developer posted a link for a kernel... i dont expect things to b handed to me but i expect people to actually know what im talkin about to actually help me with what i want without being sarcastic... so now go and think about what u've done

If you "expect people to actually know what you're talking about ", then you should type more clearly and give more information.
You said you were looking for a kernel for a rom and that you wanted to flash the rom soon. Then you said you were running Decks. Then you said (and I'm translating into proper spelling and grammar) "If you actually took the time to read that post, you'd understand that the developer posted a link for a kernel."
I'm still lost as to what you're trying to achieve, but I don't think it's even relevant because I think you moved on to something else.
If I understood what you were trying to do, I would try to help you. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious.

I had a couple question and hopefully you guys can help me out.
I have a gs3 and was looking to install a rom, now do these roms just add features or do they completely replace the default rom? Im I going to be able to do everything I was able to do before the custom rom? Also what does "cm10" or "cm5" mean? Also my phones 4g isnt working, it stays at edge, no mateer if I have full bars. Would a custom rom maybe solve the problem? If I add a custom rom can I revert to stock without side effects?
Thnks
Read and read and Google and Google, or vice versa! And have you rooted and flashed already? If so check your imei and see if it has numbers or just 0 (settings, about phone, status, imei) oh and read some more like the resource guide I created, and Google other things.

Buddy my advice to you is read more! And that's being serious because flashing things is no small matter but to answer you're questions.
Flashing a rom will replace the default.
It will change kernel, build, etc. The only thing that wont change is you're modem.
If you did install a touchwiz rom. You're most likely going to do everything you do plus more but make sure its based of T-Mobile... they tell you on the first post of roms.
Cm10 is cyanogen mod and they make asop roms. They best way to describe the rom is watch a video of the nexus stock rom.. u will get the jist of it.
For you're data make sure you're on a 4g area my friend. If u are then personally check you're data and make sure 4g is enabled. Still wont woek then maybe flashing the newest modem might work but be very very careful! !!!!
If u install cm10, akop stuff like that people recommend to odin back to your stock. Look up odin if you do not know what that means.
Ok I answered all you're questions
But truly watch out. From reading you're questions it sounds like you are new and want to learn which is good but keep reading and reading before you flash anything dude. Treat this like programming class and you're fighting for that A
Hit thanks if I helped

You are the man.
What is the full model number of your GS3?
Dude you really look like you won't take advantage of all the rooting capabilities maybe it's best if you don't. Have you ever had 4G? It might be your area, tmobile doesn't cover everything. So custom roms most likely won't improve that, so before you do anything call tmobile and see what's up with that because most likely your paying for a service your not getting. If not then a warranty is in place if they cover it in your area, also let us know if you have mess with some settings in network.

Since we are asking questions about custom roms... Let's say I install a custom kernel but I flash different rom after that. Would the custom kernel go untouched or would it change to whatever rom is present on the custom rom?

It changes with whatever rom you flash to my understand, roms comes with their equipped kernels. You should wipe before you move on to next rom

Yes all ROMs come with a kernel otherwise they wouldn't boot.

flash proper kernel (no, I won't provide any links, you have to find it by yourself by using "search" tool... aokp is CM9 [ICS] or CM10 [JB]) and then flash aokp ROM

The best way to learn something is to read ROM's first posts
First posts of many roms don't give much information actually... You'll probably have to read many ''first posts'' to get a proper understanding. People on here are annoying about telling new people how to get started because they in all likelihood learned by themselves though searching and reading. Flashing a new rom is easy but there is a learning curve and you will need troubleshooting skills, so the more you read and know the better!

We are all learning by making mistakes You think why I know more than e.g. OP of this thread? Because I'm too impatient to wait until somebody will answer my questions! I was doing things by myself, bricking phones, restoring them back and gaining knowlegde! So not more experienced users are "bad" because they won't tell everything, NEW USERS ARE TO LAZY TO SEARCH, MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARN!!!

To make it short: every rom needs a kernel that it's likely not stock kernel. In every OP of rom it's written which kernel you have to use...
hello,
I used the stock rom all the time I have this device,
however it looks like I have a problem and I need to full wipe;
AND I HATE START EVERYTHING FROM THE BEGINING !
So, can u suggest some good roms ?
And please I need u to tell me about full features and if u can some screenshot
thanks in a advance :good:
So first there is no best ROM though.. but I'll give you some suggestions
If you want full S5-like ROM, DN3 is a great one. Though I get some lags a bit, maybe it's just my device.
If you want stock-like old note 2, omega ROM is great or ARHD. And they are so stable and fast!
One of the big NO NO's on XDA is creating duplicate topics that ask same questions that have already been asked/answered.
Another is asking "what is the best rom" because there is NO ANSWER because "best" is a subjective term and nobody can tell you what is "best" for you.
Best answer = Go and try some and stop been lazy.
Try all ROMs and YOU tell me which one is the best

Why should we screenshot when every ROM thread has screenshots in their OP(Original post).Give me your phone and I'll try few ROMS that I like and give it back to you with one ROM I enjoy the most but you need to sign a contract that you won't dare change that ROM or use stock rom.If you break this rule I will sue you in XDA court :cyclops:
okay,
why there's no thread that have all available Roms links?
that would be easier and we can search as well .
thanks for suggestion, and I willl see what I can do 4 this.

"Best" or "Recommend" ROM / Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself. That is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion, and then,
you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.

Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!
Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

1) I can do this through Odin correct?
2) Ok, what is the most popular rom?
3) Ok.
Should I change my kernel to a different one than stock? My friends said it helps performance and battery life, but I don't know how stable they are. Could someone suggest a good one?
Last time I rooted my old phone I did a bad job of it, I lost all my stuff and I don't want it to happen this time.
If I buy Titanium Backup could this prevent this? I want to be able to update the ROM how can I do this, and what rom would you suggest in this case?
Thank you.

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

Managed to root my stock rom.
If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.
