I've been looking around and can't seem to find any. I wanted to try to use Hashcode's kernel with the SGT7 ROM but I don't see any way that would be possible.
You need a custom recovery first. I'd advise you to read the FAQ sticky listed in this forum, it should help get you started. And whenever you're ready to download that rom, the links to the zips are in the development thread associated with the ROM you'd want to flash.
I think they already have one. Fortunately the SGT7 rom uses hashcode's kernel. Unfortunately, you are talking about the 3.4.y, that is highly experimental and Hash only wants the more experienced people to mess with it, so as of now there is no flashable kernel for 3.4.y. If you are talking about the current 3.0 kernel then im also afraid you are out of luck on that too. There isnt one.

Forgive me if this is a newb question, but I've searched the forum a few different ways and couldn't find a real answer.
Can I use any kernel with any ROM, or should I only use the kernel (if any), associated with that ROM?
If I download and flash the CM6 Nightlies, do they come with the kernel built in?

Every rom has it own kernel, but you can flash another one if you want

not all kernels are compatible with all roms.
All roms should come with there own kernel however if you choose to select a different kernel make sure it is for the correct version of the rom (ie 2.1 vs 2.2) also some roms have other needs and you may see a separate version for them (ie netarchys has always had a separate damagecontrol kernel). If it matches versions (2.2 to 2.2) and you dont see a note on the page about a certain rom you are probably ok just nandroid before installing jsut in case.
Installed CM 7.0.3.
Interested in flashing some non stock kernels.
I would like to find the stockkernal [Kernel] 2.6.37.4 [email protected] #27, so that I can easily reflash it.
Unable to find it.
Appreciate a link to a download site for this kernal.
Thanks
I'm not sure about the latest version, but you should check the OP of the nightlies thread in development. There's a link to the stock kernel, I'm just not sure if its the latest. Alternatively, you could just reflash the rom without wiping data.
I need a small clarification regarding flashing custom Kernels. (I've never flashed Kernel's separately before.)
Do I need to do some kernel cleanup before flashing a new kernel (to avoid errors)? Or is it something optional?
I found this on XDA. Is there a newer version which supports Jelly Bean?
Thanks
Best thing is to refer to the install instructions per kernel. Every AT&T SGS3 kernel I know of has them on the first post in the thread.
Hi guys, I'm new on this board and I just wanted a ask a few question about this rom. Currently I'm using the Xylon 2.3.3 and I'm loving it so far, running beautifully smooth. I just got a question about the gapps, I've installed the 2013-2-15 gapps with all the photosphere stuff, however there is a newer version gapp which is 20130301, should I update to that?
Also is the kernel that it came with any good? or should I change it to AK purity like a lot of user have said to make it run a lot better.
It's safe to update, just flash over the current gapps.
As far as the kernel goes, most users report great things from the AK kernel so it's worth a shot.
For future reference, please use the corresponding Pre-existing ROM thread to ask such questions. There is no need to initialize a completely new thread.

thanks I will in the future. btw I was just checking the kernel version. It seems like the rom has already built in with the ak kernel purity.030. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If that's what your about tab says then yeah.
Hello all. First I want to thank everyone for still being around to help, especially on such an old device.
Anyway, I recently bought one of these and got it rooted via odin. Currently that's all I've done to her. I have been looking over this forum, android forums, and Google in general prior to posting, I want to solve problems on my own, but when I can't, I'm not scared to ask for help. And I need help with a few issues. I will seperate them, to make answering them easier.
1) is twrp not available for this model?
2) if not, the only other recoverys I can find is Phils TouchWiz, and ClockworkMod recovery touch 5.8.1.5. I wouldn't think these are the same, which is suggested? Also Phils Touchwiz was last updated (that I can find) to 4.1.2 which is where I currently am, am I want to go to 4.4
3) I only see 2 ROMs listed on here, and 1 is one of the ones I was thinking of using in Dirty Unicorns. The other I was thinking about was CyanogenMod. Which of these two is suggested?
4) I have no service on this phone, as its my tinkering device. The only thing I need to work is WiFi. That being said, do I need to flash a new modem?
Do I need to flash a new kernel?
Thanks for any help you can throw me. I know there are lots of tuts for all these questions, but frankly they are all very old, and this stuff changes by the day...
1. Yes but this device has recovery and kernel built in together, this recovery is only for flashing / wiping, other than that, it is not usable with other custom roms unless the devs build it to use that
recovery along with the kernel.
2. It's the same as question 1, For Touchwiz Jellybean, you'll need a recovery kernel that supports the android version and firmware, otherwise it wouldn't work or boot up, Agat's Source GB27 for GB27 Touchwiz ROMs. Or specific AOSP Kernels for certain kernel build updates ( versions are compatible with the build date of the ROM's Original Kernel, meaning it only works on certain ROMs that are updated with the same kernel build, for example, A custom 0.0.25 will not work with stock 0.0.26 because there was a major update change in the kernel that'll make 0.0.25 not usable on it. If you use a kernel based on a specific date on an AOSP ROM that frequently updates the kernel, it may not boot up. )
3. The AOSP ROMs that are being updated at the moment are the Teams that do Nightlies. So Cyanogenmod is the only AOSP ROM that's being updated weekly for this device, I have not checked on the other ones.
4. No need to flash a modem if you don't have data service, however it may help either way when using WiFi due to dropped connections, stability etc. For AOSP, use any ICS modem, for Touchwiz, use the same android firmware modem.
Flashing a new kernel is not needed unless you don't like how the stock kernel performs whether if it's power saving or performance. AOSP kernels are kind of limited as the ones out now work with different build dates of the ROMs, Touchwiz has a couple, but Agat63's Source Kernel is recommended by everyone for GB27.
