Any kernel with any ROM?

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.

kernel for paranoid 3.99 for n7000

hey guys..new to this website nd flashin new roms.. currently using paranoid 3.99 for my n7000..just wanted to know what kernel should i use with this ROM for a better performance..?? and how to flash the same..sorry for the noob question bt seriously new to these stuff..
thnk yu..

Kernel choice is up to the user... any AOSP based kernel for your device will work with the ROM. You can make a decision by searching the various kernel threads in your device forum, they should also contain information on flashing. In general you flash the kernel via recovery the same way you flash a ROM (kernels must be flashed after flashing a ROM however, else the ROM will overwrite the custom kernel with it's own).

[Q] I'm considering trying Franco kernel, what do I need to know?

I'm using PA 4.6b1 on my OnePlus One. I'm considering trying out Franco kernel, but I've never used a custom kernel before. How will this effect me when it comes time to update PA on my device? Will I just get the OTA update and then re-install the custom kernel? Or is it more complex than that?

Every ROM flash over writes the kernel. You can just flash your new kernel along with your ota, in the ota app

Exactly what I needed to know, thank you!

[Q] please help

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.

Here you go. Link

@Zayn1 your request is incorrect.
Because kernel is also constituted by custom libraries, residing in /system.
By flashing kernel, you would mess up the device with incompatible libraries.
The solution is much simple: you have to reflash the full rom from recovery.
Both kernel and system libraries will be replaced with official ones.
