There is no such thing as a "random aosp rom".
If you really need help, please include as much specific information as you can as to what you want to achieve.
Good luck!
Well, I have a ROM on my m919 Samsung Galaxy s4 called "Google edition s4". Here's the link to the ROM development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026
So, when I installed the ROM, it also installed an i9505 kernal and replaced it from the "SGH-M919" kernal.
What I want to do, (because of a number of reasons) is install the Cyanogenmod 10--i9505 kernal onto my Phone, (NOT THE ROM!) just the kernal from it (Through ODIN).
Can this be possible, or would this potentially mess up my phone, by installing a different ROM's kernal onto another ROM?

A Google Edition ROM in looks like pure AOSP, but in fact it's kernel is touchwiz, if you flash a as you refer "CM10 kernel" by what I assume you mean AOSP kernel, then you'd probably either brick or soft brick your phone. so...be careful!

Yeah, the first time I flashed a GPe ROM I mistakenly flashed an AOSP custom kernel. It'll just hang the phone on the SGS4 until a TW kernel is flashed.

So then, I should install my TW kernal.
More specifically on what I am doing...
I want to edit the drivers on (apparently a TW kernal) to where I can connect a Wireless adapter to use with Ubuntu chroot to do (what's in the picture). How do I edit the driver configuration on this kernal? (LINK)

Hi guys,
I'm running stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on my d2tmo Galaxy S3. When I look up kernels and whatnot, they are labelled many different ways. Some have JB in the name, some with AOSP in the name. I'm wondering: what types of kernels can I flash if I'm running a rooted stock ROM? I don't want to flash any custom ROMs because I'm a musichead and I like the stock music player
Thank you!
First of all you can get then stock music player with a custom rom
Second you can only run aosp kernels with an aosp rom. Aosp stands for android open source project. Aosp is not stock.
You can only use kernels labeled stock or touchwiz if you are using stock based rom

3rd of all, what in the heck do you want? Haha, you say you are running a 4.1.2 rom (only aosp available on TMO) so AOSP... but you want a kernel for stock (4.1.1) touchwiz rom? The stock music apk is great and works on all stock touchwiz based roms, and in my resource guide I have a huge list of what is available and what is what, if the kernel says 4.1.1 TouchWiz then it is for 4.1.1 TouchWiz. if it says 4.2 AOSP it is for 4.2 AOSP, if it says 4.1 AOSP then it is for 4.1 AOSP... Look in my resource bible in my signature, or in the dev sections for [kernel].
See, that's where I get confused. Sorry for the noob questions. I've been looking around but can't find clear, precise answers.
I'm running the stock TouchWiz, out of the box, 4.1.1 Jelly Bean (updated while not rooted to 4.1.2). That stock ROM is not the same as an AOSP ROM or an AOKP ROM, is it? I have another Android device that runs CM10.1 so I know a bit here and a bit there about ROMs and whatnot, but I'm not so confident when it comes to my S3.
Simply put, I want to keep that stock ROM, but get a custom kernel, because the stock kernel SUCKS. I need to know what kernels I can flash, and clninja already said I can only flash kernels labelled stock or TW. Am I correct, so far?
Thank you!
Well here's a Kernel that is supposed to be supported for STOCK rooted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785466 :highfive: But seriously you should get a custom ROM, the performance improvement is incredible and power management too ! :laugh:

That ROM is labelled Jelly Bean in the title but underneath that it says it's only compatible with ICS. Question mark.
Question: when you're running a custom ROM, if there's an update for it, say from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, you can just flash the update right over and not worry about problems right? Or do you need to factory reset through recovery and wipe the caches all over again?

There are a couple of touchwiz kernal's around, Ktoonsez is one that I would recommend, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946
Usually the general rule of thumb with upgrading custom rom is full wipe and flash, but some users has dirty flashed and had no problems so it depends whether your phone likes you or not.

Most of the times when you flash a ROM that is built off itself, you can "dirty flash". Example--> That means if you are already on a RootBox Nightly 2/17 with a clean install and RootBox 3/6 comes out, all you have to do is wipe /cache and /dalvik-cache and then flash the new version of the ROM. If any bugs creep up, then if you dirty flashed, chances are that is why.
If you are going to go from a TWiz ROM to an AOSP/AOKP ROM then I suggest a full factory reset and wipe accordingly. That way you have a clean install.
Read the OPs of the ROMs

You could install the update, but seriously I never do updates. I manual flash the whole new ROM. ( and I never had any accidents or bugs)
For the kernel, its was a example kernel chose the one you prefert ( THAT SUPPORT TOUCHWIZ STOCK ROM ) or just flash a new ROM with build-in kernel like the ParanoidKANGdroid 10.2 ROM !
I flashed the FrostyJellybean ROM with Xone kernel and it's been good so far. I'm a religious person when it comes to battery, but so far it's about the same as the normal drainage on the stock ROM, no noticeable improvements.
Another question (whoop): if I run a Nandroid backup, does that backup include the ROM itself? In other words, if I'm running the Frosty ROM, and there's a ROM I want to test, will creating a Nandroid include the Frosty, or will it just backup the system image excluding the ROM itself? I'm asking this because I have wanted to restore my Nandroids but didn't know if that backup may overwrite my existing ROM with the previous ROM.
Thank you guys for taking your time to help me out, I really appreciate it!

I have flashed a new ROM, so I no longer have the stock Build Number. It now says FrostyJellybean v11.6. I can tell you for a fact that I was previously running 4.1.1 rooted but without any customization or mod whatsoever outside the phone's original settings, so as stock as you can get.
A Nandroid is essentially a snapshot of your ROM at that point in time. You can back it up, try a new ROM and if you don't like it, then restore your Nandroid. A Nandroid should be done before you flash anything. You don't necessarily have to keep them all except your latest, but at least have one for when you try something out.
You can flash and restore just fine from ROM to ROM. Only thing is, you can't restore across platforms. Meaning, if you are on JB 4.1.1, you couldn't restore to ICS 4.0.4. Likewise you can restore a JB 4.1.1 if you are on a JB 4.2.2 ROM because of the file structure. There are ways to do it, but I won't go into that right now. Moral of that story is you can flash and restore laterally as far as builds go, but you cannot restore across different base builds.
*************
I just wanted to see your Settings>About Phone>Build Number because in your OP, you stated that you were running "stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean". We don't have a stock 4.1.2 ROM, so I was making sure you didn't have another phone. Sure, could be a T999 but there are Canadian versions out there that require different things.
Oh, about the Android version, yes, it's 4.1.1. I wrote 4.1.2 because I thought there was some stuff going on, like wireless and whatnot, and had previously read somewhere that 4.1.2 was rolling out and my phone was doing the "Android is upgrading" thing when it booted up and I didn't check the version before writing that. No worries, it was the stock 4.1.1.
Thank you so much for answering my questions, you guys are awesome!
Hey, I am new to the forum and this is my first post so the first thing I want to say is HI! I hope to become very active here in the future.
Firstly, I'm pretty new to android and I need someone to clear something for me, Currently I want to install the PAC rom to my T-Mobile galaxy s4, the model number shows up SGH-M919.
I was looking around and I came across this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295673
Further scrolling down, I came across this download link: http://d-h.st/mrL
I downloaded this file but I'm not sure if this is compatible with my phone. T-Mobile SGH-M919, I'd rather not brick my phone.
Can someone please aid me in the process of making sure that this rom is compatible with my device?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You COULD use that as long as you download the correct kernel from here. Or, if you want to skip trying to find the right kernel, you could use this ROM, which is the exact same thing, just built specifically for the m919. The biggest thing to remember is to not flash anything meant for the i9500 (the octa-core version of the S4). Other carrier's S4 ROMs though, just use a T-Mobile M919 kernel and you're good to go. If you don't feel like adventuring outside of the (mostly) absolute safe ROMs, just don't click outside of the current section you're in.

I will use the new link with the one designed for the M919 for safety.
Also, I have a question about kernels.
Can you just flash them the same way you do with roms through CWM recovery?
Are kernels and ROMS interchangeable? EX: Kernel A comes with ROM A and kernel B comes with ROM B, Kernel X is stock. Will kernel B And X work with ROM A?

1: Yes.
2: Kinda. As I said, you can flash any S4 ROM (minus the i9500 octa-core); just be sure to use the T-Mobile kernel. The only place you will find kernels (on XDA anyway) for the T-Mobile S4 is at that link I provided. To expand, you have to realize that each ROM is either going to be TouchWiz (stock) based or AOSP (CM, ParanoidAndroid, etc) based. The ROM's OP should tell you which they are based upon. Most of the kernels at that link are for either TouchWiz 4.2 (which would be stock TouchWiz or Google Edition 4.2.2), TouchWiz 4.3 (which would be the Google Edition 4.3), AOSP 4.2.2 (which would be CM-10.1 based), or AOSP 4.3 (which would be CM-10.2 based). As long as you match the correct kernel for the correct version of whatever ROM you want to use you will be good.
One comforting fact is that if you happen to forget to flash a TMO kernel (or flash the wrong TMO S4 kernel) after flashing, say, a ROM from the AT&T forum, you're not going to do any sort of permanent damage. You will just be unable to boot. Just go back into recovery, wipe everything, and start over; no harm done.

Have a nice night!
Hey guys. So, I've been reading and reading and flashing and everything.
Got an S4. It was running 4.3 and I was having Wifi issues.
I had read it was a software issue and welp, I've always liked Cyanogen Mod so I installed that.
It installed the nightly build which was WAY too buggy (I use my camera a lot and it kept failing) edit: but the WiFi worked perfectly!
I got back to 4.2.2 now but now the WiFi is Totally not working now and i'm getting that message about
Kernel is not Seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit : kernel
and it takes forever to reboot.
Since I was on 4.3 do i need to flash that stock rom to get my stock kernel back?
Or can I install deoxed version??
I still need to put custom recovery too!
I know this is a lot of questions and i'm not much of a n00b.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using any Cyanogen/AOSP/AOKP/GE/KiKat roms then please ignore the following.
If you are using a M919 Tmobile Samsung S4 Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 based rom then here is
the way to fix your wifi issue.
Here is the download link for Ktoonsez's custom kernel:
http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/sgs4/TW/KT-SGS4-JB4.2-TW-TMO-12.12.2013.zip
Download it and flash it using cwm/twrp recovery and the wifi will work for you again.
Good luck!
I'm running the stock rom but it seems like somehow it didn't overwrite the Cyanogen kernel.

That means that this kernel is for you..... "IF you are really running the stock rom".
If your rom was REALLY stock, I mean if you "ODIN" flashed the stock rom using the
official Samsung M919 4.2.2 Jellybean Touchwiz firmware from http://SamMobile.com
or other sources then whatever kernel you had the stock rom would have over-written it.
If you are sure that it's not over written that means that you have NOT ODIN flashed the
official 4.2.2 M919 MDL firmware.
Good luck!
So I took a long break from flashing my phone. I just want to get a newer stock android Rom on the phone. Not touchwiz Rom. Do I just download and flash the Rom? Up to date bootloader just for touchwiz based Rom correct?
All I know is I have 4.1.2 now. I317m. It's rooted of course and some kind of custom Rom. It's been a loong time
If you go on Cyanogenmod's website they have a installer that is really easy
I don't have a computer access right now. Or very often at all.
Also if I go to a kitkat touchwiz Rom I just have to flash the proper kernel for wifi to work? Is this consistent across all Roms I'd be looking to flash?

android v 2.3.6
baseband - I8160XXLL2
2.6.35.7-1218501

The threads about flashing a custom ROM have 100+ pages and a lot of links are out of date. I wanted to try a custom ROM, eg CM 10.2 but I have a couple of questions.
I just want to be able to use modern apps, eg Tom Tom app. Google maps, Chrome, and I need to be able to use the phone in different countries, eg France, Portugal, Croatia. The current 2.3.6 is not compatible with some new apps so I need to upgrade.
Should I just update to the Jellybean Samsung provide via Kies?
Should I update to a custom ROM eg CM 10.2 ( i think this may be a stable release), if so will this be stable and have less bugs than the stock ROM?
Should I upgrade to samsung Jellybean and then root and remove bloatware?
I would like to try CM but I think it might not be as stable as the stock ROM, is that correct? Also there are questions as to the process and correct files I will need but I will ask that later if needed.
Thanks!

I think you should try it yourself. For my needs, I can't live with stock anymore lol. With my needs, I multitask a lot, needs speed and stability and so far I'm quite satisfied with CM11 built by ace2nutzer with his kernel or ChronoMonochrome's kernel.
For another option, I also like liquid smooth, but I kinda missed some features from CM (kinda forget what was that).
By this time, we already have everything that we could use from stock with alternatives, and some better. But again, try it yourself to know which suits your needs.
