Hi all. since I'm pretty new I'm not yet able to post in the development forum. My question is fairly straightforward.
I have rooted, installed custom roms/kernels on my SE Arc S for a while now, but every time by following either a youtube tutorial or a nice instruction sequence.
Curently I am running Slim-Bean 4.0 (by XtremeSilencer), I used the installation procedure from the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959054
I installed the Fusion Kernel provided in the description and everything got set up smooth. What I want to do now is upgrade to @besttt Slim-Bean based ROM, which fixes some bugs. his post is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45710450&postcount=2992
The Instructions are a bit confusing, since apparently I need to be running CM10.1 and I only know that CM10.1 means (Cyanogen mod 10.1) and that Slim Bean runs some sort of version? of it, but I couldn't find anywhere on my phone a clue about which version Im currently running with Slim Bean. As I said all I did was installing the base version 4.0 of Slim Bean by XtremeSilencer like the instructions on the main page taught me.
What procedures would I need to do to upgrade from the "Stock" Slim Bean 4.0 with the Fusion Kernel 4.5 (About Phone says its: 2.6.32.60-FusioN [email protected]) #PREEPT Fri Feb 22 23:49:51) to the Besttt custom SlimBean kernel?
1. Flash which Kernel via fastboot?
2. Wipe data/catche/etc
3. Install which ROM (zip)? - If I'm correct, Anzu mean Rom for Arc S ??
thanks a lot,
~Skaveelicious
Mate, as you said you are already on @besttt slim. But now you want to Upgrade. As in the guide stated. For that you must have latest slim rom by besttt, you can find that from his signature @besttt)
Install the kernel he said in that update.
Install slim bean 8.1 non stop gaming edition, its latest version of slim rom.
Then install the home and wifi fix.
Then gapps.
Then boot to main screen, then install wifi modules for that kernel.
You will get latest update for the slim rom.
Remember, official is better than update, as besttt said. There are some bugs.

1. Kernel seems to be inside the zip like it says in the thread: "use kernel,, only incide my rom zip"
2. Yes data, cache, dalvik, system I think, if it says "full" wipe
3. Anzu = Arc S, and don't forget the gapps.

Inside the .zip there is an .img file. So basically what I need to do is extract the .img from the zip and:
1. flash the Kernel DarkAnzu Kernel via flashtool.
2. Wipe system/cache/dalvik cache
3. install de .zip via CWM
4. Install GAPPS via CWM
Well, the Kernel is the img inside the zip, no idea if it's the DarAnzu Kernel, but just flash the img inside the zip via fastboot in flashtool and then do the other steps.
I flashed it and it went perfectly. Now understand how this kernel+rom update works. Cheers and thank you all

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:
There is a 4.1.2 stock ota ROM?!? I suck lol.

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

Yup. Thankfully my phone likes me, plus I kind of know what I am doing with regards to diagnosis.
@OP Can you please post exactly what your Build Number says in Settings>About Phone?

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!
Hello and thank you for taking your time in reading, I will start by letting you know my samsung captivate glide is already rooted, android version 4.0.4 and stock kernel 3.1.10-I927ICLJ3-CL970642, now I found this wonderful thread in the development forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892538
mostly im interested in having more available RAM, but it does have a lot of good perks, after reading thru all 32 pages I could not find instruction on how to flash a kernel so here are my questions.
1) how do i flash a new kernel on my phone ?
2) Do i need to flash a rom as well or can i keep the stock ICS with the new kernel ?
Download and install clockworkmod .. the rest will make sense after that

not sure if you can keep the stock rom with the kernel (bone stock.) I don't see why not ... I used Dman's UCLJ3 pre-rooted rom and flashed litekernel onto it so you should be able to.
in CWM, install zip from sdcard, browse to your download folder on your phone and install it.
MAKE SURE you do a full backup first so you can revert if something doesn't pan out.

ty yohan, i see that flashing a kernel is pretty much the same as flashing a rom, I like the stock rom, how stable is Dman's ?
There's crashing issues with his AOKP lockscreen version but it could be because I installed thegreatergoods litekernel. So if you're going to download the pre-rooted debloaded deodex. etc etc.. go with the one that doesn't have the lockscreen. the 14 toggles mod will work and can be configured by quickpanel settings in apps.
One thing that shouldn't be overlooked is ICE Pop, it has a themed dialer (big plus) ... Thegreatergoods literom will be good as well, but personally I dont like the cyan and yellow colors in the messaging app.
I flashed the kernel with success but after testing it for a week I decided to go back to stock, tho speeds were amazingly fast the device was alot more unstable and I couldent handle all the crashes and reebots

That's really not needed, but you still need to update your firmware/bootloader before installing a 4.2.2 AOSP ROM. If you read the CM10.1 thread, it was discovered that older (ICS) bootloaders do not play nice with JB 4.2 AOSP and will cause random reboots. CM10.1 (don't know about others) also won't install unless you're on a compatible bootloader.
To get the latest bootloader/firmware, you need to:
a) Odin to the latest AT&T JellyBean package
or
b) Download the I747 firmware package from here http://invisiblek.org/sgh-i747/ and flash it in recovery.
lol which part was uneeded thanks that is the EXACT answer i was looking for. i did find the smaller bootloader update package so i didnt have to install the full firmware..............and now i realize thats exactly what you linked to as well LMFAO sorry but thanks!!
Hi all,
I have done the following on my Galaxy Ace 2 i8160 (with official JB update):
- applied RAM patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389395)
- patched Kyrillos mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955679)
- applied D-Kernel patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171054)
The latter put my phone into a bootloop, stuck at the first screen (with the Galaxy Ace II etc). Since I did not made a backup of my kernel with CWM before, I had to put XMF1-DBT with Odin to restore a working system. Afterwards, I have tried to apply the D-Kernel patch again and now the bootloop is back, stuck at the second screen (animated Samsung logo).
What did I wrong? Or is the D-Kernel patch broken/buggy? Unfortunately I cannot discuss this in the official developer thread since I am new to this forum. What can I do in order to have this D-Kernel patched? I absolutely want to apply it since it is the only fix that is supposed to bring decent performance to the Galaxy Ace 2.
Thanks. Cheers,
Quentin

The one you have flashed is the latest version for stock JB and will have all the features in the OP. The latest version is only for Cyanogenmod Roms and is not compatible with stock roms.
Hi folks, I would like to install the [KK_4.4.2] PHD rom on a Xperia Mini Pro 10 but I can't seem to find a link to download a compatible version of CWM , my device is on stock 4.0 ICS but it's rooted and I was able to install an older version of CWM on it only which gave me an error (error 7) when I tried to instal KK. I already asked on the ROM thread however the developer did not respond to it yet.
Any help finding the download link and instructions on how to install it is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Stop everything that you are doing.
You are in the wrong forum. Installing this ROM will brick your device for good. This forum has all the stuff for Xperia Arc phone, you don't have it so you shouldn't be here at all.
