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!
I've been having this problems before and that is that no kitkat ROM's camera works in my t999 phone, I was in 4.1.1 bootloader before but upgraded to 4.3 bootloader using Mr Robinson's prerooted firmware but still when I installed any kitkat custom ROM, I still get the cannot connect to camera error. the camera works fine in the stock prerooted firmware. plz I really want to use these kitkat ROMs and also want to camera to be functional. any permanent solution will be appreciated.
i guese I can't go on with kitkat roms

I guess am only left with the options of using only stock based t999 ROMs. I'll have to say bye bye to aoksp and cm ROMs.
Check the cm threads and ask there when you get up to 10 posts. A lot of people who might be familiar with it probably dont bother looking at anything but their roms thread.
whats up guys im having a bit of trouble finding the stock roms for galaxy s3 im looking for the latest stock rom thats rooted. it can have small tweaks for performance. If anyone can provide a link that would be sweet thanks again guys i tried looking up stock roms but it didnt help to much
Well with the information you've provided I'm left not knowing a whole lot, so I'll just assume you're on the latest nd8 build and if so here is the link to that stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741413
please make sure you read the Op, because if you are not on the nd8 build you DO not want to flash this.

how'd you have trouble? and the latest ones flashable are under the name ND8 and NDC....
If you're on JB 4.1 it is mandatory you update via unrooted through PC ODIN first before you actually flash the KK TW Roms.
Stock Unrooted L710VPUDND8 or Stock Unrooted L710 BST/VM NDC
Once you're done then you can head to these two threads for the stock odex/deodexed versions of the ROM
Stock Rooted SPH-L710 Sprint Model or Stock Rooted VM/Boost ROM
Kudos to @jdsingle76, @DR_CDMA, @CNexus for these.
The stock ROMs don't carry tweaks. But there are great and standard tweaks you can find on XDA-D. But you should
only use it as a last resort if you're device really does need it. One tweak would be Operation Killjoy by Team Kernelizers
and the other is ComaDose v3.5 mod tweak mashup for d2spr by Goddly.
( Kudos to @Exit_Only, @kobridge, @Phakker, @j_ding84 and @idcrisis for all of the insane mods/tweaks and @Goddly for the mashup ).
Thanks guys I'm running miui 4.2.2 currently I'll look into the threads posted thanks again. Do I need to flash the nd8 tar if I'm on 4.2.2 already?

ND8 and NDC are 4.4.2 kk are you on 4.2.2 jb? if so then yes but if you just did a typo then no
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?

Sometimes you have to flash a kernel to get wifi to work but I use agni kernel he makes one for tw and cm roms they are awesome
Rom is developed by a Chinese developer and all credit goes to him and i personally very thank full to him.
And like to many Thanks to the Developer of Echoe Roms, only his developed kernel works very fine for my M919 with MIUI ROM
I got this Rom from official MIUI website, as Galaxy S4 I9505 custom roms can be flash on S4 M919 Tmobile version but all we need to look for Kernel to boot the rom and work flawlessly, so i have flashed this rom which is generated for I9505 on my Galaxy S4 Tmobile M919 but few issues were there from which wifi was not working so spending time on net and look for kernel and flashed few but could not get working one and then finally got one which works like charm. Rom is totally in English after Selecting English language for first boot
I am using this rom from one week and almost every thing works
Calling
Bluetooth
SMS
Camera
NFC
Wifi
Wifi Direct
GPS
and i am pretty sure others must be too
I love MIUI and i was happy to get MIUI for my M919 so like to share this rom who love to have MIUI on there Android devices
Flashing Method
Flashing method is same like we use to flash every rom, only after flashing rom do not reboot, flash Kernel first and then reboot.
I am using TWRP v2.7.1.0 and others recoveries will work too
I have change my model number in my Build.prop file, because it will show I9505 and you guys can do it too, just google it, it easy
