[Q] AOKP kernel help please

Just a quick question because im not familiar with terms used.
i installed Official AOKP JB M1 on my ATT S3
will this kernel work with it or brick my phone?
AOSP JELLYBEAN: Download CWM flashable zip kernel
i dont know when to use the touchwiz jb or aosp jb version please help

Not to sure about the question here. Is that the ROM you flashed? Or the kernel? You always have the potential of bricking your phone flashing anything to it. I know this from experience!! Make a nandroid backup through recovery an flash what you want. I am currently using AOKP by task650 and ktoonsez, accompanied by the KT747 kernel. Cant go wrong with that setup!!! Hope this helped.

Same as above, don't really know what you're asking. If you are wanting to install the KT747 Kernel (by the sounds of it), then you would need to install the AOSP version after installing the rom (flash in recovery). Sorry I can't help you much, didn't really understand the question.

I highly suggest you do a little research before flashing anything else to your device. If you don't know what something is or does, don't flash it until you do. You dont need it. Unless you would like to brick your device.

Just for your information aokp(android open kang project) uses the same kernel as aosp(android open source project). If you are unsure about flashing kernels then by all means don't flash it until you do a little research about it, usually when installing a new kernel you should...
1install ROM from clean wipe(wipe caches,system)
2install kernel
3wipe caches, davlik cache, and fix permissions after you install kernel.
You should be fine after following these instructions.
Now if you plan on tweaker your systems performance via ktweaker read this before as it explains undervolting and the effects it has on your phone.

If after reading this you think you understand a little bit more. Reply if you would like some stable settings for ktweaker.

[Q] Can Any Kernel Work With Any Rom?

Hi I am new to rom and kernel flashing, and I am interested in flashing the ElementalX 1.1 kernel on AOKP. I love AOKP, and I am way interested in the swipe-to-wake and double-tap-to-wake features of ElementalX 1.1.
What kinds of things do I need to know about compatibility between kernels and Roms? Can you typically use any kernel with any rom?
Loving the Nexus experience and looking forward to learning more!

They often can but not always.

Android versions need to match.

Usually you can flash any kernel on any ROMs but if its a CM based ROM and you flash a custom kernel then slimport features sometimes don't work or some times you flash a custom kernel then the boot animation gets cut and turns black it doesn't really matter I have done lots of flashing and I would say that every kernel can be a flashed with any ROM without problems I am currently on CM kang and using kernel elemental x and everything runs smooth..hope this help click thankksss

Don't just slap any kernel to your device you might seriously brick it.....learned this lesson when I had an Atrix4G.....

Nexus devices are different then the Atrix4G. You can not seriously brick it by flashing an incompatible kernel. Even having no kernel will not prevent you from accessing the bootloader and recovery.

[Q] Custom Kernel

I currently have a galaxy s2 (sgh-t989) and am running the newest Kit kat Pac rom nightly. The kernel for the PAc rom build does not support overclocking or voltage control adn I would like to install a custom kernel to allow these features. Does anyone have any suggestions for a custom kernel. Searching on google is not that straight forward for finding a custom kernel.
As far as I understand I will need a kernel that is supported both by the kit kat pac rom and my device and kernels meant for Jellybean won't work. All of the kernels that I have tried to install so far including all of the ones on the xda website have only resulted in boot loops anadvice d I have tried installing them with both the Clock work recovery and TWRP recovery. No success. I'm not sure if this is a function of the PAC rom not supporting custom kernels or if I am just not using the correct kernel.
If anyone has any advice for it would be greatly appreciated. Finding kernels is not that straight forward

I'm sorry to inform you that the Pac ROM does not allow installation of any other kernels. You will have to switch ROMs if you want OCing.

[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.

Need help finding a lollipop kernel that supports PAC rom.

I recently switched from cyanogenmod to pac rom/pacman rom and so far I'm liking it better. But from my understanding the developer of any custom kernel has to include something in the kernel to make it compatible with the pac rom. I've tried hulk kernel, kt/ktoonsez kernel, and more but all of them result in the same thing after installation; it boots up and goes to the "android is starting, optimizing app x out of x" and after it optimizes all the apps, it just restarts and does the same exact thing and is just in a boot loop of that so i have to flash my original kernel. I don't know whether or not this is because the kernels aren't compatible with pac rom. One kernel I've found says it has support for pac rom , which is chronic kernel, which says it has "patch to ramdisk for PACMAN rom" in the changelog, only problem is that it hasn't been updated for a while and only has jb-kk kernels but im running lollipop.
Does it matter if I install a kitkat kernel on lollipop?
Or is there anyway I, not being a developer, can get another non pac rom supported kernel and do the ramdisk patch thing to it?
I'll switch back to cyanogenmod or pa if i absolutely have to, but I'd prefer to keep this rom.
