[Q] CM10.2 Kernel Choices?

Quick question if I wanted to install for example TripNDroid's kernel on a CM10.2 (4.3) ROM should I repack the kernel to get it to boot. I haven't tried a straight install yet, and the reason I ask this is the Kernel's don't explicitly state support for any AOSP version greater than 4.2.2. I've searched this but can't seem to find an answer.

I repacked XM's kernel for someone to use on cm10.2 and they reported all ok

Try both...if you have a backup you cannot really screw up. You can always restore and flash stock boot.img.
I would recommend a repack to accommodate possible/probable ramdisk changes between 4.2.2 and 4.3.
Lastly, the kernel DOES NOT officially support 4.3 so it may not work at all.

Thanks for the help to both of you I will try the repack if that fails I'll just restore the nandroid or attempt to reflash the CM10.3 boot.img

Hey what's up guys I need your help please.
I modified the latest rom by LiquidSmooth(and it's a KitKat Unofficial ROM for the i9300, no bugs), and I didn't have a computer at the time I was making it, so I modified and did it all through my phone. So what I am asking is, is there any way I can take that ROM I modified and make I flashable ROM out of it, so I can upload it and people can flash it to their own phones?:highfive:

..ask permission to the developer and maybe he can help you with that flashable zip.

Remember that you would need to make sure that it has a meta.inf folder. And also inside the meta.inf folder the updater script is updated to include the files you have included or the files wont flash properly or work.

So, were you ever able to accomplish this? I'm looking at getting an S3 9300 to replace my now-deceased S2 which WAS running another adaptation of KitKat and I got REALLY spoiled by the features of the LiquidSmooth ROM. Would love to see a KitKat LiquidSmooth!
One suggestion, the PhilzTouch CWM (on my S2) had an option to make a flashable .zip file of your current ROM. Maybe give that a try. But to reiterate, you might want to communicate with the LiquidSmooth team to be sure they are ok with that.

[Q]Can I flash a new ROM while I have a custom kernel installed?

So guys. I've installed CyanogenMod 10.1
Swapped memory seats with a modified vold.fstab
And installed the stone kernel.
I want to install CyanogenMod 10.2 or CyanogenMod 11 or OmniRom but I'm pretty unsure if I'm gonna get bricked. The main question is. is it safe to flash a custom Rom while you have a custom kernel installed?. Thanks.

Just in case. Here's my Benchmark test and some other info about my phone.

Yes, you can insatall any one ROM that you like Every ROM contains its kernel and when you install ROM you also install new kernel.
You can flash any other kernels but this in ROM is optimized for it.

Mostly correct, but some cases are troubling (most notably installing 4.3.x over 4.4) so if it rejects known good ZIPs try flashing them over stock kernel+cwm6.zip

Anyway it's better to not change kernel from custom ROM's because they are good enough

[Q] Can you flash a custom rom to a different Kernel or vice versa?

Im just new to flashing roms and stuff so i have a question
Can you Flash a different Kernel to a different rom?
like for example , i have my Xperia S running on ParanoidAndroid 4.2 Beta 1 and since overclocking is not posible i want to flash a new kernel because i dont want to system reset my phone.
is it posible? Pls help

Yes, it's possible, just flash the kernel you want with cwm without wiping system or data. (Note that the kernel must be compatible with the rom!)

It is possible, but I don't think there is an overclocking kernel for PA yet. Deedwar wants to include it, but hasn't come to it yet. The AOSPA legacy ROMs will definitely not have overclocking though.

Hello @deedwar, @Redstarr1!
While we're on the subject, i was wondering if you could explain to me is it possible to use the boot.img from the newest experimental CM11 build by RaymanFX and use it (flash it) in AOSPA Legacy builds by Deedwar? Considering that the AOSPA legacy builds have cm as a base.
Thank you in advance!

Not this time you cant. He has upgraded a few very key areas that require newer sources that need to be included in the ROM itself. So you will have to wait till i get around to editing the kernel and adding it to my github for AOSPA to build from.

flashing elementalx kernel - but which one?

Hello, I bought the elementalx apk from the app store and quickly realised that life isn't that simple and I needed to flash my device with an elementalx kernel.
I run a nexus 7 2013 wifi only tablet, rooted and on 4.3 (JSS15Q). There are lots of different kernel links to choose from and as a noob am unsure if I need to flash a kernel specific to my jellybean operating system.
I also flip between flashing different operating systems quite a bit depending on what I am doing, will the kernel affect this?
Any help gratefully received.

IMO you should update to Marshmallow, do a nandroid backup then flash the elemental kernel, then install the elemental app. As far as i know the app is only for tuning the kernel and doesnt flash it. If you have a pc try using the excellent Nexus Root Toolkit it makes things really easy good luck��
I just looked there are no elementalx kernels for 4.3 so you will have to update your nexus

I believe it's ElementalX 1.8 that you need for JSS15Q 4.3;

Also, Bulletproof kernel by Flar2 will work, see this thread;
