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.

So I have got a question that maybe many others have yet to voice or address (maybe it's just me, and I am delusional). In any event, I am not new to rooting and flashing ROMS. I am also familiar--at least conceptually--with what the kernel is and what it does. For the purposes of this post however, I should mention that I have not ever flashed a custom kernel and am unsure as to why one would or why there is more than one floating around. I have been vacillating back on forth between stock and custom kernels....it seems like in order to flash this ROM you need this Kernel, or that ROM flash that Kernel. I want to learn and to know. I would really appreciate feedback on this.

Kernel's are installed or "flashed" in the same manner as a custom ROM, either through CWM or Odin. Kernel's just add an extra level of customization, most people use custom Kernel's for overclocking although they also have many other uses.
Kernals can also highly affect battery life and the speed of roms. The kernal has to match the kind of rom. Samsung kernals go with samsung/touchwiz based roms. Aosp kernals go with aosp based roms like cyanogenmod and aokp. There are a few jellybean kernals and those will work for the current jellybean aosp based roms. Samsung will eventually release their own jellybean update and when that happens expect to see jellybean samsung kernals made for roms based on samsung jellybean.
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.
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
hey guys..new to this website nd flashin new roms.. currently using paranoid 3.99 for my n7000..just wanted to know what kernel should i use with this ROM for a better performance..?? and how to flash the same..sorry for the noob question bt seriously new to these stuff..
thnk yu..
Kernel choice is up to the user... any AOSP based kernel for your device will work with the ROM. You can make a decision by searching the various kernel threads in your device forum, they should also contain information on flashing. In general you flash the kernel via recovery the same way you flash a ROM (kernels must be flashed after flashing a ROM however, else the ROM will overwrite the custom kernel with it's own).
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.
