Hi Everyone,
I'm currently rocking Wicked ROM v5 with SaberN3Kernel_10.7 on Android 4.3 and I have a few questions that I searched around for but couldn't find clear answers.
When I'm ready to upgrade to KitKat or whatever version is out by then, can I just use OTA update from T-Mobile or do I need to flash the stock ROM myself using ODIN?
If I ever wanted to flash a new custom ROM or a stock ROM would I still have Saber Kernel or would it get overwritten by whatever the new ROM came with?
Thanks In Advanced,
Art

1. If you are running g a custom ROM you will need to download the official version from sammobile.com and then flash using odin. The OTA does not work if using a custom ROM.
2. When you upgrade to 4.4 you will loose root and your kernel. It's just as easy to root 4.4 as it was 4.3. If you have a custom kernel and you flash a new ROM most of the time you are given a choice if you want to flash their kernel or not. If it does flash their kernel you can always reflash the one you want. Just as a side note, if you upgrade to 4.4 make sure your kernel is built for 4.4.

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!!
I currently have my note 2 on stock 4.3 without root and i want to get the Note 3 features in it.
My firmware goes like N7100XXUEMKA_N7100OJVEMK3_XSG. from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=23540
Last time i tried was, root-->wipe-->factory reset-->flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467810
But that gave lot of crashes on homescreen and i couldnt use it. So the question here is, is there any way i can get these features and still run official stock? as seen on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xcg7vgcJwW8 . Or do i have to go with flashing either Dr.Ketan's Custom ROM V6 Deodexed or DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM?

For this mod you need a DEODEXED 4.3 XXUEMK4 based Rom. The only way is to root and flash the mod over it. Or you can flash a custom rom where this mod is includet.

I have not flashed DN3 yet. But i am very happy with ketan's rom. Deodexed roms can be found in android development section. There is one pure stock but only deodexed and rooted from doctor ketan. It's in android development busection. And S3 features are working.
I just want to know. If I want to install just only the kernel, can I use stock ROM or did I need to flash custom ROM? I am using Nexus 7 LTE Android 4.4.2
Thanks

If you want to have a custom kernel you can install that over a stock rom.
You will need your device to be unlocked and install a custom recovery first.
TWRP for instance: http://teamw.in/

Thank you! I appreciate that :good:
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?

Hello,
I have a HTC One m8 International model running stock Rom lollipop. Is there a way to disable system write protection? Every time an app tries to write something in system, the phone reboots. I know about wp_mod but it is for android 4.4.4 and I don't know if it can be used on the stock Rom. Is there any solution to this? I don't want to flash a custom Rom just because of this...
Thank you in advance!

You can flash custom kernel like ElementalX for example, no need to install custom ROM
Does the kernel affect my daily usage in any way? If I want to go full stock, can I find the original kernel here , on xda?
No idea as I don't use custom kernel only own modded stock kernel.
You can make a backup of your stock kernel before you install the custom one.
If you go full stock for OTA purpose, you don't need to revert to stock kernel.

If you look through the thread for the wp_mod, it says that the mod is version specific (so a 5.0 ROM will need the corresponding 5.0 mod, the 4.4.4 one won't work). It also says near the end of that thread, you can pull the boot.img from a corresponding custom ROM (similar base) and flash it to your phone to disable write protection (the kernels from custom ROMs have the mod applied).
