I have been on here searching roms I have experimented with twrp cwm and philz recoveries and have to say philz seems to be the best for our devices
Now I'm ready to flash a customer rom and kernel I have researched and with all the possibilities out there I would like to know which rom and kernel work the smoothest I'm looking for a 4.4 rom and kernel in you guys opinions which one works the smoothest and is compatible with philz recovery

Try any of sleshepic roms with either the devil kernel, or Plasma kernel.. I personally us Classic 3.0 TW with devils kernel and so far running real smooth.. It is one of the most stable TW roms for this phone..
Stock-wise @sleshepic is my go-to guy (disclosure: I am a bit biased though because of our past work to get said kernels to build properly.)
Alternatively..
If you have access to Linux you could try taking the repo from my Github and start making your own tweaked kernel.
Just look for the Community kernel thread as that's where we usually keep links and instructions up on building.
@garwynn I will look into that I'm still new to this I tried to develop a kernel for the HTC one sv but that was more advanced for what I was ready for it was a ported gsm to cdma rom kernel

I really like being rooted and I used cyanogenmod 7 release candidate for at least a week and I missed stock so I flashed it back. I really don't know much about kernels, so I was wondering if a custom kernel would work on the stock Rom and change much of it?
Yes. You need a Sense based kernel.

I would recommend Lou's #8 or Chads, both run great on stock roms.
This one is nice and stable

Hello everyone. I have a question about all of those new kernels that are popping up rapidly in our community for ICS. I'm a pretty advanced phone user and I've been around the community for awhile so I know what a kernel is and things like that.
But anyways, I've been using EL26 fastboot stock CWM and EL29 stock CWM kernels before that to flash anything from ICS using Mobile Odin. Lately I've seen a ton of new kernels pop up and I'm wondering about their benefits.
Agat63's Repacked Kernels
Team Win Recovery Project Kernels
ReactiveDisorder's Kernels
I believe all of them are repacked with Recovery (I haven't tested them yet so I may be wrong) and they're all TW-based.
Could anyone explain what makes each of their kernels different and the benefits they offer? Do they bypass the emmc lockup or not? Which one is the most safe? I don't see how any of them could be drastically different because they aren't custom kernels since we don't have the ICS source yet.
Well for one thing, Agat's most recent repacks have some mileage on them with regards to being safe for flashing roms and wipes.

TWRP recovery/kernels are also known safe. There is a CM9 and TWiz version. I would stay from RADs repacked kernels.

Agat's and TWRP (for GB, ICS and CM9) both have code in place to basically prevent the edify scripts that were causing the EMMC bricks to even start. They are both safe for flashing.
ReActiveDisorder kernels blocked the wipe data option that was the primary source of the bricking. But it has been discontinued.
There is a safe CWM repacked kernel for CM9 and there is supposedly one on the works for AOKP.
For the most part what you are seeing are just stock kernels packed with a custom recovery. The really awesome kernels will be rolling out right as source hits.
So I have the newest miui rom that is in the android development section. I am wondering if there are any kernels that I can change to that are better than the one it comes with. Am I even able to switch kernels?

Get the AOSP version of it JB also
Isn't there a kernel by faux or something? Or is there only one kernel I can have?
Yes, Fuax has a JB CM10 kernel. It's what I use since KT747 doesn't ever work for me.

Hi I was wondering what is the best Kernel for the T-Mobile version of the SG2 when it comes to battery like and performance. Right now I am running CM10 4.1.2 and its stock kernel that comes with the ROM. I am fairly new to this whole process so if I flash a new kernel do I have to wipe everything or just the cache? Please help me. Thank you
You shouldn't need to wipe everything but I do if I can. Ocd.
Also, some ROMs are not compatible with all kernels and vise versa. There is no best kernel IMO. Just test em out.

Like said before, there isn't a best kernel. But read through the threads and but can see what each one does and it's problems.
I would recommend lightning zap but u have to do some digging in the pages. It's stable, best performance and battery life
Also u don't have to wipe anything but it's recommended to flash after a new rom flash

Really...its all preference ....so start flashing and find out.
Everyone's opinion will be different.
If this was Family Fued .....this would be the number one answer.

ive been using pro bam 4.3 rom and it has been great. except for battery running out a little fast but am giving it a few days for the rom to settle in!
PA 3.99
I have been messing around with a lot of 4.3 roms and pretty much all of them have the same stability. As for me, I prefer PA (Paranoid Android) 3.99 and PAC Rom but more toward PA 3.99 because it just seem slightly less buggy and bit smoother. Again, to each their own at this point since there is no official 4.3 for this device.

I've been using Hellybean , always you the latest, no issues. Love it.
As others have said its really just a preference thing. I have been trying out a few different ROMs, just to see which ones I like the most, especially 4.3 versions. I have been using [ROM] Unofficial | CyanogenMod 10.2 | Diablo Kernel [09-23-13] from ThdDude for the past day or two and havent had any issues to speak of. I really like that it has the Diablo Kernel compiled. I have noticed though that for some reason when I was trying to Flash 4.3 ROMs with CWM the system would boot but then go black and would have to go into recovery. I finally decided to give TWRP a try and havent experienced any problems flashing 4.3 ROMs. I have actually really been enjoying it and have some real respect for the developers.
stable 4.3 roms
The best I have used is the 9/26 aokp by whitehawkz along with uber kernel. Running 2.6.3.0 twrp. Especially like the active notifications with no problems.
There is no BEST and yet they are all the BEST. Members are expected to research and read through the development threads before altering their device. The only thing you will get here is a list of all the ROM's because every member has found what is best for them. You can get the same list by looking at the first few pages in development.
Thread closed.
Have a great day!
