Hi, I'm having trouble flashing any custom kernel on PA 4.4. Ive double checked that they're all AOSP and 4.4 compatible but I'm unable to actually get to the bootlogo.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Without any relevant info like device, kernel, or ROM version. Kind of hard to say

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
Hello everyone. I recently rooted my SGS3 and flashed the Dandroid ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121506
It uses a stock kernel, and I would like to use a different Kernel, one that is overclocked with excellent battery life. However, I am not familiar with kernels and how they work. I am not sure which Kernels I am able to use with this particular rom. I do not want to brick my device, I would like some recommendations on a few Kernels that are compatible with this ROM. Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone
This was a very simple question, no one can help ?
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.
Hello there
4.4.4 has been out for a while now on a couple of custom ROMs but unfortunately I cannot seem to find any custom kernels that support it. I looked in both the Android Development and Original Android Development sections but the latest I could find were for 4.4.3.
The reason I am asking is because I would like to install MultiROM but it requires kernels with kexec-hardboot patch, like ElementalX and such. I am currently running the latest Android Revolution HD 20.1 4.4.4 which I assume has a stock kernel?
Can anyone please help and/or point me in the right direction? Would it be possible to install kernels based on 4.4.3 if 4.4.4 ROMs are still using an older kernel or would I just have to wait?
Thanks1

No custom kernels exist yet for Sense 4.4.4. Custom kernels require access to the kernel code, and that is yet to be released yet by HTC. Unfortunately, those who have tried 4.4.3 kernels on 4.4.4 roms have ended up with bootloops.
Yeah.. bootloops is what I was afraid would happen. Thanks for your information, cr1960, I appreciate it.
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.
