[Q] Question about Kernel (Note 2 Rogers)

Hey there people,
Read the FAQs and did some browsing already but not really finding the information or maybe not searching the right things.
So I'm looking at flashing the Ditto Note 3 ROM but not having any luck. Using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and currently on IOKP, and I've read the Ditto Note 3 page several times ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541860 ) and it mentions changing the kernel to an N7105 MK5 Kernel and I just don't understand that.
It looks like the ROM info states that Kernel is in the rom itself for when you flash, and they also say "Pick N7105 instead of I317, otherwise you will stuck at "Sumsung" glowing logo!!!" but I really do not want to screw up my note 2 by flashing for a different device.... Is that why the kernel is there?
All in all, I've been reading lots of information regarding this and not finding the right information. I'm getting more well versed in this information but some things like this go above my head. Any help would be amazing.
EDIT: Noticed that I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 instead of 2.6.3.1, how difficult is that to change and if changed do I lose my back-up of stock touchwiz rom?

[q] unable to update software for galaxy note ii gt n7105

I have rooted my Galaxy Note II GT N7105 and change my ROM to Customize ROM. But I found out that i made something wrong that i dont even backed up my imei and my S Pen is not working anymore. So I decided to return my ROM to factory ROM for I think this will help me repair my phone. Please refer to the image for the information of the custom ROM that I installed. Everythings goes well after the installation of the ROM I downloaded (but now I dont know where I downloaded it) until I figured out that my phone is having hard time updating its software. It stocked on Adroid Version 4.1.2 Baseband N7105XXDLL5 Build Number JZ054K.N7105XXDMB2. Can you give me any idea how to fix this problem. Any suggestions are appreaciated. Thanks guys..

Can anyone enlighten my view on this phone?

Hello, name's Mike, have been in the android side for a while and it's my first time actually owning an US version of a phone, the N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) running 5.0 stock TW. (I don't live in the US)
So please, enlighten me!
ROOT AND RECOVERY
I have tried to root it and did it successfully, however when I tried to get a custom recovery on it, I only got boot loops so far, tried various tutorials, none of them have yet worked out for me.
CUSTOM ROMS
Are there any current custom rom development for this phone? I've seen lots of KK roms but I was looking to get a stable lollipop AOSP like rom like CM12 but without crashes or battery drain. Does anyone know any good roms that are stable?
PORTING
Also! How do you port a N9005 rom to a 900T? I've seen some methods by flashing a BT+Wifi fix or something like that but it seems outdated and I don't want to brick my phone just yet.
Please, please help me out, I am really out of it. Used to Custom rom on a Huawei U8650, Galaxy S2 and on my G2, but this is harder due to it being a carrier phone.
Thanks for your comprehension.

Did you download the right TWRP? Get the tar file and odin it.

Did you check the N900T development forum? There is quite a few to select from. I.E. Slim

Sorry can't help you with porting.

S4 jfltexx ROM variant on a jfltetmo S4?

I have a Galaxy S4 jfltetmo, and a few days ago I decided to try and flash a ROM that was meant for S4 jfltexx, just to see if it would work. At first the flash failed, so I flashed TWRP for jfltexx onto my T-Mobile S4, then tried flashing the ROM for jfltexx and it worked! And to my surprise, I haven't noticed any major bugs yet. Has anyone else tried doing this before? If so, are there any known problems or bugs that people have experienced? What are the hardware differences between the 2 variants? Thanks!

Yes....everyones been able to run i9505 (jfltexx) roms for years now. The ROM dev for that ROM you tried didnt have our m919 included in his updater script, thats why it failed until you put a jfltexx recovery on.
Ive been using i9505 twrp v3 since it came out with no issues.
Any ROM bugs you have the i9505 will most likely have as well (look in rom thread).
Only other thing to note is that the m919 never got 5.0.1 so the LTE radio and modem are for 4.4.x and might effect performance/battery life on LP/MM.....hard to say if it does though....I'm using a 4.2.2 BL (MDL) and a 4.4.4 (OK3) modem and havent had any problems with any rom (JB/KK/LP/MM), that didnt already have an issue at the time of flashing.
Happy Flashing

Thanks for the reply and info!

Samsung galaxy note 2 shv-e250l custom rom help.

Hey guys , i`m new here, i was wondering if you could help me with my galaxy note 2 shv-e250l.
I got tired of samsung 4.4.2 kikat touchwiz and also my phone started getting laggy.
I would be very greatfull if you could help with step by step tutorials, i have never installed a custom rom, or a custom recovery, i`ve had a galaxy xcover1 before my note2, so i couldn`t really try any custom roms on my xcover.
I noticed that there`s a marhsmallow rom (android 6.0) and i would like to know if i can install it, or if i could install a cyanogen mod.
Also i`d love to hear what custom roms you use on your note2 phones and what are your thoughts regarding the experience you had with them.
Thank you, and have a good day.
