I am making an attempt at building my first stock rom with archikitchen and it is asking me what the kernel path is for my kernel? I am building from the BOA8 Stock tar. On the verizon variant.

Figured it out. Thanks for reading, oh if anyone in the future needs to ask such a dumb question it is in updater script at /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot,,,,,,,,,,, since this community is about helping others.

I searched around for it but i cant find the kernel itself.
Has it been pulled yet or am i jumping the gun and should wait for the dev's?
Id like to just use the stock kernel with the true FPS fix on whatever i flash.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

I am almost positive it will not work with another rom until the source code comes out.
The stock kernel from 3.29 is in the development section on the virus Rom thread. I have had trouble flashing it tonight, but I think its because of corrupted downloads. Others have flashed it with no problem, and even got 1400+ quadrants. Virus Rom uses 3.28 base (he released one tonight with the 3.29 base, but before he released the ROM, others were flashing the kernel from it he posted). Check virus thread in development.
Thanks I have been looking for it as well.
Thanks. I'm gonna try it out.
1) Have any Mac users successfully rooted? I know there's a new release candidate for Heimdall, but there's no Mac binary yet and compiling from source is way over my head. And apparently older versions of Heimdall don't work with the T999.
2) For the S3, do you always have to flash recovery separately from the kernel? I just came over from the Epic 4G Touch, and those kernels had recovery baked in.
3) Which TouchWiz ROM offers the best "tweaked stock" experience?
Thanks!
1) no idea, I'm sure there have been Mac users rooting
2) yes we flash recovery and kernels separate.
3) all of the touchwiz ROMs are pretty similar. Try the ones that are still updated and find one you like is the best advice

Sorry, I don't have a mac so not sure bout that one.
I'm not sure why you would want the kernel and recovery to be baked together. Just pick your fave recovery and you can then flash any rom, mod, kernel, etc you want. Never knew they did it the way you were talking about. Sounds like it'd be a lot more work for tge devs.
Third one is one you will have to decide for yourself. There are fantastic roms here but my taste may be totally opposite of yours...

My personal favorite and most stable I have tried is Wicked ROM. The dev just released a new version.
Hi guys, I'm new on this board and I just wanted a ask a few question about this rom. Currently I'm using the Xylon 2.3.3 and I'm loving it so far, running beautifully smooth. I just got a question about the gapps, I've installed the 2013-2-15 gapps with all the photosphere stuff, however there is a newer version gapp which is 20130301, should I update to that?
Also is the kernel that it came with any good? or should I change it to AK purity like a lot of user have said to make it run a lot better.
It's safe to update, just flash over the current gapps.
As far as the kernel goes, most users report great things from the AK kernel so it's worth a shot.
For future reference, please use the corresponding Pre-existing ROM thread to ask such questions. There is no need to initialize a completely new thread.

thanks I will in the future. btw I was just checking the kernel version. It seems like the rom has already built in with the ak kernel purity.030. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If that's what your about tab says then yeah.
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
Does anyone know what the Experimental kernel does?There are no informations about it in the OP of the Rom...I downloaded it but it appears to be for the Nexus 5...What is the difference between this kernel and the rom-kernel???

Who made the kernel?
After updating to the latest Mahdi rom and backing up what I had, I flashed the experimental kernel and wiped cache/dalvik.
It wouldn't boot, so I had to restore what I had.
No idea what it was supposed to do.

Yeah, if it said it was for the nexus, it wasn't going to work. Kernels should be device specific, and I am very skeptical of those that have been supposedly ported over, rather than compiled from the device's kernel source and then updated with new options.
Experimental in regards to kernel devevelopment means there are probably issues beyond the norm.

The filename is Mahdi-Hammerhead-exp-4.4.2-v1.7-23-03-2014.zip, but I thought that just meant it was somehow derived from the Nexus 5. Don't know why it would be posted in the Mahdi rom OP if it didn't have a chance of working.
To make myself clear.I said that nexus 5 thing, because the file of the kernel says hammerhead..But everything is fine..I use the rom as it is....I want to thank the dev for this amazing rom..A big thank you to all the devs..All of them have put a lot of work to their projects..I just made a question about this kernel.nothing else..Thanks for the reply..
