Long time lurker, first time poster :3. Anyways, I have a few questions regarding the flashing of ROMs and kernels. I have been looking around for a nice ROM(s) or a kernel(s) to flash the t989. Currently I am running on rooted stock and want to mix it up a bit. I came across the Darkside X v1 Final kernel located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466283&page=44 .
Now the question is can I flash this kernel but retain the stock ROM?
- any advantages vs flashing kernel and a new ROM?
- disadvantages?
Is there anything that I should be concerned about, or pay special attention to before proceeding with this?
Thanks!

(1) Yes you can, just wipe cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing kernel
(2) Depends on what the kernel has to offer. I'm not super well informed on tdjs kernel but for one you get BLN support which is great. You also get performance and battery enhancements plus many other goodies.
(3) Not really, any kernel on these forums is better than stock so you're looking at nothing but advantages.
(4) As long as you follow the proper steps to installing a kernel you should be fine. Common sense is your friend. Once you flash a specific kernel you might want to look at under clocking and under vaulting to extend your battery life with minimal performance decrease.
BONUS: TDJ's Darkside ROM and Eugenes Streamline Kernel are the best for me. Great stability, battery and performance. Refer to my signature for links.
Best of luck
The best advice I can give is Back up your stock rom with rom manager and back your apps with titanium, after that you can flash flash any rom and take it on a test drive to see how it feels. If you see it's buggy you can go back to the stock you had to begin with like you never did a thing.
Personalty I tried most of the ICS roms an found bugs I just couldn't deal with in one way or another. I did find this ICS rom today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623430
This has the leaked tmo kernel and radio making it almost the complete update we so deserve lol. anyway I put it on today and sofar all I could say is it is sweet no bugs this far and love the ICS......
Last advice is before flash do the darkside super wipe this does a better job then just wipe cache and dalvik cache and you dont lose the data you have backed up.
Oh also follow the directions from any rom to the tee to lessen the chance for problems
[Q] Questions regarding kernels and romArrow
Thanks for the input guys. Right now, I would like to experiment with a new kernel before going full-blown with a ROM...I will likely do that later down the road.
Now, while I was reading up on the various kernels and their offerings, another question popped into my head. Will flashing the phone with a new kernel purge pre-existing applications and settings? I will be backing up regardless, but I just thought I'd ask.

Hey guys. I'll be flashing a new rom soon, and I wanted to get your opinions on which of these roms to flash. I've been using Liquidsmooth V1.4 but with Jelly Bean I'm considering flashing a new rom.
I tried AOKP when it was still ICS and I decided to switch to Liquidsmooth because it has all the same features that I use and the rom file is smaller so the battery life it better. I don't see the correlation but the battery life was definitively better. Battery life is one of my main concerns so it will be one of the main deciding factors for my rom of choice. Please help me make my decision, and only comment if you have actually used both roms in one of their more recent forms.
Also, please include your kernel, and other info you feel is important enough to include. Thanks

Rom size and battery life have no correlation.
Did you really have to make a new thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29171823#post29171823

This was before the thread was moved. I attemped to delete the other one.
The correct answer is SlimICS / SlimBean.
Hello,
I am searching a ROM which should be FAST and with a INT2SD support. (or similar) I was using Runnymede before and now I am using the VJ CM10.1. I started to get tired of the low performance and the various bugs.. (I am not complaining of course the VJ did amazing work who brough 4.2.2 in our mobile but when spontaneous reboots happened in the worst occasions you are searching for something more stable )
So, which one you suggest? What about MIUI XJ ?
PS: xda-moderators, why you dont create a sticky thready which has a Poll about the rom that the users are using?
Thanks,
c.
Milwilds redux ROM.
I can recommend MIUI XJ too.

They did try, but they're just not that useful...
1) requires people to actually bother to vote
2) way too many roms to even put on the poll, and do you break each rom down by version number??
3) the poll wouldn't update when people switch roms, and people wouldn't bother to change their vote
4) people that do vote might be people that just say "IT'S THE BEST ROM EVA!!!!" without any justification, also you don't know how many rom's they've tried to arrive at this 'conclusion'
5) people's rom requirements are different, only you know what your exact requirements are . If you try a few roms and find the one that's best for you, then that's progress. Nothing wrong with people giving recommendations here and there, but you can quite easily then pick a rom which is best for them (which is kind of what the poll does)
Any AOSP CM7 based, Oxygen, MildWild's, dGB etc.
problem is in your phone, not VJ rom.
we can't recommend, you need test them all byself.
Hi,
I'm searching for a stable ROM, with android >= 4.3 (under 4.3.X, my cardiosport doesn't work). The ROM must be stable (no update need, everything is working fine, low battery consuption, etc)
So, based on your experience, which rom is stable?
Thanks.
this will probably soon lead to a rom comparison thread and they are forbidden.
Just pick a few you like the most and test them for a couple of days. That's the best tips i can give you.

Hello,
Currently running the rooted stock 5.0 ROM by Skin and I'm not too fond of the LG UI and quite frankly the only thing I'd miss is the camera so I'm wondering which ROM is the most suitable as a daily driver - with the exception of the stock ROMs. I also figured this kind of thread could help people in the same position as myself so it could keep the Q+A forums a bit more clean in the future when less experienced users come along to the G3 development section.
So far my list consists of;
MAHDI ROM
PA AOSPA
LIQUIDSMOOTH
CARBON ROM
CANDYKAT
Decided to leave out CM11 as I prefer ROMs with plenty of customization features. I've used the majority of the above on previous devices but understandably I haven't got the time to flash 6 different ROMs and do charge cycles to see which is the most reliable, smoothest, best battery life and of course most suitable as a daily driver.
Another question I have is I currently have the TWRP.img on my device and I noticed the new one which can backup modems, can I just flash that and overwrite my current recovery without any issues- And would my current Nandroid backups be compatible?
Thank you,
Curtis.
