I was at almost any of this custom Roms but gCam is not so good for camera like this, If I flash custom rom and kernel, when next update come, how do I update it? normally or I must use custom recovery?
I think that depends on your custom ROM. My custom ROM updates through zip file over custom recovery. I have to flash it's again and again every single time it comes out. I think some Lineage ROMs can be flashed over OTA.
I want to stay on stock rom but to have custom recovery, I just not sure how will update when come... Through recovery? Or normal?

Hopefully my title didn't confuse anyone lol.
I was told the main reason for flashing a custom kernel is entering recovery mode, well if that's the case, I have an app called x-parts, it allows me to boot my xperia play in recovery mode without flashing a custom kernel. so....would I be able to flash a custom rom via x-parts WITHOUT having to flash a kernel?
IM HAVING THE HARDEST TIME TRYING TO GET CM7/CM9 ON MY PHONE, ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

I'm pretty sure you can use the same kernel for a CM7 ROM since stock and CM7 are the same Android version, basically.
However, to use an ICS based ROM, flashing a custom kernel is necessary.

It means that i can flash CM7 on stock???? Without flash a custom kernel??? If that is true then CM7 works on locked bootloader....
No. You must have a custom kernel for a custom ROM. Any ROMs that can be flashed on locked bootloader will say so explicitly. CM7 is not one of those.
Thanks for the info guys just curious to see how kernels tried into roms
I've installed custom Kernels many times before, but always on Aosp based ROMs that doesn't have SuperSu or any similar software, but when it comes to TW based ROMs I couldn't manage to flash any custom kernel on any TW based ROMs as they come with SuperSu by deafult, so when I go into recovery and install the kernel zip. file, it shows an error with SuperSu binary and phone get bricked, so I have to flash the stock firmware, in order to fix the device, this happened with me multiple times with different kernels, so I was thinking could I use the stock firmware and, root without automatically installing SuperSu, install the kernel then afterwards download Supersu from the store?
There is a superuser update binary zip you can flash through recovery. If you are rooted then you need superuser. I think you have to be rooted to install a custom kernel

Its been so long since I installed a custom JB rom I can't see how to update to a custom 4.4.4 rom.
I've got KYRILLOSv8 and baseband rom XXMF1 and don't know the steps to take to flash a Carbon KitKat edition. I think I have to use ODIN to flash an official KitKat rom first then follow the instructions for the custom rom, is that correct?
Can I use ODIN to flash official KitKat over the custom KYRILLOSv8 or do I need to go back to official JB rom first?
Its just steps needed to go from JB custom to KK custom I'm unsure about and after a quick procedure guide so as not to end up in a mess. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
It was easier than I thought, flashed the lated JB rom in ODIN then installed custom KK rom and gapps.
Fellas,
I just rooted my phone and learned from a youtube video about creating nandroid backup. I am really excited by this custom ROMs. I want to install lollipop on my Galaxy s3. I see that all the builds on the download section are nightlies for 12.1, so I am not sure whether I can go ahead and install one. I am concerned about any potential issues as I use my phone to get work emails. Can I grab the latest nightly and go ahead with flashing? Also, can you list any issues that I need to be aware of?
Have you updated your phone to the latest stock ROM? If not, I suggest you update to the latest stock ROM, then use Odin to install a custom recovery, use the custom recovery to create a nandroid backip, and finally use custom recovery to flash a custom ROM.
I have a one plus 9 pro fully unlocked model AA I have root and stock recovery at the moment. I would like to flash Twrp so I can install custom roms. Or if I stay on stock can I still apply OTA with twrp installed?
TWRP is there only for A11 ROMs. It's not compatible with OOS12 or any custom ROM built on A12. If you're on custom ROMs, you need to be on the recovery which the developer uploads/provides together with the ROM (linage-based custom recovery).
